Chapter 247: Are You Still Half Asleep?
Whoosh!
It was unclear if it was to welcome Yan Mingyu or to humiliate her.
As she stepped through the gates of the Liu Family villa, her black gown trailing elegantly behind her, a spotlight suddenly shone upon her.
"Wow...."
On the lawn, over a hundred pairs of eyes followed Yan Mingyu, eliciting gasps of admiration.
The number one beauty of the East Sea truly lived up to her reputation!
The black gown made her skin appear as smooth and white as ivory.
The form-fitting design accentuated her shapely figure, full and upright.
Around her slender, swan-like neck was a ruby necklace.
It was the finishing touch that brought out her noble and elegant demeanor.
Above that was a beautiful face that could turn the world upside down.
Light makeup only added to her bright eyes and white teeth, her beauty unparalleled.
However, the young man and woman following her seemed rather plain in comparison.
The man was unkempt and dressed casually. The woman's short hair and neutral casual wear, along with her wheat-colored skin, gave her a tomboyish air.
They were none other than Qin Yu and Lu Wenrou.
Actually, their attractiveness would be considered quite high amongst ordinary people.
But next to Yan Mingyu, whose brilliance was so dazzling tonight, the two of them inevitably seemed dull.
"Let us all come together to welcome our Liu Family's future young mistress!"
Liu Yupan straightened his custom-made suit, a victor's smile on his face, and slowly walked towards Yan Mingyu.
"Wow, as expected, not only has Young Master Liu annexed the Yan Family, but he's also won over Yan Mingyu!"
"Damn, that's a real man, able to take a great beauty like Yan Mingyu for himself!"
"Hey, I'd be willing to die ten years earlier for a night with Yan Mingyu!"
Envious murmurs filled the venue.
"Hehe...."

Yan Mingyu smiled enchantingly.
Her lips curled slightly in scorn, "Young Master Liu, you must be dreaming. With your despicable and shameless ways, you're far from worthy of my attention!"
"Oh?"
Liu Yupan's face darkened a bit.
He gazed deeply at Yan Mingyu and said coolly, "What, do you think your Yan Family still has a chance to turn things around? Are you relaying on yourself, or your good-for-nothing bodyguard?"
"Trash, who are you calling a good-for-nothing? How about we spar a little?"
Qin Yu rolled up his sleeves.
"Heh, Qin, the bodyguard, you might not know this, but I'm quite capable of fighting, too! You can call me bad, but not weak. Since you're asking for a beating, I'll indulge you, trash!"
Liu Yupan took off his gold-rimmed glasses, his eyes gradually becoming more profound and fierce.
Subtle strength!
Qin Yu instantly felt it.
This Liu Yupan was no ordinary schemer; he was a hidden master.
But in his wildest dreams, he couldn't have imagined that he himself had already opened the Dragon's Spine and was one step into Huajin, right?
Moreover, upon getting out of the car, he had injected a dose of adrenaline, just in case he had to fight someone.
As for the effect of adrenaline, well, if Lin Daiyu were given a shot, she could probably take down Guan Yu after a warm-up drink.
"Come on, everyone make some room. Young Master Liu is going to make friends through martial arts tonight!"
Liu Yupan's henchmen had already started moving tables, clearing a space on the lawn.
They had visited the hospital that morning and knew Qin Yu had suffered serious internal injuries.
Even if he were skilled, under these conditions he couldn't possibly be a match for Liu Yupan.
"Yan Mingyu, now that it has come to this, you still dare to challenge me? Then I will tear apart your last resort, one piece at a time! Qin Yu, come on, I sure hope you're not just all talk!"
With a cold and grim look at Yan Mingyu, Liu Yupan turned and walked towards the middle of the lawn.
"Uh... what's happening? It seems Yan Mingyu doesn't want to give in, right?"
"But what trump card could she possibly have left? The vice mayor and the Gu King of Miaojiang's daughter are both on Liu's side!"
"Is she still relying on her bodyguard? I remember, at a charity dinner six months ago, some Japanese punk tried to show off and ended up getting knocked out by her bodyguard!"
"This time is different. They've messed with Liu, a local through and through. I doubt her bodyguard can change the outcome this time!"
The onlookers couldn't help but wear puzzled expressions, sensing that tonight's drama was a bit different from what they had imagined.
Even so, they didn't believe Yan Mingyu could turn the tables.
"Since Liu has given me the chance to beat him fair and square, I definitely can't miss it!"
Qin Yu shrugged his shoulders and also walked towards the center of the lawn.
Miao Xian'er was still sucking on a lollipop, playing a mobile game, as if all of this had nothing to do with her.
"Insect, I admit you can fight, but do you know what a powerful family is, what depth of resources means?"
With a look of contempt, Liu Yupan slowly undid his suit buttons and took off his white shirt as well.
Underneath was a white tank top that barely concealed his chiseled, angular muscles.
"Heh, I always thought Liu was a frail scholar, but who knew he had such a strong physique!"
Qin Yu gave a faint smile, his expression barely changing.
He had already faced off against the Huajin expert Ghost Granny in person; Liu Yupan was merely at Dark Energy level and couldn't intimidate him at all.
"This isn't the dead muscle from a gym; this is muscle built punch by punch. When you were still in diapers playing with mud, I was already training in martial arts with my master!"
Liu Yupan spoke with a hint of pride in his tone.
Indeed, he had reason to be proud. He was smart, disciplined, and skilled in martial arts, not only capable of instantly taking down commoners at the bottom level but also overpowering the wealthy heirs around him.
"Oh, so Liu has been practicing martial arts since he was young, but he's still only at Dark Energy level. That just shows... your aptitude isn't that great, is it?"
Qin Yu spoke leisurely.
"Hmph, I hope your fighting skills are better than your trash talk!"
Liu Yupan snorted coldly.
"Heh, let's get started then!"
Qin Yu smiled faintly, assuming a defensive stance.
"Ha..."
Liu Yupan's hands shot up like axes towards Qin Yu's face, while he hooked his toes at the same time, aiming to knock down the internally injured Qin Yu with one move.
"Yes!"
The Liu Family's bodyguards cheered.
A while back, Qin Yu had barged into the villa alone and had beaten more than twenty of them mercilessly.
They couldn't wait for Liu Yupan to make Qin Yu scream tonight.
"Brilliant!"
Most of the people present didn't understand martial arts, but they could see that Liu Yupan really had some moves.
"Bang!"
"Staggering back..."
However, nobody expected Qin Yu's body to be so flexible, like a noodle, twisting at an unbelievable angle, as he landed a heavy punch in Liu Yupan's ribs.
Instantly, Liu Yupan's face turned red, and his body uncontrollably staggered back several steps.
"How can this be?"
"Wasn't this kid supposed to have internal injuries?"
"How does he seem even stronger than before?"
Liu Yupan stared hard at Qin Yu, his mind filling with a series of question marks.
