Cui Zheming definitely didn't want to become such a person. That wouldn't just be his own shame; it would bring disgrace to the entire Cui Family.

So when Jin Zhengming asked for his help, Cui Zheming refused without hesitation, and even went out of his way to distance himself from Jin Zhengming, maintaining a completely detached attitude regarding the matter.

"Why?"

This response pushed Jin Zhengming straight into an abyss, extinguishing the last glimmer of hope in his heart completely.

Being trampled under Qin Fang's foot, his eyes filled with unwillingness, he almost gritted his teeth as he angrily questioned.

Just not long ago, Cui Zheming had confidently proclaimed he would collaborate with the J Family to eradicate the Ryu Family dwelling on Jeju Island.

But when the opportunity really came, Cui Zheming chose to retreat… lacking even the courage to face a direct battle, which infuriated Jin Zhengming greatly.

And all this was merely because of one person's appearance.

Facing Jin Zhengming's resentful questions, Cui Zheming just shrugged indifferently, without any intention of explaining. Although Jin Zhengming wasn't weak, and the J Family was a second-rate family in Korea, it meant nothing to the Cui Family.

The original intent was just to draw in the J Family to have a bit more leverage and assurance when confronting the Fu Family… But it wasn't necessary to work with the J Family.

Especially in the current situation, integrating with the Ryu Family clearly seemed more advantageous than aligning with the J Family.

Even if they couldn't bring the Ryu Family into the Cui alliance, at least they shouldn't push the Ryu Family towards the Fu Family… Otherwise, the participation of Qin Fang, a young expert with an unknown background, wouldn't bode well for the Cui Family.

Faced with such a choice, nobody would choose to help the J Family, especially not a profit-driven businessman like Cui Zheming...

"Mr. Liu, I'll leave this one to you..."

With things reaching this point, Cui Zheming's detachment basically set the tone for the entire event.

Qin Fang didn't bother to exert more effort, simply putting power into his foot, gently kicking Jin Zhengming's body like a kite with a broken string, flying several meters in the air, and then landing stably in front of Liu Xianhe.

The precision of such control over strength amazed Cui Zheming, at least he felt ashamedly inferior… and he was even more uncertain about Qin Fang's true power.

Having captured Jin Zhengming and thrown him to Liu Xianhe to handle, Qin Fang didn't bother to get involved any further, and returned to the resort to accompany Tang Feifei and the others.

With Jin Zhengming captured, and Jin Zhengxi still hanging from a tree, the remaining experts from the J Family were scarce, unlike the Ryu Family. Liu Xianjun was a mid-master level expert, and Liu Xianhe was practically unbeatable below the master level, the outcome of this Jin-Ryu conflict was essentially predetermined.

Busy handling the aftermath, Liu Xianhe didn't come to disturb Qin Fang, who was delighted to be free, concentrating on accompanying Tang Feifei and the three girls as they traveled around Jeju Island.

During this period, Cui Zheming visited, probing Qin Fang's identity with suggestive words, but the information he obtained was scant, ultimately leaving helplessly.

Qin Fang could partake in conflicts like those between the J and Ryu Families, as he could effortlessly handle any expert from these two major families.

However, dealing with the Cui Family wasn't something Qin Fang was keen on, firstly due to unfamiliarity and the difficulty of forming any sense of trust.

The second and most crucial point is that the Cui Family's enemy, the Fu Family, is equally powerful, both having Grandmaster-level experts. Although Qin Fang claims to be invincible below Grandmaster-level, he stands no chance against a Grandmaster-level expert.

Rather than inviting unnecessary trouble, it would be more advantageous to quickly settle matters and leave; no matter how intense the disputes in Korea become, Qin Fang wouldn't care at all.

Seeing the inevitability of the situation, Cui Zheming gave up worrying about it, returning early to the Cui Family, presumably to clean up the mess this incident left behind.

The Ryu Family emerged victorious, even seizing the opportunity to invade the J Family's stronghold. Although they didn't succeed in toppling the J Family, the damages were undeniably severe.

Not only did the Ryu Family act, but other second-rate families also had malicious ideas after hearing of Jin Zhengming's capture by the Ryu Family.

Hence, right after the Ryu Family troubled the J Family, these families came to loot, almost stripping the J Family of its centuries-long accumulation clean.

Though the J Family wasn't annihilated, it was basically removed from the ranks of second-rate families.

After the turmoil subsided, Jin Zhengming and Jin Zhengxi were returned to the J Family, but they no longer had the chance for a comeback, as their cultivation was destroyed, leaving them to live as ordinary people…

"Qin Fang, you must visit our Ryu Family this time... If it weren't for your help, our Ryu Family might have been uprooted..."

While Cui Zheming retreated empty-handed, Liu Xianhe swiftly invited Qin Fang to visit the Ryu Family after resolving the conflict.

The entire Ryu Family was extremely grateful to Qin Fang; many would have come to invite him together if not for Liu Xianhe holding them back.

Although the incident was a domestic Korean affair, many from various families had heard of Qin Fang, the young expert.

Many young experts in Korea clamored for a chance to challenge Qin Fang, but before they could boast, their family elders dragged them back for a stern reprimand.

The ability to defeat a Master-Level expert like Jin Zhengming, forcing someone like Cui Zheming to step back, couldn't possibly be easy?

Korea was never a prominent martial arts nation. Although they always boasted taekwondo as the world's top martial art, the real Korean experts never took taekwondo seriously.

Taekwondo is merely a form of cultural invasion by Korea; as a fighting technique, it's not worth mentioning…

Despite Liu Xianhe dedicating years to studying taekwondo, he still couldn't reach the master level; reportedly, only three people in all of Korea reached master level by practicing taekwondo.

The majority of master-level experts practiced swordsmanship...

Experts like Qin Fang are rare; regardless of how he defeated late Master-Level Jin Zhengming, it's something not achievable by common people.

Even the Ryu Family, having fought the J Family for so long, never achieved such feats. But Qin Fang's appearance resulted in pulling down the J Family's pillars, leading to their decline.

Many families sought to connect with Qin Fang, at least to build some ties, as it would bring a hundred benefits with no harm to their family.

But these families found no way in, leaving the Ryu Family with the initial advantage, yet other families still eyed jealously, constantly looking for opportunities.

The Ryu Family was naturally well aware of this situation; even Liu Xianhe had anticipated it long ago, hence repeatedly extending invitations to Qin Fang.

However, after this turmoil, Liu Xianhe extended an even warmer invitation, almost barging into Qin Fang's place, with a demeanor suggesting he wouldn't leave unless Qin Fang agreed.

"Alright, I promise. How about this, I'll send Feifei back to Seoul tomorrow and then immediately visit the Ryu Family..."

This time, Qin Fang didn't refuse anymore. These days of pushing back had achieved his aim, and there was no reason to keep putting it off, so he readily agreed. (To be continued.
