"Hehe, Brother Feng, this is what I think." Lv Liang rubbed his hands together, a fawning expression on his face. "As long as Ye Guichen dares to come tomorrow, we can ensure he makes a trip he won't return from."

He lowered his voice and leaned in to whisper into Feng Tianhai's ear for a good while.

The more Feng Tianhai listened, the brighter his eyes shone.

After listening, he slapped his thigh sharply, "Alright, Master Lu, I didn't expect your trick to kill two birds with one stone!"

"Hehe, Brother Feng, thank you. Without you, my martial arts hall might indeed be taken over by that kid surnamed Ye." As he spoke, Lv Liang took out a bank card from his pocket and stuffed it into Feng Tianhai's hand. "This isn't much, just one million. If it works out tomorrow, I'll thank you generously."

"Master Lu, you're too polite. We're like brothers, what's all this for!" Feng Tianhai grinned from ear to ear, pretended to push it away twice, then smoothly put the card into his own pocket. "Don't worry, the person coming tomorrow is a director of the Jinling Martial Arts Association and has a very close relationship with me. As long as you hand him twenty percent of the Martial Arts Association's earnings, I guarantee things will go smoother than you can imagine."

"Definitely, definitely!"

Lv Liang nodded repeatedly, but his heart bled.

Giving twenty percent of the earnings to that director.

Only a fool would refuse such a good deal.

But, without cutting flesh, how can revenge be achieved?

Ye Guichen's challenge was a fatal blow to Lv Liang's business.

Plus, there were rumors that King Yan wasn't doing well, and his relationship with Duan Nanye wasn't great. Without a strong backing, it was uncertain if Nandu Martial Arts Hall could continue operating.

So, in any case, the twenty percent earnings were still worth it when calculated.

Once joining the Martial Arts Association, if Ye Guichen dared to make a move again, it would be against the association.

By then, Lv Liang wouldn't need to do anything, Ye Guichen would be dead without even knowing how he died.

After leaving the martial arts hall, Ye Guichen naturally wouldn't worry about any tricks Lv Liang might play.

For Ye Guichen, now he had money, people, and power. What should he fear about Lv Liang?

If soldiers come, use generals to confront them; if water comes, use soil to contain it.

Ye Guichen had already planned it out. If Lv Liang handed over the martial arts hall obediently tomorrow, he wouldn't be short of fifty million. If he dared to play any tricks, he would make him regret it.

Of course, the fifty million was indeed somewhat bullying.

But Ye Guichen was the kind of person who clearly distinguished between gratitude and grievances.

When he first came to Jinling, if it weren't for Lv Liang's obstruction, he wouldn't have had to take so many detours before meeting King Yan.

And for this kind of fair-weather friend, Ye Guichen naturally had no good feelings and intended to take the opportunity to strike a blow.

After leaving the martial arts hall, Ye Guichen called Mai Gu, who said he was already handling procedures with Fang Yu.

The speed was truly impressive.

No sooner had he hung up than Wang Chaoyang called.

Although Ye Guichen saved Wang Xiao's life twice, he didn't want the Wang Family to always think of him.

The Jinling Prince Mansion was strong, but there were many places they couldn't reach.

Moreover, Ye Guichen wasn't someone who would never give in; if he counted on the Wang Family for everything because he saved Wang Xiao's life, the Prince Mansion might feel justified initially, but over time, they would surely harbor grudges.

Since Mai Gu planned to open Shennong Hall in Jinling, it was inevitable to deal with the Prince Mansion, and thus, their help would be needed.

So, when he answered the call, Ye Guichen was polite, "Brother Chaoyang, what's up?"

"Doctor Ye, why would you say that? Can't I call you for no reason?" Wang Chaoyang's good mood was evident, his voice loud and clear.

Ye Guichen chuckled, "Brother Chaoyang, no need to be so formal, just call me Brother Ye."

"Alright, alright! I'm thrilled. Then, I'll call you Brother Ye."

"As it should be, as it should be."

After exchanging more pleasantries, Wang Chaoyang casually asked, "I heard from Divine Doctor Mai that you're planning to open a Chinese Medicine Hall in Jinling. Is there anything I can help with?"

"No, no, thank you for your concern, Brother Chaoyang." Ye Guichen replied politely, "If there's a need, I won't hesitate to ask."

"Brother Ye, you're being too distant." Wang Chaoyang did not expect Ye Guichen to decline outright and seemed a bit taken aback, but he still probed, "Brother Ye, I heard Divine Doctor Mai has his eyes on Tianhe Martial Arts Hall, but the Chinese Medicine Association in Jinling seems to be competing with him. Should I talk to them to ease things?"

Ye Guichen hadn't expected Wang Chaoyang to be privy to information so quickly.

He had only just learned the details, yet Wang Chaoyang already knew.

Then again, considering the Wang Family's influence, it wasn't surprising they could gather such information easily.

Although knowing Wang Chaoyang wanted to repay him, Ye Guichen didn't want to use the Prince Mansion's favor so soon and responded, "Brother Chaoyang, no worries, the issue has been resolved."

"Resolved?" Wang Chaoyang was stunned, "How quickly! As far as I know, the Chinese Medicine Association here is a group of mediocrities, with mediocre medical skills and all sorts of petty dealings. Knowing Divine Doctor Mai's skills, they wouldn't let him enter the market easily."

Ye Guichen explained, "Yes, but it's truly settled. I handled it myself."

"Brother Ye, I sincerely want to help you, please don't refuse." Wang Chaoyang felt Ye Guichen was distancing himself, so he suggested, "How about I invest in Shennong Hall? That way, Shennong Hall will carry the Prince Mansion's mark, and the association would think twice before messing with you."

Ye Guichen realized what Wang Chaoyang was angling for.

After all, even Boss Mo had invited him to represent Dragon Teeth at the martial arts competition. If he made achievements then, Boss Mo would surely regard him highly.

By that time, it might be hard for Wang Chaoyang to curry favor with Ye Guichen.

Understanding this, Ye Guichen was even more reluctant to entangle with Wang Chaoyang.

If Wang Chaoyang got involved, he'd be tied to the Prince Mansion, stepping in whenever they faced trouble.

The thought itself was daunting.

"Really no need, Brother Chaoyang. I appreciate your kindness. I have some matters to attend to. Let's drink together soon!" Without minding Wang Chaoyang's repeated requests or his disappointed tone, Ye Guichen hung up and looked forward.

The crowded marketplace was bustling, with people coming and going.

However, standing among the crowd, just ten steps ahead, was a man in gray clothes.

The man's face was unremarkable, blending into the crowd.

But Ye Guichen noticed right away that the man was strong, very strong.

The man didn't try to hide, staring directly at Ye Guichen, eyes filled with provocation.
