Wang Ying was also dumbfounded.

Although she was the daughter of a prince mansion and her family was quite wealthy, spending over a million on a meal was still beyond her means.

Wang Ying had heard about how expensive and luxurious this place was, but she had never been here before. Seeing it today was truly an eye-opener.

No wonder some people were willing to spend tens of millions on a meal; the joy of wealthy people is simply unimaginable.

"Ahem, beautiful lady, there are elderly and children here, let's remove some things," Ye Guichen finally felt uncomfortable.

Even if he wanted to embarrass Wang Ying, there should be a limit.

Joking aside, Wang Ying was still a young maiden. If he kept stepping on her bottom line, wouldn't she bite him to death later?

After removing those women, Ye Guichen and his group finally started eating.

However, the meal was eaten in silence.

Fang Yu buried his head, not saying a word, clearly replaying the recent events in his mind.

Mai Gu ate while observing Ye Guichen and Wang Ying, his eyes cunningly squinted into slits as if he had discovered some clues.

Ye Guichen stopped joking and spoke intermittently.

Wang Ying kept her head down, not speaking. She chewed every bite with all her might, as if trying to crush it to vent her anger.

Meanwhile, in the adjacent private room.

A similar group of people, but the atmosphere was entirely different.

The air was extremely lively.

Toasts were exchanged.

Beauties surrounded them.

Four or five men wore intoxicated expressions on their faces.

Among them was a man who appeared to be in his sixties, but his hair was meticulously combed, and even the beard on his chin was braided. His face was flushed, and he held a beauty on each side, enjoying every moment.

Someone offered him a toast: "Chairman Fang, it's truly an honor to have dinner with you today! I heard Medicine King Valley intends to accept you as a disciple, which is fantastic news. Come, Chairman Fang, let me toast you first."

The speaker was around fifty, had a square face, wore a long robe, and looked very flattering.

His name was Cao Xiu, the owner of a place called Jishi Hall in Jinling.

It was this Cao Xiu who was vying with Mai Gu for control over Tianhe Martial Arts Hall.

The man known as Chairman Fang was Fang Wushang, the chairman of the Jinling Chinese Medicine Association.

Fang Wushang took a sip of wine, smiling at Cao Xiu: "Brother Cao, don't worry. I've already sent people to shut down Tianhe Martial Arts Hall. Hmph, does that Mai guy really think his medical skills are enough to do as he pleases? Once I drive Mai out of Jinling, you can open your Jishi Hall there, and I'll recommend you to Medicine King Valley."

"Chairman Fang, thank you so much!" Cao Xiu said excitedly.

Medicine King Valley, the pinnacle of medical skills in Hua Country.

It's said that even a casual disciple from there is revered by the wealthy, holding a unique status.

Especially in recent years, Medicine King Valley has kept a low profile, but the demand for their services has only grown, with some willing to spend billions for their help.

If one could associate with Medicine King Valley, fame and status would naturally follow.

Like the chairman of the Hua Country Chinese Medicine Association, who is reportedly a disciple of Medicine King Valley.

Despite being the chairman of the Jinling Chinese Medicine Association, Fang Wushang still hadn't qualified to join Medicine King Valley.

This disparity is evident.

Fang Wushang was very satisfied with Cao Xiu's flattery, nodding slightly and promising the others present: "Everyone, you are all my friends. Once I become a disciple of Medicine King Valley, I will not treat you unfairly."

"Chairman Fang is so magnanimous!"

"We'll rely on Chairman Fang in the future!"

A wave of flattery followed.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Chairman Fang raised his head and squinted his eyes with a smile: "It must be the person who went to handle the matter."

He then had the door opened.

Soon, a man with a face swollen like a pig's head walked in.

He staggered, clearly still dizzy, and as soon as he entered, he struggled to open his swollen eyes, looking around before fixing his gaze on Fang Wushang. He rushed forward and knelt with a thud in front of Fang Wushang: "Chairman, you must stand up for me!"

Fang Wushang was startled, quickly standing up and stepping back, staring at the man in front of him with a strange look: "You... who are you?"

"I am Wang Qiang!" Wang Qiang cried: "I went to shut down Tianhe Martial Arts Hall for you, don't you recognize me?"

"Wang Qiang?" Fang Wushang was surprised, looking at Wang Qiang carefully and barely recognizing him, stammering: "What happened to your face?"

"Chairman Fang, I hit myself!" Wang Qiang exaggeratedly recounted the events.

After hearing the story, the private room fell silent.

Cao Xiu felt troubled, signaling the beauties to leave.

"Chairman Fang, why is Jinling Prince Mansion involved with Tianhe Martial Arts Hall?" Cao Xiu asked in confusion: "As far as I know, Jinling Prince Mansion has been at odds with Azure Dragon Commerce for years, they're too busy, and recently Azure Dragon Commerce reported that President Wang Xiong and his two sons were killed, even his youngest son Wang Tianxing nearly died, could there be something behind this?"

People like Cao Xiu naturally wouldn't know the internal affairs of Azure Dragon Commerce.

Fang Wushang frowned, looked at Wang Qiang, and signaled him to leave, leaving only Cao Xiu, and then spoke in a deep voice: "Brother Cao, do you know why I had you target Mai that old guy?"

Cao Xiu shook his head, listening intently.

Fang Wushang sighed and continued: "Because Mai Gu is from Shennong Sect, and Medicine King Valley has always been at odds with Shennong Sect. As far as I know, Shennong Sect has long since fallen, with only two old men left, but they still want to revive Shennong Sect. Medicine King Valley naturally doesn't want to see Shennong Sect rise again, so they gave me this order to suppress Mai Gu. If this matter is handled well, joining Medicine King Valley and becoming a disciple is no problem."

Cao Xiu understood.

But he was worried about Jinling Prince Mansion's involvement: "Chairman, isn't it troublesome that Jinling Prince Mansion is now involved?"

Fang Wushang thought for a long time before nodding: "Indeed, but if it's only Wang Ying's idea, it's not a big deal. The problem is if it's Wang Xiao's decision."

Cao Xiu asked: "So what are your plans, Chairman?"

"I must go to Jinling Prince Mansion immediately to ask Wang Xiao personally." Fang Wushang couldn't sit still, already heading out: "If this matter is truly Wang Xiao's intention, we must plan carefully. Otherwise, if it's just Wang Ying, I am not afraid!"
