"Farewell? You're leaving?" Ye Xingchen was slightly taken aback.
"I'm leaving now." Bai Zilin smiled mysteriously. "Don't worry about me, I'll take good care of myself."
"I have already sent Jiu Li back to Yanjing, so there is no need to worry about her."
Ye Xingchen looked at her with a complicated expression; Bai Zilin seemed to have matured a lot overnight.
"Judging from your expression, you're reluctant to part with me?" Bai Zilin smiled casually when she saw that Ye Xingchen remained silent.
“I can’t bear to part with you. Don’t go. Stay in Prison Mountain and wait until I’ve settled things in Jinluo City before we go back to Yanjing together,” Ye Xingchen said.
"And then? Go to my house to propose marriage?" Bai Zilin asked playfully.
"..." Ye Xingchen was speechless.
"Just kidding, look how scared you are." Bai Zilin glanced at him, a hint of resentment in her eyes: "Don't worry, I won't force you to go, but this time, I've found my direction, and I have my own things to do."
"But this time, I'm not doing it for anyone..."
Bai Zilin gave Ye Xingchen a deep look, then turned and left.
Ye Xingchen felt a strange stirring in his heart. He had an urge to call out to Bai Zilin, but he watched her disappear before his eyes and ultimately didn't say it.
Because he really couldn't promise her anything, and even if he wanted to, he had to wait until he had resolved this major issue before making any promises.
After leaving the base, Ye Xingchen observed the facilities with Wang Jin. During this time, Wang Jin went to answer a phone call and then found Ye Xingchen and said, "Ye Xingchen, someone wants to see you."
"Who is it?" Ye Xingchen glanced at Wang Jin in surprise. Since Wang Jin relayed the message to him, they must have found him through Xuan Yu Pavilion.
Since they were able to reach him through the Xuan Yu Pavilion, their identity must be extraordinary.
“Second Master Liang.” Wang Jin’s expression was serious.
"The Liang family of Jinling, Liang Chenghu?" Ye Xingchen's gaze deepened: "What is his relationship with your Xuanyu Pavilion?"
"It has nothing to do with our Xuan Yu Pavilion. On the contrary, because he has some background with the Holy Curtain of the High Seas, our Xuan Yu Pavilion has been keeping an eye on him."
Wang Jin said, "Moreover, Liang Chengji of the Liang family in Jinling is in charge of the largest family in Jinling. In Xuanyu Pavilion, they are a group of people who receive a lot of attention."
Ye Xingchen understood what Wang Jin meant. In China, top-tier wealthy families would always attract attention.
Firstly, these families wield considerable influence, and there is a fear that they might be misled by the money and power they hold, and do things that harm the interests of the nation.
Secondly, some of these families obtained their money through shady means.
The Liang family of Jinling is one of them. It is the largest family in Jinling, and Liang Chenghu's background is not clean. These two brothers can be said to be an ironclad unit in Jinling.
“He contacted us through connections, saying he wanted to meet you,” Wang Jin said.
"Is it related to the matter in Jinluo City?" Ye Xingchen's expression darkened slightly.
“They are probably related.” Wang Jin nodded. “Liang Chenghu and Jin Luocheng have an ambiguous relationship.”
"It seems he's here for Jin Xiang. He wants me to release Jin Xiang?" Ye Xingchen smiled. Was the Liang family of Jinling going to get involved in this matter?
"It's hard to draw conclusions without seeing him," Wang Jin said thoughtfully. "But judging from his relationship with Jin Luocheng, he's probably here because of Jin Xiang's matter."
"Let's meet him first," Ye Xingchen said calmly. "Jin Xiang's matter is not negotiable. If the Liang family of Jinling thinks they can handle it, then let them feel free to get involved."
Wang Jin nodded, and he and Ye Xingchen walked out together. They saw a Phantom parked outside the base. On the side of the car, a parasol was set up, and a bald man in his forties was sitting under the parasol.
He had a cigar in his mouth and a glass of red wine in his hand.
Just as Ye Xingchen was about to step forward, two bodyguards in black uniforms stepped forward and blocked his way.
"Your boss wants to see me." Ye Xingchen pointed at Liang Chenghu.
"You need to be searched before you can go over." A bodyguard stared at Ye Xingchen, his gaze icy, like a venomous snake.
Ye Xingchen glanced at Liang Chenghu, said nothing, and turned to leave.
"Halt!" The bodyguard roared in anger. "Did Second Master say you could leave?"
"Make this clear, he wants to see me, not the other way around. If he insists on putting on airs in front of me, I'm not going to put up with it anymore." Ye Xingchen sneered and turned to leave.
The guard remained silent, then slashed out with his right hand, sending a palm strike towards Ye Xingchen. The punch was gentle, yet powerful.
Tai Chi Cloud Hands, Sticky Word Technique.
Ye Xingchen glanced at the bodyguard, then threw a punch to meet the bodyguard's Cloud Hand attack. With a gentle pull, an extremely strong force surged from his palm and struck the bodyguard.
Tai Chi uses the opponent's force against them, using minimal force to deflect a great weight. Even if the opponent's internal strength isn't too strong, it's still powerful. No matter how much force you throw at them, they can neutralize it and even return some of it.
This guy stuck to Ye Xingchen's hand, then pulled it back in mid-air, trying to transfer Ye Xingchen's force to him before retaliating.
However, a tremendous force came from Ye Xingchen's palm, which immediately made him pause.
He was startled, looked up at Ye Xingchen, then held his breath and focused his mind. His right fist clenched, and wisps of white energy appeared on his fist, wrapping Ye Xingchen's energy like a cocoon.
The power of coiling silk!
In Tai Chi, a move that can subdue an enemy involves internal energy that can wrap around the opponent's energy like spider silk, preventing them from releasing it.
However, just as his coiling energy was condensing, Ye Xingchen flicked two fingers of his right hand, and with a snap, the condensed energy, which resembled spider silk, suddenly broke.
*Pfft...* The bodyguard spat out a mouthful of blood. He staggered back a few steps, his face turning deathly pale. In an instant, the true energy within his body was like a river that had stopped flowing, and he could no longer gather it.
One bodyguard was repelled, and then six more people rushed out and surrounded Ye Xingchen.
Ye Xingchen suddenly raised his true energy, and the powerful energy locked onto the six bodyguards in front of him, sending a wave of mental impact over.
The six bodyguards turned pale instantly, and those with weaker skills even bled from their faces. They stared at Ye Xingchen in shock, and for a moment no one dared to step forward.
"Get this straight, this is the Prison Mountain Base. If you want to cause trouble, you'd better consider your own strength and how many heads you have on your neck." Ye Xingchen glanced coldly at Liang Chenghu.
"Hahaha." Liang Chenghu slowly stood up, put down his wine glass, and then flicked out his cigar: "Mr. Ye, I am Liang Chenghu from Jinling, and I am known in the martial arts world as Second Master Liang."
