Liu Qingmei glared at Ye Xingchen again. This guy knows it in his heart, so why does he have to say it out loud? Is he trying to make himself look smart or something?
"What, did I say something wrong?" Ye Xingchen felt a little uncomfortable after being looked at by her; there was a hint of resentment in her eyes.
"You're right, everything you said is correct. You're so smart." Liu Qingmei rolled her eyes at Ye Xingchen. "Let's go in."
Ye Xingchen chuckled and didn't say much, then followed her inside.
The top floor of the Seven Star Tower is a vast martial arts training hall.
A large drum was placed in the middle, and eighteen kinds of weapons were arranged on both sides, making it look extremely solemn.
Today, mediator Yu Chen has arrived. He is an old man in his eighties. In the eyes of ordinary people, he is quite capable, and he is indeed capable, surpassing even the celestial beings.
"Hehe, Lao Chang, you've arrived." As soon as he entered the room, an old man stood up.
The old man had white hair and beard, a face as handsome as jade, and a strong, resonant voice. He was none other than Yu Guanzhong, the head of a renowned martial arts family in the area.
He held an extremely high position in the black market, and his strength had reached the celestial level, making him unfathomable.
Generally speaking, experts at the Celestial Realm level are not people that ordinary people can come into contact with.
But Elder Chang's identity is not ordinary, and he had made many friends in his early years, and was very familiar with Yu Guanzhong, so this time, Elder Yu did not think twice and stepped forward directly.
"Haha, Lao Yu, long time no see! I feel like you're getting younger and younger!" Old Chang laughed heartily. The two old men walked together, shook hands tightly, and then gave each other a bear hug.
Ye Xingchen smiled. These two old men were quite interesting. Despite their advanced age, they still carried a strong sense of江湖 (jianghu, the martial arts world) in their actions.
“That’s right. At my age, I don’t have many people left to contact. I have less than ten people on WeChat, and you’re one of them.” Yu Guanzhong laughed and said to Old Chang, “You better remember this: you absolutely cannot go before me, or I’ll dig up your grave.”
"Don't worry, I won't get ahead of you. I'm all better now, so I just came over today to take care of some old problems," Old Chang said with a smile.
The two old men sat down and chatted about everyday things.
Yu Guanzhong's gaze fell on Liu Qingmei, and he laughed, "This is Qingmei, right? You've grown so much! You two must have been classmates with my grandson Yu Changhe, right? You two should meet sometime, haha."
"Mr. Yu, I'm entrusting my grandfather's matter to you. I haven't been in contact with Changhe for many years." Liu Qingmei smiled faintly, her words perfectly tactful. She neither said she would see him nor that she would not, thus keeping him hanging on.
“Alright, haha, I’ll call him out later. This kid has been focusing on martial arts all these years and has achieved quite a bit.” Yu Guanzhong nodded: “You two are quite a good match.”
Liu Qingmei's expression stiffened slightly. She had been wondering why the old man was mentioning his grandson so intentionally or unintentionally. Now she realized that he was trying to match her up with Yu Changhe.
To be honest, she didn't have a good impression of Yu Changhe. That bastard raped his English teacher back in high school, and then the Yu family stepped in to help him get away with it.
Even if she didn't have Liu Sanqing, she wouldn't want to have any further interaction with him.
After all, his character is questionable, and as a senior figure in the martial arts world, Yu Guanzhong dotes on his grandson too much. After the incident, instead of strictly disciplining his grandson, he stood up for him and suppressed ordinary people. Judging from this incident, the other party's family values are not good either.
"Haha, Lao Yu, let's deal with the Chang family's matter first today. That kid Zhou Zhong, his grandfather once fought me for territory."
Old Chang smiled and said, "Later, because of his defeat, he left China and went overseas. We also made an agreement that he would never set foot in China again in his lifetime."
"But when Old Zhou got into a dispute with someone in Chinatown overseas, he lost. All seven members of his family, except for his grandson Zhou Zhong, were burned to death. This debt cannot be attributed to me, can it?"
“This debt can’t be attributed to you, of course. Zhou Zhong has now mastered martial arts and learned some strange skills from somewhere. He now controls Chinatown in California. He’s taken his revenge and is now coming back to find you.” Yu Guanzhong sneered, “But don’t worry, this kid can’t cause much trouble.”
"I'd like to see what he's trying to do with all that evil and heretical cultivation he's acquired."
"Hehe, alright, then I'll leave today's matter to you." Old Chang nodded with a smile: "I'm an old man, and I'm entrusting my life to you."
"Don't worry, because of your trust, I will help you solve the problem." Yu Guanzhong chuckled and said, "Heavenly Slayer of Evil, I have never heard of it in all my years. I would like to see it for myself today."
"If it really is the Heavenly Slash Demon, then we need to be careful." Ye Xingchen's heart stirred. He had heard of this thing; it was said to be an extremely vicious evil technique.
The founder, the Heavenly Slash Elder, caused a sensation in the martial arts world as soon as this evil skill was created, and everyone was in danger.
Because the evil technique was too vicious, the masters of several major sects joined forces to kill the Heavenly Slash Elder, and the evil technique disappeared.
But who could have imagined that this evil art would suddenly reappear? It is said that this demonic art can control people's hearts and use corpse poison as a catalyst to cultivate a pair of palms full of poisonous power.
Moreover, those who are hit will be poisoned. When poisoned, their blood becomes stiff and their bones dry up. They die with a smile on their face, which is very sinister.
"Who are you?" Yu Guanzhong frowned and turned to look at Ye Xingchen with some displeasure.
"Hehe, let me introduce you. This is Xiao Ye, my granddaughter's friend. He knows traditional Chinese medicine, and his medical skills are exceptional. I was able to be cured of my strange illness thanks to him," Old Chang said with a smile.
"Hmph, young man, you're ignorant. I won't bother with you. What's there to be careful about? My strength is approaching the Celestial Phenomenon level. Do you think I'd be afraid of that kid's evil skills?" Yu Guanzhong was quite displeased. "Since I dared to take on this mediation, I will definitely handle things perfectly."
"I was overthinking it. Old Master Yu can definitely handle it." Ye Xingchen laughed, secretly cursing the idiot.
This old man's strength is barely at the Celestial Phenomenon level, which is naturally at the ceiling level in the eyes of ordinary people, but he knows his own level very well.
Such a person is pitiful. He has one foot in the coffin and is only just reaching the threshold of celestial phenomena. Even so, he still acts like a petty person who has achieved success.
How could Yu Guanzhong not hear the sarcasm in Ye Xingchen's words? He squinted at Ye Xingchen and asked, "Old Chang, what's this kid's background? Why do I feel so uncomfortable listening to him talk?"
