"Master, it was our fault. Your disciple is willing to accept punishment." Duan Yi was anxious. He genuinely wanted to become Ye Xingchen's disciple.
He gritted his teeth, channeled his inner strength, and stretched out his hands. With two sharp cracking sounds, his arms immediately fell limp.
He cut off both of his arms.
Ye Xingchen was startled; this silly disciple was indeed innocent in nature.
"Master, please forgive me this time. I will never do it again." Duan Yi was sweating profusely from the pain. He dragged the two broken walls and slammed his head heavily against the floor.
“Yi’er…” Duan Chenggui was heartbroken: “Mr. Ye, all the mistakes are mine. I will abandon my cultivation and beg you to forgive Duan Yi just this once.”
As Duan Chenggui spoke, he stretched out his right palm, about to strike his own Tanzhong point and thus destroy his cultivation.
Unexpectedly, when Ye Xingchen pointed out, Duan Chenggui's hidden strength vanished instantly, and his palm strike became weak and powerless.
"Fine, I'll let you off this time since you haven't committed any major offenses." Ye Xingchen stepped forward, grabbed Duan Yi's arm, and with a slight movement, snapped it.
Duan Yi's arm recovered, and Ye Xingchen said, "From today onwards, you will stay by my side and do some things for me. I will also teach you some things."
"Yes, thank you, Master." Duan Yi was overjoyed.
"Thank you, Mr. Ye." Duan Chenggui breathed a sigh of relief.
"And you, since you're related to me, Ye Xingchen, you can't be too weak." Ye Xingchen glanced at Duan Chenggui: "Your cultivation level is really nothing to brag about."
"Mr. Ye, my aptitude is average and my cultivation is limited." Duan Chenggui blushed.
Ye Xingchen remained silent. He raised three fingers of his right hand and lightly traced them in the air. Three hidden forces swept through the air and struck several major acupoints of Duan Chenggui.
With the five elements intermingling and true energy flowing into his head, Duan Chenggui felt a buzzing sound in his mind, and several streams of heat instantly flowed through his eight extraordinary meridians. In that instant, he also broke through the Ren and Du meridians.
He... has entered the Yellow Realm.
"From now on, the Duan family will work for me. If something like what happened today happens again, they will bear the consequences." Ye Xingchen finished speaking and disappeared.
"Grandpa, you've broken through... to the Yellow Realm?" Duan Yi asked in confusion.
"Yes, Mr. Ye just helped me open up my Ren and Du meridians, and I have broken through to the Yellow Realm." Duan Chenggui was extremely excited.
Forcibly infusing true qi into the head is something only someone at the Earth Realm can do. Ye Xingchen's strength appears to be at the Yellow Realm, but his true strength is unfathomable. The Duan family must cling to such a powerful figure.
"Brother Duan, what... what exactly happened?" Zhou Bingchen asked.
"Old Zhou, you almost got me killed." Duan Chenggui said with a resentful look, "This Mr. Ye is an extraordinary person. I risked my reputation to beg him to accept Duan Yi as his disciple. Whether our Duan family can rise up depends on him."
"Does he really have that much ability?" Zhou Miaoqing asked, her face full of disbelief.
"Believe it or not, his medical skills far surpass those of the Medical King Xue Changchun. If you want to avoid amputation, you'd better lower your stance. Alright, we'll take our leave now. Take care of yourself." Duan Chenggui shook his head and left with his grandson.
"Grandpa, I don't want to marry that mongrel." Zhou Miaoqing's eyes were slightly red.
“Right now, even if you want to marry him, he might not want you.” Zhou Bingchen said in a deep voice, “Ye Xingchen is not simple. If we can befriend him, it will be beneficial to our Zhou family.”
"Grandpa, are you getting senile? I've already contacted experts in Yanjing. There's definitely hope for your leg," Zhou Miaoqing said anxiously.
"My time is running out," Zhou Bingchen murmured to himself, stroking his legs, which had long since lost all feeling.
In a coffee shop, Yun Ruoyan handed the proposal to Ye Xingchen.
Yun Ruoyan is a genius in management; otherwise, she would not have been able to turn a company on the verge of bankruptcy into a net profit of 2 billion yuan within three years.
"This is Xingchen Group's five-year plan. You can take a look," Yun Ruoyan said.
Looking at the A4 paper that was half a foot thick, Ye Xingchen had a headache. He flipped through a few pages and said helplessly, "Just follow your format, you don't need to show it to me."
“You’re the boss, there are some things that need to be finalized by you.” Yun Ruoyan put down her coffee. “Do you want to just wash your hands of the business?”
“Yes, I want to be a hands-off manager. That way, I’ll provide the formulas for all the medicines, I’ll smooth things over, and I’ll handle anything that can’t be solved. But you’ll make all the company’s decisions,” Ye Xingchen said.
"Aren't you afraid of losing your say in the company in the end?" Yun Ruoyan couldn't help but ask.
She really didn't know what Ye Xingchen was thinking. The team was brought by her, and he just threw 500 million yuan at her to burn. Moreover, she had shares in the company. Wasn't he afraid that after she built up the company, he would kick her out as the boss?
"Don't worry, you're not that kind of person." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly. He looked at Yun Ruoyan's tired expression and knew that she probably hadn't slept at all these past few days while working on the proposal.
"Get some rest; staying up late ages you faster."
"If I don't work hard, wouldn't I be letting you down?" Yun Ruoyan smiled.
She left Cheng Jinpeng in a disheveled state, surrounded by many questioning and mocking glances. She needed to prove herself.
After discussing many details with Ye Xingchen, the two parted ways. Just as they were about to take a taxi back, Cheng Pengjin called.
"What else do you want?" Yun Ruoyan asked coldly. She had already severed all ties with Cheng Pengjin, but he seemed unwilling to give up.
"Ruoyan, my company can't hold on any longer. The cash flow is broken, production has stopped, and a large number of orders are facing default..." Cheng Pengjin's voice was hoarse: "If this continues, I will go bankrupt."
"This has nothing to do with me, right? Our engagement is off, and I've also stepped down as the company's vice president. What's the point of telling me all this?"
"Ruoyan, I know I was wrong. Please come back. I promise I'll only be good to you from now on. I can give you half of the company shares. I'm begging you."
Cheng Pengjin pleaded, "I have a lot of gambling debts, the company is now insolvent, and we are facing a lot of high default penalties. I really can't live without you."
"Don't bother me again in the future," Yun Ruoyan said, enunciating each word clearly.
"Are you really this heartless?" Cheng Pengjin's tone turned harsh: "Don't force me."
Yun Ruoyan slammed down the phone and hailed a taxi.
The taxi stopped, the driver in the driver's seat was wearing a hat pulled low, and there were two burly men sitting in the back.
Yun Ruoyan was startled. Realizing the danger, she instinctively turned and ran, but it was too late.
Two burly men got out of the car, grabbed her, and one of them covered her mouth, forcibly dragging her into a taxi.
The taxi sped away, leaving no trace at the scene.
"Qin Wu, help me find Cheng Pengjin." After Ning Qingyan informed Ye Xingchen of the incident, he immediately called Qin Wu.
