"President Chen, you are the boss of Qiming Group, the richest man in Yanjing, and currently ranked number one on the list of richest people in China. What do you have to talk about with a little puppy like me?" Ye Xingchen glanced at him.
"Ye Xingchen." Li Tianqi smiled slightly: "Xia Jingyi's son, Han Yue's nephew, the founder of Xingchen Group, I have already figured out your background, so don't pretend in front of me."
"You figured it out so quickly?" Ye Xingchen smiled, not at all surprised: "After all, he's the richest man in Yanjing, his connections and background are exceptionally strong."
"The major events that have recently occurred in the Xia family have shocked the entire Yanjing. If I can't even investigate this little thing, then I'm afraid my position as the richest man in Yanjing will have to be taken by someone else." Li Tianqi smiled faintly.
“That’s right, I’m Ye Xingchen, and that was my aunt.” Ye Xingchen nodded. “You can tell too, my aunt doesn’t like you. Don’t bother her anymore.”
"She'll like me sooner or later," Li Tianqi was very confident in himself.
"Blind confidence." Ye Xingchen glanced at him. "Speak, what is it?"
"I want to invest in Xingchen Group," Li Tianqi stated his purpose directly.
"There were two people who tried to force their way into investing in Xingchen Group. One of them is now dead, and I slapped the other a few times in public. Do you want to be the third?" Ye Xingchen smiled slightly.
"The investment I'm talking about is a legitimate partnership, unlike their blatant robbery. You can name your price and make your own terms," Li Tianqi said earnestly.
“Although you are a shrewd person, the path you follow is the path of a ruler.” Ye Xingchen nodded: “This is also why your Qiming Group has been able to grow bigger and stronger, and has maintained its number one position in Yanjing for so many years. Because of the path of a ruler, even the heavens are on your side.”
"You also think I belong to the Way of the Sovereign?" A glint flashed in Li Tianqi's eyes as he seriously examined Ye Xingchen. His master, that otherworldly sage, had once said that he belonged to the Way of the Sovereign.
"It's obvious, not hard to see," Ye Xingchen said with a smile. "You can invest if you want, but not now. I'll contact you again when I've expanded into overseas markets."
"Wait a minute." Seeing Ye Xingchen about to leave, Li Tianqi reached out to stop him.
Just then, a figure flashed by, and a slender figure suddenly appeared. The person flicked a finger, and three faint whooshing sounds came as three black hidden weapons shot straight at the face.
Ye Xingchen flicked his hand, knocking away the opponent's hidden weapon. The opponent raised his right palm and made a gesture in the air, and a golden lotus suddenly appeared in his palm.
The golden lotus spun rapidly, followed by several whooshing sounds as countless hidden weapons enveloped Ye Xingchen.
"Three Thousand Towers, a Thousand Lotuses Appear Once?" Ye Xingchen's pupils suddenly contracted. He had almost wiped out the Three Thousand Towers, but he didn't expect that Li Tianqi would still have experts from the Three Thousand Towers by his side.
"Xiao Li, no!" Li Tianqi was startled, but it was too late when he reached out to stop her.
Suddenly, a dense cloud of dark energy condensed into a golden mist, which swept towards Ye Xingchen.
Ye Xingchen gestured with his right hand, let out a soft shout, and struck forward with his right palm, knocking down most of the hidden weapons. In a flash, he disappeared from the scene.
Then his figure suddenly appeared, reaching out and grabbing the assassin's neck.
"Ye Xingchen, show mercy, she meant no harm," Li Tianqi said urgently.
"Why are there people from the Three Thousand Towers around you?" Ye Xingchen stared at Li Tianqi with an unfriendly gaze.
He destroyed the Three Thousand Towers, but if you don't cut the weeds at the root, they will grow back in the spring breeze.
If the woman named Xiao Li in front of him has a special relationship with Sanqianlou, he must kill her.
“She was abandoned by the Three Thousand Towers. When I rescued her, she was covered in injuries. I took her everywhere to seek medical treatment, and it took a long time for her to recover. She was just trying to stop you in a moment of desperation,” Li Tianqi said.
The cold light in Ye Xingchen's eyes gradually disappeared, and he believed Li Tianqi's words.
"Alright, I'll trust you this once, since you're a decent person." Ye Xingchen released his grip on Xiao Li and then distanced himself from her.
Despite having reached the Celestial Realm, Ye Xingchen was still unwilling to provoke the assassins of the Three Thousand Towers, because once they set their sights on him, they were virtually omnipresent.
"Xiao Li, are you alright?" Chen Tianqi stepped forward and asked with concern.
Xiao Li shook her head and made a few hand gestures to indicate that she was fine.
"That's good. This is Ye Xingchen. He's a friend, not an enemy," Chen Tianqi said, pointing to Ye Xingchen.
Xiao Li glanced at Ye Xingchen, then nodded slightly and prepared to leave.
"She's been poisoned with a speech-deafening agent, hasn't she?" Ye Xingchen said. "Although this kind of poison won't kill you, it can damage your vocal cords and impair your voice after you take it."
Xiao Li stopped and turned around to look at Ye Xingchen in surprise.
“That’s right, she’s been poisoned with a mute toxin. Can you cure it?” Chen Tianqi’s heart stirred. He knew that Ye Xingchen was a divine doctor and might have a way to cure this kind of mute toxin.
“It can be cured.” Ye Xingchen casually wrote down a prescription: “Take it once in the morning and once in the evening for a week. It can cure the muteness poison, but since her vocal cords have been damaged for too long, her speech may be unnatural, but she will be able to speak.”
"Thank you." Chen Tianqi looked at Ye Xingchen gratefully, took the prescription, and carefully handed it to Xiao Li.
Xiao Li stared blankly at the prescription in her hand, then took it, clasped her hands in a fist salute to Ye Xingchen, and left.
Her expression remained cold, but the strong hostility in her eyes had subsided.
"Why did you help me?" Chen Tianqi asked after Xiao Li left.
“I’m not helping you, I’m helping her.” Ye Xingchen sighed. “She was ruined by the Three Thousand Tower, wasn’t she? There was a girl whose fate was the same as hers, but that girl was lucky to have met me, otherwise her fate would have been similar to hers.”
"She was tortured by the son of the Three Thousand Towers Master. When I met her, she was abandoned in the wilderness with several hungry wolves around her. She was severely injured and only had a dagger in her hand."
Chen Tianqi sighed softly: "With just this dagger, she dragged her injured body and confronted the hungry wolves for three days. Later, I rescued her and found many famous doctors to save her life."
"Your relationship with her is unusual," Ye Xingchen glanced at Chen Tianqi.
"Don't misunderstand, I only have eyes for your aunt." Chen Tianqi said seriously, "I am the richest man in Yanjing, and many people want to bring me down and take my place."
"But they couldn't bring me down, so they sent assassins to kill me. She took three knife wounds and five bullets for me with her body."
"A very good girl." Ye Xingchen nodded slightly. "Doesn't she want revenge?"
“I think about it every day, but the Three Thousand Towers are number one on the Jianghu assassin list, and... it seems they offended someone and were wiped out,” Chen Tianqi said.
