"Who are you going to stab? Stop thinking about fighting and killing. Use your brain. Come to me, I'll introduce you to a big shot, Zhang Yuan, the young master of Zhang City. If you latch onto his coattails, you'll enjoy endless benefits." A voice came from the other end of the phone.
As soon as I got back, Li Li came to my door; she had come to return the money.
After a few days apart, Li Li looked much more haggard, and her eyes were red and swollen, indicating that she had cried a lot.
She was amazed by Ye Xingchen's transformation. In just a few days, Ye Xingchen had acquired a 300-square-meter lakeside apartment in a high-end residential area.
Amidst her jealousy, she felt deep regret.
"Ye Xingchen, there's 400,000 in this card. I'll give it back to you. Please don't let Fifth Master cause us any trouble." Li Li's voice trembled, her usual arrogant attitude long gone.
These past few days, her whole family has been tormented by Qin Wu's men. Their house was splashed with paint, a dog was hanged at their door, and a group of burly men are staying at his house and blocking the hospital corridor.
Even her relatives were intimidated and condemned her.
Zhou An swindled all her money, and her father could no longer afford the hospital fees.
Left with no other choice, he had to sell his family home in his hometown to raise 400,000 yuan.
"After you return the money, they will naturally stop harassing you." Ye Xingchen accepted the bank card without ceremony.
Although he doesn't need the money now, he has to teach Li Li a lesson.
“Stars.” Li Li’s eyes were red.
"Is there anything else?" Ye Xingchen asked.
"I'm sorry, I know I was wrong, we..."
"If you're asking to get back together, then stop talking. It's impossible," Ye Xingchen said calmly.
“But I really know I was wrong. You’ve changed a lot these past few days, so…” Li Li pleaded.
“It is indeed quite large. Oh, by the way, I bought an antique for a few thousand yuan yesterday and sold it for 170 million. Seriously.” Ye Xingchen picked up the bank card on the table: “I don’t need your money.”
"Then...can I not pay it back?" Li Li's eyes lit up, and she put on a pitiful look: "This is the money I raised by selling my old house in my hometown. My father can't afford the hospital fees anymore."
"He could stop taking his medication at any time. You still have feelings for me, right? I..."
"Stop talking, it's impossible. Li Li, I advise you not to take any chances. I'm not the kind of person who repays evil with kindness."
Ye Xingchen sneered: "I'll donate this 400,000 yuan, even if it's just to feed beggars, but you have to pay it back."
"How could you be so heartless?" Li Li was almost in despair.
"When you swindled all my money and even tried to sell me to northern Myanmar to harvest my organs, weren't you heartless?" Ye Xingchen stood up and said coldly, "Get out of my sight right now, and don't let me see you again. Get out."
Li Li covered her face and ran out. She was filled with regret, but it was too late to regret it now.
As soon as Li Li left, Qin Wu called: "Mr. Ye, I've made an appointment with that enemy. We'll meet at Junshan Villa tonight at 9 pm."
"Okay, I'll be there on time," Ye Xingchen replied casually.
Qin Wu's enemy was a Yellow Realm expert who cleaved Ye Xingchen's lightning strike, which was enhanced with runes, into three pieces with a single palm strike. He wanted to meet the enemy and see who he really was.
It also represents the limit of one's own strength, determining which level one truly belongs to.
Night fell, and Ye Xingchen arrived at a villa halfway up a mountain right on time.
"Mr. Ye, you've arrived, please." Qin Wu bowed to greet him. It was an open-air banquet, and an elderly man in a long robe had already arrived.
Ye Xingchen glanced at the old man in surprise. He saw that the old man's eyes were bright, his temples were bulging, and his body was filled with internal energy. He was obviously a master of internal martial arts.
With a slight improvement in his strength, he officially entered the Yellow Realm.
"Let me introduce you. This is Mr. Duan, and this is Mr. Ye, whom I just mentioned," Qin Wu introduced the two.
The Duan family of Tianhai is a family of martial arts masters. Their ancestral Tongbei Quan (a style of Chinese martial arts) is characterized by its powerful and domineering movements.
Out of respect for the other party's seniority, Ye Xingchen nodded and said, "Hello, Elder Duan."
"Qin Wu, did you invite someone else tonight?" The old man glanced at Ye Xingchen sideways, his eyes full of disdain: "You don't trust me, Duan Chenggui?"
"This... Elder Duan, please don't misunderstand, that's not what I meant." Qin Wu was embarrassed; he couldn't afford to offend either of these two now.
“My Duan family has practiced martial arts for generations. Now, he is just a kid who has come back to seek revenge. Considering the friendship between your father and me, I have personally taken action.”
Duan Chenggui sneered: "Now you want to hire someone else? Do you think I'm too old and my fighting skills are no longer up to par?"
"Excuse my bluntness, but you're really not up to par." Ye Xingchen glanced at the old man. "Besides, you've been practicing martial arts for at least forty years, haven't you?"
"They haven't even reached the Yellow Realm in forty years. Their aptitude is truly terrible. Back then, the Duan family's ancestor's Tongbei Fist was so powerful that it almost reached the Heaven Realm. I never expected that his descendants would be so mediocre. I'm afraid the Duan family's martial arts lineage will be cut off."
"Insolence!" Duan Chenggui roared in fury. "My grandson, Duan Yitian, was born into the Yellow Realm. How dare you say that my Duan family has no one to rely on?"
"Those born at the Yellow Realm are indeed exceptionally talented, but their Heavenly Dao is more than sufficient. One must enter and exit in balance. Your grandson, perhaps, is born with a deficiency?" Ye Xingchen sneered.
"You..." Duan Chenggui's expression changed drastically. Yes, his grandson was born with the Yellow Realm, which he had always been proud of, but the only shortcoming was that his mind was not yet developed.
He is 16 years old this year, but has the mentality of an 8-year-old child. Is this the balance that Ye Xingchen talks about?
Just as he was about to ask more questions, a long laugh rang out, followed by a dark shadow swiftly streaking across the night sky.
Qin Wu felt a blur before his eyes, and a burly man had already appeared on the table.
This burly man was tall and had dark skin. His eyes shone brightly, indicating that he possessed extremely strong internal energy.
"Haha, Qin Wu, are you ready? I'm here today to take your dog's head." The big man laughed loudly.
“Yu Wu, I, Qin Wu, have always been a man of my word. Back then, your father was hunted down after stealing drugs from a drug lord, but I didn’t leak your whereabouts,” Qin Wu said angrily.
"Whether you betrayed me or not is no longer important. My Yu family had eight members, but because our whereabouts were exposed, I was the only one left." Yu Wu sneered, "I've kept this life and endured hardship for twenty years, just to take your dog's life."
"Heaven rewards those who persevere. I have achieved mastery of martial arts, and today is your death day."
"Arrogant! Today, with me, Duan, here, you can forget about acting tough and violent." Duan Chenggui snorted coldly and looked up at Yu Wu.
"Leave here now, and I'll spare your life. Now get out of here!"
"Duan Chenggui? This is none of your business today. If I were you, I wouldn't get involved in this mess." Yu Wu raised his head.
"I owe Qin Wu's father a favor, so I agreed to help him this time. If you remain obstinate, don't blame me for being ruthless," Duan Chenggui said arrogantly.
"Heh, this old codger who's practiced martial arts his whole life but never even reached the Yellow Realm, actually thinks he's something?" Yu Wu laughed.
"You bastard, you're asking for death." Duan Chenggui lost face. He prided himself on coming from a martial arts family and held a high position in the martial arts world.
However, due to his limited aptitude, he never broke through to the Yellow Realm in his entire life of martial arts practice, and what he hated most was people bringing this up.
