Shiori Aya sighed, seeing her daughter continue to be gloomy. She then sat next to her and embraced her. “I know that you want to dual cultivate with Chen Li, but your father and his spies are constantly watching us, and he seems to have started to suspect you after he examined your body.”
“I know.” Mayumi Keiko also realized that before. Although the chip was still in her hand, it was no longer in her body, so she wouldn’t be surprised if her father suspected her. “Sigh, my cultivation is lagging behind Xian’er and the others right now, for the pill that Chen Li swallowed is very beneficial to us, but I can’t join them.”
“Are you worried that he will abandon you because of that?” Mayumi Keiko nodded to her mother, especially since Chen Li’s women were quite a lot. “Since you’ve chosen him to be your husband, you should trust him more. Even though I don’t know him that well, I can see that he’s not that kind of man, so you don’t need to be afraid of that.”
Mayumi Keiko sighed softly. “You’re right, Mother. I do have to trust Chen Li more; I’m sure he won’t abandon me, even if my cultivation lags behind theirs.”

Meanwhile, after they exited from seclusion, Chen Wei’er and Xiao Xianglin went straight to see Xuanyuan Wan’er and the members of Long Feng Pavilion. They had been standing around the Black Tortoise Gang’s headquarters, especially since this was the last day that Chen Li had given them to take over the gang.
However, the two women were shocked at their appearance, especially since they looked shabby, and their bodies were also covered in bruises, including Yan Qiu, Lu Zhe, the Meng Twins, and Duan Yiren.
“Why haven’t you guys taken over this gang yet?” Xiao Xianglin asked them. ｂｏ𝚟𝚕.
Yan Qiu answered her directly. “Previously, we felt that we weren’t ready to do so, so we decided to train under Big Sis Wan’er’s guidance for the past three days.”
“But we’re ready to do it now, so we’re taking this gang right away.” Lu Zhe also answered her.
Xuanyuan Wan’er nodded and told them. “Although Brother Chen has given them good techniques, most of them are still unskilled. If they directly confront this gang, they will definitely be overwhelmed to fight them.”
The two women nodded in understanding, and Chen Wei’er said. “That actually doesn’t matter; instead of them forcing themselves, it would be better if they were completely prepared.”
“Are you two also coming with us?” Yan Qiu asked them.
Chen Wei’er and Xiao Xianglin nodded at them. “You guys don’t have much time left since Li’er will finish his seclusion soon, so we will help you to take over this gang, or else he will punish all of you later.”
“Anyway, how was your meeting with Nan Wei yesterday?” Xiao Xianglin asked Yan Qiu.
Yan Qiu shrugged her shoulders at that. “Nan Wei wanted the three remaining gangs to merge with his Kylin Gang, but we refused his request. Although he was angry with our decision, he also didn’t dare do anything to us and chose to back off. However, if he finds out that we are taking over the Black Tortoise Gang, I’m sure he’ll definitely move against us, for he can’t possibly allow his reign of the underworld to be disturbed.”
“You don’t need to mind Nan Wei; I’m sure he would think twice about attacking us if he knew that the three of us were behind you.” Chen Wei’er spoke confidently.
Yan Qiu and Lu Zhe nodded and laughed after hearing that. After all, Chen Wei’er and Xiao Xianglin were the former heads of the superpower bureau, and they were strong. Plus, Xuanyuan Wan’er was also by their side, and she was much stronger than the two of them.
“Let’s go in now.” Xuanyuan Wan’er said as she casually walked towards the Black Tortoise Gang’s headquarters, and they immediately followed behind her.

“Boss He! This is really bad!” A man ran into a room as he shouted at two men playing Chinese chess, causing them to frown.
“Why are you so panicked, Pan Wu? Did you see a ghost?” He Gui asked one of his men.
Pan Wu shook his head at him. “I didn’t see any ghosts, but I saw people scarier than ghosts, and they’re all surrounding us now.”
“What?” He Gui shouted as he rose from his seat, and the man in front of him also frowned upon hearing that. “What exactly happened? Who are those people? Why did they surround us?”
“They are Lu Zhe and Yan Qiu, and they brought their entire gang to surround us.” His answer shocked the two men, especially regarding the former members of the Green Dragon Gang, but Pan Wu’s next words shocked them even more. “Besides, there were three women with them, but I only recognized the identities of two of them, and they were Chen Wei’er and Xiao Xianglin.”
“What did you just say? Xiao Xianglin and Chen Wei’er came here?” The two men asked as they screamed in shock, and Pan Wu nodded repeatedly at them.
He Gui turned to the other man and asked him. “What do you think about this matter, Brother Yan?”
“No wonder Yan Qiu turned down Nan Wei’s request to join him; she actually brought her Vermilon Gang to join the Green Dragon Gang, especially after Lu Zhe and the others had disappeared for a few days, and no one could find any trace of them.” He Yan answered his brother’s question as he sighed softly. “However, I’m sure that their leaders are actually Chen Wei’er and Xiao Xianglin, but I can’t understand their intention of merging the two gangs. Even though we have many superpower possessors under us, we can never defeat them, and we also don’t know about the identity of the third woman and her superpower.”
“Are we going to meet them?” He Gui asked with a frown.
He Yan sighed and nodded. “Since they have already come to our base, it would be best if we go meet them now, and we can find out their intentions once we talk to them.”
“All right, let’s meet them.” He Gui replied as he walked out, and He Yan immediately followed his brother as he wondered in his heart.
.

Upon their arrival at the main hall, He Yan was immediately shocked as soon as he recognized Xuanyuan Wan’er’s identity. ‘Fuck! Why was this sadistic woman also with them? At this rate, our chances of facing them are nil; she has even crippled Qin Feng for the rest of his life.’
Unlike his brother, He Gui did not recognize Xuanyuan Wan’er’s identity, so he sat down in front of them and asked them with an angry look. “What is your purpose in coming here? Why did you surround us with so many people?”
‘Sigh, my brother is really ignorant.’ He Yan then said to her. “Miss Xuanyuan, please don’t take my brother’s attitude to heart, and I hope you won’t be offended by him.”
Hearing that, He Gui turned to his brother with a questioning look; he didn’t understand why he was being so polite to Xuanyuan Wan’er, but He Yan shook his head at him.
Xuanyuan Wan’er didn’t say anything and just nodded at him, for she was actually not as ruthless as people thought.
He Yuan then said to them. “I don’t know why you guys suddenly did this, so please tell us the reason for your coming to our base.”
“He Yan, you understand matters much more than your brother.” Xiao Xianglin replied to him. “I will not mince words with you; we have come here to invite you to join us at the Long Feng Pavilion.”
“What! We-”
He Yan directly stopped He Gui and asked Xiao Xianglin back. “Long Feng Pavilion? How come I never heard of it?”
“Honestly, someone founded the Long Feng Pavilion, and he wants to unite the underworld.” The He brothers were shocked to hear that, and Chen Wei’er spoke to them again. “You certainly know that we have the ability to force you to join us, right? However, we don’t want you to join us by force, so we came to have a good talk with you.”
“Who is the leader of the Long Feng Pavilion? I feel that his ambition to unify the underworld is too big, and Nan Wei definitely won’t allow that to happen.” He Yan calmly replied to Chen Wei’er.
“I won’t reveal the identity of our leader for now, and you will definitely meet him if you join us.” Chen Wei’er answered as she shook her head. “You might think that his ambition is too big, but having the three of us by his side makes it small, right?”
He Yan couldn’t dispute Chen Wei’er’s assertions, especially given that he was aware that the three of them were much stronger than Nan Wei, but the sudden appearance of the Long Feng Pavilion perplexed him nonetheless.
Seeing his expression like that, Xiao Xianglin spoke again. “You don’t need to be confused about us, and we actually just want to change the situation in this city, especially since those prominent families have always been arbitrary, and many victims have fallen because of them.”
He Yan nodded in agreement with that, for he too was fed up with the behavior of those prominent families. “Please elaborate on your leader’s plans with me first.”
