Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Wu Xiangming raised his head and looked at Wu Qiyuan and sighed deeply.
A few seconds later, he clenched his fists and made up his mind. He said to Wu Qiyuan, “Although 1 am no longer a member of the Wu family, 1 still have a few words to say.”
“The biggest reason why the Wu family has declined from its heyday to its present state is because of the family head. You guys didn’t grasp the countless opportunities that came our way to develop and grow.”
“Also, I may be Mr. Ye’s dog now, but in the future, I’m sure that you will definitely beg me to come back!”
Wu Xiangming’s words somewhat belittled himself, however, he knew that this was his opportunity. He had to stay by Ye Chen’s side!
That being said, he still felt saddened, because he was the first person to be expelled from the Wu family in a thousand years!
He was destined to become the laughingstock of the martial arts world in Jiangnan Province.
However, he did not regret following Ye Chen!
He did not regret leaving the Wu Family!
He wanted to bet his future on Ye Chen!
There was no way he would lose this bet!
Hearing Wu Xiangming’s words, all of the members of the Wu family laughed out loud.
Only Wu Xinlan remained silent, as she stared at Ye Chen seriously.
The situation had turned out like this, yet she could not sense any inferiority, fear, or pretentiousness from Ye Chen. On the contrary, Wu Xinlan felt that he disdained the Wu family, and that they were not worth his time.
Somehow, she felt that they might have made a mistake.
Wu Cheng, who was beside her, laughed the loudest. He pointed at Wu Xiangming’s nose and said, “Wu Xiangming, even if Huaxia is destroyed, the Wu family will never beg you to come back!”
“Get lost!”
Ye Chen glanced at Wu Xiangming and shook his head helplessly.
Then, he turned around and said, “Let’s go.””
Originally, because of Wu Xiangming, he wanted to help the Wu Family.
Now, it seemed that they had become enemies. Still, it did not faze him. Some friends were not worth making.
“Yes, Mr. Ye.” Wu Xiangming nodded and followed behind Ye Chen.
At this moment, a hearty voice was heard from the courtyard. “Wu family head, you have my apologies. I was delayed by some matters.”
Hearing this voice, Wu Qiyuan’s face lit up. He quickly stood up and walked towards the door.
The guest he invited had finally arrived!
Although Wu Xiangming had been expelled from the Wu family, the conflict between the Qin family and the Wu family still existed.
Right now, they needed someone to step forward and mediate.
In Jiangnan Province, which faction was most qualified to do so?
Naturally, it was the Jiangnan Province Martial Arts Association!
Moreover, the Qin family also had people in the Jiangnan Province Martial Arts Association.
Of course, he could not invite Tang Ao, but he was still qualified to invite one of their vice presidents.
This time, the Wu family had invited Ma Wei Qi.
Although Ma Wei Qi was weaker than Wu Qiyuan, he had the right to speak on behalf of the Jiangnan Province Martial Arts Association!
Soon, a gray-haired old man appeared in everyone’s sight.
“Haha, Old Ma, I’ve been waiting for you. You’re finally here.”
Wu Qiyuan smiled and extended his hand.
According to the script, the two of them would definitely shake hands warmly before going to the hall to discuss matters.
However, when Ma Wei Qi saw who else was at the door, he was stunned.
His entire body was petrified, and he even ignored Wu Qiyuan’s outstretched hand.
His eyes were fixed on Ye Chen, who was about to leave.
His lips trembled slightly, and there was a hint of fear in his eyes.
Wu Qiyuan felt that something was wrong and withdrew his hand awkwardly. Just as he was about to speak, Ma Wei Qi moved.
He took three steps and arrived in front of Ye Chen.
He bowed slightly and said respectfully, “Mr. Ye, why are you here?”
Huh?
Mr. Ye?
With Ma Wei Qi’s status, he actually addressed Ye Chen as Mr. Ye?
Did Ye Chen not kill Yuan Jingfu, who was one of the Jiangnan Province Martial Arts Association’s vice presidents?
Why would they be on friendly terms?
This was too strange. The atmosphere had taken an awkward turn.
Wu Qiyuan’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Wu Cheng swallowed his saliva and rubbed his eyes, wondering if he was dreaming.
Even Wu Xiangming was stunned.
In fact, even Ye Chen was a little surprised. He had not expected to bump into Ma Wei Qi here.
Still, it mattered not.
Ye Chen ignored Ma Wei Qi and left the villa.
It was as if Ma Wei Qi was non-existent!
How many forces in Jiangnan Province wanted to curry favor with Elder Ma, but this kid actually displayed such an attitude?
However, the strange thing was that Ma Wei Qi was not exhibiting any anger at all.
A few seconds after Ye Chen and Wu Xiangming left, Ma Wei Qi asked, “Why did Mr. Ye come here?”
It was Mr. Ye again!
If there was a chance that it was a slip of the tongue the first time, then hearing it a second time meant that the form of respectful address was intentional!
Wu Qiyuan’s expression turned strange, and he could only say, “No… It’s nothing.”
Ma Wei Qi narrowed his eyes as if he had thought of something, but he did not point it out and walked straight to the hall.
Wu Qiyuan looked at Ma Wei Qi’s back and fell into a state of deep thought.
Could it be that Ye Chen really had some tricks up his sleeve?
Mr. Ye?
In the world of martial arts, there were only two kinds of people who were qualified to be addressed with such respect.
The first was if the person was the top person in a certain field!
The other was if the person was so strong that it brooked no argument!
“It seems that we still have to investigate Ye Chen’s background,” Wu Qiyuan muttered.
In the Mercedes-Benz, Ye Chen looked at Wu Xiangming with interest and asked, “Now that you have left the Wu family, what are your plans for the future?”
“I’m free now, so I’ll follow Mr. Ye’s arrangements,” Wu Xiangming said seriously.
“Alright.” Ye Chen nodded. “From now on, you’ll stay by my side and listen to my orders!”
With that, Ye Chen took out ten pills and a small booklet and handed them to Wu Xiangming.
“Since you chose me without any hesitation, I will naturally make sure that the Wu family can’t touch you!”
“First, take one of these ten pills every three days. Your cultivation speed will increase by at least three times.”
“Second, this technique is my gift to you. From now on, throw away all of the trash martial arts you’ve practiced previously and cultivate this technique!”
“Thirdly, 1 promise you that within a month, the Wu family will lower their heads and beg for your protection!”
