During all these years, the business channels between Leizhou City and Tiandao City had been dominated by the Liu n and the Wang n. All of the smaller ns wanted to have a good rtionship with them.


    Thus, when the Ye n treated everyone else as equals, the gave the smaller ns a special kind of friendly feeling. Ye Zifeng’s speech about how the Ye n’s prosperity will be everyone else’s prosperity was a great bargaining chip for everyone.


    This time, the Ye n was like a dark horse that appeared out of nowhere and fiercely struck the Liu n and the Wang n.


    “What? The Ye n was able to rope in half of the other ns as their ally?” Wang Ruoxing was unconvinced by the news and looked at his older brother.


    Not even the flourishing Wang n has so many allies. How could the fallen Ye n rope in so many people?


    Wang Tianzhi thought about it and then asked, “Did Liu Xingjian failed? How could this be? He definitely told me that he had seeded in poisoning Ye Chongtian!”


    “Young master, Liu Xingjian did indeed seed. Ye Chongtian was lying down on his bed. The one who dealt with everything was Ye Zifeng!”


    Wang Ruoxing was shocked, “What? Ye Zifeng? He’s someone from the younger generation. How can he rope in all these businessmen from the senior generation?”


    “It is true…..”


    The messenger didn’t know how to exin either. He was only watching outside the Ye n territory and didn’t enter with everyone else. When he saw how everyone came out with a satisfied look on their face, he deduced that Ye Zifeng had done his job and persuaded everyone.


    Hearing this, Wang Tianzhi started to think to himself. He thought that Ye Zifeng won the Heavenly n Gathering by fluke. However, this time, he was able to persuade so many seniors into allying with his Ye n. This was definitely not by fluke.


    “This Ye Zifeng is not simple at all. He is a threat to our Wang n.”


    Wang Ruoxing knew what his big brother was thinking about and murderous look appeared on his face.


    “Big bro, how about we……” He lifted one finger and ran it across his neck as if he was cutting it.


    Wang Tianzhi thought about it and then shook his head, “Not right now. He’s very hot right now. If we go overboard, the Ye n will definitely retaliate. We’ve already plot against Ye Chongtian once. This time, he will be more careful. If he goes crazy, no one will be able to stop him.”


    Wang Lin coldly snorted, “I don’t care. Big bro, Big sis, we can’t let him go like this. He’ll just continue to grow and be a thorn on our sides. Even if we don’t kill him, we have to cripple him.”


    Wang Ruoxing nodded. He was the closest one to Wang Lin and cared for him the most. After learning about how Wang Lin was bullied by Ye Zifeng, he had been trying to find a way to get back at him.


    “That’s right big bro, I agree with lil bro. Even if we don’t kill him, we have to stop him from bing dangerous. We’ll have to fight sooner orter, so why not do it now. We can’t wait until it’s toote.


    Wang Lin and Wang Ruoxing were both waiting for Wang Tianzhi’s reply. However, Wang Tianzhi was warned by Elder Shen already and didn’t want to trouble Ye Zifeng for the next year.


    “We’ll talk about thister. You guys heard what Elder Shen saidst time right? To protect Ye Zifeng like this….. He must have his own reasons. We shouldn’t be so hot headed.”


    Wang Mengxi nodded, “I agree with big bro.”


    “Alright. I understand then.”


    Wang Lin sighed. He then turned towards Wang Ruoxing and exchanged nces with him. The two of them then left together.


    As Wang Lin walked out, he groaned with displeasure, “Second bro, I don’t understand. Our Wang n can easily squish Ye Zifeng. Why aren’t we doing so? Big bro isn’t like how he was before. It’s only a warning from an elder, he doesn’t have to be so scared.”


    Wang Ruoxing looked around and when he saw that no one was around he coldlyughed, “From what lil bro is saying, even if big bro doesn’t agree, you won’t let Ye Zifeng go?”


    “Second bro, you’re willing to help me?”


    Wang Ruoxingughed, “Little bro, ever since we were little, we’ve being doing bad things behind big bro’s back. Do you think I’ll leave you hanging this time around?”


    “Really? That’s great second bro. You’re at the 8th stage of qi refining. If you’re willing to make moves, then this Ye Zifeng will definitely not live to see another day!” Wang Linughed very loudly.


    Wang Ruoxing shook his head, “Maybe. Ye Zifeng was able to beat that Liu Bingqian who is at the peak of qi refining. He must have some special moves up his sleeves. I feel like we should mount a sneak attack against him!”


    “However, we need to wait for a good chance. Are you willing to wait?”


    Wang Lin was shaking with excitement, “As long as we can kill that bastard, I don’t care how long I have to wait.” Wang Lin had never been humiliated and bullied by anyone since he was born. Thus, his hatred for Ye Zifeng was on another level. If it wasn’t for the fact that his cultivation was low, he would have made his moves already.


    Wang Ruoxing looked up at the sky. He somewhat had an idea of how he would deal with Ye Zifeng already.


    ……


    It wasn’t unreasonable for Ye Zifeng to want to try and rope in the Liu n. After all, their ns must be pretty close if they were able to have an engagement. If it was the Wang n, he would definitely be chased out the second he walked into their manor.


    After changing into a brand new blue robe, he walked to the Liu n by himself.


    Actually, Ye Chongtian wanted to go with him but with Ye Zifeng’s disapproval, he gave up on going. At least he was going to the Liu n and not the Wang n. The Liu n’s n master Liu Mu had a pretty good rtionship with the Ye n so Ye Chongtian wasn’t so worried.


    In the Liu n’s family hall.


    “No way. Definitely not. Qian-er, when did you be so muddle-headed! You can ask whoever you want to the alchemypetition. Why do you want Ye Zifeng to go with you?”


    “That’s right. Sister Bingqian. Did you forget that he was the one who beat you to be the number one in Leizhou City? Father will never approve of this!”


    Liu Ningzi sighed. She had a helpless expression on her face. She also didn’t understand why her sister wants to invite that Ye Zifeng to go with her.


    “I don’t care. I’ve already promised him. This time, I’ll definitely bring him along. You guys will make me a liar if you make me take back my words.” Liu Bingqianined. Her face showed a resolute expression.


    Liu Bingqian saw how angry everyone was and immediately walked towards her dad and lifted his hand.


    “Daddy, you’ve always let me do what I wanted. Come on. Talk to them about it. I’ve heard that we have a pretty good rtionship with the Ye n too.”


    While saying that, she shot a nce towards Liu Ningzi. Everyone knew what she meant by doing that. Liu Ningzi and Ye Zifeng had an engagement and the two families almost became rtives.


    Liu Mu thought of the old days and shook his head. He bitterlyughed and sighed, “That was many years ago. At that time, the Ye n was one of the three great ns. But now…..”


    He sighed again and looked at Liu Bingqian, “It’s not like dad doesn’t want to help you, but…… the two n’s rtionship isn’t like how it used to be…..No one from the Ye n will evene to talk with our Liu n anymore….”


    At that time, a servant came running into the room with a panic look on his face.


    “Master, Master. There’s a guest who wants to see you. He’s waiting in the guest room already. I hope the master can go over quickly!”


    Liu Mu furrowed his brows, “Is this the first time you’ve received a guest? Let him sit in the guest room for a while. I need to talk with my daughter and will go overter. Go and tell him that.


    In thest few days, many smaller ns have visited him to gain some benefits and give him gifts. He didn’t want to pay attention to them anymore.


    “But….. But, that guest is……”


    Liu Mu was very impatient and red at the servant, “Who is it that’s making you make such a fuss. Our Liu n is one of the top ns in the city. We shouldn’t do something like this in front of guests. Even if it’s some esteemed guest, you should rx a bit and remember where you are. There’s no reason to be shocked.”


    “Master, it’s the Ye n’s young master. Ye Zifeng is here!”


    “What?!?” Liu Mu was shocked after hearing this.
