"Hey, Wenrou?"
Qin Yu picked up his phone and saw that it was a call from Lu Wenrou.
It was almost eleven o'clock, why was she calling him?
"Qin Yu, are you still in Wu City?"
Lu Wenrou's voice carried a hint of urgency.
"Yeah, I might not return to Jinling for a few days. What happened?"
Qin Yu asked.
"Ye Haolong and his family have left the country, but before they did, they dealt you a sneaky blow!"
As the deputy leader of Dragon Gate, Lu Wenrou had her ways of getting information.
Ye Haolong and his family left the Ye ho at noon and went abroad in the afternoon. Otherwise, once the arrest warrant from the provincial office was issued, Ye Tianci would definitely have been caught to tread the sewing machine in jail.
"What? What kind of trickery did Ye Haolong and his family pull this ti?"
Qin Yu's heart skipped a beat. Like a cornered beast still capable of desperate acts, he had forced Ye Haolong's family to flee the country; they must hate him to their core, and even as weakened foes, he couldn't afford to underestimate any dirty tricks they might employ against him.
"Two things, first, the Southern Martial Alliance has collectively protested against you, saying you abused your martial power and killed innocents, demanding that your position as leader be revoked. Second, the Ye Family has issued a bounty of one billion in the Dark Martial Forest for your head. I've communicated with the top brass at Dragon Gate and explained your grudge with the Ye Family, so the dismissal issue is resolved. But I can't control what happens in the Dark Martial Forest!"
Lu Wenrou knew about the existence of the Dark Martial Forest, where a group of degenerates from the Martial Forest gathered, capable of doing anything for money, and where many experts resided. If a few formidable ones decided to take action, Qin Yu would certainly have trouble handling it.
"Damn it, the Ye Family really are relentless, weren't they hurt enough by the previous beatdown?"
Qin Yu was sowhat speechless. Wu Feng was from the Dark Martial Forest, and having fought him, Qin Yu knew he was incredibly powerful. Who knew how many experts from the Dark Martial Forest would be mobilized this ti for one billion?
Just when one wave settled, another rose.
"Look, Qin Yu, tomorrow my cousin and I will co to Wu City, and then we can go back to Jinling together. He should be able to protect you!"
As a friend who had been through life and death with Qin Yu, Lu Wenrou would not stand idly by while he was being hunted by the Dark Martial Forest.
"Your cousin? Is he that strong?"
Qin Yu subconsciously asked; he'd never heard about Lu Wenrou having a cousin. But considering how weak Lu Wenrou was, her cousin couldn't be that impressive, could he?
"Much stronger than , in the late Pill Holding Realm, just a step away from the Channel-Opening Realm. He was taken away by a major sect since he was young and only recently returned ho. During New Year, he visited our ho, and I hadn't seen him for almost twenty years. Now that Dragon Gate is short on people, he's also joined Dragon Gate!"
Lu Wenrou explained in great detail.
"Uh... late Pill Holding Realm, that's indeed more powerful than !"
Qin Yu recalled what Han Bing had ntioned once: after Pill Holding Realm, there are divisions into the middle, late, and peak stages.
But each sub-realm was like a chasm, difficult to cross.
"My cousin and I are due to report to Dragon Gate. Tomorrow, he and I will co to Wu City, and from there we'll return to Jinling, and he'll head to Capital City. With him around, the people from the Dark Martial Forest probably won't make any rash moves!"
Lu Wenrou, as a friend, had proven herself considerate and was doing everything in Qin Yu's best interest.
"Alright, then thank you, and thank your cousin for too!"
Qin Yu wasn't one to put on airs. With nurous experts in the Dark Martial Forest, having a late Pill Holding Realm master to protect him would greatly increase his safety.
"No problem, it's late, you should rest early. Let's get in touch tomorrow!"
"Yeah, bye!"
After putting his phone down, Qin Yu smiled wryly and said, "The Ye Family really hates to the bone, huh!"
"Are they causing trouble for you again?"
Yan Mingyu asked, frowning.
"They've put a bounty of one billion on my head! But tomorrow, Wenrou and her cousin will co over. Apparently, her cousin is a pretty tough master, so there shouldn't be any problems."
```
Over the past year, Qin Yu had faced many great trials and tribulations, so he didn't take the bounty on his head too seriously.
"Well, let's rest then!"
Yan Mingyu couldn't be of much help with the affairs of the Martial Forest, so she sighed softly and pulled Qin Yu to bed for sleep.
Both had their own thoughts and lacked the desire for intimacy, thus they simply cuddled together and fell asleep.
The next day.
The headquarters of the Fengyun Chamber of Comrce, top floor.
Helian Wudi rarely visited the headquarters, as most matters were handled by the capable Wu i.
"Boss, do we have an important guest today?"
After making a cup of tea for Helian Wudi, Wu i asked with curiosity.
"Hmm... A few people from the Capital City's Martial Alliance are coming, and I want to greet them personally. Oh, and..."
Helian Wudi, holding the tea, gazed deeply at Wu i and said, "If you happen to find a suitable man, you should marry him!"
"Boss, you adopted when I was just an orphan. I've committed my life to you, how could I possibly marry soone else!" said Wu i, sowhat emotionally.
Actually, she had considered secretly finding a man for herself, but after following Helian Wudi for over a decade, she knew him too well. He had a stronger sense of possession than anyone else and was ruthless. If she really had another man, not only would that man die, but she would also et the sa fate.
How could a man like Helian Wudi, who stood at the very top of society, allow his humiliating secret to be exposed?
"Hmm... alright then, you may leave," Helian Wudi responded casually with a wave of his hand.
He was rely testing Wu i. Today, she looked radiant, like a flower that had been watered. But who in Wu City would dare to move in on his territory?
He guessed she must have found so way to amuse herself.
Half an hour later.
Knocking sounds accompanied by a cheerful voice: "Old friend!"
"Alliance Hierarch Yuan!"
Helian Wudi set down his teacup and stood up, opening the door. Along with Yuan Tiangang, there was Feng Wudao, as well as his nephew Yuan Shifei, who had previously co to aid Qin Yu against foreign masters from the island nation, and was known for his fondness of won's legs.
Additionally, there were two middle-aged n dressed in black robes, exuding a commanding presence.
"Haha, it's been three or four years in the blink of an eye!"
Yuan Tiangang appeared to be in his sixties, but as a martial artist, he was full of vigor. With black, thick hair and a tall, upright stature, he looked similar to an ordinary man in his forties.
He reached out both hands and warmly shook hands with Helian Wudi.
"Eh? Alliance Hierarch Yuan, have you broken through to the Pill Holding realm?"
Helian Wudi knew that Yuan Tiangang had been stuck in the late Half-Step Baodan stage for a long ti, unable to break through, but it seed that he had now managed the feat.
"Hehe, indeed, I've made the breakthrough recently," Yuan Tiangang admitted, then turned and gestured to the two middle-aged n beside him, "Let's talk inside; Helian is an old friend of ours!"
"And these two are?"
Helian Wudi glanced at the two middle-aged n, finding himself unable to see through them.
"They have co down from the mountain. Since I killed that young man Qin's grandfather, he is bound to seek revenge sooner or later. I decided to take the initiative and brought in two helpers to finish him off in Wu City!" Yuan Tiangang said straightforwardly.
