Chapter 555 I Only Care About Him!
At Bai Mountain Estate, Yang Qi was cultivating. His recent training had led to considerable gains. Although his cultivation level hadn’t broken through, his combat experience had strengthened considerably after reflecting on the battle at the True Martial White Tower. This had previously been a weakness of his, but now it was being rapidly remedied.
Just then, the Wolf King’s voice came from outside. "Big Brother, someone is here to see you!"
"One moment!" Yang Qi stopped his cultivation and stepped outside, only to find a breathtakingly beautiful woman. Not only was she gorgeous, but she also possessed an exceptional air. She was the very definition of high society—beautiful, wealthy, and with an air of uncommon grace.
"Jia Mengxue?" Yang Qi rarely forgot a face. Jia Mengxue was a unique woman from the Jia Family of Sea City. She mostly stayed separate from her family’s affairs, but she had leveraged her own abilities to build a commercial empire, proving herself to be a rare business genius. In terms of ability, she was likely on par with Li Qingyan, who simply lacked such a favorable platform.
"Mr. Yang!" Jia Mengxue smiled. "We meet again!"
"Miss Jia, you must be here for a reason. Please, come in," Yang Qi said with a smile.
"There’s no need. I’ve come with an urgent matter. It’s extremely pressing." Jia Mengxue’s expression turned serious. "The Tang Family from Sea City is preparing to come to Thunder City. They arrive tomorrow. The Tang Family’s elder, Tang Zhetian, is personally leading the team, and they have numerous experts in tow. It seems someone disclosed information about you, which has made the Tang Family take you much more seriously."
"Oh?" Yang Qi frowned. He wasn’t surprised that the Tang Family was arriving so soon, but that someone had actually leaked information.
"Mr. Yang, in my opinion, your talent is formidable, but you are still too young. Take my advice: the best thing you can do now is to leave Thunder City immediately. Otherwise, you’ll be in grave danger," Jia Mengxue urged.
"Why are you telling me this? After all, we’re not related, nor are we close," Yang Qi asked with a smile.
Jia Mengxue was taken aback. She found it strange that Yang Qi seemed unconcerned about the Tang Family’s arrival and was instead focused on her reasons for helping him.
She took a deep breath and said, "First, that day at my hotel, your men spoke up for us and helped our establishment. Of course, that’s not the most important reason. As a businesswoman, I like to make investments, and I understand the immense benefit of investing in you. That’s why I’m helping you. Is that reason acceptable?"
"Hmm," Yang Qi nodded. "I find that reason convincing."
"Then you must leave quickly! Once the Tang Family of Sea City makes their move, you won’t be able to leave Thunder City," Jia Mengxue said, growing more anxious. She couldn’t understand why Yang Qi was so calm. Did he not believe her?
Yang Qi smiled. "Miss Jia, I’m very grateful that you came to tell me this. If you ever need anything in the future, just say the word. I may not have any remarkable talents, but I do have a few tricks up my sleeve."
"No, Mr. Yang, don’t you understand what I’m saying? It’s all true! With just a wave of their hand, the Tang Family could probably rally many of Thunder City’s experts to their side," Jia Mengxue said, her anxiety mounting.
"I believe you. Of course, I believe you," Yang Qi nodded. "However, I’m quite interested to know who, exactly, leaked my secrets."
Jia Mengxue paused for a moment before replying, "According to my intelligence, a man named Yan Duo has made contact with the Tang Family. I’m not sure if he’s the one who leaked the information, but he is the primary suspect. Moreover, I’ve heard that the Tang Family of Sea City plans to protect him. From now on, his Yan Family will be able to do as they please in Thunder City."
"Do as they please, perhaps, but not for long," Yang Qi said with a cold smile.
In his mind, Yan Duo was already a dead man. He had just spared the man’s life, and now Yan Duo had the audacity to send people after him. Fine. He would make Yan Duo pay the price he deserved. Yan Duo must die! No matter what, he must die!
"Miss Jia, please head back for now. I will make all the necessary preparations. I won’t let your kindness go to waste," Yang Qi said with a reassuring smile.
This is an opportunity. With the Tang Family from Sea City launching a large-scale assault, it’s the perfect time to see who is truly loyal to me and who is playing both sides.
Jia Mengxue had no choice but to leave. She had done the only thing she could. Whether Yang Qi lived or died was now beyond her control.
At the foot of the Heavenly God Sect’s mountain in the Dragon Country, Lin Qingxuan had just completed a sect mission and arrived at the tavern where she was to meet Uncle Jian. It was evident that her realm had improved dramatically in a short time. The once-frail woman now possessed the power of a First-Rank Great Grandmaster. Such rapid improvement was only possible within the Heavenly God Sect; no ordinary martial artist could advance so quickly. Of course, as a Cultivator, Yang Qi was not in the same category as martial artists.
"Uncle Jian, any interesting news lately?" Lin Qingxuan asked with a smile.
"The winds of change are blowing in Jingnan Prefecture. Something big is about to happen," Uncle Jian said, taking a sip of wine.
"Other people’s affairs don’t concern me. You know he’s the only one I care about," Lin Qingxuan stated.
"Heh, of course, I know. This matter is related to him. In fact, he’s the one who caused it," Uncle Jian said with a chuckle.
"Oh?" Lin Qingxuan immediately grew excited and took the phone from Uncle Jian’s hands. She began scrolling through videos, pictures, and articles, all about Yang Qi.
Uncle Jian continued, "Impressive, right? Since returning from Three Prefectures Town, your sweetheart has done something remarkable. He directly challenged the True Martial White Tower and brought the Jingnan Royal Mansion and five other major organizations to heel. I was there in person. All by himself, he defeated the Overlord Heavenly Slaughter Sword, a Third-Rank Overlord at the minor success stage. I really don’t know how he cultivates."
"My husband is exceptional, of course. The Heavenly God Sect always boasts about how skilled they are at training disciples, but now it seems they’re nothing special after all, certainly not compared to my husband. If they found out about him, they wouldn’t know what to think!" Lin Qingxuan grew more and more excited. She no longer made any effort to hide it, calling Yang Qi her husband at every opportunity.
"Indeed. His cultivation speed is probably on par with the Heavenly God’s Son. If the Heavenly God’s Son were to find out, it could be bad for him. Although he’s still just a nobody in the Heavenly God’s Son’s eyes, that might not be the case in the future," Uncle Jian cautioned. "This time, if he can crush the Tang Family from Sea City, he’ll become the undisputed number one figure in Jingnan Prefecture."
"The Tang Family from Sea City?" Lin Qingxuan took a deep breath. "That will be very difficult, won’t it?"
"It will. He might actually die this time. That old fox Tang Zhetian has decided to act personally. He’s nothing like Heavenly Slaughter Sword. He’s far more powerful. Most importantly, that old man is extremely cunning," Uncle Jian said.
