A hint of embarrassment appeared on Murong Bingyun's face as she looked at Chen Huo standing by the window and said, "Come down, let me introduce you!"

"This is Feng Lieyang, known as the God of War, Lieyang. He's my colleague!"

Chen Huo raised an eyebrow: "The Feng family?"

Feng Lieyang, arms crossed and expressionless, looked him up and down, raising an eyebrow: "Any objections?"

"If you have no objection, then of course I have no objection!" Chen Huo replied.

Feng Lieyang snorted coldly and turned to Murong Bingyun, saying, "Bingyun, some places have too many irrelevant people. It not only affects your state of mind but also your reputation! You should move out as soon as possible!"

"Jiangcheng has been quite unsettled lately, and I need to protect their safety!" Murong Bingyun explained.

"Protect them?" Feng Lieyang chuckled. "Ask him if he needs protection."

"What do you mean?" Murong Bingyun asked, puzzled.

"It's nothing, I just feel it's very inappropriate for you to live here!" Feng Lieyang's tone carried a hint of firmness. "If you really have nowhere to stay, I can arrange one for you! It's a quiet environment, undisturbed, and perfect for practicing martial arts!"

Murong Bingyun's eyebrows furrowed involuntarily.

She dislikes others telling her what to do, and even more so, she dislikes others interfering in her life.

But Feng Lieyang was, after all, a colleague who had helped her, so she couldn't refuse: "War God Lieyang, I'm perfectly fine living here! Besides, it's my duty to protect anyone in danger!"

"This responsibility isn't just yours alone!" Feng Lieyang persisted. "I know that several overseas forces have recently infiltrated Jiangcheng, but in my opinion, daring to come to the Dragon Kingdom's territory is courting death!"

"With me here, they can't cause any trouble! If you're really worried about the safety of ordinary people, I can allocate manpower to watch over them 24 hours a day!"

"I hope you'll carefully consider what I've said!"

"Okay, I'll consider it!" Murong Bingyun nodded slightly. "You've just arrived in Jiangcheng, you should go back and check on things first. I'll treat you to dinner another day!"

"Okay!" Feng Lieyang turned to leave, glancing at Chen Huo as he did so. "Want to come out and talk?"

Chen Huo did not refuse and followed him out.

The next moment, Feng Lieyang's body trembled, and a fierce aura was released from his body.

It was as if a towering mountain had appeared out of thin air, exuding immense power and pressure.

Chen Huo remained unmoved: "What are you trying to show me?"

"To remain unfazed by the overwhelming killing intent of a Grandmaster like myself, you certainly have some skill. No wonder you were able to consecutively kill four Grandmasters from my Feng family!" Feng Lieyang frowned. "However, I am different from them!"

"Besides being a martial arts master, I am also a god of the battlefield!"

"They are far superior to ordinary martial artists who only know how to train diligently! They have rarely experienced real combat, and naturally, they are not good at killing!"

"If I wanted to kill you, you're already dead!"

"Is that so?" Chen Huo chuckled. "You can try!"

"I had originally planned to do that, but I've changed my mind!" Feng Lieyang said, his imposing manner softening. "Let's make some terms!"

"I really dislike Bingyun living here, and I dislike even more that she lives with you!"

"If you drive her away, I might give you a chance to live!"

"Sorry, it's her own choice, I can't interfere!" Chen Huo shrugged. "Besides, it's obvious she doesn't have those feelings for you, so why bother being presumptuous!"

Even if I chase her away, she won't be close to you!

"This isn't something you need to worry about!" A flash of anger crossed Feng Lieyang's eyes. "I'm giving you a chance!"

"You're pretty stupid!" Chen Huo said, then turned and left.

Feng Lieyang stood there, stunned for a long while, before he came to his senses.

Is he stupid?

How dare someone call him an idiot!

"Heh, Chen Huo, even if you are a Grandmaster, I am absolutely confident that I can crush you! The next time we meet will be your death day!" Feng Lieyang clenched his fist tightly, then stepped into his personal green off-road vehicle.

"Do you know each other?" Murong Bingyun asked when Chen Huo returned.

"I don't know any idiots like that!" Chen Huo shook his head.

"What did he say to you?" Murong Bingyun frowned.

"It's nothing, just that kind of thing between men and women!"

"Feng Lieyang has a rather assertive personality. He's a war god and the second young master of the Feng family, a martial arts clan. You'd better be polite when you speak to him to avoid offending him!"

"I don't need you to remind me!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Murong Bingyun swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

I was just trying to give you a friendly reminder, but this guy always acts like he doesn't appreciate it.

In addition, she always felt that her previous breakthrough was somewhat inexplicable.

It seems that it wasn't Feng Lieyang's sparring partner, but rather Chen Huohou's roar that helped her break through the bottleneck and enter the Grandmaster realm.

I wanted to ask, but in the end I kept my mouth shut.

What ability does someone like that have to help him break through his martial arts bottleneck?

I was really dreaming!

Before long, everyone else got up too.

Li Qingran's eyes were a little red, clearly she had cried last night.

However, he still had a faint smile on his face, acting as if nothing had happened.

Yin Yuhan and Jiang Aiwei didn't know what to say, but they would glare at Chen Huo from time to time.

It's as if he defiled an innocent young girl.

I feel so helpless!

With the support of the Goddess Pavilion and the Jiang family, the company rapidly grew and entered a period of high-speed operation.

In an instant, it became the most unexpected dark horse in the Jiangcheng business district.

Many people predict that soon, Qingyuwei Company will definitely have a place in Jiangcheng.

They could even become a more powerful force than the four major families of Jiangcheng.

In addition, there was another event that attracted attention and heated discussion throughout Jiangcheng.

That was the centennial birthday banquet of the Earth Immortals Association, the old Earth Immortal.

This legendary figure has been living in seclusion for many years, and is rarely heard of by ordinary people or the younger generation.

However, the upper class still recognized the true value of this old geomancer.

"Qingran, Yuhan, have you heard? The old Earth Immortal of the Earth Immortal Society is holding his birthday banquet tomorrow!" Jiang Aiwei said, stirring her coffee as she finished her work. "If we could attend this banquet, even just to make a brief appearance, it would be beneficial for our company!"

"How so?" Li Qingran and Yin Yuhan both leaned forward curiously.

They had never heard of any earth immortal society or old earth immortal.

It wasn't until Jiang Aiwei explained that they learned of this person's existence.

"Ivy, if that's what you're saying, then this old earth immortal is just like someone from the Heavenly Palace. We little minions probably don't even have the right to glance at him!"

"Yes, if we could really participate, just a little publicity would be a huge boost for our company! By the way, as the future successor of one of the four major families, you should receive an invitation, right?"
