When news of Luo Daqiang's failure came from the Xu family, Ji Mingliang was having a party at a hotel with Xu Nan's best friend Zhao Ya and a group of young men from Dongzhou.

"Damn Luo Daqiang, if only we had caught Xu Donglai earlier and made him sign the bankruptcy agreement! Why did we have to wait until Xu Nan and Ye Chen, that scumbag couple, came to Dongzhou? All my martial arts masters are now crippled!"

Ji Mingliang, his face grim, slammed his hand hard on the table while holding his phone.

"What? Luo Daqiang actually failed? How is that possible? Young Master Ji, your plan was flawless!" The group of people were shocked.

"Mingliang, you mean that idiot from the Ye family has arrived in Dongzhou? This is going to be troublesome." A young man in a pink shirt frowned.

"Yes, this person is a fool but very difficult to deal with. Did you watch yesterday's live broadcast? Young Master Hong Tian of Longdu made a bet with him, and as a result, he lost his own life, Grand Commandant Hong's life, and the entire Hong family."

A hint of fear appeared on everyone's face; they were clearly frightened by yesterday's live broadcast.

Zhao Ya walked over and sat on Ji Mingliang's lap, her voice soft but tinged with fear, "The Ye family is powerful now and we're not easy to deal with. Moreover, Nan Nan might use Ye Chen against us. What should we do?"

Ji Mingliang was initially somewhat wary of Ye Chen, the eldest son of the Ye family, but when he thought of the important figures coming to his house tonight, he suddenly gave a cold smile.

"Look at your cowardly faces, isn't he just an idiot? Dongzhou is my territory, even if he doesn't come, I'll still go find him!"

The thought of his fiancée being sexually assaulted by Ye Chen in front of him made Ji Mingliang want to tear that scoundrel to pieces!

The young man in the pink shirt was named Ren Fei. He was the young master of the second largest family in Dongzhou. He was quite intelligent and served as the strategist for their small group.

After a moment of contemplation, he smiled and said, "Just as Young Master Ji said, Dongzhou is our territory. Here, dragons have to coil up and tigers have to lie low. I don't think there will be any major problems. As long as that kid Xu Chun arrives later, we can make him lose even his own life."

The Xu family has always doted on this son. If we can get him under control, why should we be afraid of not being able to control the Xu family?

Ji Mingliang nodded. "Ren Fei is right. The most urgent task is to take down Xu Chun and then threaten the entire Xu family, so that old man Xu Guodong can rebel in Ye Tianfeng's northward expedition and turn this trip to Longdu into a complete joke."

At this point, he looked at Ren Fei and asked, "How's the setup going?"

Ren Fei chuckled, "It's all set up. Once that kid Xu Chun arrives, I guarantee he'll lose everything, down to his underwear!"

"Xu Nan, you filthy bitch, you dare to betray me! Just wait, I'll soon strip you naked and parade you through the streets of Dongzhou's largest commercial district!" Ji Mingliang's lips curled into a venomous smile.

On the other side, the Xu family.

"Brother-in-law, you're amazing! You're not only rich and handsome, but you also have so much influence. I'm begging to be carried by you."

Ever since witnessing Ye Chen's abilities, Xu Chun has become his devoted fan, constantly fawning over him.

Seeing this scene, Xu Nan felt that this brat had completely disgraced both himself and the Xu family.

Xu Donglai said with a smile, "Young Master Ye, our Xu family is originally an affiliated family of the Ye family. Now that the old master is going north with Old Master Ye, why don't you take my good-for-nothing son as your errand boy?"

Ye Chen patted Xu Chun on the shoulder and shook his head slightly, saying, "You currently only have the strength of the seventh level of internal energy. It's too dangerous for you to stay by my side. Why don't you improve your martial arts level first? Would you be willing?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Chun immediately looked troubled. His martial arts talent was actually not bad, and was even slightly better than Xu Nan's.

But he just couldn't endure the hardships of cultivation, which is why he's been stuck at the level of an internal strength martial artist.

However, this time the Xu family suffered a great calamity, which made this spoiled second-generation rich kid completely wake up. Today Ye Chen saved the Xu family, but what if Ye Chen is not there next time?

Thinking of Luo Daqiang's humiliating words to his mother and two older sisters, and the family's helplessness in the face of a Foundation Establishment Grandmaster, he slowly gritted his teeth, his eyes gradually hardening.

As the man of this family, he must shoulder the responsibility of protecting his mother and two older sisters, but he is not strong enough yet!

Thinking this, he nodded firmly. "Brother-in-law, you're right. I'm too weak right now. I can't protect myself and my family, let alone work for you. I need to become stronger!"

Upon hearing this, not only did Xu's parents widen their eyes, but even Xu Nan showed a look of shock.

No matter how much she threatened or bribed him before, he just wouldn't cultivate properly. How come Ye Chen changed his mind after just a few casual words?

Ye Chen smiled and said, "Since you want to work hard, that's fine. Sister Qian, help him find a famous teacher."

"That's easy." Nangong Qian took a sip of tea and smiled as she addressed the members of the Hundred Flowers Society in the outer hall, "Elder Wang, please come in. I've found you an apprentice; he's the president's brother-in-law."

"He's not..." Xu Nan opened her mouth, but couldn't bring herself to deny it.

She knew what was important and what was not, and she couldn't let her brother miss out on a great teacher just because she was being stubborn.

"Haha, since he's the chairman's brother-in-law, this old man is truly honored."

A burly old man with a large beard walked in from outside, laughing loudly, and bowed to Ye Chen.

Upon seeing this person, the Xu family was once again secretly shocked. This Grandmaster of the Kingly Path was the number one expert in the Eastern Continent. They never expected that he would be Ye Chen's subordinate.

For a moment, Mr. and Mrs. Xu's eyes began to sparkle when they looked at Ye Chen.

Seeing the whole family fawning over Ye Chen again, Xu Nan finally couldn't hold back any longer. He stepped forward, coughed twice, and said somewhat dryly, "Our accounts are separate, but you helped the Xu family today and found a good teacher for my brother. I will work diligently under your tutelage in the future to repay today's kindness."

Ye Chen chuckled, "Why don't you repay me with your body, and I'll settle all these debts at once."

"Hmph! This young lady will not use her looks to please men," Xu Nan said with a touch of arrogance.

"Snapped!"

Ye Chen slapped her on her pert buttocks. "Whatever you say goes."

Xu Nan glared at him fiercely, but made no other move, seemingly used to Ye Chen's physical advances.

"Oh dear, although we've passed this hurdle, the Ji family is still suppressing our Xu family. What should we do? Dongzhou is the Xu family's territory. Young Master Ye, are you confident you can deal with them?" Xu Donglai said with some worry.

"Don't worry, Father-in-law, I have my own plans for this matter," Ye Chen said with a smile.

"What are you planning to do? I'll cooperate with you!" Xu Nan immediately stepped forward. Her conflict with Ye Chen could only be considered an internal one, but her relationship with the Ji family was one of external hostility.

Ye Chen glanced at Xu Chun and said with a smile, "I'll go play with Ji Mingliang in place of my brother-in-law later."
