Surge of Cultivation

Am I that kind of person?

If he were to openly vote for one of the top ten influential figures in the Federation's business world in the past hundred years, Ye Zong definitely had a reason to be selected.

In these ten years, not only had he accumulated a lot of business experience, he had also earned over a hundred million, but Ye Zong's achievement was far from satisfactory. At the age of thirty, he single-handedly established the "Ye Heavy Labor". After twenty years of miraculous rapid development, "Ye's Heavy Industry" became a giant that could shake the Federation's business world from a small, obscure company. Ye Zong's battle history, which was filled with blood and tears, had also become a legend in the business world. He was revered as a classic by countless elites of the federation, and they were all talking about him with interest.

What was even more admirable was that even though he had created such a glorious achievement, even though he could not spend all of his wealth, Ye Zong did not behave arrogantly or arrogantly, keeping a low profile. He had always lived in seclusion and rarely showed his face in public. Especially after he experienced the pain of his son's death more than ten years ago, there were barely any news of Ye Zong.

This was also the reason why no one recognized Ye Zong when he appeared in the auction hall of the "Hongli Auction House".

Some people said that although Ye Zong did not leave his home, he was able to organize and manage affairs at home, while controlling hundreds of thousands of his employees by remote control to work for him. Others said that Ye Zong had been given authority over his eldest son, second son, grandchildren, and even some of his trusted aides to manage the heavy work of the Ye clan.

No matter what, the Ye Family's Heavy Industry had grown steadily over the past few years. Many people were guessing that even though the Ye family's old patriarch had retreated behind the scenes, he was still the true master of the "Ye Family Heavy Industry".

Ye Qingdi and Xia Bingchuan stood on the other side of the gate, quietly watching Ye Zong, who was slowly approaching the gate and was surrounded by eight bodyguards. When Ye Zong walked past them, for some reason, Ye Qingdi's heart suddenly jumped. The blood in his body was flowing faster, as if it was resonating with something in the surroundings.

It was not only Ye Qingdi himself who had this feeling. Ye Zong, the Old Master Ye, who had bought the Battle Bead and was preparing to leave the auction house, also felt the same thing. He frowned, then suddenly, as if he met a strong magnet, he turned his head to look at Ye Qingdi.

"Little Ling?"

At the same time, he blurted out two words. Both of his eyes stared wide open with an abnormal look, and his eyes revealed shock, confusion, bewilderment, longing, sadness, and other similar expressions.

"Who are you calling?"

Ye Qingdi looked around and finally realized that this Ye family's old patriarch was calling for him. Judging from his appearance, if it wasn't for the bodyguards around him, he might have already pounced towards him.

Who was Little Ling? Judging from the lordmaster's expression, he must be someone very close to him, right? Heh heh, the old tutor is getting old and his eyes aren't working well.

At this moment, a bodyguard whispered something into Ye Zong's ear. A moment later, Ye Zong's expression finally returned to normal.

"Yes, Little Ling died …" He had been dead for more than ten years … "I have acknowledged the wrong person..." As Ye Zong muttered, he suddenly took large strides and slowly walked in the direction of Ye Qingdi.

The eight bodyguards had already sensed that Xia Bing and Xia Huo, who were standing beside Ye Qingdi, were both powerful warriors. The eight bodyguards had already sensed that Xia BingYan and Xia BingYan, who were standing beside Ye Qingdi, were also powerful warriors.

Xia Bing and Xia Huo looked at each other and took a step forward at the same time. Although the strength of the two was far weaker than the other, they did not show any sign of weakness.

Ye Zong waved his hand, signalling to the bodyguards not to be so nervous. He smiled, and said to the three of them with a friendly face, "Haha, the three of you can relax. I have no ill intentions towards you … …"

He looked straight at Ye Qingdi's face and sighed, "Young man, you really look like a relative of mine who passed away early on. Young man, may I ask your name? And... How old are you this year? "

"Ye Qingdi." "I'm almost eighteen." Ye Qingdi smiled and replied.

When Ye Zong stood in front of him, Ye Qingdi did not know why, but a feeling of closeness suddenly arose in his heart. He thought that this was probably because both of them had the surname of Ye.

"Ye Qingdi …" Emperor Ye Qing … " Ye Zong repeated the name in a low voice, his gaze still not leaving Ye Qingdi's face as he sadly said, "It looks like … It was so similar! This appearance … This temperament … He was exactly the same as Little Ling at the age of seventeen or eighteen! If Xiao Ling hadn't died, if I hadn't stopped him from being together with Xiao Yun, they would have already had a child, right? Maybe even to your age. "Sigh …"

Ye Zong's final sigh was a mixture of indescribable pain and self-blame. It was as if he had done something wrong in the past, and even when he recalled it, he still felt boundless regret.

"Old Master, who is Little Ling to you?" Ye Qingdi couldn't help but ask.

If it was anyone else, perhaps Ye Qingdi would have already pulled Xia Bingchuan and Xia Brothers in the car and left, not bothering to say anything more. However, towards this famous founder of the "Ye Clan's Heavy Industry", Old Man Ye Zong, he had a feeling that he was born with a favorable impression and wanted to chat a little more with him.

"That's my youngest son, my favorite son. It's a pity that he died young …." Ye Zong smiled miserably as tears seemed to be flowing out of his eyes. He took out a white handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes.

"Lordmaster, don't be sad! You are a middle-aged bereaved child, and I lost my parents when I was young. "Honestly speaking, I'm more pitiful than you …" Ye Qingdi sighed along with him. Suddenly, he saw the glass case in Ye Zong's hands and said with a smile, "Old Master, there's something that I forgot to thank you for …"

"Thank me for what?" Ye Qingdi changed the topic too quickly. Ye Zong couldn't help but to be startled.

"The Battle Bead in your hand was originally mine. If the old gramps hadn't been so generous at the auction, how would I have been able to earn these 700 million? "

"So that's how it is!" Ye Zong lowered his head to look at the Lion Elephant Battle Bead and lightly smiled, "Actually, you don't have to thank me. To others, this Battle Bead might not be worth 700 million, but to me, 1 billion is also worth it! "After all, this is a rare item that is hard to come by. Why would you care about spending a little more money to buy it?"

"That makes sense!" Ye Qingdi nodded in agreement, before he smiled and asked, "If the Old Master buys these Battle Beads, would you like to take them or change hands to sell to others? "Un, judging from your appearance, you don't seem to be lacking in money. You shouldn't be selling it anymore..."

Ye Zong's mood seemed to improve a little as he smiled and said, "That eldest grandson of mine is also a martial arts cultivator. This Battle Bead is obviously a gift to him. Amongst my grandchildren, this grandson of mine is the most promising, so I hope for his strength to improve! Hehe, seeing this fifty year old Battle Pearl, I think he will definitely be very happy! "

"Spend seven hundred million federal coins to buy a Battle Pearl for your own grandson to swallow … This old man was really willing to make a move! However, he was a Giant in the business world. Others might not be able to earn seven hundred million in a few lifetimes, but to him, it was nothing more than a drop in the bucket! That grandson of his was truly blessed to have such a good grandfather … "Sigh, poor me, forget about grandfather, I don't even know where my parents are …" Ye Qingdi sighed in his heart.

"Emperor Qing, let's go!" This is not a place to stay for long! " Xia Huo suddenly spoke out.

The matter had probably spread throughout the entire city by now. Although the auction house had recognized that the information regarding the buyer was strictly confidential and would not leak out to anyone, some of the people who had ulterior motives could guess that the owner was most likely Ye Qingdi and the two other people who had just left the auction house. This was because they had taken the money and were preparing to leave.

For a long time now, the various auction houses of the Federation had been filled with violent incidents. Some people had their combat beads stolen before they could even sell them, while others were kidnapped and extorted after the auction, empty-handed. Therefore, it was not wise to speak in the vicinity of this auction house.

"Indeed, if we were to speak here, it would affect you! Let's go … "You guys leave, I'll leave as well …" After hearing Xia Huo's words, Ye Zong nodded towards Ye Qingdi with a smile, turned around and left.

He had only walked a few steps when he suddenly thought of something. He turned around and walked back to the side of Ye Qingdi, asking, "Young man, can you give me your contact information? Haha, although we didn't say much today, I feel that we are on good terms with you! If you have time in the future, I will invite you to be my guest! You won't refuse, will you? "

Ye Zong had a very good impression of the Ye Qingdi. Although this old man was a big shot who could cause a 'earthquake' in the Federation's business community with a stomp of his foot, he wasn't as domineering and haughty as some rich and powerful people. Instead, he was as amiable and approachable as some ordinary old men.

"You can tell that the old man is rich just by looking at him. You definitely wouldn't treat me like shabby food if I came over to visit your place, right?" Haha, I am a person who loves to eat. Since I have a sumptuous and free meal to eat, why wouldn't I go when I have to crawl? Only a fool would reject it! " Ye Qingdi smiled as he took out a pen and paper. Waving his hand, he wrote his name and phone number on the paper and handed it to Ye Zong.

Ye Zong borrowed Ye Qingdi's pen, wrote his name and contact details on the white paper, tore it off and gave it to Ye Qingdi, smiling as he said, "My name and address are all on it. If you have something, you can contact me! "Goodbye, young man!"

"Goodbye, old man!"

Emperor Qing watched as Ye Zong climbed into a black limousine and sped off with the guards of the other four cars. Only then did he lower his head to look at the name and address Ye Zong had given him.

"Ye Zong, Northern City Ye Family Building..." This old man is Ye Zong! Senior Brother Xia Huo, you guessed right! "

Xia Huo said complacently: "That's right, who am I, your senior brother? How can I possibly guess wrongly? "

"Let's go." Xia Bing looked around and urged in a low voice.

"My two senior brothers, your account …"

"The money is yours, we don't want it." Before Ye Qingdi finished talking, Xia Bing had already coldly refused.

Ye Qingdi shrugged and smiled, "Forget it, forget it! I understand. My two senior brothers are feeling sorry for me and saving my life for me! Hehe, 200 million … It's enough to do a lot of things! "

Seeing Xia Bing drive the car, Xia Huo said to Ye Qingdi in a low voice, "Junior Brother, I will leave my 100 million with you first. When I want a wife in the future, I might need that money … …" Don't tell anyone else that you know about it! "

"Understood."

"Heh heh …"

The "Battle Beast" car sped away from the "Hongli Auction House", and not long after, it flooded into the surging traffic.

It was already close to noon, Ye Qingdi still had something to do in the afternoon, so they didn't let Xia Bing drive back to the old city's courtyard. The three of them ate a hearty meal in a specialty pub in the city, chatted for a while before leaving.

This time, it was Xia Huo who acted as the driver. After he sat in the driver's seat, he turned his head and asked with a smile, "Junior brother, what are you planning to do now? You earned several hundred million yuan in a single morning, so you must be extremely excited, right? At this time, a man's adrenaline level is usually very high. Do you want me to take you to a rather famous entertainment club and spend an entire night in it? are there a lot of beautiful women inside? "

"Am I that kind of person?" Ye Qingdi gave Xia Huo a disdainful look, then asked softly, "Which entertainment club in Zhong Cheng has a better beauty quality?"

"..."

"It's just a joke! I have a little fish, a beauty from an entertainment club... Those were all floating clouds! Senior apprentice-brother Xia Huo, the little fish … Have you seen Yu Xiaoxiao? Is she beautiful? "

Xia Huo sighed, "Beautiful! That was not an ordinary beauty! Where did the beauties in the entertainment club get their pure and pure temperament? Every single one of them looked as if they were taking aphrodisiac … I say, junior brother, she isn't the only beauty by your side, right? Just from what I have seen, there are at least three or four of them.

"Yu Xiaoxiao has fallen. The rest are all friends. They are not involved in the relationship between a man and a woman."

"Matters between men and women... Hard to say! Sometimes, friends and friends can become traitors if they are not careful! "

"Am I that kind of person? Am I? " However, when he thought about the intimate relationship he had with Yue Yun and Duanmu Yan, who he had once shared a bathroom with, he felt a little guilty for saying such words.

"I think so!" Xia Bing, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up.

Xia Huo burst into laughter, while Ye Kai was dumbstruck.

This ice sculpture still thought that he was an honest man, why did he randomly place the shitty pot on someone's head? This was simply naked slander! An unreasonable personal attack? Ye Qingdi thought with dissatisfaction. However, he gave up defending himself and changed the topic, saying, "Senior Brother Xia Huo, let's go to the Emperor Merchant Shop to buy some things, then we can go to the Xiangshan villa complex. I want to visit a person there … He is my benefactor! "

When he was shopping at the "King Merchant Shop", Ye Qingdi didn't greet Manager Li, but yesterday, after he left, Manager Li had already informed everyone in the building. Anyone who owned a gold card, no matter what they bought in the building, would get a 20% discount.

At the end of the checkout, some of the employees even thought that Ye Qingdi was a relative of Manager Li and they were all extremely polite. When some of the unmarried girls saw that Ye Qingdi was sunny and handsome, they fiercely gave him a flirty glance, wantonly asked for contact methods, until Ye Qingdi carried the things he had bought and ran away from the "King Merchant Shop", which was how they got rid of them. Xia Huo happily laughed as he followed behind, unavoidably playing a few more jokes.

Xia Bing and Xia Huo stayed in the middle city for a long time, they were very familiar with this place, and the "Xiangshan Villa" district was also one of the most famous rich districts in the middle city, so they all knew the exact address. After they had bought everything and got on the car at the "Emperor Merchant Shop," Xia Huo immediately started the car and drove towards the "Xiangshan Villa's" direction at high speed.

Ten minutes later, the "Battle Beast" car stopped in front of the iron gate of villa 53 in the "Xiang Shan villa" area. After Ye Qingdi got off the car, he let Xia Bing and Xia Huo wait in the car while he carried several large and small bags to the iron gate and pressed the doorbell.

After that, he would often meet Qiu Zhan in the True Martial University of Zhongdu. Qiu Zhan had invited him to visit his home more than once, but Ye Qingdi hadn't bothered with it, so he didn't know if Qiu Zhan would blame him for this visit. Fortunately, he had brought a heavy gift for each and every one of them.

In fact, it was not that Ye Qingdi did not want to come, nor did he lack time, it was just that this family of three, other than the Autumn War, Yang Yishui, was too passionate and the Autumn Leaf was not very friendly to him, he was just too lazy to come. However, he had reaped great rewards on Battle Beast Star and all his friends were preparing to give him some gifts.

After the doorbell rang, a tall and slender figure ran out from the villa within the courtyard. With a delicate face, short hair, and a body covered in black clothing, who else could it be other than Autumn Battles' daughter, Autumn Leaf?

"This girl, the last time I came here, she first rejected me, and then while her parents were not around, she fought with me again. She was as powerful as a mother leopard … That time, it was fine that she didn't know me. But she wouldn't be so naive this time, right? F * ck you, if you dare to argue with me again, when I see dad and mom, I'll sue you first! Let's see if your dad won't smash your butt! " Emperor Ye Qing stared at Autumn Leaf's graceful and vigorous figure as he thought to himself.

Autumn Leaf also saw Emperor Ye Qing from far away. She immediately frowned, and the expression on her face became slightly colder.
