Wuyi Mountain.

One of the ancient and renowned mountains of China, Wuyi Mountain has been the subject of many a writer and artist throughout the ages.

The ancient trees are lush and verdant all year round, and its unique topography gives it an air of mystery.

There’s a Daoist temple situated on one of Wuyi Mountain’s branches, known as Dragon-Tiger Temple.

The path from the base of the mountain to the summit where Dragon-Tiger Temple stands is a long and narrow trail, with sections of stone steps connecting to the peak.

A figure passed along the ancient plank walkway and arrived at the foot of the mountain where Dragon-Tiger Daoist Temple was located.

Yin Shaoxiong looked at the steep stone steps, the dark green moss glistening, and took out a small bamboo tube from his bosom, put it to his lips, and gently blew into it. Immediately, the bamboo tube emitted a crisp sound that traveled far and wide.

Yin Shaoxiong did not hurry, instead sitting on a large stone and doing nothing.

Before long, a figure suddenly appeared before Yin Shaoxiong.

"Senior brother!"

Upon seeing the newcomer, Yin Shaoxiong immediately showed a look of joy and stepped forward to perform a ritual salute.

Being the direct heir of the Yin family, showing such respect towards someone of a similar age was particularly difficult for someone like Yin Shaoxiong. The fact that he put aside his status showed how extraordinary the person before him was.

The man was dressed in white, resembling ancient attire, and looked quite extraordinary. He looked at Yin Shaoxiong indifferently and said, "Master’s birthday has not yet arrived; why did you come back so suddenly? Eh? What’s with your hands?" His gaze fell upon Yin Shaoxiong’s arms, which were limp and motionless.

"Senior brother, this younger brother has run into some trouble, so I returned to the sect, hoping senior brother could help," Yin Shaoxiong said.

"With your family’s power and your background, what is there in the mortal world you cannot resolve? What exactly happened to your hands?" The man showed a hint of surprise, "Who injured you?"

"Senior brother, I came across an expert. His age is similar to mine, but his strength might have reached the realm of True Qi!" Yin Shaoxiong began, and especially when he mentioned the realm of True Qi, the man’s eyes suddenly grew sharp.

"Is that so?" The man became interested.

Seeing his senior brother’s interest, Yin Shaoxiong had anticipated as much and went on to describe his encounter with Ye Qiu.

After he finished speaking, the man’s eyes sparkled as he said, "To be able to easily overpower you, this person’s cultivation is indeed not ordinary. But to say his age is similar to yours... that’s remarkable!"

"Senior brother, my wedding is approaching soon, and that person is acquainted with my fiancée. I’m afraid there might be complications, so I sincerely request senior brother’s help, to prevent him from ruining my plans," Yin Shaoxiong pleaded earnestly.

"Hehe, junior brother, don’t forget the sect’s rules. I can’t easily leave the mountain either," the man replied.

"Senior brother, don’t you want to face that person in combat? I know senior brother’s martial skills have reached an unparalleled level. This person’s strength will surely satisfy you," Yin Shaoxiong said.

"I am a member of the Daoist sect, and it’s a rule of our sect not to interfere in the mortal realm. However..." The man paused.

Yin Shaoxiong picked up the thread of conversation, quickly reacting and saying, "I invite senior brother to attend junior brother’s wedding. That wouldn’t be too much to ask, right? Senior brother would just be making an appearance; it wouldn’t count as violating the sect rules."

"In that case..." The man did not continue, and Yin Shaoxiong’s heart leapt with joy. Having invited this formidable senior brother, he felt much more at ease. With senior brother there, he was confident he could deal with Ye Qiu, "Senior brother, do you have a way to heal my arms?"

The man nodded slightly.

Upon seeing this, Yin Shaoxiong let out a sigh of relief. After his strength had been locked by Ye Qiu, he had been considering reporting Ye Qiu’s appearance to his sect, because deep down, Yin Shaoxiong had always been worried and uneasy. He feared that on his wedding day, Ye Qiu would disrupt everything, or even take Shangguan Hong away.

Therefore, he chose to return to his sect to request a senior brother, a martial arts expert, to confront Ye Qiu.

Since the senior brother nodded in agreement to come down from the mountain, he could now be completely at ease.

...

Ye Qiu had been waiting in the villa for two days, until on the third day, Huo Qian called, but not to talk about the murderer of Shen Tianlong. Instead, it was something else.

Huo Qian asked Ye Qiu to meet in person, as it wasn’t something clear enough for a phone call.

Once Ye Qiu arrived at the cafe, he found Huo Qian seated by the window.

"What’s so important that you couldn’t say it over the phone?" Ye Qiu took a seat and asked Huo Qian.

"Do you remember the young man we encountered when we went to gamble on stones?"

"You mean the one who competed with us for the raw stone we were interested in and had people intercept us afterward?" Ye Qiu remembered, with just a small recollection, he knew the person he was talking about.

"That’s the one. He’s from the Li family in Su City, named Li Jinglong. He sought me out yesterday and, given the Li family’s reputation, I had a meal with him," Huo Qian said.

Ye Qiu waited for Huo Qian to continue, knowing that if Li Jinglong sought Huo Qian out, there must be a reason.

"He said he wants to meet you to discuss a potential collaboration," Huo Qian added.

"Collaboration?" Ye Qiu couldn’t imagine what kind of cooperation there could be with the other party.

"That day, he saw your technique in stone gambling and thought your eye for stones was very accurate, so he wants your assistance," Huo Qian explained. He had initially not wanted to pass the message along, as his impression of Li Jinglong wasn’t too favorable. But given his father’s intervention, he reluctantly brought up the matter to Ye Qiu.

"This is your father asking you to talk to me, isn’t it?" Ye Qiu suddenly said.

Huo Qian was taken aback, touched his own face, and wondered if he had made it too obvious.

Huo Qian nodded, not hiding anything from Ye Qiu.

"Based on what I know about you, I believe even if he approached you, you probably wouldn’t go unless there was a special reason. What’s more, this doesn’t seem to benefit you in any way. You’d only tell me this unwillingly if your father asked," Ye Qiu said with a smile, taking a sip from his teacup.

Huo Qian couldn’t help but sigh, "No wonder my father asked me to get close to you. Brother Ye, your insight is indeed sharp. I hardly said anything, and you guessed it all."

"That person beat us to buying the raw stone we had our eyes on. Had I not anticipated it and trapped him, we would have been the losers. It’s clear his way of doing things is not too impressive," Ye Qiu spoke slowly.

"Then I’ll reject him. I’ve delivered the message, and you don’t need to worry about my face. I dislike the guy, too," Huo Qian said, draining the coffee from his cup in one gulp.

"Since you’re here, tell me about his family’s power in Li Jinglong. If I refuse his invitation, knowing his cunning, he won’t let it go easily. Looks like I’ll be gaining another enemy!" Ye Qiu spread his hands and laughed.

"Brother Ye speaking like that makes me feel even more responsible. But rest assured, no matter what tricks Li Jinglong has, I won’t just stand by. In Su City, it may be his Li family’s territory, but in Zhongshan City, my Huo family won’t let anyone bully them so freely," Huo Qian declared.

Ye Qiu smiled, happy with the friendship he had established with Huo Qian. After chatting for a while in the cafe, Huo Qian left to take care of the matter Ye Qiu had tasked him with. Not long after Ye Qiu returned to the villa, Ye Zi sent news about the person Ye Qiu was looking for.

"Bro, I found that guy you were looking for. He’s at..." Ye Qiu hung up the phone.

Then Ye Qiu called Huo Qian, told him he didn’t need to look any further, and after hanging up, he quickly changed his clothes and left the villa.
