Chapter 996: Chapter 996: No Dispute Chapter 996: Chapter 996: No Dispute Yu Zhiyuan thought for a mont. Since Yang Yuxin was in Luohua Manor and knew about the elder’s serious illness, it was very likely. “Then I would like to ask, what do you think are the chances that Elder Feng will make a move?”
Xu Leigang gave him a look, “Elder is what we call him, you should address him as Master.”
Yu Zhiyuan nodded helplessly, “Alright, alright, the Master… What are the chances of Master Feng intervening?”
“It’s not about the chances,” Xu Leigang shook his head, “This illness, from what I see… he’s absolutely certain to cure it. The key issue is whether you can persuade him to make a move or not. Qi Wukui, during the New Year’s, even caused us to have a power outage.”
“Qi Wukui is just a fool!” Yu Zhiyuan cursed angrily, “But rest assured, I’ve already contacted Yang Yuxin about this plot of land, the Yu Family will not interfere… neither will Shengshi.”
Xu Leigang glanced at him strangely, “Zhiyuan bro, do you think this ssage is necessary?”
He clearly knew, Qi Wukui now comatose and filled with insect eggs, was definitely the manor’s doing, even guessing that most likely this was using Gu—recently, Elder Feng had gathered a lot of Gu insects for Hua Hua’s consumption.
He just wasn’t sure whether it was Feng Jun or Hua Hua who took action.
Yu Zhiyuan narrowed his eyes, his expression sowhat strange, “Are you sure… Wukui can’t be saved?”
Xu Leigang smiled, “How could I be sure of that? But I guess, even if he survives this ordeal, it’ll take him a long ti to recover, and the city can’t wait that long.”
Yu Zhiyuan was silent, then finally sighed, “But the Yu Family’s gesture towards Yang Yuxin is also a show of goodwill.”
Xu Leigang nodded but said nothing, thinking if only you hadn’t interfered at the start, things would be much easier now.
It was you who began the trouble, and now you speak of goodwill… Do you really think a slap followed by a sweet date solves everything?
Though he didn’t speak, Yu Zhiyuan felt his disapproval, hence he sighed sincerely, “Lei Gang, the Yu Family has many business dealings now, it’s impossible to keep an eye on everything…”
“Moreover, we handed over this part to Qi Wukui, and we can’t just ddle in everyday details… I have to say, I only found out yesterday about his trouble with Luohua, do you believe ?”
“I believe,” Xu Leigang nodded weakly, “But it’s pointless… now that you’ve made enemies, what else is there to say?”
Yu Zhiyuan smiled dismissively, “Politics is the art of compromise, we leaders aren’t afraid of compromise, businessn should be the sa, right?”
Xu Leigang helplessly shook his head, “Elder Feng is not a businessman, he acts recklessly, rarely considering the consequences… Of course, with his strength, he doesn’t need to worry about consequences.”
Yu Zhiyuan, too tired to argue, “Alright, he’s not a businessman, Lei Gang, the reason I ca to you is to ask… what kind of price do I need to pay to make him act? Or rather, what does he like?”
“He uh…” Xu Leigang thought for a while but still gave a serious suggestion, “He’s short of money, not a little, but a lot. Last ti, that guy with cerebral infarction, Ren Zhixiang, spent millions, but for the Yu family, you might need to prepare more.”
Ren Zhixiang… Yu Zhiyuan ntally noted down the na, but still sowhat reluctantly retorted, “A few million isn’t anything, but didn’t you say he isn’t a businessman? How can he love money?”
“A gentleman loves wealth, in a proper way,” Xu Leigang answered dismissively, “If he really wants to make money, he has many ways to do so, he just lacks the interest. He has grander pursuits… Many things in his possession, you couldn’t buy with money.”
“Is that so?” Yu Zhiyuan’s eyes flickered, “Like what?”
Xu Leigang, of course, would not ntion anything about Storage Talismans or Spirit Stones, so he gave an example, “In Luohua Manor, there is a small Jade building… covered in Mutton Fat White Jade, guess how much it’s worth?”
Yu Zhiyuan, who worked in the financial sector, although not much into jade, was quite knowledgeable about its market, he exclaid in shock, “Hundreds of tons of Mutton Fat White Jade?”
Xu Leigang dismissively laughed, “I know you won’t believe it, but Qi Wukui has seen it…”
“This guy is utterly foolish,” Yu Zhiyuan was speechless, “You dare to bully soone owning hundreds of tons of Mutton Fat White Jade… Okay, bullying isn’t a big deal, but at least figure out the opponent’s strength first, right?”
Silent for a while, he turned to Xu Leigang again, “Lei Gang, I’d like to ask you another question… about Wukui’s illness?”
Xu Leigang took out a pack of cigarettes, offered one to him and seeing he didn’t take it, lit one himself, yet didn’t utter a word, as if he hadn’t heard the question at all.
Understood! Seeing his reaction, what else could Yu Zhiyuan not understand?
It turns out, Xu Leigang, having a military background, was straightforward; he couldn’t acknowledge the matter, but was also reluctant to deny it to a friend—even though this friend was practically a stranger now.
That day at noon, Yu Zhiyuan directly called Yang Yuxin, saying I’m already outside Luohua Manor, wanting to et Feng Jun… could Director Yang help with an introduction?
Yang Yuxin, when it cos to social networking, there’s really no problem. She made it clear — “You can find a place to stay first, President Feng is busy handling matters and who knows when he’ll be free.”
What is Feng Jun busy with? He’s busy helping Li Shishi enter the stage of Transcendence.
He sadly discovered: Taking Li Shishi as a disciple might have been a wrong decision… Not only is her aptitude lacking, but her comprehension isn’t sufficient either!
What Feng Jun taught her was the Five Elents Transcendence Technique, and five full days have passed since the teaching began, yet she hasn’t even grasped the slightest bit of it.
He was very anxious, but Li Shishi was not, “Maybe… I should learn Teacher i’s techniques instead?”
Feng Jun made a silent decision in his heart: Never again would he easily impart the Five Elents Transcendence Technique to others!
Due to Zhuang Zesheng’s involvent, he decided not to impart the Tai Chi Breathing Technique anymore, and for Li Shishi, it was… the sa treatnt.
In fact, he was blaming himself: Even in the Mobile Phone Plane, very few cultivators practiced the Five Elents Transcendence, what made think this technique could be promoted in the Earth Realm?
Thinking it over, it was still arrogance, thinking that he had beco infallible. Honestly, he should not have taken disciples without talent.
In the Mobile Phone Plane, cultivators don’t care about ordinary people, and even outside the Qiuchen Market, there are many cultivation seedlings or potential seedlings waiting for opportunities. Why should the Earth Plane be any different?
But by this ti, it was too late; those disciples he had promised himself to… had to be accepted with tears!
This shows that the standard for accepting disciples by cultivators in the Mobile Phone Plane wasn’t without reason.
Feng Jun was training his newest female disciple when Yu Zhiyuan ca to request an audience, which was certainly inappropriate.
Finding a place to stay in Zhengyang was truly too easy for him, but after receiving Yang Yuxin’s response, he wished to et her in person…to discuss future cooperation.
When the Yu Family was in the capital, they were quite proud and wouldn’t engage Yang Yuxin to lobby Feng Jun.
But after arriving in Zhengyang, it didn’t matter anymore. Wanting to request Feng Jun’s assistance, he had to confront the grudge with Shengshi, and Yang Yuxin was an inevitable part of this.
Yang Yuxin didn’t decline and ca alone to the agreed teahouse.
After chatting casually for a few sentences, she shifted the topic to Elder Yu’s health condition: “I heard the old master has been unwell lately?”
Health status of soone like Elder Yu was highly confidential, her inquiry was sowhat taboo, but Yu Zhiyuan’s intent was clear enough that she needn’t avoid it any longer.
“It’s not good,” Yu Zhiyuan did not deny, “stroke, very hard to recover… I heard Feng Jun is very adept at handling this?”
Yang Yuxin pondered for a mont, then nodded, “I dare not say about others, but for stroke recovery… no one is better than Master Feng.”
You also call him Master? Yu Zhiyuan muttered internally, but since she thought so as well, he asked directly, “Director Yang, how do you think I can get the Master to take action?”
“It’s hard,” Yang Yuxin replied without hesitation, “Master Feng has a very personality-driven nature. Qi Wukui left him with a very bad impression. I think it’s more realistic for you to seek others.”
Yu Zhiyuan got sowhat angry. If seeking others were useful, why would I co to Luohua? “Director Yang, Wukui has already been punished… should we not move past this big grudge?”
Don’t deny it, I know it was the doing of Luohua Manor, what else does Feng Jun want?
Yang Yuxin glanced at him indifferently, “If you think it’s already past, then let it be past… You can talk directly with Master Feng, why seek ?”
Yu Zhiyuan was left almost speechless by the retort; the daughter-in-law of the Gu Family was no easy opponent.
Hesitating a bit, he attempted a different approach with a smile, “I mainly wanted to know what the Master likes.”
Yang Yuxin smiled slightly, “What he likes is to have things go smoothly. If you feel that this matter is over, he definitely won’t be pleased; so… don’t bother considering his preferences.”
“That land, Shengshi has no chance to compete with you guys for it anymore,” Yu Zhiyuan sighed, pausing before inquiring again, “You can’t possibly want to buy the land and give it to him, right?”
While the Yu Family wasn’t short on money, it was also unlikely they’d cough up billions in cash to make ands.
Yang Yuxin glanced at him disapprovingly, “You don’t need to gift it to him; I want to buy that plot. Even after buying it, I don’t plan on developing it much; it’s mainly to protect the Master… I don’t need your money.”
Yu Zhiyuan felt a buzz in his head, only at this mont did he truly grasp the intent behind Yang Yuxin purchasing the land, an intense chill rising in his heart.
