"Haha, Fang Yu my young friend, this is our Shennong Sect’s Sect Leader, my boss!" Before Ye Guichen could respond, Mai Gu had already impatiently started speaking.
As he stroked his beard, he looked at Fang Yu with a happy expression on his face, feeling no embarrassnt despite Ye Guichen being around the sa age as his grandson.
But Fang Yu opened his mouth wide in disbelief: "Grandpa, you, you say Brother Ye is even more powerful than you?"
"Of course!" Mai Gu smacked his lips and was about to brag a bit more when Ye Guichen gave him a glare: "Alright, Master Mai, let’s talk business first."
Then, he sat down next to Fang Yu, "Fang Yu, if there’s anything, tell first."
Fang Yu nodded sowhat woodenly.
He knew Ye Guichen could fight, was extrely proficient in martial arts; it was also because Ye Guichen intervened at the club that Ma Gang was scared, and this martial arts hall was saved.
But now, Mai Gu was saying Ye Guichen is the Sect Leader of Shennong Sect?
If he hadn’t heard it himself, Fang Yu would still think Mai Gu was making fun of him.
To know, in these past two days, Mai Gu had been in frequent contact with him, persistently persuading him to sell the martial arts hall to open a Chinese dicine Hall.
In Fang Yu’s impression, those who can open a Chinese dicine Hall are all formidable figures.
Furthermore, Fang Yu also learned about Mai Gu’s identity from others, he was regarded as a Divine Doctor.
Just two days ago, Fang Yu saw people from Jinling Royal Mansion personally co to take Mai Gu away.
Even the people from Jinling Royal Mansion treated Mai Gu with great respect, proving Mai Gu’s prowess.
And Mai Gu, yet calling Ye Guichen Sect Leader, spoke without a hint of discord, as if it was natural.
"Brother Ye, do you truly understand dical skills?" Fang Yu still couldn’t accept Ye Guichen’s transformation.
Ye Guichen smiled: "I only have a rough understanding. Co on, tell what’s troubling you, and let’s see if I can help."
At the ntion of his own troubles, Fang Yu’s face darkened again: "Brother Ye, about last ti, Sister Jiu’er..."
"It’s okay, all that is in the past. Your Sister Jiu’er is fine, she’s already been taken ho by her brother."
Although Ye Guichen hadn’t spent much ti with Fang Yu, he knew this child was very ticulous.
After Su Jiu’er went missing last ti, Fang Yu had been wallowing in guilt.
Hearing Ye Guichen say Su Jiu’er was alright, Fang Yu finally showed a trace of a smile: "That’s good, that’s good."
But he soon beca dejected again: "Brother Ye, you have real skills, I sincerely admire you. Today’s situation, you can’t help . Actually, when I saw Grandpa Mai, I was keen to sell this martial arts hall to Grandpa Mai, but, but I..."
"Kid, just say what’s on your mind. Afraid I won’t pay you?" Mai Gu was getting anxious, he directly took out the gold bar Ye Guichen had given him and stuffed it in Fang Yu’s hand: "Here, take it, consider it a deposit. As long as you sell this martial arts hall to , I assure you I won’t shortchange you by a single penny."
Fang Yu quickly pushed the gold bar away: "Grandpa Mai, it’s not about the money. When you ca to talk to last ti, I was willing to sell it to you, but, but later..."
"Stop stamring, speak clearly!" Mai Gu, with his already sowhat impatient temper, saw Fang Yu stuttering and his face grew long: "Isn’t it just another Chinese dicine Hall trying to snatch your martial arts hall? Don’t worry, I won’t let you suffer financially. Whatever they offer you, I’ll add an extra ten thousand to it."
As he spoke, he held out a finger, looking smug and confident.
Ye Guichen almost burst out laughing seeing Mai Gu’s exaggerated seriousness.
This martial arts hall is located in a bustling area, with an excellent location, spread over three floors totaling a thousand square ters; even if the average price is fifty thousand, it would still be fifty million.
Now Mai Gu offers just an extra ten thousand, if this were known by others, it would be laughed off.
Fang Yu apparently had no concept of money either.
He quickly shook his head: "Grandpa Mai, it’s really not about the money. After you left last ti, indeed, people from that Chinese dicine Hall ca and asked to sell it. But, but I refused. Then they threatened , saying, saying if I dared to sell it to Grandpa Mai, they would make disappear in Jinling."
"What!" Mai Gu didn’t realize there was this hidden aspect, he roared angrily: "They’re threatening you?"
Fang Yu’s eyes began to redden again, he struggled to hold back his tears: "Yes, they not only threatened , but even Master Lu of the neighboring Nandu Martial Arts Hall spread the word that if I dared to keep operating a martial arts hall, he would make lose everything."
As he spoke, Fang Yu looked at Ye Guichen: "Brother Ye, I know you’re a good person, you once told that if I wanted to keep the martial arts hall, I could. Previously, I thought running a martial arts hall was no big deal, but now I realize, it’s far from simple. Not only do I lack money, even if I had it, I couldn’t manage it."
After so probing.
Ye Guichen finally understood the general cause and effect.
Fang Yu sincerely wanted to fulfill his father’s wish.
But, with just an empty shell of this martial arts hall, how could he achieve it?
No money for renovation, no money to hire coaches.
Moreover, Fang Yu, even though he learned so fighting skills from his father since childhood, wasn’t even considered a third-rate expert. Even if he had money, how could he command respect?
That was secondary.
Peers are always rivals.
This street originally had only two martial arts halls, besides Fang’s Tianhe Martial Arts Hall, the neighboring Nandu Martial Arts Hall owned by Lv Liang was the most prosperous.
Ye Guichen managed to crush Nandu Martial Arts Hall last ti, even crippled their gold dal coach, Ding Fei, known as a first-rate expert.
But what difference did it make?
Lv Liang didn’t believe Ye Guichen would fully help Fang Yu and naturally didn’t want another martial arts hall to rise and compete for business.
Thus, making Fang Yu give up was the safest strategy.
Fang Yu was forced to sell the martial arts hall.
Originally thinking selling smoothly would be fine, but who would have thought, even selling it seed impossible.
"Fang Yu, how much did that Chinese dicine Hall propose to buy your martial arts hall?" Ye Guichen suddenly thought of the key point.
If the other side could afford a reasonable price, then selling it wouldn’t matter much; they could just relocate.
Fifty million, to Fang Yu, was certainly a huge sum.
Fang Yu, even without any ambition, would have enough to spend for a lifeti.
Not seeking wealth, just simple life.
