Over the next half-day, Xu Yao received one piece of good news after another. Governnt departnts suddenly took a keen interest in the Xu Family’s affairs, expressing their willingness to provide even more generous support. For so unknown reason, even so of the country’s corporate giants suddenly showed an interest in collaboration, and the company’s stock index rose accordingly.
The most outrageous part was that even certain "governnt resources" that had originally sided with Xu Guanren sohow got ahold of Xu Yao’s personal number and called her directly. Each and every one of them was exceptionally pleasant, asking after her well-being.
This basically ant that there were no longer any obstacles to her subsequent consolidation of the Xu Family’s businesses.
Even if she was a bit slow to catch on, Xu Yao knew sothing major must have happened. After making so discreet inquiries, she finally learned that the root cause lay with Yi Beidou.
As for the deeper reasons, she couldn’t find out. Or rather, even those who had suddenly ward up to them didn’t understand the cause, only that certain higher-ups were very concerned about Yi Beidou.
’Just what in the world did he do?’
Xu Yao took a deep breath, wondering if she should call and ask him about it.
"Chairman Xu, I just received so news from Nanyang. That relative of yours..."
Just then, Xiao Taoming walked into the office, a strange expression on his face.
He had so connections in the Nanyang martial arts circles. Although he couldn’t access top-level secrets, the recent events in Nanyang had been too impactful. The news was impossible to contain, and rumors had even spread to more ordinary circles.
"What about him?"
Xu Zifeng asked Xiao Taoming before Xu Yao could.
"I... can’t really explain it clearly. Why don’t you just see for yourselves."
Xiao Taoming opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn’t say anything more, instead handing the file in his hand to the two of them.
Even for him, these events seed too fantastical.
He knew that man was powerful, but he never expected it to be this ridiculous.
Xu Yao and Xu Zifeng took the file. It contained a summary of the major events that had recently occurred in Nanyang, and even included so on-site photos.
"You’re not telling our cousin did all this, are you?"
Xu Zifeng had a bewildered expression on her face.
"From the looks of it, it was indeed the work of your relative."
Xiao Taoming said with a nod.
"If that’s the case, then it all makes sense. No wonder our company has suddenly gotten so much attention."
Xu Yao looked sowhat dazed.
’Just what kind of person has been born among the descendants of our Xu Family?’
「A month passed in a flash.」
In the suburbs of Spring City, in a detached villa with a courtyard.
After returning to Yunhai Province, Yi Beidou didn’t go directly back to Wencheng but stayed temporarily in Spring City.
He owned shares in the group, and Xu Yao deposited his annual dividends into his account on ti, so he wasn’t short on money.
Never mind temporarily renting a villa to stay in; he could have bought one without much trouble.
The events in Nanyang had attracted widespread attention from Donghua’s top leadership. The news reached Yunhai Province the fastest, and with Yi Beidou staying in Spring City, many influential figures wanted to et him. However, Yi Beidou had Zhou Baiwei turn them all away.
He didn’t want to get involved in such worldly affairs, otherwise it would only distract him and hinder his Cultivation.
This kind of behavior would normally offend a lot of people, but when it ca to Yi Beidou, no one dared to complain.
After all, his actions in Nanyang had already proven everything.
Even single-handedly, he was a being capable of sitting down to negotiate terms with an entire nation.
What right did those who depended on the system for their survival have to be angry with him?
However, it wasn’t that no one could see Yi Beidou. He was willing to et with a few fellow martial arts practitioners.
Several luxury sedans pulled up in the villa complex, and a few figures stepped out.
One figure among them was the most eye-catching. Despite wearing a simple white T-shirt and shorts, she still stood out like a crane among chickens.
Her neck was slender, her hair was tied up, her skin was as white as snow, and she had willow-leaf brows and phoenix eyes. As beautiful as a peacock, she would be a stunning sight wherever she went.
It was none other than Yang Mutong, who had once had a brief encounter with Yi Beidou at the Yunding Grand Hotel.
Beside Yang Mutong was her father, the Yang Family Patriarch, Yang Tianhe.
Next to Yang Tianhe was a middle-aged man with a round, full face. He wore a Tang suit, and his skin was fair and smooth. His forehead was high and broad, as if a pearl of wisdom had condensed there.
This was the chairman of the Yunyao Group, a renowned master of traditional Chinese dicine in the country, and also the successor of the Yun Valley Elixir Dao, Zhang Wenyuan.
Following him was a tall young man whose gaze was as sharp as a torch, as if a raging fire burned within. His back was ramrod straight, yet his aura was contained, like a sharp sword hidden within an Elixir Pill.
This was Zhang Wenyuan’s most prized disciple, Ye Zhenghua.
As soon as she got out of the car, Yang Mutong’s gaze shifted to a certain direction within the complex. Over there, a rosy glow was rising, illuminating half the sky. Even from a great distance, she could feel an indescribable sense of comfort.
It was originally an ordinary villa, but under the illumination of the rosy glow, it seed to her like an Immortal Realm, a Grotto Heaven.
"Brother Wenyuan, that person is in the villa up ahead."
Yang Tianhe said.
"I’ve already sensed it. The surrounding houses are all ordinary, only that place has a sweet fragrance. This is as the saying goes: ’A mountain needn’t be high; it is famous if an immortal lives there.’ Zhenghua, a Saint Expert is a rare sight. Having this opportunity is a great fortune for you."
"I’ve received news that Donghua will be holding the ’Martial Hero Conference’ soon. All the outstanding young talents in the land will participate to discuss the Martial Arts Dao and see who can achieve Body Ascension. You are the strongest of Yunhai’s younger generation. To be able to observe a Saint Expert up close at this ti will be of imnse benefit to you."
Zhang Wenyuan said, looking at Ye Zhenghua beside him.
"I understand, Master."
Ye Zhenghua nodded, his eyes filled with curiosity.
He had heard that this person was also a young man, yet he had already achieved Body Ascension and recently caused a massive storm in Nanyang. Just hearing the rumors was enough to make his blood boil with excitent. He was extrely curious what kind of person this was, and what sort of abilities he possessed.
Yang Tianhe had the driver stay behind, and the group of four walked toward the villa.
"The four of you, this way please."
Zhou Baiwei had received word and was already waiting at the door.
The mont the group stepped into the villa’s courtyard, they were all visibly taken aback.
For so reason, they felt the air inside the courtyard was much fresher. They felt clear-headed and refreshed, and the heat from outside seed to have vanished.
Everything before their eyes seed to beco sharper, the colors more vivid and bright. In contrast, the scene outside the courtyard looked gray and dusty, as if covered by a layer of haze.
Although it was just a simple scene, it gave them a completely different feeling.
"Transcendence and Truth, a Wisdom Blessing, a Bright Light Barrier, a Condensation Dojo?!"
Zhang Wenyuan seed to have a revelation and couldn’t help but blurt it out.
According to legend, so great figures who have attained the Dao are naturally accompanied by a Dao Field. Within a certain distance of it, one’s mind can find peace, thoughts beco clear, and it can even wipe away confusion, inspiring wisdom and making it easier for people to attain enlightennt.
The reason why encountering a great master preaching the scriptures in ancient tis was considered a heaven-sent opportunity was precisely because of the existence of the Dao Field they had condensed.
An incredulous look appeared in Zhang Wenyuan’s eyes. This kind of ability was only seen in legendary figures and was the result of many years of accumulated Cultivation. But how long ago did this person achieve Ascension, to already possess such an ability?
Based on the stories he had heard, he had assud the man was a vicious person whose forte was slaughter. He never expected him to be a person of great virtue who possessed the power of universal salvation.
