"Let go!"
"No, you haven't even gotten married yet!"
Amidst the endless disputes between the two won, the car arrived at the entrance of Kyoto University. After getting off, the three of them headed directly towards Qin Ruong's private villa inside Kyoto University.
Before reaching the place, they could already see an old man waiting in front of the villa from a distance.
Qin Ruong couldn't help but frown slightly, her expression changing subtly. This old man was Uncle Fu, the head steward of the Qin Family. Even he ca here! It seems grandpa has sothing important to discuss this ti!
"Miss, you're back."
Seeing Qin Ruong approaching quickly, Uncle Fu smiled, bowed, and pushed open the villa's door.
"Where's grandpa?" Qin Ruong asked.
"The old master is upstairs. Please take a seat; I'll call him down."
With that, Uncle Fu turned and went up to the second floor of the villa.
Looking at the luxurious villa hall, Ye Tianfan couldn't help but marvel. It's just a temporary transition place, yet it's decorated so opulently. Could the Qin Family's wealth have co from a windfall?
While Ye Tianfan was calculating how much it would cost to decorate such a luxurious villa, a strong and vigorous voice suddenly ca from the second floor.
"Ruong, an esteed guest has arrived, don't you know to serve tea?"
Following the voice, they saw Elder Qin slowly descending the staircase from the second floor.
At this mont, Elder Qin seed completely different from the ill deanor he had while lying in the hospital before; it was as if he had beco a different person, with an indescribable aura of authority.
As Elder Qin's gaze swept over, Ye Tianfan couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
Elder Qin's eyes seed like bottomless black holes, his cloudy, tiworn pupils seed capable of seeing through one's soul.
Watching Elder Qin slowly descending from the second floor, Ye Tianfan couldn't help but frown slightly.
An eye that can seemingly penetrate one's soul is not sothing everyone can possess.
Ye Tianfan considered his cultivation not low and had seen many of the top experts in China, but he had never seen such eyes.
Elder Qin had no sign of internal ancient martial arts energy; he was neither an Ancient Martial Cultivator nor a Cultivation Technique inheritor. Yet why did those eyes make one feel a deep chill?
Eyes that pierce the heart are even more terrifying than those filled with murderous intent!
At this mont, Yao Lingshan's barely audible voice also reached Ye Tianfan's ears.
"My grandpa once said, this old man is extraordinary, known as Sai Zhuge. Today, I finally see him in person."
Ye Tianfan's engagent was arranged by Elder Qin, and Yao Lingshan's face also showed a hint of gloom at this mont, clearly not friendly towards this elder.
When she left dicine King Valley, she had already learned about Elder Qin's exploits from the old Valley Master.
It's said that Elder Qin possesses extraordinary wisdom, with the ability to strategize and achieve victory from a thousand miles away. Although he cannot foresee the future, he always manages to grasp the course of events and stay one step ahead.
It seems that, in so mysterious way, Elder Qin had already arranged the Qin Family's direction for the next fifty years, otherwise, how could there be the matter of an engagent?
Watching Elder Qin slowly approach from the second floor, Ye Tianfan quickly cupped his hands in salute. Regardless, Elder Qin was an elder and also a sworn brother with the Ye Family elder. As a junior, he couldn't be disrespectful.
Elder Qin slightly nodded at Ye Tianfan as a gesture of return, then shifted his gaze to Yao Lingshan with a smile, saying.
"Miss Yao, coming from afar, you are truly an honored guest. How is the old Valley Master?"
Yao Lingshan perford a traditional bow according to the old customs and replied, "Thanks to your blessing, he is in good health."
At this mont, Elder Qin slightly turned his gaze towards Qin Ruong and said, "Have the Qin Family's hospitality manners been forgotten? Why not serve tea yet?"
Elder Qin's voice carried authority without anger, showing so displeasure.
Qin Ruong frowned slightly; her grandfather was a legendary figure in the Jiangzhou City business realm, and since the young girl here was regarded as an honored guest by him, she must naturally have a special status!
Despite her reluctance, Qin Ruong didn't dare to defy him, and quickly bent down to pour the tea.
"Miss Yao, please enjoy the tea."
Yao Lingshan's bright eyes slightly shifted, her face displaying a victorious smile. She accepted the teacup from Qin Ruong's hand and cheerfully said, "Then I won't be polite."
Seeing Yao Lingshan's smug expression, Qin Ruong was seething but helpless.
At this mont, Elder Qin personally picked up a teacup, handed it to Ye Tianfan, and said, "Xiao Ye, it was thanks to you for saving this ti. Otherwise, this old man truly would have t his end."
"Elder, what are you talking about? I don't understand a thing!" Ye Tianfan feigned ignorance and said, "Have I t you before?"
If it were an ordinary person, they would definitely be fooled by Ye Tianfan's clueless and bewildered look, but who is Elder Qin!
Approaching the end of his days, having weathered countless storms, Elder Qin saw through Ye Tianfan imdiately, realizing he was lying and denying the truth.
Moreover, in the entire Jiangzhou, apart from those in the Ye Family, Elder Qin believed no one could have saved him.
But since Ye Tianfan did not admit it, there was no need for him to reveal it further.
After all, so things don't need to be made crystal clear.
Even though Elder Qin didn't point it out, he still scrutinized Ye Tianfan with an amused glance.
Facing Elder Qin's scrutiny, Ye Tianfan inwardly smiled bitterly, knowing he couldn't fool this old fellow.
However, he didn't say anything further, and there was no need for him to continue explaining!
Qin Ruong looked at Ye Tianfan with so suspicion.
Previously, Qin Ruong also thought it was Ye Tianfan who saved her grandfather, but now it seems like it wasn't!
Could it be that soone else actually saved her grandfather?
But if it were soone else, who could it be?
And why would they help the Qin Family?
Although her heart was filled with doubts, Qin Ruong didn't dwell on the matter much further.
Qin Ruong, though not dwelling on the matter, couldn't help but speak up, "Grandfather, so late at night, why did you call us here…"
Qin Ruong was hesitant to speak; the usually domineering eldest daughter of the Qin Family was full of respect and fear for her grandfather. She respected his leadership in steering the Qin Family through challenges, dominating the business realm for decades without a defeat. Yet she feared his eccentric temper, which would flare up over any minor misspoken word.
So when speaking in front of her grandfather, Qin Ruong always treaded carefully.
Moreover, Elder Qin calling her, Ye Tianfan, and Yao Lingshan over piqued Qin Ruong's curiosity, so she couldn't help but ask.
Elder Qin glanced at Qin Ruong, pondered for a mont, and said, "Alas, this ti the Qin Family has encountered a formidable adversary, I'm afraid we need the Ye Family's assistance…"
As he spoke, Elder Qin's gaze seed to intentionally or unintentionally sweep over Ye Tianfan!
As soon as Elder Qin spoke, Qin Ruong's delicate body trembled suddenly. Her grandfather, who had dominated the business world for decades without a loss, had encountered an adversary?
What kind of formidable foe could make her grandfather co out at this late hour and even require the Ye Family's help?
More importantly, what kind of family is the Ye Family?
Although Qin Ruong knew the Ye Family was powerful, being an Ancient dical Family, she didn't know what kind of family the Ye Family truly was!
Now that the crisis facing the Qin Family requires the Ye Family's intervention, Qin Ruong looked at her grandfather, full of white hair, with disbelief, her brows tightly knitted.
At this mont, Ye Tianfan also couldn't help but frown slightly. Although he didn't know much about Elder Qin, just with Elder Qin's eyes that could pierce through a person's heart, coupled with his skill in strategic planning and foresight, it wasn't hard to detect that this old man was no ordinary person.
"Grandfather, there haven't been many fluctuations in the business world recently, who…"
Qin Ruong quickly went through all the major business families in her mind but didn't find a group or company that could rival the Qin Family.
Only to hear Elder Qin sigh deeply, his deep eyes flashing with an unknown brilliance, he said in a low voice, "The storm is approaching… the great edifice will fall, what should co is bound to co…"
As he said this, Elder Qin's gaze swept over Ye Tianfan and Qin Ruong, and he couldn't help but sigh again, saying, "So crises, you cannot see, the Jiangzhou business realm, I fear is about to be in turmoil, and the Qin Family cannot be an exception unless the Ye Family intervenes, only then perhaps the Qin Family can remain safe!"
Seeing Elder Qin's face full of lancholy, Qin Ruong's heart suddenly tightened. Since she was a child, the Qin Family had gone through many storms, and her grandfather had always been calm and resolved crises with ease, like the stabilizing anchor of the Qin Family. She always felt that with her grandfather around, the Qin Family would not fall!
But this ti, he showed a lancholy expression!
