553: Chapter 553: Shock 553: Chapter 553: Shock “Fang Bai has co to Lingnan, do you have any business to attend to?”
A few people sat in the living room, discussing the topic of “Wrathful Beauties,” when Ye Xing once again brought up the purpose of Fang Bai’s visit to Lingnan.
When they first t, Ye Xing addressed Fang Bai as “Mr.
Fang” to show respect, but later Fang Bai told Ye Xing to just call him by his na, so Ye Xing smoothly made the switch.
“If there’s anything you need help with, just let know!
In Lingnan, my word still carries so weight!”
Ye Xing added.
As the family head of the Ye Family and the top authority in Yuezhou Province, Ye Xing wielded great influence in both political and business circles in Lingnan.
Saying that his words were as weighty as nine tripods was not an exaggeration; many people would give face to him.
Fang Bai smiled and said, “Actually, I don’t have any particular business.
I mainly wanted to co over and guide Wui in her cultivation.”
Fang Bai didn’t tell Ye Xing and his wife that he was planning to set up a Gathering Essence Array by the sea for Ye Wui.
He thought it was better to keep such matters as secret as possible to prevent Ye Wui from being disturbed while cultivating in the formation.
“That’s wonderful!”
Upon hearing that Fang Bai had co specifically to guide his daughter in her cultivation, Ye Xing was overjoyed.
Others might not know Fang Bai’s capabilities, but Ye Xing did.
His daughter Ye Wui had made rapid progress in her strength after following Fang Bai’s teachings in cultivation techniques and martial arts for just half a year.
Now, even he, her father, was no match for her, which demonstrated the wondrous abilities of Fang Bai.
Ye Wui’s cultivation in the past mostly involved her studying and deducing on her own at ho.
Only occasionally would she make a trip to Yanjing to consult Fang Bai, now that he was here in person to provide guidance, Ye Xing saw this as a rare opportunity.
His daughter’s strength might climb to new heights because of it.
As a mber of the Ye Family, the stronger Ye Wui beca, the greater the benefits were for the Ye Family.
Moreover, maintaining this ntor-friend relationship with Fang Bai was sothing Ye Xing was pleased to see.
Should the Ye Family ever encounter a crisis, Fang Bai would surely not stand idly by.
“Wui, you must be diligent and focused while cultivating with Fang Bai.
Do not slack off even the slightest!
The Ye Family is now large in scale, but lacks a truly powerful martial artist at its helm.
I hope that, in the future, you could beco our ‘Sea-Calming Divine Needle’ like Wang Huashan of the Yanjing Wang Family and protect our Ye Family!”
Ye Xing advised earnestly.
Ye Wui laughed lightly and said, “Dad, even Wang Huashan might not be my match now.
I don’t want to be like him!
My goal is to match Fang Bai!”
Ye Xing was taken aback and then exclaid joyfully, “Does that an your strength has progressed further?”
Ye Wui lifted her chin confidently and boasted, “Of course!
Why don’t we have a spar in the courtyard?”
“Fang Bai, is what Wui saying true?”
Ye Xing ignored his daughter’s “challenge” and turned to Fang Bai.
Seeing Fang Bai nod with a smile, he believed her.
“Excellent!”
Ye Xing stood up, excitedly waving his arm, “The Yanjing Wang Family has flourished for decades and remained untouchable because they have Wang Huashan.
Now that we have Wui, our Ye Family will be able to stand even firr in Lingnan!
Tomorrow, I will spread this news to deter those opponents who harbor ill intentions towards the Ye Family!”
Seeing Ye Xing so overjoyed he was nearly losing himself, Fang Bai prepared to throw so cold water on his excitent, asking, “Mr.
Ye, how much do you know about the ‘Wrathful Beauties’ organization?”
Ye Xing hadn’t expected Fang Bai to suddenly bring up this topic again and sat back on the sofa, saying, “All I know is that ‘Wrathful Beauties’ is a killer group renowned internationally, with a rigorous organization, nurous mbers, mostly won, with their sign and code tattooed on their arms…
Beyond that, I know nothing else.
In fact, the understanding that various governnts around the world have of this killer group is pretty much the sa as mine.”
Fang Bai said seriously, “Mr.
Ye, forgive my frankness, but the power of ‘Wrathful Beauties’ is so great that you can’t even imagine.
If they truly go all out against the Ye Family, your family wouldn’t stand a chance and could be wiped out instantly!”
If these words ca from anyone else, Ye Xing would have thought it was an exaggeration, but he couldn’t ignore what Fang Bai said and exclaid in shock, “A re assassin group is that powerful?
I rember when you and Wui went to Yanjing, you encountered an assassin from ‘Wrathful Beauties’ on the way.
Weren’t they just a few Profound Level Martial Artists?
Could it be that they aren’t even their most powerful assassins?”
“Not even close!”
Fang Bai shook his head gravely, “A few days ago, in Zhongzhou, I encountered another assassination attempt from a ‘Wrathful Beauties’ assassin.
Luckily, I escaped unscathed.
There were two of them, and their strength was that of early-stage Earth Level Martial Artists.”
Ye Xing had just picked up a cup of water from the coffee table in front of him and was about to take a sip when he heard this, as if a heavy hamr had struck him hard, causing his hand to tremble violently and almost spilling the tea all over himself.
“Mr.
Fang, be careful!”
Sun Lin saw her husband’s gaffe, glared at him, and lightly scolded.
“You’re saying…
the ones who tried to assassinate you were ‘Wrathful Beauties’ assassins?
Two early-stage Earth Level Martial Artists?”
Ye Xing felt his throat go dry, his gaze sowhat vacant as he stared at Fang Bai, and asked hoarsely.
Fang Bai nodded, knowing this news was hard for Ye Xing to accept, for the existence of Earth Level Martial Artists was far beyond his imagination.
Indeed, in Ye Xing’s imagination, the most powerful Martial Artists in the secular world were at the Profound Level, while Earth Level Martial Artists were supposed to exist only in the tales of the Hidden Sect World.
Fang Bai hadn’t wanted to bring up this incident to avoid causing panic among the Ye Family, but seeing Ye Xing lose his composure just now, he decided after so thought to reveal it, hoping to garner the Ye Family’s utmost attention.
“What do we do…
what do we do…”
Ye Xing sat on the sofa, his face pale, murmuring to himself, with a layer of fine sweat already forming on his forehead.
Ye Xing knew that Fang Bai would not lie to him about such matters.
If he said that ‘Wrathful Beauties’ had Earth Level Martial Artists, then they definitely did.
Earth Level Martial Artists, a force far surpassing the Profound Level Martial Artists.
Just as Fang Bai had said earlier, if ‘Wrathful Beauties’ were to send assassins with Earth Level capabilities against the Ye Family, then even if they gave their all, they would not stand a chance and would be dood.
Just then, Ye Xing’s cell phone suddenly began to ring urgently.
“Ye Qian, didn’t I tell you not to disturb my rest at night unless it’s an ergency?”
After pressing the answer button, Ye Xing said sowhat irritably.
The person on the other end of the phone said sothing urgently, and Ye Xing’s eyes widened suddenly as he cried out in shock, “What did you say?
Sothing happened to Xiu’er?”
The person on the phone said a few more things, and Ye Xing’s expression darkened ominously.
When the other party was done, he took a deep breath and said firmly, “Okay, I’ll be right there!”
“Was that a call from Ye Qian?
What happened to Xiu’er?
What happened?”
Sun Lin, although she hadn’t heard what was said on the phone, saw her husband’s deanor and knew sothing major had occurred, and anxiously inquired.
