After Ye Liuyun brought the two in, Ye Xiong skillfully took out drinks from the refrigerator and handed them over.
"You're quite familiar with this place, aren't you?" Xu Beichen said with interest.
"What do you mean? How could I not be familiar with my big brother's house? Oh, right, quickly tell me what you just told me!" Ye Xiong said anxiously.
Ye Liuyun sat with his legs crossed, eyes narrowed, looking at the two.
Xu Beichen put down the drink in his hand and said seriously, "People from the Qiu Family came to me. They promised me the Qiu Family's resources in exchange for me making a move against you in the league. Although I don't know what happened between you, it seems they're aiming to kill.
You two, you'd better be prepared!"
Ye Liuyun frowned upon hearing this.
"The Qiu Family came to you? Isn't that just extra trouble? Won't their own people make a move?"
To Ye Liuyun, it sounded completely brainless.
The Qiu Family, with such a large power, looking for someone else to deal with him?
What were the people they raised themselves for then?
"No, Brother Yun, you don't understand these people at the top. Even if they all want to kill you in their hearts, they still have to maintain Face.
Moreover, according to the Qiu Family's character, they like to wave a big flag when they do things, and then after the deed is done, they actively push that flag out to be burned.
In short, they won't make it too obvious on the surface," Ye Xiong explained.
He knew the Qiu Family's methods all too well.
"Alright, I really don't quite understand. But are you two on very good terms?" Ye Liuyun looked at Xu Beichen.
"Our relationship was completely fought out. Although we seem like opponents, we're actually incredibly close!" Ye Xiong said, winking.
"Get lost! Don't make people think I'm messing around with you..."
Xu Beichen pushed Ye Xiong away and cursed, then looked at Ye Liuyun.
"Although I, Xu Beichen, like money, I still have some Dao. But not everyone is like me.
As far as I know, our old opponent, Chen Qingshan, has already been taken under your cheap old man's wing!
Who knows when..."
The Chen Qingshan Xu Beichen spoke of was currently the top-ranked student at National Martial Arts University.
He had held the top spot in the entire school for four consecutive years.
"I thought so. After all, that guy values profit, and our relationship with him isn't very good either!" Ye Xiong spread his hands and said.
"Is the information accurate?"
"Are you questioning me? I'm not like you students; I'm a Beast Hunter out there!"
Xu Beichen's voice was full of pride.
The profession of Beast Hunter, as the name suggests, is to hunt Vicious Beasts for reward.
There is a Beast Hunter Guild in Great Xia, and the registration requirement is to kill a second-tier Vicious Beast.
Ye Liuyun had looked into this; he actually wanted to register for one himself once he was settled at school!
Anything related to Vicious Beasts would receive his extra attention.
"If that's the case, why wait for the league? Help me arrange for him to come out, outside the school!"
"Boss, Chen Qingshan's strength is different from mine; he..."
Ye Liuyun looked up at Ye Xiong.
"Are you very strong?"
"I... alright."
In fact, after Ye Liuyun entered Armed State, he only took one hit.
"It's easy to get him out, but what are you planning to do? It's not difficult for the three of us to defeat him.
But even if we defeat him, it won't help. The other party is waiting..."
"Not the three of us, it's me!" Ye Liuyun raised his finger and wiggled it slightly.
He wasn't someone who liked to wait. Since he already knew the other party was going to make a move against him, why wait until then?
Isn't that just asking for trouble? This isn't a duel or a spar; this is a genuine attempt to kill!
So wouldn't it be better to kill the opponent beforehand?
"You want to challenge Chen Qingshan yourself? I'm not saying you won't necessarily..." Xu Beichen's words trailed off, and his expression suddenly froze!
He saw that at some unknown point, Ye Liuyun, who had been on the sofa, had already appeared behind him.
One hand rested lightly on Xu Beichen's shoulder.
"Just do as I say. After it's done, you won't be shortchanged. That's all!" With that, Ye Liuyun went upstairs.
He craved battle!
Xu Beichen hesitated for a moment, then got up and sighed.
Although he really didn't want to admit it, it seemed Ye Liuyun was stronger than him!
Ye Xiong looked at Xu Beichen, winking.
It was as if he was saying, 'How about that? I didn't lose unfairly, did I?'
After returning to his room, Ye Liuyun briefly reported the situation to Wang Mang.
The latter only replied with three words.
"Do it freely!"
Eight PM.
Ye Xiong and Xu Beichen arrived together.
"Today at 3 AM, Liuxiang Mountain, north side of the Imperial Capital."
"OK! Thanks!"
Ye Liuyun nodded.
Starting from National Martial Arts University, he would first collect some interest. If the Qiu Family dared to extend a hand, he would chop it off!
Until all of them were severed!
Headquarters.
General Staff Office.
Wang Mang sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, a cigarette in his mouth.
"Leader, that's the situation. What's the deal with the Qiu Family now? They're not even pretending anymore? Are they going to show their hand?
And I'm not saying this to be rude, but why does it feel like no one is paying attention to the reports I submit?"
The old man in the main seat shook his head slightly.
"Can you put your legs down? You're not a soldier anymore; you're a General of Great Xia!"
His tone was full of doting reproach.
"Have you heard the saying? When a person is too arrogant, disaster strikes; when the sky is too wild, it rains. Their current madness is destined for their demise tomorrow.
The Qiu Family must be dealt with, but not now. Old Qiu still has some energy to struggle. We'll cast the net after Grape Gully is finished!
I also heard what Little Ye said just now. Let him do as he pleases.
Old Xue is too focused on stability, but too much stability leads to stagnation. However, he is still in that position after all.
All of this is being saved up for him. Oh, right, I might need to borrow your little Disciple for a while sometime soon."
Wang Mang was unsettled by these words.
"Old Tang, what do you mean?"
"I plan to use him as a stepping stone, sending him to the Western Front to be the Captain of the Supervisory Brigade!"
"No! It's too dangerous! He's my last Disciple, Old Tang, you can't use his life to..." Wang Mang stood up, frowning deeply, his voice unconsciously growing heavier.
Tang Guosheng waved his hand down.
"Look at you, getting anxious again, aren't you? How could I possibly trade a life? This is just an excuse!
I also value this little fellow! Could I do such a thing?"
"Anyway, I don't agree. The situation on the front line is unclear. If the Qiu Family wants to do something, it'll be impossible to prevent!
This is going to his death! I don't agree!"
Wang Mang shook his head, refusing.
Are you kidding? Ye Liuyun going to the Western Front would be like sending him into a tiger's den!
"At that time, I will have people from Limit Martial Hall infiltrate the team and go with him. You don't get a say in this matter.
I still need to ask Ye Liuyun for his opinion, after all, he is also my soldier!"
Tang Guosheng slapped the table and stood up, preparing to leave.
But then he suddenly realized this was his own office.
So he looked at Wang Mang and said,
"Get out of here!"
...Three AM.
A person carrying a long spear climbed towards the mountain peak in the night, moving swiftly...
