152: Chapter 152 Qin Ming

“Who is it?”

It was normal for someone to want a piece of the pie; Lin Xiangqian had known this from the very beginning.

“Someone from Yanjing,” Lin Xiangqian replied.

“How is their strength?” Ye Mo followed up.

“The Qin Family, one of the Four Great Families.”

“As for the Qin Family, handle it at your discretion. As long as they aren't too unreasonable, there's no harm in giving them a piece of the pie.”

Ye Mo nodded.

No matter which world it was, one could never keep all the benefits to themselves. Otherwise, people would always come looking for trouble, and Ye Mo couldn't possibly handle every single one of them for such minor matters. As long as the other party didn't make an outrageous demand, it was fine.

Ye Mo walked into the lobby and saw Lin Shishuang walking down the stairs, supported by a woman.

This woman was likely Lin Shishuang's classmate, Lan Waner.

Ye Mo took a few quick steps forward, then led Lin Shishuang over to the sofa.

After Ye Mo exchanged brief greetings with Lan Waner, Lin Xiangqian also sat on the sofa and spoke, “Last month, Third Young Master Qin sent someone to have a brief talk with me. He will probably come in person in a few days.”

Lin Xiangqian frowned; he knew a bit about this Third Young Master Qin.

He was arrogant and overbearing.

Lin Xiangqian worried that this man would have a massive appetite.

Ye Mo didn't reply, but Lan Waner suddenly spoke up, “Grandfather Lin, is this Third Young Master Qin you mentioned Qin Ming?”

“Yes, do you know him?”

Lin Xiangqian looked at Lan Waner curiously, seemingly surprised that she also knew of Qin Ming.

“No, I've only heard of him. Relying on his Family's power, he has always been arrogant, domineering, unyielding, and flamboyant. Grandfather Lin, you should prepare yourself. If Qin Ming really has his eyes on the Lin Family's Shiyan Hall, it won't be easy to deal with.”

Lan Waner said.

Shiyan Hall was the brand name created for the youth preserving solution.

“Yes, thank you for the warning.”

Lin Xiangqian nodded.

Then, his gaze turned to Ye Mo. After Tang Sheng's death, Kunlun hadn't made a single sound. Ye Mo's influence was definitely extremely powerful, so opposing the Qin Family shouldn't be a problem.

He pondered in his heart what kind of attitude he should adopt when facing Qin Ming.

“Grandfather, if the Qin Family wants a share of the profits, they must also show some sincerity. For instance, they could block anyone who has designs on Shiyan Hall, allowing Shiyan Hall to develop steadily. If they just want to take the money without doing any work, you can simply ignore them.”

Ye Mo saw through Lin Xiangqian's thoughts, so he gave him a reassuring word to calm his mind.

Although the Four Great Families of Yanjing were powerful and incomparable to ordinary families, Ye Mo had plenty of ways to deal with them.

“With your words, I can put my mind at ease.” Lin Xiangqian's expression visibly relaxed a lot.

However, Lan Waner, who was standing to the side, frowned.

She knew the power of the Qin Family; there were probably very few families in the country that could compete with them.

Yet Ye Mo spoke so casually, and Lin Xiangqian didn't seem to find anything wrong with it.

Even Lin Shishuang didn't care at all.

It was understandable for Lin Shishuang, as pregnancy could make a woman a bit scatterbrained.

But as the Clan Chief of the Lin Family, how could Lin Xiangqian trust Ye Mo's words so easily?

Could he have gone senile in his old age?

“Grandfather Lin, the future scale of Shiyan Hall will definitely be massive. I think it would be best for you to yield more profits so that it can develop steadily.”

Lan Waner frowned, feeling it was necessary to give them a reminder.

If the Qin Family was unsatisfied, the Lin Family's future development probably wouldn't go so smoothly.

“I know, I will consider it carefully.”

Naturally, Lin Xiangqian wouldn't say too much to Lan Waner, and his tone was clearly perfunctory.

Lan Waner felt that Lin Xiangqian hadn't really listened to her words, but since it was none of her business, she didn't say anything more.

After dinner in the evening, Ye Mo took Lin Shishuang out for a walk, and Lan Waner naturally followed along.

The three of them walked out of Qianlong Villa and then strolled along the path.

There were also many mountain forests near Qianlong Villa, with beautiful scenery, singing birds, and fragrant flowers.

“Ye Mo, I heard from Shishi that you are a Martial Artist. What is your current cultivation level?”

Lan Waner suddenly asked.

Lin Shishuang had told her quite a bit about Ye Mo.

At first, Lan Waner had also been curious about why Lin Shishuang was so set on marrying Ye Mo, but once Lin Shishuang mentioned that Ye Mo was a Martial Artist, she understood.

“Innate.”

Ye Mo replied casually.

“Innate, no wonder then. There are probably very few Innate Martial Artists in Yong City, but...”

Lan Waner paused for a moment, letting her imagination run wild.

Since Ye Mo was at the Innate stage, he probably had almost no rivals in Yong City, which must have made him somewhat arrogant and complacent, not taking the Qin Family of Yanjing seriously.

“But what?”

Ye Mo asked curiously.

He could see that Lan Waner was not a Martial Artist, yet she seemed to know a lot about them.

Lin Shishuang had told Ye Mo about Lan Waner early on; she wasn't from any major Family.

“What I want to say is that the Qin Family is not simple at all. Their Family has a Legacy spanning over a thousand years, with numerous Family members and many geniuses. Innate Martial Artists are by no means rare, and they even have several Grandmasters.”

Lan Waner said with a solemn expression.

She said all this mainly for the sake of Lin Shishuang's Face.

She didn't want Lin Shishuang to lose her husband before the baby was even born.

“How do you know so much?”

Ye Mo asked.

Naturally, Ye Mo wouldn't care about ordinary Martial Artists; at worst, he could just have Cheng Ying pay them a visit again.

“I grew up in Yanjing, so I know the Four Great Families quite well. Ye Mo, I know that you managed to Cultivate to the Innate stage at such a young age, which indeed makes you a Genius. But there are many geniuses in this world. Take Qin Ming, for example; although he is arrogant, it is backed by his own strength. Even though he hasn't made a Breakthrough to Grandmaster, his strength is not inferior to a Grandmaster's at all.”

Lan Waner said in all seriousness.

She spoke very seriously, but she felt as if she were punching cotton, because Ye Mo gave her too little feedback.

She even doubted if Ye Mo had listened to a single word.

“Waner, Ye Mo's strength isn't bad either. He has actually already broken through to the Grandmaster stage.”

Lin Shishuang couldn't watch this go on any longer. She knew Lan Waner was acting in her best interest, but there were some things she couldn't explain clearly to her.

Moreover, she noticed that Ye Mo really didn't seem to have any interest in Lan Waner.

“What? Ye Mo is a Grandmaster?”

Lan Waner was slightly surprised.

“Yes, he was just being modest when he said he was an Innate just now,” Lin Shishuang said.

“A Grandmaster? Then your talent is indeed quite strong... but even if you are a Grandmaster, you are still like an ant to the Qin Family... To the Qin Family, they wouldn't even care about a single Grandmaster. Shishi, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep the youth preserving solution of Shiyan Hall.”

Lan Waner still shook her head.

“Don't worry, if we can't keep it, so be it. We don't rely on this to make a living anyway.”

Lin Shishuang didn't want to keep dwelling on this issue.

For Lin Shishuang now, they didn't lack money, nor did they need it.

“Well, Shishi, you'd better tell your grandfather. If there's really no other way, just give up Shiyan Hall. If you're not careful, this thing could very likely bring about a fatal disaster.”
