Urban Martial Saint

When Chen Tian’s men went to clean up the area, Fire Butterfly nodded with satisfaction and followed Ye Qing up the stairs. Initially, Chen Tian had not intended to go upstairs, but after receiving a stern look from Fire Butterfly, he had no choice but to obediently follow them.

Ye Qing arranged Fire Butterfly in a luxurious private room and Chen Tian in the adjacent room, per Fire Butterfly’s request. It seemed that Fire Butterfly intentionally wanted Chen Tian next to her, planning to personally keep this troublemaker under control.

To be honest, Chen Tian had been so terrified by Fire Butterfly that he was nearly wetting himself and wouldn’t dare cause any more trouble. Now that he was placed next to Fire Butterfly’s room, there was no question about it; he didn’t even dare leave his room, hoping the event would end quickly so he could take his men back to Western Province and never see Fire Butterfly, this crazed figure, again!

After settling the two, Ye Qing then walked into Fire Butterfly’s room.

Fire Butterfly’s subordinates did not come upstairs, only the old man and those three girls beside her were present. One of the girls was even holding Xu Yingshi’s head in a plastic bag, still dripping with blood, giving a truly spine-chilling sensation, while she casually cracked sunflower seeds...

”Ms. Mu, thank you for what happened earlier!” Ye Qing said sincerely, as he really didn’t know how to handle the situation himself. Fire Butterfly had easily defused the situation, truly helping him out tremendously.

”You don’t need to thank me, I only did what I needed to do. The entire Xu Cunxiao family deserves to die. Anyone from the Xu family who meets me won’t leave alive. Today was just about recovering some interest; it has nothing to do with you!” Fire Butterfly waved her hand and said, ”Ye Qing, you don’t owe me, and I don’t owe you. I’m here today to attend your opening ceremony first because you sent an invitation, and I gave you face. Secondly...”

Fire Butterfly gave a cold smile and said, ”Today’s event at the Southern Suburbs Dogfight Arena is bound to be lively. Also, I have some enemies likely showing up, I’m here for revenge. So, don’t celebrate too soon; the one who might disrupt your opening ceremony could still be me!”

Ye Qing’s heart skipped a beat. He looked at Fire Butterfly, who wore a stern expression, making it hard to tell if she was joking or serious. But knowing Fire Butterfly’s character, she could indeed do something like this.

Ye Qing said, ”Nevertheless, Ms. Mu, your presence today honors me. Please, have a seat here. If you need anything, feel free to have the waiter fetch me!”

”When I need something, it might be time to kill. Call you? Would you help me?” Fire Butterfly sneered and said, ”Forget it. Just attend to your own tasks. Tonight, no matter how many I kill here, it’s none of your business!”

Ye Qing gave a faint smile, said nothing more, and left the room, closing the door slowly behind him.

Just as Ye Qing left, the old man beside couldn’t help asking, ”Young Master, if you said you wouldn’t help him, why did you lock Chen Tian in the room next to us? He isn’t on our list!”

”So what!” Fire Butterfly glanced at him and said, ”This is the Master’s order. He is a direct disciple of Third Master Li, and the Master wants to see what kind of person Third Master Li has chosen to send out. Don’t forget, after Old Wang Ba met Ye Qing last time, he has been missing for a while. When Old Wang Ba was on the run, he took away half of the Geomancy Classic from the Master Strategist; he must have seen something crucial!”

”So the Young Master means…” The elder glanced outside and whispered, ”Li Changqing intends to stir the waters in the South with him?”

”Possibly. He is indeed the one Third Master Li picked to use against us.” Fire Butterfly said coldly, ”Third Master Li disregarded advice back then and insisted on heading south to compete with Shen Tianjun, resulting in the current situation. The Master has been targeted by that undying old man and hasn’t been able to step out of Meng District. Otherwise, would it be Ye Qing’s turn to stir the waters in the South?”

Fire Butterfly’s voice clearly carried some anger as she spoke, apparently harboring resentment toward Third Master Li in her heart.

The elder bowed his head in silence, well aware of this situation himself. Indeed, because of that duel, Fire Butterfly was entrusted with a critical role early on and was sent to West Gate at eighteen, where she fought her way to claim her own dominion. Just when she was ready to make a significant move, Ye Qing emerged in Shenchuan City, disrupting many of their plans. Perhaps Fire Butterfly felt more anger and dissatisfaction toward Ye Qing!

After Fire Butterfly’s interference downstairs, the newcomers became much more cautious, especially the minor forces from Shenchuan City. Originally coming to enjoy the spectacle, after witnessing such a grand scene, these folks instantly sobered up, not daring to harbor other thoughts, and humbly let Ye Qing and Li Lianshan assign their rooms.

Around seven, twenty more cars arrived at the main courtyard gate, belonging to another gang from Western Province. They were also here to cause trouble, having coordinated with Xu Yingshi and Chen Tian to stir up a scene together. However, upon arriving at the gate and not finding Xu Yingshi and Chen Tian, they were greatly surprised—had the plan changed?

While these people were stuck at the gate, undecided whether to go in or continue blocking the entrance, a sedan suddenly drove up, bearing Dongzhou license plates.

Everyone upstairs was watching the situation below, and Chen Tian, seeing those people blocking the gate, anxiously made calls trying to get them inside quickly, urging them not to cause trouble. Meanwhile, the focus of others turned to the car with Dongzhou license plates. Anyone from the Eastern Province could guess what a Dongzhou license plate implied.

”Poisonous Mantis! This woman has also come!” Shangguan Tian clenched his fists, his face turning exceptionally pale.

Li Wenyuan furrowed his brows deeply. One Fire Butterfly was enough to shock them, and now a Poisonous Mantis had arrived too—what did this mean? Was Ye Qing’s influence really that significant? The two most enchanting women of the Eastern Province had both arrived; the grand opening at the Southern Suburbs Dogfight Arena definitely had no issues in terms of prestigious attendance!

”Fortunately, she didn’t bring many people, no cause for concern!” Pi Junchao whispered.

Shangguan Tian glanced at him and said coldly, ”Have you forgotten how the Tiger King died?”

Pi Junchao was momentarily stunned. The time the Tiger King was killed, the Poisonous Mantis had also arrived in just one car. You can’t judge the combat power of such demon-like women by their numbers!

Upstairs, Fire Butterfly slightly furrowed her brows and coldly watched the car, slowly uttering four words: ”Huangfu Ziyu!”

The elder beside her said coldly, ”The Huangfu family has long declined. She’s the only one left, unable to even pass on the Huangfu surname. What big waves can she still make?”

Fire Butterfly didn’t speak, only staring intently at the car. For her, whether the Huangfu family had declined was not the point. The crucial fact was that, since she had entered the West Gate, the name Huangfu Ziyu had always overshadowed hers, as if they were born rivals. Between her and Huangfu Ziyu, they definitely needed to settle on a winner—it was just a matter of time and opportunity. However, neither she nor the current Huangfu Ziyu were likely there to settle that score because both had many other issues to tackle!

Seeing the car from Dongzhou, Ye Qing knew Huangfu Ziyu had arrived, and he also knew about Huangfu Ziyu’s temper. This woman was capricious, making normal communication impossible. The people still blocking the doorway, if they annoyed Huangfu Ziyu later, it might be that those at the forefront would have to leave their heads behind!

”Li, you watch here. Take them inside first,” Ye Qing called out and hurried over to Huangfu Ziyu’s car. Just as he was about to speak, four more cars drove through the entrance.

The one at the front was Zhao Chengshuang’s car; surely it was Zhao Chengshuang who had come. The car behind was Lin Huayu’s favorite. The next two cars, one bore a Xi Hang license plate, the other a Shenchuan City license plate.

”Ye Zi!” Zhao Chengshuang got out from the front car, swinging his arms vigorously to greet Ye Qing.

Meanwhile, Huangfu Ziyu’s car window also rolled down just in time. A pale jade hand stretched out from the window, a red string tied around the wrist. Between red and white, there was a striking temptation.

Ye Qing waved back at Zhao Chengshuang and then turned to look inside the car. Huangfu Ziyu’s peerless beauty, no matter when observed, always made one’s heart skip a beat involuntarily.

”Miss Huangfu,” Ye Qing said softly, ”thank you for coming to attend this grand opening.”

Huangfu Ziyu smiled faintly and replied, ”Don’t mention it. My coming might not necessarily be a good thing.”

Ye Qing felt a pang of frustration. Huangfu Ziyu’s words were exactly like what Chen Si had said—could it be she was also preparing to seek revenge?

Just then, a few people also descended from Zhao Chengshuang’s car. Lin Huayu was sitting in the second car and ran over to Ye Qing, excitedly saying, ”Ye, Ye!”

Lin Huayu had fewer concerns and didn’t understand what the implications of a Dongzhou license plate were. She walked directly over to Ye Qing and hugged his arm, excitedly saying, ”I talked it over with dad, and he agreed to let Ms. Mu and me represent him at the opening ceremony. How about that, are we welcome?”

Only then did Ye Qing notice Mu Qingrong getting out of the car behind. She was watching Ye Qing from afar, a slight smile on her face.

”Welcome, of course, welcome!” Ye Qing smiled and waved at Mu Qingrong, then said to Lin Huayu, ”Huayu, go find your Li and have him arrange a nice room for you. I’ll come up to see you in a while.”

”Okay, Ye, make sure you come up soon!” Lin Huayu said and glanced back at the car; suddenly she exclaimed, ”Oh! She’s so beautiful, almost as much as my cousin!”

Ye Qing was taken aback. Huangfu Ziyu was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. Could there really be someone more beautiful than her in this world?
