Urban Martial Saint

Shen Qianyue directly took the medicine, leaving everyone in the room momentarily stunned. Particularly Zhao Chengshuang—his eyes were wide open.

Billions, just like that, transferred from Ye Qing’s hands to Shen Qianyue’s?

Seeing Shen Qianyue holding the medicine bottle, Ye Qing felt somewhat dissatisfied as well. However, since the man was from the Shen family, he couldn’t really say anything. He just slowly nodded and said, ”Mr. Shen is right, this belongs to the Shen family and should not be shared outside. Miss Shen, I appreciate your kindness, thank you.”

A sigh also flashed across Shen Qingyi’s face as she slowly shook her head, saying nothing, just standing quietly on the spot.

Shen Qianyue smiled faintly at Ye Qing and said, ”Mr. Ye, when did you arrive? Why didn’t you let me know, so I could have joined you for a couple of drinks?”

”Well... that won’t be necessary, I’m quite busy in the evening, I need to hurry back…” Ye Qing waved his hand and said, ”Some other time perhaps, we’ll talk another day!”

”That’s fine!” Shen Qianyue nodded, smiling, ”Mr. Ye, just remember, you owe me a meal!”

”No problem, some other time for sure!” Ye Qing said awkwardly. The sudden appearance of Shen Qianyue significantly disrupted his emotions.

Not wanting to linger, Ye Qing waved his hands to everyone and said, ”In that case, I won’t disturb everyone any longer!”

”Hey, where are you going?” Seeing Ye Qing about to leave, Zhao Chengshuang stared and said, ”You’ve finished your business, just like that?”

”What else is there?” Ye Qingqi asked.

”Weren’t you supposed to deliver flowers to cousin Qingyi?” Zhao Chengshuang said, ”Where are the flowers? You’re planning to leave without giving them to her?”

Only then did Ye Qing remember, he hastily pulled out the clothes tied in a bag, which had sunflowers he had just dug up from the woods wrapped inside.

From a distance, Shen Qianyue glanced and couldn’t help but smile faintly, ”Mr. Ye, what kind of flowers are you sending?”

Holding the sunflower, Ye Qing was indeed somewhat embarrassed. However, he still handed the sunflower to Shen Qingyi, saying, ”Miss Shen, last time you mentioned you liked this flower, I... I saw a few pretty ones while passing by and dug them up for you. If you plant them in a pot, they should survive!”

Shen Qianyue smiled faintly while watching Shen Qingyi; Lin Huayu and Zhao Chengshuang both wore frustrated expressions. They had seen many people give flowers, but it was the first time seeing someone give sunflowers. Ye Qing’s gesture was really unorthodox, wasn’t it?

However, upon seeing the sunflower, Shen Qingyi was greatly excited, hurriedly took it from Ye Qing, and joyfully said, ”Ye, you still remember that! They’re so beautiful, thank you!”

Cradling the clothes and holding the sunflowers, Shen Qingyi was more delighted than any girl receiving a thousand roses, which immediately stunned the three people beside her.

Seeing such an expression on Shen Qingyi, Ye Qing finally took a long breath. Regardless, Shen Qingyi liked the flowers, which gave him some comfort.

Lin Huayu and Zhao Chengshuang stared dumbfounded at each other, both perplexed by the situation. Sending sunflowers works?

Shen Qianyue, however, widened his eyes; he hadn’t expected Shen Qingyi to react like this, it was totally unexpected.

After delivering the flowers to Shen Qingyi, Ye Qing didn’t linger. He bid everyone farewell and left with Zhao Chengshuang.

”Damn, Ye Zi, you’re too clever!” Zhao Chengshuang followed Ye Qing, constantly exclaiming, ”A bunch of sunflowers managed to attract the celebrated number one beauty of the Southern Six Provinces? Damn, and here I thought I was a smooth talker, but you understand a girl’s heart way better than I do. Come on, tell me, how did you know she liked sunflowers?”

Ye Qing completely ignored him, drove Zhao Chengshuang to the police station, then directly drove back to Tian Sheng. The Ziyu Chenxiang Pill had been taken by Shen Qianyue, which really annoyed him. However, thinking about the words Shen Qingyi had said earlier, the pill was specifically reserved for him, which sweetened his mood.

He had been at Tian Sheng for less than ten minutes when someone came to see him, none other than White Impermanence.

White Impermanence was still in his neither-dead-nor-alive guise, and seeing Ye Qing, his face still bore that chilling smile, involuntarily making one guarded against him. White Impermanence had ambushed Ye Qing once before, and the issues between Ye Qing and the teahouse were not trifling, which made Ye Qing extra cautious when White Impermanence visited.

”Mr. Bai, visiting me at this hour, are you here to do business?” Ye Qing sat silently watching White Impermanence, his hands ready for action. Should White Impermanence make any suspicious move, he would not hesitate to attack first, resolving him on the spot.

”If it were business, I wouldn’t have come openly!” White Impermanence chuckled, ”We assassins conduct our business in the shadows. Especially against a master like you, Mr. Ye, only a fool would approach directly!”

”Is that so?” Ye Qing smiled faintly, but he did not relax his vigilance in the slightest.

”If you’re not here for business, then what brings you here, Mr. Bai?” Ye Qing said, ”It seems I hardly know Mr. Bai!”

”I am here to kindly request that Mr. Ye make a trip to the teahouse.” White Impermanence stared at Ye Qing and said, ”My master has a few questions to ask Mr. Ye!”

Ye Qing slightly furrowed his brows. The teahouse had a deep grudge against him, so why invite him there now? Moreover, having the Ghost-faced Judge personally request his presence did not bode well!

”Mr. Ye, there’s no need to fear; if my master wanted you dead, he wouldn’t have sent me to invite you so openly!” White Impermanence said with a faint smile, ”My master just has a few simple questions for you, nothing more!”

Ye Qing glanced at White Impermanence for a while and said, ”I’m rather busy here!”

”My master is aware, so he asked me to tell Mr. Ye...” White Impermanence chuckled and said, ”If Mr. Ye agrees to come to the teahouse, from now on, the teahouse will no longer accept any business related to Mr. Ye. This includes everyone around you; the teahouse won’t be taking any business concerning them either!”

These words changed Ye Qing’s expression. If the teahouse could really make such a promise, that would indeed be a cause for celebration.

The teahouse was the strongest assassin intermediary in Shenchuan City, and even in the entire Eastern Province. The most powerful assassins in the Eastern Province usually took jobs through the teahouse. If the teahouse stopped accepting jobs involving Ye Qing and his associates, it meant Ye Qing no longer needed to worry about assassins targeting him or his people, thus removing a major source of anxiety. He had previously suffered significant losses at the hands of these assassins!

After a moment of silence, Ye Qing stood up and followed White Impermanence to the teahouse. He believed White Impermanence’s words, as with the Ghost-faced Judge’s capabilities, killing him would require no contrivances.

He had seen the state of the room after the night the Ghost-faced Judge had fought Tie Yongwen; the entire room had been demolished, the floor tiles were all shattered, and the ground was full of footprints. Tie Yongwen’s strength was unfathomable, and the Ghost-faced Judge had matched him evenly, which spoke volumes about the terrifying strength of the Ghost-faced Judge. Such a person could easily kill Ye Qing by simply showing up!

The teahouse was especially quiet at night; it was generally not a lively place because, when it was, it meant a lot of people were about to die.

Tonight, the teahouse was deserted. As Ye Qing followed White Impermanence inside, the Lady Boss Hu Momo was sitting in the living room brewing tea. Seeing Ye Qing enter, Hu Momo gave him a faint smile and gestured with the cup in her hand, ”This is newly picked Maojian. Would you like some?”

”I don’t mind, every tea tastes the same to me!” Ye Qing responded casually, his eyes discreetly scanning everything inside the teahouse.

The decor inside the teahouse was extremely simple, adorned with ceramic vases and ancient paintings everywhere, looking antique and quite charming.

Ye Qing stood in front of a painting. Although he was not knowledgeable about antiques, he could still tell that these ancient paintings were indeed well done.

”This is a ’Spring Mountain Evening Rain Painting’ by Wu Daozi in his later years.” A cold voice came over, undoubtedly belonging to the Ghost-faced Judge.

Ye Qing turned his head and saw the Ghost-faced Judge, who had already taken a seat by a table inside the hall, slowly sipping his tea.

”Does Mr. Ye also like ancient paintings?” the Ghost-faced Judge asked.

”Not really,” Ye Qing shook his head and said, ”I can’t appreciate these things.”

”We’re alike in that regard...” the Ghost-faced Judge glanced at the painting and said, ”I hang this painting here because it’s worth thirty million!”

”Hahaha...” Ye Qing couldn’t help but laugh, walked to the table, and sat down, saying, ”Mr. Cui really just loves the price of this painting!”

The Ghost-faced Judge looked at Ye Qing and said, ”I think Mr. Ye must also love the price of this painting very much!”

”Everyone loves money,” Ye Qing calmly replied, ”but it depends on how the money is made. Money obtained through other people’s blood, no matter how much, I don’t love!”

”Hehehe...” the Ghost-faced Judge gave a cold laugh, sizing up Ye Qing, said, ”No wonder Senior Tie is willing to help you; your character is very much like his!”

”Birds of a feather flock together, that’s the principle!” Ye Qing glanced at the Ghost-faced Judge and said, ”No wonder Mr. Cui and Uncle Tie can’t become friends!”

”Hahaha...” the Ghost-faced Judge laughed heartily and gave Ye Qing a thumbs up, saying, ”Just as the saying goes, a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. Young man, you’ve got guts!”

”I’m bold because I know you won’t kill me,” Ye Qing said. ”If you were going to kill me, I wouldn’t have come here in the first place, and there wouldn’t be a question of courage!”

”Well said!” the Ghost-faced Judge nodded, saying, ”One can only have courage when they have something to rely on. However, what I can’t understand is, when you first entered Shenchuan City, you had nothing to rely on, yet you still had the audacity to challenge Yang Shitao, challenge the Lin family, and even challenge my teahouse. What were you relying on?”
