"Boss, Qin Xiaoxuan has appeared. He is likely the power behind the two outside."
"According to his own statement, Qin Xiaoxuan is a gold badge recipient of the Martial Arts Association and the son of the leader of the Qing City Martial Arts Association. He wants to use his influence to suppress this matter and have it settled.
Furthermore, the other party intends to forcibly take away the two individuals. This person has a significant background, and the Dragon Investigation Bureau is also troubled by it. By pressuring through the Martial Arts Association, although the association will also suffer if this matter escalates, there are many... within this matter."
Yuan Gang did not elaborate on the later part of his statement because the interests involved behind this matter were too extensive. So far, many things had been uncovered.
These things... represented the darkness of this world, even darker than imagination.
"Leave it to the relevant departments to handle."
Ye Longlin shook his head slightly, understanding Yuan Gang's meaning. It wasn't that he wouldn't intervene, but the implications were too vast. It was not suitable for him to involve others in his work at this time.
"I understand. I have already contacted the National Capital Dragon Investigation Bureau, and the entire matter will be handed over to them. We will handle the Martial Arts Association's issues."
Yuan Gang had been with Ye Longlin for a long time and was very adept at handling such matters, dealing with them efficiently.
Ye Longlin smiled, "Yuan Gang, how long have you been with me?"
Yuan Gang fell silent, not understanding the meaning behind the question, but he still replied, "For eight years, since the third year after the Dragon Pavilion was established."
Ye Longlin looked at the sleeping Xiao Xiao and Mu Hanqi, then gazed out the window, lost in thought.
"Actually, you are already capable of handling things independently."
Yuan Gang finally understood his meaning. After a long silence, he suddenly knelt down, "Boss, the Dragon Pavilion cannot be without you, and we cannot be without you."
...
At the doorway.
The smile on Qin Xiaoxuan's face froze, his expression becoming as calm as still water.
"Director Zhang, do you know what you are saying?" Qin Xiaoxuan confirmed again.
Director Zhang nodded, "I am very sure that these two individuals are extremely important witnesses. Even if they are your people, they must be processed by us. If there is no evidence, we will release them, but if there is evidence...
Let alone your Martial Arts Association, even your association's chief instructor cannot escape accountability!"
After speaking, he narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Qin Xiaoxuan with a half-smile, and continued, "Do you understand what I mean?"
Clearly, he was a tough opponent.
"Are the people inside your backing? If so, have him come out to meet me. I also want to know who it is that dares to disregard the Martial Arts Association."
"Since I debuted, no one has ever dared to offend the Martial Arts Association. Today, I want to witness it firsthand."
As his voice faded, Ye Longlin opened the door and walked out.
This... such a powerful presence in a young man!
Ye Longlin clasped his hands behind his back, his gaze sharp, and most importantly, his overwhelming aura made Qin Xiaoxuan swallow nervously.
"Who are you?"
The other party's demeanor was more outstanding than anyone he had ever met.
Generally speaking, it was difficult for a young person to possess such presence. The other party's background should not be small.
"My surname is Ye, my given name is Longlin."
Ye Longlin smiled faintly, but what was with that inexplicable chill?
"It's a bit inappropriate for you to investigate my fiancée. If you want to know something, I can tell you."
Qin Xiaoxuan spoke, staring at Ye Longlin. As a proud prodigy of the younger generation, his pride would not allow him to back down before a youngster.
He came here for two reasons: first, for these two people, as they were his subordinates.
Second, it was for Tian Shishi.
In Qing City, nothing could escape his eyes. Since they began investigating Tian Shishi, Qin Xiaoxuan had been watching them.
"You don't know that Tian Shishi is a composite person?"
The implication was that Tian Shishi possessed many things that did not belong to her.
It pointed a finger at the Tian family.
Qin Xiaoxuan suddenly laughed, "I have heard of you, Ye Longlin. You crippled Tian Yifei a while ago and caused the Tian family to lose many elites. I must admire your connections and methods. However, our Martial Arts Association and the Tian family are not something an ant like you can imagine.
Ants are, after all, ants; they can never see their own weight clearly. Ants fantasizing about defying heaven will always remain the beautiful fantasy of ants.
You should be a smart person. I don't need to teach you what to do. I can overlook your offense if I take these two people away. I also advise you not to anger me, otherwise, when I get angry, you won't be able to bear it."
It seemed that everyone from a prominent family or with a significant background liked to criticize others from a high position, didn't they?
After speaking, Qin Xiaoxuan felt that his threats were not forceful enough. He continued in a deep voice, "I don't care about your origin, your background, or your intentions. I will warn you of one thing: Tian Shishi is my fiancée. If you dare to touch her, you can try!"
"Under the heavens, no one dares to disregard the Martial Arts Association!"
Ye Longlin fell silent. Qin Xiaoxuan nodded with satisfaction, mimicking Ye Longlin by clasping his hands behind his back, as if believing this would enhance his presence.
"Be sensible and kneel down to apologize to me, and I can forgive your disrespect!"
The implication was that he had offended Qin Xiaoxuan and should kneel and apologize.
Ye Longlin chuckled, "Let alone you, even the Martial Arts Association's chief instructor would not dare to be as arrogant as you!"
"Arrogant! How dare you slander the chief instructor behind his back, you are seeking death!"
The Martial Arts Association, much like the Dragon Pavilion, revered the chief instructor as a deity.
It was as if someone had spoken ill of Ye Longlin; Yuan Gang and Xuan Niao would not have let it slide.
A whip kick suddenly flew towards Ye Longlin, aiming directly for his head.
Ye Longlin lightly raised his right hand and snapped his fingers.
In an instant, with him at the center, everything around him seemed to be frozen!
"Do you know what beings above the Martial Spirit are called?"
At that moment, myriad dragon-elephants roared ferociously, their cries deafening, causing blood to flow.
After that single finger movement, Qin Xiaoxuan was seen kneeling on the ground, his eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment. He looked powerlessly at his drooping hands, his qi and blood stiff, his limbs icy cold.
He was enveloped by an immense sense of dread!
His martial heart was shattered at that very moment.
As a martial artist, one should advance courageously, regardless of what lies ahead, breaking through with one's own strength!
But... this wall named Ye Longlin was perhaps a peak he would never be able to climb in his lifetime!
The myriad Dragon-Elephant realm... he didn't know if the chief instructor had reached this height!
Ye Longlin, with his hands in his pockets, looked down at him from above, "Although you have a trace of my youthful demeanor from when I was twenty, you brought this upon yourself."
"Do you know why your chief instructor only dares to style himself as 'Eight Thousand Years'?"
Suddenly, Qin Xiaoxuan looked up, as if a possibility had dawned upon him, his body trembling even more violently...
Ye Longlin bared his white teeth and said, "Because I am still above him. If that were not the case, why would he not dare to style himself as 'Nine Thousand Years'?"
