The man said indifferently, "Our words are our evidence. Get out of the car!"
Ye Tian understood that these people intended to snatch the painting. Without the painting in his hands, there would be no dispute over its authenticity. Da Feng Novel Network.
Ye Tian said calmly, "Go back and tell your boss, you made the first move. The war has begun!"
Several men in black felt their vision blur and promptly fainted. They only regained consciousness after Ye Tian's car had driven away from the scene.
"A master!" one of the men in black exclaimed. "Notify the second boss immediately!"
At Jin Shi Tang, the old man who had previously appraised the painting for Ye Tian received the call and frowned deeply. Not long after, a middle-aged man walked in and said, "Master Zhuo, we've encountered a tough opponent. My men say this person is likely a Martial King."
The old man asked, "If he's a Martial King, can we not touch him?"
The middle-aged man replied, "We can touch him, but there's a risk. If we provoke this person too much, he could wipe out Jin Shi Tang in one night, putting all the bosses in danger."
The old man's face turned grim. "Are Martial Kings that difficult to deal with?"
The middle-aged man explained, "They are not like us. They rely on their skills to walk the world. If you want to bully someone like that, you either kill them. If you can't kill them, they will kill us."
The old man paced back and forth, then asked, "What does the big boss say?"
The middle-aged man said, "The big boss said that it was your idea to put out that painting in the first place. What should we do? You decide, old man."
The old man sneered, "The big boss is pushing me out. It's fine. I, Zhuo, have navigated the martial world for forty years and seen all sorts of storms. Chen Gang, you'll accompany me to see Grandfather!"
The middle-aged man named Chen Gang looked at him, "Master Zhuo, you intend to ask Grandfather to intervene. But dealing with someone like a Martial King is no small matter, and Grandfather might not agree to help you."
Master Zhuo said calmly, "For fifteen years, I've helped him collect so many valuable items. He owes me a favor."
Chen Gang said no more and replied, "Alright, I'll prepare the car immediately."
Soon after, Ye Tian returned to his residence. He called Ren Ping and asked him to visit him when he had time.
Ren Ping happened to be off that day and drove over quickly. Seeing such a beautiful garden residence, he couldn't help but say, "Brother, if I argue with my wife again, I'll come here to live."
Ye Tian laughed, "Sure, I'll give you a key. You can come anytime."
Ren Ping said, "Yanran, Ye Tian and I have something to discuss. You go and attend to your business."
Huang Yanran rolled her eyes at him but obediently left.
Ye Tian asked, "Old Ren, what is it that she can't know?"
Ren Ping replied, "Although I'm off today, I'm actually preparing for something. A big figure from the Eastern Isles has secretly infiltrated our country, and my people are currently tracking him. This person is the son of the Eastern Isles' Ninja Emperor. If we can capture him, we can exchange him for our own people who are being held by the Eastern Isles."
Ye Tian asked, "Why did this person come here?"
Ren Ping said, "We're still investigating. I'll inform you as soon as I have any news."
Ye Tian considered for a moment, "Alright, I'll help you capture this person!"
Ren Ping's eyes lit up. "With your word, I'm relieved. Those mere two Ninja Kings are definitely no match for you."
Ye Tian said, "First, let's find out the purpose of his visit. After all, such a prominent figure wouldn't risk coming here without a reason."
Ren Ping replied, "We're already making progress. I expect we'll know their true purpose within two or three days."
Afterward, Ye Tian asked Bai Yu and Zi Qing to prepare some wine, and they drank and chatted with Ren Ping.
As dusk approached, Ren Ping, slightly tipsy, went to the private karaoke room to sing. Although he was tone-deaf, he loved to sing. Huang Yanran covered her ears the entire time, while Zi Qing and Bai Yu also wore strange expressions.
As Ye Tian was a cultivator with a long breath, he sang songs of extremely high difficulty. Although his pitch wasn't particularly accurate, his performance was full of spirit.
Huang Yanran used Ye Tian's phone to take several videos of him. After finishing his songs, Ye Tian posted on his social media, boasting about his singing skills.
Suddenly, an old acquaintance, Zhou Yinfu, whom he hadn't contacted in a long time, left a message: "Ye Tian, which KTV are you at? We'll come find you."
Seeing the name, Ye Tian thought for a moment before remembering. This was a classmate from university. He hadn't been in touch since he was imprisoned.
Since his social media post had location tagging, it was difficult for him to refuse. He said, "Sure, I'll send you the address." With that, he sent his address to the person.
