Chapter 1 Liang Sen Cheng's Confusion

Although Liang Sen Cheng was puzzled, he didn't ask too many questions. However, it was the first time he had seen Yuan Mu Ye in such a state, and he found it quite amusing.

As soon as they entered the hotel, a man in a black suit approached them.

The suited man looked coldly at Liang Sen Cheng and Yuan Mu Ye and asked, "Are you Mr. Liang Sen Cheng?"

Liang Sen Cheng nodded.

"My master sent me to pick you up. Follow me!"

With that, the suited man walked towards the elevator.

Yuan Mu Ye glanced at Liang Sen Cheng, signaling him to follow.

The two followed the suited man into the elevator. The three stood close together, and no one spoke, making the atmosphere somewhat cold.

A moment later, the elevator stopped on the third floor.

The three exited the elevator one after another, and the suited man led them into a VIP room.

In the private room, besides Shangguan Hao, there were also Ouyang Qingming and a woman they had never seen before.

The woman wore a red cloak, and the hood covered her eyes, so only half of her face was visible.

Yuan Mu Ye glanced at the woman. The woman's bright red lips were particularly striking.

Shangguan Hao saw Liang Sen Cheng and immediately showed a smile on his face, saying in a gentle tone, "Sen Cheng, you've finally arrived."

Liang Sen Cheng looked coldly at Shangguan Hao. After sitting down, he said, "Just tell me directly what you want me here for!"

"Don't be so impatient. Shouldn't old friends have a lot to talk about when they reunite?" Shangguan Hao said with a smile.

Then, he asked the suited man to call the waiter to bring the dishes.

Liang Sen Cheng didn't want to waste words with Shangguan Hao at all, snorting coldly, he said, "If it were before, I might have something to say to you, but now, forget it!"

In fact, even if Shangguan Hao didn't say it, Liang Sen Cheng knew what he wanted to say.

For a moment, the atmosphere became a little awkward.

Shangguan Hao smiled and looked at Yuan Mu Ye next to Liang Sen Cheng, saying, "Is this your girlfriend? Pretty beautiful. Introduce her!"

Liang Sen Cheng was stunned. He didn't expect Yuan Mu Ye to be mistakenly thought of as his girlfriend.

But thinking about it, it was hard not to think they were related with Yuan Mu Ye in his current appearance.

It didn't matter. Anyway, he didn't come here to clarify his relationship with Yuan Mu Ye.

It was fine if they thought Yuan Mu Ye was his girlfriend, that way they wouldn't suspect Yuan Mu Ye's identity.

"You must be Young Master Shangguan. Sen Cheng has mentioned you to me. I'm called Little Butterfly, and I haven't been dating Little Cheng for long."

Yuan Mu Ye spoke before Liang Sen Cheng could respond to Shangguan Hao.

Shangguan Hao looked at Yuan Mu Ye with a smile, his eyes a little strange. After a moment, he said, "Little Butterfly, what an interesting name. Are you a local of Yuncity?"

"No." Yuan Mu Ye spoke in a forced voice, which made his voice a little hoarse.

After chatting for a few more sentences, Liang Sen Cheng couldn't help but interrupt them, "Alright, Shangguan Hao, what exactly do you want to say?"

"Sen Cheng, we've known each other for so many years, can't you really guess why I asked you to come here?"

Shangguan Hao pursed his lips, looking at Liang Sen Cheng.

"If it's still about the last matter, I advise you to give up on that idea as soon as possible! I will never agree." Liang Sen Cheng said with a very firm attitude.

Shangguan Hao had approached Liang Sen Cheng more than once for this matter, even offering various tempting conditions, all to win him over.

However, no matter what conditions Shangguan Hao offered, Liang Sen Cheng had never wavered, because Liang Sen Cheng had principles and would never do anything against his conscience.

"Alright, since you're not willing, then I don't want to force you anymore. Actually, I asked you to come here today because I have other things I want to talk to you about." Shangguan Hao finally got to the point.

Liang Sen Cheng was also a little surprised, he didn't expect Shangguan Hao to be here for other things.

But besides trying to win him over, what else could he talk to him about?

"What is it?" Liang Sen Cheng looked at Shangguan Hao with a curious expression.

Shangguan Hao didn't directly answer his question, but instead turned to look at Ouyang Qingming. Although he didn't say a word, the other party already understood his meaning.

Ouyang Qingming glanced at Liang Sen Cheng and said bluntly, "Young Master Liang, Haozi often tells me that you and he are good brothers, so he has repeatedly looked for you, wanting you to work with him to take down Yuncity. Once Yuncity is taken down, the power of both of your families can be taken to the next level, so what's not to like?"

What a "what's not to like!"

Yuan Mu Ye's gaze towards Ouyang Qingming instantly changed.

As expected, birds of a feather flock together, so they ended up together, and even colluded with evil ghosts.

"Those are your thoughts, I have never said that I want to expand the Liang family's power." Liang Sen Cheng responded coldly.

Although expanding the Liang family's sphere of influence would indeed be a good thing for the Liang family, in many cases, the greater the power, the more trouble there would be.

After all, the tallest tree in the forest attracts the most wind, especially in this world, it's always better to be low-key.

"Aren't you afraid that the Shangguan family's power will increase day by day and eventually swallow your Liang family?" Ouyang Qingming looked at Liang Sen Cheng with a smile that wasn't a smile, his tone carrying a hint of threat.

Liang Sen Cheng's heart tightened. He should have thought of it long ago, people like them can use any means to achieve their goals.

Threats were nothing!

"If the Shangguan family really has that ability, then I have nothing to say. In short, I only have one sentence, wanting me to collude with you is impossible." Liang Sen Cheng was unyielding.

Shangguan Hao originally didn't have much patience with him, so seeing his attitude so tough, he felt even more upset. If Liang Sen Cheng hadn't stopped him, he probably would have already revealed his true nature.

"Young Master Liang, actually, I'm quite puzzled. In this world, who doesn't want to make their life better? What if I promise you that the Liang family will also have a place in the First Capital City in the future?" Ouyang Qingming once again extended an olive branch.

The First Capital City!

Liang Sen Cheng was also dumbfounded. Although the Third Capital City and the First Capital City only differed by one word, the gap between the two cities was not small at all.

If a place like Yuncity was already considered prosperous, then the prosperity of the First Capital City was even better than Yuncity and the Third Capital City combined.

The First Capital City was considered the central area of these capital cities.

It was not hard to imagine how good the central area was.

In addition to being prosperous, there were also many experts.

"Are you from the First Capital City?" Liang Sen Cheng looked at Ouyang Qingming with some surprise.

Ouyang Qingming didn't hide it and directly admitted it.

"That's right. I came to Yuncity this time to take it down. To tell you the truth, Yuncity has already been surrounded by evil ghosts. I can guarantee that Yuncity will fall within a week. If you regret it now, there's still time."
