“Arrange my meeting with Ming Jing for the evening of the 30th.” Ran Tengxiao hooked his lips lightly, smiling like a fox.

Ye Jian was dumbfounded for a moment, then thought and said, “Ms. Ming Jing has declined all invitations, even from Madam Shen. She’s not giving anyone face. I’m not sure about your chances…” Ye Jian was somewhat uncertain.

After all, Ming Jing was no ordinary socialite. She wasn’t swayed by fame or fortune, nor was she tempted by beauty. It wouldn’t be easy to impress her.

“She’ll come.”

She would reject everyone else but never him.

If she really had something to do with Xi Yu.

The train arrived at the station, and an old man in Tang attire got off the train with a young boy by his side. The boy was slim and of an athletic build, wearing a blue and white tracksuit with a backpack on his shoulders, looking like a junior high school student who had just left school.

The boy looked around excitedly, “This is Jiangzhou, there are so many people, it’s even more prosperous than I imagined.”

At this moment, a thin, short man suddenly darted past them, and a middle-aged woman’s exaggerated screaming rang out behind him, “Thief! Catch the thief!”

The boy stared at the thin man who quickly disappeared in the crowd, playfully hooked his lips, “Stealing right under this young master’s watch.”

He took a marble out of his pocket, aimed it at the man’s retreating figure, and threw it with a “whoosh.”

Gaping crowds surrounded them, and the marble flew through the sea of people, accurately hitting the man’s knee. The man screamed in pain and crashed heavily to the ground.

The boy clapped his hands with a triumphant smile on his face and said to the old man, “Master, I’m off to do some heroic deeds.”

He dashed out like an arrow, his speed as fast as lightning, and within the blink of an eye, he was next to the man, stepping on his back and coldly snorting, “Hand over the stolen goods.”

The old man, seeing this, shook his head with a smile.

The thief glared ferociously, suddenly pulled out a dagger, and tried to stab the boy in the chest. The boy coldly snorted, grabbed the thief’s wrist, and gently twisted. A pig-slaughtering scream could be heard, and the dagger fell to the ground, the man’s face pale as paper.

“Trying to play tricks in front of this young master is courting death.” He twisted the thief’s arm behind his back, and the man screamed continuously for mercy.

“Where are the stolen goods?”

The trembling thief handed them over, and the boy coldly snorted, “Be a good person in the future and don’t steal anything again.”

At this moment, the security guards rushed over and caught the man on both sides, and the victim also caught up.

“Sister, quickly check if anything is missing?” The boy handed the wallet to the middle-aged woman with a playful smile.

The woman checked and found that nothing had been lost, so she immediately said to the boy, “Thank you so much! You’ve done me a great favor. What’s your name? Let me treat you to a meal.”

“It’s just a trifle, no need to mention it.” The boy waved his hand and turned around with a casual swagger. freewёbnoνel.com

After walking for two steps, he suddenly realized that he was lost.

Uh, his previously impressive demeanor had definitely vanished.

“You’re smart when it comes to martial arts, but it’s a pity you’re directionally challenged.” The old man walked past him and sighed.

“Master, wait for me.” The boy caught up in a few strides and scratched his head, “The ancients say that everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. This is the law of all things. If someone were perfect in every way, that would actually be a bad thing.”

“Why isn’t it good? People in the world all pursue perfection.”

“There’s no such thing as a perfect person in the world. Some people pursue fame, some pursue fortune. Even a pure-hearted person like you, Master, seeks the ultimate in martial arts. That too is foolishness.”

The old man was left speechless, shaking his head with a smile, “What a bunch of skewed logic.”

The boy huffed, “Now you’re resorting to sophistry since you can’t beat me in an argument.”

Walking out of the train station and seeing the city’s tall buildings, the boy gasped, “Wow, this is so beautiful! I love Jiangzhou! Master, I don’t plan to go back this time I visit Jiangzhou.”

“You can only stay in Jiangzhou if you win the championship in the martial arts competition.”

“Don’t worry, Master, I will definitely win the championship!” the boy said ambitiously.”I heard from your senior brother that there’s a genius in Jiangzhou this year, young and unfathomable. You can talk about it after you beat him,” said the old man.

“I will definitely defeat him.” The youth clenched his fists and said confidently.

On the evening of the thirtieth, Bojinlai Casino was packed with people, shoulder to shoulder.

Leaders from various halls of the Qinglong Association gathered together, even Ran Qing, who had retired from managing affairs, came to support the occasion.

Ran Qing looked at Lin Feng: “Where’s Master Xiao?”

Lin Feng replied: “Master Xiao has an appointment with someone.”

“Who has such a big face, even more important than tonight’s martial arts competition?” Ran Qing was noncommittal.

Zhao Qin played with her hair and smiled: “Of course, it’s his confidante.”

Ran Qing frowned: “When did he get an extra confidante?”

“Mom, you haven’t been out for a long time, you lack updated information. Now everyone in Jiangzhou knows Ming Jing, for my cousin, she is much more important than the martial arts competition. There’s a competition every year, but there’s only one beauty like her. If he acts too late, she might be taken away by someone else.”

“Ming Jing?” Ran Qing chewed on this name and had indeed heard it frequently recently. She also knew some news about her.

“She won first place in the horse race this year, bringing huge benefits to the Horse Association. Her contribution is undeniable, and your cousin should really thank her.”

“It’s not just that, I want her to be my cousin’s wife too.”

Unexpectedly, Ran Qing’s expression changed, and she coldly scolded: “This is absolutely ridiculous! Your cousin’s marriage isn’t a joke.”

“What’s the big deal? As long as my cousin likes her, that’s enough. Besides, Ming Jing is a perfect match for my cousin. If anything, it’s my cousin who would be at a disadvantage.”

“Now you’re being ridiculous too.” Ran Qing glared at her.

Zhao Qin couldn’t stand Ran Qing’s glare and quickly got up. She looked around and found Ye Shuang asking: “Have you seen Xi Yu?”

Ye Shuang shook her head: “Miss, Xi Yu hasn’t arrived yet.”

Zhao Qin sighed. Suddenly, she felt a pain in her calf, and a marble rolled to her feet.

Zhao Qin picked up the marble and suddenly turned her head to see a young boy approaching with a grin, palms open: “Sister, can you give my marble back, please?”

Zhao Qin narrowed her eyes: “So it’s you, a little brat, who shot me with the marble?”

The young boy giggled: “Sister, I didn’t do it on purpose.”

“If you say it wasn’t on purpose, should I just believe you?”

Ye Shuang quickly stepped in front of the boy, “I’m sorry, Miss. He is my junior brother, Ye Feng, who is young and naughty. Please forgive him this time.”

She then glared at the young boy and sternly said, “Why haven’t you apologized to the Miss yet?”

Zhao Qin examined the marble with a cold smile: “So, this is the once-in-a-century genius from Xuanjing Sect – your little brother Ye Feng?”

Ye Shuang’s heart tightened, realizing that the Miss was angry.

Ye Feng jumped out from behind Ye Shuang, smiling brightly: “That’s right! The genius from Xuanjing Sect is me. Miss, can you return my marble?”

“A small punk like you, brimming with arrogance, is actually a genius? Has Xuanjing Sect run out of people?” Zhao Qin scoffed.

Ye Shuang’s face turned red, “Miss, my little brother has been spoiled by our Master and me, so he’s become very unruly. Please let him off the hook this time.”

“Alright, if you can win against Xi Yu, I’ll return your marble. If not, you’ll have to kneel down and kowtow three times to apologize to me.”

Ye Feng grinned playfully. However, a hint of coldness flashed through his pitch-black eyes. At that moment, both Ye Shuang and Zhao Qin felt a shiver down their spines, as if a cold wind had blown by.

“Xi Yu has arrived.” Someone shouted, and Zhao Qin’s eyes sparkled with excitement. She immediately spun around, no longer caring about the little punk.
