Chapter 247: Unable to Leave This Place

t to hold you back..." Qin Yuxin choked out."Your life is just beginning, you have a bright future ahead of you. I can't be selfish and keep you tied to me and Rui Rui...""Yuxin, my life is you and Ru...[ ]

"Brother, you're here just in time. That dead fat guy dared to hit me, quickly help me cripple him!"

Before that young master saw the man, he shouted out loudly.

"Well!" The man glanced at the young master's condition then looked at Xuan Pang and spoke in a low voice, "Brother, isn't your move a bit too heavy"

"Do you have any opinions" Xuan Pang spoke softly.

"Since you're also a martial artist, brother, would you mind moving to somewhere else for a friendly spar" A cold glint flashed in the man's eyes.

"No time!" Xuanpang waved his hand. "If you want to get your hands dirty, hurry up! We still have to go celebrate Xue's birthday!"

The man's brow furrowed.

"Brother Tsui, this matter is indeed due to Tian Shao's mistake first. Could you please give me a thin sheet of noodles and let bygones be bygones" Xue Zhixuan interrupted him.

"Mr. Shen and his companions came specially to celebrate my uncle's birthday. If Young Master Tsuen really wants to spar with this gentleman, perhaps we could discuss it later"

"Since Young Master Xu has spoken, there's naturally no problem." The man nodded and then looked at Xuan Pang again: "I'll be waiting for you. If you are a man, don't act like a turtle hiding in its shell."

After speaking, without waiting for Xuan Pang's response, he turned and left.

"Mr. Shen, I'm really sorry for the trouble we've caused you all. I apologize deeply." Xue Zhixuan then looked at Shen Le.

"Hehehe, Young Master Xue is too polite!" Shen Le smiled faintly: "I wonder where Lord Xue is"

"Uncle is receiving guests in the house, please come this way, Mr. Shen!" Xue Zhixuan made a courteous gesture of invitation.

"Thanks for your help!" Shen Le said, then exchanged a glance with Ling Hao before walking towards a villa not far away. Xuan Pang and Tang Lin followed closely behind.

"Brother, that young master just now was Xue Zhishen, the nephew of Xue Zhongrui, the head of the Xue family." After Shen Le and his party left, the judge turned to Ling Hao and spoke.

"Xue Zhongrui lost his wife early in life and only had one daughter, named Xue Biqian."

According to my understanding, both Xue Zhixuan and Xue Biqi are disciples of a certain sect and rarely return to Jiang Hai in their daily lives.

"Oh Is that so" Ling Hao raised an eyebrow.

No wonder Xue Zhixuan, at such a young age, has already achieved the status of a consummate warrior. It turns out he's a disciple of a powerful sect!

Hidden families and ancient martial arts sects are two other forces in Daxia that cannot be ignored besides the powerful clans. In terms of combat strength, they far surpass the clans.

Many clans and families have existed for thousands of years, and no matter how society changes, they remain steadfast. There are reasons for this.

The Xuanmen and Moge are sects that have been passed down for more than a thousand years!

"Big brother, shall I take a look around" The judge said afterwards.

"Mm!" Ling Hao nodded slightly.

After the judge had left, Ling Hao once again glanced into the depths of the manor. A breath of energy from a Warlord Realm fighter was faintly discernible.

His cultivation level has now recovered to the War King Realm. Even if the other party intentionally conceals their aura, how can they escape his spiritual perception

After a moment's thought, he walked to a garden in the northwest corner of the estate.

Before Xuan Pang said that the two auras of the War Sovereign realm came from there, he wanted to see who it was.

Meanwhile, Shen Le and the others, led by Xue Zhixuan, entered the villa hall.

Looking around, they saw that in addition to a middle-aged man with a national character face, there were also several men and women sitting in the hall.

The oldest was a man in his sixties, dressed in a Taoist robe. He had white hair but a youthful face, a full forehead and deep eyes. There was an aura of energy surrounding him.

Xuan Pang swept his gaze over the old man, his eyes narrowing slightly. The other party's cultivation was not weak, possessing the strength of a half-step War Venerable!

"Father, Mr. Shen has arrived!" Xue Zhixuan looked at one of the middle-aged men and spoke.

"With the esteemed arrival of Mr. Shen, I am deeply honored but inadequate in my welcome. Please forgive my shortcomings!" Xue Zhongkun, the second master of the Xue family, rose to greet him.

"Mr. Xue, you're too polite!" Shen Le glanced around the room but didn't see Xue Zhongrui. Then he asked, "Is Master Xue not here"

"My big brother is busy right now, he'll be here soon." Xue Zhongkun smiled and said, "Mr. Shen, please have a seat!"

"Thank you!" Shen Yue nodded and sat down on the sofa with Xuan Pang. Tang Lin stood behind the two of them.

"Time for tea!" Xue Zhongkun waved his hand.

A woman in a qipao responded and poured two cups of tea for Shen Le and Xuan Pang.

"Mr. Shen, things have been a little unsettled in Jiang Hai recently!" Xue Zhongkun then turned to Shen Le and spoke.

"Heh heh, that's right!" Shen Yue raised her teacup and took a sip.

“I wonder what Mr. Shen thinks of the Three Great Families” Xue Zhunkun continued.

"Master Xue, you flatter me. I'm just a humble merchant. What could I possibly have to say" Shen Le smiled.

However, the things those three companies did were indeed a bit too much. A gentleman loves wealth but acquires it through proper means. If one solely pursues wealth without regard for morality, that is digging one's own grave.

"As the saying goes, you're bound to get wet if you walk by the river often!"

"Well said!" Xue Zhongkun smiled. "So, I wonder what Mr. Shen thinks about the future of Jiang Hai"

"As I always say, I'm just a businessman. I don't have the ability or the interest to think on such a grand scale." Shen Le put down his teacup and responded calmly.

"Mr. Shen is too humble!" Xue Zhongkun's eyes narrowed slightly: "Xue has an immature idea, I wonder if Mr. Shen is interested."

"Is that so I wonder who Mr. Xue Er is referring to" Shen Le asked.

"The market in Jianghai is very large. No single company could monopolize it." Xue Zhongkun lit a cigar and took a puff.

"Our Xue family is interested in jointly investing with Mr. Shen to establish a group company worth hundreds of billions. We can all make money together. What do you think, Mr. Shen"

"Oh" Shen Le's eyes narrowed slightly: "Xue Erdangjia's idea is good, but Shen Mo runs a small business and doesn't have such a big appetite. I'm afraid it will disappoint Erdangjia."

"Well, well, Mr. Shen is being modest. If Mr. Shen's business is just a small operation, then the others can only be considered workshops," Xue Zhongkun said after taking a puff of his cigar, his tone dropping slightly.

"I hope Mr. Shen will seriously consider my proposal!"

"Hehehe, I'm really sorry, but this matter doesn't need to be considered. Please, Second Master, choose someone else!" Shen Le replied calmly.

"You really have no shame! Collaborating with you was giving you a chance, you actually think we're begging you" A young man on the sofa spoke in a low voice.

"Presumptuous!" Tang Lin said coldly, "How dare you speak to me like that"

"Old man, shut your mouth! You have no say here!" The young man glared at Tang Lin: "If you say another word, I'll throw you out!"

"Damn it!" Tang Lin shouted angrily: "You"

"Mr. Lin!" Shen Le interrupted him, then looked at Xue Zhongkun.

"Master Xue, I came today specifically to wish Master Xue a happy birthday. Since he is unavailable, then I shall take my leave!"

After finishing, they looked at each other and stood up.

"Hmph!" the young man snorted coldly.

"Today, if you don't agree to this, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave this place!" Ling Hao spoke again."I'm giving you a chance. Go back and tell your boss that within the next day, all of the property owners in this complex need to be compensated with the market price difference....
