“Alright! We’ll do as you say!”
Fang Yuan agreed without hesitation. He was happy that his son could hold his own!
Then, a few calls were made from the Guardian’s Mansion!
It was already past 11 PM, but the Su Family villa was still brightly lit!
Three people sat around the dining table. The food had already turned cold as no one had touched their chopsticks!
The room was very quiet, and no one spoke. The atmosphere was extremely oppressive, and it felt like a black cloud was pressing down on the city!
After a long time, Su Changlin finally broke the silence. His voice was somewhat hoarse as if he was under great pressure.
“The few raw materials companies that have collaborated with us have announced the termination of their contracts today. The bank is also rushing us for funds. I’m afraid the Su family won’t be able to survive this!”
“Since they haven’t reached Cang City yet, I’ll draw them here. Both of you, pack up. I’ll think of a way to send you away!”
After saying this, Su Changlin’s eyes were filled with pain. Unless it was absolutely necessary, who would be willing to be separated from their family? However, at the end of the day, someone had to die. It was better to die alone than to have their entire family killed!
Li Lanxin looked at her husband with tenderness in her eyes. She said very freely, “I’ll stay with you. Those few Rank-3 martial artists have also been summoned back by their respective dojos. He won’t let us leave!”
“Shiya, you still have hope. As long as you return to the Taoist temple, even if he’s a grandmaster, he won’t dare to mess around!”
Su Shiya shook her head, her beautiful face full of stubbornness!
“Ah Yi got into a car accident a few days ago, but luckily, he’s still well and alive today!”
“However, we have already severed all ties with Ah Yi. He didn’t even let that incident slip by, much less us. Even if I hide in the Daoist temple, will that mean that I will never be able to leave the Daoist temple?”
“He won’t let me off either. As long as I leave the Daoist temple, he will still deal with me. It’s just a matter of time!”
After that, the room fell into a long period of silence once again, and it seemed to be filled with gloom!
Ding ling ling!
The phone rang, breaking the silence once again!
Su Changlin took out his phone and looked at the caller ID. It was an unknown number, but he still stood up and walked to the side to pick up the call.
Ding ling ling!
Ding ling ling!
Then, two ringtones sounded one after another. Li Lanxin and Su Shiya’s phones rang at the same time!
Five minutes later, the three of them returned to their seats!
What was different from before was that at this moment, their faces were filled with ecstasy. There was no longer the despair and gloom from before!
Su Changlin picked up his chopsticks, picked up a mouthful of food, and ruthlessly ate a few mouthfuls of rice. He did not care that the food was already cold!
Then, he put down the bowl and chopsticks, swallowed the food in his mouth, and said excitedly, “Just now, the president of Cang City Bank called and said that he could loan us 100 million at a low-interest rate!”
“A few medicinal herbs merchants also called and are willing to provide all the medicinal herbs we need at a price 10% lower than the market price!”
Then, Li Lanxin added excitedly, “The Tuling Dojo also called just now. They said that their dojo owner, Zhang Tuling, will personally protect us from tomorrow onwards!”
Su Shiya opened her mouth in shock and stammered, “My… My mentor just called and asked me to return to the Daoist temple for cultivation tomorrow. She will escort me back and forth for the time being!”
Although the three of them did not know exactly what had happened, it was definitely a good thing!
Even though only the surface problems had been solved, and the enemy grandmaster who was their biggest obstacle was still a looming threat above their heads, these few calls seemed to show signs of protection from the Guardian’s Residence!
Whether it was the banks, the medicinal herb companies, or the dojo, all of them were forced by the grandmaster to cut off their cooperation with the Su family!
Unless it was an order from a grandmaster, no one would dare to risk offending a grandmaster to cooperate with the Su family at this time!
That night, the three members of the Su Family, who had seen some hope, stayed up all night!
The next day, Wang Yi arrived at the dojo on time. Fang Mingze had already arrived early and was standing there!
When he saw Wang Yi enter, Fang Mingze put away the stake and smiled. “Senior, you’re here!”
After speaking, he went to the dining table and opened the food containers. He took out the dishes one by one and placed them on the table. Then, he continued, “This is what our chef made today. Please try it and give me your guidance!”
Wang Yi couldn’t help but praise Fang Mingze in his heart. How sensible!
It felt good to have delicacies to eat as soon as he arrived!
There were four dishes on the table. Steam was rising from the dishes, and the fragrance of the dishes filled the air. There was also a faint wave of spirit qi lingering around them.
Wang Yi picked up a mouthful of fish and put it into his mouth. After chewing it a few times, he closed his eyes and enjoyed it. It was very fresh and tender. It melted in his mouth and had the fragrance of herbs. It was indeed delicious!
Fang Mingze took on the role of an errand boy. He stood by the side and introduced the dishes. “This is the Steamed Cangyang Fish. It’s made using Cang City’s specialty fish, which was fished from the Cangyang Lake outside the city. It’s the plumpest and most delicious at this moment. We marinated it for seven hours with advanced spiritual materials. The spiritual materials will completely blend into the fish. Then, we steamed it for another seven hours. When it’s out of the pot, it will be the best!”
Wang Yi nodded, expressing his satisfaction. He picked up another piece of duck meat and started eating it.
Fang Mingze continued with his introduction. “This is the Eight Treasures Duck. The main ingredient is a Rank-1 Green Palm Duck. The bones are first removed. Then, the Black Forest Fragrant Mushroom, Sea Wave Shrimp, Nine-Petal Lotus Seed, Six-Leaf Ginseng, Spirit Glutinous Rice, and eight other spiritual materials are hidden in the stomach of the duck. Hundred Flower Nectar is then applied on the surface of the duck before the duck is placed in the furnace. When you take the duck out, it will be jujube red in color and have a soft and fragrant taste!”
Wang Yi tasted the remaining two dishes, while Fang Mingze introduced them one by one!
The taste of these dishes was much stronger than yesterday’s!
After tasting all four dishes, Fang Mingze took out a pot of wine and a wine cup. After filling the cup, he said with a smile, “This is my father’s precious wine. He usually doesn’t let me drink it. Senior, try it. Do you still have the habit of drinking wine?”
Wang Yi raised his wine cup and drank it in one gulp. He could not help but sigh in his heart. This treatment was unique. The young master of the Guardian’s family was serving him here!
If this occurred before he transmigrated, he would at least be equivalent to the son of the county head or even the son of the mayor. Only then would someone like Fang Mingze serve him wine here!
Who said that those martial arts second-generation heirs, rich second-generation heirs, and powerful second-generation heirs were good-for-nothings? They were even smarter than ordinary people. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to survive in this industry until now!
Even if some of them were really hedonistic sons of rich parents, their outcomes would usually be miserable. They would either be used as a tool or they were exploited until nothing was left!
Wang Yi found Fang Mingze more and more pleasing to him. He had good judgment and knew how to do things. Even without the care of his father, his future achievements would not be too bad!
Wang Yi nodded slightly. His attitude was very gentle. He smiled and said, “Thank you! Send my regards to Guardian Fang!”
After Fang Mingze left yesterday, Wang Yi realized that his spiritual power was the symbol of a grandmaster. Other than the Guardian, were there any other grandmasters in Cang City?
Moreover, he could sense the other party through his spiritual power, so the other party could definitely sense him through his spiritual power!
Fang Mingze must have known that he was a grandmaster. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have fawned over him like this!
