CHAPTER 31: CHAPTER 0031: THE MARTIAL ARTS TOURNAMENT IN JIANGNAN CITY

Leaving Jiangnan City First High School, Ye Qingfeng went straight back to Qingyun District.

However, just as he reached the Bai Family’s door,

a somewhat excited and melodious voice like tinkling spring water came through.

It was Song Shuyao.

At this moment, Song Shuyao was wearing a white floral short-sleeved shirt and light blue jeans.

With her slender figure, she indeed stood tall and graceful.

There was a kind of charm that drew people’s attention.

"What is it?"

Ye Qingfeng frowned.

He had already helped Mr. Song twice.

Some favors, once given, should just stop there.

So, Ye Qingfeng was somewhat displeased.

"Ye Qingfeng, you... don’t be like this!"

Faced with Ye Qingfeng’s icy gaze, Song Shuyao was somewhat apprehensive.

"I’m here to thank you!"

Song Shuyao muttered softly,

seemingly with a bit of grievance.

However, she reached out her fair hand and handed over a set of keys.

"No need, the Heavenly Mechanism Order is a good enough thank-you."

Ye Qingfeng said calmly.

"Little God Doctor Ye, just take it! Consider it compensation from the younger generation of the Song Family for their disrespect."

At this moment, Mr. Song Xuan walked out from behind Song Shuyao.

An elder’s voice rang out.

"Mr. Song Xuan, just say it directly if you have something to discuss!"

Ye Qingfeng didn’t beat around the bush and spoke directly.

His words were like a sharp divine sword, cutting through the thorns without beating around the bush.

"It’s like this, in a month’s time, the Four Great Families in Jiangnan City will hold a Martial Arts Tournament."

"At that time, I would like to invite Little God Doctor Ye to help treat the injured members of the Song Family."

This time, Mr. Song Xuan came to seek Ye Qingfeng’s help out of necessity.

After all, the Four Great Families hold a Martial Arts Tournament every year to decide the allocation of resources among the families in Jiangnan City.

The Song Family is weak, and Mr. Song Xuan only hopes to preserve the youngsters of the Song Family.

"Since Mr. Song Xuan doesn’t wish for his descendants to take risks, why not forfeit this Martial Arts Tournament?"

Ye Qingfeng smiled faintly.

Regarding the annual Martial Arts Tournament held by the Four Great Families in Jiangnan City,

he was also aware of it.

In this era, cultivation resources are the most important thing.

And how to allocate these resources depends on who has the stronger fists.

Thus, the Martial Arts Tournament is necessary.

At the same time, the Divine Guard stationed in the Southern Base City also tacitly approves of this method of resource allocation.

"Little Ye, you may not know, but if the Song Family admits defeat, it’s likely that the other three families will directly carve us up and won’t allow us to bide our time in peace."

Mr. Song Xuan didn’t hide the reason from Ye Qingfeng.

He explained the situation directly.

The Four Great Families of Jiangnan City all keep each other in check.

Naturally, they won’t let any one family flourish independently.

If the Song Family truly insists on withdrawing,

then the other three families will unite to eliminate the Song Family.

Moreover, as one of the Four Great Families in Jiangnan City, if the Song Family doesn’t even dare to participate in the Martial Arts Tournament,

other families will naturally take their place.

Although Mr. Song Xuan doesn’t wish to see the descendants of the Song Family get hurt in the tournament,

he even more doesn’t want to see the Song Family collapse.

So Mr. Song Xuan also hopes that Ye Qingfeng will help heal the injured members of the Song Family at that time.

"Too troublesome, Mr. Song Xuan, you better ask someone else!"

Ye Qingfeng waved his hand, not at all interested in such trivial matters.

It was simply a waste of his time.

"Little God Doctor Ye, I have one more step back."

"If during the Martial Arts Tournament, any member of the Song Family gets injured to the point of death, if you can lend a hand, this old man would be most grateful."

Mr. Song Xuan spoke sincerely.

He really had witnessed Ye Qingfeng’s medical skills.

Mr. Song Xuan couldn’t help but admire that there was no one in Jiangnan City who could surpass this young man in medical skill.

"Alright, I agree, but I need Mr. Song Xuan to help me find some things."

Ye Qingfeng agreed right away.

After all, the Martial Arts Tournament was mainly about determining strength,

and deaths were relatively rare.

So it essentially meant he wouldn’t need to exert much effort.

"What conditions? This old man will do my best."

Since he came to ask Ye Qingfeng, Song Xuan was also prepared.

"I need some herbs. Mr. Song Xuan should be able to obtain them through the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, right?"

Ye Qingfeng handed a slip of paper to Mr. Song Xuan.

Listed on it were the herbs needed to refine Gathering Spirit Pill.

And some of the herbs from the Cultivation World could be substituted with Earth’s herbs.

After all, the Earth now was full of Spiritual Energy, with many rare strange grasses and divine medicine sacred vines.

"Spirit Flower Fruit, Blue Crystal Grass!"

Upon seeing the slip of paper Ye Qingfeng handed over, Mr. Song Xuan also furrowed his brows.

As the head of the Song Family and in charge of Jiangnan City’s Tianji Arena,

Song Xuan’s insight was naturally exceptional.

These two herbs were considered rare.

"Little God Doctor Ye, don’t worry, I’ll prepare these two herbs for you."

Mr. Song Xuan agreed.

Although these two herbs were fairly rare,

for the Song Family, they weren’t really much.

"Alright, Mr. Song Xuan, I won’t see you out."

Ye Qingfeng said calmly.

"Wait, take this!"

Song Shuyao insisted, handing over the earlier keys.

"What?"

Ye Qingfeng raised his eyes slightly, looking at Song Shuyao.

"A villa on Qiyun Peak, it’s full of Spiritual Energy."

Song Shuyao said crisply.

Directly placing the keys into Ye Qingfeng’s hand.

Her face slightly flushed.

"Qiyun Peak?"

Ye Qingfeng holding the keys from Song Shuyao, murmured softly.

As the highest peak in Jiangnan City, Qiyun Peak was naturally filled with Spiritual Energy.

The villas there were usually occupied by the influential figures of Jiangnan City.

"I’ll take it!"

Ye Qingfeng looked deeply at Song Shuyao.

He didn’t say much more.

The abundant Spiritual Energy was indeed of significant use to him.

After speaking, Ye Qingfeng entered the Bai Family.

While Mr. Song Xuan and Song Shuyao left in their special car.

...

In Huaxia, at the Southern Base, at the location bordering the Monster Beast Desolate City.

Roars of beasts rose, alerting the martial artists of the base city.

This was the bloody battlefield of demon beasts.

At this moment, inside the Monster Beast Desolate City,

a young man stood atop a mountain peak within the city, his eyes sharply watching the marauding beasts below and the martial artists training and fighting here.

The powerful demon beasts chose to avoid this young man.

"Young Master Han, the assassination failed."

A silhouette in black respectfully spoke behind the young man.

"Failed? Are the people of Heavenly Punishment all useless?"

The young man snorted coldly.

This was a task assigned by the Family Head.

With this assassination failing, they couldn’t continue.

After all, back in the Ye Family, the Dongfang Family Master had made a promise in front of everyone.

At least, it couldn’t be done so blatantly.

"Inform the Hong Family in Jiangnan City to find an opportunity to make Ye Qingfeng die in public."

The young man spoke coldly.

Since the covert assassination failed, then let it be open.

If Ye Qingfeng died under public gaze,

who could say anything?

"Yes!"

The shadowy figure responded and retreated.

Like receding tide in the darkness, it vanished without a trace.

"In two years, it’s the family competition, I can’t lag behind!"

"This Monster Beast Desolate City is a great place to hone sword skills!"

Holding a black long sword,

the young man charged towards the demon beasts in the Monster Beast Desolate City.
