The temptation behind gentleness
Chapter 1055: Dark Streets of Northern Baiyue
Su Fan didn't ask Ye Zhaoyi where she was going; he had already begun to contemplate future matters.
After reaching the Gang Qi Realm, he fully realized how challenging cultivation at this level was.
Now, with his power at the peak of the early stage of the Gang Qi Realm, advancing one minor realm required more True Qi than moving from the Vitality Realm to the peak of the Gang Qi Realm.
From this, it was evident just how valuable the status of a Martial Arts Grandmaster truly was.
If he encountered an opposing Martial Arts Grandmaster before becoming one himself,
his fate would certainly be similar to Fu Zan Master, being easily defeated by the enemy.
However, strength-wise, there was no need to rush.
No matter how one looked at it, he was now considered a Martial Arts Grandmaster after all.
The threats from the Ku Tuo Temple of Tibet, the Kawabata family of Japan, and England Palieya Castle had greatly diminished.
If he stayed in Yang City, these people might not have any means to deal with him.
Ye Zhaoyi didn't know what Su Fan was thinking, but the place she wanted to take him was arriving soon.
After parking the car by the roadside, she pointed to an alley not far away and asked Su Fan, "Do you know what that place is?"
Su Fan shook his head, "What place is that?"
Ye Zhaoyi replied, "That area is the secret streets. Have you heard of the secret streets?"
Su Fan shook his head again, "No, I haven't."
He indeed hadn't heard of the secret streets; he spent his youth following his grandfather in the mountains, learning martial arts and medicine.
After leaving the mountains, he mostly worked as a doctor in Yang City.
Don't look at how he now travels far and wide, sometimes even going abroad.
But he was never doing it to broaden his horizons; most of the time, he was out to confront his enemies.
There were many hidden things in the world he didn't know much about.
It was already dusk now, but the sun hadn't completely set yet.
Ye Zhaoyi raised her hand, placing it in front of Su Fan.
Before she could speak, Su Fan held her tender hand and asked, "What's the matter?"
Ye Zhaoyi responded irritably, "I wanted to tell you, where there's light, there's darkness."
Under the sunset glow, sunlight shone on her palm, casting her delicate hand's shadow on the windshield.
With her words, Su Fan understood.
Su Fan immediately said, "So, the secret streets are the darkness of Bai Yue, or at least the darkness of northern Bai Yue?"
Ye Zhaoyi nodded, "Yes, there you can see all kinds of sins and all kinds of pleasures."
"Before I became the family head of the Ye family, I lived in that area."
Hearing this, Su Fan was somewhat surprised, and then he said, "So, you want to take me in to have a look?"
Ye Zhaoyi smiled slyly, "Why? Are you afraid to go in?"
Su Fan chuckled lightly; after becoming a Martial Arts Grandmaster, there were few things in the world he feared.
However, Ye Zhaoyi's next words still made Su Fan's expression change slightly.
"The secret streets aren't part of the Ye family or any other faction's territory; they belong to a Great Grandmaster."
Mighty Tianyuan, a master of the Primordial Qi Realm, also known as a Martial Arts Great Grandmaster, or Great Grandmaster.
In front of a Martial Arts Great Grandmaster, a Grandmaster claiming to be adept in martial arts at the Gang Qi Realm was merely an apprentice.
Su Fan couldn't help but ask, "From which faction is this Great Grandmaster? Is it from the Bai Yue public family?"
Ye Zhaoyi was slightly surprised, Su Fan's casual remark turned out to be correct.
"Yes, but the area of the secret streets solely belongs to this Great Grandmaster."
"As long as no other Great Grandmaster visits, Grandmaster Tian won't make an appearance."
Su Fan thought for a moment and asked, "Are there any taboos in the secret streets?"
Ye Zhaoyi shook her head, "The biggest rule in the secret streets is that there are no rules."
"Whatever you do in the secret streets, as long as you're not a Great Grandmaster, Grandmaster Tian won't intervene."
