Ye Qing took Xiao Yi away from Wanhua Garden and walked to Shang Rou's courtyard on a familiar road.
Suddenly, a figure walked towards him. Ye Qing looked up and saw that it was Shang Zhenqiang whom he had met before.
At this time, Shang Zhenqiang was smiling and nodding to Ye Qing, and Ye Qing also politely returned the gesture.
Suddenly, Ye Qing felt a seemingly invisible force coming from the other party's body, reaching toward him.
"Hmph! Another one here to check my cultivation. It's a pity that it's impossible to find out anything with the power of your souls."
Ye Qing secretly thought in his heart, and then a more secret soul wave emanated from Ye Qing's body, instantly surrounding Ye Qing. It was the power of Ye Qing's own soul.
When Shang Zhenqiang came over to investigate, he did not find any fluctuations in Ye Qing's soul when the two passed by each other.
Shang Zhenqiang frowned, but Ye Qing smiled faintly.
"As expected, as the fourth child said, Ye Qing's cultivation is really average. It seems that the elder brother has made a mistake."
Shang Zhenqiang secretly thought, and then hurried back to his yard.
At this time, Ye Qing had arrived at Shang Rou's courtyard.
After these few contacts, the two of them have become very familiar with each other. Ye Qing directly explained his purpose of coming. After Shang Rou heard this, he just pursed his lips and smiled and said: "Can't you come here except for eating?
?”
After hearing Shang Rou's words, Ye Qing scratched the back of his head and said, "I usually come here to worry about affecting your practice, but isn't the competition about to start? Your Merchant Fort attaches great importance to this recruitment competition."
After hearing Ye Qing's words, Shang Rou frowned slightly, pursed her red lips, and said: "Recently, the Sun family has been attacking our business in Merchant Fort, and the Chen family has also been eyeing us. If we can't find a strong backer,
, it is really difficult for us in Merchant Fort to survive the crisis."
Ye Qing smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I will try my best. Do you believe me?"
"Of course I believe it!" Shang Rou blurted out, then lowered her slightly red face.
"Young Master Ye, what you want is ready. Come and eat."
Zhu'er's voice came from the courtyard, which just helped Shang Rou relieve his embarrassment.
So the two of them walked out, especially the white figure, which flashed past and landed on the stone table.
When Ye Qing and others sat down, Xiao Yi had already started eating.
Seeing this, Ye Qing shook his head helplessly and started to eat.
"Ye Shaoxia, you can easily teach Xiaojie a set of advanced Xuan-level martial arts. He must be a very powerful master. With your help, I believe that our Merchant Fort will definitely enter the finals. Then we can rely on our own abilities to win.
"
Shang Rou said softly, her words filled with determination.
Ye Qing did not expect that Shang Rou looked weak on the outside, but was actually a determined woman.
However, Ye Qing didn't say much and continued to eat the delicacies on the table. Ye Qing didn't like to talk about things, and he usually expressed his thoughts through actions.
Suddenly, a figure ran in from outside. When everyone looked up, they found that it was Shang Jie.
At this time, Shang Jie looked nervous, and then said: "Sister, it's not good, the playboy Chen Tian from the Chen family has come to propose marriage to you, and he has already arrived in the hall."
Hearing this, Shang Rou frowned slightly and said, "Father will definitely not agree, but doing so will offend the Chen family and put our Merchant Fort into a deeper crisis."
"It is true that my father did not agree, but the five uncles unanimously asked my father to reconsider. It seems that they all hope that my father can agree to the Chen family's proposal of marriage. They are discussing it in the hall now."
Hearing what Shang Jie said, Shang Rou couldn't sit still anymore, got up and walked to the merchant hall, Shang Jie followed closely behind her sister.
Seeing this, Ye Qing shook his head and followed with Xiao Yi.
When they arrived at the merchant's hall, they found that there were already many people in the hall, some of whom were members of the Chen family, and Chen Tian was among them.
At this time, Shang Zhentian was surrounded by five other business elders arguing about something. Although the five elders surrounded Shang Zhentian, Shang Zhentian did not have any anger, but frowned tightly.
Seeing Shang Rou come in, the five elders took their seats.
"Xiaorou, why are you here?"
When Shang Zhentian saw his daughter walking in with a serious face, he came up to her and asked.
"Haha, it seems that Miss Shang can't wait to come and meet our Brother Tian."
I saw a young man wearing white clothes and holding a fan in his hand and said with a smile. This man looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a vulgar look on his face. When he smiled, he narrowed his eyes into slits and revealed a mouth of uneven teeth.
"Hmph! Chen Wei, if you keep talking nonsense, I will throw you out."
Shang Jie glared at the wretched young man and said.
"Hey, isn't this little brother Shang Jie? We will all be relatives soon, so don't be so cruel."
Chen Wei still looked shaky.
Probably Chen Tian couldn't stand Chen Wei's look any more, so he came over and patted his shoulder, signaling him to stop talking, and then suddenly came to Ye Qing.
"Isn't this Ye Qing? Why are you still here and pestering sister Shang Rou all day long? You really want to eat swan meat. You are a little bastard with no money and no power. You are really whimsical!"
Hearing Chen Tian's barbed words, Ye Qing didn't get angry at all, but said calmly: "A toad can't spit out human words from its mouth, how can swan meat be beyond your reach?"
Seeing Ye Qing's nonchalant look, Chen Tian was immediately furious. He was about to have a fit, but was stopped by a middle-aged man behind him, and then he reluctantly walked back.
.
The middle-aged man stared at Ye Qing for a while, and when he turned around, a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes. Although it was well hidden, it was still noticed by the keen Ye Qing.
"Strength is respected everywhere. This middle-aged man's cultivation level is comparable to that of Shang Zhentian. It seems that he needs to pay more attention."
Ye Qing thought in his heart, but he didn't take it too seriously, he just remembered this person secretly.
"Master Shang, how are you thinking about this marriage? If our two families unite, we can definitely suppress the Sun family, which will be beneficial to both of us. Of course, we will not force it, my Tian'er is
It is very popular. The head of the Sun family has said that he wants to betroth his daughter Sun Tianyu to my family Tian'er."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the merchant's elders changed instantly. This was a threat, a naked threat, but this threat really hit the merchant's weak point.
Shang Zhentian's expression also changed instantly. The Chen family was forcing a marriage. This made the mighty Lord Shang Bao lose his face. However, being the Lord of the fort was not a simple role, but he returned to normal after a while.
Shang Zhentian looked back at Ye Qing, with a trace of struggle on his face.
