"Little Ling, don't be angry, let's go back first!" Seeing his granddaughter getting angry, the old man immediately pulled her aside. He felt helpless towards his hot-tempered granddaughter, knowing that if he stopped her now, the guards might end up getting hurt. What was most important was that this was the Ye Group, and to use martial arts against the Ye Family meant becoming their enemy. "Grandpa, what are you doing, let me teach those beasts a lesson!" The girl known as Little Ling looked at the security guards with dissatisfaction. She was really about to explode with anger. The store left to her by her parents had been forcefully taken away and, to make matters worse, the payment hadn't been settled even after several months. "Little Ling, this is a public place, if you start a fight, there could be trouble." "So what if there is, I want to teach the Ye Group a lesson!" "The Ye Group is a martial arts family business. Offending the Ye Clan would mean that we'd have to live on the run," the old man said with a shake of his head. "Grandpa, you are an Earth-Rank Warrior. What's so scary about a martial arts family? If push comes to shove, we'll fight it out," Little Ling puffed out her cheeks, speaking indignantly. "Hehe..." The old man chuckled affectionately and said no more. What could an Earth-Rank Warrior do after all, his abilities were limited; he was not afraid of losing his life, but he feared leaving his granddaughter uncared for... "Are you two also being bullied by the Ye Group?" Xia Liu approached after listening to their conversation. "Hmm? Who are you?" The old man frowned. He hadn't sensed Xia Liu approaching at all, so he became cautious. "Hmph! The Ye Group is nothing but a company of scoundrels!" Little Ling glanced at Xia Liu and then turned to continue cursing to herself. "My name is Xia Liu, I've come here seeking compensation from the Ye Group," said Xia Liu with a smile as he introduced himself. "Hey, old man, my name is Zhou Taishan, and this is my granddaughter, Zhou Ling." Find your next read at My Virtual Library Empire "Nice to meet you, Old Master Zhou, and Miss Zhou Ling." "Not nice! You'd better not talk to me, or else I'll hit you!" Zhou Ling clenched her fists at Xia Liu, her mood very foul. If possible, she would unleash all her cultivation and smash the front entrance of the Ye Group. "Little Ling, that's no way to talk," scolded the old man. "Don't mind her, Old Master Zhou. I'm also filled with rage. I've been here for days, always blocked by the security guards," Xia Liu said with a helpless look. "Alas, we are in the same boat. I've reported to the police, but to no immediate effect." "I'm in the same situation. I feel that this isn't getting us anywhere. If I knew where their chairman lived, I'd go and wait at his doorstep. Maybe then I'd get the compensation faster." "Hmm? That's not a bad idea. If he doesn't pay up, I'll knock his teeth out!" Zhou Ling became interested upon hearing Xia Liu's suggestion. She was someone who revered martial force. If something could be resolved through strength, she wouldn't resort to any other method. "Young man, you shouldn't entertain such thoughts. To tell you the truth, behind the Ye Group stands a family that has passed down traditions for many years, with each generation being masters at martial arts," Zhou Taishan said, no longer trying to scold his granddaughter. Now seeing Xia Liu like this, he felt he had to intervene, or the young man might end up maimed. "Martial arts? I've learned a bit too; taking on five at once is definitely not a problem for me," Xia Liu said seriously. "Hehe, young man, you might have misunderstood me. The Ye family practices the kind of high-strength martial arts that generate Inner Qi, like what you see on TV, not some flashy, fruitless techniques," Zhou Taishan explained with a wry smile. "That still doesn't matter. It's not like they can kill me. I'm just here to get compensation," said Xia Liu. "Big brother, your martial arts can't compare to theirs, I advise you to go back," Zhou Ling looked at Xia Liu with disdain. With the martial arts moves on display, if they could compete with a martial artist who possessed Inner Qi, martial artists wouldn't be so esteemed. "Yeah, go back, little brother. There's plenty of time, and one day you'll get the compensation you're due." "Alright, I'll listen to you guys. To express my gratitude, I'd like to treat you to a meal." "Eating sounds great, Grandpa, let's go." "You just ate, girl, how can you be hungry again?" Zhou Taishan looked at his gluttonous granddaughter and couldn't help shaking his head. "Little brother, there's no need for a meal, just go back and attend to your matters. If we manage to get in for a talk, we'll definitely speak on your behalf." "Old master, if what you're saying is true, then you've saved my life, so I must insist on this meal, my car is right over there, let's go together. Zhou Ling, little sister, you can pick whatever you want to eat." "Whoa! Grandpa, if you're not going, I am!" Zhou Ling had already taken the lead, pulling Xia Liu along. Zhou Taishan wore an embarrassed face; they had just met Xia Liu, and here they were letting him treat them, which didn't make sense. In the end, Zhou Taishan didn't go. With his granddaughter's Yellow-Rank Peak cultivation, an ordinary Mysterious-Rank Primary-Level Warrior might not stand a chance against her, so there was no risk in her following Xia Liu alone. However, what Zhou Taishan never anticipated was that indeed something did happen on this trip. "Zhou Ling, little sister, are you full now?" Xia Liu asked gently as he watched Zhou Ling devouring chicken legs with both hands. "Just give me a moment…" While gracelessly munching on a chicken leg, Zhou Ling replied. A few minutes later, Zhou Ling leaned back in her chair and stretched out her body. "Whew… That was a really satisfying meal." "Hehe, as long as you're satisfied." Xia Liu gave a sly smile, then continued, "Zhou Ling, little sister, do you know where the Ye Family is?" "Hm? You treated me to a meal just to find out where the Ye Family is?" A flash of realization crossed Zhou Ling's mind as she gazed intently at Xia Liu. "I genuinely wanted to treat you, but the Ye Group smashed up all of my shops and seriously injured my staff. I must confront them for justice!" Seeing the determination in Xia Liu's expression, Zhou Ling was taken aback. It turned out she had misunderstood; this guy's sense of responsibility was simply too strong. "Alright! For the sake of my shop and my employees, and the shop left to me by my parents, let's go and confront the chairman of the Ye Group together!" Zhou Ling declared staunchly after a long silence. "Okay, when we get there, I'll take care of it." "Hehe, don't underestimate me; I could knock out a hundred of you with your puny frame," Zhou Ling chuckled, assessing Xia Liu. "Hehe, Zhou Ling, little sister, you really are formidable. You direct, and I'll drive." "Of course, I'm formidable. I'm a Yellow-Rank... cough, turn left…" Just as Zhou Ling was about to reveal her martial artist identity, she quickly stopped herself. Xia Liu merely smiled slightly without further comment. Since he had unsealed his Sealing yesterday, he hadn't resealed it. This time, with Zhou Ling accompanying him, as long as there weren't any Earth-Rank High-Level warriors, he should be able to protect her. Of course, he definitely wouldn't let her get involved. If possible, he would have her wait in the car. Under Zhou Ling's direction, Xia Liu drove out of the city, heading down the forest road towards its deeper reaches. "We should be about three kilometers away from the Ye Family estate now."
