Leaving behind a warning, Yang Yu turned and left.
As soon as his front foot was out the door, Ye Yu and Ito Kiko appeared in front of Wu Kui.
Without a doubt, these two girls were here to keep an eye on her.
"Forget it, at least two people stayed to keep me company, otherwise I’d die of boredom." Wu Kui huffed twice and then started chatting with Ye Yu: "Tsk tsk, you actually have the inheritance of the Demon’s Eye, and you even possess the Soul Suppressing Skull, a perfect match for practicing Evil Magic... Huh? Why aren’t you talking?"
Ye Yu glanced at Wu Kui and said, "Brother Yang Yu told me not to bother with you, you’re not a good woman."
"He actually slandered me like that!" Wu Kui’s eyes widened with anger, turning to Ito Kiko, she said, "Girl, you’re suffering from physical exhaustion, your hair has even turned white..."
"If it weren’t for you dragging Mr. Yang away last time, I almost died at the hands of those people from the Witch Clan, I wouldn’t have ended up ." Ito Kiko stared coldly at Wu Kui, "I’m already being nice by not killing you, don’t talk to me anymore, I’m afraid I won’t be able to resist drawing my sword."
"Uh..." Wu Kui immediately felt embarrassed, "Actually, I was just doing someone a favor..."
Ito Kiko simply closed her eyes, ignoring Wu Kui, who was left feeling utterly frustrated.
If it were other girls, she might have been able to deceive them into chatting with her, then badmouth Yang Yu a bit.
But both of these girls had participated in the recent battle at Fengdu, she was lucky they had not torn her to shreds.
Expecting them to chat? Dream on.
With no other choice, she could only close her eyes, concentrate and gather energy, hoping to regain her strength.
After her encounter with Yang Yu, her power vanished rapidly, leaving her completely helpless.
According to the Witch Clan’s records, the High Priest must remain pure for life, otherwise, she would lose all her power and bring great disaster to the Witch Clan.
Only by killing the impure High Priest and selecting a new one can the ancient power of the gods be bestowed upon the new High Priest of the Witch Clan.
If the Wu Clan Members found out that she, as the High Priest, had lost her abilities, they would certainly kill her as a sacrifice to the gods.
Wu Kui didn’t want to die, and she knew how beautiful she was; falling under the control of wicked people would be worse than death now that she had lost her power.
After thinking it through, the only person who could protect her was Yang Yu.
Although she wasn’t free here, at least she was safe and didn’t worry about food and clothing, which was better than wandering outside, constantly fearing for her life.
At the same time, Wu Kui felt that something must have gone wrong, her power couldn’t just vanish into thin air, she had to figure out the key and restore her strength.
No matter how strong a man is, he’s not reliable; having one’s own strength is the most reliable thing!
Yang Yu returned to his place, only to find Yi Xuanji already waiting for him: "Yang Yu, I heard you brought home another beautiful girl?"
"Yes..." Yang Yu recounted the matter with Wu Kui, feeling he had no need to hide it from Yi Xuanji.
"What?" Yi Xuanji’s eyes widened, "I thought I could be the fourth, and now I have to be the fifth? Yang Yu, that’s too much!"
Yang Yu couldn’t help but roll his eyes: "Stop it, it’s annoying. This woman is very cunning, even if she has lost all her power, we still have to be careful. If one day she regains her power, apart from me, even if you all joined forces, you wouldn’t be able to handle her."
"Don’t worry, I think she won’t cause trouble, she’s just a lost girl who wants a home." Yi Xuanji said, "Her arrival will bring you good fortune and luck. Remember, she’s the mother of your child."
The issue with Wu Kui could only be resolved temporarily, and Yang Yu still proceeded with his established itinerary to Yanjing.
His purpose for this trip was simple, which was to "exchange feelings" with the prominent families in Yanjing and see if there was room for Tianhai Commerce to expand there.
What he needed to do now was to make the Li Family suffer and then find ways to shake the foundation of the Li Family.
The Li Family had a large family business, and directly confronting them in business could easily result in mutual destruction.
The Li Family was clearly aware of this fact, so they hadn’t made a move either.
However, a battle between them was inevitable sooner or later, and Yang Yu would do as much as he could now to avoid a passive fight!
"Master, Yang Yu has arrived in Yanjing," the Li Family’s butler Li Feng reported as he walked into the Li Family’s hall, "and he has also been sending out invitations everywhere, inviting the socialites of Yanjing to attend his party at the Xia Family’s.
Li Ruihong laughed, "Has he sent one to our Li Family?"
"No." Li Feng shook his head, "This person really doesn’t know how to appreciate favors. He doesn’t give any face."
"Haha, that’s exactly his personality!" Li Ruihong laughed, "Since we’re already enemies, why bother with saving face? If he were my son, how wonderful that would be, sigh!"
Li Feng didn’t know what to say, standing there at a loss for words.
Li Ruihong continued, "No worries, let him be busy with his antics... By the way, didn’t he rescue Ms. Zhong Kexin last time? I wonder if she received an invitation?"
"Ms. Zhong Kexin?" Li Feng immediately understood the implication and nodded continuously, "Master, I know what to do."
"Yang Yu, did you send an invitation to Zhong Kexin?"
Chou Hongfei, who came to discuss matters with Yang Yu, asked this question first thing, and Yang Yu shook his head, "No."
"I suggest you send her an invitation," Chou Hongfei furrowed his brows, "Although you saved her, after she came back, she said a lot of bad things about you. She said you didn’t care about her life or death and that you were extremely rough with her. If it wasn’t for her luck, she would have died in the Southern Ocean."
"She’s determined to cause trouble for you. If Captain Long hadn’t said that you were just a contractor doing temporary work and not subject to our rules, her father might actually have gone after you."
"Heh, talk about repaying kindness with enmity," Yang Yu sneered coldly, "I can’t be bothered with such rubbish. I’m just a businessman, and I’m not even in the same league as a young lady like her. There’s no need to send her an invitation."
What Yang Yu actually wanted to say was that the more humble he was, the more arrogant she would become.
He didn’t want to provoke her at all and preferred to have no further dealings with her.
However, if she really kept pestering him, Yang Yu might as well completely withdraw from the Yanhuang Team. What could she do to him then?
Dream on about sending her an invitation!
"Yang Yu, Yang Yu," Xia Zi barged in shouting loudly, her eyes filled with shock, "You actually made a move on Zhong Kexin?"
"What are you talking about?" Yang Yu glared at Xia Zi, "What do you mean I made a move on Zhong Kexin?"
"I just heard that when you were in the Southern Ocean, you saved Zhong Kexin, and then you forced yourself on her that very night," Xia Zi said, "Now she has gathered many of her admirers, planning to cause a big scene at your party."
