"He already hung himself with his shoelaces last night out of guilt."
"He deserved to die."
Ye Qingzhou clapped his hands and praised, "This way, there’s no one left to testify against me. Brilliant, simply brilliant."
If Ye Qingzhou had angrily questioned him, Wang Anyuan might have felt more at ease.
But seeing the young man in front of him face such injustice with calm composure, even having the mood to joke, Wang Anyuan felt a chill down his spine and goosebumps all over.
Such depth of character, this child is terrifying!
"Ahem, Student Ye, the president knows you were wronged in this matter, but many things cannot be done impulsively; we must consider the big picture."
After speaking, Wang Anyuan took out a brocade box he had prepared in advance and gently placed it in front of Ye Qingzhou. "This is compensation from the Xiang Province Martial Arts Association to you, Student Ye."
As soon as the brocade box was opened, a unique aroma wafted in, enveloping Ye Qingzhou’s nose, invigorating his spirit.
The treasure before him was like liquid crystal, translucent and colorful, exuding a peculiar wave of Primordial Qi. Just a sniff made every cell in his body active, vibrant, and bursting with life.
"This is Congo Jade Marrow, produced from the Coiling Dragon Immortal Tree in Lingyun Grotto Heaven. It’s invaluable, with miraculous effects on enhancing a Martial Artist’s aptitude and constitution, worth its weight in gold."
Wang Anyuan’s tone was gentle and persuasive, clearly hoping Ye Qingzhou would accept the compensation and let bygones be bygones.
In the world of adults, nothing cannot be exchanged for benefits.
If it were before, with Ye Qingzhou’s money-loving nature, he might have accepted it.
But now that he has achieved Great Success in Divine Skill, why would he humiliate himself for a little external gain?
Moreover, he’s a genius unmatched in a million, does he really need Congo Jade Marrow to further enhance his aptitude and constitution?
Ridiculous!
Ye Qingzhou took a deep breath of the Congo Jade Marrow’s fragrance again, then closed the brocade box lid and pushed it back in front of Wang Anyuan.
Wang Anyuan was dumbfounded: "Student Ye, what do you mean by this?"
"I don’t want it. Governor Wang, please leave."
Ye Qingzhou’s tone was calm, his face showing no emotion.
But the more he remained unperturbed, the more alarmed Wang Anyuan became, quickly trying to persuade him: "Student Ye, you’re still young, with a promising future. Please don’t go down the path of crime. Take my advice; it isn’t worth it. When you succeed and gain fame in the future, seeking revenge would be as simple as saying a word."
Ye Qingzhou shook his head, "Thanks for Governor Wang’s kindness, but I’m not patient enough to wait that long."
"Student Ye, don’t act impulsively, please trust the Martial Arts Association. We will definitely give you an explanation on this matter."
Wang Anyuan was now trembling, fearing that if Ye Qingzhou really went to kill Xing Jiansong, with Zhao Baoming’s protective nature, this matter would not end well.
However, Ye Qingzhou didn’t care who Xing Jiansong’s backing was. Since the opponent initiated the conflict, Ye Qingzhou naturally wanted to repay blood with blood.
"Governor Wang, it’s not that I haven’t waited, but you’ve seen the results. Justice, if others won’t give it to me, I’ll have to take it myself."
Then Ye Qingzhou ignored Wang Anyuan’s unpleasant expression and left the principal’s office directly.
Outside, Xu Lan, seeing Ye Qingzhou exit expressionless, asked, "Was the talk successful?"
"It fell apart."
Ye Qingzhou’s tone was calm, but Xu Lan could still hear a hint of killing intent: "Why? Was the compensation not enough?"
"Upper Grade Treasures, Congo Jade Marrow. It’s a good thing, but I don’t care for it."
"..."
Xu Lan felt suffocated: "This is Congo Jade Marrow we’re talking about, a top-tier treasure among Upper Grade Treasures, and you don’t want it?"
"If it was before I went to Thunder Accumulation Mountain, such a thing might have been beneficial to me. But this trip to Thunder Accumulation Mountain has yielded great gains, and I no longer need such items to enhance my aptitude and constitution."
Ye Qingzhou, during his time at Thunder Accumulation Mountain, observed the Fire Date Tree’s operation of Qi, understood the "Twenty-Four God Existence Visualization Technique" and the Spiritual Network, and now has mastered Immortal Techniques like the Grand Emperor Undying and One Tree Becomes a Forest, able to use the Power of Nature to convert Primordial Qi into Innate Wood Qi.
Although Congo Jade Marrow is precious, its effects are actually similar to Innate Wood Qi.
Of course, if one were to beg at Thunder Accumulation Mountain for ten years, they might not gather the equivalent Innate Wood Qi compared to one portion of Congo Jade Marrow’s medicinal power.
Thus the value of a piece of Congo Jade Marrow is indeed immeasurable, worth its weight in gold.
But Ye Qingzhou can transform Innate Wood Qi himself, in large quantities. He probably doesn’t even need a week to achieve the equivalent effect of consuming Congo Jade Marrow, so why compromise himself for this?
Xu Lan sighed upon hearing this, "Did you know that behind Xing Jiansong stands the Master Level Martial Artist Zhao Baoming? His strength is formidable, and it’s said he’s about to be promoted to the Grandmaster Realm, even Zhao Zhiyi, president of the Xiang Province Martial Arts Association, is making efforts to win him over."
Zhao Baoming is a Martial Artist from a humble background, orphaned young, relying on his only family, his sister.
Later, Zhao Baoming’s sister married Xing Jiansong and even gave birth to Xing Yaoming.
With Zhao Baoming’s protection, Xing Jiansong naturally thrived in Star City, fearing no one.
He had done similar things more than once; only this time he kicked the iron plate named Ye Qingzhou, causing trouble.
