Chapter 15: Chapter 15: Making You Suffer a Little

Regarding Zhang Mingdong threatening Yan Rufeng, Su Changqing secretly instructed Mr. Zhang to send people to protect Yan Rufeng.

As for whether Su Changqing wanted to use this auction to promote the fact that Yan Rufeng was the carver of this Jade Buddha, he had to give up on that idea.

A slightly despondent Su Changqing had no choice but to take Yan Rufeng to take over the land at Wolong Abyss.

After paying, Yan Rufeng still had around twenty million left on him. Fortunately, he had received Ning Zhongnan’s gratitude fee; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to afford the land at Wolong Abyss.

The news that a piece of jade from the Treasure Pavilion had fetched two hundred million yuan spread across the Divine Land almost instantly through online platforms, even astonishing those in the Jade Sculpture Association.

They couldn’t believe that in modern society, anyone could carve a jade piece worth over a hundred million. So far, except for a few pieces displayed in museums and a few hidden away by reclusive families, such top-grade jade artifacts were relegated to legends.

As for the rumors online about a plain-looking young man being the Jade Sculpture Master from the Treasure Pavilion, the folks at the Jade Sculpture Association merely chuckled. After all, without an official announcement from the Treasure Pavilion, anyone could be their jade carver.

On the day the auction for the Jade Buddha ended, the Jade Sculpture Association sent people to Zhongzhou...

With the deed in hand, Yan Rufeng, Xiaxia, and Li Xiaofei prepared to visit Wolong Abyss.

At this moment, the people sent by Mr. Zhang appeared in front of Yan Rufeng.

"What do you mean by this?"

"Mr. Yan, it’s nothing. The old man is deeply concerned that Zhang Mingdong might cause you trouble, so..." Mr. Zhang bowed and explained.

"Take your people and leave. I, Yan Rufeng, have not fallen to the point where I need protection!"

Su Changqing understood Yan Rufeng’s message, gesturing for Mr. Zhang to withdraw his men because he knew that if they didn’t leave, it might anger Yan Rufeng. Plus, he also wanted to find out from where Yan Rufeng derived his confidence.

Leaving Zhongzhou Building, Li Xiaofei drove behind them. For Xiaxia’s safety, Yan Rufeng rode in the same car with her. Not long after, Yan Rufeng’s phone rang.

On the other end, Li Xiaofei’s voice was tense. "Rufeng, I feel like someone has been following us from behind."

"Xiaofei, your feeling is right."

"What do we do? Could it be that brat Zhang Mingdong from the auction?"

"Who else but him!"

"Rufeng, should we speed up and shake them off?"

"No need, Xiaofei. Just follow behind me!"

"What? Isn’t this like walking right into the lion’s den?"

Li Xiaofei couldn’t understand why Yan Rufeng deliberately let them follow and complained about it.

"Xiaofei, if you’re scared, turn around and go home."

"You want me to turn around and go home while you walk into death? Do you think I, Li Xiaofei, am that kind of person?"

"Then what are you afraid of!"

Yan Rufeng hung up the call. Li Xiaofei, driving behind Yan Rufeng’s car, slowed down, cracked his neck, and said seriously, "Looks like we have no choice but to fight today!"

An hour later, the group reached the area near Wolong Abyss. Driving over a bridge to an open space, they were met with a desolate scene. Rusty signs and slogans from a former construction company were strewn about, and the makeshift buildings of the project department, left unattended, were dilapidated and ravaged by the elements.

Yan Rufeng parked the car and instructed Xiaxia, "Xiaxia, no matter what happens, don’t get out of the car."

Seeing Yan Rufeng so serious, Xiaxia nodded in agreement, though she was too curious to stay put. As soon as Yan Rufeng stepped out of the car, she began to feel drowsy.

"Screech..."

"Screech..."

After a sharp brake sound, eight tattooed fatty men emerged from a van.

"Who is Yan Rufeng? Get over here now!"

The fattest of them shouted loudly.

Meanwhile, Li Xiaofei got out of the car.

"Just because you said to come out doesn’t mean we have to. That would be so undignified."

"Cut the crap. Brothers, get him and chop him up!"

Six to seven men wielding machetes charged at them.

Li Xiaofei had never seen such a scene and immediately pulled Yan Rufeng to run.

But no matter how hard Li Xiaofei pulled, he couldn’t budge Yan Rufeng.

Ordinary hoodlums drawing blades before a cultivator like Yan Rufeng could only mean one thing—death.

As the group raised their blades to strike, Li Xiaofei closed his eyes tightly and thought, "I can’t believe I’m going to die like this without ever having a girlfriend. I’m so unsatisfied!"

Seeing Li Xiaofei’s expression and hearing his words, Yan Rufeng almost burst out laughing.

To ensure his friend didn’t die young, Yan Rufeng made his move.

In an instant, an unseen wave erupted from Yan Rufeng, morphing into a mass of Qi Swords that covered the attackers. In no time, all seven were pierced through the heart and fell dead.

What happened next left the fat man at the van petrified. As soon as those seven fell to the ground, their bodies inexplicably burst into flames.

"Devil!"

"He’s a devil!"

"He’s a devil!"

The fat man went mad with fear, as what Yan Rufeng displayed couldn’t be explained by common sense.

Feeling the absence of knives cutting into him, Li Xiaofei opened his eyes. Seeing only the fat man running back to the van in terror and no sign of the others, he exclaimed, "Rufeng, weren’t they here to kill us? Why did they all run away scared?"

"If they intend to kill me, it’s time they paid for it."

Using his divine sense, Yan Rufeng penetrated the van and reached into the fat man’s Purple Mansion, erasing his memories of the day and implanting a command: "Break Zhang Mingdong’s arms and legs."

As the van’s engines roared and slowly faded away, Yan Rufeng turned to Li Xiaofei and said, "This is Wolong Abyss. From here, we will go global!"

"Go global?"

Li Xiaofei wondered to himself, "What kind of business does Rufeng do that’s so big..."

As Yan Rufeng continued his divine sense inspection, he discovered a problem with Wolong Abyss.

He smiled slightly and said, "No wonder no one dares to develop Wolong Abyss. Turns out, it’s their doing. I’ll deal with them tonight!"

Before they reached Jade Garden, two shocking headlines were already making waves on Zhongzhou’s city life network.

"Son of Zhongzhou’s richest man, Zhang Mingdong, has his limbs broken while dining with his girlfriend. His girlfriend, Chen Wanqiu, was so frightened she became mentally unstable."

"The assailant who broke Zhang Mingdong’s limbs was killed on the spot for resisting arrest and attacking the police..."

Back home, after reading these two news pieces, Yan Rufeng weakly said, "It won’t be long before the wealthiest man in Zhongzhou will change hands!"

"The wealthiest man in Zhongzhou will change hands? Then, who will be the next richest man?"

Hearing Yan Rufeng say this, Xiaxia, with her big, bright eyes, asked playfully.

"If I tell you it’s me, what would you think?"

"Pfft!"

Xiaxia flippantly waved her hand and started munching on a bag of chips.

"Xiaxia!"

"Why are you calling me Brother Rufeng? I’ve already told you, you won’t become Zhongzhou’s wealthiest man. Don’t tell me you’re serious about it!"

Xiaxia said seriously.

"I’m not discussing that with you. I want to ask you about the medicine pills I gave you last time. How did you feel?"

"Medicine pills, what medicine pills? I didn’t think you were that kind of person, Rufeng!" Next to them, Li Xiaofei laughed lewdly as he pointed an accusatory finger at Yan Rufeng upon hearing about medicine pills.

"Xiaofei, what are you talking about? I’m discussing serious matters. Go play with your phone."

"Li Xiaofei, your thoughts are so filthy. I just can’t understand how Brother Rufeng could have a friend like you. You simply have poor judgment in friends!"

"Alright, I’ll stay quiet. I’ll go play with my phone. You guys discuss your serious matters."

Li Xiaofei stood up to leave. Before he went, he pointed at Xiaxia behind her back, even though the voice was inaudible, the lip movement made it clear to Yan Rufeng.

"Buddy, get her tonight!"

Yan Rufeng shook his head helplessly and again asked Xiaxia about the medicine pills.

The magic of the pills had greatly benefited Xiaxia. Ever since she took them, without any makeup, Xiaxia looked more beautiful than any woman in her company. Her lips were red, her teeth sparkling, and her facial skin was tender and smooth.

Over the past few days, Xiaxia had been surrounded by colleagues at work, all eager to know her beauty secrets.
