Chapter 602: 602
Zhou Yu finally understood Ye Zhongshan’s meaning.
Clearly, Ye Zhongshan understood his relationship with Lin Luoluo and also knew about his relationship with the Lin Family, which is why he had told him all this.
Cold light flickered in Zhou Yu’s eyes.
"The Bai Family can fight to death all they want, it has nothing to do with me, but if they want to cause trouble in Yancheng, then I won’t show any mercy," he said.
"Besides, in the current state of Qinzhou, even if the Bai Family comes, it’s not certain what they can do."
Ye Zhongshan shook his head and said,
"Zhou Yu, you are thinking too simply."
"The old master of the Bai Family has a significant connection to you."
"If he dies now, your troubles will be enormous."
Zhou Yu was startled.
"I don’t even know the old master of the Bai Family in Shanghai. What does he have to do with me?" he asked.
Ye Zhongshan said with a meaningful tone,
"You should know that the Zhao Family and Yan Family from the Capital City have always been against the Lin Family."
"But do you know why, despite targeting a minor Lin Family, they chose not to act themselves but instead looked for proxies to deal with the Lin Family in such an unnecessary manner?"
Zhou Yu’s brows furrowed.
He had thought about this question before but had never figured it out.
"Why?" asked Zhou Yu.
Ye Zhongshan began to explain.
"It’s because of the old master of the Bai Family in Shanghai, or to be precise, the old master of the Bai Family in Shanghai."
"It is he who has been deterring these families from behind."
"If not for the old master of the Bai Family in Shanghai, the Lin Family would no longer exist by now."
"One month ago, the health of the Bai Family’s old master became critical. The Zhao Family and the Yan Family from the Capital City became restless immediately. That is why you have successively encountered Zhao Songqing, Zhao Zhinian from the Zhao Family, and Yan Bin, Yan Xiangwen, Yan Qu from the Yan Family."
A flash of shock passed through Zhou Yu’s eyes.
He had never expected that there was such a connection behind the appearance of these individuals.
"Of course, their appearance was only a probe."
"Once the old master of the Bai Family really dies, the Zhao Family and Yan Family from the Capital City, and perhaps even other families, will have no more reservations and will strike with all their might."
"By then, just relying on yourself, Qi Guochang, and Wei Wuya, you won’t be able to protect the Lin Family," he said.
Ye Zhongshan gazed deeply at Zhou Yu.
"Now, do you understand?"
Zhou Yu fell silent.
He knew that Ye Zhongshan was right.
He was not so arrogant as to believe that with his current strength, he could face the full force of these major families alone.
However, Zhou Yu felt that there was more to this matter than meets the eye.
Suddenly, he looked at Ye Zhongshan.
"Mr. Ye, your words have indeed solved some of my doubts," he said.
"But..."
"After saying so much, surely you’re not simply reminding me and clearing up my confusion."
"You don’t want the old master of the Bai Family in Shanghai to die either, do you?"
Ye Zhongshan gave a slight smile.
He nodded very frankly,
"Yes, I have some friendship with the old master of the Bai Family and certainly do not wish for him to die."
"Under the current circumstances, with Saint Physician’s whereabouts unknown, probably only you can save the old master of the Bai Family."
"Of course, that’s not my main purpose."
Zhou Yu raised an eyebrow.
"Then what is your purpose?" he asked.
Ye Zhongshan smiled and said,
"The time is not right to speak frankly. When the time is ripe, I will naturally tell you."
"Of course, by then, you will have the choice to accept or refuse. It doesn’t matter either way. You are my life-saving benefactor, and whatever your choice, it will not affect this gratitude."
"Speaking of gratitude, the reason I asked you to come here was also to repay a debt of gratitude."
"Gratitude?"
Zhou Yu thought it unnecessary, as he had saved Ye Zhongshan solely because he had promised the Saint Physician.
But Ye Zhongshan waved his hand and said,
"Zhou Yu, let me finish."
"Regardless of why you saved me, the fact is, you indeed saved me, so I will help you with two things."
"First, within the boundaries of Qin State, I can ensure the safety of all your friends and family."
"I know you have a good relationship with Qi Guochang and Wei Wuya, but if the forces from the Capital City and Shanghai City were to strike with full force, they wouldn’t be able to hold them off."
"But I can."
Just these simple sentences exuded an extremely powerful sense of oppression.
No one would doubt the credibility of Ye Zhongshan’s words.
Nothing he said could be anything but the truth.
Zhou Yu took a deep breath.
"Thank you, Elder Ye."
"Second, you are now being noticed by more and more important figures, and in addition, your saving me this time has, invisibly, offended many people."
"So, I will give you an identity that ensures, at least in the public eye, no one dares to touch you casually."
"You might not need it in Qin State, but if you plan to go to Shanghai City one day, it will be of great help."
"That’s all I wanted to say."
After listening to Ye Zhongshan’s words, Zhou Yu didn’t know what to say for a moment.
Facing figures of Ye Zhongshan’s status, whose thought processes and logical rigor far exceeded the imagination of ordinary people, often left one feeling at a loss for words, powerless to respond.
Ye Zhongshan first revealed the relationship between the Bai Family and the Lin Family of Shanghai City and then granted him two enormous favors under the guise of repaying his debt.
Even a fool could see that Ye Zhongshan was encouraging him to go to Shanghai City, even going so far as to preemptively solve his potential problems.
Normally, with Zhou Yu’s temperament, he would have been furious at being manipulated like this.
But strangely, Zhou Yu couldn’t get angry.
What’s worse, he didn’t find anything improper about Ye Zhongshan’s actions.
After a long while, Zhou Yu sighed.
"Elder Ye, you’ve thought of everything and done everything."
"It seems I don’t have much choice."
Ye Zhongshan smiled and said,
"No worries, no rush. I can give you some time to think it over."
"However, with the incident involving Wang Tianfeng, you can see that facing such masters, Qi Guochang and Wei Wuya can’t help you much anymore. And in the future, there will only be more such powerful opponents."
One had to admit, Ye Zhongshan’s words struck right at the heart of the matter.
Zhou Yu didn’t speak further.
"Alright, let’s end the conversation here for today."
Ye Zhongshan pulled out a piece of paper and placed it in front of Zhou Yu.
"This is Wang Tianfeng’s current address."
"If you can’t deal with him, I can have someone take care of it for you."
Zhou Yu’s eyes narrowed as he picked up the piece of paper.
"Thank you, Elder Ye. This man, I plan to deal with myself."
Having said that, he nodded to Elder Ye and then left.
Watching Zhou Yu’s departing figure, Ye Zhongshan suddenly spoke up.
"Do you think he can kill Wang Tianfeng?"
In the previously empty tea house, a raspy voice suddenly spoke up.
"Based on their Primordial Spirit battle a few days ago, his strength is probably not enough to kill Wang Tianfeng."
Ye Zhongshan chuckled.
"Is that so?"
"But his words make me feel he’s very confident!"
"That’s just the impulsive talk of a young man," the raspy voice spoke again.
Ye Zhongshan didn’t speak, his eyes twinkling as he pondered.
