Chapter 189: Chapter 187 Yang Family, Invincible in Qianzhou

Long Chen’s words had barely faded when Xia Ling stared at him in disbelief, her mouth slightly open, but she was speechless.

Because she had never imagined that Long Chen could articulate her thoughts and feelings so precisely without missing a mark.

Seeing Xia Ling’s surprised expression, Long Chen knew he had guessed right.

"Little fool, did I guess right?"

Long Chen pinched Xia Ling’s cheek.

Regaining her composure, Xia Ling excitedly wrapped her arms around Long Chen’s neck, "I just knew it, you understand me, and only you understand me, I only want you to understand me."

"Xia Ling, I also hope that one day, I can take you wandering through Tian Ya, roaming the world of Martial Arts, being supreme over Martial Arts, with beauties accompanying us on either side, it must be an extremely joyful affair."

Long Chen said with a light laugh.

"Hehe, just afraid that at that time, it won’t just be beauties on either side, but a whole bunch at the back too, that would be troublesome."

Xia Ling chuckled.

"Cough, what do you mean by that?"

"Do I really need to spell it out? You big cloven hoof."

Xia Ling glanced at Long Chen, "There are already two in your family."

"So, have you had breakfast yet? How about we eat together?"

Long Chen quickly tried to change the subject.

"I already ate, and I don’t want to get fat, or you’ll dislike me," Xia Ling said in a coquettish voice.

"I will never dislike you."

"Come on, you cloven hoof, stop changing the subject, let’s talk about serious matters.

The Nangong Family and the Yang Family have never given up trying to meddle with our Dragon Doctor, but right now, the two families are at each other’s throats.

They are competing over who will take charge of our Dragon Doctor. Honestly, both families are too arrogant, they don’t really consider us at all.

What I’m saying is, we should take advantage of this opportunity to do something."

"Let them fight first, I want to see what they are truly capable of."

Long Chen said casually.

"Don’t underestimate them too easily; after all, the Martial Arts families have always been mysterious, and we don’t really know their true strengths. Although I have researched a lot, I haven’t been able to find out the true strength of the Martial Arts families. It’s said that the top experts among the Martial Arts families can sever mountains and rivers with a sword. Although I think it’s an exaggeration, this also indirectly shows that the Martial Arts families possess a terrifying power that ordinary people can’t match."

Xia Ling said seriously.

"What is there to fear?" Long Chen said, "Any power, when exercised for righteousness, will continue to prosper, but those who stray from righteousness, even if they acquire tremendous power, will ultimately come to ruin."

"You..."

Xia Ling wanted to tease Long Chen about his formal way of speaking.

But, seeing Long Chen’s serious face, Xia Ling felt somewhat awed instead.

Throughout history, those with wicked intentions have always met bad ends.

"Xia Ling, be it the Yang Family or the Nangong Family, they’re merely eyeing the immeasurable wealth of our Dragon Doctor now and wish to take possession of it.

These profit-driven families also delusionally want to meddle with our Dragon Doctor; it’s simply wishful thinking. You don’t have to be afraid; no matter how powerful they are, in the end, I can make them all back off."

Long Chen said sternly.

Xia Ling nodded vigorously, "I believe you."

"Mm, if later, either of these two families comes to the company to cause trouble, contact me immediately, and I will come as quickly as possible," Long Chen said.

"Got it."

Xia Ling leaned into Long Chen’s arms, feeling much safer.

Bang, bang.

At that moment, Xia Ling’s secretary knocked on the door, "President Xia, there’s a visitor."

Xia Ling paused, then whispered with a wry smile, "Every time I want to get close to you, my secretary always shows up ’right on time.’ It’s really strange; I think she’s my little nemesis."

Long Chen couldn’t help but chuckle, "Haha, you might as well find out who the visitor is first."

"Got it."

Xia Ling stood up and straightened her appearance before saying, "Come in and speak."

The secretary walked into the office, and upon seeing Long Chen there, she blushed, recalling the last encounter.

Then the secretary whispered, "President Xia, Brother Long, the visitor claims to be someone from the Yang Family and wants to see President Xia. He seems quite arrogant, and I’m not sure of his intentions, so I came to consult you."

"Let him in," Long Chen said with a smile.

"This..."

The secretary looked at Xia Ling.

Xia Ling said, "What Brother Dragon says is also what I say."

"I understand."

The secretary turned and left.

Long Chen grabbed Xia Ling’s hand, and her face blushed as she coquettishly said, "Annoying."

Long Chen smiled slightly and said, "Your prestige is still much higher than mine."

"Isn’t that what comes with being a hands-off manager? Besides, can’t you just overpower me?"

Xia Ling blinked her bright eyes.

Long Chen was slightly surprised as he listened. Xia Ling’s driving skills were like Divine Transformation, seamlessly perfect.

"Then I must find an opportunity to thoroughly test this and see if I can completely conquer."

"I’m looking forward to it too."

Xia Ling wasn’t afraid at all and didn’t act demure in front of Long Chen.

Long Chen liked this kind of personality very much.

A moment later, the secretary brought two men to the office.

One was old, older than seventy, and the middle-aged one was just over forty.

The two men wore ancient clothing and had long hair, which seemed out of place in the modern city, almost as if they had crossed over from ancient times.

"Director Xia, my name is Yang Shenhuai, the head of the Yang Family. This is my son, Yang Ji, the future helmsman of the Yang Family. We have come to visit today, and if we have been presumptuous, please forgive us."

Yang Shenhuai made a greeting gesture, giving a very polite impression, nothing like the arrogance the secretary had mentioned earlier.

"Please have a seat," Xia Ling said with a smile as she rose.

Then, Xia Ling asked the secretary to serve tea to Yang Shenhuai and Yang Ji.

"What brings you here today?" Xia Ling asked calmly as she sat down.

"Father, shall I speak?" Yang Ji asked his father Yang Shenhuai with a smile.

"You speak," Yang Shenhuai said.

"Alright."

Yang Ji stood up, looked directly at Xia Ling, and said, "Director Xia, a woman managing such a large-scale operation as Dragon Doctor is truly admirable.

But now, times have changed, Great Xia’s Martial Arts families are stepping into society, which will inevitably stir up many waves.

They are ambitious, each like a hungry wolf, ready to pounce. In their eyes, Dragon Doctor is a succulent piece of meat and they will not let go easily.

Without the help of a Martial Arts family, you will never be able to hold onto Dragon Doctor, so we have come."

"Mr. Yang, I don’t quite understand what you mean. Could you clarify?"

Xia Ling remained composed.

Beside her, Long Chen also listened calmly.

Yang Ji pondered briefly and then said gravely, "Our intention is simple. The Yang Family is unbeatable in Qianzhou, and we hope to become good partners with Dragon Doctor, to jointly manage Dragon Doctor, ensuring that this great vessel can sail steadily around the world and benefit all humanity."

"Leaving aside whether the Yang Family truly is unbeatable in Qianzhou, let’s talk about the collaboration. Suppose, and I mean just suppose, if I agree, how would the profits be split, in your opinion?" Xia Ling asked with a smile.

"The distribution of profits is very simple. We only want four-tenths of the past profits, and six-tenths of the future profits. What do you think, Director Xia?" Yang Ji asked, his eyes sharp as he gazed at Xia Ling.

Xia Ling sneered and couldn’t help saying, "You really dare to ask for a lot, demanding four-tenths of the profits of Dragon Doctor straight away."

"Yang Family is unbeatable in Qianzhou, and we will be the guardian deities of Qianzhou’s Martial Arts. Asking for your past four-tenths and future six-tenths of the profits isn’t excessive. You should know, amidst strife, Dragon Doctor could fragment and then be devoured by all parties. At that point, how much benefit do you think you could retain? So, frankly, aligning with us is your best option," Yang Shenhuai said confidently as he stood up.

"Director Xia, sometimes one must have life first; only then does money become useful," Yang Ji added meaningfully.

This was an outright threat to Xia Ling.

Xia Ling furrowed her brows. These Martial Arts families were too aggressive and overbearing.

She glanced involuntarily at Long Chen beside her.

Long Chen did not stand up but simply glanced indifferently at Yang Shenhuai and Yang Ji, and said, "Please leave for now. As you stand, you can’t yet claim to be unbeatable in Qianzhou.

I’ve heard that the Yang Family and the Nangong Family have been fiercely contesting each other lately. You haven’t even settled the score with the Nangong Family and yet dare to claim that you are unbeatable in Qianzhou and want to share our success. That’s hard to believe.

If you truly have earnest intentions, then show us some of your strength to impress us. After all, anyone can make empty claims."
