This meal was truly harmonious and joyous.

People become invigorated when they encounter happy events.

For Mai Gu, Su Tong, and even Ye Guichen, this was a new beginning, a new beginning for the Shennong Sect.

Although the incident with Chen Ziran being attacked still cast a shadow, the thought of the Chen Group possibly entering Jinling made Chen Ziran unable to contain her excitement, leading her to drink a few more glasses.

At one point, Zuo Chunqiu personally led a group of Guanghan Palace executives to toast Ye Guichen, drawing everyone's attention.

Especially Chen Ziran, who had specifically researched the best places in Jinling to entertain guests, and Guanghan Palace was undoubtedly the top choice.

Her original plan was to take Wang Tianxing here for a meal after their business talks, but she didn't expect the big shot behind Guanghan Palace to treat Ye Guichen with such respect.

This made Chen Ziran wonder how much of a stir Ye Guichen had caused in Jinling during this time.

Although Su Tong and Mai Gu were also amazed by Ye Guichen's methods, they exchanged glances openly and secretly, communicating with their eyes, unable to hide their regret and hope.

Ye Guichen was indeed a prodigy and the sect leader of Shennong Sect, with a boundless future ahead of him. The Shennong Sect alone couldn't confine his potential.

If they could pair their beloved Linglong with Ye Guichen, it would truly be a happy ending for everyone.

But the two elders could also see that Ye Guichen was clearly enamored with Chen Ziran, and it wouldn't be easy for Linglong to intervene, leaving the two elders with some regret.

After the meal, Ye Guichen initially wanted to arrange for Su Tong and Linglong to stay at a hotel, but the two insisted on staying at the pharmacy. Especially Su Tong, whose excitement was no less than Mai Gu's, said he wanted to have a long talk with Mai Gu through the night to plan the future of the Shennong Sect.

Ye Guichen had no choice but to agree. He also wanted to take Chen Ziran back to Yan Family Lane and perhaps enjoy some intimacy, but Linglong insisted she and Chen Ziran hit it off and wanted to sleep together tonight.

Well, Ye Guichen had no choice but to agree.

However, Ye Guichen was still worried that Leng Wencheng might act in the dark, so he asked Ma Xiaoling to keep a close eye on things.

The pharmacy and the martial arts school had large premises, with many bedrooms set up inside, so accommodating a few people was no problem.

After arranging everything, it was already past ten o'clock at night.

Ye Guichen walked outside alone, looking at the still noisy and bustling street, squatting at the entrance of the pharmacy and playing with a cigarette in his hand.

Leng Wencheng hiding in the dark was always a hidden danger. Taking him out might not be difficult, but the difficult part was finding him.

If he kept hiding, it would be like a thorn in his heart, making it hard to find peace.

After thinking about it, Ye Guichen took out his phone and called Duan Nanye: "Brother Duan, help me find someone."

After briefly explaining the situation with Leng Wencheng and the Leng Family Eight Heroes, Duan Nanye was taken aback: "Brother Ye, Leng Family Eight Heroes? How did you get into a conflict with them?"

Ye Guichen detected that Duan Nanye seemed to know about the Leng Family Eight Heroes and asked curiously, "Do you know them?"

"Of course I do!" Duan Nanye seemed to be lying in bed, with the sound of the bed creaking and then the sound of lighting a cigarette.

After taking a puff, Duan Nanye continued, "Brother Ye, to be honest, we at Dragon Teeth have been watching the Leng Family Eight Heroes for some time. They haven't posed any threat to society, so we just keep an eye on them and haven't taken action. But these people are completely different from the assassins of Yama Hall. The Yama Hall assassins only recognize money, not people. When King Yan dies, they scatter with the wind. They have no loyalty.

But the Leng Family Eight Heroes are different. It's said that Leng Bosun recruited people with solid physiques from all over the country when they were under ten years old. They were all renamed and cut off from the outside world, trained to become death soldiers for the Leng Family. On top of that, these eight people always appear in pairs, live separately, and undergo rigorous training. For them, besides training, there's no personal life. They're killing machines, true killing machines. They have no emotions and only listen to the Leng Family's orders. Even if the Leng Family told them to take their own heads off, they wouldn't hesitate."

Upon hearing this, Ye Guichen's brow furrowed.

If it was as Duan Nanye said, then when Wang Tianxing overthrew the Leng Family and almost wiped them out, it was largely due to luck.

If the Leng Family Eight Heroes were all present, Wang Tianxing's people might have been the ones killed instead.

Judging by the Leng Family Eight Heroes' capabilities, even in a direct confrontation, they should easily be able to kill Wang Tianxing.

But Leng Wencheng didn't rush things, and today, Wang Tianxing narrowly escaped, likely because Leng Wencheng didn't intend to kill him yet.

If that's the case, Leng Wencheng's plan probably involves more than just Wang Tianxing's life. Besides keeping Wang Tianxing in fear, Leng Wencheng might have other ambitions.

Could it be the Azure Dragon Commerce?

Ye Guichen felt this was possible, but it wasn't important.

"Brother Duan, please help me find Leng Wencheng and the Leng Family Eight Heroes as soon as possible," Ye Guichen said after a moment of contemplation.

Duan Nanye kindly reminded him, "Brother Ye, I know you're highly skilled and fearless, but sometimes the world is scarier than we think. I can investigate for you, but remember this: if you can reconcile with Leng Wencheng, that's the best. If you encounter the Leng Family Eight Heroes together, don't fight them head-on. Understand?"

Ye Guichen gave a wry smile and didn't refuse Duan Nanye's goodwill: "I understand."

Not long after hanging up the phone, two cars arrived in front of Ye Guichen, with Shui Liao and Ning Chengwen disembarking.

They had rushed over immediately after receiving Ye Guichen's call, looking travel-worn from the hours-long journey.

Seeing the two of them again made Ye Guichen quite emotional.

Shui Liao was fine; Ye Guichen had seen him not long ago.

Shui Liao now looked in good spirits, his towering frame and bronze skin exuding a powerful presence.

Today, he was wearing a sleeveless shirt, his exposed arms looking like solid blocks of muscle ready to explode. It seemed even blades couldn't harm him now.

As for Ning Chengwen, he didn't look as imposing as Shui Liao, but his formerly silly demeanor was gone.

Ning Chengwen, shorter than Shui Liao by half a head, had slightly reddened eyes as he ran to Ye Guichen like a child seeing a family member: "Immortal brother, I've missed you so much."

Being called immortal brother brought a touch of sadness to Ye Guichen's heart.

When he first met Ning Chengwen, Ning Chengwen was considered a fool by others. Now, with his training, his meridians were fully opened, and his mind became clear.

However, in Ning Chengwen's eyes, Ye Guichen remained his immortal brother.

"Chengwen, what immortal brother. You're older than me; just call me by my name if you like," Ye Guichen chuckled.

Ning Chengwen shook his head like a rattle: "Immortal brother, without you, I would have been a despised fool forever. Even my own family wouldn't respect me. But now, they revere me, all thanks to you. You're my immortal brother, always."

Ye Guichen sighed, knowing Ning Chengwen's words came from the heart. He could only sigh and say, "Alright, as you wish."

He greeted Shui Liao: "Hungry?"

Shui Liao grinned sheepishly: "Hungry."

"Let's go, I'll take you to eat, then arrange some work for you," Ye Guichen said, leading them to a nearby beef restaurant.

With these two big guys, Ye Guichen didn't plan to treat them to something fancy; getting them full was enough.

However, as Ye Guichen led Shui Liao and Ning Chengwen away, a figure emerged from the shadows, staring at the newly hung sign of the pharmacy. After a long pause, the person's mouth curved into a smile as they muttered, "Interesting, this kid named Ye is getting involved with Wang Tianxing. Heh, interesting."
