The person hiding in the shadows was none other than Leng Wencheng.

Accompanying him were two tall men, nearly two meters tall.

The men were wearing ancient armor, which, if seen, would probably be mistaken for actors in a movie shoot.

Leng Wencheng didn't know Chen Ziran, but while dealing with Wang Tianxing, he encountered Chen Ziran and decided to have someone follow her.

As a result, it became apparent that Chen Ziran was actually Ye Guichen's fiancée.

Leng Wencheng's hatred for Ye Guichen was not much less than his hatred for Wang Tianxing.

After all, Ye Guichen was the one who killed his second brother Leng Wujiu.

But Wang Tianxing was even more ruthless, directly killing Leng Bosun and aiming to eliminate the entire Leng Family.

"I never expected that I would be dealing with Wang Tianxing first before coming for you, but you sent yourself right into my hands, truly asking for death!"

Seeing Ye Guichen and his two companions enter a beef noodle restaurant from a distance, Leng Wencheng's lips curled into a bloodthirsty smile: "Lao Qi, Lao Ba, tell Lao San and Lao Si to meet those two big guys. Hehe, those two seem to have some skills; they must be Ye's reinforcements. Let them have a hearty meal now, we'll send them off later!"

...

Inside the beef noodle restaurant.

Shuiliao barely said a word, being the type who couldn't utter a single fart in half a day, focusing only on eating.

Ning Chengwen, on the other hand, had never left Qinghe since childhood, and now acted like a child seeing countless new things, excitedly recounting various experiences to Ye Guichen while eating.

Initially, the owner of the restaurant didn't think much of it, since many tall and robust individuals frequented the place.

However, soon enough, the beef noodles were running out, as the two big guys had already consumed twelve bowls.

The restaurant owner was struggling to keep up, watching Shuiliao and Ning Chengwen gulp down their food with jaws dropped, and he approached Ye Guichen, unable to resist asking: "Sir, your two friends sure can eat?"

Ye Guichen grinned: "Boss, isn't it good that they can eat? They're probably just half-full now. Hurry up and make more, it took me a lot of effort to treat them, can't let them leave hungry."

With that, he threw a wad of cash to the owner.

The owner quickly caught it and roughly counted, finding it to be around two thousand yuan.

The beef noodles here were not particularly expensive, due to the location being slightly pricier than elsewhere, roughly twenty yuan per bowl.

The two thousand yuan was enough for about a hundred bowls, nearly matching his daily income.

"Alright, I'll start immediately!" The owner couldn't resist the money, hurriedly running to the back kitchen.

In the end, albeit not eating a hundred bowls, Shuiliao and Ning Chengwen seemed to be in a competition, consuming seventy-eight bowls, finally wiping their mouths with satisfaction and smiling.

"Haha, are you full? Let's go get some exercise." Ye Guichen stood up and left the restaurant.

The restaurant owner watched the trio's departure, not knowing what to say.

"Hey, your change!"

Ye Guichen waved his hand: "No need, we enjoyed the meal, we'll come again next time."

"Alright, come again next time!" The restaurant owner's smile was so wide it almost didn't fit his face.

Ye Guichen led the way, with Shuiliao and Ning Chengwen following closely on either side.

Their presence on the street made many people step aside.

Ning Chengwen was more easily understood, being tall but just slightly larger than an average person.

Shuiliao, however, was akin to a walking tank, each step causing the ground to tremble.

Although they didn't understand what Ye Guichen was leading them into, they followed unquestioningly, obediently walking along.

Ye Guichen arrived at the entrance of a narrow alley where Leng Wencheng had previously been lurking and suddenly called out loudly: "Since you're here, show yourself!"

Leng Wencheng had been watching Ye Guichen in secret, stunned by Ye Guichen's discovery.

With a wild laugh, he emerged from the alley: "Ye Guichen, you truly have skills, you already found me!"

His gaze fell on Ye Guichen, mocking: "Qinghe Prefecture has three wonders. The first is my second brother Wujiu's flower boat – he loved sailing on the Qinghe in his flower boat. Sadly, things have changed, and my brother is now underground with King Yan. The second wonder is the Qiao Family's beauties, Da Qiao and Xiaoqiao, rare in this world. My brother had hoped to enjoy their company once they matured, but now this wish will never come true. The third wonder is the bountiful beggars and the deceitful Ren Xiaoyao. I thought my brother could enjoy carefree days forever, but unfortunately, he died young because of you, his body not even found. Truly tragic, so sad!"

Ye Guichen's eyes narrowed, catching the implied message in Leng Wencheng's words, chuckled coldly: "Leng Wujiu deserved his fate. Is your lengthy speech a prelude to seeking vengeance? Fine, if you want revenge, bring it on, stop skulking like a girl."

"Haha, you seem confident in yourself!" Leng Wencheng shook his head: "Since that's the case, let's see what you have to prevent my vengeance!"

As he spoke, two figures emerged from behind Ye Guichen.

Ye Guichen turned to look, seeing the two donned in bright armor, resembling ancient warriors.

"Just these two from the Leng Family's Eight Braves? Enough?" Ye Guichen retorted.

Leng Wencheng squinted: "Seems you've aligned yourself with Wang Tianxing, knowing even the Leng Family's Eight Braves. Don't worry, if this isn't enough, I've got more in store for you."

With that, he snapped his fingers.

Two more figures appeared behind Leng Wencheng.

Also in bright armor.

Also burly.

Also wielding thick iron rods, as thick as an adult's arm.

Identical attire, and even their heights were similar.

Ye Guichen showed an interested expression: "Where are the other four?"

Leng Wencheng shook his head: "I never put all my eggs in one basket, and dealing with you, these four are more than enough."

Taking two steps back, Leng Wencheng gave the order: "Old Three, Old Four, Lao Qi, Lao Ba, kill those two big fools, but leave this guy alive. I want him to kneel before me and repent!"

"Roar!"

The four armored men roared like beasts, swinging their thick iron rods at Shuiliao and Ning Chengwen.

Ye Guichen was eager to test Shuiliao and Ning Chengwen's hard training. With Leng Wencheng delivering the opportunity, it was just as he hoped.

"Shuiliao, Chengwen, don't hold back!" Ye Guichen moved aside, watching with his arms folded.

Shuiliao didn't waste words, grabbing the large bone by his waist and swung it fiercely at one armored man's head.
