Chapter 345: 0344 curtain call

Whether they knew Ye Qiu or not, everyone felt grateful upon learning that Ye Qiu had foiled the man’s insane plan.

Elder Jin, Chen Yifeng, and others spoke up about it, which earned Ye Qiu quite a few favorable impressions.

The martial arts tournament concluded today, revealing the new top ten. Although the rankings had not been reassessed yet, these ten individuals were currently the most dazzling.

Many martial artists were left in awe, lamenting that they hadn’t witnessed some of the top ten contenders compete against each other.

Who was the strongest would only be revealed based on who earned the most merit points.

This inevitably led to high anticipation among many, with quite a few sneakily betting on who would secure which position, already sparking small-scale participation.

The martial artists dispersed down the mountain, and in less than half a morning, the summit of Mount Hua regained its tranquility.

People from the northern and southern martial arts circles each returned to their respective places—Ye Qiu greeted a few familiar faces, planning not to follow the Dragon Group back to the base; he wanted to spend some time at the Goddess Villa before heading west.

Lan Bing bid farewell to Ye Qiu, expressing hope that he would visit the club if he had time, mentioning that many members missed him.

Lan Bing’s father, Lan Xiaosheng, however, gave Ye Qiu looks that a father-in-law would give his son-in-law, causing Ye Qiu great embarrassment.

After Lan Bing left, Meng Chong also came over to chat with Ye Qiu and boldly claimed, "Brother Ye, if you secure the top spot among the top ten, I’ll treat you to dinner every day."

With a hearty laugh, Meng Chong left, his bold personality radiating from him.

At the foot of the mountain, Ye Qiu was with the members of the Dragon Group, "Let’s just part ways here."

After splitting from the Dragon Group members, Elder Se Head was actually interested in visiting the base, his presence always bringing a smile to Mei Huiling’s face.

"Brother Ye, I believe in you, you could definitely fight for the top three spots!" Li Xiaohu said with a grin.

"Yes, that’s right, Brother Ye, we all have faith in you," Mu Zhige deeply agreed.

Lin Wurou, however, turned her head away, clearly reluctant to praise Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu waved at them and then walked over to Shangguan Mingyue and Shangguan Dao.

Getting into the car, he then disappeared at the foot of Mount Hua.

...

Japan.

It was the season of blooming cherry blossoms, and as far as the eye could see, cherry trees were filled with blossoms, the air fragrant with their scent.

Beneath the cherry blossoms, a man with white hair and eyebrows, whose age was hard to discern, opened his eyes from his meditation and slowly began practicing his punches.

Studying Chinese martial arts had brought him many insights, even the variations in his own techniques had become unpredictably multifaceted.

As the man moved, it seemed as though the cherry blossoms had eyes, swirling around him without touching him, making it seem as though he was wandering through a sea of flowers, with a mass of cherry blossom petals gathering and circling around him.

This scene stunned Fujikawa Ueno.

After a while, the man stopped all his movements.

"Have you improved your strength?" Fujikawa Ueno congratulated him while posing a question.

The man shook his head: "Difficult!"

"At my age, I lack the momentum of the young. I don’t have their advantages and probably can’t reach that level," the man said.

"The eminent Mr. Gu Shanbai, if you admit you are old, then we are old too," Fujikawa Ueno complimented.

"Hehe, speak up, no one comes to the Temple of the Three Treasures without a cause. Something must have happened!" Gu Shanbai said as he poured himself a cup of tea on a wooden chair.

After taking a light sip of tea, Fujikawa Ueno said, "I still couldn’t escape your mind, the plan failed!"

"Failed? Where is the person?" Gu Shanbai’s expression remained unchanged, difficult to read.

"According to the messages sent back, the executor was captured by martial artists and died by suicide. As for the others, they were all taken by the people in the martial arts community."

Gu Shanbai’s expression showed a hint of change, "So, this plan is completely failed, not one escaped."

Fujikawa Ueno nodded, "Indeed, that is the case."

"It seems someone has seen through this plan, otherwise it wouldn’t have been exposed. Where did the problem arise?" Gu Shanbai said.

"It was a person named Ye Qiu who revealed our plan, which led the martial arts experts to disrupt the operation in one fell swoop."

"Ye Qiu? That Ye Qiu again?" Gu Shanbai found the name Ye Qiu somewhat familiar.

Fujikawa Ueno’s face turned ashen. He had been defeated by Ye Qiu once before and was no stranger to him, otherwise, he wouldn’t have had to flee back to the island nation disgracefully. Fujikawa Ueno said, "This Ye Qiu has repeatedly foiled our plans, he must be eliminated."

Gu Shanbai did not object, "From what you are saying, this Ye Qiu’s strength is not weak, I have become curious about him."

"Mr. Gu Shan, do not take him lightly, I was careless at the time, and that’s why I ended up like this today," Fujikawa Ueno spoke with a feeling of not wanting to recall the past.

"The plan failed, it’s a pity, a great opportunity has been lost. If we want to meddle in the martial arts conference in the future, it will be exceedingly difficult." Gu Shanbai sighed. If the plan to destroy Mount Hua had succeeded, it would have heralded a golden era for the martial artists from the island nation, carving up the vast cake of the Chinese martial arts world.

"This time, the martial arts conference has selected a new list of the top ten fierce warriors, but they need to complete a mission related to that power."

"The ten fierce warriors need to kill someone from that power to determine their ranking."

Fujikawa Ueno said all this in one breath, which made Gu Shanbai feel as if riding a roller coaster.

"It seems that the people in the martial arts community want revenge or to eliminate future threats," Gu Shanbai analyzed.

"It’s a bold move, should we warn them?" Fujikawa Ueno earnestly asked.

Gu Shanbai nodded and said, "Since they are about to fight among themselves, why should we intervene?"

"You are right," Fujikawa Ueno suddenly chuckled, "We can watch the fight between tigers from the hill and reap the fisherman’s benefit."

"Let them fight it out, don’t send any messages over. I do want to see who is stronger, the martial arts community or them."

...

Ye Qiu had no idea that not far from China, in another country, people were discussing him.

Sitting in Shangguan Mingyue’s car, it took more than three hours to return to the Goddess Villa.

It felt like it had been days since he had been back, the inside was still neatly kept, and Niu Yinyin, that little cutie, was quiet today too.

Shangguan Mingyue did not come in, saying that before Ye Qiu went west, to let her know, she would come to the Goddess Villa.

"I wonder how that girl’s company is doing?" Without Shen Mengchen, the lively treasure, life felt dull and boring.

Ye Qiu stared at the room where Shen Mengchen used to sleep every day. He didn’t knock on the door. Eventually, he turned around and went back to his room.

Ye Qiu frowned, wondering why his realization had suddenly sparked.
