Chapter 428: Target Wubi on April 29th!

The Goddess Villa was much quieter without the two young women, lacking its usual bustle.

Niu Yinyin had run off to the Shangguan’s residence, while Shangguan Hong had gone to France to further her studies, leaving Shen Mengchen alone in the now serene Goddess Villa.

Upon returning to the villa, Ye Qiu found Shen Mengchen sound asleep. He didn’t disturb her, knowing she hadn’t had such a peaceful sleep for a long time due to her worries about Longjia. It was only after Ye Qiu’s return that she felt safe enough to relax and leave the troubles for Ye Qiu to handle.

Ye Qiu greeted Liu Bo, took a phone call, and then headed to the designated location.

The call was from Li Jinglong, who had reached out to Ye Qiu as soon as he arrived in ZS City, persuading him fervently to meet.

Ye Qiu’s opinion of Li Jinglong hadn’t improved much. The last time in the Myanmar mine area, due to Du Hao, a fierce fight broke out although Li Jinglong didn’t participate, it still left Ye Qiu with a bit of resentment.

Du Hao had already been dealt with by Ye Qiu, and the money and jade still in the Goddess Villa. If it hadn’t been for Li Jinglong’s persistent persuasion, Ye Qiu really wouldn’t have wanted to see him.

Ye Qiu sat silently in a chair, quiet as gold.

Li Jinglong, smiling, knew full well how formidable Ye Qiu was and didn’t dare to offend him. He had been making an effort to be on good terms, especially after the incident in Myanmar, which only solidified his resolve.

That idiot cousin Du Hao, Li Jinglong hadn’t contacted him ever since; he didn’t want to upset Ye Qiu because of Du Hao.

Li Jinglong handed a golden card to Ye Qiu, speaking softly, "Brother Ye, this is for you."

Ye Qiu looked down, his eyes falling on the golden card; it was a bank card with the words "Supreme" on it, clearly no ordinary bank card.

Seeing that Ye Qiu still said nothing and did not accept the bank card he offered, Li Jinglong explained with a smile, "Brother Ye, this was for your help with the stones in the Myanmar mine area, a total of ten billion."

"Alright," Ye Qiu stood up, clutched the golden card with the supreme insignia, and turned to walk away.

Li Jinglong urgently called out, "Brother Ye, don’t rush off, I..."

"What did you want to say?" Ye Qiu said flatly, looking at the flustered Li Jinglong.

"I wanted to say, Brother Ye, don’t worry about the trip to Myanmar, it was my fault. I had no idea Du Hao would dare to confront you," Li Jinglong’s gaze was filled with remorse.

"Haha." Ye Qiu laughed lightly, "Now that you’ve given me the money, we’re even, and neither of us owes the other anything."

"But..." Li Jinglong tried to explain further, but Ye Qiu didn’t give him the chance and had already walked several dozen meters away in a blink.

Li Jinglong stood alone at the table, looking lost and dejected, realizing he probably never would receive Ye Qiu’s forgiveness.

...

Ye Qiu’s heart wasn’t greatly stirred. Perhaps before leaving the mountains, he might have cared somewhat about wealth, but since selling over a billion in jadeite raw stones with Huo Qian, and coming into a substantial fortune, he had lost his pursuit of wealth.

If talking about net worth, he had long been worth over a hundred million, Shen Tianlong had even gifted him a luxury villa worth tens of millions.

To him, money was just a number.

What he now sought was a breakthrough in martial arts, breaking free from the shackles of True Qi and ascending to a higher level—that was what Ye Qiu desired most at the moment.

After casually pocketing the bank card, Ye Qiu mingled into the crowd.

Without realizing it, he found himself standing at the entrance of Zhongshan University, having not visited for a while, Ye Qiu felt somewhat absent-minded.

He wondered how Lan Bing’s martial arts club was doing and whether its membership had increased.

In his mind’s eye, the image of Lan Bing appeared, that martial arts-loving girl dressed in blue, her hair braided, giving off a cool aura.

And Chu Yao from the same class, after the malicious plotting of Wang Zifeng and the video incident, how was she now?

Suddenly, a myriad of images flooded Ye Qiu’s mind, feeling like the events of participating in the martial arts conference and confronting the Kondraki family abroad had spanned years, giving him a surreal sense of times past and present melding together.

Ye Qiu stood at the entrance of Zhongshan University for ten minutes, yet he still didn’t step inside.

He wasn’t actually a student; initially, he had attended school only to accompany the prince in his studies and to protect Shen Mengchen. Now that even Shen Mengchen wasn’t coming to school, there was no need for him to remain on campus. Here, life was comfortable, suited for ordinary people, but he, Ye Qiu, was not an ordinary person. He still had many battles to face.

Watching the students coming and going, and their smiling faces from their school days, Ye Qiu felt a complex mix of emotions.

Just as he was lifting his foot to leave, taking two steps out, three girls came walking towards him from the opposite direction.

"Ye Qiu."

Someone called out his name, and only then did Ye Qiu look up to see a face of ordinary appearance—it was... Zhang Qinqin, Chu Yao’s close friend.

Ye Qiu smiled at her.

Meanwhile, Chu Yao, standing beside Zhang Qinqin, was frozen, her eyes darting around nervously, unsure where to settle.

"Why aren’t you going in? It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you attend class," Zhang Qinqin greeted him.

"No, I have other things to do," Ye Qiu said, his gaze sweeping over Chu Yao briefly.

Chu Yao seemed like a nervous rabbit, her eyes meeting Ye Qiu’s momentarily before quickly darting away.

Ye Qiu waved at the three of them and walked away slowly.

The new girl who had just transferred and was standing beside Chu Yao and Zhang Qinqin was very curious about Ye Qiu, as she had never seen him before and didn’t know that her two friends knew such an unusual young man.

Full of curiosity, she asked, "Qinqin, who was that handsome guy just now? How come I don’t know him?"

Zhang Qinqin glanced at the dazed Chu Yao and replied, "He’s a student in our class, but he stopped attending classes regularly before you transferred here."

"Oh, I wonder if he has a girlfriend. I think he’s really interesting," the girl said frankly.

Zhang Qinqin looked at Chu Yao and explained, "Don’t get ahead of yourself; he’s not an ordinary person."

"Ah, then I definitely need to get to know him. What’s his name?"

"Ye Qiu."

"Ye Qiu? That name sounds familiar. I think I’ve heard it before. Oh, I remember now, isn’t he the one they call ’One Punch Man’? " the girl grew more excited as she spoke, her eyes shining with eagerness.

Seeing Chu Yao’s distress, Zhang Qinqin quickly pulled the girl away, choosing not to continue the topic about Ye Qiu, and the three of them walked into the campus.

Once they were in class, Zhang Qinqin pulled Chu Yao aside because she felt there were some things Chu Yao needed to know.

"Chu Yao, you don’t need to avoid Ye Qiu. The issue with the video back then, it was me who found Ye Qiu and asked for his help, which led to its final resolution," Zhang Qinqin said, prompting Chu Yao to suddenly lift her head, grabbing Zhang Qinqin’s arm, "Are you saying he stepped in to stop the video from spreading?"

Zhang Qinqin solemnly nodded, "Yes, don’t blame me for not telling you initially. You were in a bad state back then, and I was afraid it would affect you negatively, so I chose to tell you now."

Chu Yao released Zhang Qinqin’s arm, murmuring words that Zhang Qinqin couldn’t quite make out.

The re-encounter with Chu Yao stirred emotions in Ye Qiu’s heart.

He remembered the first time he met Chu Yao on the bus right after he came down from the mountains; at that moment, he was captivated by her eyes brimming with spiritual energy.

Chu Yao’s affection, her confession, the invitation to her home for dinner, followed by her mother’s disapproval, Wang Zifeng’s misconduct, and the video incident—all these events made the relationship between Chu Yao and Ye Qiu very delicate, not exactly romantic yet beyond mere classmates or friends.

A pitiable yet helpless girl.

This thought lingered in Ye Qiu’s mind. He sympathized with Chu Yao’s ordeal; she was a brave girl, kind-hearted yet incredibly obedient, involving herself with the wrong people due to her mother’s influence. Though ultimately he had exposed Wang Zifeng’s deceit, the unfolding of events was never truly Chu Yao’s choice. She was just a kind-hearted girl who didn’t want to upset her mother, even if it meant sacrificing her own happiness.

"I hope she eventually finds a good place in life."

Ye Qiu shook his head, deciding not to dwell on these romantic entanglements any longer. In another day, it would be the awards ceremony for the Ten Owls, and he should start preparing to set out, eager to see what made the Martial Wall so extraordinary that it attracted numerous martial artists, even highly regarded figures like Old Color Head and Mei Huiling.

"Martial Wall..." Ye Qiu’s eyes sparkled, perhaps there he would find the opportunity to break through to the legendary realm!
