Chapter 871: 0871 New Popular Characters! (First Update)

This challenge was meant to be taken on by Ye Qiu, but in the end, it was Bai Xiong who replaced him and faced defeat.

Although Wei Ziqing didn’t say much on the battlefield, after this challenge and seeing his frequent visits to the military courtyard and meetings with many retired politicians, it’s clear he has caught the attention of some influential figures.

The Liu family also began to maneuver, with Wei Ziqing taking over the Dragon Group.

Mei Huiling tried to stop it, unfortunately, the upper echelons seemed to favor Wei Ziqing and decided to let him assist her, leading the Dragon Group together.

This attitude says it all; they are clearly grooming Wei Ziqing. Once Mei Huiling steps aside from the Dragon Group, Wei Ziqing will undoubtedly move from deputy to a fully deserved leader and at that time, Ye Qiu will be phased out.

The members of Dragon Group internally disagreed with Wei Ziqing, but they had to face the fact that Wei Ziqing was above everyone else and were forced to follow his commands.

There were not a few who hoped for Ye Qiu’s early return, but as the days passed, Ye Qiu did not appear, and even the members of Dragon Group began to adapt to the current Wei Ziqing, with only a few believing that Ye Qiu would return and defeat Wei Ziqing.

Bai Xiong’s injuries healed after half a month, and after meeting with Elder Master and Mei Huiling, he returned to Zhongshan City. He hasn’t forgotten Ye Qiu’s instructions to protect Shen Mengchen well.

Ma Lingling and Mu Wanqing often visited the Fengshan Villa, but each time, they did not see Ye Qiu return.

In Capital City, with the addition of the talented young Wei Ziqing, Ye Qiu seemed overshadowed. Currently, Wei Ziqing visited various families frequently, was broadly welcomed, unlike Ye Qiu who was reclusive, he blended well with various families, and for a time seemed poised to surpass the Four Young Masters of Capital City in influence and prestige.

Even Elder Master Ye invited Wei Ziqing several times, and the two talked a lot.

After Wei Ziqing left, Ye Sa expressed his confusion, as Wei Ziqing clearly targeted Ye Qiu, yet their Ye family, having a good relationship with Ye Qiu, still chose to connect with Wei Ziqing.

Elder Ye said: "Ye Sa, people need to learn to adapt. I have observed Wei Ziqing multiple times; he is a very cunning person. Apart from his own notable strength, his way of handling worldly affairs is much better than Ye Qiu’s, and it wouldn’t be excessive to say he is on par with the Four Young Masters of Capital City."

"As for General Ye, although he is a War God, he is too proud and aloof. Such a person is difficult to control, not as manageable as someone like Wei Ziqing who essence is that of a cunning man. If he wants to replace Ye Qiu, he will inevitably need to rely on support from various families, and thus he will serve our Ye family’s interests."

"But, he has close ties with the Liu family, it’s hard to guarantee that no problems will arise," Ye Sa said.

"Hehe, the Liu family. Young Wei Ziqing, he will never truly be loyal to anyone in his heart. Whoever can offer him the greatest help, he will grow close to them. The Liu family is just a stepping stone for him, destined to be discarded sooner or later."

"But our Ye family is different. Like Ye Qiu, he wants to attain the rank of General, and without my vote, it would be very difficult for him to succeed. Thus, the advantage lies with us," Elder Ye slowly stated.

"But if Ye Qiu comes back and finds that we are close to Wei Ziqing, won’t it create a rift?"

"Speaking of rifts, it has already arisen when we went to plead on behalf of Elder Huang’s family. Given his personality, even if we wanted to bridge the rift, it would be difficult to restore it to its original state. He will surely harbor reservations about our Ye family," said Elder Ye, causing Ye Sa to pause in reflection, as his grandfather wouldn’t make baseless statements; there must be a reason for saying this.

"General Ye is a person of restrained desires and pursues martial arts. But in today’s world, just having such a mindset is not enough. Human nature is unpredictable, and being too straightforward will only lead to being exploited by others. I had high hopes for him initially because our Ye family—"

At this moment, Ye Sa deeply admired his grandfather’s tactics, which seemed far superior, but he still felt it was somewhat unfair to Ye Qiu. Although Ye Qiu was reticent, he was very principled in his personal and professional life. As for Wei Ziqing, he seemed more like a smiling tiger, which made him uncomfortable.

"Grandfather is considerate, maybe I’m overthinking it. I just hope Brother Ye won’t blame the Ye family," Ye Sa murmured to himself.

Ever since Wei Ziqing challenged Ye Qiu and won without fighting twice, Capital City was now hotly promoting this new elite of Capital City, and even the Xu and Wang families were frequently trying to curry favor.

Song Jie, Jiang Hao, and Luo Ming were somewhat displeased to see Wei Ziqing being surrounded by people like a star amongst the moon.

Ye Qiu’s absence this time caused the families to change their usual demeanor; instead of greeting them warmly, they were indifferent and dismissive toward Song Jie’s group, with some even ignoring them outright.

"It’s really like the grass that sways with the wind, the true colors of these Capital City families are disgusting," remarked Jiang Hao.

"Jiang Hao, don’t forget that our families are also part of Capital City," Luo Ming reminded him.

Jiang Hao corrected himself, "Excluding our three families, I’m talking about the current ones. Just a few days ago, they were still warm to us, going out of their way to help us meet with Mr. Ye, but now they just pass by us as if they don’t see us, heading straight for Wei Ziqing. It’s infuriating."

Luo Ming remained silent, but that was indeed the situation. In the past, standing here would have brought many families crowding around them, but now it seemed like their shop had gone cold; no one approached them, with some showing true colors.

"Mr. Ye will eventually come back. Let’s hold on for a while longer, let this Wei Ziqing enjoy his moment. When Mr. Ye returns, everything will be shattered," Song Jie said, boosting their spirits.

"Exactly, let this villain enjoy his triumph for now," Jiang Hao scoffed.

As the three were discussing, Wei Ziqing, who had already passed by them, suddenly turned around and looked back.

To hear them call him a villain secretly rejoicing, these three guys have some nerve!

"Mr. Wei, what’s going on?" Liu Wen asked Wei Ziqing.

"Who are those three?" Wei Ziqing pointed at Song Jie and his group, and Liu Wen’s face couldn’t help but break into a smile, "They have thrown in their lot with Ye Qiu, used to be quite popular, now turned so cold, probably they are envious and jealous."

"Yet another people related to Ye Qiu. Come on, let’s go over," Wei Ziqing said, a glint in his eye showing his determination.
