Chapter 337: Chapter 333: Courting Yunkai (Part 2)

Jiang Yunkai remained silent for a while before he spoke, "I have no benefits here."

"I suppose you wouldn’t care about the money, but what if it could help with your Martial Arts cultivation?"

Jiang Yunkai was startled and then burst out laughing, leaning back and forth as if he had just heard a big joke: "Chen, even if you want to recruit me, there’s no need for such a lame excuse, right?"

"How is it lame?"

"Security? Are we just facing street gangs? A situation where wielding a big machete and swinging it around can strike for miles, does that help with Martial Arts cultivation?"

"You are mistaken," Ling Chen shook his head, sighing in frustration, "Do you know why disciples from prestigious sects need to go through real-world experiences when they reach a certain level of cultivation?"

"To gain experience?"

"Right, if you really can’t understand, think of it as leaving the novice village to fight monsters, gain experience, and level up!"

Jiang Yunkai’s face twitched; this analogy really wasn’t that great.

"The so-called worldly cultivation is exactly that; there are many experts hidden among the common folks, and being among them can bring great benefits!"

Jiang Yunkai fell silent, unable to refute Ling Chen’s words that made some sense, yet subconsciously feeling something was off, but unable to pinpoint what.

"I’m planning to merge five security companies and have you serve as the general manager. Of course, if you are not interested in the regular operations, I’ll assign a deputy to take over. You can focus on cultivating your Martial Arts and occasionally provide guidance to the internal security staff."

At this point, Ling Chen revealed his true purpose. It was rather simple, Jiang Yunkai could challenge the experts on the Tiger List, his presence alone would be a deterrent, swelling the courage of these old brothers both internally and externally.

Internally, it would serve as a wake-up call that the times were still unstable, not yet the time for peace and enjoyment, especially since new talents were continuously emerging; standing still ultimately leads to elimination!

Externally, having an expert comparable to the Tiger List experts would at least double their combat effectiveness, and essentially serves as a declaration to any underground forces, who dares to employ Tiger List experts?

Jiang Yunkai was still hesitant, he had gleaned their identities from their conversation and understood that though Ling Chen wasn’t officially the leader, he was in fact the real leader, somewhat like a regent.

As for being involved in this line of work, Jiang Yunkai wasn’t opposed to it. In fact, for him, there was nothing particularly important as long as it supported his Martial Arts progress, even if it meant involvement in dark activities.

Seeing his hesitation, Ling Chen bit his lip and made a bold promise: "Yunkai, if you trust me, I guarantee you’ll reach the strength to be listed on the Tiger List within six months!"

Others were confused, not knowing what the Tiger List really meant, but Jiang Yunkai’s eyes lit up. He was well aware that although he had been defeated by Ling Chen in one move initially, their level of skills were quite comparable. He knew clearly that if it were not a friendly match but a battle to the death, he wouldn’t last more than ten moves against him!

There’s a big difference between a friendly spar and a fight for life.

And to get listed was even harder; there are millions of Martial Artists in the world, countless of those with similar abilities, often losing by just one move for various reasons - to truly exceed someone wasn’t as simple as subtracting one.

Thinking about all this, Jiang Yunkai hesitated no more and firmly nodded, saying, "Let’s do it!"

At this moment, Ling Chen finally took a deep breath and introduced with a smile again, "Let’s formally meet Jiang Yunkai, the future leader of our security. I know it’s everyone’s first meeting, and some may feel unconvinced, but that’s not unusual. No man would easily bow down to others."

Looking at the group eagerly staring at him, Ling Chen slightly withdrew his smile and said, "However, I, Ling Chen, can pound my chest and tell you brothers, when it comes to pure martial force, all of you combined would not be a match for Yunkai!"

Everyone was momentarily stunned, yet unusually none showed displeasure, for they all understood that Ling Chen did not boast on serious matters.

And so, the matter was settled, marking the first large-scale gathering towards formalizing the group. Everyone was in high spirits.

Nanrong Hao even clamored about arranging a threesome for the newly appointed Kai, but Jiang Yunkai, blushing, repeatedly refused.

This intrigued Ling Yun’s mischievous side. Recently losing his virginity himself, he couldn’t help but gossip and subsequently passed the title of the eternal virgin to Jiang Yunkai.

The whole group roared with laughter, making the drinking even more enjoyable.

As they drank deep into the night, nearly all of them began staggering.

Ling Chen, thinking of Nanrong Wanqing at home, ordered everyone to disperse and dragged the heavily tipsy Nanrong Hao towards Wealthy Manor.

Arriving home, Ling Chen noticed the lights were still on in the house, warming his heart at the thought of having someone waiting for him.

Careful not to make noise and disturb the sisters upstairs, he tiptoed into the bathroom. Fortunately, he didn’t encounter Su Lin like the last time, which left him feeling both disappointed and relieved.

After a cold shower, he realized he had forgotten to bring a change of clothes. Assuming no one would see him in the middle of the night, he simply wrapped a towel around himself and hurried back to his room.

The moment his hand touched the door, Ling Chen’s mind cleared, his eyes flashed sharply, and his muscles tensed instantly!

Someone was in the room!

Who could be in his room at this time? The breathing was gentle, hard to detect, suggesting a skilled opponent, but the faint scent gave away her presence.

It couldn’t be Nanrong Wanqing; given her personality, she would never venture into his room before they were married.

And it certainly couldn’t be Su Lin—the blunt and gutsy girl was actually not very brave. Sneaking into her future brother-in-law’s room at night would be too reckless, not to mention her concern for her sister.

Without a sound, Ling Chen gently turned the door handle, exhaled a breath smelling of alcohol, and pretended to stumble into the room, muttering something. But as he neared the bed, he suddenly transformed into a streak of light, lunging at the shadow in the corner!

With a swift hiss, Ling Chen formed his hand into a blade, aiming directly at the opponent’s throat.

The shadow trembled but without any extra movement, skillfully dodged the lethal strike just with an unintentional quiver.

Ling Chen was greatly shocked. This person was a skilled opponent; his well-practiced move had been quick and unexpected. Even against the full force of the Snake King, it wouldn’t have been easy to dodge. Who was this person?

The shadow trembled again, and with just a slight movement of an arm, Ling Chen felt a chill at his waist—the well-tied towel quietly slid down.
