Chapter 232 Ye Huli's "Following the Heart"
Feeling he had found a powerful backer, Li Yuanren quickly took over the important industries within the Aodu Chamber of Commerce with all his men.
Before news of An Litong's death could be released, the Aodu Building had already been secretly sealed off before the negotiations even began.
Some of An Litong's die-hard supporters naturally did not recognize Li Yuanren's position as chairman, given the sudden emergence of a new chairman.
An Litong has a total of ten squad leaders under his command. Although their positions are below those of the vice president, these ten squad leaders are responsible for guarding nine important trading channels and five rare metal exchanges of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce.
Even though Li Yuanren absorbed the power of Feng Shuzhan and Wu Ye immediately, he still found it difficult to cope with the ten squad leaders.
In Li Yuanren's upgraded office.
"Boss, these ten squad leaders are too difficult to deal with. I can't handle them all by myself!" Li Yuanren complained bitterly to Xiao Ye No. 3, tearfully accusing the ten squad leaders of their behavior.
On the other end of the communication, Xiao Ye No. 3, with his slicked-back hair like Aizen's and even wearing sunglasses, was holding a coconut and enjoying it with a straw.
Meanwhile, the communication device on the small wooden table beside him was vibrating continuously, the high-frequency vibration indicating the intensity of the person on the other end of the communication.
Once the communication soul tool stopped vibrating, Xiao Ye No. 3 picked it up and placed it to his ear.
"I don't believe you can't handle this little thing. Xiao Li, the most important thing in life is to be honest. A small amount from your wallet is enough to sway one or two of them. Once you open a loophole, things will become much simpler, won't they?" Xiao Ye No. 3 said slowly.
Upon hearing this, Li Yuanren's chubby face immediately creased with heartache. If it were before, Li Yuanren would have hung up the call immediately if he were asked to hand over his assets. But now it was different. He had a deadly poison called "Red Crown" in his body!
"That only convinced two people at most. There are still eight people to go. Why don't you come and help out, boss?" Li Yuanren said.
Xiao Ye No. 3 closed his eyes, shook his head and thought for a moment. The deadline given to him by his main body was three days to complete the task, and tomorrow was the final deadline.
Putting down the coconut in his hand, Xiao Ye No. 3 stretched, reached for a black and white robe, and said as he walked, "Xiao Li, how come you can't even handle such an important matter? How can I trust you? Sigh, fine, I'll help you this time."
After hanging up the communication device, Li Yuanren sighed helplessly.
"It's easy for you to say that when you're not the one suffering the consequences! This is all my money!"
Ye Nanxiao himself was sitting on a stage in the Soul Guidance Trial Arena, holding a Soul Guidance Greatsword in his hand.
With his soul-guided greatsword strapped to his super fishing rod, Ye Nanxiao sat on the edge of the arena, holding the fishing rod and waiting with his eyes closed.
The students in the audience already knew Ye Nanxiao, this super eccentric student from Shrek Academy, but due to Ye Nanxiao's powerful strength, no one dared to go up and provoke him. They just sat in the audience and kept "praising" Ye Nanxiao.
There weren't many students competing in the Soul Guidance Trial Arena, and only a handful of the dozens of arenas were in use, including Ye Nanxiao's arena.
The students in the audience all came with the users of the arena, and they left the Soul Guidance Trial Arena after their matches ended.
Soon, only Ye Nanxiao and a referee remained in the vast Soul Guidance Trial Arena, staring at each other blankly.
"Young man, you've been holding that greatsword up here for so long. If you want to improve your physical fitness, most labs have training equipment. You don't need to waste rare metals here," the referee said helplessly.
If Director Lin hadn't specifically instructed me beforehand, I would have wanted to kick him out by now.
Although the usage fee for the arena requires the handing over of rare metals, nothing beats the pleasure of slacking off!
"No, no, soon there will be fish taking the bait, just you wait and see," Ye Nanxiao said confidently.
The referee rolled his eyes. The ground here is made of special metal, so there's no way it could seep water. Without water, where would the fish come from?
"Is there something wrong with the Shrek Academy students' brains?" The referee shook his head slightly, walked back to his post, and continued to glare at Ye Nanxiao.
After a while, a shadow suddenly loomed over his head, and Ye Nanxiao looked up.
"What are you doing here, holding up a soul-guided greatsword like an idiot?" Orange asked helplessly.
"Fishing, can't you tell?" Ye Nanxiao said matter-of-factly.
Orange's lips twitched slightly as her gaze fell on the greatsword Ye Nanxiao had tied to his fishing rod.
"You're fishing here with a level six soul-guided greatsword? I remember Sword Maniac isn't very interested in soul-guided devices," Orange said as she sat down next to Ye Nanxiao.
Upon seeing this Soul Guidance Greatsword, Ju Zi immediately guessed what Ye Nanxiao meant by "fishing".
Using a sword to fish, isn't the fish you're catching the sword fanatic?
"No, no, this Soul Guidance Greatsword in my hand is no ordinary bait; it's a Soul Guidance Greatsword!" Ye Nanxiao said seriously.
Orange rolled its eyes and conjured a purple-skinned orange in its hand.
"Thank you!" Ye Nanxiao immediately took the purple-skinned orange and popped it into his mouth.
Orange placed two silencing beads on the arena and glanced at the referee, whose mind had already wandered and who was now hunched over the referee's platform counting sheep.
"I heard from you before that you've already taken over the Aodu Chamber of Commerce?" Orange asked, crossing her right leg over her left and resting her chin on her hand.
Ye Nanxiao nodded. "An Litong has already ascended to heaven. I was the one who helped the current president rise to power. You can say you've done your job."
"What, you're willing to give me such a big piece of cake?" Orange's lips curled up slightly, and the usually naive girl now had a touch of allure.
"We're partners, how could the trust between us be damaged because of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce?" Ye Nanxiao glanced at Ju Zi, shaking the fishing rod in his hand, while the Soul Guidance Greatsword swayed slowly.
His gaze did not linger on the orange for long.
Upon hearing this, Ju Zi narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, gave Ye Nanxiao a deep look, and said, "Alright, since that's the case, I won't stand on ceremony."
After Ju Zi finished speaking, a young man carrying an iron sword strode into the training ground, followed by a woman in a laboratory lab coat.
Upon seeing Ji Juechen appear, Ju Zi stood up and patted off a speck of dust that had settled on her from sitting down.
"Now that you've caught your big fish, I'll be leaving."
After saying goodbye to Jing Ziyan, Ju Zi left the Soul Guidance Trial Grounds.
"Next time you want to find me, just come directly. Otherwise, standing here with a fishing rod tied to a sword makes people misunderstand your intelligence," Ji Juechen said coldly.
Beside him, Jing Ziyan said with a smile, "Not all people from Shrek Academy are like you, are they? You can't possibly stretch one sentence into ten!"
Feeling the slightly resentful look in Ji Juechen's eyes, Ye Nanxiao put away his fishing rod and greatsword, and gave Ji Juechen a friendly greeting with his right middle finger.
"If it were really that easy to find you, would you need to hold up a greatsword here for so long? Come on, don't you know your own personality, brother?" Ye Nanxiao walked to the center of the arena and turned to look at Ji Juechen.
Ji Juechen leaped onto the arena with his iron sword in his arms, his long hair moving without wind, and his aura suddenly became sharp.
The iron sword in his hand emitted a crisp humming sound, and a faint glow appeared on the blade.
"It seems your sword intent has improved quite a bit?" Ye Nanxiao said with a smile. "What do you think of my previous suggestion?"
Ji Juechen's eyes flickered slightly as he gripped the iron sword in his hand.
"Let's finish the fight first!"
Ji Juechen suddenly took a step forward with his left foot, and his sword intent soared into the sky. Before the iron sword was drawn, the sword intent came out first.
A sharp sword intent descended from the sky, pouring down towards Ye Nanxiao's body.
Nine fluffy tails, covered with a layer of ice crystal armor, stood in front of Ye Nanxiao.
Ye Nanxiao felt a sense of familiarity in Ji Juechen's sword intent. After the last battle, Ji Juechen had gained a lot of inspiration from his sword.
Jing Ziyan didn't go to the audience seats; she just stood there watching the fight between the two.
The sparring session between the two lasted only about fifteen minutes.
Ye Nanxiao, holding the ice sword, deflected the iron sword, jumped back a few steps, and was about to rush forward again when Ji Juechen dispelled his sword intent and hugged the iron sword back to his arms.
"Your heart isn't in this, so there's no point in continuing the fight," Ji Juechen said coldly, his dissatisfaction clearly visible in his eyes.
After dispelling the ice sword, Ye Nanxiao shrugged and did not refute.
Ji Juechen was right; he was thinking of taking the Sword Maniac under his command today.
This future Sword Saint is a powerful force. Since it's all in the future anyway, why not recruit the Sword Maniac to be his assistant now?
Ye Nanxiao was really scheming to shirk his duties.
Just as Ye Nanxiao was about to voice his suggestion, Ji Juechen brushed his hair aside and coolly said, "I accept your suggestion!"
He still had his eye on Ye Nanxiao's sword.
Ye Nanxiao, who was about to start his deception, […].
Swallowing back his prepared words, Ye Nanxiao turned to look at Jing Ziyan, his eyes revealing doubt.
"Don't look at me, Ah Chen's meaning is my meaning." Jing Ziyan walked to Ji Juechen's side with a smile and reached out to help Ji Juechen brush off a bit of dust that had gotten on him during the fight.
How come these two have already walked right into my trap before I've even opened my mouth to try and fool them?
Ye Nanxiao immediately fell into deep thought.
I only mentioned it briefly before, and I haven't even talked about the specific benefits yet. How come these two agreed so readily?
A sword fanatic might be foolish, but Jing Ziyan is definitely not foolish.
Could it be that my charm has increased again? I'm just too handsome!
Wait a minute, I remember Sword Maniac was a normal man.
Ye Nanxiao's thoughts lingered on the fact that he was too handsome.
Fortunately, Ye Nanxiao had already realized his own shamelessness and sincerely accepted these possibilities as facts.
Yes, I'm too charming; I attracted those two guys.
I need to go out tomorrow, so I'd like to ask for leave.
Thank you for your votes, dear readers! Thank you for watching!
