“There are a lot of things you do not understand. Don’t treat your ignorance as others’ stupidity. Do you think this kind of capable person would care about fame?” Meng Zhiyuan said furiously. After that, he looked at Meng Tian and asked, ”Tian’er, do you have his detailed information? Do you know his name and address?”

“I have no idea. I am afraid, even Dean Ji would also have no idea. However, I think I can help you to find out. After all, you and Dean Ji have had some friendly relations. I am just a doctor inside the hospital, so it isn’t appropriate for me to ask about it.”

“En. You are right. I will go and find Old Ji and inquire about him. Perhaps, he might help us. From what you said, that person had a girlfriend? Could it be that the capable person has not married yet?” Talking up to this point, Meng Zhiyuan was quite puzzled. From what he assumed, this capable person should at least be around the same age as the two elders he met today. Why would he still have a girlfriend at his age?

“Actually, this person is very young. He should be around 20 years old,” When Meng Tian heard his uncle’s words, he knew what Meng Zhiyuan was thinking.

“Che!” When Meng Wu heard the person was just around 20 years old, he disdained him. Just as he was about to look down on his brother, Meng Zhiyuan glared at him, which caused Meng Wu to swallow what he wanted to say.

As for the others who were present as well, they were startled by Meng Tian’s words. He was so young yet he already possessed such astonishing abilities? Could he really be an immortal? Their hearts were very curious about this person, but they did not exclude the possibility of it being a scam.

“Dad. I feel that this matter isn’t that simple. Don’t you feel that the incident regarding the Lan Family is a bit too fishy?” At this moment, Meng Wen who had been pondering the whole issue raised his opinion.

“What are you trying to say?” With regards to Meng Wen, Meng Zhiyuan was quite satisfied with him. Among the younger generations, only Meng Wen possessed a bit skill to handle business.

“If they are able to help us seize back the market, after deducting all the miscellaneous stuff, we will still earn much more than what we are earning now. Besides, it will also be able to raise our family’s reputation. Moreover, if they are really immortals, it would give others the impression of us getting a very strong backer. However, from what I can tell, they are not here to cooperate with them, but instead are here to find themselves a spokesperson. If we were to agree to their terms, we would become like the previous Lan Family. However, since the Lan Family chose to fall out with Kunlun, doesn’t it also show that there must be a problem lying somewhere?” Meng Yun slowly voice out his opinions.

“Continue on,” When Meng Zhiyuan heard what his son said, he also realized that there might be a big problem somewhere.

“From a certain point of view, even though the Lan Family might look grand and well-regarded, they were actually being restricted behind the scenes. It’s the same as the terms they gave us. Although we will be able to earn more profits compared to the present, we have no choice except being controlled by them.”

“En. Not bad. From their unyielding attitude they had today, it is without a doubt that once we start to cooperate with them, we are bound to their whims. What should we do now? If we don’t cooperate with them, we might be confronted with a more severe problem,” Meng Zhiyuan had already thought up to this point. However, the biggest problem that remained unsolvable was how to escape unscathed from this.

“Dad. Don’t be anxious. The Lan Family cooperated with Kunlun for so many years. If they wished to separate themselves from Kunlun, it was not something that could be done within a day or two. I long heard that Lan Ya never once liked her fiancé. However, last year, she actually gotten engaged with him. This shows that the engagement must have definitely been forced onto the Lan Family. But now, they actually dared to publicly fall out and separate themselves from Kunlun. From how powerful Kunlun is, they actually did not do anything to the Lan Family. Doesn’t this explain a lot to us?”

Meng Zhiyuan’s eyes shined, ”You mean the Lan Family found a new backer?”

“Most likely. If they really had the ability, they would have fallen out a long time ago. There should be no need to sacrifice his daughter, right?”

“If it’s like that, isn’t this just jumping from one pit to another? They still have to be confined by someone else. What’s the difference?” Meng Zhihai asked as he was confused.

“Third Uncle, since the Lan Family dared to do this, it just shows that the benefits they are getting from the new backer is a lot better and the backer is stronger than Kunlun. Otherwise, why would the Lan Family have the guts to do so?” Meng Wen laughed.

“If you said the new backer is stronger than Kunlun, I can somewhat believe it. But for the benefits to be better than Kunlun, that might not necessarily be so. Since Kunlun was able to threaten the Lan Family, the new backer could also do the same thing. Perhaps, the terms got even worse,” Meng Zhiyuan reasoned.

“En. What Third Brother said is very reasonable. Kunlun is already so unyielding, and since they are more formidable than Kunlun, I feel that it would be better for us not to approach them,” Second Brother, Meng Zhibo, spoke. Meng Zhiyuan started to ponder.

“Dad. Do you remember the man who was at Lan Jinsong’s birthday banquet?” Meng Wen asked his father.

“Are you saying that man who Lan Ya declared was her boyfriend? Don’t tell me he is that…” After his son mentioned it, Meng Zhiyuan suddenly recalled the scene at that time. At that time, Lan Ya’s previous fiancé seemed as if he was quite afraid of that man. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have left without doing anything.

“That’s right. I have met that man before. Before the banquet, Lan Ya brought him to buy some clothes. He was an interesting person. And from the way Lan Ya acts, it seems like she has some feelings for that man. I feel that this time, they weren’t forced. In any case, we have already been forced to such an extent, so why not try approaching the other side as well? Perhaps, the result might be more appealing to us?”

“But if it’s like that, aren’t we still being pressured by the Lan Family? We might as well rely on Kunlun,” Meng Zhihai felt that compared to an unknown power, Kunlun seemed a bit more reliable.

“Third Uncle, this matter isn’t so simple. If there was only Kunlun involved, I believe we will be able to push the Lan Family down and at most, we would just be restricted by them. However, now, there is another formidable influence which is stronger than Kunlun. I don’t believe that Kunlun actually possesses the ability to push the Lan Family down. Otherwise, why would they not strike the Lan Family down directly?” Meng Tian’s statement caused Meng Zhihai to be at a loss for words.

Everyone thought about it. If it was in the past, if Kunlun were to come to them for cooperation, they would definitely agree. But now, the circumstances had changed. How was Kunlun able to justify that they would be able to retrieve 80% of the market for them? When the time came, if Kunlun was not able to do that, wouldn’t they be the ones who suffered?

Don’t even talk about being the biggest medical herb supplier in Yunhai. Perhaps, their business might even get swallowed by others.

“Wen’er, will you be able to locate that man? Besides, we are unable to confirm if he is truly the new backer of the Lan Family,” Meng Zhiyuan reconsidered and felt that his son’s idea was the most feasible.

“We can only go and inquire about it from Lan Ya,” Meng Wen said. What he said just now was all his analysis. What if this wasn’t what he had analyzed? Wouldn’t he become a laughingstock if he were to look for that man?

“Would she be willing to help?” After all, both families had always been competitors in the medical herb industry. Now that they were asking their competitor for help, they might not necessary help them.

“I can go and try.”

Qinglong Villa, Massage Room.

Qing Long was lying down on the bed and enjoying the massage from the seductive masseuse. In front of him, there were two men standing respectfully.

“Did you manage to handle the matter?” Qing Long closed his eyes and asked.

“Hallmaster, Long San was injured and is in the hospital,” Long Er regretfully said.

“That kid actually had some tricks. With the three of you ganging up on him, one was actually injured. I guess that kid was also injured quite badly, right?” Qing Long was quite surprised that Long San was injured, but when he saw the two people in front of him perfectly fine, he thought that Cheng Yu must have definitely suffered.

“Nope. We didn’t make a move on him. That…that person was a top-notch Heaven Rank expert,” When the duo recalled how Long San suffered under Cheng Yu’s punch, they still had lingering fear.

“What?! What did you say?!” When Qing Long heard that their opponent was a top-notch Heaven Rank expert, he was alarmed. He suddenly lifted himself up, causing the masseuse to be startled.

“That person was certainly a late stage Heaven Rank expert. He only exchanged a move with Long San. After that, he let us off,” Long Er spoke.

“Late stage Heaven Rank expert? How is that possible?! Isn’t he younger than 20 years?!” After getting his confirmation, Qing Long was astonished once more. He stood up immediately and wore his underwear. His upper body was very defined, and looked very strong and sturdy.

“It should be. But his strength is definitely at the late stage of Heaven Rank. We saw it very clearly. He was able to manifest internal energy!” Previously, no matter how much they thought, they could not understand how the group of people were deflected back. Now that they thought about it, they realized it must have been due to the internal energy.

“Internal energy manifestation!” Qing Long mumbled. “How did you guys return safe and sound? Why did he not injure you?”

“We don’t know. Anyway, I feel that he did not have any evil intentions. Maybe he did not even bother to place our strength in his eyes at all,” The duo felt that they were quite fortunate. Originally, they thought with their Earth Rank abilities, their strength was already very formidable. But they never expected that when they were in front of others, the others were not even interested in beating them up.

“You guys don’t have to bother yourself with this incident. In the future, don’t go and provoke him ever. If the kid is a Heaven Rank late stage expert, he is not someone we can provoke.”
