The Dragon King left Ye Qiu alone.

Ye Qiu knew the Dragon King had something to say to him.

“Little Ye, do you know why I want you to take Old Sun as your apprentice?”

Ye Qiu shook his head.

The Dragon King said, “Old Sun’s medical skills are quite good, and he’s the president of the Jiangzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Association. Even your dean has to show him some respect. Taking him as your apprentice will only benefit you.”

“Moreover, I see that Old Sun is sincere in wanting to become your disciple. Accepting him will bring you many advantages.”

“So, it seems my decision to take Old Sun as my apprentice was correct,” Ye Qiu said with a smile.

“Old Sun has good connections in Jiangzhou. You’ll definitely find his help useful in the future.”

Then, the Dragon King asked, “Little Ye, how did you cure my Yin-Yang Serpent Gu?”

Ye Qiu didn’t hide anything and said, “I’ve learned to open the heavenly eyes.”

What!

The Dragon King was shocked.

Zhao Yun’s face also showed astonishment.

When they first met Ye Qiu, he didn’t know any martial arts. In such a short time, Ye Qiu not only became as skilled as a Dragon List master but also learned to open the heavenly eyes. It was truly…

Terrifying!

The Dragon King advised, “Don’t tell anyone about opening the heavenly eyes.”

“Okay.” Ye Qiu also knew that if this kind of mystical skill were known, it would cause a lot of trouble.

The Dragon King then instructed Zhao Yun, “Bring the thing.”

“Yes.”

Zhao Yun turned and went inside, bringing out a document and handing it to Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu opened the document and saw it was a share transfer agreement. He was puzzled and asked, “What does this mean?”

The Dragon King replied, “This is the share transfer agreement for Happy Plaza. You just need to sign your name, and from now on, Happy Plaza will be yours.”

Happy Plaza was the largest mall in Jiangzhou, worth billions.

Ye Qiu didn’t expect the Dragon King to give him such a valuable mall.

This was too generous!

Ye Qiu quickly said, “Dragon King, thank you for your kindness, but I can’t accept this.”

“You’ve saved my life multiple times; this is just a token of my appreciation. You must accept it.”

“But…”

“Besides, you’re now the boss of Jiangzhou’s underground world. Without money, how can you command your men?” The Dragon King said, “A man needs more than just power; he must also have money. In this day and age, money makes the world go round.”

Ye Qiu was still hesitant. After all, it was a mall!

The Dragon King added, “Little Ye, you need to grow stronger quickly. You have many enemies, not just Feng Youling and the others, but also Xiao Qingdi. In the future, you’ll definitely go to the capital, and who knows what new enemies you’ll face. So, you need to accumulate more resources, or how will you confront them?”

“Dragon King, I understand your reasoning, but even if I accept this mall, I don’t know how to run it. I’m just a doctor,” Ye Qiu said with a bitter smile.

The Dragon King laughed, “Little Ye, you don’t need to know how to run it; someone will help you.”

“Who?”

“Your woman!”

“My woman?” Ye Qiu was stunned, not understanding.

“Lin Jingzhi!” The Dragon King laughed, “Lin Jingzhi is a business genius. With her managing it, the mall’s profits will at least double in two years.”

“Dragon King, you should keep the mall…”

“Little Ye, if you refuse again, I’ll get angry. Just sign it!”

Zhao Yun also persuaded, “Ye Qiu, this is the Dragon King’s heartfelt gesture. Accept it!”

Ye Qiu had no choice but to sign his name on the share transfer agreement.

The Dragon King immediately beamed with joy and said, “Tomorrow, I’ll have Zhao Yun complete the transfer procedures. It’s getting late; you should go rest!”

“Dragon King, I have something I want to ask you,” Ye Qiu suddenly said.

“What is it?”

Ye Qiu shared his thoughts with the Dragon King.

“You don’t want to be in the spotlight and want Han Long to handle things openly while you command from behind the scenes. I think that’s a good idea.”

The Dragon King said, “As the saying goes, ‘The tree that stands out is the one that gets blown down.’ You’re so young and already the boss of Jiangzhou’s underground forces. Many people will be jealous of you, and some might even want to eliminate you.”

“By putting Han Long in the open, he will take all the risks for you.”

“Isn’t that a bit sinister?” Ye Qiu asked.

After all, if he did this, outsiders would think Han Long was the boss of Jiangzhou, putting Han Long in danger.

“You don’t need to worry about that. Great achievements require flexibility. Besides, Han Long is the adopted son of the Ninety-Thousand-Year-Old; most people wouldn’t dare touch him.”

Ye Qiu thought about it and realized it made sense.

“If you have any private matters, you can ask Zhao Yun to handle them. He’s well-known among the brothers in Jiangzhou, and they’ll all give him face,” the Dragon King said.

Ye Qiu nodded.

“There’s one more thing I need to remind you,” the Dragon King’s face suddenly turned serious. “The Jiangzhou branch of the Shaman God Sect has been destroyed, and Chen Dong is dead. I think the Shaman God Sect will soon send people to Jiangzhou to investigate.”

“Even though you’re putting Han Long in the open, you still need to be careful. The people from the Shaman God Sect are lunatics. If they find out about you, they won’t let you go.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll be careful. But you and Brother Zhao should also be cautious.”

Ye Qiu then told the Dragon King about Lin Jingzhi’s assassination attempt.

“Dragon King, who do you think hired the assassin?” Ye Qiu asked.

The Dragon King thought for a moment and said, “It’s hard to say without evidence, but the most likely suspects are Feng Youling and Xiao Qingdi. The killer is probably one of them.”

The Dragon King’s opinion matched Lin Jingzhi’s.

Ye Qiu asked, “Who do you think is more likely, Feng Youling or Xiao Qingdi?”

“Feng Youling.”

“Why him?”

The Dragon King said, “I know Feng Youling. He’s narrow-minded and vindictive. At the banquet, you and Lin Jingzhi embarrassed him. Given his personality, he wouldn’t let you off.”

“Moreover, hiring an assassin is too low-level for someone as arrogant as Xiao Qingdi.”

The Dragon King warned Ye Qiu, “Don’t underestimate Feng Youling. He often hangs out with Zhou Hao and Li Qiancheng. As the saying goes, ‘Three cobblers with their wits combined equal Zhuge Liang.’ Be careful.”

“I will,” Ye Qiu said. “I also want to ask Brother Zhao to help investigate this matter.”

“No problem, I’ll have Zhao Yun look into it,” the Dragon King said. “Little Ye, if we find evidence that Feng Youling hired the assassin, what will you do?”

A cold light flashed in Ye Qiu’s eyes as he uttered one word:

“Kill!”
