My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 243: Don’t Know How to Appreciate?

"You brought this on yourself, kid. Don't blame me!" the middle-aged man said, taking a step forward and throwing a punch at Yang Qi.

A Martial Arts Grandmaster? No wonder he's so arrogant. Yang Qi sneered, showing no intention of making a move himself. With the Wolf King by my side, do I even need to act?

The next moment, the middle-aged man was sent flying. With a single punch, the Wolf King had seriously injured him, leaving him on the ground spitting up blood, a miserable sight.

"How dare you strike my bodyguard? You're looking for death! I'll have my grandfather kill you!" As she spoke, Fan Ruobing fired a sleeve arrow from her cuff.

This woman is carrying a hidden weapon. Yang Qi's face darkened. He had been ready to let the matter go, but now she was actually trying to kill him. Even as a Cultivator at the First Layer of the Foundation Establishment Stage, he couldn't have blocked a sleeve arrow at this close range. If he hadn't been prepared, he would have been hit for sure.

He waved his hand, sending a burst of cold air toward the sleeve arrow. It instantly froze and fell to the ground.

Yang Qi strode forward, grabbed Fan Ruobing, and crushed the miniature crossbow she had used. Then, he slapped her hard across the face. "Fan Ruobing, I don't like hitting women, but you've gone too far. Do you really think I wouldn't dare to strike back?"

"Just you wait! I won't let you off the hook!" Fan Ruobing cried as she fled.

Yang Qi couldn't be bothered with her. He simply took the Bian Que fruit and departed. The Foundation Establishment Pill is my most promising path to a breakthrough. The Bian Que fruit is an indispensable key ingredient for refining it. What a lucky find today.

Yang Qi returned home.

「Meanwhile」

Fan Ruobing had also returned home and was tearfully complaining to Fan Shengren.

"You're saying that kid's subordinate defeated your bodyguard in a single move?" Fan Shengren asked, somewhat surprised.

The news of Yang Qi defeating the five Independents had been largely suppressed by the Kang City Commerce Alliance, so Fan Shengren was unaware of it. Now, hearing that the Wolf King had defeated a Martial Arts Grandmaster-level bodyguard, his interest was piqued.

"My dear child, we must do everything we can to recruit a master like that. Here's what you'll do: go find that Yang Qi. Tell him to bring his subordinate and join our Fan Family. I guarantee they'll live a life of luxury. When it comes down to it, the only reason he's helping the Qifei Group is for money, right?" Fan Shengren said.

"But Grandfather, he just slapped me," Fan Ruobing said, still resentful.

"Think about it," Fan Shengren said with a smile. "If he comes to work for us, he'll be our family's servant. Then, wouldn't it be much easier to put him in his place however you want?"

"Alright, I'll give it a try!" Fan Ruobing agreed after considering it.

She quickly found Yang Qi and the Wolf King. The two were eating at a roadside stall near the Yang residence.

Hah, and I thought he was rich. To think he eats at a place like this! Fan Ruobing sneered to herself. She had previously seen Yang Qi treating patients without charging them and had assumed he must be wealthy. Who knew he was so poor he had to eat at roadside stalls?

Yang Qi and the Wolf King were in the middle of their meal when a Maserati Quattroporte pulled up and honked at them.

Fan Ruobing stepped out of the car with her bodyguards. With a mocking smile, she said, "Divine Doctor Yang, with your superb Medical Skills, how have you fallen so low as to be eating at roadside stalls? This just won't do!"

"You sure are nosy!" Yang Qi retorted with a cold laugh, looking up at her. "So what? I happen to like roadside stalls. You got a problem with that?"

"It's not that, I'm just puzzled. Your Medical Skills are so good. If you came to our Shengren Hall, you could easily earn a few million. Isn't that better than eating at street stalls? It's really quite pathetic!" Fan Ruobing jeered.

"Oh? Are you trying to poach me?" Yang Qi laughed.

"That's right. My grandfather said both you and this brother of yours can come work for us. We're offering an annual salary of a million. We guarantee you'll live in the lap of luxury!" Fan Ruobing said proudly. Surely he can't resist such a tempting offer. How many people earn a million a year these days?

"Sorry, I have no interest in being the Fan Family's dog. Get lost. If you don't want to get hit again, you should leave now," Yang Qi said, waving a dismissive hand.

Fan Ruobing was both shocked and furious. "What, you think that's too little? Do you want ten million? I'm telling you, don't be a snake trying to swallow an elephant!"

Thinking he was just holding out for more money, she angrily pulled out a wad of cash and threw it at him. "Tonight's meal is on me!" 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

She turned, got back in her car, and drove away. The wad of cash struck Yang Qi right in the face. His expression instantly darkened, but then he let out a cold sneer.

I had originally planned to deal with the Kang City Commerce Alliance first and then see if I could build a good relationship with the wealthy Fan Family. But they keep pressing me, humiliating me at every turn. In that case, I'll just take care of the Fan Family as well!

「Back at the Fan residence」

Fan Ruobing recounted what had happened to her grandfather, Fan Shengren.

"That guy is insatiable," Fan Ruobing said. "Let's not bother recruiting him. He's just a nobody, nothing special!"

"Very well. Since he doesn't know what's good for him, then don't blame me, Fan Shengren, for being merciless!" Fan Shengren sneered, a murderous glint in his eyes.

Just then, Fan Shengren's grandson, Fan Jian, returned home. He said excitedly, "Grandfather, great news! I just found out that Old Master Chen Guo, the vice president of the Provincial City National Medicine Association, is coming to Kang City in two days! We have to prepare in advance!"

"Master Chen Guo's visits to Kang City are always shrouded in secrecy; by the time we find out, he's already gone. For him to be so open about it this time... this is indeed a golden opportunity. My old ailment has been acting up more frequently lately. I must have Master Chen Guo take a look. Moreover, with his support, our Fan Family would become the undisputed leader of the medical and pharmaceutical industry!"

Fan Shengren was a sharp and farsighted man. He had tried to invite Master Chen Guo multiple times, even offering a sky-high price, but he was rejected every time. Everyone knew that Old Master Chen Guo was a quirky man with unparalleled Medical Skills who feared no one. The more people tried to sway him with money, the more resistant he became. Combined with his esteemed status, practically no one in Jingnan Prefecture dared to cross him. To see him for treatment, one had to go to his hospital and wait in line like everyone else. He treated all his patients equally. The only exception was for people he personally admired, for whom he would make a house call.

"Who on earth has enough clout to invite Master Chen Guo?" Fan Shengren wondered with a frown.

"Throughout all of Jingnan Prefecture, I'm afraid no one could do it besides Prefecture Master Lei," Fan Jian replied.

"Listen, it doesn't matter who invited him. We must get Master Chen Guo to visit our Fan Family. Until the War God King arrives in Kang City, Master Chen Guo is the most important figure around. For all we know, he might be coming to Kang City specifically for the War God King," Fan Shengren analyzed. "This time, no matter what, we must invite Master Chen Guo over. Spare no expense!"

The wealthy Fan Family wasn't the only one to receive this news; the Kang City Commerce Alliance also heard about it. They were all wondering the same thing: why was the normally low-key Master Chen Guo suddenly making such a high-profile visit?
