You Have Science, I Have Martial Arts-Chapter 504 - 239: Shameless (Part 2)

Young man, it’s quite normal for Mu Shao’ai to be captivated, after all, who wouldn’t be moved by the unparalleled beauty of someone like Yingyue?

But who would have guessed that this stunning beauty is actually a Martial Saint strong person!

Zheng Zhiguang was secretly grateful that he hadn’t done anything inappropriate towards Yingyue before, otherwise, he wouldn’t even know how he died.

Just as Ye Qingzhou was about to enter the Jiuyi Mountain Secret Realm to begin his closed-door cultivation, someone came to inform him: "Master Ye, Chairman Zhao is here."

"Zhao Zhiyi?"

Ye Qingzhou initially thought the other party was here to demand accountability, after all, the death of a Martial Arts Grandmaster was a major event that shook the entire province. Zhao Zhiyi, managing the Xiang Province Martial Arts Association, would certainly need to address this personally.

Others showed fearful expressions, yet Yingyue smiled and asked Ye Qingzhou: "My lord, should this servant take action to resolve this person?"

As soon as she said this, people like Zheng Zhiguang around them were drenched in cold sweat.

If Yingyue really did strike against Zhao Zhiyi, it would be a completely different matter, tantamount to a provocation against the Dongji Kingdom, and even a declaration of war.

Ye Qingzhou wasn’t insane, so he waved his hand: "Let’s not resort to violence all the time, we’re civilized people."

"My lord is right."

Yingyue did not insist, but instead responded cheerfully, clinging to Ye Qingzhou’s arm like a demure bird.

The people around breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and couldn’t help but speculate in their hearts what Ye Qingzhou’s true identity was, to have a Martial Saint protecting his Dao.

Furthermore, Yingyue’s behavior did not seem like she was Ye Qingzhou’s elder, but rather more like a maidservant.

Having a Martial Saint as a maidservant?

What kind of family is this!

Soon after, amid the anticipation of many, Zhao Zhiyi and Wang Anyuan, along with several experts from the Star City Martial Arts Association, appeared in front of Ye Qingzhou with much fanfare.

The first words Zhao Zhiyi said left Ye Qingzhou a bit stupefied: "Ye Qianlong, I am late, you must have suffered."

"???"

Ye Qingzhou couldn’t help but wonder if Zhao Zhiyi had taken the wrong medicine.

He was perfectly fine, where was the suffering?

"Chairman Zhao, aren’t you here to investigate Zhao Baoming’s death?"

"I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter!"

Zhao Zhiyi spoke with a generous and passionate tone: "Zhao Baoming, as a Grandmaster, did not think of serving the country, but instead trampled the law and attacked the pillars of our Dongji Kingdom. Rest assured, Ye Qianlong, no matter who is involved in this, I will pursue it to the end, and won’t let you suffer the slightest grievance."

"..."

Ye Qingzhou didn’t know how to respond to that.

If someone is shameless, what can you do about it? 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Subsequently, Zhao Zhiyi personally presented two exquisitely crafted brocade boxes.

"Chairman Zhao, what are you doing?"

"Just a token, not worth much."

Once the two brocade boxes were opened, the rare treasures inside were revealed to everyone, unexpectedly they were two valuable upper-grade exotic treasures.

In one of the brocade boxes, it held the Congo Jade Marrow, a treasure from the Kunlun Grotto Heaven, which is actually the resin of the Coiling Dragon Immortal Tree, consuming it can enhance one’s aptitude and skeletal structure.

Initially, this item was supposed to be allocated to Ye Qingzhou, but Zhao Zhiyi took it upon himself to use it to win over Qin Haoyu.

Now, Zhao Zhiyi obviously wanted to make up for this mistake, hoping to reconcile with Ye Qingzhou.

The other exotic treasure was equally extraordinary, while not as precious as the Congo Jade Marrow, it was still an extremely rare treasure among upper-grade treasures.

Inside the brocade box lay a purple lotus, its leaves shining with golden light, emitting a unique vitality aura.

"It’s the holy healing herb Golden Leaf Purple Lotus!"

Yun Yan couldn’t help but cry out.

The Golden Leaf Purple Lotus, such a rare herb, often grows only where earth veins converge, having the divine effect of harmonizing heaven and earth and balancing Yin and Yang. It can easily repair a damaged Sea of Qi, rejuvenating one’s vitality.

Back then, if Ye Xiangyang had obtained a Golden Leaf Purple Lotus, he might have been able to heal his injuries, perhaps even turning misfortune into a blessing, reaching a higher level of cultivation.

Unfortunately, what Ye Xiangyang couldn’t obtain in the past is now being offered to Ye Qingzhou without him even asking.

It is clear that Zhao Zhiyi is ’retreating in the face of difficulty,’ not wanting further conflict with Ye Qingzhou: "Ye Qianlong, this is due to my poor leadership, please grant me the opportunity to make amends."

The higher the position, the more Zhao Zhiyi understands what a Martial Saint signifies.

The earlier conflicts were merely interest disputes, not reaching the level of bloody conflict. Accepting the ’gesture of goodwill’ indicates Ye Qingzhou’s willingness to reconcile with Zhao Zhiyi.

Zhao Zhiyi felt relieved seeing this, as he feared offending a Martial Saint, especially when it had no benefit for him and was unnecessary.

Before leaving, Zhao Zhiyi also told Ye Qingzhou: "Ye Qianlong, after breaking through, Zhao Baoming seemed to have contact with members of the Junshan Association, but there is currently no evidence of their involvement in the assassination attempt on you. Rest assured, Ye Qianlong, I will ensure you receive a satisfactory explanation, no matter what."

"Then I’ll be depending on you, Chairman Zhao."

Ye Qingzhou understood Zhao Zhiyi’s implication, intending to use this matter to address the conservative factions within the Junshan Association’s Martial Arts Families.

As for whether it will be a cleansing or just a stern warning, Ye Qingzhou was uncertain.

"My lord, are you just going to let him go like that?"

"What good does it do me to kill him?"

Yingyue pondered for a moment and found there wasn’t any benefit indeed.

Ye Qingzhou then told Yingyue: "During this closed-door retreat, you will protect me, and no one can disturb me before I come out."
