CHAPTER 571: CHAPTER 571: MATCHMAKING?

This time, having defeated King Yan so thoroughly, it’s likely he’ll be out for revenge next.

If the real King Yan isn’t eliminated soon, no one knows what chaos will ensue in the underground world.

Although he wasn’t too keen on seeing King Jinling, Ye Guichen was indeed interested in the power behind King Yan.

After some thought, Ye Guichen agreed.

Seeing Ye Guichen’s reluctant expression, Wang Ying pursed his lips, "What’s the big deal."

Clearly, Wang Ying felt Ye Guichen was being a bit pretentious.

Next, Duan Nanye delegated the task to Tang Yun, who set off with Ye Guichen straight to the Wang Family.

King Jinling, being dubbed the king of Jinling, naturally resided in the best location in Jinling.

After changing into cleaner clothes, it was a half-hour drive.

Ye Guichen arrived at a place resembling a paradise on earth.

Bigger than Longwang Villa, it looked like a large manor.

Birdsong and the fragrance of flowers filled the air.

Wang Ying’s car entered the villa district without any obstruction.

After parking in the manor, a distant view showed an old man practicing boxing on a nearby lawn.

"Wait here, I’ll go talk to Grandpa." Wang Ying glanced at Ye Guichen and quickly walked over to the old man.

Duan Nanye had no objections, but Su Jiu’er pursed her lips and muttered, "What’s the big deal? Isn’t it just King Jinling, hmph!"

As Sunan King’s granddaughter, Su Jiu’er naturally felt no stage fright.

Moreover, Su Jiu’er had some other plans in mind for this visit.

Narrowly escaping death, Su Jiu’er had matured greatly.

On one hand, as a member of Dragon Teeth, Su Jiu’er had no right to meet King Jinling.

But on the other hand, she was Su Mu’s granddaughter.

Her status was comparable to Wang Ying’s; even though she wasn’t as highly skilled as Wang Ying, she carried a notable identity, making it acceptable to meet King Jinling.

Moreover, having witnessed Ye Guichen’s abilities, Su Jiu’er understood King Jinling’s intentions.

Whether it’s the Wang Family or the Su Family, Ye Guichen was unquestionably a talent worth recruiting.

Hence, after Shadow Yama’s death, Su Jiu’er never mentioned what happened in the villa, not even to Duan Nanye, hoping to conceal Ye Guichen’s capabilities.

Now that Wang Xiao wanted to meet Ye Guichen, even a fool could see he intended to recruit Ye Guichen.

How could she let that happen?

Additionally, from Duan Nanye, Su Jiu’er knew that Su Family’s top talent, Su Wu, would soon arrive.

At that point, whatever happens, she must ensure Su Wu captures Ye Guichen.

Even if she had to act more intimately, she must thwart Wang Xiao’s plans.

Of course, no one considered Su Jiu’er’s thoughts at the moment.

Wang Ying quickly informed Wang Xiao.

While Wang Xiao, being King Jinling, was surprised by Ye Guichen’s actions, he didn’t show excessive enthusiasm.

When they approached Wang Xiao, Duan Nanye immediately smiled obsequiously, "Uncle Wang."

Wang Xiao, dressed in a white martial arts outfit, had white hair and beard, appearing to be over ninety years old.

Though he seemed healthy, there was a faint sense of old age.

Ye Guichen took one look and could see that Wang Xiao was in his twilight years.

No matter how healthy someone is, there is a limit to longevity.

Wang Xiao seemed nearly a hundred years old; while regularly practicing martial arts, he couldn’t resist the natural cycle.

However, Ye Guichen didn’t speak. Seeing Duan Nanye respectfully address Wang Xiao, he stepped forward, bowed slightly, "Young Ye Guichen, greets King Jinling."

He was extremely polite.

Su Jiu’er snorted, stepping forward casually, "Grandpa Wang, I’m Su Jiu’er, Su Mu’s granddaughter."

"Jiu’er?" Wang Xiao was taken aback, then laughed heartily, appraising Su Jiu’er twice, and exclaimed, "That old fellow Su Mu is so ugly, yet he gave birth to such a beautiful girl as you. I remember seeing you last time still wearing crotch-less pants, you’ve grown so much!"

Su Jiu’er’s face turned bright red, "Grandpa Wang, let me make it clear, Ye Guichen and I have known each other for a long time. I’ve long planned to take him to meet my grandpa, don’t let my grandpa fight with you!"

Saying this, she proactively grabbed Ye Guichen’s hand.

Such intimacy.

Wang Xiao was stunned, then laughed again, "You naughty girl, I’ve heard Su Mu has a mischievous granddaughter, it appears it’s true!"

He could tell Su Jiu’er’s intent was to block his opinion, fearing he would befriend Ye Guichen.

Ye Guichen was exasperated.

What is Su Jiu’er plotting!

However, facing Wang Xiao, Ye Guichen chose not to react much; especially since Su Jiu’er clung to his arm like a koala, pushing her away would lead to awkwardness.

Ye Guichen forced a smile, "May I ask why you’ve summoned me, Sir Wang?"

Wang Xiao then focused on Ye Guichen, not rushing to respond, meticulously observing for a long while, growing increasingly pleased, making Ye Guichen feel uneasy.

Standing by, Wang Ying couldn’t help but remind, "Grandpa, what are you looking at?"

Wang Xiao was taken aback, quickly laughing, "Haha, sorry, I haven’t seen such energetic youth in a long time, it reminded me of old times, couldn’t help but take a few more looks."

He then pulled Wang Ying in front of him, "By the way, Xiao Ye, you must’ve met Xiao Ying, right?"

Ye Guichen nodded with a smile, "Yes, we’ve met."

Wang Ying scowled, "Grandpa, what are you up to?"

"Ahem." Wang Xiao ignored Wang Ying’s shyness, gazing at Ye Guichen with a sly smile, "Xiao Ye, I’m mostly aware of the events at Longwang Villa. I’m truly impressed, a young hero indeed; that battle made this old man feel proud. Anyway, let’s cut to the chase. Xiao Ye, are you married?"

"What?"

Wang Xiao shifted topic so swiftly, Ye Guichen nearly stumbled.

"Of course, he’s married!" Before Ye Guichen could respond, Su Jiu’er interjected, "Grandpa Wang, stop trying to win him over."

Wang Xiao ignored Su Jiu’er, smiling widely, "Being married is fine; for a talent like Xiao Ye, having multiple wives is normal. So, what do you think of our Wang Ying?"

Ye Guichen was completely defeated.

Is this old man calling me here to set me up?

Wang Ying felt embarrassed and angry, "Grandpa, what nonsense! If you keep this up, I’ll ignore you!"

Stamping her foot, she turned to leave.

Wang Xiao laughed even more joyfully, continuing, "Our Xiao Ying is beautiful but too strong-willed, always striving to excel, making many men feel inferior. I’ve always wanted someone to temper her edge, but never found the right person. Xiao Ye, though Xiao Ying is older, I find you quite suitable."

Ye Guichen managed to muster a faint smile.

Not sure how to respond.

Duan Nanye was stunned.

In Jinling, although Wang Ying was considered a mature young woman, her background and appearance were top-notch.

She had numerous suitors.

But Wang Ying had one condition—to pursue her, one must first defeat her.

That criterion alone scared off many young men.

Unexpectedly, King Jinling, Wang Xiao, summoned Ye Guichen today for matchmaking?

My God, if this got out, Ye Guichen would be targeted by envious gazes countless times!
