CHAPTER 575: CHAPTER 575 WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

In this journey, An Cangsheng naturally had his own plans.

An Shengtian has been missing lately, and An Cangsheng has sent people to inquire about the situation. He roughly knows what happened at Sakura Falling; his son An Shengtian is likely in grave danger.

While feeling grief in his heart, An Cangsheng could only focus his attention elsewhere.

Since An Kunlun is interested in Wang Ying, An Cangsheng intends to facilitate this.

If this relationship could be made, then the An family would be associated with King Jinling. An Cangsheng would also have the capability to contend for the president’s position, making his leadership not entirely impossible.

Though ambition exists, it should not be too overt.

Taking advantage of the Longwang Villa incident, An Cangsheng wanted to mention the matter between An Kunlun and Wang Ying, but did not expect Duan Nanye to be present and to directly involve Dragon Teeth.

Considering the poor reputation of Yama Hall, admitting any connection with Azure Dragon Commerce could bring criticism to the commerce.

This would lead to endless troubles.

If further entangled with the sect behind Dragon Teeth, it would not be beneficial for Azure Dragon Commerce.

Based on this consideration, Azure Dragon Commerce secretly allowed King Yan to clash with Dragon Teeth.

It’s a case of sitting atop the mountain watching tigers fight.

No meaningful discussions were held.

An Cangsheng exchanged a few more pleasantries, but to no avail.

In the car home, An Kunlun grumbled, "Father, what’s so impressive about that Duan fellow? Hmph, just a Dragon Teeth, are we afraid of him?"

An Cangsheng rubbed his temples, "If it were that simple, it would be nice."

"And my matter with Wang Ying, when will you mention it to that old man Wang Xiao?" An Kunlun asked eagerly.

An Cangsheng sighed, "Wait for the right moment! Given the situation now, even if mentioned, the chances of success are slim. Hmph, while the president and King Jinling seem inactive, anyone can see, who loses patience first will lose. Now, it seems Wang Ying might be entangled and falling behind!"

An Kunlun scratched his head, puzzled, "So what? Don’t you not wish for the Wang Family to fall behind?"

"You understand nothing!" An Cangsheng felt helpless towards his son.

Despite his strong combat power, his brain wasn’t sharp, not even half of An Shengtian’s.

But there’s no choice.

An Cangsheng sighed, "As the saying goes, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the approaching oriole. Whether King Jinling or the president falters first is not necessarily bad for our An Family!"

Then he patted An Kunlun on the shoulder, "Rest assured, since you fancy Wang Ying, I will help you marry her. Just the timing isn’t ripe now."

An Kunlun grinned, "Father, you treat me the best!"

...

Meanwhile.

Having seen off An Cangsheng, Wang Xiao furrowed his brow, lost in thought.

Ye Guichen now roughly understood the situation in Jinling.

Wang Xiao and Azure Dragon Commerce maintained a delicate balance, but once broken, Jinling could face catastrophe.

Though chaotic underground, it appeared peaceful on the surface.

Previously, Ye Guichen wondered why Wang Xiao held back his forces, but now he understood his predicament.

"Cough, cough!"

Amidst the silence, Wu Xiao suddenly coughed violently.

Wang Ying, full of concern, quickly held Wang Xiao, "Grandfather, you’ve been sitting outside too long, come inside."

Wang Xiao coughed into a handkerchief, then raised it to reveal a stain of fresh blood.

Wang Ying was immediately frightened, "Grandfather, what’s happening to you?"

"It’s nothing, just aging, my body parts aren’t cooperating well." Wang Xiao managed a faint smile, addressing Ye Guichen and Duan Nanye, "Mr. Ye, it’s fate meeting you today. If you’re in Jinling, feel free to visit often. I’m not feeling well, so I won’t keep you."

Duan Nanye quickly stood up, "Uncle Wang, are you okay?"

Wang Xiao waved his hand, "Little Duan, though you stood up earlier, embarrassing An Cangsheng, he’s old and cunning, likely won’t let it go. Be cautious when you return."

"I understand." Duan Nanye nodded, again concerned, "Are you really alright?"

"I’m fine." Wang Xiao shook his head, smiling apologetically at Ye Guichen, "I won’t escort you, then."

Ye Guichen did not respond, instead walked up to Wang Xiao, "Heed my advice: there’s no need to force that cultivation technique!"

Originally turning away, Wang Xiao abruptly stopped, looking incredulously at Ye Guichen, "What? I don’t understand your meaning."

Su Jiu’er and Duan Nanye also queried curiously, "What do you mean?"

Seeing Wang Xiao unwilling to admit, Ye Guichen smiled and shook his head, "Nothing special, just a casual remark. But haste makes waste, Wang knows this best. Thank you for your hospitality today and informing me. Since Azure Dragon Commerce is watching, I’ll handle the underground fight myself, without bothering you."

Wang Xiao’s eyes flickered, staring into Ye Guichen’s, sensing something odd.

Though nearly a hundred, Wang Xiao unexpectedly found he couldn’t see through this young man.

Conversely, he felt seen through.

This discomforted Wang Xiao.

But outwardly, he remained calm, "Alright, Mr. Ye, take care of yourself. I wish you success."

Leaving the Wang Family, Duan Nanye remained suspicious.

He seized an opportunity, quietly pulling Ye Guichen aside, "Brother Ye, did your words to Uncle Wang have an underlying meaning?"

Ye Guichen looked at Duan Nanye with interest.

This Dragon Teeth boss noticeably observed keenly.

No wonder he could lead Dragon Teeth.

Ye Guichen’s casual remark was caught by Duan Nanye, unlike Su Jiu’er who paid no mind.

Given Wang Xiao’s reluctance to admit, Ye Guichen had no reason to interfere, shaking his head with a smile, "Brother Duan, I merely noted Wang’s health and reminded him, no special meaning."

"Really?"

"Why lie to you?" Ye Guichen changed the subject, "Brother Duan, the underground fight sounds troublesome, as Dragon Teeth’s top figure, it’s better I handle it alone. If recognized, they might rip you apart."

"Hey, you’re underestimating me?" Duan Nanye retorted, "Dragon Teeth aims to bring Yama Hall to justice. Given the opportunity, if I shy away, won’t I be a coward? There’s no discussion, I’ll go with you. Plus, Tang Yun messaged me, saying Longwang Villa matter is settled, I need to report it immediately."

"Alright, you handle that first." Ye Guichen approached Su Jiu’er.

Alone now, Su Jiu’er felt her heart race, cheeks flushing.

Earlier acting intimate with Ye Guichen was meant to signal Wang Xiao away.

But alone now, she felt deeply ashamed.

"I didn’t mean it," she stammered, losing her usual assertiveness.

Ye Guichen teasingly asked, "What did you mean?"
