No one spoke.

After a long silence, Murong snorted: "Hurry up and get to training!"

Everyone dispersed.

Each person seemingly found new hope, holding the paper Ye Guichen gave them as if it was a treasure, and went off to train.

After everyone left, Murong bit her lip, slowly opened the paper in her hand, and cursed angrily: "You wait, Ye! I swear to never let up on you!"

On the paper were the words: "Eldest Lady Mu, your brain is full of water, and your chest is too big, filled with water too. Once you drain the water, you will improve even more."

"Bastard, bastard!" Murong stomped her foot in anger.

Oddly, her cheeks were burning.

Seeing everyone else engrossed and excitedly training, the strange thought grew stronger.

"Could my lack of progress in training be because my chest is too big?"

Looking around and seeing no one, Murong quickly ran to the nearby restroom.

They had been training here day and night, and there were restrooms built all around, one for each person.

After running back to her room, she rummaged through her things for a long time and finally found a waist band. She struggled and wrapped it around her chest in front of the mirror.

Seeing her tightly compacted chest, Murong's face reddened again.

"Ugh, what's wrong with me, I must be crazy, actually believing his nonsense!" She murmured but still wrapped the bandage, and after putting on her clothes, she found that her body seemed much lighter.

"No, could it really be this magical?" Murong was overjoyed and quickly ran out to start training.

This time, Murong felt that the results seemed much better than before.

Even some previously awkward moves had become much smoother.

"Is that guy a god?" Murong's mind suddenly conjured up Ye Guichen's roguish image.

...

"Brother Ye, what did you write for those rebels?" On the way back, Duan Nanye asked curiously.

Ye Guichen casually replied: "Nothing much, just places where their cultivation techniques needed improvement."

"What?" Duan Nanye stepped on the brakes abruptly, looking at Ye Guichen in shock, "How did you know their cultivation techniques?"

Ye Guichen smiled: "You can tell just by looking. The way everyone speaks, stands, and even small movements reveal much. Since they are elite fighters, they surely have heritage, they've been confined by their own techniques their whole lives. Changing that isn't easy, but improving their fighting ability isn't hard. Their techniques have flaws, and if these flaws are corrected, their combat abilities will reach new heights."

"Of course, it's just a suggestion, whether they act on it is up to them." Ye Guichen sighed, "Honestly, my words were somewhat harsh, but otherwise, they wouldn't realize the seriousness. Take Murong for example, she talks about the danger of the upcoming competition but doesn't truly take it seriously, treating it as a game. If such a person is put in life-or-death combat, only death awaits."

Duan Nanye felt uneasy and his perception of Ye Guichen completely changed.

"Brother Ye, I find it increasingly hard to figure you out, are you a reincarnated god?"

Ye Guichen gave Duan Nanye a sideways glance: "Brother Duan, if I were a god, would I be so muddled by worldly affairs? If I were a god, I'd already have a harem of beauties on a deserted island, living a blissful life."

"Brother Ye, that bliss makes one fantasize!" Duan Nanye teased, then sighed, "But speaking of which, Eldest Lady Mu defies everyone, even daring to argue with Boss Mo. Today, she didn't say a single strong word. You didn't notice, but when you were leaving, she looked at you with stars in her eyes."

Ye Guichen was speechless: "Brother Duan, with your keen observation, don't tell me you're interested in Murong."

"Not at all, I'm too old for young folks' affairs." Duan Nanye sighed, "But if Murong truly has a soft spot for you, you could save yourself many years of struggle."

Ye Guichen asked curiously: "What's Murong's real identity?"

"Hehe, can't say, can't say." Duan Nanye laughed cunningly, starting the car again, "The upcoming competition is a great opportunity, Brother Ye, seize it well."

"Tch, nonsense!" Ye Guichen rolled his eyes.

In the following days, Ye Guichen spent almost all his time at the martial arts gym.

Meanwhile, he received the custom badge from the Martial Arts Association for being a Minister Elder, and even got a million transferred to his account.

Yun City seemed peaceful, with no one bothering Ye Guichen, the surface looking serene.

However, Ye Guichen knew, both Azure Dragon Commerce and the Martial Arts Association had undercurrents.

Especially within Azure Dragon Commerce, the struggle between Wang Tianxing and Leng Bosun had likely begun, and who would win depended on who was more ruthless.

With nothing to do, before the competition, Ye Guichen returned to Yun City, bringing the black box and jade lotus to Jinling, hiding them in the basement of Yan Family Alley.

After meeting with Chen Ziran, Ye Guichen learned that the Chen Family was thriving and Chen Group's status was steadily rising.

With Chen Family's growing business, Chen Ziran increasingly looked like a boss, eating and sleeping at the company, always busy.

Ye Guichen was not worried about Chen Ziran's safety.

With Ma Xiaoling, a Corpse Chaser by her side, no one could harm Chen Ziran.

To thank Ma Xiaoling, Ye Guichen didn't skimp, casually making two Dragon and Phoenix Revitalizing Pills for her, making Ma Xiaoling very excited.

Originally, Ye Guichen wanted to bring Shui Liao to Jinling, but seeing Shui Liao eating well at the Medicinal Food Restaurant and his hard training making great progress, he decided to leave him there.

One day, when Shui Liao's hard training reaches a new level, he'd definitely be a great help.

Zhao Erdan complained that Shui Liao eats too much, almost as much as their ten men combined.

Ye Guichen didn't mind, running a restaurant, can't they afford food?

As for Iron Hand, Ye Guichen brought him to Jinling, directly handing him to Shang Wen Dong.

With the martial arts gym and medicinal food restaurant opening soon, help was needed, and having Iron Hand assist Shang Wen Dong and Mai Gu would save much trouble.

Importantly, Iron Hand, being an assassin, was familiar with Jinling, making things easier.

After roughly organizing affairs in Jinling and Yun City, Ye Guichen received notice from Duan Nanye; the major martial arts competition was about to start.
