Chapter 85: Chapter 85: A Storm is Brewing in Jianghai Chapter 85: Chapter 85: A Storm is Brewing in Jianghai Everyone had a hard time understanding Sister Hong’s choice!

They felt she really didn’t know when she was well off.

“Sister Hong’s probably not going to live long, better keep your distance.”

“I was thinking of making an acquaintance with her before, but now it seems there’s no need for that.”

“I don’t understand what she’s thinking, offending the Ye family when she doesn’t have long to live, and for what? That four-hundred-year-old Polygonum Multiflorum? Is she planning to take it with her in the afterlife?”

“…”

Everyone murmured quietly.

At the same time, they all distanced themselves from Sister Hong, fearing being too close to her would lead to unwanted trouble.

Inside the Supreme Box, even Tu Yanzhi frowned.

“This time, our Black Dragon Society is in trouble!” she murmured, also somewhat puzzled by Sister Hong’s actions.

Lin Dong spoke up from the side, “Is offending the Ye family that terrifying? So much so that even the Black Dragon Society is helpless against it?”

“Of course, the Ye family is too scary! No, I should say the Tiger Ranking’s experts are too scary! Our Black Dragon Society’s chairman, Mr. Zhao Heilong, used to be in trouble because he offended a Tiger Rankings expert at the end of the list. Later, after fighting with him, his legs were disabled. Now he’s been confined to a wheelchair ever since.”

“Since then, our president lost his fighting spirit completely. He hardly manages affairs, and nowadays, the Four Heavenly Kings of our society are in charge!”

“Whenever we go to visit him, he always instructs us to never offend a Tiger Ranking’s expert!”

“Unexpectedly, we’ve offended one this time! And moreover, the one offended is Ye Linglong, who ranks even higher than the person our chairman offended back then!”

Hearing her words, Lin Dong also fell silent.

Tu Yanzhi’s mood at the moment was quite chaotic, and she sighed, “This time the Black Dragon Society will face a huge disaster!”

As she said this, she stood up, expressing her wish to leave.

“Everyone, I must go back now and report this matter to our chairman.”

After speaking, she hurried off.

This wave of events also left the likes of Mayor Fang, President Shen Yun, and others constantly sighing.

“It seems like a change is coming to Jianghai, and the Black Dragon Society might be removed from the city!” Shen Yun said with a sigh.

In the eyes of people from the Tiger and Dragon Rankings, a mere Black Dragon Society really wasn’t much to speak of.

Lin Dong couldn’t help but ask, “What would it take for the Ye family to let the Black Dragon Society off the hook?”

“For Sister Hong to take that 400-year-old Polygonum Multiflorum and make amends to the Second Young Master of the Ye family—she might be able to win his forgiveness!” Shen Yun responded.

“Is that the only way?” Lin Dong asked again.

“There might be another possibility…”

Lin Dong instinctively inquired, “What possibility?”

“That would be for a martial arts expert capable of overpowering Ye Linglong to emerge from the Black Dragon Society, or for the society to find such a person to rely on.”

Shen Yun’s words left Lin Dong silent for a while; naturally, he was unwilling to choose the first option.

The heavenly and earthly treasures he had just obtained, it was impossible for Lin Dong to give them up.

So that left only the latter option.

“I do want to test out the strength of Ye Linglong, the Tiger Ranking’s expert,” Lin Dong resolved.

He was naturally determined to protect Sister Hong, after all, she had bid on the Polygonum Multiflorum on his command and was willing to offend the Ye family for him.

For Lin Dong to sit back and do nothing would truly be inexcusable.

Having made up his mind, Lin Dong even began feeling a sense of anticipation.

He wanted to clash with Ye Linglong!

“Where is Ye Linglong at the moment?” Lin Dong picked up a cup of wine from the table, took a sip, and voiced his question.

Shen Yun replied, “Ye Linglong is at the Provincial Military District with the Phoenix Special Combat Team serving as the chief instructor, but I’ve recently heard that she’s about to be promoted again!”

“So she should be returning to Jianghai soon!”

“With what the Second Young Master said just now about Old Master Ye’s poor health, it’s even more certain.”

Lin Dong nodded upon hearing this.

Mayor Fang, Shen Yun and others were curious.

They couldn’t help but ask, “Divine Doctor Lin, why do you ask this?”

Lin Dong chuckled sheepishly, “Listening to you all talk about Ye Linglong as if she’s a goddess high above in the heavens, it naturally sparked my curiosity.”

He didn’t give them a detailed explanation.

Nor did he reveal his own desire to compete with Ye Linglong.

They didn’t think much of it.

In their eyes, Lin Dong was just a Young Miracle Doctor who was proficient in medical arts.

They had no idea Lin Dong was versed in the martial way!

By then, the auction had come to a complete close.

Lin Dong had obtained what he wanted, and since Tu Yanzhi had already left early, he too excused himself from the event.

After leaving, he did not attend the subsequent evening banquet.

Instead, he sent Sister Hong a message and waited for her at the parking lot.

Upon receiving Lin Dong’s message, Sister Hong also left the auction.

Watching her leave, everyone scattered, as they now viewed Sister Hong as a pariah.

Nobody dared to associate with her, not even the slightest bit.

Sister Hong didn’t mind, she had staked everything hoping that this time she would win.

If she won, from then on, she would look down upon everyone present!

After leaving the auction, she found Lin Dong waiting for her in an isolated corner of the parking lot.

“Divine Doctor Lin, I have accomplished my mission and secured the 400-year-old Polygonum Multiforum!” Sister Hong took the herb out from her bosom and handed it over to Lin Dong.

Lin Dong took it.

However, just then, he sensed someone stealthily watching them from around the corner.

“Who’s there?” Lin Dong’s sharp gaze turned toward that spot.

In an instant, a man with a portly belly and a receding hairline fell flat on the ground, in fear.

It was Wang Meimei’s man, Wang Biao!!
