Urban Invincible Overlord

For the next few days, all was calm.

Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang went to work on time every day, and they almost always ate breakfast and made dinner together at home.

They became acquainted with each other, even accustomed to one another's presence.

Yang Fei occasionally took the initiative to find some common topics of conversation.

Although Qin Yanyang made an effort to join in, and they always managed to have a conversation, Yang Fei still sensed that there was a deep chasm between them.

The inherent pride in Qin Yanyang made it difficult for her to easily let a man enter her heart.

The business at Li Xuantong Medical Hall was thriving, and if there were no patients looking for Yang Fei when he was on his own, he would assist Li Xuantong in his office, discussing and exchanging medical experiences when there was time. He also took the opportunity to pass on the remaining four techniques of the Revitalizing Thirteen Needle Technique to Li Xuantong, who was extremely grateful.

That afternoon, Zhang Long came to the medical hall with Qi Tai, asking for Yang Fei's help with acupuncture treatment.

"After this treatment, your internal injuries should be almost completely healed," Yang Fei said.

Qi Tai was overjoyed at the news.

He would have never believed that an internal injury could heal so quickly if he hadn't experienced it firsthand.

Since he began receiving treatment from Yang Fei, only eight days had passed. After three acupuncture sessions and the accompanying medicine for healing, his injuries had recovered at an astonishing rate.

Yang Fei's medical skill filled him with admiration.

What's more, a few days ago, with Yang Fei's help, Zhang Long broke through a longstanding bottleneck and entered the Early Stage of Inner Strength, reaching the same realm as his master, Qi Tai.

One could say that Yang Fei's medical skill had time and again refreshed Qi Tai and others' understanding of Chinese medicine.

"To have received Master Yang's help this time is truly a blessing I must have cultivated in past lives. My disciple and I owe you a tremendous debt of gratitude, and we don't know how to thank you enough," Qi Tai said with heartfelt appreciation.

Yang Fei smiled and shook his head, "We are acquaintances now, so let's not say such distant words."

Qi Tai felt even more grateful upon hearing this but brushed it off with a liberated laugh.

As people of the Martial Arts World, where grievances and gratitudes are felt deeply, he would remember this great kindness. Sample from My Virtual Library Empire—read more on M&VLEMPY&R.

Should an opportunity arise, he would repay it, even at the cost of his own life.

After the repeat acupuncture, indeed, Qi Tai found that his internal injury had almost vanished, needing only a few more days of rest to fully recover, which surprised and delighted him.

Yang Fei put away the silver needles and looked at Qi Tai, "What exactly happened with Tian Zhenhai a few days ago?"

Qi Tai sighed and said, "Tian Zhenhai, in fact, is my junior brother."

Yang Fei felt mildly surprised.

Thereupon, Qi Tai began to recount the tale of enmity between Tian Zhenhai and himself.

"Years ago, Tian Zhenhai and I were both disciples of the same martial arts master, who had a daughter. In our sect, Tian Zhenhai, the master's daughter, and I were the closest companions."

"After several years, the master arranged for his daughter to marry me. Tian Zhenhai, however, was not satisfied; he objected in front of our master and even proposed to his daughter himself."

"The master's daughter followed her parents' wishes and also had feelings for me, so she didn't accept Tian Zhenhai's proposal, instead trying to persuade him kindly. At that time, Tian Zhenhai was discontent but did not insist further.

I thought this matter had come to an end, but who knew that this man was a wolf in sheep's clothing, ruthless at heart. On the day of my marriage, he poisoned the drinks, killing no fewer than nine people, including our master."

At this point, Qi Tai's face showed deep sorrow, "Although I survived the ordeal, I woke up to find that my wife's clothes were in disarray. She had been violated. With her uncompromising nature, she might have felt she dishonored me, or thought that we were all dead, and she chose to end her own life."

"From then on, the only thing that kept me going was the desire for revenge. I wanted to kill Tian Zhenhai.

At the time, it was a major incident in the Martial World, and with the help of the Martial Arts Alliance's investigation, I quickly located Tian Zhenhai and confronted him in a fierce fight."

"Actually, Tian Zhenhai's strength was on par with mine, but he was distracted during our fight because he was surrounded by others in the Martial World and couldn't put his all into the battle, which led me to severely injure him. Eventually, he found a chance and leaped into the raging river."

Qi Tai, with a sigh, added, "I had wounded him severely. Even if he hadn't jumped into the river, he likely wouldn't have survived long, especially since he entered the tumultuous waters in desperation. We all thought he was dead, but unexpectedly, ten days ago, he suddenly reappeared, and even came seeking vengeance against me."

Zhang Long added, "Somehow, Tian Zhenhai had acquired a set of poisonous skills. Even though my master's strength was equal to his, once my master was hit by his poisoned fist, the toxin caused a severe injury, and he couldn't fight back. If not for Master Yang's timely aid, the consequences would have been unthinkable."

After understanding the whole story, Yang Fei nodded and said, "In that case, Tian Zhenhai deserved his death."

"Indeed, the man was cruel and heartless, ungrateful, repaying kindness with enmity; truly wicked and sinful," said Zhang Long, clenching his teeth.

Yang Fei asked them, "You don't know where he has been these past few years, and who he learned his poison skill from?"

Qi Tai and Zhang Long shook their heads simultaneously.

Zhang Long said helplessly, "I've been secretly investigating and asking around these days, but I haven't found any clues. Our Dragon and Tiger Hall only has some influence in Binhai; we are too weak in the vast China Martial World, so we know very little."

Yang Fei nodded and did not ask further.

The words Tian Zhenhai said when he died made him take matters a bit more seriously.

With his way of doing things, as long as he knew who the other party's school was, he would go straight to them and solve the problem thoroughly to avoid unnecessary trouble.

But now, he knew nothing about Tian Zhenhai's school, so he couldn't settle things once and for all.

It was just like the last time the Chen Family made a move on him.

The Chen Family was also acting under someone else's orders. He originally thought that by keeping Chen Hongjin alive, he would be able to find out who was behind the scenes. As it turned out, Chen Hongjin was the only one among the three Chen family men who knew nothing. This farcical incident left Yang Fei speechless, but there was nothing he could do about it.

As for Tian Zhenhai's case, Yang Fei thought it was necessary to remind Qi Tai, so he mentioned Tian Zhenhai's last words to him.

After hearing this, Qi Tai showed a grave expression, "Does this mean his purpose in coming to Binhai to kill me was not simply revenge?"

Zhang Long looked apologetic and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Yang, for troubling you because of our issues in Dragon and Tiger Hall."

Qi Tai also came back to his senses and apologized to Yang Fei, "Yes, I didn't expect to involve Mr. Yang. But rest assured, Mr. Yang, Tian Zhenhai came back to find me, and now that he's dead, even if there's a master behind him, they will only come for our Dragon and Tiger Hall. We will absolutely not implicate you in this."

Zhang Long nodded in agreement.

Yang Fei indifferently said, "It's alright. If someone comes looking for trouble and you can't handle it, just let me know. By the way, this is an antidote I formulated for you after you were poisoned last time. Carry it with you, it might come in handy."

Qi Tai was overjoyed and quickly took the bag containing the antidote, cautiously storing it away.

Zhang Long was also filled with gratitude towards Yang Fei.

Both of them secretly decided to shoulder this issue themselves and not trouble Mr. Yang again.

After work, Yang Fei bought groceries and went home.

When he arrived at the gate of the villa, he noticed an extra car in the courtyard.

Looking up, the main door of the villa's living room was open.

Yang Fei walked over, glanced at the garage, and saw that Qin Yanyang's car was not there, which made him frown slightly.

Could it be Qin Yanyang's relatives?

He hesitated about whether to call Qin Yanyang and ask about the situation.

At that moment, a figure appeared at the living room door and said to Yang Fei, "You must be Yang Fei, right?"

Yang Fei looked at the person and nodded his head.

This was a man in his thirties, with sharp eyes and an aura of domineering fierceness about him.

This person is not simple, Yang Fei thought to himself.

From the resemblance he saw between the man's features and Qin Yanyang's, he vaguely guessed the man's identity and said, "Yes, I am. Are you Yanyang's older brother?"

Qin Zhen was slightly taken aback and asked in surprise, "Yanyang mentioned me to you?"

Yang Fei shook his head and said, "You resemble her a bit."

Qin Zhen took another look at Yang Fei. Although he and Yanyang were siblings and there were similar traits in their features, it was difficult to make the connection since they were brother and sister and not closely scrutinized.

This implied that despite the young man's age, he was observant and had meticulous thinking, able to connect the dots to the relationship between himself and Yanyang based on him being here.

"Come in. My mother is here, too. She wants to meet you," Qin Zhen said, stepping aside to invite Yang Fei inside.

Yang Fei inwardly sighed.

I'm afraid the mother-in-law and big brother-in-law have not come with good intentions.
