My husband Can Cultivate

This time, Yang Qi did not refuse the meeting.

"Heh, the great and famous Wu Family of Sea City. What brings you to me now?" Yang Qi asked with a cold laugh.

Wu Heng stated coldly, "On behalf of the Family Head, I declare that from this day forward, you have no relationship whatsoever with the Wu Family of Sea City. As for you crippling Wu Xing and shattering the Blood Whip, we can’t just let that slide. You can hide in Thunder City for the rest of your life, but if you ever dare to set foot in Sea City, I guarantee you won’t be leaving alive.

"I hope you don’t go around swindling people using the Wu Family’s name. If we find out, we will ensure you die without a burial site.

"Frankly, if we didn’t need you as a sacrifice, a piece of trash like you would never be worthy of any association with the Wu Family. That bitch Wu Rouman is already dead, so you have even less of a connection to us.

"Oh, and I have some bad news for you. The owner of the Star Shining Society went to the Black Evil Sect because my father personally requested his help. I bet you didn’t know that, did you? My Wu Family has someone working under the War God King. He’s the Deputy Commander of the War God Guard.

"The War God King and the owner of the Star Shining Society are friends. That’s why the owner agreed to help our Wu Family. Do you understand now? A despicable creature like you will never be qualified to enter the Wu Family or associate with us. You are not worthy!"

"Are you done?" Yang Qi glanced at Wu Heng indifferently and said, "I have a message for you as well. From this day forward, Wu Rouyun will live with me. If any of you dare to harass her again, I will cut you down without mercy."

"Hahahaha!" Wu Heng burst out laughing. "Since you like that bitch, you can keep her. And that old cripple, too. Take them both. As soon as I get back, I’ll have them both struck from the Wu Family’s genealogy!"

Amidst his booming laughter, Wu Heng left.

Yang Qi sneered with disdain.

Cripple?

He turned and walked into the White Mountain Estate, where Wu Liang was practicing his martial arts. The moment he returned, Yang Qi had treated Wu Liang’s legs, and by now, he had fully recovered. Not only that, but Yang Qi had even restored his damaged Dantian, allowing all of his lost martial prowess to return completely.

Wu Liang had always been a martial arts prodigy, his Realm even higher than Gu Zhiyuan’s and comparable to Master One-Sun’s. However, their focuses were different. Master One-Sun was considered a practitioner of Magic, skilled in controlling animals, whereas Wu Liang was a true grandmaster of fist techniques.

"Elder, how do you feel?" Yang Qi asked with a smile.

"I feel fantastic, Mr. Yang! This is a kindness that I, Wu Liang, will never forget for as long as I live. Although I am an old man, if there is ever anything you need, just say the word. I will do everything in my power to help," Wu Liang said excitedly.

"You’re too kind, Elder. Wu Rouman was my adoptive mother, which makes you my elder as well," Yang Qi said with a smile.

"We shouldn’t put it that way. That’s a separate matter," Wu Liang insisted, shaking his head.

"In that case, Elder, why don’t you stay here from now on? You can help me look after this White Mountain Estate," Yang Qi suggested after a moment of thought.

"No problem," Wu Liang nodded.

Afterward, Yang Qi went to see Wu Rouyun. She was currently discussing martial arts with Ye Qianqian. Since they were both women, they naturally had plenty to talk about. Yang Qi greeted them from a distance and departed.

After leaving, Yang Qi found Ye Feng and gave him one hundred billion. He had acquired quite a haul from the Black Evil Sect this time. He kept fifty billion for himself, which was more than enough, and planned to use the remaining one hundred billion to enhance the prestige and influence of the Star Shining Society.

He issued a call to action in the name of the Star Shining Society, announcing plans to invest in the construction and development of Jingnan Prefecture and to support the growth of small and medium-sized enterprises. Although one hundred billion Dragon Coins wasn’t a world-changing sum, it was by no means small, and it would surely attract countless businesses competing for the bids.

Once the news spread, businesses and families in Jingnan Prefecture and the surrounding areas showed immense interest. A hundred billion Dragon Coins was definitely a juicy piece of meat. Sea City was close to Jingnan Prefecture, so they naturally received the news as well. The Wu Family’s upper echelon gathered once again to discuss the matter. After all, that one-hundred-billion-Dragon-Coin investment included their family’s ten billion. That money had been taken by the Black Evil Sect, and after the sect’s destruction, it fell into the hands of the Star Shining Society. They were not willing to let it go.

"The major families in Sea City probably won’t be too interested in this project, but we must win the bid. Even if it’s just to get our ten billion back, we absolutely cannot fail," Old Master Wu declared, setting the tone. "Moreover, the owner of this Star Shining Society is incredibly formidable. Not only is his personal Combat Power immense, but he also has ties to the War God King. We must seize this opportunity."

"Dad, don’t worry, I’ve already sent people to handle it. However, this owner of the Star Shining Society is truly mysterious. Why don’t we have Third Brother contact the War God King for us and have him issue an order for this mysterious owner to meet with us? What do you think?" Wu Heng suggested thoughtfully.

He desperately wanted to meet the owner of the Star Shining Society. The man had single-handedly obliterated both the Tianhai Association and the Black Evil Sect—a terrifying feat. If they could build a good relationship with such a person, who in Sea City would dare to oppose the Wu Family in the future?

"Third Brother is the Deputy Commander of the War God Guard. An order from him should be enough. Why bother the War God King? His Majesty is a very busy man," said Old Master Wu.

"You’re right. I’ll call Third Brother and have him speak to the owner of the Star Shining Society," Wu Heng said with a smile.

In the eyes of the Wu Family, their Third Brother, Wu Yang, was the Deputy Commander of the War God Guard and a pillar of support for the War God King. In reality, Wu Yang was merely an instructor in an army unit on the Western Territory border, a position he received only because of his decent skills. An instructor held no real power. Furthermore, the squad Wu Yang trained had no connection to the War God Guard; it was just an ordinary unit.

Not wanting to lose face, Wu Yang had bragged to his family that he was the Deputy Commander of the War God Guard. He had even boasted that it was he who contacted the War God King, who in turn contacted the owner of the Star Shining Society to eliminate the Black Evil Sect. Because the timing of events was so coincidental, the Wu Family believed him. If this bluff were ever called, one could only imagine how they would react.

Of course, Yang Qi had no idea what the Wu Family was plotting. He wanted nothing to do with such a shameless family.

At that moment, Ye Feng brought the bid proposals for Yang Qi to review. As Yang Qi casually flipped through the documents, he suddenly spotted the bid from the Wu Family of Sea City.

"Get rid of this one," Yang Qi said, tossing the Wu Family’s proposal aside. "With their kind of character, how good could their business possibly be? If they were put in charge of those public welfare projects, they’d undoubtedly screw them up."

He wasn’t selecting companies based on size, but on their potential, strength, and most importantly, their reputation. Any company with a poor reputation was immediately rejected. Moreover, he wanted to nurture more local enterprises for Jingnan Prefecture and help them grow stronger.

While Yang Qi was deliberating on how to best invest the one hundred billion, several unexpected guests arrived at the Thunder City Merchant Alliance.
