The Master and His Wealthy Fiancée

The two from the Yang Family were overjoyed. Ever since they saw Chen Dong in action at the He Family's banquet, they had held unshakable confidence in him.

He could even repel a Celestial Spirit Powerhouse. Even if Chen Dong wasn't one himself, he couldn't be far off. As long as Chen Dong agreed to help them deal with the Nanchuan Yang Family, they were confident they would succeed.

They had been racking their brains on how to persuade Chen Dong to help, but with the recent incident involving Yang Jie, Chen Dong had cast aside the Sacrificial Jade Pendant. They knew if they didn't speak up now, they would lose their chance.

Forced by desperation, they had no choice but to ask directly. They never expected Chen Dong to agree so readily.

Now, they would have agreed to several more conditions, let alone just one.

Chen Dong looked Yang Rong up and down, making her feel a little embarrassed.

'Could it be that Chen Dong wants to marry Yang Rong?' the two from the Yang Family wondered.

But before they could dwell on it, Chen Dong spoke. "I can see that Yang Rong has the makings of a martial artist. I will help her grow quickly so she can help me watch over the Li Family in the future."

Yang Rong's eyes filled with surprise and delight, and she quickly agreed.

Chen Dong took out a porcelain vial, tipped out a Star Luo Pill, and handed it to Yang Rong. "Take this now. I'll lend you a hand!"

Without any hesitation, Yang Rong swallowed the pill. Right there in the living room, she sat down on the spot and began to circulate her True Qi.

Chen Dong stepped forward and inserted twenty-seven Silver Needles into major acupoints all over Yang Rong's body. "I am using this needle technique to stimulate your potential," he explained, "allowing you to better absorb the Star Luo Pill's medicinal effects. Focus your mind and prepare for a breakthrough."

Yang Rong's aura began to climb steadily. Originally a True Qi Martial Artist, she instantly broke through to become a High-Grade Martial Artist. But her aura didn't stop there; instead, it grew even more intense.

The True Qi circulated through Yang Rong's meridians, eventually forming a perfect, seamless cycle. It was as if some invisible barrier in the air had been shattered. Her presence erupted, and her True Qi flowed as she willed, free and natural. This was the sign that Yang Rong had stepped into the Grandmaster Realm.

The Yang Family had once spent twenty billion to invest in the Li Family, all to find a reliable Grandmaster to protect them. They never imagined becoming a Grandmaster could be so simple. In just a short while, Yang Rong herself had actually broken through to the Grandmaster Realm.

She was overcome with excitement, her concentration nearly faltering, but Chen Dong's sharp reprimand brought her back: "Focus your mind!"

But Grandmaster was not the end of Yang Rong's breakthrough. Her aura continued to rise, creating an invisible pressure that even the members of the Li Family could feel.

She continued from the initial stage of the Grandmaster Realm all the way to Mid-grade Grandmaster before she finally stopped and began to stabilize her new Realm.

Everyone in the living room was utterly shocked. 'Cultivating martial arts can be this simple? She became a Grandmaster just like that?'

Li Qinghe, who was closest to the Grandmaster Realm himself, was particularly agitated. He could now see the hope of becoming a Grandmaster within his lifetime.

Yang Anyi had already held Chen Dong in extremely high regard, but after witnessing this, he realized he had still underestimated him. With a miraculous person of such means, as long as they stayed on good terms with him, how could the Yang Family not prosper?

After a moment, Yang Rong opened her eyes. She stood up, knelt before Chen Dong with wholehearted submission, and said with utmost seriousness, "Thank you for your help, Sir!" With that, she kowtowed and said again, "First, thank you for saving my life."

She kowtowed again. "Second, thank you for not holding our past actions against me."

She kowtowed a third time. "And third, thank you for helping me become a Grandmaster."

Chen Dong accepted her kowtows as his due. "Get up." With a simple lift of his hand, he helped Yang Rong to her feet.

"You have great talent. Go back and properly comprehend your new state. The Grandmaster Realm is only your beginning!"

The two from the Yang Family nodded, their eyes filled with reverence. Chen Dong did not ask them to stay for dinner, and they eventually left, their hearts pounding with excitement.

After the Yang Family members had left, it finally dawned on the Li Family why the Yang Family would spend twenty billion for just ten percent of their shares. It was all because of Chen Dong.

For a moment, they all became somewhat reserved around Chen Dong.

Li Jianwen was filled with immense regret. 'Why didn't I just have Huiran and Chen Dong go get a real marriage certificate back then?' Now, he could no longer bring himself to suggest it.

Li Qinghe, however, looked at Chen Dong with an expectant expression.

Chen Dong laughed heartily. "Grandpa, don't look like that. Your main priority right now is to recuperate. There's a Star Luo Pill with your name on it, so don't worry. If you took it now, you could also reach the Grandmaster Realm, but you'd have no hope of becoming a Celestial Spirit Powerhouse. However, if you let your body recover first and then take it... with some top-quality medicinal herbs in the future, breaking through to become a Celestial Spirit Powerhouse wouldn't be impossible."

When Li Qinghe heard that he still had a chance to break through and become a Celestial Spirit Powerhouse, his old face flushed red. He said repeatedly, "Good, good! I'll focus on my recovery right away! Let's go, let's go, time to eat! I'm going to eat a little extra today!"

After dinner, Li Huiran brought up the matter of the Huang Family, as well as the contract they had given to Chen Dong.

Li Qinghe first sighed with emotion. The Li Family had been suppressed by the Huang Family for nearly ten years, and now the Huang Family had actually met such an end.

Li Jianwen, however, glanced at Chen Dong with a hint of suspicion. Chen Dong put on an innocent look, indicating that it really wasn't his doing.

As for the Huang Family's asset transfer contract, no one doubted its authenticity now, because it was Chen Dong who had brought it back.

They then talked about transferring the Huang Family's assets to Chen Dong, but he refused, stating that he truly wasn't skilled in business.

In Li Qinghe's eyes, it didn't matter who owned them; they were all family anyway. With his final say, the matter was settled.

They discussed for a while longer who should take over the Huang Company, then they all went to wash up and go to bed.

Li Huiran returned to her room, and when she flipped on the light, she jumped in fright. There was a "zombie beauty" on her bed!

Only then did she remember her best friend!
