Chapter 312: Chapter 175: You Truly Have Great Vision (Part 2)
"By the way, Master Ye, I have one more humble request."
Zheng Zhiguang cautiously maintained his demeanor, clearly showing his carefulness when facing Ye Qingzhou: "Tomorrow, there will be a grand banquet at the Commerce Association. I wonder if Master Ye has time?"
"I will head for Jiuli Grotto Heaven the day after tomorrow, so I can attend the banquet tomorrow."
Ye Qingzhou understood that this was Zheng Zhiguangâs intention to let the prominent figures of the Linjiang Commerce Association have the opportunity to meet Ye Qingzhou and get familiar with him, so as not to accidentally offend him one day.
"Alright, I shall take my leave then."
Zheng Zhiguang said with a smile, and then he left with his driver and bodyguard, leaving behind the mansion that originally belonged to him.
Not long after, Zheng Zhiguang announced the news in the associationâs group chat. The moment the name "Ye Qingzhou" was mentioned, it immediately drew out all the business tycoons who had been lurking silently. Connecting it with the recent rumors, everyoneâs expressions were of great excitement.
"He actually invited Ye Qianlong!"
"Shouldnât we address him as Master Ye now?"
"Though heâs not at that level yet, having the ability to refine a Divine Weapon puts him not far off."
"I heard heâs only seventeen, yet already possesses Master Level strength?"
"Master Liiâs body was just unearthed by the Martial Arts Association yesterday, it took them three whole days to dig him out, what do you think?"
Without a doubt, Lii Yaopingâs corpse was the best testament to Ye Qingzhouâs strength.
To beat a Master Level Martial Artist, who had successfully crafted the Mountain Pattern Dragon-Breaking Armor, to death right on the Dragon Vein, such prowess was extraordinary, even among Master Level Martial Artists.
There were low murmurs in the group, yet no one dared to step forward and speak.
Everyone in the discussion couldnât help but sigh. Although they fought and worked hard their whole lives, accumulating millions in wealth, when it came to status and influence, most of Linjiangâs upper-class elite couldnât compare to Ye Qingzhou at this moment.
A powerful Martial Artistâs status often comes from their own strength. As long as the strength is there, regardless of who they were before, they are destined to be superior now.
"Hello?"
"Yingyue, itâs me."
"Did my lord encounter something?"
"Itâs good news, weâre moving to a new home."
Ye Qingzhou then took Yingyue and Youu Ruo to move into the mansion together.
......
"Whoa~"
Youu Ruo, like a curious child, looked around everywhere in the mansion, much like Granny Liu visiting the Grand View Garden, as if she couldnât get enough of looking around.
Then her adorable little face scrunched up, looking quite distressed: âCleaning such a big house would be exhausting for snakes!â
Ye Qingzhou noticed her distress and said with a smile, "Donât worry, thereâs a dedicated cleaning crew in the mansion every day, so Yingyue wonât be able to make you do house chores anymore."
"Yay!"
The little girl happily bounced around, her little face filled with great joy.
Unfortunately, she wasnât very good at speaking yet, and could only make some simple interjections to express her emotions.
"Mr. Ye, this is your master bedroom, the basement is a meditation room for practice, on the first floor there is a reception hall, study, and entertainment room, this second floor here has guest rooms... the third floor..."
An elderly man respectfully introduced by Ye Qingzhouâs side.
"Good."
Ye Qingzhou nodded to the old man, "Uncle Liang, we may have just met, but as President Zheng assigned you to me, I trust him, and naturally, I trust you too. I hope you will look after the house diligently when Iâm not around."
"Yes, Mr. Ye, I will do my utmost."
The old man felt a sense of relief knowing he could keep his job, previously worried that Ye Qingzhou might dismiss him.
The old manâs name was Liang Han, formerly employed by Zheng Zhiguang as a caretaker, responsible for managing this lavish mansion with its vast grounds of over 40,000 square meters and hundreds of rooms, just arranging for daily cleaning wasnât easy.
Moreover, to live comfortably in the mansion, regular maintenance was essential, requiring a professional for management.
"Good, now take my two subordinates to familiarize themselves with the mansion, and call me if something comes up."
Ye Qingzhouâs deep voice echoed in Uncle Liangâs ears.
"Yes."
Uncle Liang respectfully bowed and took Yingyue and Youu Ruo along as they gradually withdrew.
Ye Qingzhou approached the window. This was the only three-story building in the entire mansion; the others were all two stories. Standing here, he could view every corner around, with gardens, pavilions, ponds, and gazebos, all extravagantly decorated.
"From today on, this will be my new home."
Ye Qingzhou felt quite emotional.
The Jiangshan Imperial View was ultimately just a temporary abode, but this mansion in front of him was something he earned through his own strength, something that truly belonged to him.
Linjiang is a significant city after all, to have such a grand mansion, especially in Lengshuitan, where the wealthy gather, an ordinary person might never dream of owning such a mansion here, but for Ye Qingzhou, it came easily.
It wasnât even something he spent money on; rather, it was handed to him by others.
"All of this is because of my strength. The Martial Dao path on Blue Star is indeed an instant success."
"However, itâs not nearly enough."
"Right now, Iâm not a true Martial Arts Master. Potential is just potential. Even with a Divine Weapon in hand, if I donât grow in strength fast enough, in the future, I might not be able to defend such a treasure."
Ye Qingzhouâs mind was very clear at this moment. He understood that no benefit in this world could be taken without cost. Zheng Zhiguang gave him the mansion recognizing his future potential on the path of Martial Dao.
But in the Dongji Kingdom, the esteemed Martial Arts Masters, to put it plainly, are just a group of âgatekeepingâ security guards.
