My Silly, Sweet Wife

Regarding the presence of Ye Guichen, Lv Liang had obviously informed his martial arts hall members about it.

As they spoke, five or six people had already gathered around the two of them.

Ye Guichen had long been suspicious of Lv Liang and today he wanted to confirm Lv Liang’s connection with King Yan. He no longer concealed his thoughts and smiled, ”I just went to the Violet Bar and had a drink with Brother Zhao. I dropped by since I had nothing else to do.”

”Brother Zhao? Zhao Taixui?” Lv Liang was unsure of Ye Guichen’s situation. ”You’ve known Zhao Taixui for a while?”

Previously, he had sent Yongzi to keep an eye on Ye Guichen, but Yongzi and his team did not enter the bar; they waited outside instead. Therefore, they were unaware of the situation inside the bar.

Upon hearing Ye Guichen’s words, he was slightly taken aback.

If Ye Guichen had connections with Zhao Taixui, it would inevitably be troublesome.

Ye Guichen didn’t explain, ”Why? Does Master Lu know Brother Zhao?”

”Haha, we’re all from Jinling! That Zhao Taixui manages dozens of bars, I often go for drinks too, so we’ve met a few times.” Lv Liang’s expression was somewhat unnatural. He stepped forward and wrapped an arm around Ye Guichen’s shoulders, ”Come on, since you’re here, why don’t you take a tour of my martial arts hall and see if it suits you?”

As he spoke, he gave a look to someone nearby.

The man understood and quietly retreated.

Ye Guichen naturally saw everything but pretended not to notice.

Lv Liang led Ye Guichen around the entire martial arts hall.

The hall was quite large, over a thousand square meters, with two floors. In this area where every inch of land was valuable, it was definitely a substantial sum.

Unknowingly, Lv Liang had brought Ye Guichen to the training ground.

There was a wrestling ring, where people were sparring.

Although they were wearing protective gear, their attacks were fierce, clearly indicating they were skilled practitioners.

One of them, in particular, had such powerful punches that he was able to hold his own against three others without losing ground.

”Brother Fei, keep it up!”

”Brother Fei, be gentle!”

”Come on, quickly now, make it a quick fight.”

In the ring, the person surrounded in the middle appeared to be thirty-four or thirty-five years old, without any protective gear. Facing his three assailants, he smiled slightly, moving with precision and speed.

In almost the blink of an eye, he sent them flying.

The three struggled to get up and quickly ran to Brother Fei, showering him with flattery.

Lv Liang, proud, pointed at Brother Fei, ”Brother Ye, this is Ding Fei, our star coach. I paid a substantial sum to hire him, and he’s a master ranked on the Hidden Dragon List.”

”The Hidden Dragon List?” Ye Guichen didn’t expect Ding Fei to be so formidable.

Although Ye Guichen didn’t pay much attention to the Hidden Dragon List, having a coach from a small martial arts hall ranked on it came as a surprise.

”Master?”

It seemed that Ding Fei had just noticed Lv Liang and jumped down from the ring, ”Master, why aren’t you resting yet, even though it’s already late?”

Lv Liang patted Ye Guichen’s shoulder, ”Come, let me introduce you. This Brother Ye was personally recommended by Boss Duan of Dragon Teeth. He’s here in Jinling to investigate the underground scene.”

As he spoke, he raised his voice deliberately, ensuring everyone could hear him.

Ding Fei obviously knew a bit about Dragon Teeth. Hearing Lv Liang’s introduction, he smirked, showing no respect, ”Oh? I heard Boss Duan is quite a master. Since this Brother Ye has his recommendation, I guess he must be quite skilled too?”

Ye Guichen could easily detect the provocation in Ding Fei’s words. He responded with a faint smile, ”Not at all, it’s just Boss Duan’s overestimation.”

”Oh really?” Ding Fei smiled playfully, ”Since you’re here at our martial arts hall today, how about I have a couple of trainees spar with you, Brother Ye?”

Ye Guichen joked, ”Brother Ding, that’s too kind. I’m just here to chat with Master Lu, let’s skip the sparring.”

Ding Fei sneered, ”What? Brother Ye, are you afraid?”

Lv Liang’s eyes carried a hint of amusement as if trying to mediate, ”Coach Ding, look at you, Brother Ye was recommended by Boss Duan himself. Even if he’s not on the Hidden Dragon List, his skills are certainly better than our trainees! Come on, it’s late, Brother Ye just had a drink and might not even be sober yet.”

With just a few words, he seemed to support Ye Guichen, but it was clear to everyone that Ye Guichen didn’t dare to make a move.

Ye Guichen laughed silently.

How could he not see through Lv Liang’s intentions?

He just wanted to embarrass him.

Although he hadn’t fully understood why Lv Liang was targeting him, getting slapped in the face, Ye Guichen naturally wouldn’t just offer up his face for more slaps.

”Coach Ding, I’m sorry. Since Boss Duan thought highly of me and sent me here to Jinling, I shouldn’t lose face for him! Sparring with your trainees, wouldn’t that be too demeaning? But, sparring with Coach Ding, if you lost, wouldn’t it be embarrassing for you in front of your trainees? So, let’s not.”

”What? You think you can win?” Ding Fei exploded.

This was blatant provocation.

As the 93rd-ranked master on the Hidden Dragon List, he was revered wherever he went.

Even Lv Liang had to respect him, never daring to say a disrespectful word.

Because Ding Fei was the face of this martial arts hall.

The Nandu Martial Arts Hall could do without Lv Liang, but not without Ding Fei.

It was precisely because of Ding Fei that the Nandu Martial Arts Hall became the largest martial arts hall in Jinling within a few years.

Naturally, Ding Fei was not only a coach but also regularly accepted challenges.

But he had never been defeated.

He was even given the title of ”Unbeatable Coach.”

With such skills and status, being outrightly provoked by an unassuming guy today was beyond belief.

Did you really think having Boss Duan from Dragon Teeth backing you meant you could do whatever you wanted?

Ding Fei sneered, ”In that case, I’d like to spar with Brother Ye myself. Are you brave enough?”

As he spoke, he leaped onto the ring, beckoning Ye Guichen with his hand, ”Come on.”

Ye Guichen shrugged, considering teaching this arrogant guy a lesson when suddenly a commotion erupted outside.

”Oh no, there’s a fire!”

Soon, someone ran in frantically.

”Master, the Tianhe Martial Arts Hall next door is on fire.”

Everyone’s expression changed slightly.

This was the city center, equipped with fire prevention systems, how could a fire easily break out?

However, as if anticipating something, Lv Liang quickly said, ”Let’s go check it out.”

The match came to an abrupt halt.

Although Ding Fei didn’t want to let Ye Guichen off the hook just like that, the chaos outside obviously attracted everyone’s attention.

Ye Guichen couldn’t be bothered with Ding Fei at the moment, hurried out of the Nandu Martial Arts Hall, and glanced to his left.

There, flames were soaring into the sky.

A crowd had gathered around.

Quickly moving with the crowd, he saw that the fire had grown too large to be extinguished.

Several people lay in disarray at the entrance of the martial arts hall, their bodies covered with injuries.

Judging by their looks, the injuries were not burns but beatings.
