Soon, the disciple who had gone to deliver the message ran back and said to Xiang Ji:

"I've delivered the message, Master invites you to come over and sit for a while."

Hearing the words of the disciple at the door, a smile crossed Xiang Ji's face. He looked in the direction of the Suye Group's building as if he could see Wang Ye, his eyes gleaming with the light of hatred.

And the pleasure of taking imminent revenge.

Last time, Xiang Ji's father Xiang Fang had come to the Yuncheng Martial Arts Association with the expectation of gaining something, but contrary to his expectations, he didn't gain any benefit at all. Therefore, upon returning home, Xiang Fang directly discussed with the people at the Yuncheng Martial Arts Association how to deal with Wang Ye in the future.

However, they had not found a good opportunity to target Wang Ye until yesterday when they learned about the incident that happened to Wang Ye; only then did they finally find a chance to take action against him.

...

On the way to Xijiang Province.

Tan Long was driving in front, with Wang Ye and Chai Yan sitting together in the car.

Meanwhile, Xiong Ma, Luo Lian, and Yu Gong were sitting in another car.

Wang Ye had Chai Yan sit in a separate car with him because there were certain matters he was unaware of and needed to consult Chai Yan about.

For instance... issues concerning the execution of tasks by the Martial Arts Association.

A few days ago, Wang Ye had just returned from Magic Capital and was immediately attacked by five Fourth Grade Martial Warriors. This incident was something Wang Ye still dwelt on, and he had been investigating it these past few days.

However, he hadn't found any clues.

Today, Wang Ye planned to inquire with Chai Yan to see if he knew anything about these issues.

Although I, Wang Ye, currently serve as the President of the Yuncheng Martial Arts Association, the problem is, I haven't been in the position for very long.

The person who had served as President of the Yuncheng Martial Arts Association for the longest time before me was Chai Yan.

Some questions are more easily answered by consulting Chai Yan.

"Chai Yan," Wang Ye began.

"What is it, Chairman Wang?" Chai Yan immediately looked at Wang Ye when he heard him speak. After yesterday's events, Chai Yan's admiration for Wang Ye had significantly intensified.

"When our Martial Arts Association dispatches Martial Warriors for tasks, is there a rule that if the mission fails, they must die?"

"No, there isn't," Chai Yan shook his head. Although he didn't know why Wang Ye was asking this, as the current President of the Yuncheng Martial Arts Association, Chai Yan would earnestly respond to any question Wang Ye asked.

"Our Martial Arts Association imposes penalties for incomplete tasks, but it is not a matter of death. After the task is completed, a generous reward is given based on the completed task."

Wang Ye nodded thoughtfully and continued his inquiry, "But what if a Martial Warrior who knows certain secrets is about to disclose them during a mission? Is there a way to find out immediately and dispose of them before they can be saved?"

When Wang Ye posed this question, he recalled how the last of the five Fourth Grade Martial Warriors who attacked him the day before yesterday was about to disclose some useful information, but suddenly succumbed to poison and died before Wang Ye had a chance to save him.

The methods of the opponent were indeed ruthlessly efficient.

Could this be one of the Yuncheng Martial Arts Association's tactics against him?

Wang Ye was aware that he had previously offended Xiang Fang, making Xiang Fang feel unsatisfied, so it was very likely that Xiang Fang might come after him.

Although the chance was slim that just Xiang Fang would send out five Fourth Grade Martial Warriors as dead soldiers to target him, Wang Ye still felt the need to investigate before he could eliminate Xiang Fang from the list of suspects.

Upon hearing Wang Ye's question, Chai Yan looked at him suspiciously, as if thinking that because of Wang Ye's query, he might be planning to do something unsavory.

Therefore, when Chai Yan spoke, even the volume of his voice decreased:

"Chairman Wang, there's no such magical thing, and besides, our Martial Arts Association is very meticulous about this. The Martial Warriors only know about the tasks they are assigned, nothing else."

"Even if the details of who gave them the task were to be leaked, it wouldn't matter to our Martial Arts Association; we're not afraid of anything," Chai Yan said, his expression one of uncertainty as he looked at Wang Ye. After some thought, he continued:

"Chairman Wang, you're not planning to target someone, are you? Let me tell you, in our Martial Arts Association, it's not allowed to use the Association's people for settling personal grudges. That would be a violation of the rules."

As Chai Yan delivered this admonition, though they were in a moving car, he seemed fearful of being overheard and spoke even more softly:

"However, Chairman Wang, if you do have a personal grudge with someone and want to take care of them, just let me know. I will definitely help you sort them out. Don't worry, I am very tight-lipped."

Chai Yan's words left Wang Ye with a wry smile. Wang Ye shook his head at Chai Yan and replied with a laugh:

"What are you thinking? I don't have that intention. Besides, if I truly wanted to take care of someone, with my own strength, I could handle it directly, couldn't I?"

"Oh."

Chai Yan acknowledged with a single word and his mood relaxed considerably.

He had been too tense.

Just now, he had thought Wang Ye was planning to do something drastic.

Indeed, yesterday's successful maneuver against Yun Hong had given Wang Ye a special image in Chai Yan's mind. Therefore, when Wang Ye first spoke, coupled with the nature of his questions, Chai Yan subconsciously suspected Wang Ye wanted to do something.

Wang Ye stopped talking and pondered.

So, the one who wanted to target him that day was not from the Martial Arts Association's side.

Xiang Fang's name was crossed off his list.

Yet Wang Ye did not consider Xiang Fang harmless.
