Little Qiang's words deeply moved Huang Kunlun, who earnestly said, "Mr. Wang, my life was given by you. Although I know that with my ability, I may not be able to help you much, but as long as it's something within my power, I will definitely do my utmost to help you with it ..."

"Hmm, hearing you say that is very comforting to me. Actually, there isn't much that I need your help with, just that I'll need your help with getting my products into the Hong Kong market," Wang Xiaoqiang said, pausing to ponder, "You also know that I can't always stay here ..."

"Mr. Wang, rest assured, I will take care of things here. Your matters are my Huang Kunlun's matters. I will handle them well for you ..."

"Hmm, during this recent period, it's best if everyone keeps a low profile," Wang Xiaoqiang instructed.

"Yes, I understand!" Huang Kunlun immediately promised.

...

Huang Kunlun indeed kept a low profile, to the point of not even daring to take over the territory at Causeway Bay that belonged to Jiang Tianlang.

Under Wang Xiaoqiang's treatment with Wood Element Spiritual Qi, Liu Juyi and Xia Mi's injuries healed quickly, but Wang Xiaoqiang's doubts did not fade. Since the other party had left a message that they would go after his family, he had to find out their background; otherwise, it would be like groping for stones to cross the river, making it challenging to move forward!

Wang Xiaoqiang made a call, summoning Chiba Keiko, Miyazaki Yuki, Little Bai, and Mozaren, one by one, informing them of Liu Juyi and Xia Mi's injuries as well as the nature of their wounds, asking if they knew anything about the assailant's background.

To this, Miyazaki Yuki appeared completely clueless, obviously not knowing anything. After some divination, Chiba Keiko concluded that it was an ominous omen for Wang Xiaoqiang for the coming year.

Little Bai believed that the wounds on Xia Mi and Liu Juyi were likely inflicted by Cultivators, a view that Mozaren shared. However, they could not determine the background of the assailant.

The conclusions drawn from these individuals weighed even heavier on Wang Xiaoqiang's mind. He became even more eager to urgently uncover the assailant's background. Feeling it necessary to contact someone from the Taiyi Sect, that night, he picked up the Message Jade Slip given to him by Ye Qingcheng and observed it carefully under the light. Indeed, as Ye Qingcheng said, there were a few tiny characters on the verdant jade slip that read, "Ear-reporting Spirit, help me send a message."

Following Ye Qingcheng's instructions, Wang Xiaoqiang recited the characters on the jade slip:

"Ear-reporting Spirit, help me send a message."

As soon as the words were spoken, the jade slip flashed with light and shimmering ripples, and then Ye Qingcheng's voice came through, "Who is sending me a message?"

Wang Xiaoqiang stared at the Message Jade Slip, astonished. It was like a mobile phone, the only difference being that the other side did not know who was sending the message.

Talking into the jade slip, Wang Xiaoqiang said, "It's me, Wang Xiaoqiang."

"Oh, Wang... Wang... it turns out to be Senior! You've finally contacted me ..."

"Daoist Friend Ye, there's no need to call me Senior. Just call me Xiaoqiang," he said.

"How dare I? In the Cultivation Realm, we respect the hierarchy according to one's Cultivation Base. Your Cultivation is even higher than my master's. I can't simply call you by your name..."

"Then it's up to you," Wang Xiaoqiang said, not in the mood to dwell on the formality of titles with Ye Qingcheng. He directly said, "Daoist Friend Ye, there's something I need to ask you about?"

"Just ask about what?"

"This matter is somewhat complicated. I'm afraid it won't be clear if I explain it through the jade slip, so ..."

"Oh, then I should come to you. Where are you now?" Ye Qingcheng, always amenable, readily offered to come see Wang Xiaoqiang without waiting for him to finish speaking.

"Would that not trouble you too much?" Wang Xiaoqiang hesitated.

"It's no trouble at all," Ye Qingcheng responded definitively. "I also have something I need to tell you ..."

"Uh, okay then, come over," Wang Xiaoqiang said, "I'm currently in Saigon, Hong Kong. When you get to Hong Kong, send me a message with a jade talisman, and I'll come to meet you ..."

"All right, Senior!" Ye Qingcheng cheerfully agreed, her voice filled with excitement.

The next evening, Wang Xiaoqiang received a message from Ye Qingcheng saying she had arrived at the International Airport in Hong Kong, and he immediately drove to Fragrance Airport to pick her up.

Ye Qingcheng's outfit was a bit more secular this time, but she still carried that peculiar bundle on her back, which Wang Xiaoqiang knew concealed a Flying Sword.

Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang, Ye Qingcheng appeared very happy. Noticing that Wang Xiaoqiang was driving a Rolls-Royce, she said, "Yo, Daoist Friend Wang, you seem to be doing well, driving a world-famous car."

"Uh, this is a friend's car," Wang Xiaoqiang replied truthfully, though such a Rolls-Royce was within his means to buy.

"Huh? Why didn't you fly here on your sword? Wouldn't that have been more leisurely?" Wang Xiaoqiang picked up Ye Qingcheng from the airport and asked while in the car.

"I don't have the cultivation base as profound as yours. Kunlun Snow Mountain is too far away, my spiritual power can't reach that distance..."

"Uh, you mean, your Taiyi Sect is on Kunlun Snow Mountain?"

"Yeah, how come, senior, you didn't know?" Ye Qingcheng said in surprise. Taiyi Sect was a major cultivation sect, well-known to all cultivators, and with Wang Xiaoqiang's level of cultivation, he shouldn't be ignorant of it.

"Uh, Daoist Friend Ye, could you not call me senior? It feels odd to others if they hear it. Also, if you don't mind, I'll call you Little Ye..."

"Sure, as long as you don't get angry, senior, I'll call you Little Qiang, and you can call me Little Ye..."

"Of course, I don't mind. Uh, Little Ye, you must be hungry after sitting on the plane for so long, why don't we go eat something first...?"

"Sure," Ye Qingcheng said, "I am indeed a bit hungry."

Wang Xiaoqiang then started the car and drove towards a hotel called Kaixing.

Hong Kong is known as a 'Gourmet Paradise.' With its diverse social environment, it not only offers world-renowned culinary flavors from various provinces of China but also provides famous dishes from Asia and Europe. In an urban population of over six million, there are more than eight thousand restaurants of all sizes. Not only do they cater to every regional taste from east, west, north, and south, but they are also good value for money.

No matter your taste or budget, the restaurants in Hong Kong can always meet your needs. There are many types of eateries in Hong Kong, with different names, generally including restaurants, teahouses, dining rooms, tea rooms, fast food restaurants, buffets, cafés, congee and noodle shops, street stalls, dessert shops, herbal tea shops, and so forth. Most Hong Kong residents come from the neighboring Guangdong Province.

Some say that Cantonese people don't 'eat to live' but 'live to eat.' In Hong Kong, with the majority being Cantonese people who like to entertain friends in restaurants, the food and beverage industry is thriving. As an international city where Eastern and Western cultures merge, although Hong Kong is famous for Guangdong cuisine, it does not reject other famous Chinese regional dishes or foreign cuisines; instead, it assimilates and complements them. Eating in Hong Kong, one can enjoy delicacies from all over the world, both Eastern and Western, from all directions. From exotic delicacies to seafood, everything is available. In fact, one can be in Hong Kong and taste delicacies from all over the world.

Upon arriving at the Kaixing Hotel and stepping into the spacious lobby, Ye Qingcheng's beauty immediately attracted everyone's attention. Both men and women were captivated by her stunning appearance.

Guided by the reception, the two booked a private room at the front desk and ordered several classic dishes—

Pepper cake, garlic fried shark, meatballs with chestnuts, lotus root soup, scallops with mushrooms, minced olive pork, sautéed French beans with garlic, and steamed cabbage.

Sitting down, Wang Xiaoqiang then said, "Little Ye, to tell you the truth, although I have some cultivation, I know nothing about the cultivation realm. So, let alone that your Taiyi Sect and other cultivation sects, I don't even know about the martial arts families..."

"Really?" Ye Qingcheng stared at Wang Xiaoqiang in disbelief. "Your master only taught you the cultivation technique but didn't tell you anything about the cultivation realm?"

"You hit the nail on the head. That's exactly how stubborn he is. Think about it, I don't even know his name, so why would he tell me about other things..."

"That makes sense. Maybe your master doesn't want you to get involved with the martial world..." Ye Qingcheng said somewhat disappointedly. She came here on the orders of her great-grandmaster to invite Wang Xiaoqiang to join the Taiyi Sect.

"That's not it," Wang Xiaoqiang said. "Oh, right, Little Ye, I invited you here because I wanted to ask you something..."

"Whatever it is, speak up, I'm all ears..." Ye Qingcheng tilted her head with interest, her bright, beautiful eyes fixated on Wang Xiaoqiang. To her, Wang Xiaoqiang was like a mystery, and through his words, she hoped to understand this man better.

Wang Xiaoqiang recounted to Ye Qingcheng the incidents of Liu Juyi and Xia Mi being injured, including the matter of the blood-written letter.

After listening, Ye Qingcheng became even more puzzled. "Little Qiang, with your level of cultivation, someone still dares to threaten you? That person must not want to live, right?"

"Of course, I'm not afraid, but what if the other party retaliates against my family or friends? I can't always be by their side..." Wang Xiaoqiang said helplessly.

"Hmm," Ye Qingcheng nodded solemnly upon hearing this, "Based on your description, the assassin must be a cultivator. The wounds on your friend were caused by true qi... However, I cannot deduce who the attacker is just from the two wounds, since such injuries are too common. For instance, both you and I could inflict them..."

"Hmm..." Wang Xiaoqiang felt somewhat disappointed when he saw that Ye Qingcheng also didn't have any answer.

Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang's disappointment, Ye Qingcheng couldn't help but say, "Don't worry. If you are truly concerned about your family's safety, then join our Taiyi Sect. Once you become a member of the Taiyi Sect, your family and friends will be protected by the sect..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaoqiang was somewhat tempted and asked, "If I join your Taiyi Sect, wouldn't that mean I won't have any freedom after?"

"What kind of logic is that? The Taiyi Sect is not a prison. How could you say there's no freedom..." Ye Qingcheng stared at Wang Xiaoqiang with a chuckle, "You haven't been watching too much TV, have you?"

"Then tell me, what rules does your sect have..."

"I'll let you understand a rough overview of the cultivation realm first!" Seeing that Wang Xiaoqiang didn't flatly refuse to join the Taiyi Sect, Ye Qingcheng patiently began to explain... "Taiyi Sect is a colossal sect in the cultivation realm, on par with Penglai Immortal Sect and Mount Hua Sword Sect, known as the Three Major Cultivation Sects. There are also some hidden cultivation families and ancient martial families, but these families and martial lineages cannot compare to those Three Major Sects..." (To be continued.
