23: Chapter 23 Integration of the Black Dragon Society

"Really? You're really giving me one?" Zhou Yuyan was very excited, her voice even trembling slightly.

"Of course, I never lie." Xiao Yuchen patted his chest to assure her.

"Okay, thank you. I, Zhou Yuyan, owe you a favor. If you need my help with anything in the future, I definitely won't refuse."

"Good, it's a deal. I'm leaving, you should go back too."

After saying that, Xiao Yuchen drove away. Watching him leave, Zhou Yuyan fell into deep thought, wondering what she was thinking about.

When Xiao Yuchen returned to the school, it was already 10:10 PM. There were only twenty minutes left until the end of evening study session. Xiao Yuchen waited in the school parking lot for a while before seeing Li Yiran and Xiao Yuxin walking over together.

After picking up the two girls, Xiao Yuchen drove home. On the way, Xiao Yuchen told Li Yiran about finding a supply of Chinese medicine.

When she learned that Xiao Yuchen had actually connected with the Zhou Family, Li Yiran was also very shocked. She had thought that Xiao Yuchen would need to put in a lot of effort to gain her father's approval.

As it turned out, in just a few days, Xiao Yuchen had already established a long-term cooperative relationship with the Zhou Family, one of the Four Great Families, and the Zhou Family was even providing them with medicinal materials for free. This was simply a free lunch.

"Yuchen, thank you for everything you've done for me. I will tell my father about this. When he finds out, he will definitely look at you with new eyes, and maybe he will agree to let us be together." Li Yiran was very excited.

"Mm, I hope so. I have already sent the list of medicinal materials for refining the beauty pill to the Zhou Family. I believe we will receive the materials soon, and then I can refine the beauty pill."

After discussing some specific details, Xiao Yuchen arrived at Yushui Villa. After reluctantly sending Li Yiran away, Xiao Yuchen took Xiao Yuxin back to the Lishui Garden villa.

The night was spent in Cultivation. The next morning, Xiao Yuchen went to pick up Li Yiran as usual, but he didn't see her. Ever since they confirmed their relationship, Li Yiran had always been waiting outside for Xiao Yuchen.

Just as Xiao Yuchen was about to go into the villa to look for her, a middle-aged man walked out of the villa; it was Li Yiran's father, Li Feng.

Xiao Yuchen quickly got out of the car and walked up to Li Feng. "Boss, I'm here to pick up the Young Miss for school. I wonder where the Young Miss is?"

"Xiao Yuchen, how has Li Feng treated you over this past year?" Li Feng didn't answer Xiao Yuchen's question but asked back instead.

"The boss has always been very good to me, and I am very grateful." Xiao Yuchen said truthfully.

"Hmph! It's good that you know. I, Li Feng, treated you as one of my own and even entrusted you with protecting Yiran's safety, but what about you? You actually beat up Wang Youzhi. Isn't this sabotaging my Li Family?"

Li Feng's tone was somewhat cold. This was the first time Xiao Yuchen had seen Li Feng so full of Life Qi.

"Boss, it was Wang Youzhi who insulted the Young Miss first. I was just teaching him a lesson; otherwise, he would keep pestering the Young Miss." Xiao Yuchen defended himself.

"What do you know? I had just finished discussing the marriage alliance with the Wang Family and had managed to secure the maximum benefits from them, but because of your momentary impulse, everything is ruined, and our Li Family even has to pay huge compensation."

The more Li Feng talked, the more full of Life Qi he became. If it weren't for the fact that Xiao Yuchen had once saved his daughter and had been protecting her with all his might for the past year, he would have tied Xiao Yuchen up and sent him to the Wang Family to be dealt with.

"Marriage alliance? What marriage alliance?" Xiao Yuchen was shocked inside.

"I have already agreed to a marriage alliance with the Wang Family and promised Yiran to Wang Youzhi. Only by obtaining the Wang Family's help can our Li Family advance further and become the fifth Family of Jiangcheng."

"No, absolutely not. The Young Miss will not agree to this." Xiao Yuchen quickly objected.

"By the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers, as a daughter of the Li Family, she naturally has to make some contributions to the Li Family." Li Feng said as if it were a matter of course.

"You... how could you do this? This will harm the Young Miss. There are other ways to become the fifth Family; the Young Miss and I are already working on it. Didn't she tell you?"

Xiao Yuchen was puzzled. If Li Feng knew about his abilities, he should have chosen him instead. Why would he force his own daughter?

"Tell me what? What makes you say that? If it weren't for the Li Family, would you have your current status? Do you think becoming the fifth Family is that easy?"

In fact, yesterday, as soon as Li Yiran returned home, she was directly controlled by her father. Knowing that she had been arranged for a marriage alliance, Li Yiran was also burning with anger, so how could she have the heart to talk about the beauty pill?

"In short, I will never let Li Yiran marry Wang Youzhi. I will use my own methods to help the Li Family. If the Wang Family dares to stop me, I will destroy the Wang Family." Xiao Yuchen was no longer polite.

"Hmph, destroy the Wang Family? Do you know what you are saying? It's not up to an outsider like you to make decisions about this matter. Considering that you saved Yiran, I won't make things difficult for you. Don't appear in front of me again in the future."

This time, Xiao Yuchen didn't speak, because explaining more would be useless. He wanted to use actual actions to prove his ability, and then Li Feng would naturally have nothing to say.

Xiao Yuchen drove away directly. This scene was seen by Xiao Yuxin, but she also didn't know how to help her brother.

"Brother, are... are you okay?" In the car, Xiao Yuxin asked in a low voice.

"I'm fine, Yuxin. You don't need to take it to heart. I can solve this matter. I'll take you to school first."

After dropping Xiao Yuxin off at school, Xiao Yuchen left immediately. Since he no longer needed to protect Li Yiran, he had no need to go to class either.

Just as Xiao Yuchen was driving aimlessly on the road, his phone suddenly rang. It was a call from the leader of the Golden Sand Gang.

"Hello, what's the matter?" Xiao Yuchen asked directly.

"Boss, it's bad. Brother Leopard knows that the former leader was killed by you. He brought people to surround the Golden Sand Gang headquarters and is demanding that we hand you over."

Hearing this, Xiao Yuchen didn't have any panic; instead, he was somewhat excited.

"Very good. Even if he didn't come looking for me, I would have gone looking for him. I happen to have time today, so I might as well integrate the Black Dragon Society while I'm at it."

Hearing Xiao Yuchen's incredibly arrogant words, the leader of the Golden Sand Gang was also shocked in his heart. What did he mean by "have time today"? Could the Black Dragon Society be integrated just whenever one has time?

Xiao Yuchen didn't explain and hung up the phone directly. As a Cultivator, he was focused on Cultivating and didn't care about these secular forces. However, through Li Yiran's incident, he realized that if he didn't have power, he would be looked down upon and wouldn't even be able to protect his own woman.

With a goal in mind, Xiao Yuchen drove directly to the Golden Sand Gang headquarters. At this moment, more than a hundred hooligans were gathered outside the Golden Sand Gang headquarters, and the leader was none other than Brother Leopard.

Xiao Yuchen could tell at a glance that this Brother Leopard was indeed a Neijin Martial Artist, likely in the Middle Stage of Internal Strength. Although barely acceptable, he was still far worse than himself.

Xiao Yuchen drifted the car and parked it in front of the crowd, then walked out of the car very calmly.

"Quite lively, isn't it? A lot of people came. Do you really think that highly of me?" Xiao Yuchen couldn't help but tease.

Seeing that the other party was just a young man in his twenties, Brother Leopard narrowed his eyes. He actually couldn't see through Xiao Yuchen's cultivation level.

"You are Xiao Yuchen? The former leader of the Golden Sand Gang was killed by you? Was it you who ordered them not to pay the membership fees?" Brother Leopard asked coldly.

"That's right. The Black Dragon Society will also be integrated by me soon. Is there any need for me to pay membership fees to my own forces?"
