"Interesting."
Su Yang smiled. Yang Mange poked her head out from the covers, "Why are you so happy?"
Of course I'm happy. Every time I interact with Yang Mange, the system rewards me.
"I'm thinking if there are any more areas on you that can be developed."
Su Yang said with a serious expression, but a blush flashed across Yang Mange's stunning face.
"Huh?"
The night was like spring.
The next morning, after a night of hard work and exhaustion, Su Yang was ravenous.
"Chengcheng, serve the food!"
Zhou Chengcheng came out with the dishes, her face a little embarrassed.
Su Yang and Yang Mange's voices last night were too loud, she heard everything...
Originally, she chose the room next to Su Yang's so she could quickly cooperate in taking care of him, but she didn't expect to hear everything so clearly now.
"Director Su, I specifically made tiger whip soup. Please drink more."
"Mm."
Su Yang didn't pay attention. His mind was filled with various medicinal herbs and their properties.
He diligently noted down the effects of each herb and their combined efficacy.
As for the human acupuncture point chart, it clearly marked the acupoints on every part of the body.
Su Yang breathed a sigh of relief. This divine doctor's inheritance was too perfect. Even a novice could master it easily and quickly.
"Director Su, will you be attending the banquet with Sister Mange next week?"
"Perhaps!"
Su Yang took out his phone and asked Lu Qi to prepare manpower. He didn't know what would happen at the banquet next week.
At the same time, he asked Xu Jing to investigate Ding Bowen's past and his current connections.
Know yourself and your enemy, and you will win a hundred battles.
Just then, Bai Xinhui sent a message.
[Young Master Su, the head of the underground black market, Shen Tu Bao, just visited the Bai family. The one from the Construction Bureau. He asked me and Grandpa to go... to see that fool...]
Su Yang had heard of this person. He was powerful and well-connected, with people in both the underworld and the legitimate world.
He was a very dangerous person!
[What is your Bai family's stance?]
[Grandpa said we can't offend the person from the Construction Bureau openly. We accepted the invitation. We'll follow your arrangements then.]
Ever since Bai Xinhui received Su Yang's approval, she had become even more obsessed with the position of the Bai family head.
She informed Su Yang of any slightest disturbance immediately.
[Young Master Su, I heard that Ding Bowen is very capable. That old geezer Liu Heng even visited him despite his injuries.]
[Also, the director of the Songhai Construction Bureau branch brought gifts to talk with Ding Bowen. I don't know the specifics.]
[Alright, that's all for now!]
Su Yang put down his phone. After a tiring day, coupled with more than two hours of intense physical activity, he was a bit exhausted.
"Chengcheng, prepare hot water for a bath."
"Yes!"
Security Bureau.
Training base.
The soldiers were training, with Zong Ze personally instructing them.
"Zong Ze, your skills haven't declined at all!"
"Teacher, my rudimentary skills are nothing compared to yours."
Zong Ze said humbly.
He hadn't expected his master to return so suddenly.
In front of Shi Wuzun, the usually strong and domineering Zong Ze was like a child, quietly listening to the elder's teachings.
Just then, a soldier ran over to report.
"Director, Mr. Su is here."
"Oh? Please invite him over!"
Zong Ze straightened his back and stood behind Shi Wuzun.
Su Yang and Jiang Hei walked through the path, seeing soldiers training everywhere.
Jiang Hei rubbed his hands, eager to spar, "Brother Yang, I want to try my hand with them."
"Hold on to that for now, I have something to do!"
Su Yang was getting a headache. Jiang Hei was a martial arts fanatic, wanting to fight anyone he met for fun.
What's more, this guy was tall and agile. Even the Security Bureau soldiers couldn't last three moves against him in a one-on-one fight.
Shi Wuzun saw Su Yang from afar and waved, "Brother Su, long time no see, come sit!"
Su Yang's eyes darted around. Shi Wuzun, this busy man, was actually back?
There were only two chairs on the high training platform.
Su Yang glanced at the honest Zong Ze, "Brother Zong, why aren't you sitting?"
Zong Ze quickly gave him a look, signaling Su Yang to sit.
With Shi Wuzun here, he wouldn't dare to sit.
After Su Yang sat down, "I heard that the person from the Construction Bureau will be here next week. Did you come back for him?"
"Hmph!"
Hearing Zhou Budao's name, Shi Wuzun snorted, "Old ghost Zhou never acts without benefit. His purpose is certainly not just to repay the favor to that divine doctor."
Su Yang nodded. He also felt that things were not that simple.
And, judging by Shi Wuzun's expression, he didn't seem to have a good relationship with Zhou Budao.
"I see. I heard that people in Songhai are preparing gifts to curry favor with that person. Should we three 'show some consideration'?"
"Oh? What gift has Brother Su prepared?"
"I disdain to do such a thing."
Shi Wuzun smiled. Hearing Su Yang say this, he knew Su Yang wouldn't actively try to flatter Zhou Budao.
Su Yang smiled, "I plan to wait until he arrives, and then the three of us will lead people to retrieve the Dragon Head. That way, Brother Shi will surely be able to show off in front of him."
Shi Wuzun pondered. Let Zhou Budao have his moment of glory first. After obtaining the Dragon Head, the supreme being in the capital would surely praise their side.
It would also be an opportunity to suppress Zhou Budao.
Shi Wuzun said indirectly, "Zong Ze, what have you been dawdling about lately? Why haven't you prepared to attack Fangji Island yet?"
"Teacher, I've already discussed two plans with my assistant and will begin soon."
Su Yang's eyes flickered, "Brother Zong, it's best not to let too many people know about this matter. People's hearts are unpredictable!"
Zong Ze seemed to trust his assistant very much, "Brother Su, don't worry. Lai Jianyuan has been with me for ten years. He would never dare to leak any secrets."
Su Yang nodded. The few of them chatted for a while longer about the situation in Songhai.
"Brother Zong, I've also learned some superficial martial arts recently. I hope you can guide me."
Su Yang had practiced the Tai Chi Heaven and Earth Fist and didn't know his true strength without fighting a real master.
Zong Ze was stunned. He had never seen Su Yang fight and wondered when this kid had started learning martial arts.
However, Zong Ze didn't object and looked at Shi Wuzun.
"Go ahead, I also want to see what Brother Su has learned."
After receiving Shi Wuzun's permission, Zong Ze walked to the open training ground.
"Brother Su, feel free to go all out!"
Zong Ze stood with his hands behind his back, in a calm and composed manner.
Su Yang stood opposite him, circulating his qi to his dantian. Black and white light flickered on his fists.
"Tai Chi diagram?"
Shi Wuzun and Zong Ze were slightly surprised, likely guessing which school of martial arts Su Yang had learned.
"Brother Zong, I'm starting now."
Su Yang's aura reached its peak, and he threw the first punch.
The wind of his fist whistled, and black and white light flashed.
—Bang, bang, bang!
Zong Ze calmly extended his palms, deflecting all of Su Yang's attacks.
"Keep your stance stable, and punch fiercely!"
