Wu Hong was speaking, and Su Yunjin blushed from the praise of the two.
"It’s not that good."
Wu Zhong also spoke up, "Hey, Yunjin girl did make it really well, almost as good as my Lan’er."
"Do you want to die, talking like that in front of the kids?"
Bai glared at Wu Zhong with a playful complaint.
Wu Zhong was someone skilled in sweet talk. Don’t be fooled by his usually discreet and quiet demeanor.
In truth, his ability to charm women was quite high. Otherwise, he couldn’t have, while still an apprentice, won over the only daughter of Doctor Bai at the time, achieving a leap in social class.
From a poor farm boy barely making ends meet, he became the dignified Fishery Manager, a lower-level leader in the Fishing Guild.
Watching Wu Zhong and Bai flirting playfully, Doctor Bai cleared his throat.
"Ahem, let’s talk business. What did you three discover this time?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Zhong said, "Just as I guessed, Yu Biao was planning to establish his authority at my expense. First, he said some things with implied threats, and then he even brought out a pig’s heart to intimidate us. Fortunately, Jiu Si was clever and said we don’t eat pork, so we weren’t led by the nose."
Hearing this, Doctor Bai asked, "Jiu Si, what about you?"
Chen Jiusi, at this moment, put down his bowl and replied, "Yu Biao has likely identified me as the one who went down the mountain behind Uncle Zhong that day and killed his son. However, he’s very patient and hasn’t acted yet, probably out of fear of Brother Hong’s strength. Brother Hong, you wield that teapot impressively; I couldn’t even catch your movements."
Wu Hong shoveled a large spoonful of meat sauce into his mouth and said, "Hey, that’s nothing. In my prime, Yu Biao wouldn’t last two moves against me. Someone like him could only show off while I was severely injured!"
Wu Zhong added, "Hong’er, you shouldn’t be careless. Yu Biao is not just anyone. His master was Gu Qingshan, the elder brother of Gu Qingfeng, the Ghost Hand of the Thirteen Grand Protectors in the Fishing Guild. Though Gu Qingshan died early, the Yu Family and Gu Family share some history."
"Gu Qingfeng has looked after him well, so don’t underestimate him, as he also has connections."
Hearing this, Wu Hong said, "No wonder this guy has been a menace in Xiantao Town for years without Guild Cao dealing with him. There’s that connection, huh?"
Wu Zhong replied, "In these guilds, the managers have complex connections. Making it big in the guilds without backing is really tough."
After Wu Zhong said this, he turned to Chen Jie, "Jiu Si, you’ve completely fallen out with Yu Biao this time. You must be careful; he’s like a viper who could bite you at any time, and it would be deadly!"
Hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Hmm, I had already planned for that when I went."
Wu Zhong added, "Oh, and Jiu Si, I wanted to mention, Li Sanding talked to me earlier. He wants to fight the Village Chief battle on my behalf. What do you think?"
Chen Jie paused at these words, then asked, "Can he do it?"
Today, he had also observed Li Sanding’s strength. He shouldn’t be weaker than Zhao Xun, the former Big Ship Leader. But with his strength, fighting Yu Biao wasn’t promising.
Wu Zhong responded, "He’s been a brother for many years, and he asked me earnestly. I couldn’t refuse."
"Besides, Jiu Si, since you’ve such a big grudge with Yu Biao, I fear he might go all out to kill on or off the stage. Let’s hold back this round and let Li Sanding go."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jie paused.
He looked at Wu Zhong, "Uncle Zhong doesn’t trust me?"
Wu Zhong said, "It’s not that."
Chen Jie said, "Uncle Zhong, I really need this chance!"
"But your strength?"
Wu Zhong worried aloud, as Chen Jie and Yu Biao were almost like open cards now. If he went up against Yu Biao, Yu Biao would certainly go for the kill for revenge.
Wu Zhong didn’t want to see Chen Jie die miserably on the stage.
At this moment, Wu Hong also said, "Jiu Si, I agree with my dad’s approach. Today, I tested out Yu Biao, and his strength is great."
"With your current ability, you surely aren’t his match."
After hearing this, Chen Jie looked at the Wu father and son, knowing they had his best interests at heart.
After all, with his current level of strength, winning against Yu Biao was nearly impossible. Fighting him would be like hitting a rock with an egg.
After understanding this, Chen Jie pondered slightly and said, "But what if I could break into the Refining Body Realm in these four days, could I fight with him?"
"Break into the Refining Body Realm?"
"Four days??"
The two, including Doctor Bai, looked at Chen Jie in surprise. How could this kid speak so boldly? Breaking into the Refining Body Realm wasn’t that easy.
Without the aid of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Chen Jiusi would need at least half a year to break through to Refining Body.
What could he do in just four days!
"Jiu Si, don’t talk nonsense. Breaking through to Refining Body in four days isn’t possible."
Wu Zhong spoke.
Chen Jie said, "Uncle Zhong, Brother Hong, just tell me if I could fight Yu Biao if I enter the Refining Body Realm!"
Hearing this, Wu Hong said, "Jiu Si, if you really could break into the Refining Body Realm, you could definitely fight Yu Biao."
"Actually, from today’s probing, I have already found out that Yu Biao forcefully broke through using Flesh Condensing Pills. Although he entered the Refining Body Realm, he has not fully digested the pill’s power. To fully assimilate it would take at least half a year, or even a whole year. So while he’s in the Refining Body Realm now, it’s actually just the initial stage of Refining Body."
"His strength is definitely stronger than the Skin Buff Realm, but compared to a true Refining Body Realm, there’s still some gap. If a Refining Body fights Skin Buff, it’s a sure crush. But if a Refining Body fights another Refining Body, he doesn’t have the upper hand!"
