Ye Ling, accompanied by Su Rou, left the Jinling Martial Arts Academy under the uncertain gazes of the crowd.
Tian Zaiye lay sprawled on the arena, seemingly abandoned by the world, unable to move, with no one coming to his aid.
The once strongest warrior of Jinling City, now crippled by Ye Ling, had no one willing to help him leave!
Tian Zaiye's eyes were blood-red, filled with an undissolvable intent to kill and hatred.
With his limbs disabled, even though he was half a step away from being a Great Grandmaster, he had now lost the ability to move.
Thinking about living like a disabled person for the rest of his life, the hatred in Tian Zaiye's eyes surged even more.
"Carry me away, and I'll give him a million!"
Tian Zaiye screamed with all his might.
Under the temptation of money, someone finally tiptoed onto the stage.
This was a middle-aged man in his forties, who swiftly picked up Tian Zaiye and, while everyone was still stunned, had already left the Jinling Martial Arts Academy with Tian Zaiye!

"Damn! That guy got there first! An easy million, just like that!"
Only after the middle-aged man disappeared did someone belatedly exclaim.
...
In one of Tian's properties in Jinling.
Tian Zaiye lied in bed like a vegetable, his limbs wrapped in thick bandages.
The man by the bed was the one who had carried Tian Zaiye away from the Jinling Martial Arts Academy.
Under the lure of money, the man chose to stay by Tian Zaiye's side to serve him!
Even though Tian Zaiye's limbs were disabled, he was still half a step from being a Great Grandmaster!
Though his power was greatly reduced, just the inner energy within his body was enough to kill any ordinary Grandmaster!
Having such a formidable figure as his backer filled the background-less middle-aged man with joy!
"Call Master Zhao for me."
Tian Zaiye said coldly.
The middle-aged man trembled and quickly picked up a nearby mobile phone, finding a contact named Master Zhao.
The call was quickly answered, and Zhao Qingming's calm voice came through the phone, "What can I do for you, Elder Tian?"
"Master Zhao, I have been crippled!"
"What! You are a half-step Great Grandmaster, who in Jinling City could possibly cripple you!"
Upon hearing Tian Zaiye's words, Zhao Qingming's voice carried a hint of shock.
Tian Zaiye revealed everything about Ye Ling and the Su family, but he concealed Ye Ling's identity, only stating that he had the strength of a Great Grandmaster.
"Alright, since the Tian family works for me, Zhao Qingming, I certainly will not ignore this matter!"
After speaking, Yan Jidao stood up and left, not daring to delay Ye Ling's time at all!
After he left, Ye Jiu appeared beside Ye Ling.
"Sir, are you really going to Gusu City?"
Ye Ling smiled and nodded, saying, "Since I have received the Medicine God's legacy, I naturally have to take care of the Medicine God sect. Besides, Yan Jidao regards me as his master, would it not be improper for me not to help?"
"Moreover, the Zhao family is also in Gusu City. It's also a good opportunity to investigate Grandpa Su's poisoning issue. Additionally, Gusu City has beautiful scenery, where I can take Rou'er for a stroll to relax."
Hearing this, Ye Jiu bowed his head in thought.
Compared to the first two reasons, perhaps the third reason is your real intention, right?
Ye Jiu thought to himself, yet he dared not voice this thought aloud!
Ye Ling glanced at him, his indifferent gaze making Ye Jiu shudder, as if all his thoughts had been seen through by Ye Ling!
"Let's go, tell Rou'er the news at the Su family."
"Yes, Sir!"
Ye Jiu responded, turned around, and drove the carriage to the front gate of the Ye household.
The two headed toward the Su family.
Perhaps because of the joy of old Master Su's awakening, every face in the Su family wore a faint smile.
"Hmph, that worthless son-in-law Ye Ling is here again!"
"What exactly does this guy want? Does he think he's invincible just because he defeated Lord Tian? People from Badao won't let him off the hook!"
"I think this guy just wants to drag our Su family into disaster!"
...
Upon seeing Ye Ling, Su Ya and others who were chatting in the courtyard immediately stiffened, showing displeasure on their faces.
Ye Ling couldn't be bothered with this crowd of useless people and walked into the Su family on his own.
In Master Su's room, he found Su Rou.
"Ah! Ye Ling, you're here?"
Su Rou, showing a pleased expression, hurriedly said.
The elder Master Su on the bed also showed a trace of excitement.
"Old Master, you rest well. I have something to discuss with Rou'er!"
Upon hearing this, old Master Su calmed down.
Then, Ye Ling told Su Rou about the trip to Gusu City the next day.
Su Rou was silent for a moment before she slowly said, "Grandpa, he..."
"Grandpa is fine. Since Ye Ling is inviting you to go along, you should go!"
Old Master Su interjected, then added, "Gusu has beautiful scenery; you can also take this chance to soothe your mind."
