The iron railings twisted and deformed instantly, smashed beyond recognition by his impact. He himself was in pain, but he jumped up as if nothing had happened. There were only a few red marks and a clear palm print on his body, and he didn't seem to have suffered any serious injuries.
After leaping up, Simba was immediately enraged. The top fighter in Xinjiang, who always defeated his enemies with a single move, felt extremely humiliated. His eyes turned red, and he charged forward like an angry wild bull.
"Hey! Prince Yu, if you don't show yourself soon, don't blame me for being unruly and injuring your bodyguard!" Li Yang adopted a stance, his feet in the Bagua stance, his palms seemingly sealing and closing, his aura as deep and imposing as a mountain, his eyes gleaming, looking as if he was about to unleash his true skills and start a massacre at any moment.
"Hahaha... Indeed, heroes have emerged from among the young since ancient times! To reshuffle the entire Jiangdong City underworld and dare to oppose the country's number one jewelry tycoon is truly extraordinary! I've broadened my horizons!" Sure enough, a middle-aged man emerged from the small room where Yu Tihu had just rushed out. He had an extraordinary bearing, dressed in ethnic clothing, looking clean and refreshing. He naturally exuded the aura of a superior. Even though he knew that Li Yang was a super expert who could send him to his death with a single move, he still walked to Li Yang's side with ease and a calm expression.
Indeed extraordinary! He could do it so easily, but Yu Tihu and Simba dared not. Yu Tihu grabbed Yu Wangye's arm, while Simba nervously stood in front, staring at Li Yang with predatory eyes.
They were afraid that Li Yang would suddenly cause trouble and hurt Prince Yu.
Chapter 400: Getting Closer
Indeed extraordinary! He could do it so easily, but Yu Tihu and Simba dared not. Yu Tihu grabbed Yu Wangye's arm, while Simba nervously stood in front, staring at Li Yang with predatory eyes.
They were afraid that Li Yang would suddenly cause trouble and hurt Prince Yu.
"Hahaha... No need to be so nervous. He's here to discuss cooperation. We don't need to welcome him with a shotgun. Tihu, go and have the servants prepare the most sumptuous food and wine. I want to have a drink with this young hero!" Yu Tihu smiled as he looked at Li Yang. As the number one raw material merchant in the country, the Yu family had been entrenched in Xinjiang for hundreds of years and engaged in extremely profitable businesses. His wealth was unimaginable, and only he himself knew how powerful the forces behind him were.
For such a large family, an intelligence organization is something that absolutely requires a lot of money to maintain, so his understanding of Li Yang can be described as profound.
With just a word from him, all of Li Yang's intelligence was already laid out on his bedside table. This man's sudden meteoric rise—his solo fight against the Black Ghost, his revenge for Song Qin, his development of his own power, his recruitment and training of the Thirteen Protectors, his takeover of the Dafa Casino and Feiyang Bar, and ultimately, the establishment of the Bagua Sect—all of these impressed him, but still didn't warrant his full attention.
Even after he accompanied Xue Tao to conquer the Pingzhou jade gambling market and then crippled Zhu Changfa's bodyguard, he still managed to live on as if nothing had happened. Based on his decades of experience working with Zhu Youchen's Brilliant Years, he certainly knew how formidable Cheng Hua was. Even his apprentice, Wu Tian, was an extremely powerful figure, even more troublesome than Simba.
He was actually defeated by Li Yang, and afterwards Cheng Hua seemed to have visited Jiangdong City, only to leave in a sorry state.
What exactly happened remains unknown to his intelligence personnel. Furthermore, although he can deduce from experience and intelligence that Li Yang's lineage is Bagua Willow Leaf Cotton Silk Palm, he still cannot find out who Li Yang's master actually is.
If he knew that Li Yang's master was the disciple of Lu Chen, the second-ranked expert on the world's Dragon Ranking, he would probably jump up with a shout.
The world's top leader of the Hongmen is not someone a mere Prince Yu can afford to offend! Of course, he doesn't know that yet. But with the information above, it's enough for him to take Li Yang seriously.
Although he only learned some of this information after the jade bracelet successfully gambled on the stone, and only after he sent people to investigate.
Of course, as someone who collects jade, although he admires Li Yang's achievements in the underworld and might occasionally make acquaintances with him when he visits Jiangdong City, he would never take him seriously.
After all, they had no connection. But after Li Yang helped Ou Jinliren officially clash with Brilliant Years, he had to take this matter and this person seriously.
This might be a sign of a major earthquake in the domestic jewelry industry, the rise of a new king who will reshape the industry.
How could he not value it? New talents emerge in every generation, each reigning supreme for centuries. His brilliant years had been glorious for so many years; it's not surprising that they collapsed overnight.
That's why he agreed to meet them so readily, why Yu Zhuo treated them so seriously, and why he put so much effort into testing Li Yang.
He was very satisfied with the result of the test.
"This must be Miss Song Tian'er from Oujin Beauty Company?" Prince Yu said with a smile, admiring the bright and beautiful Song Tian'er.
"Your Highness, I am Song Tian'er. It's a pleasure to meet you. I've long admired you!" Song Tian'er smiled sweetly and reached out to shake hands with Your Highness.
"Haha... Thank you, but what do I, an old man from a remote area, have to admire?" Prince Yu said very modestly.
"You are a legendary figure in the domestic jade industry!" Song Tian'er said admiringly.
Li Yang was extremely annoyed. He rubbed his chest, which was still burning from Song Tian'er's bite. Damn it, all she did was express surprise when she saw that she was a white tiger! She reacted so strongly, biting his chest so badly that the flesh almost fell off. Is she a dog?
As expected of a White Tiger, it is indeed ferocious! However, the plum blossoms in full bloom were exceptionally clear and vibrant, which thrilled Li Yang. Although he already knew it was a White Tiger, he was still astonished when it was truly presented before his eyes.
If Prince Yu knew how hot this girl was, I wonder what he would think!
"Hahaha... those are all rumors. I'm just a merchant who sells raw jade and mines jade! Don't be arrogant!" The Jade Prince said humbly, without any airs.
Seemingly forgetting about Li Yang and the jade bracelet, Li Yang followed along dejectedly, while the jade bracelet cautiously accompanied him.
"Come, Li Yang, let's get to know each other better. Seeing you feels like seeing my nephew. It seems we really hit it off!" Prince Yu suddenly pulled Li Yang's hand and said affectionately.
Li Yang was annoyed. "Damn it, am I your junior? This old man is taking advantage of me, isn't he?"
However, given Prince Yu's status and age, calling him an elder is not presumptuous.
Simba glared at Li Yang, still tense and dissatisfied. Li Yang glared back, thinking, "Damn, trying to outdo me with eye size? I've never been afraid of anyone!"
“Uncle, Yuzhuo and I are like brothers, so you are naturally my elder!” Li Yang said very politely, showing no lack of manners.
"Hahaha...Good, I like young people like you, full of energy!" Prince Yu laughed heartily, appearing to be in a very good mood.
Yu Tihu pouted her rosy lips, looking disdainful, clearly believing that Li Yang was deliberately trying to get close to her.
Li Yang pretended to be blind and didn't see it, but Song Tian'er was unhappy. It turned out that she and Li Yang were just ambiguous and their relationship was a bit unclear. She still couldn't let go of her feelings for him. But since what happened last night, she had opened her heart and considered herself Li Yang's woman. She couldn't tolerate this woman treating Li Yang like this, so she glared at Yu Tihu fiercely.
Yu Tihu, the eldest daughter of the dignified Prince Yu, is a figure who can walk sideways and run naked without anyone daring to fart in the entire Xinjiang region. When has she ever been provoked like this?
Her eyebrows shot up immediately, and she met Song Tian'er's gaze defiantly. If it weren't for her father, Prince Yu, valuing the two of them so much, she would have already had them bound and tortured severely, making them wish they were dead and beg for mercy on their knees, to see if they would dare to provoke her again!
Li Yang was well aware of the rivalry between the two women, but he simply pretended not to see it. Yu Tihu was not someone to be trifled with, and Song Tian'er was standing up for him, so he couldn't dampen her enthusiasm.
He glanced at Prince Yu and saw that the old man was also watching coldly, smiling and looking like he was enjoying the show. Damn, this old man is indeed not honest.
Jade Bracelet followed behind. Although he also felt that things were a bit strange, he, being the lowest in status, dared not utter a single word!
Chapter 401: The Ant Bit Me
Jade Bracelet followed behind. Although he also felt that things were a bit strange, he, being the lowest in status, dared not utter a single word!
"Your Highness's manor is truly magnificent! It's so enviable!" Li Yang said, trying to make conversation.
"Hehe... How about I give you one?" Prince Yu joked.
