I asked you to go down the mountain and get married, not to shock the world!

Mingchuan raised his eyebrows and opened his eyes slightly, which were originally closed. He saw a figure outside wandering for a long time, still hesitating whether to come in.

He cleared his throat and said, "Master Yu, there's no one else here, so you can come in if you want."

Yu Jingguo, who was outside the door, was startled and opened his eyes to look at Mingchuan inside.

He was clearly facing away from her, yet he could actually sense her presence!

After pondering for a while, he took a step forward, pushed open the heavy door and entered.

"Haha, it's true that the disciple surpasses the master. I'm afraid your father didn't have this much strength back then. You, kid, are even more powerful than him! You can even sense my presence."

Mingchuan smiled and said, "Thank you very much. You came here so late at night. Have you eaten yet? Why don't you sit down and have something to eat with us?"

Mingchuan said this, pointing to a pile of skewers that had just been delivered to him.

Yu Jingguo couldn't help but frown when he saw the greasy pork belly.

He shook his head and walked to Mingchuan. Seeing that the boy had no intention of giving him a comfortable seat, he looked around and then picked up a landscape stone at random. He raised his foot and kicked the small stone at his feet in that direction.

The small stone seemed to be infused with endless power, and flew out in the air with a whoosh, colliding with the big stone. Then, with Yu Jingguo's deliberate force, the landscape stone was knocked to his feet.

The landscape stone stopped steadily, and Yu Jingguo sat down without changing his expression.

Mingchuan snorted, "You're not bad either, you're still strong despite your age."

Yu Jingguo was stunned...

What?

What does Mingchuan say he is?

Getting stronger with old age?

There was a layer of dark clouds on Yu Jingguo's face, and his expression was so dark that it seemed as if water was about to drip out of it.

This kid has such a bad mouth. If he doesn’t know how to praise others, don’t praise them!

He sighed, shook his head helplessly, and took the initiative to start talking.

"Xiaochuan, since you've been waiting for me here for a long time, let's not mince words. I'll just state my purpose directly."

"I want you to help me get rid of the poison and help me break through."

Mingchuan raised his eyebrows: "Why should I help you?"

Yu Jingguo was startled. He looked at Mingchuan and said, "You waited for me specially. Didn't you come all this way just to help me?"

"No, uncle, I'm just here to eat some kebabs. How can I be considered to be waiting for you? You asked me to treat your illness but you didn't pay me accordingly. Aren't you being a little too much?"

Yu Jingguo: ...

He was extremely helpless. "What do you need? Just tell me."

Mingchuan curled his lips and said, "I want a lot, I'm afraid you can't afford it."

"Let me tell you first, Uncle Yu, I'm not short of money."

"It's not about the money."

Yu Jingguo's heart trembled.

What does this child mean?

It's not about money, could it be that he wants to use the people and power in his hands?

Yu Jingguo frowned and said, "Just tell me what you want. I will do my best to satisfy you."

"Okay, I'll tell you straight away."

"The poison in your body is not ordinary. Most people cannot detect it. It is the impurities that have accumulated during your practice."

"From some tiny impurities, they gradually transform into toxins that can clog your tendons and veins, preventing you from moving."

"You can't force these poisons out of your body by yourself. The only way is to find someone who practices the same martial arts to help you."

"Basically, if you can detect the root cause of the virus and find the right person, it will take at least three years to completely eliminate the poison."

"Three years!" Yu Jingguo raised his voice.

If he stagnated for three years, the entire capital would be in chaos. Some people might just take advantage of his weakness and kill him.

Yu Jingguo said with a trembling voice: "Is there no other faster way?"

"Yes, of course."

"What is it?"

"Well, just find someone with more powerful skills than you to help you, and you will get twice the result with half the effort." Mingchuan said casually while taking a bite of the skewer of meat.

Yu Jingguo was stunned. "What you mean by this is that you want me to find you?"

Mingchuan nodded: "Yes, you are quite smart."

He frowned and said, "I came here to find you, so don't keep me in suspense. Hurry up and tell me clearly what I need so that you can help me directly!"

Mingchuan put down the skewers in his hand, sat up straight, tilted his upper body slightly, and moved closer to Yu Jingguo.

"I want you to be my partner."

Yu Jingguo:?

Mingchuan smiled and said, "Don't tell me you're on my side. I know all of your motives, and I know them very clearly."

"Master Yu, what I want is your complete submission to me."

"Also, to be honest, if the poison in your body isn't cured quickly, it won't just be a matter of being unable to practice. It will completely destroy your skills, halve your lifespan, and turn you into a useless person."

"You should have felt the difference in your body recently, right?"

"Give me three months. Just three months, and I can solve all your problems."

Yu Jingguo looked at the shrewd expression on Mingchuan's face and narrowed his eyes. "You want me to completely submit to you?"

He actually said surrender!

This kid... is so ambitious!

He sneered: "No."

Mingchuan once again put forward a new condition: "I know you have been observing me recently, isn't it just to see how strong I am? I can tell you directly, even if you are one hundred times stronger than me, you will never be my opponent."

"I'm already giving you a lot of face by being able to sit down and talk with you calmly. If you refuse to accept it, I do know a little bit of martial arts."

Yu Jingguo stood up suddenly: "Boy, how dare you threaten me!"

Mingchuan clasped his hands behind his head and leaned back leisurely. "It's just a threat, so what? What can you do to me? You came here alone today. I have a hundred ways to prevent you from leaving here."

"But, of course, I'm not that heartless person."

"Master Yu, if you agree to cooperate with me, I can lend you a helping hand, allowing you to recover your original strength and make you even stronger."

Mingchuan's eyes were full of confidence.

For a moment, Yu Jingguo was a little dazed.

This kid... can he be trusted?

But his movements during the day were certainly not what an ordinary person would do, and his skills seemed to be truly superior to his own.

Yu Jingguo was silent for a while.

"You have to let me think about this. Give me three days."

"Okay. Just three days!"

Mingchuan agreed immediately, "However, if you still haven't figured it out after three days, you can't blame me for using some tough measures."

"Also, I can give you a pill tonight to relieve the pain in your body."
