Good martial arts in the city, many children, many blessings

Bai Jie laughed and said, "You said you came to offer your congratulations, but you came empty-handed. Does the daughter of the Wu family have no manners at all?"

"So you're asking for money as a gift!" Sun Yu sneered. "Looks like you, Bai Jie, aren't doing so well following Liu Yanran."

"Are you desperate for money? You dare to ask for such a small amount?"

Bai Jie was about to retort when Wu Xue, already impatient, coldly waved her hand and said:

"Yu Yu, give her 200,000 each, transfer 1 million to her as a congratulatory gift, and I'll give it to you later."

Although Wu Xue was speaking to Bai Jie, her gaze remained fixed on Liu Yanran.

Sun Yu pouted indignantly and muttered under her breath, "With the kind of feast her family is putting on, there's no need for 200,000 per person."

Bai Jie deftly displayed the transfer code, smiling and flattering, "Sister Wu, how generous!"

[Bai Yu Wuxia transferred one million Federal Credits to the ruthless Teacher Bai!]

It wasn't until the sound of the money arriving in her account that Liu Yanran seemed to realize what was happening.

"Oh dear, I'm so embarrassed. We're old classmates, and it would be disrespectful for me not to accept this."

Liu Yanran smiled and turned to look at Tian Xi and the other girls beside her, whose expressions were strange.

"Distinguished guests have arrived! Go and ask Xunhuan to bring Niuniu over so she can greet the aunties and uncles!"

Greetings?

I'm afraid it requires a formality!

Qiao Yuerong looked at the group of people whose lips were twitching, and excitedly snatched the task away.

"Oh my god! Meimei is up there too, should we call her down together?"

Sun Yu thought to herself, "What the hell, are you never going to stop?!"

"Um!"

……

"The training area on the first floor is so small. Won't there be conflicts if beginner and intermediate students train together on the same day?"

"Won't!"

Seeing that Liu Yanran didn't speak, Wu Xue turned to look at Sun Yu.

The latter skillfully pulled out a wad of banknotes from her bag and handed it to Pang Yuanyuan, who was beaming with joy.

"Thank you, thank you!"

Feeling indebted to Liu Yanran for accepting the gift, she then explained, "There are no intermediate students in the gym, so there's no question of training conflicts."

Wu Xue nodded and walked to the second floor. After looking around, she said, "Isn't there a virtual combat pod set up in the Rose Martial Arts Hall? Then what about team training...?"

"Meimei, hurry up! A silly young lady came into the store and started collecting gold coins!"

Qiao Yuerong spoke excitedly and loudly, her voice clearly audible even through the doors and windows.

"If you're too late, you won't be able to get one!"

Turning around, the two women on the second-floor corner made an awkward eye contact with everyone.

Wu Xue gave Sun Yu a look, and Sun Yu looked at her with disdain, as if to say, "People from small places really have no taste."

"Just these two, where's the last one?"

Sun Yu tossed two stacks of new banknotes, still smelling of ink, over with one hand, and sneered, "There's never a question of 'too late' when it comes to the Wu family's eldest daughter's gold coins."

Envious, Qiao Yuerong quickly stepped forward to take it, stuffing one hand into the arms of the flustered Yu Meimei, and pulling her to bow with the other.

"Thank you, Miss Wu!"

Bai Jie looked up at Liu Yanran with an embarrassed expression, her eyes full of worry.

Liu Yanran remained indifferent, simply nodding to Wu Xue and saying, "No money, just real combat!"

It was concise yet effectively addressed Wu Xue's question.

Bai Jie coughed lightly and asked, "Miss Wu, now that we've seen everything, strolled around, and asked everything, what do you think...?"

"For sale?"

"What?"

Wu Xue's voice was calm, but to everyone present, it sounded as loud as a bell.

But what surprised everyone even more was that Liu Yanran said without changing her expression, "This is the business I'm preparing for my retirement."

Surprisingly, she didn't refuse.

A hint of surprise flashed in Wu Xue's eyes, a mocking smile appeared on Tong Ruochu's lips, and Sun Yu and the other two were full of condescending disdain.

Bai Jie's face was filled with disbelief, as if she didn't recognize Liu Yanran at all.

Qiao Yuerong and Yu Meimei looked surprised. Pang Yuanyuan frowned slightly, quickly exchanged a glance with Tian Xi, who shook her head.

"Of course, we're all old classmates, so the price is negotiable."

Wu Xue snapped her fingers, "Snap!"

Jiang Chengxu immediately took out a stack of black and white IOUs from his briefcase and handed them over.

"I had someone investigate, and Rose Martial Arts Academy has a total debt of 30 million."

Wu Xue pointed and said, "These are all the IOUs and debts; I've collected them all."

Liu Yanran glanced down at it, but didn't reach out to take it. Instead, she shrugged.

"Given the Wu family's status in Suzhou City, I'm not surprised they could do this."

Wu Xue nodded, took the five checks from Sun Yu, and together with the IOU in Jiang Chengxu's hand, handed them back to Liu Yanran.

"The 20 million in cash didn't come from the Wu family's official account; it was a private sum we pooled together to invest in Rose Martial Arts Academy, giving us a 60% stake."

Liu Yanran blinked, lowered her head and remained silent for a while, but still did not reach out to take it.

"Fifty million isn't enough!"

Wu Xue's smile slowly faded, and with a flick of her wrist, she slammed the check to the ground with a "thud".

Then, he looked coldly at Liu Yanran, whose expression remained calm, and said, pausing between each sentence.

"You know the price of refusing me!"

"certainly!"

Liu Yanran smiled and said, "Haven't I already paid the price?"

"I didn't want it to be like this from the beginning."

"But this is the result!"

Frustrated, Wu Xue turned around and walked up to Jiang Chengxu, slapping him across the face.

"Snapped!"

"idiot!"

In front of everyone, Jiang Chengxu not only did not resist, but instead had an expression of enjoyment on his face.

"Snapped!"

"Who gave you permission to make that decision on your own back then?"

"Snapped!"

"waste!"

After her anger subsided, Wu Xue turned around and walked back, her expression now calm.

"Liu Yanran, my patience is running out."

Wu Xue took out a translucent five-colored treasure box from her bosom, a hint of regret flashing in her eyes.

"The Five Organs Pill, priced at fifty million, is an ancient pill formula inherited from the Star Beast Continent, refined in a vacuum medical laboratory at a temperature of 100,000 degrees Celsius."

"Neither the Federation nor the Martial Alliance has been able to mass-produce them to this day. Even when they occasionally leak out, they cause Martial Saint-level experts to scramble for them."

"Each pill requires at least a rare herb that has been used for hundreds or thousands of years to make. Although this pill is of inferior quality, it is still enough to heal your old injuries within ten years."

Wu Xue said solemnly, "Liu Yanran, do you understand my sincerity towards you?!"

"Sincere, hehehe..."

Liu Yanran smiled until tears welled up in her eyes, her expression a complex mix of emotions that no one could guess at the moment.

Wu Xue stepped forward and placed the vacuum box containing the Five Internal Organs Pill into Liu Yanran's palm.

"Haven't you always wanted to resume your martial arts training? Now the opportunity is right in front of you, why don't you seize it? What are you waiting for?"

"Yes, a spiritual object capable of restoring a martial artist's internal organs is incredibly rare and precious!"

Liu Yanran's eyes reflected the five-colored pupils, and she suddenly laughed, "Then, what's the price?"

Wu Xue suddenly fell silent and said, "This item is invaluable; I should repay it with the rest of my life!"

"Hahaha~!"

Liu Yanran laughed loudly, "I originally thought you came here just to try and trick me out of something..."

Liu Yanran pointed to Pang Yuanyuan and the other three women and said, "A method to cultivate a group of mediocre talents into martial arts prodigies."

"I never imagined that I was so naive after all."

"What method can be better than a living creator than one that can be updated and replaced by future generations?"

"Yes, yes."

"Ten years later, even if Liu Yanran, at thirty-six, is still unwilling to admit defeat and refuses to accept her fate..."

"Her declining vital energy and spirit will completely eliminate any possibility of her turning the tide."

"Excellent, excellent, what a brilliant plan!"

"A stack of debts, a substandard pill, and a negligible sum of twenty million in cash—you think you can trick me into signing this indenture?"

"In one deal, your Wu family gained a method to greatly increase your power, Wu Xue'er gained a completely submissive female dog, and what about me?"

Liu Yanran appeared to be acting mad, as if she wanted to vent all the bitterness in her heart.

"Three years and ten months to receive eight days' pay!"

"It was you, Wu Xue'er, who led the team and personally ruined my future in martial arts during the wilderness trial."

"Now, where do you all get the audacity to put on this condescending, savior-like face before me, as if bestowing charity upon me?"

"Pah!"

"Wu Xue'er, I'm not afraid to tell you, even if I die, you can forget about getting anything from me again."

Liu Yanran suddenly looked enlightened and said, "Oh, right, back then you didn't dare to kill me within the surveillance scope of the Martial Alliance and the Martial School."

"Now, do you dare kill me in downtown Suzhou?"

"Oh, you wouldn't dare!"

Wu Xue waited quietly until Liu Yanran finished her madness, then coldly snatched the Five Internal Organs Pill, her tone as icy as a February wind.

"Nothing will change!"
