After leaving the small shop, Gu Ye looked around, identified the direction, and walked straight into the depths of the card-making material sales market.

Unlike the chaos outside, this place is brightly lit, with clean and wide streets, and rows of ornately decorated shops standing on both sides of the road with large gold lettering on their signs.

Some shops are even built in the air, giving them a high-tech feel.

This is the bustling area of ​​the card-making material sales market in Yunlin City, a card trading area truly run by prominent families.

As for forced buying and selling in bustling areas, that's even more impossible. Everyone knows that leeks need to be harvested in batches; if they were all pulled out at once, how could they achieve sustainable development?

Once inside the bustling area, the cards are not like those in the chaotic area outside, where nine out of ten cards are fake and one is practically a freebie. The materials in the bustling area have all undergone strict review by several major families before they can be entered, although no one knows how they review them.

Longshi Card Shop is a four-story traditional-style building.

Gu Ye looked up at the signboard. The Long family was a well-known seller of elemental card-making materials in Yunlin City. He came here to collect the four elements of earth, wind, water, and fire needed for the background of the bloodline card world.

As Gu Ye walked through the gate, a tense scene came into view.

"Long Yaqi, if you don't give us an explanation today, this isn't over!"

The speaker was a young boy, and opposite him was a girl who kept stretching out her foot, trying to kick him, but she was being held back by two women and couldn't move her foot.

"Xiao Qiu, Xiao Mei, let me go! Today I'm going to kick that shameless bastard Zhao Wuneng to death!"

"Ah~ Yaya!"

Long Yaqi was like a pig about to be slaughtered for the New Year; it took two women a lot of effort to barely hold her down.

"Is this how your Long family treats its guests?"

"And my name is Zhao Wuxiao," Zhao Wuxiao corrected him with a dark expression.

"You don't allow people to report inferior cards? Who's going to buy cards from you in the future?" Zhao Wuxiao waved the unknown card in his hand. Long Yaqi saw that the back of the card did indeed have the mark of Long's Card Shop.

Although only a few underlings echoed his words, once Zhao Wuxiao left, he could embellish the story further, which would still cause some damage to the reputation of the Long Clan Card Shop.

Gu Ye realized he had arrived at the wrong time and was about to leave, but someone didn't want to let him have his way.

"Young man, since you're here, why don't you go in and take a look?"

Xiao Mei, who was originally pulling Long Yaqi, suddenly let go. Under Xiao Qiu's resentful gaze, she ran to Gu Ye, grabbed his hand, and pulled him inside.

Gu Ye wanted to turn around and leave, but Xiao Mei used her cultivation, and he couldn't break free at all. He could only be pulled inside by her with a speechless expression.

Today, because of the conflict between Long Yaqi and Zhao Wuxiao, all the customers at Long's Card Shop ran away. At first, there were a few card masters who came to watch the commotion, but after they learned that it was a group of scions of powerful families, they didn't want to get involved and left one after another.

Gu Ye's arrival is like a savior to the two of them. They have daily performance targets to meet, and if they don't, they'll have their wages docked.

When Zhao Wuxiao saw Gu Ye come in, he became furious.

"Hey kid, who the hell are you? Did I let you in?"

Xiao Mei, who led him in, turned deathly pale instantly, realizing she was in trouble. Although she was a waitress at the Long Clan Trading Company, common card masters might give them face, but these scions of noble families wouldn't. If he wanted her to disappear, it would be very easy for him.

Upon hearing his words, Long Yaqi instantly bristled:

"Who do you think you are, Zhao Wuneng? You think he can just come and go as he pleases? This is my Long Clan Card Shop, not your Zhao family's run-down card shop. And what are you, a dog? You're just going to bite whoever you see."

She noticed Xiaomei's fear and turned to her, saying, "Xiaomei, don't be afraid. I've got your back. Let's see who dares to touch you."

Hearing Long Yaqi say this, Xiaomei's face regained a bit of color.

"Take this kid for a walk."

But Zhao Wuxiao wouldn't let them have their way. Today, he was there to cause trouble and prevent Longshi Card Shop from selling its newly acquired animal-themed card-making materials.

He stepped forward and slapped Gu Ye on the shoulder, arrogantly threatening, "Kid, if you know what's good for you, leave now, or I'll make sure you don't see the sun tomorrow."

To his surprise, Gu Ye pulled out his phone from his pocket, turned around, pointed it at him, grinned, revealing his white teeth, and said with a smile, "It seems that Young Master Zhao has checked the weather forecast for tomorrow. There will indeed be no sun tomorrow."

Looking at the weather forecast displayed on his phone, Zhao Wuxiao's forehead veins bulged. He felt Gu Ye's blatant provocation.

"How dare you, a lowly commoner!" he said.

Zhao Wuxiao suddenly attacked him, and Gu Ye felt a gust of wind blow past him before his fist was caught by a soft little hand.

Long Yaqi, who was a head shorter than Gu Ye, stood in front of him, a smirk playing on her lips, her tone undisguisedly sarcastic:

"Zhao Wuneng, you're just a Bronze Rank 4 card master, and you think you can hurt someone in front of me? Forget it! Unless your brother comes."

"you!!"

Zhao Wuxiao stared at Gu Ye standing behind him:

Is it comfortable standing behind a woman?

Gu Ye shrugged indifferently, then smiled and nodded. Zhao Wuxiao was furious when he saw his smile.

"Kid, I'll remember you. What's your name?"

Gu Ye looked at him like he was an idiot. Zhao Wuxiao clenched his fists, wanting to make another move, but after seeing Long Yaqi's eyes, he knew that if he made another move, he might really get a beating.

"He never changes his name or surname, and that is Li Jie."

Upon hearing Gu Ye announce his name, both Long Yaqi and Zhao Wuxiao looked at him with strange expressions.

Gu Ye noticed that the two looked off, and Long Yaqi secretly told him:

"The Li Jie you mentioned is the son of the head of the Li family, which belongs to the four minor families of Yunlin, just like my Long family. Most families in Yunlin City know that we are acquainted with him."

"Uh~" Gu Ye was a little embarrassed for a moment.

"Forget it, forget it, you're not worthy to know my name."

After saying that, he turned to Xiaomei beside him and said:

"Let's go! I'm here to buy pure elemental card-making materials."

Long Yaqi also gestured to her, and Xiaomei then left with Gu Ye.

Zhao Wuxiao could only stand there, helplessly watching Gu Ye leave his sight, perhaps blinded by anger.

He and a few of his underlings angrily wanted to leave the card shop. Long Yaqi was also confused by his actions, after all, the matter had not yet been resolved.

"Zhao Wuneng, stop right there! Put down the cards in your hand. I want to see if they are the card-making materials sold by my Long's Card Shop."

Before Zhao Wuxiao could react, Long Yaqi quickly approached him, grabbed him by the back of his collar, and threw him back into the bank.

Zhao Wuxiao looked at her in horror: "Long Yaqi, how dare you lay a hand on me?"

"I think what my sister said makes a lot of sense."

"If words can't solve the problem, then let's use our fists."

Long Yaqi walked up to him, and Zhao Wuxiao hurriedly shouted, "You guys, why aren't you stopping him?"

His henchmen, though terrified by Long Yaqi's violence, had no choice but to join in.

"Ah~ Let's go!"

"Bang!"

"Bang bang~"

The group was only at the first level of Bronze, no match for Long Yaqi. She looked at Zhao Wuxiao lying on the ground and punched him directly in the eye. His right eye turned black at a visible speed.

"Aww~"

Long Yaqi took the card from his hand, turned it over, and saw a three-character symbol with a club shape written on it. The card was clearly just an ordinary playing card.

Long Yaqi's forehead was covered in black lines, her eyes were downcast, then she smiled and said sarcastically:

"So it's just a nobody!"

Zhao Wuxiao covered his eyes, wanting to say something, but Long Yaqi shouted "Get out!" and his underlings quickly carried him out of the card shop.

"Investigate who that kid is! Don't think I can't find out just because he's wearing a disguise!"
