Xu Shan and Ye Kaiwu were playing chess and chatting in the tea house.
In a short while, Xu Shan had lost three times.
"Old Ye, we can't play anymore. This is too much!" Xu Shan sighed, defeated.
"Losing is not an option!"
Ye Kaiwu's expression was calm as he said, "I can tell you have something on your mind today!"
"If your heart isn't in it, how can you possibly win?"
Xu Shan felt a little embarrassed. "You saw right through me!"
Ye Kaiwu pointed to his eyes. "To be honest, even though I'm old, these eyes are very bright. They are like fiery golden eyes!"
Xu Shan gave a dry laugh. "Yes, fiery golden eyes!"
Ye Kaiwu waved his hand. "Tell me, what's been bothering you lately?"
Xu Shan replied, "It's still about Xu Long being crippled!"
"To be honest, this matter weighs on my heart like a mountain!"
"Moreover, if this resentment isn't released, the Xu family will never be able to hold their heads up and will become a laughingstock in the eyes of others!"
Ye Kaiwu understood his meaning.
Ye Kaiwu said directly, "Just tell me what else you need me to do!"
Xu Shan shook his head. "You've already helped me so much, how can I trouble you again? Let's just forget it! I'm just venting now!"
Ye Kaiwu smiled knowingly. "What you're thinking, I know it clearly. Since you've spoken, let's resolve it!"
"Should I send someone to cripple that culprit for you?"
In his opinion, crippling a martial artist in the martial arts world was a trivial matter for a family.
Hearing this, a brilliant smile flashed across Xu Shan's face, but he quickly shook his head. "Old Ye, I think it's best to let this matter go."
"That fellow, at such a young age, has the ability to cripple Xu Long. Who knows what great clan is backing him? Let's just forget it."
These words successfully piqued Ye Kaiwu's curiosity.
"Hmph, a great clan, how great can it be?"
"My Ye family is also a great clan. Looking at the entire Lingnan region, isn't our Ye family seated in the foremost position?" Ye Kaiwu said gravely.
"Although that's true, but..."
Ye Kaiwu interrupted again. "Enough, no need to say more. Give me this person's information, and I will send someone from the Ye family to meet him!"
"Old Ye, he is a young master of the Hua Jing realm!" Xu Shan stated.
Ye Kaiwu found it even more interesting now and nodded. "Alright, I understand!"
"I will get involved in the Xu family's matter!"
Xu Shan finally heard the words he was waiting for, and he was somewhat excited.
However, he managed to suppress his emotions.
"Old Ye, I..."
"It's fine, you don't need to feel awkward about it. This is the Ye family's debt to you!" Ye Kaiwu waved his hand. He was a true martial artist, and he understood loyalty and obligation, which was why he was willing to help Xu Shan.
Seeing that Old Master Ye had said so, Xu Shan nodded and didn't say anything more. If he continued to be long-winded, it would show his lack of worldly wisdom.
"After you've unburdened yourself, shall we play a few more rounds?" Ye Kaiwu asked with a smile, adding, "For that matter, I still want to play with you!"
Xu Shan was somewhat overwhelmed with surprise and nodded. "Certainly, Old Ye!"
"No need to be polite!"
Just as the two were about to start playing, Xu Shan's phone rang.
Seeing this, Xu Shan hung up.
Ye Kaiwu said, "Answer your phone if there's something. I'm not in a hurry!"
Xu Shan nodded politely, then went outside to answer Xu Lili's call.
In a moment, sobs could be heard from the earpiece, her cries choked and stammering.
"Grandpa..."
