Chapter: 2825
He was thinking about how he could sell the entire He family to the Su family. In return, he would get a lot of money and could run away to enjoy life. But that would mean using his family just to make money. Instead, he decided it would be better to find a way to keep the He family thriving for a few more years. If he could push the He family to become the top martial arts family in the nation, then he would die without regrets.
With this in mind, he turned to He Yingxiu and said, “Yingxiu, you are right. Our main goal is to help the He family rise higher and further! Since Master Ye has given us this amazing opportunity, he is our hope for the future of the He family!”
He Yingxiu quickly asked, “Dad, does this mean you agreed to work with Ye Shaoye?!”
He Hongsheng replied with confidence, “Master Ye gave us the divine pill, and I have already taken one. There’s no turning back now.”
He Yingxiu was thrilled. “That’s amazing! As long as we fully support Ye Shaoye, he can give us much more than just five divine pills and 100 million cash each year! I believe Master Ye can not only make the He family the best martial arts family in the country, but he can also help us become something even greater!”
He Hongsheng asked curiously, “Yingxiu, when you say we could become something greater than a martial arts family, what do you mean?”
He Yingxiu shook her head. “I’m not sure. I used to think martial arts masters were the strongest in hand-to-hand combat. But after meeting Master Ye yesterday, I realized we might just be at the beginning of something much bigger.”
He Hongsheng looked thoughtful and said, “We are like frogs at the bottom of a well, unaware of the vast world outside. What do you think about Master Ye’s strength?”
He Yingxiu replied honestly, “I can’t truly gauge Ye Shaoye’s strength.”
He Hongsheng pressed on, “Do you think Master Ye is stronger than us?”
He Yingxiu paused, remembering something her daughter, Su Ruoli, had shared with her. Su Ruoli had achieved great success in her practice not because of a special pill given by Charlie Wade. Instead, Charlie Wade had helped her by numbering her meridians and using his internal force to guide her through them. This allowed her to reach a level of mastery that most people could only dream of in their lifetime. For Charlie Wade, it was just a simple gesture, but it elevated Su Ruoli to an incredible height in her training.
She realized that the difference in strength might not be measured in levels alone. Looking at her father, she said seriously, “Dad, if I had to compare, it might be like the gap between the Monkey King and Buddha Tathagata. The Monkey King has amazing abilities, but he couldn’t escape from Buddha Tathagata, even in Wuzhishan. I believe the difference between us and Master Ye is similar.”
He Hongsheng was stunned by her words. His voice shook as he asked, “Is there really such a huge gap?”
He Yingxiu nodded firmly, saying, “Yes, Dad, I truly believe there is!”
He Yingxiu couldn’t help but ask, “If Young Master Ye is so talented, where does that leave us?”
She smiled sadly and continued, “Dad, I shouldn’t have been unclear. Master Ye isn’t trying to win over the He family this time.”
He Hongsheng was shocked. “What?! If it’s not to win us over, then what is it for?”
He Yingxiu thought about her beloved daughter, Su Ruoli, and felt a mix of emotions. “Actually, Young Master Ye helped save my daughter’s life. He feels sorry that she never got to meet my mother, so he reached out to invite us to Jinling. This reunion is all thanks to him looking out for us because of his care for my daughter.”
But she remembered that she had promised Charlie Wade not to share certain details with her daughter. So she sighed and said, “Dad, there are some things I can’t tell you because I promised Master Ye. Just know that he’s not asking for our help because he thinks highly of us. He’s really just trying to bring us some good fortune.”
