At this moment, Chen Yiyi's door was knocked, accompanied by the voice of Chen Cangyu: "Yiyi, it's me, your brother. Can I come in?"

Chen Yiyi quickly hid the medicine packet in the cabinet, then immediately went to the door and opened it. Sure enough, it was Chen Cangyu standing outside.

"Brother, are you okay!" Chen Yiyi saw Chen Cangyu safe and sound, and the heavy weight she had been carrying finally eased.

Seeing Chen Yiyi with tears on her face, Chen Cangyu looked concerned and said, "I'm fine. I was worried about you. Don't take Ye Xiao's words to heart. One day, I'll definitely kill him."

Chen Yiyi shook her head and said, "Brother, I didn't care about that as long as you're okay. Grandpa and Father are very worried about you."

"I know, they're not worried about me, they're worried I haven't continued the Chen family's lineage yet. Ha, who cares about that? By the way, don't mind what they said today, they only said it to deal with Ye Xiao. They won't really give you to him. Haha, why are you still crying? You won't look pretty if you keep crying." Chen Cangyu laughed as he wiped Chen Yiyi's tears.

Chen Yiyi looked at Chen Cangyu. She really wanted to tell her brother about what Chen Maocai and Chen Zeming said. She knew if she told her brother Chen Cangyu, he would stand up for her. But, is it really necessary? If she told Chen Cangyu, would it really not harm him?

In Chen Yiyi's heart, this half-brother was her only family.

To not make it difficult for her brother, Chen Yiyi decided to keep the pain in her heart. Perhaps, as Grandpa and Father said, as a member of the Chen family, one must be prepared to make sacrifices, even if it means sacrificing one's own body.

Thinking of this, Chen Yiyi couldn't help but shed tears again.

Chen Cangyu had no idea about the magnitude of the situation, he only thought that Chen Yiyi was frightened.

"Yiyi, don't cry. Your brother will definitely make Ye Xiao come and apologize to you." Chen Cangyu sneered, but then said: "It's a pity, Ye Xiao is indeed quite powerful. Ah, if only Ye Xiao could be affected by the Soft Muscle Powder, then capturing him would be a piece of cake."

Hearing Chen Cangyu mention the Soft Muscle Powder, Chen Yiyi was taken aback. Wasn't that medicine packet the Soft Muscle Powder?

"Brother, what is Soft Muscle Powder?" Chen Yiyi had already been warned by Chen Zeming, so she could only pretend not to know.

"Soft Muscle Powder?" Chen Cangyu laughed and said, "Even if I told you, you wouldn't understand. It's a poison for dealing with martial artists. Though poisoning is a lowly act, since he upset you, I don't care if others call me despicable."

Chen Cangyu was a proud person, never one to use underhanded methods. However, for Chen Yiyi, his only sister, he would do anything, even if it meant being condemned by all.

"Poisoning?" Chen Yiyi asked again, "Are martial artists also afraid of poison?"

"Of course they're afraid. The poison I talk about is not ordinary poison. Our Chen family has the Soft Muscle Powder. As long as the martial artist hasn't reached Earth Rank, once they take Soft Muscle Powder, they're doomed." Chen Cangyu said, with a self-deprecating smile: "I never thought I'd stoop to poisoning people. How pathetic."

Hearing Chen Cangyu's words again reaffirmed to Chen Yiyi that this Soft Muscle Powder was indeed a deadly poison, making her even more hesitant.

"Isn't there an exception? Isn't it said that many martial artists are immune to all poisons?" Chen Yiyi asked.

Chen Cangyu said, "The reason is because they are immune to ordinary poisons. However, the poisons specifically for martial artists, once encountered, are very deadly. Take Soft Muscle Powder, for example. If a martial artist below Earth Rank takes it, they can't use Inner Power True Qi for 24 hours, making them a regular person during that time. The only limitation is that it only works on martial artists below Earth Rank."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yiyi seemed to find a breakthrough and looked at Chen Cangyu in surprise, "Brother, why does it only work on those below Earth Rank?"

"Poisons for martial artists are graded. You should know that martial artists are ranked from strong to weak as Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Yellow, four levels. Poisons correspond to these four levels, forming seven grades. First-level and second-level poisons only work on Yellow Rank, while third-level and fourth-level ones can affect those below Earth Rank. Of course, they're ineffective on Earth Rank. Unfortunately, this Soft Muscle Powder is a fourth-level poison. So, as long as they're a Yellow Rank or Xuan Rank martial artist, no matter how high their cultivation, they will fall victim. But if the user has reached Earth Rank, even if they've just stepped into it, the poison is completely ineffective. The poison is as rigorously classified as martial artist levels." Chen Cangyu explained seriously. But then suddenly smiled and said to Chen Yiyi: "Yiyi, do you really understand?"

"No, I don't understand!" Chen Yiyi immediately responded.

"No wonder, Chen family women aren't allowed to practice martial arts, but that's good. It saves a lot of trouble." Chen Cangyu said with a smile to Chen Yiyi: "I still need to see Grandpa and Father, otherwise they'll think I haven't returned."

"Brother hasn't seen Grandpa and Father yet?" Chen Yiyi said in surprise.

"Haha, no, I was worried about you." Chen Cangyu replied.

Chen Yiyi immediately felt a strong sense of family connection. This is what it means to be family, connected by blood. In this cold family, Chen Yiyi could only find a touch of familial comfort from Chen Cangyu.

After chatting a bit with Chen Yiyi, Chen Cangyu immediately left to see Chen Maocai.

After sending Chen Cangyu off, Chen Yiyi returned to her seat once again. It turned out that the Soft Muscle Powder was ineffective on Earth Rank Martial Artists. However, what level of martial artist was Ye Xiao? Chen Yiyi knew nothing about this, so her worries were far from over.

At the same time, our friend Ye Xiao had also returned to Dongning Building. He wasn't feeling relieved at the moment; he originally thought he could easily deal with the Zhao family. However, unexpectedly, the Zhao family, the Chen family, and Liuyue were actually in cahoots. Although Zhao family and Chen family may not necessarily act against him directly, what about Liuyue? He would come back again, and who knew what would happen then. Moreover, if Zhao Guangyi and Chen Maocai, those two old men, suddenly took action, it would be extremely unfavorable for him.

Thinking it over, Ye Xiao suddenly realized that making too many enemies really was quite helpless.

However, when he arrived at the entrance of Dongning Building, he found that it was only four-thirty.

The company hadn't finished work yet, and Xia Mingyue hadn't called him. It seemed the matter of the contract hadn't begun yet.

Should he go to the company now? Ye Xiao thought for a moment, suddenly slapped his forehead, and smiled to himself. Then, he waved his hand and hailed another taxi.

A property in Jinling District.

These past few days, Zheng Lingshan felt like something was missing in her life. Although the apartments here were selling well and her commission in the past few days had exceeded two thousand, she just couldn't work up any enthusiasm.

"Shanshan, your business skills are getting better and better. You've already sold two apartments today, haven't you?" A sweet-looking girl handed a cup of green tea to Zheng Lingshan.

Zheng Lingshan smiled slightly and thanked her, then said, "It's all because you sisters let them go to me. Otherwise, how could I have sold so many?"

"Haha, Shanshan, you really know how to talk. Since it's like that, you have to treat us after work."

Zheng Lingshan laughed and said, "No problem at all."

"These past days, our supervisor hasn't been bothering you. Could he have set his eyes on other girls?" the girl joked with a laugh to Zheng Lingshan.

Zheng Lingshan suddenly felt a bit embarrassed, saying, "Maybe."

"A beauty like you, it's really puzzling that he hasn't made any moves."

Listening to her colleague's words, Zheng Lingshan also gave a wry smile while feeling a sweet sensation in her heart.

The safety she had didn't come out of nowhere; last time, Ye Xiao had come here to help her out of a major crisis. If it weren't for Ye Xiao, Zheng Lingshan would really have had a hard time escaping her misfortune.

Thinking of this, Zheng Lingshan suddenly felt a sense of loss. Ever since that last time, she hadn't seen him again. Could it be that he had forgotten about her?

Zheng Lingshan suddenly felt as if she had developed a fondness for Ye Xiao. Yet, she considered herself not to be someone casual, so how could she have such feelings for Ye Xiao?

"Hello, may I ask how much of a discount is available on your properties here?" A gentle voice interrupted Zheng Lingshan during her conversation.

The girl who was talking with Zheng Lingshan looked at the speaker and said, "I'm sorry, there are no promotions right now, so there's no discount on the properties."

"Oh," the man replied, then smiled and asked, "If there's no discount on the properties, is there a discount on people?"

"Ah?" The girl immediately gave the man a puzzled look, not understanding what he meant by that.

Just then, Zheng Lingshan turned around to look at the man speaking. When her eyes clearly saw the man, her eyes suddenly lit up, and her heart started racing.

"Ye... Ye Xiao?" Zheng Lingshan looked at the man and said in surprise.

Who else could the man be but Ye Xiao? He had planned to visit Zheng Lingshan today; he really missed her after not seeing her for many days.

When the girl saw Zheng Lingshan calling out Ye Xiao's name, she finally understood and immediately laughed, saying, "So you are Ye Xiao?"

Ye Xiao smiled at Zheng Lingshan but addressed the girl, saying, "Am I that famous?"
