Chapter 12 Master Duel_1

"Yes!"

Wei Shen was excited. The Miss's words clearly granted her consent.

He immediately turned and went downstairs to the front door!

"Elder Wei, hello!"

Zhou Yuan greeted him politely. Although the man before him had a deep misunderstanding about him, he was, after all, an elder respected by Chu Ran, and Zhou Yuan certainly couldn't be rude.

"Elder Wei is also what you can call me?"

Wei Shen didn't give a good face, and his tone was extraordinarily harsh!

"Uh..."

Zhou Yuan's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Mr. Wei, I would like to see Miss Chu, and I hope you can announce my arrival."

Wei Shen said contemptuously, "You want to see our Miss? That's not impossible, but the premise is that you have the strength to take one of my moves!"

Towards Zhou Yuan, he held too much dissatisfaction in his heart.

Although the Miss's smiles had become more frequent, what worried him was that Zhou Yuan's approach to the Miss must have ulterior motives.

A few gatekeepers laughed. Wei Shen's words were basically like issuing an eviction notice.

After all, the pretty boy before them could barely withstand one of their punches, not to mention one move from Wei Shen?

"Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Zhou Yuan's expression was solemn. He could see that Wei Shen was very strong, far from being comparable to the likes of Flying Tiger, but now, with his Qi Cultivation at the second level, he truly wasn't afraid.

He didn't want to fight, merely to avoid embarrassing Chu Ran.

"If you haven't got the courage then, let me give you another piece of advice. You are not from the same world as our Miss."

Contempt filled Wei Shen's eyes, "Go back where you came from!"

By this point, if the fellow before him still didn't understand what was good or bad, then he couldn't blame Wei Shen for being inhospitable.

"What if I insist on seeing her?"

Zhou Yuan, not a coward without a temper, had already gone the extra mile for Wei Shen, furthermore, he came to express gratitude to Chu Ran. The Tempering Elixir could improve Chu Ran's physique, so it had to be delivered.

"Then it depends on whether you have the strength to enter!"

Wei Shen bellowed, his left foot stomping on the ground, levering his body upwards as he swung a palm strike that whooshed through the air, aiming straight for Zhou Yuan's shoulder.

While it wasn't meant to be life-threatening, it had to intimidate the boy!

Zhou Yuan eyed the charging Wei Shen, estimating his strength to be that of a half-step martial grandmaster, able to reach the stage of energy transformation, where the strength of mind and body is integrated, achieving an invisible and unintentional connection that resonates spontaneously.

This palm strike appeared ordinary, yet it sealed off all of his escape paths, meaning he had no choice but to face it!

"I have wronged!"

As the saying goes, it is quicker said than done. Without pause for further thought, Zhou Yuan swung his fist up to meet the airborne Wei Shen.

"Is this kid not afraid of death?"

"Elder Wei is a half-step martial grandmaster, with forty years of strength behind that palm strike!"

"He's still young and impulsive, eh!"

"..."

The guards at the doorway couldn't help but shake their heads, little realizing that Zhou Yuan had no room to retreat; other than standing firm, he would be beaten to the ground!

But he wouldn't concede defeat!

"Bang…"

When Wei Shen's palm and Zhou Yuan's fist collided, the two mighty forces burst forth with an ear-splitting noise!

The guards grimaced in pain, covering their ears, then stood there dumbfounded.

They saw Wei Shen being knocked back several meters by the punch while Zhou Yuan landed steadily without moving an inch. It was clear who was the stronger!

Wei Shen felt his palm go numb, his right arm utterly devoid of strength, his face filled with shock as he stared at the unimpressive young man before him.

Although he hadn't used his lethal move, nor his full strength, it surely shouldn't have been the case that a green young man could withstand it?

"Thank you for going easy on me, Mr. Wei!"

Zhou Yuan hastily imitated the posture of a young man in martial arts dramas, cupping one hand in the other before his chest to Wei Shen.

After all, Wei Shen was a trusted retainer of Chu Ran, and it wouldn't do to offend him!

Wei Shen's face turned red, his expression flickering strangely. After a moment of silence, he said, "The Miss is discussing matters inside. Wait for her in the living room."

This young man seemed simple and modest on the surface, and he did not mock Wei Shen for being at a disadvantage in the exchange.

If they continued to fight, it would only make him lose face.

Thus, even though he was reluctant, he had no choice but to let Zhou Yuan pass.

In a duel between experts, it's the rule to stop at a touch!

If they insisted on determining a winner, it would only lead to mutual defeat!

"Thank you!"

Zhou Yuan nodded his thanks, then proceeded into the living room.

Meanwhile, inside the conference room!

Zhao Ming stood up with a smiling face, excitedly saying, "Thank you, Miss Chu, for your promotion. My Mingqi Group will definitely not let down your high expectations!"

Joining the Chu Family's ship meant soaring to the heavens.

Who wouldn't be secretly delighted?

"You're too kind!"

Chu Ran spoke in an even tone, "I remember you have a family hereditary illness, right?"

Zhao Ming looked startled, quickly standing up, promising fervently, "Please rest assured, Miss Chu. Our family's hereditary asthma is not contagious and will not interfere with work."

As a businessman, the most feared thing to be brought up is a family hereditary illness.

And this cooperation was especially critical, so he had to clarify.

If Chu Ran misunderstood, Mingqi Group would lose its chance to soar.

"You're thinking too much. I have always had a policy of not doubting those I choose to use, nor using those I doubt," Chu Ran calmly stated, "I know a Divine Doctor who can cure your illness!"

"Go to Block 8, Lichuang Community in the city's village area and look for Zhou Yuan. Say it was Flying Tiger who sent you, and don't lead back to me!"

Despite essentially making a referral, her demeanor remained aloof and intimidating, difficult to look at directly.

She was also full of anticipation, hoping Zhou Yuan wouldn't let her down!

The reason she said this was because she didn't want Zhou Yuan to act too humble in her presence.
