Late at night, the president of the Star City Martial Arts Association, Zhao Zhiyi, received a call from Governor Wang Anyuan.

"What's going on? Calling so late?"

"President, there's been a big incident."

Upon learning that the young talent he valued, Ye Qingzhou, was attacked, Zhao Zhiyi immediately lost all sleepiness and asked for details: "Simply lawless! Who's behind the attack?"

Knowing that Ye Qingzhou was exceptionally talented and highly regarded by Zhao Zhiyi, Wang Anyuan promptly replied, "It was Xing Jiansong. He had Ruibang Company's head of security, Zhou Lianyu, lead people to besiege Ye Qingzhou."

"Is Ye Qingzhou all right?"

As the president of the Star City Martial Arts Association, basically the entire martial arts world of Xiang Province was under Zhao Zhiyi's jurisdiction.

Unearthing excellent young martial artists was his greatest political achievement.

Ye Qingzhou was now his most valued martial arts rookie, so naturally, Zhao Zhiyi did not wish for anything to happen to Ye Qingzhou.

Wang Anyuan sighed, "Ye Qingzhou is fine, but twenty people from Ruibang are dead, leaving only one survivor, Zhou Lianyu."

"..."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhiyi was speechless, just feeling that Ye Qingzhou, at such a young age, was already so bloodthirsty.

With people dead, especially twenty at once, things naturally became significant.

"President, how should we wrap this up now?"

The matter involved some untouchable figures, leaving Wang Anyuan at a loss, and therefore he hoped Zhao Zhiyi, the president of the Xiang Province Martial Arts Association, would personally make a decision.

But Zhao Zhiyi also found it very tricky. He rubbed his forehead and asked, "How did Ye Qingzhou end up against Xing Jiansong?"

"This morning, Ye Qingzhou went to Thunder Accumulation Mountain. Because of an additional match, he took the spot originally belonging to Xing Yaoming. As a result, Xing Yaoming, upset upon hearing this, had a quarrel with Ye Qingzhou and was slapped by him, losing a mouthful of teeth..."

Wang Anyuan relayed the entire story to Zhao Zhiyi in detail.

"Ugh, always stirring up trouble for me."

Zhao Zhiyi also felt speechless. What started as a small issue had blown up like this.

As for Xing Yaoming, Zhao Zhiyi held him in disdain. By strength and aptitude, Xing Yaoming had no right to enter Thunder Accumulation Mountain; the spot was taken from someone else.

Moreover, if Xing Yaoming couldn't enter this month, he could still enter next month. Yet, lacking patience, he provoked Ye Qingzhou, bringing this upon himself.

But reason is reason; in this world, besides fairness, there's something called 'human relations and worldly wisdom.'

Xing Yaoming is indeed trash, but who can help it if he's lucky?

Not everyone's uncle can be a Martial Arts Master, after all.

After pondering, Zhao Zhiyi made a decision immediately: "So Zhou Lianyu is the only survivor, right?"

"Yes."

"Then find a way to ensure he stays silent forever. This ends here."

Clearly, Zhao Zhiyi intended to suppress the matter and did not plan to hold Xing Jiansong accountable.

"But as for Ye Qingzhou, he's still waiting for a response from our Martial Arts Association..."

Wang Anyuan was obviously troubled. If the matter ended here, could someone with Ye Qingzhou's character really swallow this injustice?

As for Zhao Zhiyi, although he valued Ye Qingzhou's potential for the future, potential is potential, and strength is strength.

Ye Qingzhou only had the possibility of becoming the next Zhangg Xinwu, while Xing Jiansong's brother-in-law, Zhao Baoming, was a genuine Martial Arts Master.

Moreover, he was a Martial Arts Master at the peak of the Heaven-Ascending Third Layer Realm, currently in secluded cultivation in the Profound Nether Grotto Heaven. Once he breaks through, he would reach the Heaven-Ascending Fourth Layer's Earth Evil Grandmaster Realm.

As the president of the Martial Arts Association, Zhao Zhiyi was undoubtedly a very rational person. After weighing the pros and cons, he chose to lean towards Zhao Baoming and protect Xing Jiansong.

However, Ye Qingzhou was indeed a promising Martial Arts Prodigy; he needed to be properly appeased.

After contemplating for a moment, Zhao Zhiyi instructed Wang Anyuan: "Let's do this. Didn't we just receive a batch of Congo Jade Marrow from above? Give it to Ye Qingzhou as compensation."

"Congo Jade Marrow?"

Wang Anyuan was startled: "It's said to be produced from the Kunlun Grotto Heaven, the resin of the Coiling Dragon Immortal Tree, a top-grade rare treasure. Its value is immeasurable and can enhance a person's qualifications and roots. Are we really giving it away just like that?"

"The best items must go to the right people to be effective. The world's situation is worsening, and our Dongji Kingdom needs to prepare quickly."

Zhao Zhiyi sighed. As the president of the Xiang Province Martial Arts Association, although he held high rank and authority, he also felt immense pressure.

Especially with the current situation, crises kept looming, and time for humanity was running out.

......

Three days later, at Linjiang First High School.

Principal's office.

"Hello, Student Ye Qingzhou, I am Wang Anyuan, a governor of the Star City Martial Arts Association. I'm here to discuss something with you."

"Hello, Governor Wang."

Seeing the demeanor of the visitor, Ye Qingzhou had a bad feeling: "May I ask if Xing Jiansong has been arrested?"

"Well..."

Wang Anyuan's expression was somewhat awkward. But remembering President Zhao Zhiyi's instructions, he could only muster up the courage to explain to Ye Qingzhou: "It's not as you imagine, Student Ye. Our Martial Arts Association investigation found that Xing Jiansong was not involved; it was all Zhou Lianyu acting on his own initiative."

This kind of nonsense, Ye Qingzhou had no interest in listening to even a single word: "Where is Zhou Lianyu?"
