However, upon hearing Yuan Shuo say that, Wang Ye looked at him with an innocent expression and asked Yuan Shuo,

"President Yuan, what are you talking about? Didn't you just ask me to cooperate with you? I thought that woman did something wrong and you had some sort of plan, so I just cooperated with you without any other meaning."

"..."

Yuan Shuo sized up Wang Ye's expression, and that innocent look seemed genuinely real. It was as if in Wang Ye's heart, he truly was that innocent.

Wang Ye...well done!

Yuan Shuo took a deep breath and fiddled with the Skyrocketing Pill in his hand. While playing with it, he said, "Alright then, since you've said that, this Skyrocketing Pill doesn't have much to do with you after all, so I won't need to give it to you."

"How can that be!"

Wang Ye's voice grew louder, his expression righteous, but the words that came out of his mouth were somewhat shameless: "This Skyrocketing Pill was given by that woman, that sister, as compensation after she saw I was injured. It was her way of apologizing to me. Since she has apologized, I, Wang Ye, am not one to be ungracious in accepting her apology."

Having said this, Wang Ye directly took the Skyrocketing Pill from Yuan Shuo's hand.

The expression on his face looked...extremely pure.

"..."

Yuan Shuo was at a loss for words at Wang Ye's series of changes, and even wondered if it was him who wanted to collude with Wang Ye to trick Wan Qing just now?

Wasn't it Wang Ye, together with him, instigating him to trick Wan Qing?

How could Wang Ye say such shameless things with such a stern expression?

He even felt like he didn't want to give that Skyrocketing Pill to Wang Ye anymore.

"Ahem." Wang Ye, seeing such an expression on Yuan Shuo's face, knew he shouldn't overdo it in this situation, and immediately said to Yuan Shuo with a smile,

"If it weren't for President Yuan's efforts, I wouldn't have been able to get this Skyrocketing Pill, so thank you, President Yuan. I will remember this favor."

Seeing Wang Ye's attitude, Yuan Shuo finally felt somewhat satisfied. He nodded slightly and was about to return to his original seat, but after a thought, Yuan Shuo directly sat on the floor.

A seat?

Where was there a seat?

During their fight, the aftermath of the battle had already destroyed the computer desk and seats.

Now, there was nowhere left to sit!

Seeing Yuan Shuo sitting directly on the ground, Wang Ye also sat down and looked at Yuan Shuo, grinning as he said, "President Yuan, it was all my fault today. I suddenly fought with President Yuan and caused these tables to break."

"In the following period, I will, on behalf of the Suye Group, donate a hundred million to the Xijiang Province Martial Arts Association for the purchase of office desks and the like."

In his interactions with Yuan Shuo, Wang Ye found that although Yuan Shuo seemed unreliable and even colluded with him today to scam their own people, Wang Ye still thought he was worth befriending.

For Wang Ye now, one billion was not an insurmountable amount.

However, upon hearing Wang Ye's words, Yuan Shuo shook his head and spoke, "No need!"

"If it were before, I would have accepted your billion, but during these turbulent times, there's no need for it."

"Turbulent times?"

Wang Ye, hearing Yuan Shuo's words, fell into deep thought.

What did Yuan Shuo mean by "turbulent times"?

Didn't everything seem quite stable recently?

At least, from Wang Ye's perspective, aside from the changes his arrival had brought to certain situations, it seemed there were no other issues arising.

Yet here was Yuan Shuo, speaking of turbulent times.

Where was the instability?

Curious in his heart, Wang Ye saw that Yuan Shuo did not seem inclined to share more, and so he did not press the question further.

After all, his acquaintance with Yuan Shuo was still quite new, and although they had just joined forces to trick Wan Qing, this did not prove a close relationship between them.

"With this Skyrocketing Pill, can I really advance directly to a Third Grade Martial Warrior?"

As Wang Ye spoke, he was about to swallow the Skyrocketing Pill when Yuan Shuo hurriedly stopped him, saying,

"Wait, although you are at the peak of Fourth Grade Martial Warrior, you are still lacking something to break through to Third Grade Martial Warrior." Yuan Shuo's words caused Wang Ye to pause, and he looked at Yuan Shuo, putting away the Skyrocketing Pill and waiting for him to continue.

Yuan Shuo seemed immersed for a moment, as if organizing his thoughts, and after a while, he continued to speak to Wang Ye:

"You should know, a Third Grade Martial Warrior possesses 'force'."

"That means, in order to break through to Third Grade Martial Warrior, you must understand what your 'force' is and be clear about it, able to utilise your 'force'. Otherwise, you cannot achieve the breakthrough to Third Grade Martial Warrior."

"Even though in our recent fight your strength was indeed formidable, reaching the peak of Fourth Grade Martial Warrior, the key issue is that what you displayed was all brute force, without 'force'."

"Force..."

Wang Ye pondered Yuan Shuo's words to himself.

This concept, his master had spoken to him about it a long, long time ago.

However, his master's answer was simple: don't deliberately concern yourself with 'force'. When you have free time, watch the sea, climb a high mountain, fight with animals in the primeval forest; enjoy the sensation of waterfalls cascading down from above, and through these experiences, you will naturally comprehend 'force'.

Back then, Wang Ye, after hearing his master's words, felt that grasping 'force' was an easy matter, and planned to do so after leaving the mountain. However, after descending, Wang Ye found himself always lacking the time to do so.

Wang Ye looked at Yuan Shuo, this Third Grade Martial Warrior. Though he seemed unreliable, he could now answer Wang Ye's questions.
