Top Grade Immortal Emperor in the Flower City-Chapter 544 - 554: Misunderstanding, Misunderstanding

As dusk approached, Ye Ling gazed at the sunset outside the window, which tinted half the sky red.

"The scenery here is really beautiful, it can definitely be called exotic." Ye Ling said with a slight smile.

Wang Ningmei nodded, "Of course, after we finish our business, we should go and visit places like the Tianshan Mountains and Lake Kanas. The views there are incredibly beautiful."

"I’m actually more interested in visiting Demon City to see what’s so special about it."

Ye Ling shrugged his shoulders; he had a certain preference for mysterious and magical places since Earth was filled with countless mysteries.

"But the Tianshan Mountains are said to be the place where the Western Queen Mother ascended to immortality. I assume that place must be filled with more mysteries than Demon City, right?"

Wang Ningmei waved her hand, as there were many legends about the Tianshan Mountains, most famously of the monster in the Heavenly Lake.

Upon hearing this, Ye Ling suddenly paused, his eyes widening as he quickly shook his head, "What’s there to see in that... Let’s talk about that later. I won’t mention it now."

Wang Ningmei was taken aback by Ye Ling’s words. What got into him today? He seemed afraid. Could this fearless man actually be scared of something?

Just then, Ao Hongchen and Xiao Hei knocked on the door. Ye Ling, as if he had found a lifesaver, hurried to open the door and let them in.

"I’m saying, shouldn’t we be having dinner by now? I’m so hungry I can hardly stand. You’re not planning on letting the old guy starve to death, are you?" Ao Hongchen complained.

Ye Ling waved his hand, "Hey, you called yourself old, you can handle missing a meal. We’re still waiting for someone. This time we’re here for business, not pleasure."

"Damn it, even beggars need to eat, right? Hurry up and get dinner, or else I’ll freaking run away with Xiao Hei."

Ao Hongchen was fuming, his beard flying about. Ye Ling glanced at him, "Put away your sword behind you for young master here. Those who know you understand you’re a great master, those who don’t would think you’re a street performer."

Ao Hongchen shook his head helplessly and stowed his broad sword into the beard bag Ye Ling had made for him.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door, and Wang Ningmei stood up, "It must be Gama, I’ll go open the door."

"See? The guest of honor has arrived. Starve a little longer, and later we’ll have this host treat us to a whole roasted sheep. I bet the whole roasted sheep here is absolutely authentic."

Ye Ling chuckled while Ao Hongchen, having no other option, could only nod. What else could he do, really run away with Xiao Hei? He was afraid that with a single thought from Ye Ling, Xiao Hei would end up eating him instead.

When the door opened, four men entered, with the leader being a burly figure with a rugged appearance and bristling beard. His high-bridged nose and hawk-like eyes were somewhat unsettling to look at.

The three men behind him were dressed similarly, which of course was a local custom. All four had dark skin and exuded a sinister aura.

On the way here, Wang Ningmei had told Ye Ling about Gama, the region’s largest rough stone exporter. In this unique place, it was impossible to expand one’s business without a strong and loyal team.

Though not quite like drug trafficking, the business was a combination of an industry chain and huge profits, and what’s more, it was a legitimate enterprise.

Just the gambling on rough stones in a single village under Gama’s control could generate billions in immense profits each year, one could imagine.

So in terms of rough stones and jade, that was where Gama’s focus lay. In this chaotic place, it was normal to have some military power.

"Dear General Manager Wang, hello, hello, welcome here."

Gama warmly embraced Wang Ningmei, then glanced at Ye Ling and Ao Hongchen, "President Wang, may I know who these two are?"

"Oh, come here, Gama, let me introduce them to you. This is Ye Ling, my man, and this is Ao Hongchen, the steward of my household."

After Wang Ningmei finished speaking, Gama was taken aback for a moment before bursting into hearty laughter, "Oh dear President Wang, you’ve actually found your beloved. What a surprise and disappointment to me."

"You have no idea how devoutly I pray to Allah every day, yearning to have a beautiful woman like you. What a pity."

After Gama finished speaking, he turned to Ye Ling and gave him a thumbs up, "Brother Ye, you’re indeed a lucky man."

"Don’t mention it, thank you for your blessing." Ye Ling responded with a slight smile, then Gama shook hands with Ao Hongchen.

The group went back inside and sat around the table in the living room. Gama smiled slightly, "Dear President Wang, I have already prepared the finest rough stones for you, along with some raw ones, of course."

"I believe your jade business won’t run short of rough stones this time, don’t you think? Of course, I also have many treasures like Lavender Jade and Hetian Jade. If you want them, I’ll definitely give you a good deal."

Lavender Jade, being one of the finest varieties here known for its lilac color, is a kind of jade that was discovered recently yet has been famous around the world for some time.

There’s no need to say much about Hetian Jade, one of the four great jades of Huaxia, renowned in the jade world.

Wang Ningmei smiled slightly, "Since that’s the case, I’ll need to take quite a few of your beloved treasures, Gama. I have a new store opening and was planning to pick out some fine jade from here."

Gama nodded, "Why talk like this? We’re friends, after all. As long as you make money, I can also create greater profits. It’s beneficial to both of us."

"Oh right, you haven’t had dinner yet, have you? Well then, let’s go out to eat. I’ve already reserved a room to treat you to authentic roasted whole lamb, haha!"

Gama laughed heartily, and Ao Hongchen, standing to one side, offered a cup of water to him. Gama was still laughing when, suddenly, the cup Ao Hongchen handed over smashed to the floor with a crack, shattering.

With a creak, Gama’s eyes widened, his four burly bodyguards behind him were also stupefied, their faces a mix of surprise and embarrassment.

Ye Ling was startled, thinking, "Come on, guys, what’s the big deal? It’s just a broken cup. Don’t make it awkward, geez. Look at Gama, acting as if he’s seen a ghost."

"Ah, it’s nothing, really. As our common saying goes, ’A broken piece brings peace.’"

Ye Ling hurriedly said with a smile, but at that moment, the door nearby was suddenly kicked down with a bang, and a group of people wielding curved blades, flashing with a chilling light, marched into the room.

The newcomers each had a murderous look, their eyes fierce, making anyone’s heart tremble with fear.

"What... does this mean?"

Ye Ling was taken aback and then chuckled, although a hint of a dark cloud flickered through his eyes.

Gama quickly waved his hands, "A misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. These fools thought I was in danger. We have to be cautious around here after all!"

"Oh? Is that so, Big Gama?"

Ye Ling chuckled, the corner of his mouth curling up in a sly and vicious arc.
