"You should tell me, because I feel like you're not happy attending your friend's wedding. Is there something going on? If there is, I can help," Jiang Chen said with a slight smile.
The young woman scrutinized Jiang Chen, as if trying to see through his very soul. But no matter how she looked at him, he didn’t seem like someone of any particular status.
"Are you trying to hit on me?" the young woman suddenly asked.
"Uh, you're overthinking it. If you don't want to talk, just pretend I never asked," Jiang Chen replied, shaking his head in exasperation.
"Isn't that just your way of flirting with a girl? I've seen plenty of tricks like yours," the young woman retorted.
Jiang Chen chose not to respond further. Since she was unwilling to share, he wouldn’t press her. This matter had nothing to do with him anyway.
Seeing that Jiang Chen was no longer engaging with her, the young woman stood frozen for three seconds before catching up to him.
"Can you really help my friend?" she asked as she ran up beside him. She felt utterly helpless and decided to trust Jiang Chen just this once.
"First, tell me what the situation is, and then I'll consider whether I can help," Jiang Chen said.
"I don’t know the specifics. Pingping and I grew up together. After I graduated from junior high, my family moved to Great Britain. But I still kept in touch with Pingping. Recently, she contacted me saying she was getting married, but her tone was devoid of any joy. I knew something was off. After pressing her several times, she finally stammered out that she was being forced by the Feng Family. If you're from Southwest Province, you should know about the Feng Family; they are our underground leaders with immense power. In fact, Pingping's family isn't an ordinary one either. It's strange because with Pingping's family's status, they shouldn't have to bow to the Feng Family. But Pingping said the Feng Family has changed; it seems they’ve allied with a martial arts force. If she refuses to marry Feng Dong, the Feng Family will destroy her family," the young woman explained.
This young woman was named Yang Er; the Yang Family used to be a prominent family in Southwest Province before they immigrated to Great Britain.
"What martial arts force would dare meddle in worldly affairs?" Jiang Chen asked.
"I’m not too sure about that. I heard it might be a martial arts force from the Ten Thousand Great Mountains. Pingping's family can't handle them; they must be quite powerful. Can you help Pingping?" Yang Er looked at Jiang Chen with hopeful eyes.
"A martial arts force from the Ten Thousand Great Mountains? This is getting interesting," Jiang Chen chuckled softly.
From what Jiang Chen knew, there were only two major forces in the Ten Thousand Great Mountains: Divine Medicine Valley and Corpse Refining Clan. Of course, there were smaller forces too, but they were insignificant in his eyes. Now that Corpse Refining Clan was stirring again, Jiang Chen suspected that this ally of the Feng Family was most likely Corpse Refining Clan.
"What do you mean by interesting? If you can't help, just say so without being so cryptic," Yang Er said, feeling displeased at Jiang Chen's playful demeanor.
"It's just a small matter. Come on, take me to see," Jiang Chen smiled. If the ally found by the Feng Family was indeed Corpse Refining Clan, it would save him some trouble.
Seeing Jiang Chen’s nonchalant attitude left Yang Er stunned.
"Just you alone?" she asked.
"A mere Feng Family? I can handle them by myself," Jiang Chen replied with a grin.
"Forget it; I thought you had some sort of powerful background! If you have no backing and go after the Feng Family, you won’t even know how you died," Yang Er shook her head, thinking Jiang Chen was just boasting.
