This ensured that cultivating with Master would be twice as effective in the future!
"Master Chen, I have fulfilled my mission. The formation is complete!" Master Yi's old face was beaded with sweat.
The others were no better off.
They had all assisted Chen Jie with all their might, exerting their full spiritual energy, and were now drenched in sweat.
"Masters, please join us for lunch today. I've already ordered takeout."
Wang Xiao Yan, with the air of a hostess, entertained Zhou Shu and the others.
"Alright, we won't stand on ceremony then!"
The dozen or so masters happily agreed. Building a good relationship with Chen Jie was their goal, and they wouldn't miss the opportunity to dine with him.
After a few rounds of drinks, as everyone was preparing to leave, the villa's doorbell rang.
"Chen Jie, are you expecting more friends?" Wang Xiao Yan asked, surprised.
A smile curved Chen Jie's lips. "Not necessarily friends."
Indeed, at that moment, Lin Meng Jiao walked in. "Master, there are three individuals outside who want to visit the masters. One of them is a young man named Ye Fan, who came with Zhou Wei."
"Zhou Wei? Is that Zhou Wei from the Zhou family?" Jiang Xue quickly asked.
Chen Jie nodded. "Precisely. Zhou Wei has now replaced Poison Dragon and become one of my dogs."
"What? Chen Jie, are you insane? You slaughtered Zhou Wei's entire family, and you dare to make him your dog? Aren't you afraid he'll betray you at a critical moment?" Jiang Xue exclaimed in disbelief.
Chen Jie said indifferently, "I wish he would betray me, but he wouldn't dare. Besides, I find it rather amusing to have Zhou Wei as my dog."
Zhou Shu and the others gasped.
This was incredibly ruthless.
Slaughtering an entire family and then forcing the sole descendant to become one's dog.
They immediately decided that they would not oppose Chen Jie until the very last moment, for if they failed to kill him, they would surely suffer a terrible fate.
"Let them in," Chen Jie instructed Lin Meng Jiao.
"Yes, Master."
In a short while, Ye Fan and his companions appeared before Chen Jie.
The trio consisted of Ye Fan, Zhou Wei, and Yin Man Man.
Upon seeing Master Zhou and the others, Ye Fan exclaimed excitedly, "Ye Fan pays his respects to Master Zhou and Master Yi!"
"Mm."
The masters nodded.
They were unaware of Ye Fan's relationship with Chen Jie and thus refrained from making any pronouncements.
"Chen Jie, you're here too?" Ye Fan exclaimed upon seeing Chen Jie.
"Jiang Xue, Wang Xiao Yan, it's you!"
Seeing Jiang Xue and Wang Xiao Yan, Ye Fan was even more astonished.
But in the next second, he burst into laughter. "Hahaha... Perfect! Today, I will catch you all in one go! You're finished! Hahaha..."
"Catch you all in one go?" Chen Jie frowned.
"That's right! Did you think I came here for anything else? Chen Jie, today I will eliminate you once and for all! And I will ravish Wang Xiao Yan right before your eyes! As for Jiang Xue, she's also a decent woman, so I'll reluctantly take her as my concubine!" Ye Fan declared arrogantly.
"Darling, if you take them, what about me!" Yin Man Man said sweetly.
*Slap!*
Ye Fan slapped her across the face. "Do you even know your place? You're just a mere lowly woman. It's already an honor that this young master is playing with you. Do you think you can possess me exclusively?"
Yin Man Man replied with a fawning smile, "Yes, yes, darling, you're right. Later, I and President Wang will join forces to serve you and make you ecstatic."
"That's more like it."
Wang Xiao Yan was furious. "Yin Man Man, you're a woman who smiles even after being hit by a man. Don't you feel ashamed?"
"Ashamed? Hmph, women are meant to please men! And you, Wang Xiao Yan, don't think you can lecture me just because you used to be my boss. After leaving Wang's Corporation, you're nothing to me!"
"Young Master Ye taking a liking to you is your greatest fortune. I advise you to obediently serve Young Master Ye like a dog later, unless you want him to force himself on you?" Yin Man Man said triumphantly.
*Slap!*
Chen Jie immediately delivered a slap.
Yin Man Man cried out in pain, tumbling several times in mid-air.
She then fell to the ground. When she came to her senses, a swollen mark had appeared on her face.
"Do you think I'm being too lenient with you? How dare you disrespect Wang Xiao Yan?" Chen Jie said calmly.
"Ahhh!"
Yin Man Man shrieked, "Chen Jie, you bastard! Do you really think I'm still your lapdog? I'm telling you, I've dumped you! Now, I'm Young Master Ye's woman! And you, you're doomed to die today!"
Chen Jie sneered. He couldn't recall ever being Yin Man Man's boyfriend, so where did the idea of being dumped come from?
However, Chen Jie ignored her. She was just a lowly woman.
Instead, he looked at Ye Fan and said, "I recall telling you that if you ever dared to set your sights on Wang Xiao Yan again, I would take your life, right?"
"Take my life? My life is so tough, can you manage it?"
Ye Fan sneered and turned to the masters. "Master Zhou, Master Yi, I, Ye Fan, have a request for you today!"
"What is it?" Zhou Shu sneered.
He already knew Ye Fan's intention, but he still asked.
Ye Fan pointed at Chen Jie. "I ask you to eliminate Chen Jie!"
Chen Jie chuckled. "Ye Fan, I'm curious, what gives you the confidence to believe you can enlist the masters to deal with me?"
"Hahaha... My confidence comes from you!" Ye Fan laughed madly.
He turned to Zhou Wei and said, "Zhou Wei, take out the dozen or so protective talismans Chen Jie gave you and present them to the masters!"
"Idiot, you're trying to bribe them with things I made! Why don't you consider if I can produce similar items and have them deal with you?" Chen Jie sneered.
He had already issued an execution order for Ye Fan in his heart.
"Hahaha... Do you really think you have the ability to make such excellent items? Isn't there someone else behind you?"
Ye Fan simply didn't believe Chen Jie could craft protective talismans.
"You're just an intermediary. If you're killed, the masters can deal with the true creator directly, why would they need to go through you? Even if you are controlled, wouldn't that provide an endless supply of protective talismans?"
"Masters, strike quickly! Ten protective talismans, aren't they enough to enlist your services?" Ye Fan said confidently.
Zhou Shu and the others were shocked.
They had also heard rumors about the protective talismans and were eager to obtain one for research.
They never expected that the person who made the protective talismans was Chen Jie.
"Ye Fan, I spared your dog's life, yet you don't cherish it and come here to seek death. Now I will make you understand that you are not even as humble as a mere insect before me!"
Chen Jie shouted, "Zhou Wei!"
"Hahaha... Do you really think Zhou Wei is sincerely your dog?"
Ye Fan also shouted, "Zhou Wei! It's time for you to show your allegiance!"
*Bang!*
The next second, Zhou Wei kicked Ye Fan directly.
And shouted, "Ye dog, who do you think you are to disrespect my master?"
