Forced to Marry a Female Billionaire CEO-Chapter 630 Mister Xu, You Can Definitely Do It

"Against me?"

Startled by Duan Zhuo'e's words, Xu Ke exclaimed, "What do you mean?"

He immediately suspected that Fang Caizhe might have said something to Xiang Hongyu and Ma Lian, causing them to plot against him.

Duan Zhuo'e hastily said, "Uncle Xu, don't be anxious, and please don't misunderstand."

"Here's the thing. After Da Tou and Ma Tong arrived in Tianhai, they did a few rounds of investigating and came to a conclusion."

"What conclusion?" Xu Ke frowned.

Without blushing or his heart skipping a beat, Duan Zhuo'e began to sell out his team. "They believe that the lady purposely handed the Seasoned Envoy's badge to you so we would teach you a lesson."

"Huh?"

Xu Ke was stunned.

Then, Duan Zhuo'e relayed Xiang Hongyu's analysis to Xu Ke in meticulous detail. He explained how Xiang Hongyu had deduced the Seasoned Envoy's badge was in Xu Ke's possession, her theory that Ki Qinyin wanted Xu Ke to teach them a lesson as well as for them to teach Xu Ke a lesson, and the entire logical process through which she interpreted Ki Qinyin's true objective: to have them bring Xu Ke back to the Northern Dragon Guard.

After hearing Duan Zhuo'e out, Xu Ke was visibly stunned for a moment before he suddenly burst into laughter, unable to stop himself from cursing, "Damn, this Xiang Hongyu is really something else!"

"Uncle, she was just joking, don't take it seriously. It was all in jest, please don't be angry..."

Duan Zhuo'e thought Xu Ke was upset because Xiang Hongyu wanted to deflate his arrogance.

But Xu Ke wasn't angry at all. He said, "How could I be? I think Ma Tong's reasoning is very sound. The logic is tight, and he even figured out where the Seasoned Envoy's badge is... Hmm, pretty impressive!"

Moreover, there was one thing Xu Ke didn't say. If I didn't know that Ki Qinyin had seen me at my peak Innate Great Perfection cultivation, and that this group of young geniuses under her were absolutely no match for me, I might have even believed Xiang Hongyu's conclusion that the lady's goal was to suppress me.

Duan Zhuo'e was on the verge of tears. "Please stop praising her. It's making my skin crawl." To him, Xu Ke's praise sounded terribly sarcastic.

"I'm really not angry," Xu Ke said contemptuously. "You have no psychological resilience at all. I'm surprised you have the guts to be a traitorous informant."

"Uncle, don't slander me! I'm not a traitor," Duan Zhuo'e argued.

Xu Ke gave him a look of profound disbelief. "You leak Xiang Hongyu's painstakingly deduced plan to me in its entirety, and you're saying that's not being a traitor?"

"I did it for their own good!" Duan Zhuo'e shouted.

This was a new one for Xu Ke. "How is this for their good?"

"Think about it. If I hadn't told you, you wouldn't have known they might ambush you, right?"

"Hmm, possibly."

"And when facing an ambush, you'd go all out, wouldn't you?"

"Hmm."

"Under your full power, they'd definitely be severely injured or crippled. Now that I've told you in advance, you'll be mentally prepared. Doesn't that save their lives?" Duan Zhuo'e said. "Uncle, think about it. *Really* think about it."

After mulling over the words, Xu Ke said, "You do have a point!"

"Right? Hehe!"

"Alright then. Keep an eye on their movements and report back to me." Xu Ke had wanted to ask Duan Zhuo'e more, but he noticed Ye Feng was waking up, so he could only leave it at that.

"Got it!"

Duan Zhuo'e hung up the phone, feeling thrilled.

Xu Ke turned his head toward the bed.

On the bed, Ye Feng, who had been unconscious when they first entered, was now twitching his fingers.

Tang Yingchang's expression shifted slightly. "Third Young Master Ye's recovery ability is not to be underestimated!"

Even knowing Xu Ke's skills as the Medical Saint were aiding the process, Ye Feng's ability to begin recovering so quickly was still astonishing. He had faced a powerful explosion and spent nearly half a day in a cold storage room.

Xu Ke's expression grew a bit more serious as he said, "Li Shichuan's letter did mention that Ye Feng's Martial Path talent is the closest to his father's. So, just how strong was the previous Family Head of the Ye Family?"

"I've heard rumors that Ye Yunfeng's father, Ye Deming, had an astonishing talent for the Martial Path. He achieved the Innate Great Perfection at the age of fifty, a speed that ranked him within the top fifteen in all of Huaxia."

"That amazing?"

This time, Xu Ke was genuinely surprised. He hadn't expected Ye Deming to be so incredible.

"Yes! But Mister Xu, you have to consider this: Ye Deming had grand ambitions to make his mark in Long Capital. But think about how powerful the Wang Family must have been to confront the Ye Family and force them into a prolonged stalemate here in Tianhai," Tang Yingchang added.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ke froze. Only now did he realize just how formidable his self-made father-in-law, a man he had never met, must have been. But for such a powerful man to die so young... could there be a conspiracy behind it?

Xu Ke frowned, deciding to shelve this suspicion for now and ask Wong Qifu about it in detail later.

He stepped forward and took Ye Feng's pulse. His pulse was chaotic and weak, with underlying signs that could lead to serious injury if not handled properly, but there were no other major issues.

Xu Ke let go of his wrist, a new question forming in his mind. He looked up and asked, "By the way, Elder Tang, who's in the top ten on the speed rankings for breaking through to Innate Great Perfection?"

"Ah, I'm not actually very clear on the specifics. The last time I heard the detailed list was ten years ago. So much has happened in the last decade, I'm sure records have been broken..." Tang Yingchang said. "But I am one hundred percent certain about the top three."

"Who are they?" Xu Ke asked.

"In third place is your master, the Medical Saint!" Tang Yingchang recited as if listing family treasures. "He broke through to the Innate Great Perfection at forty-one, which shocked the world."

"Wow, that impressive?"

Xu Ke was surprised. His master had never told him about this.

Oh. I get it now! He must have kept it a secret because he was afraid I'd break through faster than he did and he didn't want his ego bruised. Perfect! A smile curled onto Xu Ke's lips. Next time I see Master, I'm definitely going to tease him relentlessly.

"That's right. And the one who succeeded just a short while before your master was Martial Saint Yan Xuehai, also at the age of forty-one. However, most people consider your master to be faster. That's because your master had to juggle his medical practice, while Yan Xuehai could focus solely on the Martial Path. For years, people have said that if your master had dedicated himself to martial arts, Yan Xuehai would have no right to the title of Martial Saint."

"Because of this," Tang Yingchang continued, "Yan Xuehai is extremely unhappy with your master. He even publicly declared he wanted to challenge your master to a duel. Unfortunately, your master refused, and has left him hanging for over two decades."

"Well done. He's my master, after all," Xu Ke said with satisfaction. "I won't tease him next time we meet."

Tang Yingchang was suddenly at a loss for words. That remark... doesn't sound very respectful of his master, does it?

"Then who's number one?" Xu Ke asked.

Hearing this, Tang Yingchang's expression turned slightly awkward. "Well, the current number one is Wong Ting. He reached the Innate Great Perfection in the last couple of years."

Xu Ke raised an eyebrow. "That guy is so awesome?"

"He had a fortuitous encounter, that's universally acknowledged, so it doesn't really count. I'm sure you can do it faster than him, Mister Xu," Tang Yingchang affirmed confidently. "Given your terrifying cultivation, reaching the Innate Initial Stage by twenty-five, it's entirely possible you could break through to the Innate Great Perfection by the time you're twenty-nine."

"When that happens, you will undoubtedly shake the entire martial artist community of Huaxia and rewrite the speed rankings, setting a breakthrough record that no one before or after you will ever match."

Hearing Tang Yingchang's ambitious speech, Xu Ke, who had already reached the Innate Great Perfection three years prior, felt a bit awkward. He touched his nose, nodded in feigned agreement, and cleared his throat. "Ahem, yes! Anything is possible, anything at all!"

Thinking Xu Ke's lack of confidence stemmed from being intimidated by Wong Ting's achievement, Tang Yingchang quickly offered reassurance. "Mister Xu, you don't need to be so hesitant. You can definitely do it. I'd stake my entire career as a martial artist on it."

"Yes, yes! I believe it too, I really do!" Xu Ke patted his own chest, feigning great confidence.

"That's good to hear."

Tang Yingchang nodded with satisfaction and began to fantasize. If Mister Xu really does break through at twenty-nine, then I, as the attendant who has been by his side from early on, might also have my name recorded in the annals of the martial artist world! Hmm, the thought is a bit exciting. I hope Mister Xu succeeds in breaking through within the next five years!

Today I was rushing to get home, so the update is a bit late.

Also, Kiln Chicken wishes everyone a Happy New Year in advance! Only three days left until the New Year
