　　The sudden appearance of Long Er not only injured Ye Qiu but also made Ye Qiu feel unprecedented pressure.
　　As the military god said, the move of the Forbidden City is undoubtedly killing people and punishing their hearts.
　　Long Er’s strength is far above Ye Qiu. If he had wanted to kill Ye Qiu just now, then Ye Qiu would have been in great danger.
　　However, Long Er didn’t do this.
　　He just brought a letter of challenge to Ye Qiu.
　　Obviously, the Forbidden City not only wants Ye Qiu to die, but also wants him to live in fear before he dies.
　　Suffer from the torture of fear.
　　The Forbidden City, you look down on me too much. If I were afraid of death, I wouldn’t have become your enemy in the first place.
　　Ye Qiu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stood up from the ground.
　　Su Luoying was very worried about Ye Qiu’s injury and said, “Ye Qiu, let me take you back. You are so seriously injured.”
　　“Don’t worry about me. It’s just a minor injury and doesn’t matter.”
　　Seeing that everyone showed concern, Ye Qiu said, “Sorry to have scared you.”
　　“I’m　really　fine.”
　　“I originally wanted to treat you to a meal tonight, but this happened. I’m afraid the matter of having a meal…”
　　Before Ye Qiu could finish speaking, Su Xiaoxiao said, “Director, we understand.”
　　“We won’t go for a meal tonight.”
　　“You should go back earlier！”
　　Fu Yanjie also followed and said, “Yes, Director, you should go home quickly！”
　　Lao Xiang said, “Director, you should deal with your own important matter first. When you are free, we will have a dinner party again.”
　　“Thank you all for your understanding. I’m very happy to have colleagues like you.” Ye Qiu’s tone changed： “However, the meal still has to be eaten.”
　　“People are made of iron and rice is steel. How can one do without eating？”
　　“I won’t go tonight. Xiaoxiao, you take everyone to the Emperor Hao Hotel for dinner. I’ve booked the private room. Just report my name when you go.”
　　“Xiaoxiao, this is the task I assigned to you. You must complete it without fail.”
　　“Tell me, can you do it well？”
　　Su Xiaoxiao felt very sad in her heart, but didn’t want to let Ye Qiu see it. She nodded and said, “Director, I can do it well.”
　　“Very good. Order the expensive ones when you go. Don’t save money for me. I’ll go home first. Goodbye.”
　　Ye Qiu waved his hand and turned to leave.
　　Su Luoying, Su Xiaoxiao, Fu Yanjie, and Lao Xiang stood there motionless, watching Ye Qiu drive away.
　　Fu Yanjie said： “The director is really a tough guy. He vomited so much blood and could still talk to us with a smile. He did this just not to make us worry.”
　　Lao Xiang asked Doubt ： “I heard that old man say earlier that he came from the Forbidden City. What kind of existence is the Forbidden City？”
　　Su Luoying said： “The Forbidden City is a force, and their strength is terrifying.”
　　“How terrifying？” Fu Yanjie asked.
　　Su Luoying shook her head： “How terrifying it is, I don’t know either.”
　　“I only heard that they are all old monsters who have lived for a hundred years, and their cultivation is unfathomable.”
　　“They have always been arrogant and overbearing in their actions, and nothing can restrain them. They don’t even take Old Tang seriously.”
　　What？
　　Fu Yanjie and Lao Xiang’s faces were full of shock.
　　In their eyes, a powerful figure like Old Tang, in ancient times, would be the supreme emperor, holding all the power of life and death in the world. No one dared to disobey the emperor, let alone ignore the emperor.
　　Fu Yanjie said incredulously： “Are the people in the Forbidden City crazy? How dare they not take Old Tang seriously?”
　　“Even if they are powerful in martial arts, they can’t be so lawless, can they？”
　　“Could they be immortals？”
　　After Fu Yanjie finished speaking, he was criticized by Lao Xiang： “Nonsense, how could there be immortals in this world.”
　　Su Luoying then said： “The people in the Forbidden City are not immortals, but they have means like immortals.”
　　“Looking at the whole world, they are an invincible existence.”
　　“Whoever opposes them will not come to a good end.”
　　“This time, Ye Qiu, I’m afraid…”
　　When Su Luoying said this, tears flickered in her eyes. Thinking of Ye Qiu’s situation, she was extremely worried.
　　For a while, the atmosphere at the scene was a bit heavy.
　　Suddenly.
　　Su Xiao said： “I think we should do something for the director？”
　　Hearing this sentence, a flash of light appeared in Su Luoying’s eyes.
　　Su Xiaoxiao then said： “The director has been so kind to us. Now that he is in trouble, we can’t just stand by and do nothing.”
　　Alas…
　　Fu Yanjie let out a long sigh and said, “Xiaoxiao, don’t I want to do something for the director? If I were a martial arts master, then on New Year’s Eve, I would definitely accompany the director to the Forbidden City. But I’m just a useless person and can’t help at all.”
　　Lao Xiang said, “Everyone should still go to work well. If we can’t help, we mustn’t add chaos to the director.”
　　Fu Yanjie nodded. “I think what Lao Xiang said is right. Go to work well and don’t add chaos to the director.”
　　Su Xiaoxiao put away her depressed mood and said, “Let’s go, it’s time to eat！”
　　Lao Xiang said, “I think forget it. The director has gone home and everyone should also go back to their respective homes.”
　　”No way. The director assigned this task to me. We must go to eat. You follow me.”
　　Immediately, Su Xiaoxiao led everyone straight to the Emperor Hotel.
　　……
　　On the way home.
　　Ye Qiu received a call from Cao Qingcheng.
　　”I’ve heard everything. Now it’s spreading like wildfire in the capital. Ye Qiu, is there anything I can do？ Or, is there anything that I and the 100,000 brothers of the Dragon Gate can do to help you？”
　　Ye Qiu thought for a while and said, “There is really one thing that needs to trouble you now.”
　　”Help me collect century-old medicinal materials. The more the better.”
　　”The speed should be fast.”
　　Cao Qingcheng didn’t ask Ye Qiu what he was looking for the century-old medicinal materials for and readily agreed. “I will spare no expense to find medicinal materials for you. After the medicinal materials are found, where should they be delivered？”
　　Ye Qiu said, “Just deliver them directly to Jiangzhou and give them to Xiao Zhan at that time.”
　　“OK.” Cao Qingcheng added, “If you need anything else, feel free to contact me at any time.”
　　“You are the Door master of the Dragon Gate, and the Forbidden City’s challenge letter to you is also a challenge letter to our Dragon Gate.”
　　“No matter what, I and the one hundred thousand brothers of the Dragon Gate will always support you, through life and death！”
　　“Thank you.” Ye Qiu hung up the phone and then made a call to Xiao Zhan , asking Xiao Zhan to find him a quiet villa.”
　　Next, he was going to go into seclusion for a period of time.”
　　Now there are less than three months until New Year’s Eve, and he must use this time to improve his strength.”
　　Subsequently.”
　　Ye Qiu also made a call to Bai Bing, telling Bai Bing to pay attention to Su Luoying’s body and contact him in time if there was any change.”
　　That night.”
Ye Qiu stayed at Lin Jingzhi’s home and gave some instructions to Lin Jingzhi.
　　The next morning, Ye Qiu returned home and had a long talk with Qian Jinglan.”
　　At noon.”
　　Qian Jinglan called Lin Jingzhi and Bai Bing to the house and cooked a full table of dishes. The family was happy and harmonious.”
　　After lunch.”
　　Ye Qiu carried the God Sword and followed Xiao Zhan to the place of seclusion.”
