Cave Refuge

Dong Tianyu didn't expect Ye Liuyun to speak so boldly here, with the Li family sitting not far from him, he didn't avoid mentioning them at all.

"Although I know where I can get some ham, the seller's asking price is too high. I'm planning to cool him off a bit and wait until I get my hands on it."

Hearing Dong Tianyu say this, Ye Liuyun realized that Dong Tianyu was raising the price, so he didn't foolishly ask whose hands the ham was in.

"Okay, wait until you get it. By the way, are you practicing?"

Suddenly hearing Ye Liuyun ask this, Dong Tianyu was also startled. He never expected that Ye Liuyun would be able to tell that he was practicing. It was tough to say…

While Dong Tianyu was still lost in his thoughts, Ye Liuyun saw that Dong Tianyu was suddenly startled and immediately understood that his big brother was right, so he proudly said:

"Didn't expect that I could tell you're practicing martial arts, no wonder your physical fitness is so good. We're old friends now, if it weren't for my brother telling me about this, how long were you planning to hide it from me."

'Practicing martial arts? I'm cultivating to become a Daoist, okay!'

If Ye Liuyun hadn't said the following, it would have been fine, but after Ye Liuyun finished speaking, Dong Tianyu immediately understood that he had misunderstood. But from the other's tone, isn't Robinson William a martial artist?

Hadn't martial arts become a dance? Isn't it just a facade? Just now, it was introduced that Ye Liuyun's brother, Robinson William, was from the Special Forces. By all accounts, his combat ability should be strong. Could it be that the department Robinson William was originally working in was not a frontline department, but a logistics one?

Looking at Dong Tianyu's facial expression instantly smoothing out, Ye Liuyun thought that Dong Tianyu had just calmed himself down, not realizing that the situation just now had been a misunderstanding between them.

"Bro, I'm begging for your help."

"What's the matter first?" Seeing Ye Liuyun's shameless face, Dong Tianyu knew that he was up to no good.

"Despite my age, I still have a desire to practice martial arts. However, I know that martial arts needs to be practiced from a young age. What do you think of my kid? If you're willing, I'll let him come over and kowtow to acknowledge you as his master now."

Seeing that Ye Liuyun was really about to get up and call his son over, Dong Tianyu immediately stopped him: "Isn't your big brother practicing martial arts? How nice would it be for your son to acknowledge him as his master? He's his uncle. Wouldn't he teach him seriously?"

Hearing Dong Tianyu's evasion, a bashful smile appeared on Ye Liuyun's face. Could he say that he wanted his son to acknowledge Dong Tianyu as his master, simply to mooch off the valuable medicine that Dong Tianyu might have stored?

After all, as long as his son formally acknowledges a master, Dong Tianyu would never neglect to invest resources to nurture him, right? Even if he had to bear the cost himself, some things cannot be bought with all the money in the world.

Seeing the expression on Ye Liuyun's face, Dong Tianyu definitely knew there was a trap here. Although he didn't know where the trap was, there must be something he didn't know.

Looking at Dong Tianyu who was smiling and not speaking, Ye Liuyun didn't beat around the bush anymore: "I'll just tell you, I really do want my son to practice martial arts, but practicing martial arts requires expensive, rare and old medicines.

In the past, before the disaster occurred, those medicinal materials were already extremely difficult to run. Now, following the disaster, you also understand the situation. Previously thought martial arts were a legend.

But now I know that one can truly learn martial arts, I really want my son to study martial arts. After all, in this world, it's always better to have strength."

After talking for a long while, Dong Tianyu didn't understand the other party's meaning, so he frankly asked: "What does this have to do with me? Isn't your big brother a martial artist?"

"I was thinking that you are also a martial artist, shouldn't you have a few of those rare medicines stored on your end? If my son acknowledges you as his master, given our relationship, you would undoubtedly teach earnestly."

Looking at Ye Liuyun's face full of calculated satisfaction, Dong Tianyu really wanted to kick him, leaving a big print of his size 46 shoe on his face. His desire to do that was quite noticeable.

"You think I have rare medicines? I am also searching for rare medicines. You don't look at the current situation. Even the rare medicines saved in the past, can there be many left now?

Cold disaster and floods, not to mention Pengcheng, it's hard to say how many rare medicines can be retained in the whole Great Summer Dynasty."

Hearing Dong Tianyu say so, Ye Liuyun also knew that Dong Tianyu wasn't lying to him. His analysis also seemed reasonable, and his face instantly became a bit lost.

Seeing his younger brother, who was chatting with Dong Tianyu, changing his face constantly, Robinson William was very curious about what the two were talking about. But the head of the Li family, Li Jianshe, was constantly chatting with him, making it impossible for him to leave for a while.

Because the food at this gathering was too rich, the Li family didn't ask for outside help but did it themselves. Fortunately, after other guests arrived, some women came to the kitchen to help, so things were not delayed.

The men, both young and old, all sat at the table, while the women helped bring the food from the kitchen to the dining table.

While Dong Tianyu and Ye Liuyun were chatting, the dishes on their table had already been arranged.

Ye Liuyun looked at the fruit plate in the middle of the table and asked Dong Tianyu again: "Can watermelon be canned too?"

Before Dong Tianyu could answer, a man sitting on the other side suddenly laughed and said, "Ye Fatty, you're supposed to be an expert in dealing with merchandise. The watermelon in the dish is clearly fresh. Can't you even distinguish this?"

Hearing the other person speak to him like that, Ye Liuyun wasn't polite when he responded: "Wang Er Gou, why are you butting in when I'm speaking? The crap you do... if it weren't for your big brother, you would have been shot eight hundred times over."

It was strange that in Thompson's circle of friends, families with only one son generally raised them quite well. In contrast, those with two or more sons, except for the eldest son, did not raise the other sons well. Ye Liuyun was regarded as the neighbor's kid among that group of younger brothers.

So a strange phenomenon appeared. The fathers were friends who had gone through life and death together, and the eldest sons got along well. However, from the second son downward, everyone disliked the others and occasionally tripped each other up.

Kyle was idling away his time in logistics. In a transaction you know, under normal circumstances the relationship between the two families was pretty good. Although Kyle wouldn't actively help, he wasn't supposed to intentionally cause trouble either.

Actually, Kyle didn't want to meddle originally. However, the afternoon before, when his family compared him to Ye Liuyun, Kyle was so angry that he replaced 30% of the merchandise with subpar goods. This immediately put Ye Liuyun at a disadvantage.

However, Kyle also was measured, only ensuring that Ye Liuyun didn't reach his expected profit, not that he suffered a loss.

But for Ye Liuyun, not making a profit was equivalent to a loss. Thus, the feud between the two was born.

Normally, if one was selling materials and the other was purchasing materials, and if the two were hostile, the one purchasing would definitely be out of luck. After all, the seller could sell to whoever they wanted.

However, due to the relationship between the two families and some special reasons, outsiders couldn't intervene in this kind of transaction. Therefore, the relationship between the two deteriorated with each subsequent transaction.
