Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

The same is true for this beautiful woman before us. She looks young, but in fact, she is about the same age as Liu Ruoshi. Back in the day, she was Liu Ruoshi's personal maid, and now she is in charge of this secret base, possessing the third level of the Tianyuan realm.

"Grandma Mei, please don't be so formal with me. Just call me Yue'er," Wang Yue said with great respect for this senior who had dedicated decades to the Wang family without even managing to start her own family.

Liu Mei didn't hold back either. With a smile, she asked, "Just now, the young lady sent word that you were coming. Is there something special?" By "the young lady," she meant Liu Ruoshi; they had always called her that since they were young, and it had become second nature to them.

Wang Yue looked around and said, "Let's talk inside."

Liu Mei nodded and led the two of them into a rather impressive room inside the factory. She then pressed a button on the wall, which looked no different from any other part of the wall.

After a moment, a door slowly opened in the inner wall of the room, revealing a passage inside.

The three of them entered the door and descended a set of stairs.

Once the door behind them closed, Wang Yue said while walking, "Grandma Mei, I came here today for his sake."

He then pointed at Li Gang, who was following closely behind him.

"His sake?" Liu Mei frowned. It was difficult to tell how skilled a martial artist was without using their abilities, but it was quite easy to tell whether someone was a martial artist or not.

The person behind Wang Yue, although tall and strong and looking very imposing, was not a martial artist at all. So Liu Mei didn't understand why Wang Yue had brought him along.

"Grandma Mei, Li Gang may not be a martial artist yet, but he is a super genius in the field of external martial arts," Wang Yue said, trusting Liu Mei completely and so telling her about Li Gang's abilities.

After hearing this, Liu Mei's beautiful eyes lit up with excitement. She said happily, "That's great! We have many external martial arts techniques at our disposal, including one that belongs to the upper tier of the Earth realm. We've just been unable to find the right person to use it, but now it can finally come in handy."

Wang Yue wasn't surprised at all by the existence of an upper-tier Earth realm external martial art technique in their family.

Practicing external martial arts was completely different from practicing internal martial arts. There were no external martial arts techniques in this world—at least not yet. To practice them, one had to constantly train their body to make it stronger and stronger, eventually reaching the level of a martial artist.

However, this method of training was extremely grueling and produced very slow results. Therefore, the path of "body cultivation" was not very popular in this era. Even those with extremely strong perseverance who practiced body cultivation could only reach the level of a martial artist at the Qi cultivation realm; no one who was stronger than that existed.

Moreover, external martial arts techniques relied purely on brute strength and did not involve the use of true energy. So, not to mention upper-tier Earth realm techniques, even those at the Heaven realm were not particularly valuable.

What sets Li Gang apart from ordinary geniuses is that whenever he gets injured, his physique becomes even stronger after recovery. What was once just an ordinary person has, after that car accident, developed a physical strength that is now on par with that of warriors at the Body Tempering realm. Even if there is still some difference, it is minimal.

If that were all there was to it, Li Gang would merely be considered an ordinary genius. After all, recovering from an injury takes time—each injury might require several months of recuperation before his physical strength increases slightly, making his progress far slower than that of a warrior.

But what makes Li Gang truly extraordinary is his astonishing ability to absorb the effects of medicinal substances. With an adequate supply of rare herbs, injuries that would normally take months to heal can be restored in just one night. As a result, when it comes to practicing external martial arts, his progress is hundreds of times faster than that of an ordinary person.

The only downside is that he constantly has to injure himself, which requires an extremely strong willpower to endure. However, Wang Yue believes Li Gang is capable of doing it.

That's why Wang Yue brought him here—so that the warriors of the Wang family could constantly help Li Gang train his body.

"Third Young Master has arrived! Everyone on all levels, come and pay your respects immediately!" As soon as they entered the underground space, Liu Mei spoke up. Her powerful aura, derived from her cultivation at the Tianyuan realm, instantly filled the entire space, allowing everyone on all six levels to hear her clearly.

Soon, members of the Wang family's hidden martial arts team arrived—one after another, including men, women, and children. They all greeted Wang Yue, and he responded to each of them.

A few minutes passed, and no one else arrived. Wang Yue's brows furrowed. If he wasn't mistaken, there were a total of 102 warriors secretly trained by the Wang family in this base. It was daytime, so theoretically, all of them should be here.

Yet, only about fifty of them had shown up—nearly half of the total had not arrived.

Wang Yue wasn't one to care about such formalities. Even if Liu Mei hadn't called everyone together, he wouldn't have minded. But now, despite Liu Mei's efforts, nearly half of the people still hadn't shown up.

What does this indicate? It shows that these people simply don't take him, the third young master, seriously at all.

If this had happened three years ago, it might have been understood as a power struggle among the different branches of the family, with the members of the other two branches refusing to show respect to him as the second young master.

But now, the situation is different: in the entire Wang family, there is only Wang Yue left as a male heir. He represents the future of the Wang family. To refuse to show respect for Wang Yue is, in essence, to show that the Wang family itself doesn't matter at all.
