Urban Cultivation: Starting with Winning Back My Wife and Daughter

After staying at the old man's house for two days, the two brothers, Wang Xingyu and Wang Yuefeng, returned to Xingyun City.

Less than a week later, Wang Yuefeng called Wang Xingyu and said that Li Qingqing had agreed to be his girlfriend.

Using the excuse of moving, Wang Xingyu asked Wang Yuefeng to bring Li Qingqing to his housewarming party.

Internet celebrities and stars are similar; many of them are not very down-to-earth.

Fortunately, Li Qingqing is a good person.

He was polite, warm, and generous in his dealings with others. Judging from his appearance, he seemed like the kind of person who knew how to manage a household. Wang Xingyu nodded to himself inwardly.

Time flies, and more than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

In a courtyard in Japan, Masaki Okada was sitting with Doji Saito, drinking tea.

With only one week left until the decisive battle with Sun Qinglong, Okada Masaki wanted to check on Saito Doji's preparations.

This battle is crucial to the morale of the Japanese martial arts community, and Okada Masaki cannot afford to take it lightly.

"Mr. Saito, how confident are you in defeating Son Seong-ryong?"

Masaki Okada took a sip of tea and asked calmly.

A glint flashed in Saito Doji's eyes. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "I have never met Sun Qinglong, so I don't know how skilled he is. I can only say that I have great confidence in myself."

Okada Masaki nodded and said, "That's good. Mr. Saito, I plan to change the location of your final battle."

Saito Doji frowned and asked, "Why?"

Okada Masaki said, "Because Wei Yingfeng of Annam is from Xia. It's unfair to you to have a fight on his territory."

Okada Masaki's previous plan was that no matter who won between Saito Doji and Sun Qinglong, he would find a way to kill Sun Qinglong and take down Wei Yingfeng in the process.

But it's different now.

Wei Yingfeng has Wang Zheng, the number one martial arts master in the world, overseeing things.

It is virtually impossible to accomplish both of these tasks.

What saddened Okada Masaki the most was the death of the Sakura Group's top fighters in Annam.

In less than half a year, more than twenty innate masters have been killed.

Even Kobayakawa Jin, the all-powerful pope of the Shinching Church, was dead. Okada Masaki had absolutely no confidence in the mission to kill Sun Qinglong and Wei Yingfeng, which is why he proposed changing the location of the decisive battle.

Saito Doji said, "No. Mr. Okada, in a duel between masters, momentum is key. If we change the location before the battle has even begun, it will make everyone think I'm cowardly before the fight even starts, which will be very disadvantageous for me."

Okada Masaki sighed; he had long expected Saito Doji to say that.

As a martial arts master, Masaki Okada knew very well that changing the time and place at this critical juncture was definitely not a good idea.

He was just doing his duty.

Okada Masaki said, "Alright, our original plan remains unchanged. We will head to Annam the day after tomorrow."

Saito Doji said, "Thank you. Mr. Okada, is it true that Pope Kobaka was killed after losing a magical duel?"

Masaki Okada nodded and said, "It's true."

Saito Doji immediately became interested and asked, "Who is that person? He actually managed to defeat Pope Kobayashi."

Okada Masaki said, "Wang Zheng, who is hailed as the greatest martial artist in the world."

Saito Doji's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he said, "Xia Kingdom is indeed a land of outstanding people and abundant resources. Mr. Saito, haven't you considered sending experts from the Qingshen Sect to Annam to work for you?"

Okada Masaki remained noncommittal, saying, "Mr. Saito, you have only one task: to defeat Sun Qinglong. If you can kill him, that would be even better. You don't need to concern yourself with other people or matters."

"clear."

Saito Doji nodded, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then said goodbye and left.

Half an hour later, an elderly man in his sixties, with a gloomy face and a thin figure, walked into the courtyard.

This person was none other than Zong Yu and Ye Jianwu, the vice-leaders of the Qingshen Sect.

He was a disciple of Jin Kobayakawa and served as the head of the Seishin Church for twelve years.

It could be said that Jin Kobayakawa was the spiritual leader of the Seishin Cult, while the actual controller was Kengo Uwano.

"Mr. Yuhe, haven't you elected a new pope yet?"

Logically speaking, Kengo Uwano is the most qualified person in the Seishin Church to ascend to the papacy.

However, intelligence indicates that the Qing Dynasty has not yet held a ceremony to certify the succession of the pope.

This surprised Masaki Okada, who couldn't understand what Kengo Uwano was planning.

Kengo Uwano sat cross-legged opposite Doji Saito and said in a deep voice, "As long as Wang Zheng is alive, the Qingshen Cult will never produce a new pope."

Okada Masaki's eyes lit up, and he said, "Killing Wang Zheng won't be an easy task for you."

Kengo Uwano said, "Wang Zheng is related to Wei Yingfeng. The Elders' Council has decided to send all the top experts in the sect, led by me, to Annam."

Masaki Okada said, "I think we can cooperate."

Kengo Uwano asked, "How do we cooperate?"

Okada Masaki said, "Seven days later, Sun Qinglong and Saito Doji will have a martial arts contest in Annam. We have already contacted the intelligence organization of the United States and will take advantage of this contest to kill Wei Yingfeng. And to kill Wei Yingfeng, we must kill Wang Zheng, so our goals overlap."

Kengo Uwano asked, "What are your plans?"

Okada Masaki smiled wryly and said, "No. Wang Zheng's whereabouts are unpredictable, and his mental strength is extremely powerful, making assassination virtually impossible."

Kengo Yu shook his head and said, "It's not impossible. Our Qing Shen Sect has a formation called the Bagua Formation, created by Patriarch Kobayashi. When a person is inside the formation, they can conceal their killing intent. No matter how strong Wang Xingyu's mental power is, it won't be of much use."

If Wang Xingyu heard what Yu and Kengo said here, he would laugh himself to death.

Previously, Kuru had set up this kind of Bagua formation. Although it concealed their aura, their figures could not escape Wang Xingyu's divine sense search at all, and the final result was naturally that they were all wiped out.

Because they were wiped out, the news didn't get out, so Kengo Uwano and Masaki Okada were unaware of what was happening inside.

Okada Masaki said, "If that's the case, then that's great. Let's find Wang Zheng and take him down."

Kengo Yu said, "I think this 'Number One Martial Arts Master in the World,' Wang Zheng, is very likely Wang Xingyu."

Okada Masaki raised an eyebrow and said, "Why do you think that?"

Kengo Yu said in a deep voice: "First, Wang Xingyu has the cultivation to defeat a half-step Tongtian Realm expert; second, he knows magic techniques, just like Wang Zheng, and belongs to the dual cultivation of magic and martial arts; third, his relationship with Wei Yingfeng is extremely close."

Okada Masaki nodded and said, "Even if Wang Zheng is Wang Xingyu's incarnation, there's nothing we can do. Because Wang Xingyu is in Xingyun City, Xia Country, there are cameras everywhere, making it impossible for our people to move an inch there. To confirm the relationship between Wang Zheng and Wang Xingyu, I will send someone to Xingyun City to observe Wang Xingyu. If Wang Zheng is in Annam, and he happens to have left the country, then your speculation is correct. Conversely, it proves you are wrong."

Kengo Uwano hummed in agreement, picked up his teacup, and said, "It's a pleasure working with you."

Okada Masaki also picked up his teacup, clinked it against his, and said, "It's a pleasure working with you."

Kengo Uwano was well aware of his master Jin Kobayakawa's strength.

Even he was defeated by Wang Zheng, which is enough to show that Wang Zheng's cultivation level has reached an incredible level.

To ensure the success of the operation, Kengo Uwano sought out Shinichi Kamiya, an Onmyoji who had previously fought against Wang Zheng.

After Kobayakawa Jin's death, Shinichi Ueko became the greatest Onmyoji in Japan, reaching the pinnacle of his status and influence in the Japanese religious world.

Upon learning that Yu and Kengo were planning to kill Wang Zheng, Shinichi's expression instantly turned serious.

"Wang Zheng is the most outstanding master I have ever seen. If it were a life-or-death battle, I probably wouldn't even be able to withstand three of his moves. Mr. Yuhe, I don't see any reason for me to take this risk with you."

"Missionary work."

"What?"

"If you can help us kill Wang Zheng, you will be a benefactor to our Qing Shen Church. Our Qing Shen Church and the Japanese government will allow you to establish and preach the religion in our country."

Shang Gu Zhenyi suddenly stood up and said, "Are you serious?"

Kengo Uwano solemnly stated, "Absolutely no exaggeration."

The Ancient True Daoist said, "Alright, I agree."

Kengo Uwano finally smiled.

With the help of the ancient master Shinichi, a grandmaster of Yin-Yang arts, along with the three Yin-Yang masters of their Qing Shen Sect and a group of kung fu experts, Kengo Uwano was confident that he could defeat Wang Zheng.

......

A detached garden villa in Nebula City

Wang Xingyu was sitting on a recliner, basking in the sun.

Next to it was a rosewood coffee table with a teapot and several teacups on it.

Yu Haibo entered, led by the housekeeper Wu Xiufang.

Seeing Wang Xingyu's lazy demeanor, Yu Haibo looked on with envy and said, "Mr. Wang, you're living a very comfortable life."

Wang Xingyu opened his eyes, pointed to the recliner next to him, invited him to sit down, then poured him a cup of tea and said, "Tianyu Technology Group's valuation has exceeded 100 billion. You are now a bona fide billionaire. If you want to live like me, it's not difficult at all."

Yu Haibo smiled wryly and said, "You have a broad mind and regard fame and fortune as fleeting clouds, while I can't compare to you. My heart is too small, and I really can't let go of Tianyu Technology Group."

Wang Xingyu chuckled and said, "Social development and technological progress depend on ambitious people like you. If everyone were like me, humanity would probably still be in the primitive society."

After exchanging a few words, Wang Xingyu said, "Old Yu, you wouldn't come here without a reason. So, has there been any major change at the company?"

Yu Haibo nodded and said, "Mr. Wang, we've discussed it and we plan to seek external financing."

Today, Tianyu Technology Group is the most famous and promising company in the Xia Kingdom's business circle. After its first batch of smart toys were launched on the market, they sold like hotcakes.

To date, Tianyu Intelligent Toys has sold over two million units, generating over 15 billion yuan in profits, with demand exceeding supply.

Not only domestic businesses, but also many foreign businesses have come to discuss cooperation, and orders have been booked up for a year.

In order to expand production and increase R&D investment, Yu Haibo and his team decided to seek financing.

Wang Xingyu asked, "What price? How much are you planning to raise?"

Yu Haibo confidently stated, "The valuation is 120 billion, and the financing is 60 billion."

Wang Xingyu looked at Yu Haibo, his eyes deep, and said, "No matter what, my 30% share cannot change. According to the agreement, I can still raise another 10%, right?"

Yu Haibo's expression changed slightly. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "Mr. Wang, could you..."

"cannot."

Wang Xingyu straightened up, his gaze sharp as a knife, staring intently into Yu Haibo's eyes, and said, "Old Yu, ask yourself honestly, besides your talent and ability, hasn't my funding played a significant role in bringing Tianyu Technology Group to where it is today?"

Yu Haibo pursed his lips and said, "Yes."

Wang Xingyu said, "I support all your decisions. I have never interfered with your management of the company. In fact, I have visited the headquarters of Tianyu Technology Group less than five times in total. I dare say that as an investor, you can search the entire business world, and you will hardly find anyone like me."

Why? Because of two words: trust.

"Old Yu, trust is the foundation of our cooperation. If you violate the agreement and try to take my shares, then the trust between us will be completely destroyed, which will be extremely detrimental to the development of Tianyu Technology Group."

Yu Haibo said with a wry smile, "Mr. Wang, our cooperation has been very pleasant. It's a blessing for us entrepreneurs to have an investor like you. It's just that you have too many shares, which those investment institutions think is very unhealthy."

Wang Xingyu coldly replied, "Bullshit. This is just an excuse they made up to get more shares. Lao Yu, don't you think so too?"

Yu Haibo quickly replied, "Of course not."

Wang Xingyu gave him a deep look and said, "Let's go by the agreement. I'll take 40%, and I'll pay whatever I'm owed. If they have any objections, then we shouldn't raise the funds. I'll make up the difference for the company. It's only 60 billion; it's not like I can't come up with the money."

"Once the intelligent robot developed by Tianyu Technology Group goes online, there will definitely be a second round of financing. I can sell 10% of the shares to the person or institution you designate, on the condition that the valuation is not less than 300 billion."

"Once Tianyu Technology Group goes public, I will sell 20% of the shares at the appropriate time, ultimately retaining only 10%."

"What do you think?"

Yu Haibo nodded and said, "Okay."

Wang Xingyu said, "You don't need to worry about the management of the group. With my personality, I'm no threat to you. What I just said will be put into a written agreement, which I'll send to you tomorrow. You can take this agreement with you to give those financing institutions an explanation."

Yu Haibo said, "Thank you, Mr. Wang."

Wang Xingyu smiled and said, "Let's have some tea."

Half an hour later, Yu Haibo left.

Wang Xingyu shook his head and sighed.

He had previously discerned from Yu Haibo's appearance that this young man would become a super-rich man in the future, with assets no less than those of the four major families in Xingyun City. Therefore, he invested a lot of money to help him make Tianyu Technology Group bigger and stronger.

Wang Xingyu suspected there were problems with their collaboration. Putting aside everything else, the shareholding he held was a thorn in the side for any entrepreneur.

The more successful an entrepreneur is, the less they can tolerate their hard-earned company being taken over by others.

This is human nature, and has nothing to do with morality or character.

What disappointed Wang Xingyu was that he had fallen out with Yu Haibo too soon.

He has only achieved initial success, and the long march is only halfway done. It is incredibly foolish of him to be so eager to drive out his most important investor.

"Honey, where's Mr. Yu? Didn't you say you were going to invite him to dinner at home?"

Lin Yuxi came out and asked in surprise.

"Eat my ass."

Wang Xingyu said angrily, "This guy is here to cause trouble."
