Hearing what Ye Zhang Qing said, everyone's expression changed.

Yao Tian Hao, Kong Juncheng were not hooligans from the streets.

As the leader of the martial arts world, which one of them was not a dominating figure, or even one that could shake the entire Jiangnan Province?

In terms of power, background, and ability, they were all the most powerful figures in the martial arts world.

Especially regarding the background, it was extremely solid.

All of the subordinate forces had infiltrated every single part of the people, making them the real local tyrants. Even the powerful nobles who crossed the river were not willing to provoke them.

Since so many heads of the martial world respected this Master Ye, then this Master Ye must be the boss of all the heads of the martial arts world in the 21 counties of the Jiang Nan province.

Ordinary people might feel that these things were very far away from them, but people like Yang Haitao and Shen Longfei, who were born merchants and officials, clearly knew how powerful these gangs were once they were joined.

It could be said that in all parts of Jiangnan, almost all the entertainment areas, transportation, civil engineering, mortgage gambling and so on, were controlled by these Jianghu people.

If anyone could integrate all of these forces, they could become one of the top figures in Jiangnan in a single leap. Even a powerful clan like the Fan family, which had the support of a royal family, would be able to do this.

”No wonder someone said that Liu Zhen An from Jiangbei and Master Ye from Jiangnan.” Shen Longfei seemed to have thought of something as he said, ”These two people can both be considered to be influential figures in the southern part of the Tang Kingdom.”

”I have never heard of Master Ye, but Liu Zhenan is a famous man who has been around for decades.” Aunt Ye suddenly interrupted.

”Mom, you know Liu Zhenan?” Ye Yanran was surprised.

”Of course I know. That Liu Zhenan is from Yu Hang.” Aunt Ye laughed, ”What? Have you forgotten that your grandfather's family is in Yuhang? Twenty years ago, your grandfather brought me to visit him in Yu Hang City. ”
