Although not aiming for the top of the charts, I still hope for a recommendation.

Wen Feichen's efforts to curry favor with Long Hui naturally had a reason.
Although the Blood Battle Gang's leader, Hu Man, was a formidable hero, he was not blessed by heaven and had no sons, only two beautiful daughters.
In Wen Feichen's view, the vast Blood Battle Gang would eventually fall into the hands of the Long family. It was only natural to get along well with this young master now, so that when the Long family took over the Blood Battle Gang, he would not be without benefits.
After a group of people in the room finished their discussion and were about to rest, a gentle knock came from outside the door.
"Come in!" Wen Feichen called out lightly.
The door opened, and a Blood Battle Gang disciple who was on guard outside walked in, bowed to Long Hui, and then whispered a few words into Wen Feichen's ear.
Wen Feichen's expression immediately became strange, and he muttered, "So that's how it is."
After saying this, he signaled to the people in the room and ordered, "Go, capture those people. We can't let them ruin Young Master Long's big plans."
"Yes!" Several people responded and quickly left the room.
"What happened?" Long Hui asked.
Wen Feichen chuckled, "Young Master Long, this is truly interesting. Do you remember the many hoof prints we saw along the way? But according to the information we received, Yang Kai's group only consisted of two people. At the time, I guessed that the extra hoof prints were just from passersby, but it turns out... there are others tracking Yang Kai besides us!"
"Oh?" Long Hui exclaimed in surprise, "Who are they?"
"A few minor figures from the Stormy Tower. They seem to be preparing to take action against Yang Kai, but they don't seem to know that the woman with Yang Kai is far beyond their capabilities!"
"This is courting death!" Long Hui sneered, "Has Hall Master Wen made the necessary arrangements?"
"Of course, we can't let them ruin Young Master Long's big plans." Wen Feichen nodded slightly, confident.
As they were talking, a group of people suddenly rushed into the room. All the Blood Battle Gang disciples who had gone out returned, along with Nulang and others, who looked panic-stricken.
Nulang and his group were truly terrified. They had only just managed to track here today. They were planning to capture Yang Kai and find out about the disappearance of Nuta and Cheng Shaofeng.
But before they could act, they were captured by a group of fierce and powerful experts.
Nulang was so scared that he wet his pants. After being thrown in, he quickly knelt down and begged for mercy, "Sirs, we haven't offended you, right? Please show mercy!"
"Shut up!" A Blood Battle Gang disciple slapped him, leaving him with a bloody mouth. He dared not speak out of anger and could only obey.
Looking around in fear, the group from the Stormy Tower trembled. Although their strength was not high, they could see that any one of these people could easily kill them, not to mention the seven or eight experts surrounding them.
Who did we offend? The group couldn't figure it out. They hadn't done anything terrible recently, and at most, they had only plotted to capture Yang Kai in the room, but they hadn't even taken action yet. Why such a big fuss?
As Nulang looked around, he suddenly noticed a familiar young man smiling at him.
After a moment's thought, Nulang's face changed dramatically, and he asked tentatively, "Are you Long Hui of the Blood Battle Gang?"
Long Hui smiled lightly, "Do you recognize me?"
Nulang smiled awkwardly, "Descendant of the great Long elder, I have heard of your name and naturally recognize you."
"Since you recognize me, things will be easier." Long Hui nodded slightly.
Nulang was full of doubts. He couldn't understand how he had encountered the Blood Battle Gang's people so far away. Meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign land was a good thing, but the current situation... when under someone's roof, one must bow.
"Tell me, why are you tracking Yang Kai?" Long Hui asked, squinting his eyes.
Nulang's heart skipped a beat. He thought Long Hui was blaming him. Although he was terrified, he didn't dare to hide anything and explained the situation. After finishing, he said with a sad face, "Young Master Long, I only suspected that Yang Kai was involved in my brother's disappearance, but I didn't intend to do anything to him. If you think there's a problem, I'll immediately lead my people back to the Stormy Tower and won't think about Yang Kai anymore."
Long Hui laughed, "Do you think I am friends with Yang Kai?"
"Are you not?" Nulang looked timid.
"Ridiculous!" Long Hui snorted, "What status do I have, and what status does he have? Friends with him? You must be blind!"
Nulang didn't dare to respond, but he was inwardly fuming. If we're not friends, why are you interfering in my affairs? Isn't this like a dog catching a mouse, meddling in other people's business?
"Blind fools, Young Master Long saved your lives, and you don't even know to thank him!" a Blood Battle Gang disciple scolded at the right moment.
Nulang and the others looked bewildered.
The Blood Battle Gang disciple sneered, "You only know that Yang Kai is weak, but do you know that the woman with him is a peak Lihuo Realm expert?"
With these words, sweat poured down Nulang and the others' faces. A peak Lihuo Realm expert was far beyond Nulang's current Qidong Realm level.
If they really fought, that woman alone could wipe out Nulang and his group.
Only then did Nulang realize the gravity of his mistake. He was both terrified and relieved, and he kept bowing, "Thank you, Young Master Long, for saving us. We are deeply grateful!"
The minor figures from the Stormy Tower also hurried to thank him.
"Hmph, just remember that." Long Hui seemed to enjoy the adoration, "I'll tell you, I came here to take Yang Kai's life. But I have to wait a bit longer. Your rash actions almost alerted him and ruined my plans."
"Never mind, I won't hold it against you. Since our target is Yang Kai, you can come with me. Once I capture Yang Kai, you can find out about your brother's whereabouts."
Although Nulang felt uneasy, his group's strength was too low to resist. He nodded, "As Young Master Long commands, we will follow you through fire and water, and we will not hesitate to die!"
"Go back, I'll find you again tomorrow." Long Hui waved his hand.
"Yes!" Nulang and the others got up from the ground and slowly retreated. When they left the room, they realized that their clothes were drenched in sweat.
After they left, Long Hui looked at Wen Feichen with confusion, "Hall Master Wen, why did you bring them along? Their strength is too low, and they could easily expose us. Do you think our group can't kill Yang Kai or capture that woman?"
The words Long Hui had just said were also told to him by Wen Feichen through telepathy. Although he followed the instructions, Long Hui didn't understand the reasoning behind it.
