Chapter 71 Are You That Ye Feng?
The night passed without incident, and early the next morning, Pang Youze, accompanied by Luo Keque, came to the door, expressing their intention to invite Ye Feng out for morning tea.
"Mr. Ye, I received a phone call from the hospital this morning, indicating that our family head is now out of danger. Your life-saving grace will never be forgotten by the Pang Family!"
Having said this, Pang Youze deeply bowed.
Ye Feng, seated in his wheelchair, waved his hand and said, "There's no need for further pleasantries. Just lead the way."
"As you wish, Mr. Ye!" Pang Youze could hardly contain his joy.
He had been unable to sleep the previous night, fretting over the matter, and had suddenly realized that to insist on bestowing gold and silver treasures upon such an extraordinary person would be to fall into cliché, especially since, regardless of the price offered by the Cui Yan family and others the day before, the man had not shown the slightest inclination to accept.
So Pang Youze understood that to move and befriend such a person, it was best to start with basic human kindness and a heartfelt approach.
Therefore, he had arrived early in the morning to invite him for morning tea, and indeed, just as he had surmised, Mr. Ye had not declined!
Ye Feng was just about to get into the car, when a black limited-edition luxury vehicle suddenly sped towards them, and screeched to a halt with the piercing sound of rubber tires grinding against the pavement.
Two men in tight-fitting clothes leaped from the car before it had even come to a complete stop, showing agility and nimbleness that clearly marked them as martial arts practitioners.
The last person to emerge, clad in opulent attire and corpulent in size, appeared to be what the secular world would term a middle-aged successful businessman.
This middle-aged man alighted from the vehicle, straightened his impeccable suit, cleared his throat, then called out loudly, "Is the Mad Son-in-law of the Hong Family of Jiangdu here?"
When Pang Youze recognized the newcomer, he exclaimed in surprise, "It turns out to be Second Master Jiang of the Jiang Family, what an honor to meet you."
"Pang Youze, since you're here, it seems that the crippled boy called Ye Feng must also be here, right?"
Second Master Jiang of the Jiangnan Province Jiang Family huffed, scanned the crowd, and his gaze suddenly locked onto Ye Feng, "Are you that Ye Feng?"
Ye Feng remained unmoved in his wheelchair, as steady as a mountain, and simply responded, "And who might you be?"
Second Master Jiang sneered, "Who I am is not important. What's important is them two!"
It was then that Ye Feng shifted his gaze to the two tight-clothed men; they were not particularly old, possibly in their early thirties, yet they emanated an exceedingly sharp and compelling air.
Ye Feng was no stranger to that kind of demeanor, for it was indicative of the expert fighters typically cultivated by the Martial Alliance, which he himself had established.
"Members of the Martial Alliance of the Southern River Region Jiangnan?" Ye Feng said with a faint smile.
"Your insight is keen indeed, to recognize our origins at a glance," the two men replied solemnly.
Ye Feng smiled faintly; not only had he discerned their origins, but with his perception heightened, he could see clearly that their strength was at the peak of the Ninth Stage of External Strength, just one step shy of becoming Masters of Inner Force.
Of course, taking that step and ascending to genuinely become a Grandmaster, though only a step away, was by no means an easy feat!
Pang Youze exclaimed, "Members of the Martial Alliance from the Southern River Region Jiangnan? Might I inquire what brings you here?"
Although the Southern River Region Jiangnan had the Four Great Families, the most formidable power naturally belonged to the Martial Alliance, for the alliance brimmed with experts—never mind the Grand Alliance Leader, even just the two Vice Sect Leaders were Huajin Grandmasters.
Furthermore, beneath the two Vice Sect Leaders, there were four instructors who were also of Grandmaster level!
The two members from the Martial Alliance scoffed, "We have come today primarily to seek out the Mad Son-in-law of the Hong Family. Hence, those irrelevant to this matter should not interject. Do you understand?"
Pang Youze dared not speak further; his Pang Family, merely a second-tier family in the Southern River Region Jiangnan, was not bold enough to offend the Martial Alliance of Southern River Region Jiangnan.
"Mad Son-in-law of the Hong Family, Ye Feng, it is said that you broke the limbs of Jiang Tianhu, the second son of the Jiang Family, last night. Is there any truth to this?" the two high-ranking members of the Martial Alliance pressed with a forceful tone.
Ye Feng nodded and said, "This matter is indeed true."
"You brat dare to admit it, that's even better!"
Second Master Jiang snorted coldly, "This damned Mad Son-in-law of the Hong Family, not only did he cripple my grandson, but he also brazenly killed a member of our clan at Jiangdu's martial arts hall a while ago, and ruined my elder brother's grandson Jiang Tianlong. This is utterly heinous!"
Two members of the Martial Alliance sneered, "Ye Feng, is what Second Master Jiang just said true?"
Ye Feng nodded again, "It's true."
"Very well, since you are willing to admit it, that's even better!"
The two Martial Alliance experts waved their hands grandly, "Now, you come with us. Our Martial Alliance coach has specifically asked to see you!"
Ye Feng suddenly laughed and said, "A mere coach. If he wants to see me, why doesn't he come to visit me personally?"
Before the two Martial Alliance experts could speak, Jiang Feihe, the Deputy Family Head of the Jiang Family, bellowed angrily, "Impudence! You simply have no idea how high the sky is or how deep the earth is. What status does a Martial Alliance coach have that he should come to visit you? Aren't you afraid of shortening your life?"
Ye Feng, already too lazy to pay attention to these small fry, gestured towards Pang Youze, "Where are we having morning tea? Lead the way, will you?"
At this moment, Pang Youze was still frozen in place because he couldn't imagine that Mr. Ye would actually dare to reject the invitation of the Martial Alliance coach, even saying that the coach should personally come to visit him.
Such words would have surely been too presumptuous even for the Four Great Family Heads of Southern River Region Jiangnan!
But Luo Keque was the first to react and said, "We've arranged for morning tea at the Elegant Pavilion in Southern River Region Jiangnan. The environment there is tranquil. Please, Mr. Ye."
"How dare you!"
The two Martial Alliance experts were furious and spelled it out clearly, "Ye, you actually dare to defy our Martial Alliance coach. He, the distinguished one, specifically wanted to see you to mediate the grudge between you and the Jiang Family. You don't know what's good for you, do you realize the trouble you've gotten yourself into?"
Ye Feng's brows furrowed as he said, "Two mad dogs barking at me early in the morning. Seventeen, slap them, break their teeth."
"Understood!" Seventeen moved immediately, pouncing forward like a ferocious tiger.
"Ye, you dare..."
The two Martial Alliance experts roared in anger, but their following words were cut off as Seventeen had already reached them.
Although these two were at the Peak of the Ninth Stage of External Strength and not far from Grandmaster level, they had no chance to fight back against Seventeen.
With two thuds, each of the men received a punch in the mouth, and more than half of their teeth were broken off, leaving their mouths full of fresh blood.
Jiang Feihe, witnessing this scene, couldn't help but roar, "Ye, you dare to attack a member of the Martial Alliance of Southern River Region Jiangnan. You're finished, you're truly finished this time. Not even a Great Luo Immortal descending to Earth could save you!"
"What an ignorant fool. I don't even put the Martial Alliance of Southern River Region Jiangnan in my eyes, and you, a mere Deputy Family Head of the Jiang Family, also dare to yell in front of me?"
This time, Seventeen acted again without waiting for Ye Feng's command, and with just a punch and a slap, Jiang Feihe's legs were broken, and he immediately fell to the ground, wailing like a dying dog.
Ye Feng didn't even glance at the three as he instructed Hong Qingyan to push his wheelchair and slowly walked to the vehicle before getting into the car without any rush.
As the car door was yet to be closed, Ye Feng's indifferent voice came out, "If the people from the Martial Alliance of Southern River Region Jiangnan want to see me, tell them to come... oh right, the place for morning tea..."
"Morning tea is at the Elegant Pavilion in Southern River Region Jiangnan, Mr. Ye!" Luo Keque hastily said.
"Then let him come to the Elegant Pavilion in Southern River Region Jiangnan. Listen carefully, tell the Martial Alliance of Southern River Region Jiangnan this. I don't like to be disturbed while I'm eating breakfast. If that coach wants to visit, let him wait outside until I'm done eating before he can come in!"
As Ye Feng finished speaking, the car door closed slowly, and then the vehicle drove off in the distance.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
