Chapter 1593: The Du Family Attacks
Night fell, and in the Ye Family's dining room, Ye Zhengqing and his wife sat around a pearwood round table, along with a seemingly unfriendly middle-aged couple.
Ye Ziyan led Xiao Yifeng inside directly, with Ye Zhengqing looking at Xiao Yifeng with a smile on his face.
"Brother Xiao is here, please take a seat. This meal is specially prepared for you to thank you for rescuing Ziyan and my wife. Ziyan already told me, if not for you, she would have fallen victim to Cao Bin. We're indebted to you!"
Ye Zhengqing spoke as he looked at Xiao Yifeng.
"No need for thanks!"
Xiao Yifeng replied indifferently.
"A mere young lad, why are you being so courteous to him, brother? I suspect his motive for rescuing Ziyan and sister-in-law is not so simple; perhaps he just wants to infiltrate our Ye Family!"
At this point, the man from the coupled middle-aged pair cast a disdainful glance at Xiao Yifeng and snorted coldly.
"Zhengshui, what are you saying? Don't speak nonsense!"
Ye Zhengqing glared at the man, who was his younger brother, Ye Zhengshui, the second lord of the Ye Family.
"Brother, we know nothing about this person's background. His intentions may not be pure. Moreover, he not only injured Cao Bin, but also reportedly injured Miss Du of the Du Family, Du Qianru, in Sihuang City today, and even crippled Young Master Du of the Du Family, Du Wenfeng's arm."
"This has completely offended the Du Family. Du Tianqing certainly won't let this go easily. If this boy continues to stay in our Ye Family, he might cause the Du Family to harbor ill will against us. They have the City Lord backing them!"
Ye Zhengshui said to Ye Zhengqing.
"Second Uncle, Brother Xiao injured the Du siblings only because they were in the wrong first."
Ye Ziyan quickly said to her Second Uncle.
"Ziyan, you're young and naive; don't be misled by certain people!"
Ye Zhengshui said looking at Ye Ziyan.
"Zhengshui, say no more. Brother Xiao is a great benefactor to our Ye Family. As long as he's in the Ye Family, I won't let anything happen to him. If the Cao Family comes looking for trouble, I'll reason with Cao Yan. As for the Du Family, I trust the City Lord won't act recklessly; I'm not afraid of Du Tianqing!"
Ye Zhengqing spoke with a firm and slightly authoritative tone.
"But, brother..."
Ye Zhengshui's expression changed and he was about to speak again but was interrupted by Xiao Yifeng.
"Do you know your chatter is annoying and irritating?"
Xiao Yifeng said to Ye Zhengshui.
"Boy, what do you mean?"
Ye Zhengshui slapped the table and stood up, glaring at Xiao Yifeng.
"If you say one more useless word, I'll make sure you never say another!"
Xiao Yifeng coldly snorted.
"Boy, you..."
At this moment, Ye Zhengshui's wife looked at Xiao Yifeng with an angry and discontented expression.
"Everyone shut up!"
Ye Zhengqing stated with authority, overpowering Ye Zhengshui and his wife's gaze.
"Second Brother, if you two still acknowledge me as your elder brother, sit down and eat properly, otherwise, leave!"
Ye Zhengqing said coldly to the couple.
Their expressions slightly changed and they sat down directly.
"Brother Xiao, I'm sorry!"
Ye Zhengqing apologized to Xiao Yifeng.
"It's fine, I don't bicker with small people!"
Xiao Yifeng smiled gently, instantly causing Ye Zhengshui to want to flare up, but was sent back by a glare from Ye Zhengqing.
The meal ended after half an hour, Xiao Yifeng returned to his room and began cultivation. His strength had reached a bottleneck, making further improvement challenging.
Now, he's focused on researching soul attacks and martial techniques to enhance both, giving him a chance to counter strong ones at the Hollow Void Realm.
Especially soul attacks, if he can execute the Second Style of the Soul Extinguishing Three Styles, he won't fear even the Hollow Void Realm strong ones.
While Xiao Yifeng immersed himself in cultivation to strengthen his prowess, in a room within the Ye Family's compound, Ye Zhengshui and his wife sat.
"Zhengshui, where did that guy come from?"
Ye Zhengshui's wife asked.
"No idea, but his origins are mysterious, his strength is unusual, might cause trouble for us."
Ye Zhengshui replied gravely.
"What should we do?"
Ye Zhengshui's wife's expression changed and asked anxiously.
"Don't worry, I've received Yunxuan's message; he will return to Sihuang City soon, then it'll be time for the Ye Family to change leadership!"
Ye Zhengshui's eyes gleamed with a hint of coldness and a sneer played on his lips.
"Yunxuan is coming back, great! I haven't seen him in years!"
Ye Zhengshui's wife said excitedly.
"This time, I will become the Patriarch of the Ye Family!"
Ye Zhengshui said resolutely with a fierce glint in his eyes.
The next day.
Early morning, a group arrived outside the Ye Family's mansion in Sihuang City. This group was from the Du Family, led by an Opening Spirit Realm expert, and accompanied by over a dozen Gathering Elixir Realm strong ones, with an overwhelming presence.
At this moment, the Du Family's people directly blocked the Ye Family's entrance, exuding a powerful aura, causing the expressions of the two guards outside the Ye Family to immediately change.
"Who are you? What do you want to do?"
The guard said directly to the group.
"I'm here under orders from my Du Family Patriarch to capture the one who harmed our Miss and Young Master. Hand over the offender, or my Du Family won't be polite!"
That person from the Du Family said coldly, with an evil qi on his face, releasing a terrifying aura.
"Quickly notify the Patriarch!"
One of the guards said directly after hearing what the opposite party said, and another guard quickly ran into the Ye Family.
Very soon, the Ye Family was in an uproar; it's the first time that one of the Four Great Families, the Du Family, brought people to blockade the Ye Family and force them to hand over someone.
Ye Zhengqing led his people out of the Ye Family, gazing at the group coldly, "Your Du Family came so early with people to blockade my Ye Family, what do you want?"
"Patriarch Ye, I am here under my Patriarch's order to capture the one who harmed our Young Master and Miss. Please hand over this person to avoid conflict between the two families."
The Opening Spirit Realm expert from the Cao Family said directly to Ye Zhengqing.
"Regarding your Young Master and Miss's incident, I feel regret, but I don't know who you're referring to."
Ye Zhengqing said with a serious tone.
"Patriarch Ye need not disguise it; my Du Family has eyewitnesses who saw that guy enter your Ye Family with your daughter and never leave. So, please hand him over. Otherwise, you'll be an enemy of my Du Family, and we won't be polite then."
The Opening Spirit Realm expert said seriously to Ye Zhengqing.
