"Brother! What was that move you
used against Wang Lin called? It's
so strong. Super cool!"
On the road back, Ye Xueyi
continuously talked excitedly. Since
she was little, she had wished that
her brother would get rid of his
nickname as a trash. Today, her
wish had finally come true.
Ye Zifeng casually explained, "In
the Qi Refining realm, utilizing
your qi energy efficiently is the key
to winning any battle. It doesn't
matter how much qi one has or how
strong is one's qi, if they cannot
use it correctly in battle, it is
useless. If you give a child a
priceless treasure sword, they
might not be able to harm anyone.
On the other hand, if you give an
expert a bamboo stick, they can
easily massacre an army.
"So then what you mean is that
Wang Lin is a child while you,
brother Zifeng is an expert?" Ye
Xueyi was startled. This was the
first time she had heard her
brother talk about martial arts.
Ye Zifeng only smiled, "I'm only
using an example." From his point
of view, Wang Lin didn't have no
priceless treasure sword and he
wasn't using no bamboo stick
either.1
"Brother, I feel like you've
completely changed as a person!"
Ye Zifeng chuckled, "Then do you
think that I've changed for the
good or for the bad?"
"Of course it's for the good! Back
then you're always being bullied by
others. It makes me worry for you
everyday. Now, I can relax a bit."
Ye Zifeng felt warmth in his heart.
He can see that his sister has a lot
of talent. If it wasn't for the fact
that she's been worrying about
that other Ye Zifeng and delayed
her training, she would have
probably reached the Martial
Disciple realm and have her own
Martial Spirit already.
The two people laughed and joked
as they walked home. Without
realizing it, they had already
reached the doors to their house.
"Young master, Young miss, where
have you been? This old servant Du
has been waiting for you guys the
entire day!" Housekeeper Du had
been standing by the doors waiting
for them to return since the
afternoon.
Ye Xueyi looked at the sky, and was
confused, "Housekeeper Du, it's
not that late. Didn't father say
that we have an important dinner
at night? It shouldn't be time yet."
Housekeeper Du hurriedly explained,
"It seems like the master haven't
talk to you guys yet. He has
something to do so he won't be able
to be here tonight."
Ye Zifeng smiled, "Really? If
that's so then I won't attend the
dinner tonight either."
Housekeeper Du quickly blocked
Zifeng's path, "You can't do that.
You're the main character of
tonight's dinner! The Liu clan's
second miss, Liu Ningzi was
engaged to you even before you
were born! The master invited the
Liu clan here tonight to talk about
the wedding."
"What?!?" Both Ye Zifeng and Ye
Xueyi yelled out in surprise.
"When was brother engaged? How
come I don't know about it?"
"I'm engaged with someone? How
come I don't know about it
myself?" Ye Zifeng couldn't stay
calm at all. He wanted to marry
someone that he liked. As an
orphan in his past life, he didn't
have any problems regarding
arranged marriages.
Housekeeper Du laughed bitterly,
"Let's go to the hall first. The
master isn't here and the Liu clan
has been waiting. If we're any
slower, it will cause problems."
Ye Zifeng could only nod and
quickly followed housekeeper Du
with Ye Xueyi.
As expected, when they entered the
hall, it was already filled with
people. Not only was the entire Ye
clan present, but there were three
people from the Liu clan here.
There was a peerless beauty
standing in the middle of the hall.
Her light colored dress floated as
she walked across the hall, giving
off a natural sense of beauty.
Next to her was a finely dressed
young man holding a gold treasure
sword. He looked very arrogant as
if everyone else was beneath him.
Behind them was an old man. He
was standing in the shadows, giving
off the aura of an expert.
Ye Zifeng could see that without Ye
Chongtian, the entire atmosphere
of the clan was a bit rigid.
"Is that Ye Zifeng coming or not?
Liu Ningzi and I have been waiting
for quite a while now. Our Liu clan
is very busy you know!" The young
man was very impatient and yelled
out.
Without Ye Chongtian, no one would
dare talk back to the young man.
Housekeeper Du wanted to say a
few words, but he was not a
member of the Ye family. He was
asking for it if he opened his
mouth.
"The people of your Liu clan can be
busy but the people of our Ye
family can't?" Ye Xueyi yelled back
as she walked in with Ye Zifeng.
"You!" The young man wanted to
curse, but Ye Xueyi wasn't someone
that he could offend. She was the
most beloved and talented person in
the entire Ye clan. Since he's at
the Ye clan's estate, he can't do
whatever he wants. He looked
around and can already feel dozen
pairs of eyes staring at him.
"You're Ye Zifeng?" Liu Ningzi
looked at Zifeng. Seeing how weak
and fragile his body was, her eyes
showed a hint of disgust.
"It is I." Ye Zifeng calmly replied.
In these few days, he had already
experienced many looks of disgust
due to his nickname as a trash.
"You've come at the right time."
Liu Ningzi said coldly. "Even if the
Ye clan's master isn't here, the
reason I came here was for you."
"If you have something to say, say
it now. Don't beat around the
bush." Ye Zifeng was not amused.
"Fine. Then let's talk about our
engagement." Saying that,
everyone who was in the hall's face
changed.
Liu Ningzi smiled and looked at
everyone, "Ye Zifeng and I were
engaged twenty years ago, even
before we were born. At that time,
the Ye clan still had great power
and was still considered one of
Leizhou City's three great clans.
But now,….." She chuckled, "Now,
after giving birth to this trash Ye
Zifeng, the Ye clan has fallen. I'm
afraid that the Ye clan isn't even
considered a large clan anymore."
Tang Feng coldly rebutted, "It's
not up to you to decide whether the
Ye clan is a large clan or not!"
Tang Feng had been in the Ye
family for many years now and
have already considered it to be her
home. Plus, her relationship with Ye
Zifeng had improved in the past
few days. While helping the Ye clan,
she also put up a few good words
for Ye Zifeng so she would get
some more benefits from him.
Housekeeper Du pulled Tang Feng
over to the side and apologetically
smiled, "Miss Liu, about the
engagement…. We should talk
about it over the banquet tonight."
Seeing how the master had asked
him to watch over the banquet
tonight, housekeeper Du could only
swallow his anger and make sure
nothing happens. This was because
if Liu Ningzi marries into the Ye
family, the Ye family would receive
help from then and once again rise
in power.
Liu Ningzi coldly smiled, "No need.
The reason Yige and I came early
wasn't for the banquet. It was to
make things clear."
(TL: Yige is probably the young
man.)
Having experience from his previous
life, Ye Zifeng knew what Liu
Ningzi was talking about about. She
looked down on the Ye family and
wanted to part ways with them.
"Just say what you want now.
Don't waste everyone's time by
beating around the bush." Ye
Zifeng replied.
Liu Ningzi continued to smile,
"Then I wanna ask young master
Ye if we can cancel our
engagement?"
Once she said this, everyone was
shocked.
Housekeeper Du was afraid that the
master would blame him for this and
apologetically said, "Miss Liu, could
it be that someone from the Ye
family have offended you any any
way and caused a misunderstanding?
You can tell me about it and we will take care of anything."
"No. There isn't a
misunderstanding. I'm saying this
clearly. I want to cancel the
engagement. If you don't
understand what I'm saying, maybe
I should write down these words
for you."
A woman who took the initiative to
cancel an engagement would means
that the woman had divorced the
man. Once this news spreads in
Leizhou city, Ye Zifeng would lose
all his face. He wouldn't even be
able to go out of his room anymore
from all the embarassment.
Ye Zifeng shook his head, "Miss
Liu, you say that we have an
engagement but I'll ask you this,
where is the engagement contract?
"The contract is…..it's….." Liu
Ningzi couldn't respond. She only
heard about this from her father
just a few days ago. Once she
heard that it was with the trash Ye
Zifeng, she immediately came over
to cancel the engagement without
asking for the details. She didn't
even know if there was a written
contract or not."
Ye Zifeng continued to shake his
head, "If there is no contract then
it's obviously a joke between the
two clan masters from twenty
years ago. And to think that you
would actually believe it. What
engagement are you canceling
here? Unless….. You came to the
Ye clan to make trouble out of
nothing."
Liu Yige couldn't hold it in anymore
and yelled out, "You trash of Ye
clan, who do you think you are. How
dare you speak to my junior sister
apprentice like that?"
Ye Zifeng coldly smiled and
rebutted, "Junior sister
apprentice? So that's the
relationship that you guys have.
You're not even an official member
of the Liu clan and you still dare to
make a scene in the Ye clan?"
Ye Zifeng was right. His statement
hit Liu Yige in a soft spot. He was
adopted by the Liu clan, so he
basically had no status.
Liu Yige could not find the words to
fight back and thus relied on his
strength, "Ye Zifeng, are you
looking to die? You're nothing but
an ant to me and you still dare talk
back to me?"
Who knows how many times Ye
Zifeng have heard this phrase
after crossing over. A hint of
anger flashed in his eyes and he
noted down this man called Liu
Yige. When he returns to the peak
of the world, he will definitely step
on this guy.
Liu Ningzi couldn't hold it in
anymore either and yelled out,
"Now listen Ye Zifeng, even if my
senior brother is not a part of the
Liu clan, he is already a sixth qi
refining stage expert. Compared to
you, a second qi refining stage,
someone who will never awaken
their martial spirit kind of trash,
he his infinitely better than you."
"Calling someone who is in the sixth
qi refining stage an expert? Are
you trying to make me laugh my
a** off?"
Ye Chen, Ye Zifeng's uncle looked
over at him, "Okay stop stalking.
You're a trash in the second qi
refining stage, you don't have the
qualifications to talk with them.
You can go back to your cellar and
we'll take care of business here."
His second uncle, Ye Chen, was the
one who usually take care of things
in the clan when Ye Chongtian was
absent.
"Yeah. The people from the Liu clan
are right. You're the bad luck
charm of our Ye clan. You've
ruined our entire clan and still
want to talk back to others?" Ye
Huichi looked at Zifeng with and
spoke with a mocking tone.
He is Ye Zifeng's younger cousin.
Although his cultivation was not
high, he was still at the 5th qi
refining realm and would
occasionally go and make fun of
Zifeng.
Watching this, Liu Ningzi was
amused, "Then how about this, we
know that it's rude to suddenly
cancel the engagement and to give
face to your clan, we bought a
special pill over as a gift to make
things even. I hope that this will
compensate for everything."
"Old Wu, bring it out..."
"Yes, second miss." The old man
who was standing in the shadows
coughed and retrieved a black box
from his sleeves and opened it up.
"I'm afraid that you guys have not
seen this pill before. This is a rare
pill called….." Liu Ningzi explained.
At that time, Ye Zifeng blurted
out, "Solid Yuan Pill!"
