Chapter 593: Huangfu Qingzhi Pays a Visit!
As the Demoness extended a sincere invitation to Jiang Feng, all the members of the Demon Moon Alliance standing behind her looked eagerly at Jiang Feng, eyes filled with anticipation.
This was akin to the King of Women Country in "Journey to the West", willing to relinquish her noble status for Jiang Feng, just hoping he would stay.
Unfortunately, the next words from Jiang Feng plunged them into endless disappointment!
"I'm not interested."
Jiang Feng said plainly, continuing to step away.
At that moment, the Demoness was somewhat dumbfounded, her face burning with embarrassment, feeling awkward.
She had expected Jiang Feng to decline but did not anticipate such a straightforward rejection, leaving no room for face-saving.
The people from Kong Guyoulan behind looked even more bewildered and disheartened.
The most heartbroken were Dong Ruyan and Shangguan Wan'er!
Shangguan Wan'er indignantly took a step forward, exclaiming, "Hey! Jiang Feng, what do you mean? My mother invited you so sincerely, yet you don't appreciate it? Our Demon Moon Alliance has never had a male Tributor; this position was created especially for you by my mother. Is this how you respond to her?"
"Did I not make myself clear?" Jiang Feng asked coldly.
Shangguan Wan'er hadn't expected Jiang Feng's expression to look even worse as he spoke to her. She was about to say more when the Demoness promptly stepped up and pulled her back!
Then, the Demoness apologized to Jiang Feng with a smile and said, "Young Hero Jiang, don't misunderstand me. I have no intention of coercion towards you. This girl Wan'er has been spoiled by me since childhood and speaks without manners. Please don't take it to heart!"
"If you don't wish to serve as a Tributor for the Demon Moon, I won't force you. But remember, our Demon Moon is willing to share its heart with you in the future. If you need anything, just say the word, and I, the Demoness, will do my utmost, even if it means going through fire and water!"
"I understand, no need." Jiang Feng still showed no expression, turning away and leaving.
"Bastard!!" Shangguan Wan'er was furious, stomping her foot angrily.
She was truly stifled and aggrieved, her goodwill towards Jiang Feng vanishing completely, feeling suffocated by her emotion.
Yet, the Demoness dared not get angry, persuasively adding, "Young Hero Jiang, this is a secluded mountain retreat, and it's not easy for you to walk out. Why not let Ruyan send you? Once you're at the airport in the nearby city, returning to Binhai will not be too late."
This time, Jiang Feng did not refuse, getting directly onto a helicopter.
The Demoness swiftly gestured to Dong Ruyan with her eyes, to be Jiang Feng's pilot and escort him away.
Dong Ruyan was not feeling well at this moment, but she still followed orders and went along.
Soon, under everyone's gaze, Dong Ruyan piloted the aircraft, taking off with Jiang Feng.
"Wan'er, if you want him to have a good impression of you, you should appropriately show the gentle and obedient side of a girl, rather than being so aggressive..."
Watching Jiang Feng leave, Kong Guyoulan walked up with a wry smile and said to Shangguan Wan'er, "Our entire Demon Moon Alliance doesn't have the power to be aggressive towards him, so why hurt his impression of you?"
"Hmph, who cares!"
Shangguan Wan'er snorted coldly and turned directly to walk towards the Sky Wolf Base.
However, after Aunt Lan said this, she suddenly felt a bit of regret.
Why did she accidentally throw a princess's tantrum just now?
If she really made Jiang Feng dislike her, wouldn't she have lost more than she gained!
While Shangguan Wan'er was drowning in self-reproach, on the other side, the Demoness looked at her daughter, feeling a bit uneasy.
Could it be that her daughter also has a heart set on Jiang Feng, deeply infatuated?
But thinking of herself as a mother also having no secrets before Jiang Feng…having "met" openly…Would she and her daughter both be unable to forget one man?
This was too exaggerated!
Especially since something like this should never happen to her!
At that moment, the Demoness forcefully shook her head, took a deep breath, finally gazed one last time at the horizon, and then left with her people.
...
Meanwhile.
Southeast of Jiangdong Province's Provincial City, Yanchi Villa.
Inside the Yan Family's meeting hall, the Yan Family Patriarch Yan Huxiong sat at the head, with several confidants seated below, along with Lei Lanzi and Yan Hezhen.
"I've given you a day and night to think it over. Do any of you have a good plan to eliminate that Jiang Feng from Binhai?"
Yan Huxiong's face was clouded with darkness as he glared at his few confidants below.
"Patriarch, from what you said, that Jiang Feng's strength even surpasses the Huangfu Family's Third Old Master Huangfu Qinggang. He must be a Grandmaster-level expert!"
"A Grandmaster who is barely in his twenties is extremely rare, such a phenomenon is hard to provoke nationwide!"
An elder with hair as white as snow bitterly advised.
He was the housekeeper of the Yan Family, Heng Bo, holding a position comparable to Hou Bo in the Huangfu Family, only because the Yan Family's status was higher than the Huangfu Family, his position in the Provincial City was more pivotal.
"Tao Heng, what do you mean by this? Just because that little bastard is strong, shouldn't we avenge my nephew and grandson? One's in jail, and the other was beaten to death. Are you telling me, as an aunt and grandmother, to coldly watch and do nothing?" Lei Lanzi said coldly.
"Lady, please calm down, that's not what I meant..." Heng Bo quickly smiled bitterly.
"Heng Bo, I think you're getting more and more useless with age! My cowardly husband and father's family are too scared to avenge Shang'er, but why are you also saying such things? The dead have no blood ties with you, so you don't feel hurt, is that it?" Yan Hezhen also angrily scolded.
"Enough!" Yan Huxiong coldly waved a hand, angrily ordering, "Why are you all bickering! I asked you to deliberate, not to fight among ourselves! Jingang, did I ask you to contact the He Family? Did you connect with them?"
Sitting beside Tao Heng was another confidant, Jingang, the chief bodyguard of the Yan Family!
In terms of strength, Jingang was also at the Peak of Maestro, reputed to be the martial guardian of the Yan Family, but he didn't have the courage to deal with Jiang Feng!
"I contacted them! But the He Family was already frightened by Jiang Feng at last night's Death Battle Arena; the entire family dares not provoke Jiang Feng again. Even after Young Master He, He Jinrong's beloved was taken by Jiang Feng, they dare not retaliate, they've completely surrendered!" Jingang bitterly explained.
"Useless! A bunch of mud that can't be shaped! No wonder they've barely been alive, dispensable in the Provincial City!" Yan Huxiong gritted his teeth and cursed!
Originally, after returning last night, Yan Huxiong found out that the He Family also had enmity with Jiang Feng, so he wanted to secretly collude with the He Family to deal with Jiang Feng but didn't expect the He Family had already pleaded and dared not participate.
Just as Yan Huxiong fumed in anger, lacking any good strategy, someone came to report: "Patriarch, an honored guest has arrived outside!"
"Who?" Yan Huxiong frowned and asked.
"The Second Old Master of the Huangfu Family, Huangfu Qingzhi, has come, along with an elderly man who seems somewhat eerie!" a servant quickly replied.
"Second Uncle?" Yan Hezhen instinctively stood up upon hearing this, exclaimed in surprise.
"Him?" Yan Huxiong's expression changed, then he swiftly waved his hand: "Quickly invite them in!"
He knew that Huangfu Qingzhi didn't visit without reason due to his special status!
This time, he took the initiative to come, which must be an important matter, and this matter was most likely related to Jiang Feng from Binhai!
Huangfu Qingzhi was always clever and resourceful; did he come specially to offer a strategy this time?
