Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law

Chapter 101: Testing the Waters with a Letter?



The night was already deep, and Ye Feng was still immersed in the state of cultivation.

Suddenly, there was a loud rumbling from within his body. Ye Feng trembled all over, and then an invisible surge of energy burst forth, causing the vase on the nearby table to wobble unsteadily.

At this moment, Ye Feng's breath soared once again!

"The third acupoint, finally opened, inner strength has doubled again!" Ye Feng sighed inwardly, slowly opening his eyes.

If there were outsiders present at this moment, they would see two beams of white light shooting out from Ye Feng's eyes, shining brightly.

Just then, the sound of a car horn came from the courtyard gate below, as someone alighted from the car and then knocked on the door.

"I am the steward of the Jiang Family, specifically here to see Mr. Ye and deliver a letter."

"People from the Jiang Family? What are they here for?" Ye Feng muttered to himself, then turned his wheelchair and slowly made his way out of the bedroom to the first-floor hall.

The Jiang Family steward handed the letter to Seventeen, who took it and walked in, passing it on to Ye Feng.

The white envelope, once opened, contained only a short line of text: "Meet tomorrow to resolve personal enmity, venue Listening Wind Pavilion, Jiang Yicai of Southern Territory!"

Although the message was brief, Ye Feng's gaze suddenly sharpened upon reading it, and his brows furrowed slightly, his attention fixed on those two characters—Southern Territory.

Seeing this, Xiao Chuanqi couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter, my lord? Has something happened?"

Ye Feng didn't speak, simply handing the envelope to him.

Xiao Chuanqi took a glance and said in a deep voice, "Southern Territory? The person who delivered the letter just now seemed to be from the Jiang Family of the Southern River Region Jiangnan, how could this Jiang Yicai be a person from the Southern Territory?"

Sima Zhantian scoffed upon hearing this, "What about the Southern Territory? Even if the King of the Southern Territory himself were to come, we would not be afraid, let alone some obscure nobody!"

Ye Feng shook his head slightly with a smile, paying no mind to this hot-tempered fellow.

However, the fact that the other party signed off as from the Southern Territory rather than the Jiang Family gave it a different implication.

Xiao Chuanqi, obviously much more meticulous, asked, "My lord, how do you plan to handle this?"

Ye Feng didn't answer, simply asking, "Where is the messenger now?"

"Still waiting outside," replied Sima Zhantian.

"Go back and tell him, if the Jiang Family wants to settle accounts and resolve enmity, let them come and see me directly!" After saying this, Ye Feng turned to go upstairs.

What about the Southern Territory? Unless the King of the Southern Territory himself came, he might consider agreeing to the meeting, but as for anyone else, even the few Commanders of the Southern Territory did not have such qualifications.

The Northern Border King, and moreover, the youngest and most powerful king in history, his majesty as imposing as a mountain.

"Or, my lord, I could simply storm the Jiang Family and capture this Jiang Yicai at once?" Sima Zhantian suggested with a big grin.

Ye Feng did not respond to her, already slowly ascending the stairs.

For some reason, since recovering from his injury, he found his body had changed from before. Not to mention other things, cultivation was much quicker and breakthroughs were much easier. Naturally, he wanted to thoroughly investigate this.

Sima Zhantian, seeing Ye Feng ignoring him, simply chuckled to himself and stepped out the door, just as Hong Qingyan had returned.

During this time, she had always been by Ye Feng's side, taking care of his daily needs. Over time, it seemed to have become somewhat monotonous.

This was also why Ye Feng had arranged for her to become the chairwoman of the foundation; training was secondary, the main reason was to give her something to do so she wouldn't be too bored.

"Big Brother Ye, I'm back," Hong Qingyan called out as soon as she entered the door.

It was apparent she was happy; though tired, there was a sense of satisfaction as she felt she was of some use.

Ye Feng smiled down at her from upstairs, "Come up and talk."

Hong Qingyan went up the stairs directly, but her body was too weak, and her foot still limped, so her pace was very slow. By the time she had reached the top, she was drenched in sweat.

Ye Feng watched her silently, arching an eyebrow.

He had not failed to examine Hong Qingyan's condition during this period. However, her ankle had a congenital problem, and it was difficult to cure due to an issue with her tendons and veins. If something went wrong during treatment, it could potentially lead to a permanent disability.

As for her frailty, it was due to a deficiency of Innate Qi, which Ye Feng also had no solution for at the moment. Perhaps, in the future, there might be a chance to ask the Medicine King from the Valley of the Medicine King for assistance.

After Hong Qingyan ascended the stairs and caught her breath, she began reporting the details of establishing the foundation that day.

Ye Feng nodded, "For these matters, you can take care of them yourself in the future. There's no need to report everything to me."

Hong Qingyan immediately lowered her head, looking somewhat aggrieved.

Ye Feng looked up at her and asked, "What's the matter? Did you run into some difficulty?"

It took Hong Qingyan quite a while to speak in a soft and tentative voice, "Big Brother Ye, do you think I'm really... really useless? On normal days, I can only take care of your diet and daily life, and beyond that, I'm of no further help."

Ye Feng couldn't help but let out a laugh and shook his head, about to speak.

At this moment, Sima Zhantian loudly said from below, "Who said that? Do you really believe that just anyone can take care of Master's diet and daily life? It seems Miss Hong doesn't know that those who can serve at Master's side must at least have the status of Deputy Commander, their identity almost the same as ours!"

Hong Qingyan's eyes widened as she exclaimed, "Really?"

"Of course!" Sima Zhantian chuckled and said, "Miss Hong, you don't know how many stunning beauties are clambering over each other, trying to take care of our Master's diet and daily life, but..."

Before he could finish, Hong Qingyan once again lowered her head, her face a picture of sorrow.

Xiao Chuanqi glared at Sima Zhantian and snorted coldly, "You blockhead, if you can't speak properly, then don't open your mouth!"

Without another word, Sima Zhantian immediately bowed and said, "I misspoke, I beg the Princess Consort to punish me!"

Hong Qingyan immediately looked up, stupefied and at a loss for words.

Sima Zhantian said, "If the Princess Consort won't grace me with her words, then I, on my own accord, will slap myself fifty times!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he truly was about to start slapping his own face, which frightened Hong Qingyan. She quickly spoke up, "Don't... Please don't, I really don't blame you. It's my own fault, I'm not good enough." Your adventure continues at empire

Sima Zhantian couldn't help but scratch his head and laughed sheepishly, "So the Princess Consort has forgiven me. I was just saying, not only is the Princess Consort beautiful, like a fairy descending from the heavens, but she also has a very kind heart."

Seeing him act this way, Hong Qingyan couldn't help but laugh.

Ye Feng also found it amusing and said, "You two fellows, it's so late now, the lights in other houses are almost out, and you still want to stay here and light up the place like light bulbs?"

Sima Zhantian and Xiao Chuanqi immediately realized their faux pas and hurriedly said, "Yes, Master, it is our lack of discernment that has disturbed Master and the Princess Consort's world. We shall leave immediately!"

The sound of their voices had not yet faded when the two men hurriedly exited the hall and left the villa.

Of course, they didn't really leave but together with Seventeen, the three chose to rest in another villa nearby.

At this very moment, the butler from the Jiang Family had already returned to the clan.

Jiang Yicai was furious upon hearing the report.

"Outrageous, truly outrageous!"

Jiang Yicai clenched his teeth, slammed his great hand down on the table, and said through gritted teeth, "That Ye brat actually refused to give me face and didn't come to the meeting?"

The butler replied, "Indeed, Young Master, it is as you said. That Ye brat said he wishes for you to personally visit him tomorrow, and he also said... he also said..."

"What did he say?" Jiang Yicai roared.

"Mr. Ye also said that you, Young Master, are not yet qualified to meet with him."

"Nonsense!" Jiang Yicai slammed the table again.

At that moment, Commander Xia suddenly snickered, "Actually, this is a good thing!"

Jiang Yicai quickly turned his head and asked, "Commander Xia says this is good, but why is that?"

Commander Xia asked, "Did you, as I instructed, sign the envelope with 'Southern Territory'?"

"Naturally. The Commander personally instructed it, so I did exactly that," Jiang Yicai replied.

"If so, the other party saw it and didn't show the slightest reaction. What do you think the reason is?" Commander Xia's gaze pierced Jiang Yicai as if he could see through everything.

Jiang Yicai frowned deeply in thought, unable to grasp the key point, and had to bow and say, "I ask Commander Xia to enlighten me."

Commander Xia laughed heartily, "The reason can only be one of two things. One is that the other party knows the implications of 'Southern Territory' but truly does not care, which is very unlikely. The second is that the brat simply does not know what 'Southern Territory' means."

Jiang Yicai pondered for a moment before his eyes brightened, and he said, "Commander Xia means to say that the Ye brat truly has no idea about the Southern Territory, in other words, he's just an ignorant youngster?"

Commander Xia laughed, "Someone who doesn't even know what 'Southern Territory' signifies poses no threat to us whatsoever. Tomorrow, you can personally go to him and just take his head!"

Jiang Yicai immediately gave a thumbs up and praised repeatedly, "Brilliant, truly brilliant. Commander Xia is indeed a great leader, dubbed the half strategist of the Southern Territory. When it comes to strategizing, it's hard to find a second like you in the Southern Territory. Just a letter, just two words, and you're able to test the depth of your opponent."

Commander Xia just chuckled, his face showing a semblance of profound wisdom and control over the situation.

Jiang Yicai immediately clenched his teeth and said, "If that's the case, I will visit him tomorrow and finish off that Ye brat!"
