Urban Invincible Overlord

Yang Fei deeply agreed, feeling that Qin Yanyang's worry was not unnecessary.

However, thinking of the thirty-three Hidden Sect experts he had subdued, he comforted Qin Yanyang, saying, "Wife, don't worry too much. We'll take things one step at a time. Also, that thing I mentioned last time is proceeding steadily and will soon yield results."

Qin Yanyang was so busy every day that she forgot what Yang Fei was talking about, so she asked, "What thing?"

Yang Fei replied, "It's about secretly recruiting those top experts from the Hidden Sect who were imprisoned for following the Zhuge family, the Duanmu family, and Giant Sword Manor."

Qin Yanyang remembered and asked, "How is it going?"

"They imprisoned a total of thirty-seven top experts that time. I had Senior Zhu Tianshou persuade them and brought over thirty-three," Yang Fei said.

"Are they reliable?" Qin Yanyang asked.

Yang Fei laughed, "Do they have any other choice? If they don't join us, they'll face the risk of being perpetually imprisoned. The best outcome for them otherwise would be being noticed by one of the other five families and continuing to serve as a subordinate force."

Qin Yanyang nodded, smiling, "But even if they join us, they are still a subordinate force, and given their superior mentality, they might rather bow to the other five Hidden Sect families than serve us."

Yang Fei proudly said, "That depends on who offers more and who is more sincere. It's their entrenched mindset at work, thinking Hidden Sect people are superior, but the world is different now. They will gradually realize that not everyone in the Hidden Sect is entitled to such superiority. Plus, I offer more, with enough sincerity, and your reputation speaks for itself. They would rather join us than other families."

Qin Yanyang pondered for a moment, slowly nodded, and curiously asked, "What benefits did you promise them? I must warn you, don't easily promise national resources."

Yang Fei speechlessly said, "Rest assured, don't I know how selflessly dedicated you are for the country? I used my own resources to win them over. So later, don't blame me if they only listen to me."

Qin Yanyang snorted, saying, "It's fine if they listen to you, as long as you listen to me."

Yang Fei laughed heartily, "I still can't outsmart you."

Qin Yanyang smiled triumphantly, yet felt a bit moved inside.

This man may be a scoundrel, but he is truly sincere to her.

She just hoped his sincerity towards her would never change; otherwise, given the current complex situation, if she couldn't rely on him, she didn't know if she could continue.

Unbeknownst to her, at some point, deep down, she had subconsciously regarded Yang Fei as a significant support.

This man would always stand behind her, supporting her in pursuing her ideals.

The couple hadn't had such a quiet conversation in a long time. Yang Fei asked a lot about the outside world, and Qin Yanyang answered one by one, while also inquiring about some situations at the base here.

After an unknown length of time, Helian Rong's voice came from outside: "Yang Fei, come out for a moment, I have something to tell you."

Qin Yanyang left Yang Fei's embrace, saying, "Go ahead."

Yang Fei stepped outside to see Helian Rong with a hint of reluctance on her face, standing outside.

Seeing Yang Fei appear, Helian Rong forced a smile and said, "Yang Fei, you healed my illness, and I haven't properly thanked you yet."

As she spoke, she bowed deeply to Yang Fei.

Yang Fei quickly said, "Oh, there's no need to be so polite, it's something I promised you long ago."

Helian Rong blushed slightly, recalling the scene when they first met.

She took advantage of him, poisoned him, and then imprisoned him for several months.

During that time, she didn't hold back from tormenting him and sparred with him intellectually. Now, looking back, it was the most beautiful and unique memory since she reached adulthood.

"Aunt Helian, is there something you want to say?" Yang Fei saw her blushing, unaware of what she thought of, but with Qin Yanyang in the room behind, who would be jealous, it would be hard to explain if she saw, so he changed the topic.

Helian Rong, seeing Yang Fei inquire, once more showed a reluctant expression, looking up at Yang Fei and asking, "Yang Fei, will we meet again?"

Yang Fei was taken aback, then had a feeling, responding, "Are you leaving?"

Helian Rong nodded, "Mm, my father and master both want me to find them."

Yang Fei's face also showed a trace of reluctance, saying, "Actually, for Aunt Helian, the world is vast, and you can settle anywhere. If you feel comfortable here, you don't have to leave either."

Hearing him say this, Helian Rong felt a bit more tenderness in her heart and looked at Yang Fei, saying, "Do you want me to stay?"

Yang Fei's lips moved, but the words wouldn't come out.

With a jealous wife inside, he couldn't freely flirt. This is a sample from My Virtual Library Empire. Read the rest on M-VLEMPYR.

Especially as Helian Rong's gaze was filled with expectation and a bit of tenderness, if he flippantly said something, it might get complicated.

As a man who considers himself somewhat lecherous, Yang Fei truly had little resistance to a beauty of Helian Rong's caliber, having such thoughts was quite normal, but now was really not the time.

He could only silently sigh, suppress the impulse in his heart, and say, "Aunt Helian and I are very good friends, naturally, if you want to stay, you can stay."

Helian Rong's eyes dimmed, thinking to herself, 'Just friends, huh?'

She used to be seriously ill and could have left this world at any moment, also being Ouyang He's apprentice and a Demoness of the Poison Sect, her actions were strange and bold.

But she never thought about marriage, not daring to hope for romance.

However, since being cured by Yang Fei, her mindset underwent some subtle changes.

With life no longer threatened by a terminal illness, she felt life was full of beauty and wanted to enjoy this world and began to yearn for love.

Especially the unique circumstances of meeting and interacting with Yang Fei, which made her unable to forget.

Although Yang Fei had a wife and Tong Yunshu was also his woman, having grown up in the Hidden Sect, Helian Rong didn't mind such things.

In the Hidden Sect World, men, especially the strong, often had many women.

So, after receiving messages from her father and master, she hesitated for several days before leaving, wanting to courageously ask about Yang Fei's feelings for her.

Now hearing Yang Fei only consider her a friend, she felt a bit empty inside.

But she quickly adjusted her emotions, smiling, "I'd better not. Although here is suitable for cultivation and living, my personality doesn't allow staying put. I used to believe I wouldn't live long, so I liked wandering and traveling. Now I can live a long time, and the outside world is so exciting, I also want to go out and see."

Yang Fei felt a small hint of loss in his heart hearing this, but he said, "Yes, the world is indeed exciting, you should definitely go enjoy it."

"Then I'll bid you farewell now, I'm leaving," Helian Rong said with a smile.

Yang Fei nodded, "Wherever you go, though the outside world is more conveniently connected, you're not very familiar with it. I could have someone accompany you."

Helian Rong shook her head, "No need, I want to slowly get familiar with and adapt to this world by myself."

With that, she called towards the house behind Yang Fei, "Qin Yanyang, I'm leaving, thank you for hosting me during this time."

Qin Yanyang's voice came out, "Aunt Helian, the Martial Arts World is vast, till we meet again, take care. Yang Fei, see Aunt Helian off for me."

Yang Fei's heart jumped, wondering if Qin Yanyang meant it sincerely or was testing him.

Helian Rong's eyes brightened, expectantly looking at Yang Fei.
