Chapter 235: The Frenzied Youth of Northern Su
No one knows what the Reincarnation that happens every three thousand years means or what exactly will happen.
Buddha spoke of the Three Thousand Great Worlds; thus, every world experiences reincarnation once every three thousand years. This is but a legend, yet it’s a well-reasoned one. Like a deep nightmare, it entwines itself around the minds of the people, making everyone who hears this tale deeply anxious and uneasy.
Just look at the Xuanyuan Nation.
Three thousand years ago, the last human emperor, also known as the "First Emperor" by posterity, almost single-handedly killed tens of thousands of cultivation practitioners and burned nearly one million books. He destroyed a crucial part of the legacy of the cultivation practitioners, resulting in the Martial Dao being stuck at a bottleneck for the entire subsequent three thousand years.
No one knows why the First Emperor did this, just as no one knows what the three-thousand-year Reincarnation means. Perhaps he was the only one who knew, which is why he committed such a tyrannical and unparalleled catastrophe upon the world.
Ye Feng was unaware that in the Fengyun Pavilion of the Imperial Capital, there was a conference so related to him, let alone that behind the conference, there were matters as shocking as a tsunami waiting to unfold.
At this moment, Ye Feng had just disembarked from his private jet and was driving toward the Xu Family of Northern Su.
The Xu Family breaks tradition in the inheritance of power!
Looking at the family reports concerning the Xu Family’s affairs that he held in his hands, Ye Feng rubbed his temples, not sure what to say.
General Xu, who was one of the Ten Great Generals worthy of being honored in the Minggong Pavilion, actually only had one biological son. The other son was an orphan his kind-hearted wife had adopted amid the chaos of war years earlier.
The eldest son, Xu Tiefeng, was indeed the true descendant of General Xu. As for the second son, Xu Tierui, he was the orphan brought home back then.
However, reading this family report, Ye Feng had just learned that less than eight years after General Xu’s death, the Xu Family had passed from Xu Tiefeng’s hands to those of Xu Tierui.
Therefore, the current head of the Xu Family was Xu Tierui, that Foster Son.
"It looks like the Xu Family raised a thankless wretch!"
Ye Feng concluded to himself.
Such matters about the Ten Great Generals were not only classified but also tacitly ignored by certain people, even if they were aware of what had happened. After all, at the end of the day, it was still an internal affair of the Xu Family.
"Tired, aren’t you?"
"Turn the car around, let’s find a place to rest first."
Looking at Hong Qingyan beside him, Ye Feng suddenly changed direction and tone as he noticed her leansing on his shoulder, looking visibly unwell.
Not accustomed to the local conditions!
Ye Feng immediately made his judgment. The climate difference between the north and south was vast; for someone like Hong Qingyan, who had never been to the north, it would be strange if her first visit went smoothly.
Besides, after a long and tedious journey that took almost half a day to reach Northern Su, it would be a lie to say that a common person wouldn’t feel tired.
"Big Brother Ye, I’m fine."
Hong Qingyan straightened up and gently shook her head, knowing full well that Ye Feng’s early trip to the north must have been for some important matter.
How could she cause a delay!
"Even if you’re fine, we need to rest. When we’re outside, listen to me."
Seeing that Hong Qingyan was about to speak again, Ye Feng hugged her forcefully into his arms in a very domineering way, finding her naivety truly endearing.
The others watched, each practicing restraint and understanding the situation without saying a word. They knew that Hong Qingyan had done well not to complain so far.
Rest is rest; what’s the Xu Family anyway?
For Xiao Chuanqi and the others, Ye Feng’s decision was everything. When it was time to rest, one shouldn’t think about working; it was time to conserve energy.
No rush!
The car slowly turned away from the direction of the Xu Family’s residence. Having read the Xu Family’s information, Ye Feng suddenly felt that the trip to the Xu Family might not be so difficult after all.
In a nutshell, people matter the most in the world, and our Qingyan matters the most to us.
An hour later, the group finally arrived at the largest five-star hotel in Su City, where they quickly completed the check-in process.
"Husband, you’re the best!"
Lying on the bed, looking at Ye Feng who was close by, Hong Qingyan sweetly said, feeling utterly exhausted from the journey, though she had pretended to be fine.
"Let’s rest for now."
This tenderness!
Ye Feng turned his head away quietly, afraid that if he kept looking, he wouldn’t be able to control himself from becoming a beast again, and there was also the way she addressed him.
It seemed that the girl would only call him "husband" when they were alone. After a moment, Ye Feng felt at ease; he hadn’t given Hong Qingyan a wedding ceremony yet.
After Hong Qingyan had fallen into a deep sleep, Ye Feng slowly adopted a Breathing Technique posture. Even if he couldn’t find a way to unlock his body’s acupoints, he never slackened his practice.
There was nothing pressing in the morning, until the early evening, when a hotel staff member came knocking on the door.
"Sorry, Mr. Ye, our Star Hotel has been fully booked by someone, so could you possibly relocate elsewhere?"
"As compensation, your expenses this time will be waived by the hotel, and if you choose to stay at any of our chain hotels, you can enjoy a day’s free service."
The speaker was a uniformed beauty with a radio, her voice still gentle.
Who knew, Ye Feng would respond without hesitation:
"No."
His reply was very decisive and firm.
"This... Sir, the person who booked the hotel is Young Master Liang Chengyu. Could you consider it?"
The staff member thought for a moment, then laid all her cards on the table.
Liang Chengyu, the second son of the Liang Family, also known as the brash young man of Northern Su, who acted with no regard for the consequences and with a ruthless hand in his dealings. In Northern Su, who wouldn’t give him some face?
"Don’t know him, no need to consider."
"I don’t want to put you in a difficult position, go call your manager."
Ye Feng said with a slight anger, gesturing dismissively.
Liang Chengyu?
Sounds like a big name, but could just a name frighten him? It has always been the other way around with Ye Feng’s reputation scaring people.
About ten minutes later, the waiter returned with a portly middle-aged man. As soon as Ye Feng opened the door, the man casually threw a check at him, speaking resolutely,
"Name your price, sign it."
After speaking, he didn’t forget to pull out a fountain pen, but the pen happened to fall on the floor in an unguarded moment.
Just an outsider!
The moment he saw Ye Feng’s attire, Liu Youqian recognized him as such. To deal with these disobedient outsiders, they had to be taught the rules of Northern Su.
Crush them with money!
It’s said that the annual output value of Northern Su ranks among the top three in the entire Xuanyuan Nation, inevitably leading to the emergence of some snobs who look down on others.
Without even looking at the check, Ye Feng casually tore it up and then stretched out two fingers.
"Two hundred thousand?"
Liu Youqian asked disdainfully, looking down on Ye Feng as a country bumpkin. No matter how well dressed, Ye Feng couldn’t hide his true nature.
Ye Feng didn’t answer, but chuckled as he wiggled his two fingers.
"Two million, you’re dreaming," Liu Youcai said angrily.
Trying to ask for an outrageous sum without considering where he was. This was a five-star hotel under the Liang Family’s name. Who in all of Northern Su dared to offend that First Family?
"No, no!"
"Even if you gave me two billion, I wouldn’t want it. The two fingers mean to tell you, you’re just an idiot," Ye Feng said with a cold laugh.
"You’ve got guts!"
"So, it seems you don’t want to leave, but rather, you’re intentionally picking a fight with me," Liu Youcai said, smiling as his round face crinkled and his small eyes narrowed deeply.
"No, no!"
"What makes you think you’re even worthy of picking a fight with me? Get lost and don’t disturb my wife’s rest, or I will not be lenient. I don’t care who booked the entire place today, but I have settled in the room, and you will give it whether you agree or not," Ye Feng said, pointing outside, his meaning clear.
"What if I refuse?" Liu Youqian’s expression grew more hostile, not even considering if someone was trying to cause trouble on his turf.
"There are no ’ifs,’" Ye Feng said softly.
What does he mean?
Just as Liu Youqian was puzzled, Ye Feng made his move. He grabbed the former’s arm and tossed the big fat man out like taking out the trash, throwing him a full ten meters away.
When he landed, it was light and graceful.
He wasn’t unharmed, but the damage wasn’t visible on the outside. Liu Youqian lay on the floor, gasping for air with a pale face, unable to get up.
You’ve got nerve!
To dare lay hands on him. In this moment, Liu Youqian was genuinely infuriated. It wasn’t a big deal to disrespect him, Fatty Liu, but disrespecting people from the Liang Family was a different story.
You’re dead meat!
A wise man does not eat the food in front of him. After resting for quite some time, Liu Youqian finally skulked away gingerly, his heavy body aching all over as though someone had kneaded his flesh.
"Idiot, you can’t even handle this."
"Liu Youqian, you should know our Liang Family doesn’t keep the useless around. Don’t let me think you’re worthless. Otherwise, I’ll chop you up and feed you to the dogs. I’ll give you twenty men to make him regret what he did just now," said a voice inside the office.
Just having walked a short distance that felt torturous like purgatory, Liu Youqian had not yet caught his breath when he immediately became on high alert due to a phone call.
Because of the person on the other end of the call.
"Second Young Master, please rest assured, I will make sure everything is handled perfectly," Liu Youqian said.
"I hope so," came the reply.
By the time Liu Youqian respectfully ended the call, his back was already soaked with cold sweat. Name precedes a person just as shadows follow a form; the Northern S? madman was more like a rabid dog.
"Don’t blame me for being heartless; it’s your own fault for not being observant," Liu Youqian muttered to himself as he lay on the sofa, a slight smile on his lips as he silently awaited the arrival of his reinforcements.
In Northern Su, a saying was quietly passed around: When the Liang Family wants you dead by midnight, they never leave anyone alive till dawn.
What’s the meaning of being the king of your turf?
The Liang Family was a living example; it was the biggest king of the Northern Su turf. The former Liang Family would not have dared to be so brazen, but everything changed after their marital alliance with the Xu Family.
Ye Feng had no idea what that fat manager was waiting for. Even if he did, he’d only laugh it off. Forget Liang Chengyu, even the entire Liang Family of Northern Su might not be an adequate challenge for him.
The scenery is quite beautiful!
As the most luxurious five-star hotel in Northern Su, it was also a great vantage point for viewing the landscape. From inside the room, Ye Feng could enjoy the splendid sight of Northern Su through the glass window.
Such a magnificent era was once intoxicatingly beautiful.
Yet in this world, unbeknownst to all, someone in the distance stands guard.
