Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

After leaving Origin Mining, Ye Feng planned to go around and experience the local culture of Jiangzuo.

But before he could do anything, he received a call from Xu Jingxin.

“Ye Feng, quickly come to Liu family, something happened.”

Xu Jingxin’s voice was filled with anxiety, unlike her usual calm and steady self.

“Don’t be anxious. What exactly happened?” Ye Feng was not anxious. He asked calmly.

“The Liu family members have been injured. The Liu family members are preparing to fight to the death…”

Xu Jingxin tried her best to explain, but there was still a lot of noise on the phone, so he could not hear clearly.

“Send me the address of the Liu family. I’ll rush over immediately.”

Ye Feng hung up the phone and turned around at the intersection ahead.

The Liu family’s old residence was located in a single courtyard in the Xicheng District. It retained the architectural style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

The journey that originally took nearly an hour, with Ye Feng’s powerful driving skills, he only took half an hour to arrive.

As soon as he got out of the car, he heard a commotion coming from the door.

Immediately after, the door was pulled open and a group of people walked out, shouting things like “go settle accounts”.

Liu Jie, who had gone to the station to pick him up, was among them.

He pushed the door open and jumped out of the car. He went forward and pulled Liu Jie back. “Liu Jie, what’s going on?”

Liu Jie was the loudest one. He was encouraging his clansmen, but when he saw Ye Feng, he stopped. “Is it Mr. Ye? Our Liu family members were injured by the Three Phoenix Society. We are preparing to settle the score with them.”

“What does this Three Phoenix Society do?”

“The Three Phoenix Society is the second largest gang in the area. There are thousands of members in the gang, and they have always been arrogant and despotic. However, our Liu family has no past grievances with them. They actually stole our Liu family’s martial arts secret manual. Our people went to ask them for it, but they actually beat them up. How can we let this go?”

Liu Jie briefly explained the sequence of events and turned around to greet his clansmen.

“Stop!”

At this moment, a shout came from the courtyard. Then, Liu Wenyuan walked out quickly.

“Xiao Feng is here?” When Liu Wenyuan saw Ye Feng, he greeted him before looking at Liu Jie sternly. “What are you doing?”

Liu Jie glared back at him unwillingly. “Seventh Uncle, our Liu family members were beaten up. Of course, we have to go to the Three Phoenix Society to demand an explanation.”

“Nonsense!” Liu Wenyuan scolded again, “The adults haven’t even come up with a solution yet. If you go to the Three Phoenix Society now, aren’t you adding fuel to the fire?”

“What else is there to discuss? If our people are injured, can’t we just fight back?” After Liu Jie finished speaking, he turned around and called out to everyone, “Everyone, follow me. If they don’t give us an explanation today, we’ll fight them to the end.”

“Stop right there.”

Seeing that the situation was about to go out of control, Liu Wenyuan raised his voice again and shouted, “Who dares to take another step forward?”

Although he was not in the Liu family for many years, he still had this bit of dignity.

The Liu clansmen who were clamoring to take revenge stopped in their tracks.

Liu Jie looked at Liu Wenyuan unhappily. “Seventh Uncle, what do you mean?”

“I just don’t want to see you guys die in vain.” Liu Wenyuan looked at the group of young people in front of him. These were the future of the Liu family. How could they be destroyed in vain?

“Hmph, I think you’re afraid, right? You’ve been away from home for so many years. I wonder if your strength has improved, but your courage is getting smaller and smaller.”

“If you’re afraid, just stay at home obediently. If anything happens, we’ll bear the responsibility. We definitely won’t implicate you…”

“You…”

Liu Wenyuan was so angry that he was trembling.

“B*stard!”

At this moment, a furious curse suddenly came from the courtyard.

Then, a man with a very dignified face walked out. He looked a little older than Liu Wenyuan, and they looked similar.

All the Liu clansmen present, except for Liu Wenyuan, became extremely respectful.

“Dad…” Liu Jie was still arrogant just now, but after seeing this man, he immediately became a little hamster, trembling with fear.

Ye Feng did not even need to ask. He knew that this person was Liu family’s current leader, Liu Wenyuan’s third brother, Liu Wenlong.

Pa!

As soon as Liu Wenlong came up, he swung his arm and slapped Liu Jie’s face.

His angry palm strike was extremely powerful, causing Liu Jie to stagger. Half of his face swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“B*stard! How dare you speak to your Seventh Uncle in such a tone? Are you looking for death?” Liu Wenlong was still angry after the slap. He pointed at his son’s nose and cursed.

Liu Jie covered his face and did not dare to speak.

At this moment, another group of people walked out of the courtyard. They were all older and should be the higher-ups of the Liu family.

Xu Jingxin was also among this group of people. When she saw Ye Feng, a hint of joy flashed across her face, as if she had seen her backbone.

“Alright, Third Brother, Xiao Jie was also in a hurry. Don’t blame him.” Liu Wenyuan stepped forward and tugged at Liu Wenlong’s arm.

Liu Wenlong’s expression turned better, but he still scolded his son. “Since your Seventh Uncle has spoken up for you, I’ll let you off today. If you dare to be rude to your Seventh Uncle again, I’ll cripple you first.”

“Thank you for your forgiveness, Seventh Uncle.” Liu Jie apologized to Liu Wenyuan with shame.

“Don’t be so rash in the future.” Liu Wenyuan comforted him, then turned to Liu Wenlong. “Third brother, let me introduce you, this is my disciple Ye Feng.”

As he introduced, he pointed at Ye Feng with a proud expression.

It was as if he was showing off to his neighbor that his son had just been admitted to Tsinghua University.

Liu Wenlong looked at Ye Feng and praised sincerely.

“No wonder Seventh Brother has been full of praise for you. You are indeed dignified and extraordinary.”

Liu Wenyuan was like an old father who had heard someone praise his son. He smiled with relief.

“Greetings, Third Martial Uncle.”

When Ye Feng faced his elders, he still gave them enough respect.

After greeting him, he turned to look at his master, Liu Wenyuan. “Master, what exactly is going on?”

Liu Wenyuan sighed. “This is not the place to talk. Let’s go in first.”

The courtyard of the Liu family’s old residence was very large. There were many rockery trees, flowing water, and pavilions in the courtyard. It was full of antiques.

However, no one was in the mood to enjoy the scenery. They walked through the courtyard without saying a word and arrived at a s.p.a.cious meeting hall.

The meeting hall was more than 200 square meters, enough to accommodate more than a hundred people.

However, only the higher-ups of the Liu family were qualified to enter this place. The others did not follow.

As the head of the Liu family, Liu Wenlong naturally sat at the head of the table.

Liu Wenyuan and the other higher-ups of the Liu family sat on the left side.

As guests, Ye Feng and Xu Jingxin sat on the right side.

After everyone sat down, someone served them hot tea.

Liu Wenyuan didn’t stand on ceremony and immediately told him the whole story.
