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

Ye Feng returned to the villa and then had dinner with Hong Qingyan.

However, during dinner, Hong Qingyan kept her head down and didn't speak, appearing to be in a rather poor mood.

Ye Feng set down his chopsticks and asked, "What's the matter, Qingyan, you seem to be troubled?"

Hong Qingyan was startled for a moment, then gave a wry smile and said, "Big Brother Ye, actually, there's something that has been weighing on my mind for a long time, but I don't know how to tell you."

Ye Feng quietly watched her, watched this girl whose heart was as pure as the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus, pale from illness yet with a pitiable grace that only made her more endearing.

"What's our relationship, you can speak your mind without hesitation," Ye Feng said with a slight smile.

As the Northern Border King, he rarely smiled, and it was only in front of Hong Qingyan that he would put aside his kingly demeanor.

Hong Qingyan mustered up her courage and said, "Big Brother Ye, I know you are no ordinary man, especially given the events of this period that have further proven your extraordinary background. And me, not only am I crippled but also frequently ill. Sometimes I feel that following you, I am just a burden."

To Ye Feng's surprise, he asked back, "How are you a burden? You take care of me day to day, if not for your care, how would I, a man with a broken leg, manage my life?"

"But..." Hong Qingyan wanted to say more, yet suddenly didn't know what to add.

Ye Feng reached out, touched her head, and said with a chuckle, "Everyone has different abilities. If you feel that taking care of these daily chores is boring and trivial, then from now on, I'll find something else for you to do, how about that?"

"No, I don't find it boring or trivial, it's just that someone as extraordinary as you might find a cripple like me inadequate. In fact, I know that the Pang Family wanted to send you several young and beautiful female assistants to take better care of you."

By the end of her sentence, Hong Qingyan's voice was almost too low to hear.

Ye Feng couldn't help but laugh, saying irritably, "So it's about that. The Pang Family may mean well, but I already declined. Besides, all the beauty in the world combined couldn't compare to one smile from you."

Hong Qingyan didn't respond, just stared blankly at Ye Feng, her eyes filled with emotion and gratitude.

"Big Brother Ye, you're really kind. In fact, you're a good person, not at all like what people say about you," Hong Qingyan said before continuing to eat her meal with her head down.

Ye Feng shook his head with a smile and then said no more.

Meanwhile, Cui Hao and the others still wandering on the road finally received a reply from the Yin Family.

"Sure enough, Young Master Murong Qinglong of the Gusu Murong Family really did get one of his arms broken by that Ye guy, and also one of the martial instructors from the Martial Alliance of Southern River Region Jiangnan was said to have been carried out when he left!"

After hanging up the phone, Cui Hao's face showed an undeniable excitement – confirming this news was like a reprieve from death for them.

The representative from the Yan Family asked, "Was the martial instructor from the Martial Alliance of Southern River Region Jiangnan also crippled by that Ye guy?"

"Indeed, it seems that this Ye fellow has truly offended the Martial Alliance of Southern River Region Jiangnan, and he has also challenged the authority of the Gusu Murong Family. That guy actually dared to speak out at the birthday banquet, saying even if Murong Zhantian, that old thing, showed up, he would still not be worthy to carry his shoes!"

Unable to conceal a laugh, Cui Hao shook his head and said, "I must admit, this Ye fellow is somewhat capable and very arrogant, but I never imagined he would be arrogant to such an extent, not even caring for the Gusu Murong Family!"

The representative from the Yan Family suggested, "Murong Zhantian is extremely protective of his clan and also quite narrow-minded. He certainly won't let this go easily. Deputy Head Cui, what do you think we should do now?"

"I've already had someone ask around. Murong Zhantian is at the Martial Alliance of Southern River Region Jiangnan now. Let's go to the headquarters to find him. However, there's something I must make clear to everyone ahead of time, so that no one says the wrong thing later and causes our plan to fail," Cui Hao said with a heavy tone.

The representatives from the second-rate families said, "Deputy Head Cui, please speak your mind."

After a moment of contemplation, Cui Hao said, "As everyone knows, the Gu&Poison Sect from the Southern Border has always been notorious, and it's one of the forces that the Martial Alliance aims to eradicate. Now, the Gu&Poison Sect brazenly wants to act against our families through the Yin Family, yet the Martial Alliance of Southern River Region Jiangnan appears to be unaware of this.

If such news were to reach higher up, I fear..."

He stopped there, just snorting coldly.

However, everyone had already understood that the Gu&Poison Sect had been committing all manner of evil in Jiangdu, and the Martial Alliance of Southern River Region Jiangnan had not investigated them.

In the end, it was an outsider who had eradicated them, which, if reported to the Main Martial Alliance of the Imperial Capital, would at least amount to negligence on the part of Jiangnan's Martial Alliance.

Cui Hao thought for a while and then said, "Regarding the matter of the Gu&Poison Sect, when we get to the Martial Alliance, no one is to mention it, especially not the matter of that Ye surname boy who eliminated three Gu&Poison Sect disciples. We mustn't bring it up at all, otherwise, most of the properties of our great families are likely to be lost. Did everyone understand that?"

"Understood, we naturally understand!"

"Good, we will head to the Martial Alliance of Southern River Region Jiangnan immediately!" declared Cui Hao with a great wave of his hand, and two carriages immediately roared off at full speed.

At this time, the Martial Alliance of Southern River Region Jiangnan was located within a garden from the last century in the Southern River Region Jiangnan, at the very deepest part in an antique meeting room where several core members of the Martial Alliance were holding a meeting.

A servant-like old man knocked on the door and then pushed open the door of the meeting room and walked in.

The meeting was interrupted, and the distinguished elder sitting at the center with white hair and beard furrowed his eyebrows, revealing a hint of displeasure, but since the steward was his confidant, he did not say much more.

"Let us pause our discussion for the moment," gestured the elder with his hand.

He was none other than the old head of the Gusu Murong Family, one of the Four Great Families of Southern River Region Jiangnan; they were also the most mysterious and the strongest among the Four Great Families. Of course, he was also the current Alliance Hierarch of the Martial Alliance in the Jiangnan Province.

He was Murong Zhantian, titled as the greatest expert in the Jiangnan Province, and a Huajin Grandmaster!

The several core higher-ups of the Martial Alliance of Southern River Region Jiangnan naturally did not dare to say much and had to stop.

The steward went straight to Murong Zhantian and whispered a few words into his ear.

"What did you say?"

Murong Zhantian immediately raised his thick grey eyebrows and shouted angrily, "Who has such audacity to break my grandson's arm, rendering him incapable of practicing martial arts for the rest of his life, and even maimed the martial instructor?"

The steward replied softly, "It was a young man named Ye Feng."

"A young man? What is his background, have you found out?" barked Murong Zhantian.

"We have checked, but can't determine the specifics just yet. We only roughly know that this person is the son-in-law of the Hong Family of Jiangdu. This person sits in a wheelchair, and by all appearances, is a cripple; he is always followed by a Grandmaster. Based on preliminary inferences, he is very likely from one of the Aristocratic Clan Gates in the Imperial Capital," the steward reported.

"A young master from an Imperial Capital Aristocratic Clan Gate, impossible!" Find more to read at empire

Murong Zhantian suddenly stood up and said through gritted teeth, "Those Aristocratic Clan Gates in the Imperial Capital, every reputable one, I'm well aware of, and there is no one with a severed leg or a cripple among their direct lineage. What's more, even if there were, if he came to Jiangnan, we would be informed so as to take good care of him."

The steward asked, "What does the old master imply?"

Murong Zhantian slowly narrowed his eyes and said word by word, "I only have this one precious grandson, and someone dared to cripple him, destroying his ability to practice martial arts for life. This is practically the same as cutting off the roots of my Gusu Murong Family. I, as the Alliance Hierarch, must make him pay the price regardless of his background!"

The steward asked, "Then old master, shall I return to the family and bring some of our top experts to deal with that young man..."

"No need!"

Murong Zhantian suddenly interrupted with a gesture, snorting coldly, "Since this youngster also incapacitated the martial instructor, this matter is not only a family affair of the Murong Family, but it also involves the Martial Alliance."

At this point, a robust middle-aged man sitting on the lower left asked, "May I ask the Alliance Hierarch, who is so blind as to provoke and anger you, sir?"

Murong Zhantian turned his head to look at him, sighed deeply, and then roughly explained the situation of Murong Qinglong being crippled.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"This is utterly outrageous; truly, utterly outrageous! That Ye surname boy is far too arrogant; he even dared to harm Young Master Murong. This is utterly lawless!"

The Martial Alliance high-level member who had spoken earlier stood up abruptly, exclaiming, "Alliance Hierarch, just say the word, and I will take people to bring that boy back!"
