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

Ye Feng and the others returned to the Hong Family, and the night had darkened, passing without incident.

As dawn broke the next day, Hong Zhenguo left the Hong Family to head for the Headquarters of the Martial Alliance in Jiangdu, presumably to convey a message on behalf of Ye Feng.

When the first ray of sunlight shone through the window, Ye Feng got out of bed and, as usual, sat cross-legged, watching the golden morning light and began his breathing technique.

His technique of breathing and Seal Formation was quite peculiar, and as time went by, a visible white mist gathered around him. Most astonishingly, a golden glow faintly appeared above his head.

In the moment when the golden light surfaced above his head, Ye Feng’s lips curled slightly upward, revealing a smile that had been absent for a long time.

"As the saying goes, ’without breaking, there is no establishing’; now I see, now I see!" Ye Feng exclaimed with a smile.

Just then, a knock came at the door, and Hong Qingyan entered with breakfast, smiling, "Big Brother Ye, have you stumbled upon some joyful news? You seem very happy."

Ye Feng smiled, "Hearing that you’ve prepared breakfast and it’s not only cabbage dishes, of course, is a happy occasion."

Hong Qingyan rolled her eyes at him and proceeded to help Ye Feng wash up.

After breakfast, Hong Zhenguo returned and went straight to the attic.

"Mr. Ye, I went to the Jiangdu Martial Alliance early this morning and have just returned from there," Hong Zhenguo said.

"How did it go?" Ye Feng asked.

"I’m embarrassed to say that I couldn’t even see the legendary Alliance Hierarch Great Grandmaster, let alone enter the doors of the Martial Alliance," said Hong Zhenguo with a bitter smile.

Despite the Hong Family being a commercial giant in Jiangdu, they were barely noticeable in the eyes of the Martial Alliance, which was a nationwide organization. Furthermore, core members and protectors of the alliance, many of whom hailed from ancient families, held positions of power within the Jiangdu branch.

Ye Feng’s brows furrowed slightly, but he said nothing, acknowledging the Martial Alliance’s arrogance which had made it the dominant force in Jiangdu.

Hong Zhenguo continued, "However, the matter you entrusted to me last night has been relayed, and they will likely report it to the Alliance Hierarch Great Grandmaster."

Ye Feng nodded slightly, "That will suffice."

Hong Zhenguo moved his lips as if he wanted to say something but ultimately remained silent.

In fact, he was somewhat worried. Although Ye Feng, as the ’Northern Border King’, had no reason to fear the Jiangdu Martial Alliance, the alliance represented a collective power. Who knew if there were some higher-ups in the Jiangdu branch, or if there was support coming from the Dragon City of the Imperial Capital?

Ye Feng, however, was not concerned at all and then, asked Hong Qingyan to push his wheelchair for a stroll in the courtyard.

On the way, Hong Qingyan pondered before speaking, "Big Brother Ye, I need to go out for a bit today; I’m afraid I won’t be able to accompany you this afternoon."

"Where to? Is there something at the group company?" Ye Feng asked casually.

"Not the group, I plan to visit the orphanage."

"The orphanage?" Tang Feng was somewhat surprised.

Hong Qingyan paused before explaining with a bitter smile, "You see, before Grandpa brought me home, I grew up in an orphanage. It wasn’t until I was five that Grandpa took me back to the Hong Family."

"Although I no longer want for anything in the Hong Family, there are still many orphans at the orphanage who are just as pitiable as I was. I actually visit them every week, and Mrs. Liu from the orphanage has always been very kind to me."

Ye Feng understood and nodded, "It just so happens I’m free too, so I’ll accompany you. Consider it a way to relax."

Hong Qingyan said happily, "Big Brother Ye, you’re willing to accompany me?"

Ye Feng smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I’m an orphan too. I left Jiangdu when I was twelve and haven’t been back for many years. I was just thinking of revisiting the old scenes."

"Then let’s set off right now, shall we?" Hong Qingyan was extremely delighted.

It was still the Toyota Alphard from yesterday, and Seventeen was driving again as the three of them set off.

As the car drove out of the Hong Family’s gate, Hong Yuting, along with Hong Wei and others, walked out of the hall.

"This damned crippled son-in-law, to think he is still so relaxed and comfortable. He killed the Head of the Chu Family yesterday and I even heard that he injured more than a dozen members of the Martial Alliance. Does he really not feel the slightest bit of fear or worry?" Hong Wei said in a grave voice.

"He knows what it’s like to worry and be afraid? There’s a saying that fits well, ’Ignorance breeds fearlessness,’ and it refers to this kind of stupid, ignorant waste."

Hong Yuting curled her lips, her eyes filled with venomous spite, "Just wait and see. While the Chu Family may not carry enough weight, the Jiangdu branch of the Martial Alliance isn’t to be taken lightly. He left several of their members crippled yesterday. The Martial Alliance won’t let him get away with it!"

Hong Wei humphed, "It’s a good thing you distanced yourself from him yesterday, sister. You didn’t get involved with him anymore. Otherwise, when the people from the Martial Alliance come knocking for payback, we might get dragged down too."

"Get involved with him?" Hong Yuting laughed and said, "A cripple? I, the number one beauty of Jiangdu, would take notice of him? It was only because I didn’t pay him any attention that Hong Qingyan, that foundling, mattered at all."

Hong Wei nodded and asked, "By the way, father rushed out early in the morning, saying that General Manager Shen Minghua had asked for a meeting. Is there something going on?"

Hong Yuting replied nonchalantly, "How would I know about that? That Shen Minghua also pursued me before, but I rejected him."

Upon mentioning this, Hong Yuting’s face showed pride. As Jiangdu’s number one beauty and the focus of the socialite world, she was admired by many. Though Shen Minghua was one of the younger generation and quite outstanding, he was still far from being good enough for her.

Suddenly, Hong Wei said, "Oh sister, speaking of your suitors, it reminds me of someone."

"Who? I have many suitors; enough to circle around Jiangdu. Who are you talking about?" Hong Yuting said proudly.

"It’s not someone from Jiangdu. To be honest, none of the young talents from Jiangdu are worthy of you. Even Chu Tiange, who’s ranked in the top ten here, is nothing but trash."

"Not from Jiangdu? Are you talking about someone from the Southern River Region Jiangnan Province?" Hong Yuting raised her eyebrows inquiringly.

Hong Wei nodded, "Exactly, from the Jiangnan Province, Jiang Tianlong of the Jiang Family." Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Jiang Tianlong, one of the Four Great Dragon Sons of Jiangnan? I have some impression of him." Hong Yuting said somewhat proudly because her fame as the number one beauty of Jiangdu had even spread to the Jiangnan Province.

Hong Wei said with a smile, "Just yesterday, this young master of the Jiang Family contacted me because of Chu Tiange’s incident. I told him the general situation, and Jiang Tianlong said he would visit Jiangdu in a few days. Sister, if you’re interested, shall I arrange it?"

Hong Yuting pondered for a moment and then nodded, "Alright, arrange it when the time comes. Also, include those young talents from the ancient families that control the Jiangdu branch of the Martial Alliance. It’ll be clear who stands out when we compare them side by side."

"No problem, sister. You can rest assured I’ll gather all the young talents from the Southern River Region Jiangnan Province and see who catches your eye," he said.

Hong Yuting smiled smugly, her eyes gleaming as she suddenly said, "Right, while you’re at it, invite our lovely crippled son-in-law too. You understand what I mean, right?"

Hong Wei’s eyes lit up, "Understood."

Grinding her teeth, Hong Yuting said, "As the saying goes, you don’t feel the pain till the comparison is made. Is that Ye fellow not arrogant enough? When he is compared with those young talents from the Jiangnan Province, he will understand what a gap truly is!"
