Chapter 136 – Live here…!
When Liu Mu met Ye Zifeng’s gaze, his face turned pale and his expression stiffened. He was feeling very complicated.
“You….Are you doing well? Liu Mu stared at Ye Zifeng for a while and then realized that he had asked a dumb question.
Actually, he was super shocked by the news of Ye Zifeng and Liu Bingqian becoming alchemy champions. Add that onto the fact that Ye Zifeng is the winner of the heavenly clan gathering as well as the fact Ye Zifeng had beaten himself in a bet, Liu Mu didn’t think too badly of Ye Zifeng anymore.
However, the bond between the two families were not so good anymore. Liu Mu was worried for her daughter after seeing how much she cared for him.
Ye Zifeng stared at Liu Mu blankly and then smiled, “Thank you uncle Liu for caring. After taking these pills, I’m feeling a lot better.
“How did you get injured? Why is it so severe? Liu Mu squinted and asked while sizing up his injury. He thought about something but didn’t think that it was possible.
Ye Zifeng laughed softly, “It’s no big deal.”
Seeing that Ye Zifeng wasn’t willing to tell, Liu Mu didn’t even bother asking any further. He was giving Ye Zifeng face by asking him about it in the first place.
“Alright. Since you’re feeling a bit better, why don’t you try to see if you can walk?”
If anyone wants to win Liu Mu’s respect, they need to have the ability to. Ye Zifeng was able to do so, thus, the clan master of one of the three great clans in Leizhou City was polite towards him.
What Liui Mu wanted to say was, “Since you’re feeling better, then it should be time that you scram.” However, he kept his thoughts on the inside.
However, Liu Bingqian saw through her father’s true intentions and firmly decided on something.
“Father, I’ve decided to let big brother rough guy live here!”
When Liu Bingqian said that, Liu Ningzi and Liu Yige was coincidentally walking by.
Three people were shocked. Their bodies froze and their hearts sank like a sinking ship.
Liu Ningzi had a complicated expression on her face. She looked at Ye Zifeng then bit her lips and didn’t say anything.
“Sister Bingqian. What are you thinking? Why are you letting someone with a different surname live in our home? How will others look at us?” Liu Yige furrowed his brows and immediately opened up.
Flames could be seen in his eyes. When he heard that Ye Zifeng was in their home, he came over with Liu Ningzi to see what was going on. Who would’ve thought that Liu Bingqian would have him stay.”
“I don’t agree. We can’t let someone with a different surname live here. There’s no discussion here!”
“The things that I, Bingqian, do, needs your agreement?”
Liu Bingqian coldly looked at Liu Yige, “Also, speaking of outsiders, aren’t you one too? If you want to kick big brother rough guy out, then why don’t you scram first?”
“You!” Liu Yige’s face turned red. He couldn’t yell at the eldest sister in front of her father.
Normally, Liu Bingqian would give Liu Yige some face because of her father. But now, he dragged Ye Zifeng into everything so she didn’t hold back a bit. She said whatever she wanted to.
“Alright. Enough. The guest is still here so stop arguing for no reason. You’re making fun of yourselves in front of nephew Zifeng.”
“Alright.” Liu Yige snorted and walked back besides Liu Ningzi.
“Nephew Zifeng, I feel like…..”
Ye Zifeng smiled and stood up, “I know what uncle Liu is thinking. Thus, I will return to the Ye clan. However, I might need a few Qi Nurturing Pills. I hope uncle Liu won’t mind.”
“No problem. Take whatever you want.”
It was merely a few Qi Nurturing PIlls. Liu Mu didn’t worry at all. Seeing how straightforward Ye Zifeng was, Liu Mu was feeling good towards him for the first time ever.
The title of champion, anyone with the ability can get it. However, the way that one behaves is learned. Ye Zifeng knows how to behave. He knows when to back off. It seems like Ye Zifeng will have a bright future ahead of him.
Thus, Liu Mu was happy to ally themselves with the Ye clan. But, not as far as becoming relatives.
After all, his younger daughter had cancelled an engagement on them. If he let his elder daughter marry Ye Zifeng, then he will lose face. People will definitely talk behind his back.
“Well then, Ye Zifeng will leave now.”
Ye Zifeng smiled and forcefully bowed.
Suddenly, he stumbled and spat out a mouthful of blood onto the floor. It made people feel worried.
“Big brother rough guy! You still want to leave?” Liu Bingqian hurried over and rubbed his back. She was extremely worried for him.
When Liu NIngzi saw this, her heart thumped. She wanted to make a move but when she saw Bingqian act, she stayed in her place. She stood there quietly while watching Ye Zifeng with a complicated look.
“Father, Sis, look at how severe his injury is. If you want him to leave now, you might as well ask him to go die.”
Ye Zifeng actually did want to return to the Ye clan. He didn’t leave because he couldn’t. This made things difficult for Liu Mu.
If Ye Zifeng gets into some sort of accident on his way home, then Ye Chongtian will definitely come and make a fuss about it. Wiping the Liu clan out is not possible but he’ll make the Liu clan suffer quite a bit.
This was a decision between ‘face’ and ‘benefits’. Liu Mu is a smart person so he would obviously benefits.
He let out a long sigh and calmly said, “Nephew Zifeng, don’t get me wrong. Don’t think that uncle Liu is trying to kick you out. Bingqian is right. Your injuries are severe. I say, you should stay here for the night.”
He didn’t say what he would do later on. He was only talking about tonight. This phrase was very well thought out.
“Father…..” Liu Yige saw that Ye Zifeng was allowed to stay for the night and felt a bit angry.
“Yeah. Big brother rough guy. Don’t force yourself. Even if you safely return to the Ye clan, it will only make things worse.” Liu Bingqian seriously looked at him.
“Then….many thanks to uncle Liu.” Ye Zifeng force a smile.
Actually, after taking a few Qi Nurturing Pills, he was feeling better. If he really wanted to return to the Ye clan, it won’t be a problem.
However, Ye Zifeng returned as the champion. And if the first thing he does is stay over at the Liu clan, then it will attract many people’s attention. It’ll make them wonder the relationship between the two families.
This is exactly what Ye Zifeng wanted.
If before, people thought that the alliance was nothing but a facade, then now, after Ye Zifeng stays for the night, people might think about it.
Thus, Ye Zifeng happily stayed over for the night.
The unstable power struggle in Leizhou City was slowly changing due to Ye Zifeng.
……
……
At the same time, in the Wang clan.
“Big bro, did you hear that Ye Zifeng had returned?” Wang Lin shook as he looked happily at his elder brother.
“So what is he back? What are you so happy about? Could it be that you and second brother can’t wait to be punished again?”
After mentioning about Tiandao City, Wang Lin looked downwards and didn’t say anything.
Wang Tianzhi saw this and raised his brow.
“You don’t need to say anything. I know what you want. Also, I heard that he’s injured and went straight to the Liu clan….”
“What? What’s he doing at the Liu clan? Shouldn’t he be going back home?” Wang Lin was startled.
“This means that the Ye clan and Liu doesn’t doesn’t have a simple relationship. It has surpassed our imaginations already. It’s probably not as simple as a normal alliance.”
Wang Tianzhi became serious. Last time, he was beaten by Ye Zifeng. When he wanted to get revenge for his brothers, he was stopped by Elder Shen. He had been thinking of ways to deal with him.
Wang Mengxi calmly replied, “Big brother. I think that it’s because the Ye clan doesn’t have any high level medicine so he went to the Liu clan.”
“Maybe. But what kind of injury did he suffer? When did he receive it? He was able to return from Tiandao City without any problems….. I don’t think his injury is that severe. If I’m right, then this Ye Zifeng is very scary…..”
Wang Tianzhi furrowed his brows and thought about things.
Wang Lin looked at Wang Tianzhi weirdly, “Big bro, what do you mean by that? Why is he very scary?”
“Because if he can use his own injuries as a benefit, then his personality is very scary…Maybe I’m just thinking too much…..”
