Ultimate Master in the City

Huo Chao pointed to Ye Feng beside him and said with a grin, "The secret to improving one's cultivation... is to sleep with Ye Feng..."

Several of the old men nearly fell over backward.

Just then, Ye Lingtian caught on. He looked at Ye Feng and shouted excitedly, "Xiaofeng, I get it now! It must be that Exquisite Jade Pagoda inside your body! It lets any woman you've been intimate with rapidly improve her cultivation!"

He then turned to Patriarch Yu Hai of the Yu family and asked hurriedly, "Old Yu, do you have a granddaughter?"

Yu Hai shook his head, his face full of regret.

Ye Lingtian then looked to Yuan Ping, Patriarch of the Yuan family, and asked, "Old Yuan, do you have a granddaughter?"

Yuan Ping looked at Ye Lingtian. "Is it too late to have one now?"

Everyone was speechless.

But just then, Ye Feng, who was standing nearby, frowned deeply.

Long Xi'Er, ever so perceptive, immediately noticed something was wrong with Ye Feng and asked urgently,

"Ye Feng, what is it?"

Ye Feng's expression turned grave. "My masters told me explicitly that during this time, they would fend off those bastards from the Tribunal so I could focus on my cultivation. But the Tribunal has been showing up here frequently. I suspect my masters are in trouble!"

Hearing this, Long Xi'Er grew anxious as well. "Then call your masters and ask them!"

Ye Feng nodded and took out his phone to call Liu Hanyan, but it was switched off. He then tried his other masters, but without exception, all their phones were off.

Ye Feng's pupils contracted sharply!

'His masters' phones were always reachable, twenty-four hours a day. For all of them to be off at the same time... this clearly meant something was seriously wrong.'

"You couldn't reach any of them?" Long Xi'Er asked anxiously.

Ye Feng nodded, his expression grim. "Something's definitely happened to my masters. I have to return to the Kunlun Sacred Ruins immediately!"

Hearing this, Su Mei, who was standing nearby, cried out, "Xiaofeng, if your masters are really in trouble, what good will it do for you to go? You'll just be walking to your death!"

Ye Feng looked at Su Mei, his voice hoarse. "Mom, my masters didn't just save my life. They cared for me for ten years as if I were their own child and taught me everything they knew without holding anything back. It's safe to say that, like you and Dad, they are the people I'm closest to in this world. Now that they're in trouble, how can I possibly do nothing?

"More importantly, if something has happened to them, it's most likely because the Tribunal is retaliating against them for protecting me. If they're in danger because of me and I just stand by and do nothing... tell me, would I even be human?"

Ye Tianwen, who was standing beside her, looked at Su Mei. "Dear, let Xiaofeng go. If his masters were in trouble and he did nothing, I would look down on him myself!"

Su Mei sighed and fell silent.

Just then, Long Xi'Er looked at Ye Feng and said, "Ye Feng, I will go to my Father Emperor immediately. We will prepare to mobilize all our resources to help you fight the Tribunal."

But Ye Feng shook his head. "Xi'Er, I appreciate the gesture, but the Great Xia Empire isn't strong enough to oppose the Tribunal right now. I don't want innocent people to die for my sake."

Long Xi'Er bit her lip and fell silent.

It had to be said, Ye Feng was right.

Just then, Huo Qingzhu spoke up from the side. "Ye Feng, I'm strong enough to help you now. Let me go with you."

Several others quickly nodded in agreement.

But Ye Feng shook his head. "Qingzhu, I know you're powerful now, and you could definitely help me. But have you considered this? If you go, who will protect our family? I can't have something happen to them while I'm gone, before I've even managed to save my masters!"

"Aren't the grandmasters here?" Huo Qingzhu said stubbornly.

"If the Tribunal really sends people, do you think the grandmasters can fend them off alone?" Ye Feng looked at Huo Qingzhu and pleaded, "Besides, I have... I have several other wives. I need to entrust their safety to you as well!"

'He wants me to protect his other wives?' For a moment, Huo Qingzhu wanted to bite Ye Feng until he was dead. 'But what could she do? She'd married him, for better or for worse.'

In the end, she reluctantly nodded.

Just as Ye Feng was preparing to leave, Ye Lingtian, Huo Yun, and the other two grandmasters stepped forward. "Qingzhu will stay," Ye Lingtian announced. "We old-timers will go with you."

Ye Feng shook his head. "Grandfather, if the Tribunal sends more than one person, do you think Qingzhu can handle them all by herself?"

Ye Lingtian glared at Ye Feng. "How about this? Grandmaster Yu and Grandmaster Yuan will stay behind with Qingzhu to protect the family. But I must go with you. I won't be at ease otherwise."

"Same here," Huo Yun chimed in with a nod.

No matter how desperately Ye Feng tried to talk them out of it, the two men wouldn't budge. Finally, Ye Lingtian glared at Ye Feng and threatened, "Ye Feng, if you dare refuse again, I'll kill myself right here in front of you!"

Everyone glanced at Huo Qingzhu, all thinking the same thing. 'Why does this whole scene feel so familiar?'

Anxious about his masters, Ye Feng delayed no longer. He bid farewell to everyone and, along with Ye Lingtian and Huo Yun, sped off toward the Imperial Capital's airport.
