Chapter 712 - 751: Laying Out a Maze of Confusion
"Who is this person? Which family does he belong to?" Everyone had the same question pop up in their minds almost simultaneously. The Second steward was indeed a master, but now there was someone even more skillful, whose family affiliation was unknown.
It was Li Yifei standing there, but he was in disguise. Through makeup, he made himself look over forty, with a darker complexion. He spoke up with a heavy voice, "everyone! Today is the grand birthday of the Old Master of the Ye Family, yet you all end up fighting here. Isn’t this disrespectful to our Old Master?"
"Are you from the Ye family?" The Second steward blurted out in shock.
Li Yifei nodded and said, "Indeed, I ask everyone to please calm down. If it is our Ye family’s neglect in hospitality, then let me first apologize on our behalf. If this is a matter of personal pride, then please pick another time and place. I will not interfere again."
The Second steward sized up Li Yifei and said slowly, "We are all martial artists. It’s our pleasure to have a match; there’s no disrespect to the Old Master of the Ye Family intended."
Hearing the previously arrogant Second steward of the Song Family talk politely now just showed that the strike earlier had made him realize the strength of this man from the Ye family, but exactly how strong he was still unclear. After all, the scene had passed in the blink of an eye, and no one saw clearly what had happened.
With a faint smile, Li Yifei said, "There’s of course no problem with having a match, but I’d suggest that today, we’d better have a chat without coming to blows. After all, with all the great masters here, any casual move would be astoundingly destructive. Our Ye family has modest means and can’t afford the damages you might cause."
The Second steward laughed heartily and said, "You’re right. I am Cheng Dong, a steward of the Song Family." He then reached out his hand to Li Yifei.
"Ye Liu!" Li Yifei also extended his hand.
However, their hands did not immediately grip each other. There was a subtle movement, and then they quickly let go. The Second steward’s face became even more bizarre, as he gave a chuckle and said, "I truly did not expect that the Ye family had such a master like Ye Da."
