Chapter 991: Chapter 989: Pretending and Losing Life

Xiao Yifeng, the man who had caused him disgrace and injury, was someone that Cai Pengfei certainly hadn’t forgotten. He had always kept this enemy in mind, never expecting that he would run into him so coincidentally today.

Cai Pengfei, upon seeing the few beautiful women by Xiao Yifeng’s side, revealed a cold smirk at the corner of his mouth and walked over. Looking at Xiao Yifeng, he said coldly,

"Yo, isn’t this Doctor Xiao? Why aren’t you staying in Tianhai but coming to Yanjing instead? And you’ve charmed a few such pretty ladies. How about sharing them with me and my brothers behind me?"

"I’ll tell you this, my brothers here are among the top young nobles of the Yanjing Noble Circle. If they take a fancy to the girls next to you, it’d be your good fortune."

"Scram!"

Xiao Yifeng casually glanced at the other party and spat out a word indifferently.

"You’ve got some nerve, kid, to talk like that. You’re not taking me and my brothers seriously, are you? Do you have a death wish?"

Cai Pengfei suddenly shouted in anger, a sinister cold light flashing in his eyes. He was about to address his fellow gentry when those very young nobles stared at Cai Pengfei with anger.

"How dare you offend Mr. Xiao, Cai Pengfei? Are you looking for death?"

The group of young nobles glared at Cai Pengfei as they spoke.

"Mr. Xiao?"

Cai Pengfei looked puzzled, having only recently arrived in Yanjing, unaware of what Xiao Yifeng had been up to in the city.

However, these young nobles, though not descendants of the Eight Great Families but still some of the most influential in Yanjing, how could they not recognize Xiao Yifeng, the Ruthless Person?

This was someone who dared to kill even the Young Master Wu, certainly not someone they could afford to offend. Now Cai Pengfei was dragging them into a fight against Xiao Yifeng, pushing them toward Hell.

"Mr. Xiao, we have nothing to do with what this fool just said. We hope you won’t take it the wrong way."

The noble young men quickly bowed and spoke to Xiao Yifeng, their attitudes extremely humble. This left Cai Pengfei totally flabbergasted, not comprehending what was happening.

"I don’t want to see him!"

Xiao Yifeng casually glanced at Cai Pengfei.

"Understood!"

The young nobles nodded and immediately dragged Cai Pengfei away.

"Let’s go have dinner."

Xiao Yifeng said to the ladies and headed inside the hotel. However, he was unaware that his casual remark had just caused Cai Pengfei to encounter a deadly hazard.

He had merely said he didn’t want to see Cai Pengfei, expecting them to just take the man away.

But the young nobles had interpreted Xiao Yifeng’s wish as wanting Cai Pengfei to vanish from this world, and as a result, they tortured Cai Pengfei before putting an end to him.

Until his death, Cai Pengfei never imagined that a simple grudge in his heart and a few words would lead him to his demise.

Moreover, it was at the hands of friends who had been calling each other brothers just a moment before. The world changes too quickly, truly unpredictable.

After having a meal with the ladies, Xiao Yifeng sent them back to the villa in Xiangxie Garden, and then he headed to the Lan Family.

In the Lan Family’s hall, Lan Xuande and Lan He were seated. Xiao Yifeng walked in.

"Little Feeng, I hear you killed all those from the Wu Family?"

Lan Xuande looked directly at Xiao Yifeng and asked.

"Yes, they made a move against the people around me, so I had no choice but to kill them all."

Xiao Yifeng spoke with an indifferent expression.

"You really are bold. Even the Wu Family fell at your hands. However, I’ve heard that there’s a Young Master Wu who is a disciple of the Sect Master of the Sect of Fiery Separation, and you disabled one of his arms. That’s making an enemy of the Sect of Fiery Separation."

Lan Xuande looked solemnly at Xiao Yifeng.

"Patriarch Lan, you need not worry. I always have a sense of measure. I’m known for my tough fate; the person capable of killing me is probably still unborn."

Xiao Yifeng smiled, unfazed, and then said, "By the way, Patriarch Lan, the main reason for my visit this time is to discuss the Heart of Seven Orifices. I’ve already obtained two pieces of the Heart of Seven Orifices; the only piece left is the one from Shu Mountain."

"I’m already arranging for someone to take action. Once we get the piece from Shu Mountain, we’ll be able to assemble a complete Heart of Seven Orifices, and then Miss Lan will be saved."

"Now it’s probably going to be very difficult to get that piece of the Heart of Seven Orifices, Young Master Lü won’t easily hand it over again."

Lan He said in a deep voice.

"I have my ways."

A slight smile appeared on Xiao Yifeng’s lips.

"If you really can assemble a complete Heart of Seven Orifices and save Ling’er, then Little Feng, you will become our Lan Family’s great benefactor. You can name any condition, and of course, if you wish to develop a relationship with our family’s Ling’er, I’m afraid you’ll need to ask for Ling’er’s opinion."

Lan Xuande said.

"What do you mean, ask for my opinion?"

At that moment, Lan Linger happened to walk in, wearing a light smile rippling like water, her appearance otherworldly and refreshing to behold.

"Mr. Xiao!"

Lan Linger looked at Xiao Yifeng, bowed slightly with grace, her demeanor refined as befits a lady from a noble family.

"Miss Lan!"

Xiao Yifeng responded with a slight nod.

"Ling’er, Little Feng has already found two pieces of the Heart of Seven Orifices and is in search of the remaining one. It shouldn’t take much longer to find it."

"I just said that if Little Feng assembles the Heart of Seven Orifices and cures your illness, then I might let you two try to develop a relationship, of course, all according to your wishes."

Lan Xuande spoke indifferently.

"I..."

Lan Linger’s lips parted slightly, but she didn’t know what to say, her face inexplicably flushed with color.

"Patriarch Lan is too kind. If I did that, how would I be any different from Lv Yichen? I, Xiao Yifeng, would never take advantage of the situation to make such demands."

"If I liked Miss Lan, I would actively pursue her myself, not rely on my status as her lifesaver to win her over."

Xiao Yifeng spoke calmly, his gaze sweeping past Lan Linger, who, upon meeting Xiao Yifeng’s eyes, blushed even deeper, and involuntarily lowered her head.

"Good, a man who doesn’t exploit vulnerabilities, I admire that. If you could become my granddaughter’s husband, that would be quite desirable," Patriarch Lan said with a smile.

"Thank you for your praise, Patriarch Lan."

Xiao Yifeng said with a slight smile, while Lan Linger’s cheeks remained blushing, her eyes gleaming.

"This lad, you’ve really got a knack for charming the parents. I have to admire your skill; you really are something else."

Long Qian exclaimed.

"There’s a lot more to me than just that."

Xiao Yifeng said confidently.

"Little Feng, since you’ve injured Lv Yichen this time, I’m afraid he won’t let it go easily and might seek revenge at any time. Be careful."

Lan Xuande reminded Xiao Yifeng as he watched him.
