Chapter 175: Chapter 175: Proactive Behavior

"Then why are you here?" Ye Fei asked.

Scarface shook his head, sighed, and said, "Mr. Ye, wouldn’t it be better for you to stay in Su Province? Now that you’ve come to the Southern Province, it’s making things difficult for our Jiang Family!"

"Jiang Family?"

"Yes, the Jiang Family!"

Scarface sneered coldly, "You’re a big shot in Su Province, while Lord Jiang is the giant in the Southern Province. Do you think that by showing up uninvited, Lord Jiang will just let it go?"

"Kill me?" Ye Fei said with a faint smirk.

But Scarface’s expression remained solemn as he replied, "Exactly, kill you!"

"Lord Jiang’s influence in the Southern Province is far beyond your imagination. As a fellow native of Su Province, Mr. Ye, I advise you to leave as soon as possible!"

Scarface sighed again and continued, "And don’t misunderstand me as issuing you a threat; this is simply the truth. If not for many brothers now living a calm life in Su Province, I wouldn’t bother saying all this. I don’t want your death in the Southern Province to disrupt the peace back home."

Ye Fei looked at Scarface with slight surprise, not expecting him to be so loyal to his roots.

But who was Ye Fei?

A Cultivator at the early Golden Core stage, the undisputed strongest Martial King in China. Ranked first on the Blood Kill List, surpassing even China’s War God, who came second due to him.

How could Ye Fei be persuaded to leave just because of Scarface’s words?

Thus, Ye Fei simply responded with an indifferent expression, "If I don’t want to leave, who could make me?"

"You..."

Hearing Ye Fei’s reply, Scarface pursed his lips and said, "Mr. Ye, I was present during the United Commerce event and witnessed your skills. I know you’re a Martial Artist! But if you think being a Martial Artist means you can act recklessly in the Southern Province, you’re sorely mistaken!"

With that, Scarface seemed unwilling to speak further. He immediately opened the car door and got in.

As the vehicle was about to start, Scarface sneered coldly and said, "Mr. Ye, I came here with good intentions and have said all I can! If you insist on being stubborn, don’t blame our Jiang Family for being merciless!"

Swish!

With that, Scarface’s car sped off, leaving only a trail of dust behind.

"Ye Fei, do you have friends here in Xingtian City? That looked like a Jiang Family car just now!"

At that moment, Ji Yanran, seemingly done with her prayers, walked down the hill and saw Scarface’s car driving away. She curiously asked Ye Fei.

"Oh? You know the Jiang Family?" Ye Fei asked with some surprise.

"In the entire Southern Province, who doesn’t know the Jiang Family?"

Ji Yanran replied with a smile, "Every year during the New Year, a lot of Martial Artists, including the Wei Family, visit the Jiang Family to pay their respects!"

"A lot of Martial Artists?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Fei frowned and asked, "Is the Jiang Family also a Martial Artist family?"

"Yes and no!"

Ji Yanran explained with a smile, "The Jiang Family is essentially a local wealthy family. The reason why Martial Artists, including the Wei Family, visit them during the year’s end is because the family head, Jiang Yuanzheng, is a Martial Artist at the peak of the Hua Realm! Moreover, he’s renowned as the top Martial Artist below the rank of Martial King, earning the nickname Lord Jiang!"

"I see!"

After hearing this, Ye Fei finally understood.

But he quickly dismissed these thoughts from his mind.

Lord Jiang?

Just a mere Martial Artist at the peak of the Hua Realm – someone who could be eradicated with a single move. To think he’d dare oppose Ye Fei? Nothing more than a presumptuous clown!

After finishing her prayers for her father, Ji Yanran had one more task: to check in with her mother.

Thus, Ye Fei immediately drove toward Xingtian City’s downtown area.

Within just ten minutes, they arrived at the entrance of a rather unique tea house.

Its uniqueness lay in its massive size.

It was comparable to the large restaurants nearby, and most of the cars parked here were luxury vehicles.

Under these circumstances, Ye Fei’s Porsche, initially striking, now seemed quite ordinary.

Looking at the tea house ahead, Ye Fei couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

Wasn’t Ji Yanran supposed to meet her mother?

Why come to a place like this?

Seemingly perceiving his confusion, Ji Yanran smiled and explained, "This tea house belongs to the uncle my mother married. She should be inside! It’s just that whenever I visit, I can’t help feeling a bit timid..."

As she spoke, Ji Yanran blinked expectantly at Ye Fei.

Ye Fei shook his head lightly and said, "Alright, I’ll go in with you. Let’s get this over with quickly so we can leave soon."

"Great!"

Hearing Ye Fei’s response, Ji Yanran happily jumped up twice, then led him into the tea house.

Once inside, Ji Yanran, clearly familiar with the layout, guided Ye Fei through twists and turns to an office door.

At that moment, they heard a young woman’s voice from inside, laughing softly, "Yanran, is that you? Come in!"

Ji Yanran paused in surprise but soon stepped forward to open the door.

Inside, they saw a young woman, roughly twenty years old, dressed in professional attire, sitting behind a desk. Across from her sat a man of similar age.

Ji Yanran glanced at the man, then quickly turned to the woman and asked, "Sister Du Yue? Why are you here? Where’s my mom?"

The woman, Du Yue, smiled as she stood up and replied, "You’ve been traveling around so much lately, you wouldn’t know. Auntie has been on vacation with my dad, so I’m managing things here for now."

As she spoke, Du Yue looked Ye Fei up and down with a hint of displeasure in her eyes and asked, "Yanran, who is he?"

"Oh, let me introduce you. Ye Fei, this is Sister Du Yue, the daughter of Uncle Du."

"This is Ye Fei, he’s... he’s my friend!"

Ji Yanran hurried to introduce them to each other but faltered when speaking about Ye Fei. Strictly speaking, they were almost strangers. Were it not for the Wei Family Auction House, they wouldn’t have crossed paths.

Even her decision to follow Ye Fei afterward had been entirely her own initiative.

However, upon hearing Ji Yanran’s introduction, Du Yue’s frown deepened.

Appearance?

Ye Fei looked utterly ordinary, the type of person who would blend into a crowd without being noticed.

Temperament?

He exuded an air of calm, remaining indifferent even under scrutiny.

Such composure typically stemmed from two reasons:

The first was experience with major events, cultivating a sense of ease.

But considering Ye Fei’s youth – no more than seventeen or eighteen – he hardly seemed like someone seasoned by grand occasions.

The second possibility was arrogance and lack of self-awareness.

Clothing?

His casual outfit appeared extremely plain. With Du Yue’s discerning eye, the ensemble likely cost less than three hundred yuan in total!

For all these reasons, Du Yue couldn’t see Ye Fei as a suitable match for Ji Yanran.

After all, although Ji Yanran was a minor figure in the Wei Family Auction House, she stood out in the ordinary world.

Despite her father’s early passing, the fortune he left – several million yuan – marked her as well-off.

Moreover, Ji Yanran’s natural beauty and the unique aura of Martial Artists drew countless suitors in Xingtian City.

Yet now, after spending some time away, she returned with Ye Fei, a seemingly unremarkable young man. Naturally, Du Yue doubted his intentions in getting close to Ji Yanran.

But before Du Yue could speak, the man sitting across from her rose with a smile and said, "Ye Fei, right? Hi, I’m Matthew. Knowing Yanran for so long, it’s the first time she’s brought a stranger here."

"Ye Fei!" Ye Fei briefly stated his name in a calm manner, then fell silent.
