Chapter 178: Chapter 178: Invoke the Title

It is said that this Mr. Ye was once unassuming and kept a low profile.

But during the United Commerce meeting of the Thirteen Cities in Su Province, he amazed everyone with his abilities in one fell swoop. Afterward, he was even hailed by the leaders of the thirteen cities as the dominant figure of Su Province!

He is someone whose meteoric rise is unprecedented and unparalleled!

Matthew’s face was filled with shock.

He had never expected that Ye Fei, whom he had completely looked down upon, could actually turn out to be a provincial powerhouse!

Does that mean Ye Fei’s status is on par with Jiang Yushuang’s father, the famed Lord Jiang—Jiang Yuanzheng?

At this thought, he immediately glanced at Jiang Yushuang.

Jiang Yushuang’s frown deepened as she said, "It’s said that this Mr. Ye not only commands great influence in Su Province but is also a Martial Artist of considerable strength! Could Ye Fei really be him?"

If Ye Fei were merely someone from the Binjiang Ye Family, then following Ji Yanran here could simply be for the sake of pursuing her.

After all, Ji Yanran’s looks are undeniably of a goddess-like caliber.

But if Ye Fei is indeed that Su Province powerhouse, Mr. Ye, then the purpose of his visit to the Southern Province becomes quite intriguing!

Uncle Xu spoke gravely as well, "Whether he is or isn’t, the young lady must prepare! Moreover, doesn’t the young lady consider this a golden opportunity for our Jiang Family to establish a foothold in Su Province?"

"A golden opportunity? Are you suggesting we capture him?"

Jiang Yushuang, worthy as the Southern Province’s preeminent female prodigy, instantly understood Uncle Xu’s implication.

But just as this thought emerged, Jiang Yushuang frowned and said, "However, I’ve heard that this Mr. Ye’s strength is no trivial matter!"

"Indeed, it’s extraordinary! To command the respect of the thirteen city leaders in Su Province at such a young age, his martial prowess must be astonishing. But even so, at most, he’s probably at the Late Stage of Hua Realm," Uncle Xu replied with a chuckle. "Though this old servant is not particularly gifted, by following the Family Head in cultivation day and night, I have already reached the Mid-stage Hua Realm, only one step from the late stage! If I take action and combine it with the power of the Jiang Family, capturing this person shouldn’t be difficult!"

Hearing Uncle Xu’s words, Jiang Yushuang immediately smiled and said, "With Uncle Xu’s assurance, I understand! If Ye Fei isn’t Yang Yesheng, then I’ll just treat this as doing you, Matthew, a favor!"

"Thank you so much, Sister Yushuang!" Matthew immediately beamed with joy.

However, he soon asked curiously, "But... if he really is...?"

"If he really is?"

Jiang Yushuang let out a cold laugh and said, "If he really is, then for the sake of our Jiang Family, let’s ensure he stays in Xingtian City!"

...

Early the next morning,

Ye Fei slowly awakened from his meditative cultivation, opening his eyes gradually.

After sending Du Yue flying out of the room with a casual sleeve flick last night, no one came to disturb him again, allowing him to focus on his cultivation using the Spirit Stones he’d obtained from Ji Yanran.

The nature’s spiritual energy contained within the Spirit Stone was indeed extraordinary.

Just one night of cultivation yielded results that were more effective than his usual half-month seclusion!

If it weren’t for the plans to return to Binjiang with Ji Yanran today, he would have been reluctant to stop.

With some reluctance, he stored the Spirit Stone back into his Qiankun Bag.

After tidying up briefly, Ye Fei prepared to head out to find Ji Yanran.

But just as he reached Ji Yanran’s door, a hotel attendant approached respectfully and said, "Mr. Ye Fei, Miss Ji already left early this morning."

"Left? Where to?" Ye Fei asked curiously.

"Miss Jiang invited her for morning tea. The address is here. She said that if you came out, you could meet her there directly," the attendant explained, handing him a small note with the address written on it.

"Jiang Manor Hotel?"

Looking at the address in his hand, Ye Fei furrowed his brows.

However, recalling how Ji Yanran and Jiang Yushuang chatted cheerfully the day before, it seemed that their rapport was quite good.

A last bit of girl talk before parting seemed normal enough.

So, Ye Fei didn’t overthink it and promptly headed downstairs. As for his luggage, it had already been stored in his Qiankun Bag long ago, so there was nothing left to pack.

He only needed to meet Ji Yanran and take her home to appease his mother.

Soon after,

Ye Fei arrived at the top floor of the Jiang Manor Hotel, but as he opened the only grand door to the royal suite, he instinctively frowned.

The expansive hall was empty, save for Jiang Yushuang standing there with a faint smile on her face, looking at him.

"Ye Fei, welcome to Jiang Manor!"

Jiang Yushuang smiled as she greeted him the moment Ye Fei pushed through the doors.

But Ye Fei, staring at her smiling face, furrowed his brows and said, "It seems you’re the one who summoned me here!"

"Indeed, though it’s also true that Yanran is downstairs having morning tea," Jiang Yushuang replied with a smile.

"Why have you brought me here?" Ye Fei pressed on.

"Naturally, there’s something important to discuss, Ye Fei... or should I address you as the Su Province powerhouse, Mr. Ye?" Jiang Yushuang’s eyes narrowed slightly as she gazed at him.

"Oh, so you know me?"

A bit surprised, Ye Fei looked at Jiang Yushuang but wasn’t overly shocked.

After all, Scarface had approached him before, and it wasn’t impossible that Scarface had privately informed Jiang Yushuang of his identity.

Seeing Ye Fei admit it, Jiang Yushuang chuckled lightly and said, "Mr. Ye, you underestimate me, Yushuang. With my father recently stimulated by a certain young Martial King to enter seclusion in pursuit of a breakthrough, the affairs of the Jiang Family have naturally fallen under my management. Your arrival in the Southern Province at this time, Mr. Ye, puzzles me greatly. Therefore, I’d like to ask—what brings you here?"

"Simply escorting Ji Yanran back, nothing more," Ye Fei replied honestly.

However, Jiang Yushuang had already made up her mind and wouldn’t believe his words so easily.

Even if Ye Fei’s explanation were genuine, Jiang Yushuang wouldn’t let go of such a golden opportunity to establish the Jiang Family’s influence in Su Province.

Thus, she covered her mouth with a laugh and said, "Mr. Ye, you jest. As a Su Province powerhouse of your stature, would you really come to our Southern Province just to escort Ji Yanran? Do you think I’d believe such a story that even a child wouldn’t buy?"

"So, what are you saying?"

Ye Fei smirked at her confidence as he replied.

"What I’m saying is..."

Jiang Yushuang had no intention of wasting further words with Ye Fei. She clapped her hands casually.

Immediately, the sound of footsteps echoed as numerous hidden doors around the hall opened.

A group of vicious-looking men stormed in, surrounding Ye Fei from all sides, their expressions suggesting they wouldn’t hesitate to tear him apart.

As for Jiang Yushuang, she slowly stepped back a few paces and smiled, "What I’m saying is that I’d like to invite Mr. Ye to be a guest of the Jiang Family for a few days. What do you think?"

"A few days?"

Glancing at the murderous intent in the eyes of the men, Ye Fei chuckled and said, "I’m afraid it’s not a few days, but rather a plan to make me stay forever, isn’t it?"

"But do you really think they can detain me?"

Shaking his head, Ye Fei continued.

Within the Iron Blood Division’s camp, an entire elite division of highly-trained Iron Blood Soldiers had failed to last five minutes against him, even when he fought alone.

The men before him, though numerous, were no match in either quantity or quality compared to Iron Blood Soldiers.

If this was all Jiang Yushuang had prepared, she was indeed underestimating him, Ye Fei.

Perhaps sensing Ye Fei’s disdain,

Jiang Yushuang smiled further and said, "Of course, they alone aren’t enough. But if we add three Hua Realm Martial Artists, does that change the odds?"

Saying this, Jiang Yushuang clapped her hands again.

Soon after, the door reopened, and Uncle Xu entered with two middle-aged men. Together, they blocked Ye Fei’s path from behind.
