The Strongest Urban Son-in-law

Chapter 400: Chapter 399 Gao Tianshou

The proud Gao Zhiyuan, who considered himself the foremost among the younger generation, had just received a huge blow. He absolutely could not allow his younger brother to be stronger than himself. He was determined to defeat Gao Zhixiang.

”You’re going to die!” Gao Zhiyuan roared with anger. His roar echoed throughout the entire Gao Family estate.

”Hmph!” Gao Zhixiang scoffed disdainfully, ”If you’re seeking death, I’ll oblige...”

Then, Gao Zhixiang also raised his momentum to the extreme. Everyone present vaguely felt as if an invisible force field had formed in front of the two men, and these two invisible force fields collided.

Just as the fierce battle between the two was about to erupt, everyone held their breath in anticipation of the excitement.

”Stop fighting, both of you!” At that moment, a deep voice, like the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, suddenly exploded.

The terrifying sound waves echoed around, causing everyone’s minds to tremble, leaving a blank in their brains. A terrifying pressure weighed heavily on everyone.

In the crowd, an elderly man dressed in a Tang suit and holding a walking cane slowly made his way forward, supported by the people around him.

Although the elder appeared frail, his eyes harbored a sharp light, exuding an air of authority that permeated every corner of the room. Upon seeing him, everyone unconsciously grew tense.

This elder had passed his seventieth birthday but still radiated vigorous vitality and energy.

He was none other than the Family Head of the Gao Family, Ye Feng’s grandfather, Gao Tianshou!

Gao Tianshou was nearly eighty years old, a peak Grandmaster, ranked within the top twenty on Dragon Country’s Grandmaster list. His achievements were astonishing, both in Martial Arts and business fields.

It was under Gao Tianshou’s leadership that the Gao Family had rapidly risen to prominence and achieved their current success.

Upon the sight of Gao Tianshou, Ye Feng’s heart also grew complicated.

When Ye Feng’s parents disappeared, at the age of twelve, the Gao Family was already at the pinnacle of Dragon Country, his only relatives. And yet, Gao Tianshou had since ignored him.

Ye Feng didn’t know how his grandfather, Gao Tianshou really viewed him, his grandson.

Of course, Ye Feng didn’t care much about this familial bond. He only hoped to learn something about his mother from Gao Tianshou’s mouth.

”Grandfather!” Upon seeing Gao Tianshou, Gao Ningning, Gao Zhiyuan, Gao Qingqing, and Gao Zhixiang all cried out in unison, their eyes showing reverence for Gao Tianshou.

Gao Tianshou coldly said, ”Today is Ningning’s birthday, and so many people are here. Should brothers of the same family be causing such a ruckus, or do you want to bring further disgrace upon us?”

Gao Zhiyuan angrily retorted, ”Grandfather, it’s not like that. It’s Gao Zhixiang who brought some lowly poor people to our house. I was afraid they would tarnish the Gao Family, so I wanted to clean up. How could I have known that Gao Zhixiang would suddenly come out to shield them?”

”Bullshit! What do you mean by ’lowly poor people’? Do you know them at all? In front of my elder brother, you’re nothing but dog shit!” Gao Zhixiang angrily contradicted loud.

”Enough of this nonsense!” In a fit of rage, Gao Tianshou’s True Essence surged forth, releasing outwardly like a wave, and pushed horizontally towards Gao Zhixiang, Gao Zhiyuan, and Ye Feng.

”Boom!” a muffled sound echoed as Gao Zhixiang and Gao Zhiyuan both put up defenses.

Though Gao Zhixiang managed to resist the blast of True Essence, he staggered back a step.

Gao Zhiyuan, on the other hand, was forced back three steps.

However, Ye Feng simply stood his ground. When the wave of True Essence hit him, it shattered instantly, as if an egg had collided against a hard rock.

”Oh?” Gao Tianshou was extremely shocked in his heart. He hadn’t expected Ye Feng to be completely unaffected. He immediately surmised that although Ye Feng was not a Grandmaster, his strength was very close to that level—definitely a valuable talent.

Moreover, Ye Feng was younger than both Gao Zhixiang and Gao Zhiyuan!

Gao Tianshou was also very pleased; he hadn’t anticipated Gao Zhixiang’s strength to have reached such a level, clearly a Half-step Master and even more powerful than Gao Zhiyuan.

Gao Tianshou addressed them, ”Gao Zhiyuan, as the older brother, your behavior is inappropriate. Today is Ningning’s birthday. Whomever she wishes to invite is her business. Why are you intervening so much?

Look around at the guests here. How many are Ningning’s friends? Instead, all of them seem to be yours. I have to ask, whose birthday is it today, yours or Ningning’s?”

After hearing Gao Tianshou’s questioning, Gao Zhiyuan’s face grew even uglier.

Indeed, today was Gao Ningning’s birthday. She was free to invite whomever she liked; Gao Zhiyuan had no right to interfere so much.

The people around them also fell silent, very embarrassed, unsure of what to say.

”Ladies and gentlemen, I’m delighted that you could join my granddaughter’s birthday banquet today. Since you’re here, you are all guests of the Gao Family, just like Ningning’s friends. I hope you can get along amiably and not cause any incidents in our home, understood?” Gao Tianshou said to those around him in a mild tone.

Those people nodded repeatedly, ”Of course, of course, Elder Gao is right. Miss Ningning’s friends are our friends too. How could we have any conflict with them?”

Gao Tianshou nodded and then turned to Gao Zhiyuan, ”Zhiyuan, watch yourself. Don’t let me hear of you causing trouble again. Let Ningning enjoy her birthday, understand?”

Gao Zhiyuan nodded, not daring to contradict, ”I understand, Grandfather.”

However, Gao Zhiyuan was outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant. Usually, Gao Tianshou would favor him, but today was particularly special; Gao Tianshou sided with Gao Zhixiang and Gao Ningning at every turn, which made Gao Zhiyuan extremely angry, feeling as if he had lost all face. He secretly vowed to find a way for revenge.

Ye Feng also saw clearly that Gao Tianshou was simply pleased with Gao Zhixiang’s rapid progress in strength. Gao Tianshou would support whoever showed strength.

Gao Tianshou declared, ”Alright, there’s nothing more. Everyone, enjoy yourselves and don’t harbor any grudges. I’ll take my leave first.”

Then, Gao Tianshou turned to Gao Zhixiang, ”Zhixiang, come with me for a moment.”
