Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Chapter 544 - 574: Feuding with Wudang Sect

Jiang Yitong was an absolute beauty, and Ye Fei naturally didnʼt want her to marry someone else. However, he didnʼt blame Shui Rou. He knew that these reclusive sects mostly still followed the old rules, where the marriage of the younger generation was often decided by a single word from the elders.

Moreover, Shui Rou had never experienced love herself and didnʼt understand these things. It was quite normal for her to agree happily when she felt that the Wudang disciple was a good match for her apprentice.

”Her own opinion?” Shui Rou was taken aback for a moment. If someone from another reclusive sect had said this, she would have dismissed it outright.

But Ye Fei was different. First, he wasnʼt from the reclusive world and probably didnʼt understand these rules. Second, Ye Fei was a great benefactor to their entire Shuiyue Palace, and his opinion couldnʼt be ignored. So she asked Jiang Yitong, ”Tongtong, what do you think?”

Jiang Yitong first glanced at Ye Fei secretly, her face turning slightly red. Then she said in a low voice, ”Master, Iʼm sorry, but Tongtong doesnʼt want to get married. I want to stay by your side forever.”

In the past, she would have been indifferent about the marriage, as she had grown up in Shuiyue Palace and didnʼt understand worldly love.

But things were different now. She had someone in her heart and naturally didnʼt want to marry someone she had never even met.

The reason she had come this time was not to meet that lay disciple at all. It was because she had overheard the Grand Master Shui Ying ”casually” mention that Ye Fei would also be attending, which had made her follow on a whim.

”This...” Shui Rou was now in a dilemma. She wasnʼt an unreasonable person and didnʼt want to force her apprentice. But she had already agreed to Impulsive Daoist, and it would be embarrassing to go back on her word now.

As the saying goes, ”What you fear is what you get.”

Just as Shui Rou was unsure of what to do, two people approached quickly from the distance. Before they even got close, the leader spoke loudly, ”Heavenly respect, I didnʼt expect that Water Layperson would arrive so soon. I failed to welcome you properly; my apologies.”

Everyone turned to look and saw a black-haired, black-bearded old Daoist walking briskly towards them. Judging by his tone, he must have been the head of Wudang, Impulsive Daoist.

By his side was a young man in a casual suit, quite handsome and seemingly not weak in martial arts.

At least he had no trouble keeping up with the old Daoist the lay disciple Shui Rou had mentioned.

Although none of the people present had much of a relationship with the old Daoist, he was still the head of a major sect and one of the main organizers of this gathering. So, everyone stood up out of respect.

However, the old Daoist completely ignored everyone except Shui Rou and Jiang Yitong. He greeted Shui Rou with a salute, ”Layperson Shui, this is my unworthy disciple, Liu Yanchang.”

Annoyed by the old Daoistʼs rudeness, Ye Fei sat back down on the ground with a huff and muttered, ”If heʼs unworthy, then donʼt parade him around to embarrass yourself!”

The old Daoist glanced at Ye Fei coldly but didnʼt say anything. Instead, he turned to Jiang Yitong and said, ”Young girl, itʼs been two years. Do you still remember this old Daoist?”

Ye Feiʼs comment almost made Jiang Yitong laugh out loud. She forced herself to hold back her laughter and replied, ”Greetings, Daoist. I am Jiang Yitong, your junior.”

”Good, good, the young girl is very polite. Well done!”

The old Daoist smiled approvingly, then turned to the young man beside him and said, ”Yanchang, this is the wife Iʼve chosen for you. Are you satisfied? If you have no objections, donʼt disturb othersʼ enjoyment here. Take her for a walk somewhere else.”

Seeing so many stunning beauties at once, Liu Yanchang felt a bit dizzy. Especially Liu Yiru and Shui Ying, who made him wish he could glue his eyeballs to them.

But as a disciple of a prestigious sect, he didnʼt want to lose face in public, so he tried to keep his eyes focused. He only looked at Jiang Yitong, not paying much attention to the girl who was already his ”fiancée.”

This made Jiang Yitong very uncomfortable, and she hid behind her master, thinking to herself that even if she didnʼt have feelings for him, she wouldnʼt marry a man like him.

”Wait a moment!” Seeing that Liu Yanchang intended to take Jiang Yitong away, Shui Rou quickly intervened.

Since she was the one who had agreed in the first place, she felt it was her responsibility to handle this now. She said, ”Daoist, Iʼm sorry, but I just asked my apprenticeʼs opinion, and she thinks this is all happening too fast. Maybe we should think it over more carefully?”

”What did you say?” Impulsive Daoistʼs face darkened immediately. Although Shui Rouʼs words were polite, he could tell she was rejecting them, which made him very unhappy, as he was a man of his word.

Shui Rou sighed and said, ”Daoist, I think matters between the younger generation should be left to them to resolve. After all, times have changed, and we should respect their opinions. Judging by your discipleʼs appearance, he seems to be from the secular world and should understand this best.”

”So youʼre saying Layperson Shui is going to go back on her word?” The old Daoist said with a gloomy face, without even consulting his disciple.

This wasnʼt exactly a retraction, Shui Rou argued, ”Itʼs not going back on our word. We only agreed to let them get to know each other initially.”

”Alright then, let them get to know each other,” the old Daoist suddenly smiled strangely, ”Yanchang, did you hear that? Donʼt just stand there. Take Miss Yitong and get to know her properly!”

”Wow, this old guy has potential. Heʼs not only a matchmaker now, but heʼs also learned to abduct brides. Hey old Daoist, I think youʼd fit right in with me. How about it? Leave Wudang and join my Lingyun Society. Iʼll make sure you can bully people every day,” Ye Fei, who had long been annoyed by the unreasonable old Daoist, couldnʼt stand by any longer and started to mock him openly.

”Young whippersnapper, have you ever heard the saying ʼcalamity comes from oneʼs mouthʼ?” Impulsive Daoist glared at Ye Fei coldly.

Ye Feiʼs earlier comment had already irritated him, but he had let it slide, thinking it beneath him to argue with a young man. However, now he couldnʼt hold back any longer.

Ye Fei wasnʼt intimidated in the slightest and retorted with a cold laugh, ”What, getting angry because I exposed you?”

”Young whippersnapper, asking for death!”

Todayʼs rejection by a minor reclusive sect like Shuiyue Palace had left him feeling extremely humiliated.

But since they were also from the reclusive world, he didnʼt want to make a scene right away.

Now, with Ye Fei as a convenient target for his anger, he had a chance to vent and assert his authority. With a roar, he lunged at Ye Fei, his palm strike fierce and powerful, clearly using all his strength.

Faced with the powerful palm strike, Ye Fei seemed not to notice at all and continued to sit there with a cold smile. Liu Yiru, however, stepped forward and said with a gentle smile, ”Daoist, thereʼs no need to be so impulsive, is there?”

As she spoke, she raised her delicate hand and casually slapped out a palm.

With a ”thud,” the two palms hadnʼt even touched when the old Daoist was sent flying backward by Liu Yiruʼs strong palm wind, landing more than ten meters away and barely keeping himself from spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Apart from Shui Ying and Chen Yourong, the other women were all stunned by Liu Yiruʼs incredible strength. They couldnʼt believe that not only was Ye Fei formidable, but his mother was equally powerful.

Ye Fei, however, seemed unfazed by all this and said with a smile, ”Mom, that wasnʼt quite right of you. The guy is named ʼImpulsiveʼ after all.”

Standing in place and quietly regulating his breath for a moment, the old Daoist finally managed to suppress his injuries. He looked at Liu Yiru in disbelief and said resentfully, ”Fine, fine. I didnʼt expect there to be such a high-level person in the Martial Alliance. I wonʼt forget this palm strike! Yanchang, letʼs go!” He couldnʼt bear to stay any longer.

Liu Yanchang, although eager to talk to Jiang Yitong, had no choice but to follow his master and leave quickly.

After the two left, Shui Rou sighed softly, ”Yiru, you shouldnʼt have humiliated Impulsive Daoist like that.”

Liu Yiru laughed and said, ”Would you rather see them take Tongtong away? Besides, look at that old Daoist—acting like he owns the world. If we donʼt teach him a lesson, heʼll never know his place.”

Shui Rou understood the principle, but Shuiyue Palace, used to being in a weak position, didnʼt want to make a powerful enemy like Wudang. So she could only sigh again.

”You donʼt have to worry so much. With Shui Momʼs connection, Shuiyue Palace will only be bullying others from now on!” Ye Fei said with a smile. ”If it werenʼt for Mom blocking that old Daoist just now, heʼd be dead by now. I hope he learns his lesson and doesnʼt come looking for trouble again. Otherwise, it wonʼt just be a palm strike next time.”

Hearing Ye Feiʼs domineering words, Shui Rou couldnʼt help but feel both amused and helpless. But she had to admit that Ye Fei had the right to be domineering.

Not to mention his unknown but undoubtedly formidable strength, just Liu Yiruʼs display was enough to dominate all the reclusive sects.

With their protection, Shuiyue Palace would indeed only be bullying others.

At that moment, Shui Rou felt that having him protect them, a group of vulnerable women, was a very good thing.

The other women were also thinking their thoughts.

Seeing that Ye Fei didnʼt care about offending Wudang, Gu Shishi was very pleased. It seemed she had chosen the right person to follow. With him, avenging her family should not be a problem.
