Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Chapter 574: The Beaten VIP

Ye Fei and the others turned to see where the voice had come from. It was one of three men who had been walking near them for a while, occasionally glancing their way.

Unlike others, these men didnʼt show the usual awe or respect. Ye Fei had noticed that the strongest among them was only at the Xiantian level, so he hadnʼt paid them much attention. But now, it seemed they were looking for trouble.

As Ye Fei and the group looked over, the three men stopped. One of them pointed to a rather handsome young man with a boyish charm and said, ”This is the young master of our Qinghai Lake Sect. Who gave you the audacity to speak so disrespectfully about our guardian sect?”

Liu Yiru, being gentle by nature, didnʼt want to cause trouble, even though she knew her son far surpassed these people in strength. She stepped forward and said, ”Iʼm sorry, we were just joking and meant no offense. If weʼve offended you in any way, please forgive us.”

The young master, Lu Feng, had already noticed Liu Yiru. Seeing her from the side had left him mesmerized, but now, face-to-face, he was utterly captivated. He smiled, his eyes narrowing slightly, and said, ”No problem, no problem. Iʼm Lu Feng. May I ask the name of this beautiful lady?” He extended his hand, wanting to shake hers.

Liu Yiru took a step back and replied calmly, ”Weʼre just passing strangers. Thereʼs no need for names. Weʼre in a hurry, so weʼll take our leave now.” Her heart and body belonged entirely to her beloved son, and she didnʼt want any other man touching her, not even for a handshake.

Lu Feng was taken aback by Liu Yiruʼs refusal. Given his status, martial artists everywhere usually fawned over him. He had never been treated so coldly. Seeing that Ye Fei and the others were about to leave, he became furious and shouted, ”Stop!”

Liu Yiru turned back and asked, ”Is there something else, Lu Feng?”

Lu Fengʼs anger made it impossible for him to maintain his fake smile. He said coldly, ”Youʼve offended our guardian sect. Did you think you could just walk away?”

”Didnʼt you just say it was fine?” Liu Yiru sighed inwardly. This guy had no idea how close he was to disaster. She had already saved him once, but he was still looking for trouble.

”I said *you* were fine, but not the others. This little girl dared to slander our guardian sect. She must be punished!” Lu Feng said, glaring at Ye Zhilin.

Although she wasnʼt as stunning as the ethereal beauty he had just spoken to, she was still an unparalleled gem. He thought he could use this incident to bring her under his control. And if he played his cards right, even that woman, more beautiful than the Aunt Bai he had long coveted, wouldnʼt escape him.

”Youʼd better leave now, or youʼll regret it!” Ye Fei stepped forward and said coldly. Normally, he would have already killed someone for trying to take advantage of his mother, but he knew Liu Yiru didnʼt want him to cause unnecessary bloodshed. However, seeing that this guy wasnʼt backing down, Ye Fei couldnʼt hold back anymore.

Lu Feng, unaware that he had provoked someone even the entire Qinghai Lake Sect couldnʼt handle, was annoyed by Ye Feiʼs interference. He waved his hand dismissively and said, ”Kid, this doesnʼt concern you. Get out of—”

Before he could finish, Ye Fei slapped him hard across the face. Even though Ye Fei had held back, the force was enough to send Lu Feng flying three meters away, where he landed on the ground.

”Y-you… you hit me?” Lu Feng held his swollen cheek, looking at Ye Fei in disbelief. Tears even welled up in his eyes.

Ye Fei was surprised by how fragile this seemingly arrogant guy was. He had only slapped him once, and the guy was already crying. Ye Fei didnʼt bother to waste more time on him. He kicked Lu Fengʼs two attendants, sending them tumbling to their masterʼs side, and then waved his hand dismissively. ”Get lost. If you keep talking, Iʼll kill you.”

With the help of his attendants, Lu Feng stood up. He shot Ye Fei a venomous glare but didnʼt dare say anything more. He just muttered, ”Youʼll regret this!” before turning and walking away with his attendants. The VIP who had come to attend the martial arts conference left in disgrace before even reaching the venue.

This little incident didnʼt dampen the groupʼs spirits. After Lu Feng and his men ran off, they continued toward the center of the valley. Unbeknownst to them, someone had already reported the incident to the organizers of the conference.

When they arrived at the center, Ye Fei and the others went to the spot they had occupied the previous day. Given Ye Zhilinʼs display of power, no one would have objected if they had taken the most prominent seats. But they didnʼt care much for such formalities and chose the same spot as before.

However, before they could sit down, the old monk who had fought Ye Zhilin the previous day hurried over. With him were the old Taoist priest, the nun Mieyin, and, surprisingly, Tang Xinʼs father, Tang Minghao, the current head of the Tang Clan.

”Esteemed guests, youʼve stirred up quite a bit of trouble,” the old monk said as he approached, his face showing concern. Tang Minghao shared the same worried expression, while the old Taoist and Mieyin, though keeping their faces neutral, glinted schadenfreude in their eyes.

Though the old monk didnʼt elaborate, Ye Fei understood what he meant. Initially, Ye Fei hadnʼt thought highly of the old monk, but now his opinion improved. It seemed the monk truly had no ulterior motives. His support for Zhuge Kongfang the previous day was likely due to his rigid, old-fashioned belief that Zhuge Kongfang was a true hero.

”Master, youʼre overthinking it. Heʼs just a weak kid. Nothing to worry about,” Ye Fei said with a smile, forgetting that he was younger than Lu Feng.

”Esteemed guest, you donʼt understand. That ʼkid,ʼ though lacking in skill, is the heir of a guardian sect,” the old monk sighed. ”Falling out with him is no small matter.”

”Itʼs fine. I donʼt plan on going to the Qinghai-Tibet region anyway. His guardian sect means nothing to me,” Ye Fei replied, not wanting to explain further.

The old monk warned, ”But Iʼve heard the Qinghai Lake Sect has close ties with the guardian of the Tianshan Mountains. If Lu Feng doesnʼt let this go, he might call on the guardian. You should leave the Tianshan Mountains as soon as possible.”

”The Tianshan guardian?” Ye Feiʼs interest was piqued. He thought of the white figure he had seen the previous day. Could that be the guardian? It was highly possible, given that personʼs extraordinary strength—even surpassing Ye Zhilinʼs. But Ye Fei had come here precisely to meet true powerhouses. Instead of being deterred, he was even more intrigued. He smiled and said, ”Perfect. Iʼd like to see what the guardian is capable of.”

”Let them come. Weʼre not afraid!” Jiang Manjun suddenly said, her voice filled with anger.

Ye Feiʼs curiosity grew. Did his shiniangs have some grudge against the Tianshan guardian? He glanced at Zhu Yuyan and Shen Huiya, noticing their uneasy expressions, which confirmed his suspicion. He thought to himself that if there was a chance, heʼd help them settle this grudge.

Seeing that Ye Fei and the others werenʼt heeding his advice, the old monk sighed and said, ”Then I can only wish you the best of luck.”
