Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Chapter 1047: Chapter 1047: Setting Off Alone

Though it had only been a few days since they parted, those days felt longer than years to Liu Yiru, who doted on her son. She longed to have him by her side, to embrace him and ease the aching longing in her heart.

However, Liu Yiru was truly Liu Yiru—Ye Fei’s biological mother and the matriarch of his harem. Her love for her son was not one of selfish possession, but rather a desire to see him lead a perfect life, free of regrets.

Otherwise, given Ye Fei’s unparalleled love for her, if she had asked, he would undoubtedly have forsaken all others to be with his beloved mother.

But that would have condemned him to a lifetime of sorrow.

Thus, Liu Yiru resolutely suppressed her yearning and physical desire, and said with a smile, ”Sure, if you can convince them, I’ll agree. But do you really think coming over now would be a true family gathering?”

Though her mother’s words were somewhat cryptic, Ye Fei instantly grasped her meaning.

While he could certainly indulge in the delightful company of his mother and the others, and enjoy a night of familial joy, something would still be missing.

There was one more person with whom he shared a close blood bond who was absent—his second aunt, Ye Ningxue.

Though their time together had been brief, Ye Ningxue held a special place in Ye Fei’s heart, perhaps even more so than the other women.

Like his other aunts and uncles, she had watched him grow up, sharing a bond of over a decade, and their kinship was a natural advantage that no other woman could envy.

”Mom, I know what to do. Wait for my good news!” Ye Fei said, ending the call. His longing for his second aunt dampened his burning desire.

Ye Fei was never one to dawdle. Having decided to bring his second aunt back, he wasted no time. The car, which had been heading towards the Shuiyue Palace, made a sharp turn and soon merged onto the highway leading northwest.

Even without using his teleportation ability, Ye Fei’s driving speed was faster than any other vehicle. However, since his second aunt was not in any danger, and he was heading to Cihang Jingzhai, he decided to pick up Miao Chan from the Tang Sect first. With at least three people returning, driving was still the most convenient option.

After nearly twenty hours of travel, Ye Fei finally entered the Sichuan territory. These twenty hours had been incredibly dull for Ye Fei.

While some might find solitude refreshing after the hustle and bustle, Ye Fei preferred being with his beloved women, especially his mother. Even if they weren’t engaged in intimate activities, just being close to her was more enjoyable than being a deity.

Like most martial arts families, the Tang Sect did not reside in a big city but in a small town in the central part of the Sichuan territory.

Following the navigation’s guidance, after a few more hours, Ye Fei finally arrived at a place called ”Tang Family Town.” Despite its name, the town was larger than an average county town and surprisingly modern, not filled with ancient architecture as he had imagined.

Tang Yu and Tang Xin had explained this to him before. Originally, Tang Family Town was indeed a very traditional town. However, with the rapid development of tourism in recent years, the town, rich in historical sites, had been overrun by tourists, causing great distress to the residents.

Since the townspeople did not rely on tourism for their livelihood, Tang Xin’s father, the head of the Tang Sect, Tang Minghao, made a significant reform. He decided to completely demolish and rebuild the town into a modern urban area.

While this decision inevitably drew some criticism, it restored the tranquility that the residents had longed for. The criticisms were mostly idle gossip, and no one dared to accuse Tang Minghao, the leader of the Tang Sect, of ”destroying historical heritage.”

Driving slowly along the broad streets, Ye Fei observed that the entire town was festooned with lanterns and decorations, exuding a festive atmosphere.

Most shops were still closed, which made him reflect that, despite the modern buildings, the mindset of the people here was somewhat traditional. It was already the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, and in most parts of the country, people had already resumed their normal activities. Yet, the festive spirit here was still very strong.

After wandering around for a bit, Ye Fei parked his car in front of an open supermarket. He didn’t actually need to buy anything; he just wanted to find out where the Tang family lived.

He hadn’t informed Tang Yu and the others of his visit, intending to surprise them. He couldn’t afford to fail because he didn’t know the way.

After making a token purchase, Ye Fei asked the shop owner, ”Excuse me, could you tell me where the Tang family lives in town?”

”The Tang family?” The owner looked at Ye Fei strangely. ”I’m not sure which Tang family you’re referring to. Everyone in this town has the surname Tang.”

Ye Fei was taken aback for a moment, then realized he had asked the wrong question.

Since Tang Family Town was the headquarters of the Tang Sect, it was only natural that most residents were peripheral members of the sect and would have the surname Tang. He smiled apologetically and clarified, ”I mean where Tang Minghao, the head of the family, lives.”

”Looking for the head of the family?” The owner’s expression became much more serious, and he became more polite to Ye Fei.

”Sir, are you here for the wedding of the young master? I apologize for not recognizing you sooner. Let me take you there.”

The wedding of the young master? Ye Fei was puzzled again. He had never heard Tang Yu or Tang Xin mention anything about a young master, let alone a wedding. Moreover, weddings usually took place before the New Year, not after. It was quite odd.

Despite his confusion, Ye Fei smiled and said, ”No need, just tell me where it is, and I’ll go by myself.”

”Alright then, the head of the family and the elders all live in the manor at the center of town. It’s easy to find,” the shop owner replied. Ye Fei’s guess was spot on.

He and all the other permanent residents of the town were peripheral members of the Tang Sect and had some martial arts training, though not to a high level.

As for why they readily revealed the location of the important figures of the Tang Sect, it was because it was no secret.

Moreover, as one of the top martial arts sects, the Tang Sect had never faced direct trouble at their doorstep, so these peripheral members had no reason to be overly cautious.
