Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Chapter 1050: Chapter 1050: A Pair of Upstarts

Although the Tang Sect’s power had shifted, Tang Minghao was still the head of the family, and his every move was still the focus of everyone’s attention. Therefore, when Ye Fei and his group entered, all eyes in the hall turned to them. Among them, a man in his twenties, dressed in a garish red outfit, walked over.

Approaching, the young man glanced at Ye Fei with a sly look and said indifferently, ”Uncle Hao, this is the distinguished guest you mentioned?”

After all, Ye Fei was the distinguished guest Tang Minghao had spoken of, but the young man showed no respect. Although he addressed Tang Minghao as ”Uncle Hao,” his tone was far from respectful and even bordered on contemptuous, which made Tang Minghao inwardly furious.

However, Tang Minghao didn’t want to have a falling out with the young man and suppressed his anger, saying, ”Yes, let me introduce you all. This is Ye Fei from Wanghai, a young master. Ye Fei, this is the young master of our Tang Sect, Xi Shao.”

”Hello, congratulations,” Ye Fei greeted Xi Shao with a respectful gesture, though he was somewhat surprised. He noticed that this young man was a Great Ascension stage master. Although Ye Fei could easily defeat him with a single finger, it was still remarkable.

The guy couldn’t be more than thirty years old, which suggested that the Grand Elder, who had yet to make an appearance, must have had some extraordinary encounters after leaving the Tang Sect. Otherwise, it would be difficult for the Tang Sect to cultivate a Great Ascension stage master under thirty with its current resources.

”Hmph!” In response to Ye Fei’s congratulations, Xi Shao didn’t even glance at him, merely nodding imperceptibly and letting out a dismissive snort.

Being disdained by this guy was like an elephant being looked down upon by an ant, and Ye Fei didn’t care at all. But Tang Xin, standing beside him, was not willing to let it slide. Although she had become more sensible, her spoiled young lady temperament hadn’t changed much under Ye Fei’s indulgence. She immediately snapped, ”Hey, what kind of attitude is that?!”

”What’s wrong with my attitude? For someone as insignificant as you, being able to speak to me, the esteemed young master of the Tang Sect, is a privilege from a past life,” Xi Shao snorted, casting a sly glance at Tang Xin. In fact, when he first saw the stunningly beautiful Tang Xin, he was quite envious. But since he was aiming for the position of young master, and Tang Xin was the daughter of the current head, he naturally couldn’t make a move on her.

Xi Shao was a very domineering person. If he couldn’t have something, he wanted to destroy it. His initial covetousness towards Tang Xin quickly turned into resentment, especially after he saw a pair of mother and daughter even more beautiful than Tang Xin and the others. He had given up any remaining hope, and naturally, he wasn’t about to give Tang Xin any face now.

Who was Tang Xin? She was the notorious spoiled young lady who couldn’t tolerate any sand in her eyes. Even without Ye Fei’s support, she wouldn’t swallow this insult. She immediately blurted out everything she had been holding back for a long time, ”Mr. Zhang, who do you think you are? You think you can take over our Tang Sect? You should take a good look at yourself!”

”Pfft!” While Tang Xin was throwing a tantrum, Ye Fei, who was at the center of the incident, couldn’t help but laugh. Of course, he wasn’t laughing at Xi Shao being scolded by Tang Xin, but rather at how similar her tone was to Tang Xin’s back then.

Having been scolded by Tang Xin, Xi Shao was, of course, extremely angry. But Tang Xin was the head’s daughter and still a young girl. He couldn’t afford to lose his temper, or he would be labeled as a faction fighter and a bully. At this moment, Ye Fei’s laughter provided him with the perfect excuse to explode.

”Young man, are you looking for death?!” he roared, making a move to attack Ye Fei.

”Xi Shao, calm down, let me say something first,” someone suddenly ran out from the onlookers and grabbed Xi Shao.

Xi Shao glared at the person who had grabbed him and asked, ”What do you mean?”

The man had also attended the martial arts conference and naturally knew the relationship between Ye Fei and the new leader, Ye Zhilin. His family relied on the Tang Sect for survival. If the two sides were to clash, it would inevitably drag them into the conflict, so he hurriedly persuaded, ”Ye Fei is a relative of the newly elected leader Ye Zhilin. For the sake of the leader, please don’t take offense.”

”This...” Zhang Xi couldn’t help but hesitate. Although he was arrogant and domineering, he was not a fool.

As the saying goes, a person’s reputation precedes them.

Although he had not attended the martial arts conference, he had heard about it. Many masters had gathered there, and Ye Zhilin, who had emerged from the crowd, was no ordinary person. Moreover, with the title of leader, she could easily mobilize many martial artists. Zhang Xi had just become the young master of the Tang Sect and did not want to offend such a powerful figure so soon.

As Zhang Xi was caught in a dilemma, a hoarse voice suddenly rang out in everyone’s ears, speaking with disdain, ”What leader? She’s just a greenhorn. If I had been there at the time, she wouldn’t have become the leader.”

With the sound, everyone felt a flash before their eyes, and then they saw an old man with white beard and hair appear beside Zhang Xi out of thin air. The aura of a Great Ascension stage master emanated from him, pressing down on everyone so much that they could hardly catch their breath.

Hearing the old man’s words, Zhang Xi, who had been somewhat cowed, immediately straightened his chest and said arrogantly, ”That’s right. What martial arts leader? My master could take her down with one hand. It’s just that she didn’t come this time. Otherwise, she would see what a real master looks like!”

Watching the old man and the young man boasting, Ye Fei was both amused and exasperated. He had thought that the so-called Grand Elder would be a formidable master worth his while, especially since he had cultivated Zhang Xi, a Great Ascension stage master under thirty. But now, he was thoroughly disappointed. The old man’s strength was decent, but he was no match for Ye Zhilin when she had just been awakened by Ye Fei.

Moreover, aside from Ye Zhilin, every well-known sect had several true masters hidden away, not to mention the even more powerful guardians. In Ye Fei’s eyes, the old man and the young man were nothing more than upstarts who thought they were invincible just because they had some power. He couldn’t even muster the interest to pay them any mind.
