Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Chapter 1057: Chapter 1057: True Nature Never Changes

”Yeah, you did teach me all my martial arts. But since we’re cutting ties, I’ll just give it back to you!” Wen Suqin said.

As soon as the words left her mouth, her delicate, willow-like figure suddenly trembled. An unnatural flush spread across her breathtakingly beautiful face, and she began to sway as if she were drunk.

Ye Fei was taken aback. He didn’t care about propriety at a moment like this and quickly moved to support Wen Suqin.

Gu Xuehan also noticed her mother’s strange behavior and hurried over, anxiously asking, ”Mom, what’s wrong?”

Wen Suqin gave a bitter smile, opened her mouth, but no words came out.

”Madam, don’t speak. Take this first.” Ye Fei stopped Wen Suqin from talking and took out a recovery pill, forcefully placing it between her cherry-red lips.

The pill dissolved as soon as it touched her tongue, so there was no need to worry about her not being able to swallow it.

”Ye Fei, what’s wrong with my mom?” Seeing Ye Fei administer the pill to her mother, Gu Xuehan became even more anxious and quickly asked him.

Ye Fei gave a wry smile. ”Your mom just destroyed her dantian. All her internal energy is gone.”

”Ah?” Gu Xuehan gasped.

”Mom, why are you so silly? She taught you martial arts, but you worked hard to learn them. Besides, all the things you’ve done for her over the years—Dad was killed because of her, and Xiaorong and the others had their legs crippled. If anything, she owes you!”

”Xuehan, stop.” Ye Fei noticed that Wen Suqin’s face turned even paler and her breathing became more rapid when she heard Gu Xuehan’s words. He knew she still couldn’t let go completely, so he quickly stopped her.

After a while, Wen Suqin finally felt a little better, though she was still extremely weak.

The recovery pill could quickly heal the injuries caused by her self-destruction of her martial arts, but it couldn’t restore her internal energy. She was even weaker than an ordinary person now.

Naturally, it was hard for her to adjust after being a Great Ascension stage expert just moments ago.

Looking at Ye Fei, Wen Suqin spoke weakly, ”You’re the Ye Fei that Xuehan and the others often talk about, right?”

”That’s right, I’m Ye Fei.” Ye Fei nodded and asked with concern, ”Madam, how are you feeling now?”

”Don’t worry, I’m fine.” Wen Suqin forced a smile. ”Ye Fei, could I ask you for a favor?”

”Sure, what is it?” Ye Fei replied, already guessing what she was about to say and inwardly sighing at her indecisiveness.

Sure enough, Wen Suqin glanced at the old woman kneeling nearby and said, ”Although I’ve cut ties with her, we were still master and apprentice once. Ye Fei, for my sake, let her go today.”

”Alright, I’ll do as you say.” Ye Fei agreed without hesitation, giving Gu Xuehan a look to stop her from saying anything. He then turned to the old woman and said, ”You send someone to bring Xiaorong and the others here. If they’re harmed in any way, don’t blame me for not showing Madam Wen any mercy!”

”Yes, yes, I’ll do it right away.” The old woman nodded frantically, took out her phone, and dialed a number. She instructed, ”Send those three... no, you bring Miss Xuerong, Xuexin, and Xuemei to the Tang Sect. Don’t dare to neglect them, understand?”

After giving her underling orders, the old woman quickly looked at Ye Fei. She had almost called the triplets ”bastards” out of habit, but quickly corrected herself, realizing her situation. She was still worried that Ye Fei might take offense, but when she saw no change in his expression, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

”You wait here obediently. Have someone notify me when they arrive.” Ye Fei calmly instructed the old woman, then turned to Tang Minghao and said, ”Uncle Tang, Madam Wen isn’t feeling well and will be staying at the Tang Sect for a few days. Could you arrange a few guest rooms for her?”

Tang Minghao had been stunned by Ye Fei’s astonishing display of power. Although Ye Fei’s killing of the Supreme Elder and Zhang Xi might not be good news for the Tang Sect—they were both Great Ascension stage experts, with the Supreme Elder being one of the top in that stage—it was a huge relief for Tang Minghao.

If that father and son hadn’t died, with their domineering ways, they would have forced Tang Minghao to step down in a matter of days, leaving him with nothing.

So when Ye Fei asked for a favor, Tang Minghao quickly replied, ”Of course, no problem. Madam Wen and Miss Gu are honored guests of the Tang Sect. I’ll have someone arrange it right away.”

”Why bother arranging anything? Just let Madam Wen and Xuehan stay with us. It’ll be more convenient for us to chat.” Tang Xin suddenly interjected.

As the eldest daughter of the Tang Sect, she had an independent three-story building in the manor. She used to live there with only Tang Yu, but now Miao Chan and Gu Shishi had also moved in. Even with the additional guests, there were still plenty of empty rooms, perfect for Wen Suqin and her daughter.

”Sounds good. Let’s head over then. Madam Wen needs to rest properly.” Ye Fei nodded, released Wen Suqin, and stepped aside to let Gu Shishi take over. She and Gu Xuehan supported Wen Suqin on either side.

After all, he was a grown man and not very familiar with Wen Suqin, who was technically his mother-in-law.

In the Tang Sect, where ancient etiquette still mattered, it wouldn’t look good for him to be the one supporting her.

As Ye Fei and the others left the hall, the old woman’s eyes flickered with a moment of hesitation, but she ultimately stayed put. Ye Fei had already agreed to spare her life, and the best course of action was not to cause any trouble.

Even if she tried to run now, she wouldn’t be able to escape the Tang Sect’s reach, and with Ye Fei’s connection to Ye Zhilin, she’d be hunted down by the entire martial world.

The guests, on the other hand, were at a complete loss. They had come to attend a wedding, but now the bride had been taken away by another man, and the groom was dead.

The wedding seemed to be turning into a funeral, and they didn’t know whether to leave or stay. They could only wait in the hall, hoping to hear Tang Minghao’s instructions when he returned.

Ever since Zhang Xi and his father had returned to the Tang Sect, Tang Minghao had lost much of his authority as the head of the family.

Now was the perfect time for him to reorganize the Tang Sect and re-establish his prestige. However, there was something even more important on his mind: pleasing Ye Fei.

Even before, because of Ye Zhilin, Ye Fei had been highly regarded.

Now that his true strength was revealed, Tang Minghao didn’t dare to be the slightest bit careless. Moreover, with the relationships between Tang Xin, Tang Yu, and Ye Fei, he had a natural advantage over others.
