Chapter 1610 - 1486: Taking Sides
"I propose that we immediately drive this guy away. As long as he stays in our Su Family, he will only put us in greater danger, and more powerful families will target us!"
In the Su Family’s meeting room, Su Qiong’s third uncle spoke.
"I agree with Third Brother. This guy must immediately leave our Su Family, or our family will be doomed!" Su Qiong’s aunt also spoke.
"But our Su Family was able to develop so much before because we benefited from Ye Qingfeng’s fame!" Su Qiong’s mother hesitated for a moment and said.
"Sister-in-law, you’re right. We did rely on his reputation to get support and benefits from other families. But now he has become a target, and Wan Potian will sooner or later kill him. Keeping him is surely a disaster!"
Su Qiong’s third uncle said.
Su Qiong’s mother wanted to say more, but suddenly an elder spoke up: "In the family, we only talk about interests."
Su Qiong’s mother’s expression suddenly froze.
Su Qiong’s father also sighed slightly. Indeed, they had relied on Ye Qingfeng before, but considering the family’s interests, they should now immediately sever ties with Ye Qingfeng.
Wan Potian’s wrath is something the Su Family cannot withstand!
"I disagree!" At this time, Su Qiong shook her head and said.
"Xiao Qiong, don’t act rashly. This is a matter concerning the survival of the family."
"Exactly, Xiao Qiong, you are still too young and thus admire him greatly. Although Ye Qingfeng has some skills, he is arrogant and too forceful, ultimately unable to achieve greatness."
Immediately, everyone tried to persuade her, thinking that Su Qiong surely liked Ye Qingfeng, hence speaking for him.
"This has nothing to do with my admiration for Ye Qingfeng." Su Qiong shook her head and suddenly said, "I just want to say, can any of you drive Ye Qingfeng away?"
Everyone was suddenly taken aback.
Su Qiong calmly said again: "If Ye Qingfeng is angered, the Su Family will be annihilated!"
Everyone’s hearts trembled wildly; this Ye Qingfeng was a far greater threat than those powerful families. If he exploded, the entire Su Family would be destroyed.
Everyone was suddenly filled with fear.
Two days passed, and Ye Qingfeng’s injuries began to heal. He felt that his cultivation had advanced again.
Ye Qingfeng faintly felt changes in his body, a fundamental transformation more profound than a breakthrough, very slow and not obvious, yet Ye Qingfeng still noticed it.
"It seems like some original power is changing my body, undetectable yet real." Ye Qingfeng’s heart was shaken.
"Ye Qingfeng, are your injuries better?" Zhao Zhiruo walked in.
Above was a simple white T-shirt, below were washed blue jeans. This simple outfit perfectly showcased Zhao Zhiruo’s figure.
After her Innate Spiritual Body was activated, her skin became even whiter and more moist, like the finest Mutton Fat Jade, and her figure became increasingly graceful with cultivation.
Every inch was just right, an unholdable willow waist, a flat belly, round straight legs, paired with the unique ethereal constitution of an Innate Spiritual Body, this girl had finally grown into a truly peerless beauty.
"I’m fine." Ye Qingfeng shook his head; his injuries had improved a lot.
If only there was a Medicine Cauldron, I could refine real Spiritual Medicine, and these injuries would recover instantly, Ye Qingfeng thought to himself.
"Thank you, Ye Qingfeng."
Zhao Zhiruo lowered her head slightly, her eyes flashing.
Ye Qingfeng shook his head, smiled lightly, and said: "Actually, you weren’t in any danger. They just saw your amazing talent and wanted to recruit you into the Sect. In fact, I’m the one who insisted on keeping you by my side."
"But as soon as you received Su Qiong’s call, you immediately came." Zhao Zhiruo glanced at Ye Qingfeng with beautiful eyes, her pretty face slightly blushing, "Besides, I like staying by your side."
Ye Qingfeng’s heart moved slightly; indeed, he felt some affection for this pure girl.
"You are a true Innate Spiritual Body, an exceptional genius. I kept you here because they are unworthy to recruit you. Don’t worry, one day, I will make your Innate Spiritual Body shine brightly, standing atop the world." Ye Qingfeng said lightly.
Compared to the calm here with Ye Qingfeng, Yanjing’s high society was still turbulent and stormy, with the Xiong Family leading the charge against the Su Family.
"That Ye Qingfeng is finally getting his comeuppance, acting recklessly all the time. Now he infuriated Wan Potian, deservedly about to be killed!" Xiong Tao from the Xiong Family exclaimed excitedly.
His uncle is the Family Head of the Xiong Family, so he and his father’s lineage are the direct lineage of the Su Family, holding very esteemed status.
This matter, under his father’s personal leadership, step by step is eating away at the Su Family.
However, at this time, the Liu Family and the Wu Family suddenly chose to take sides; surprisingly, their choice was Ye Qingfeng.
"Liu Family, are you really choosing to stand with Ye Qingfeng now? Weren’t you mortal enemies back then?"
"This has nothing to do with the Liu Family. As long as you choose to stop, at that time, the Liu Family will naturally get a share too."
"Liu Family folk, stop immediately, or when Wan Potian kills Ye Qingfeng, the Liu Family will also bear the wrath of Thunder."
Several powerful families’ heads bore ominous warnings, coldly reprimanding the Liu Family, yet the Liu Family remained unmoved, indifferent.
"This is a grand gamble!" Liu Tianming from the Liu Family shook his head and sighed.
He alone bore all the pressure from within the family, disregarding the elders’ objections, resolutely choosing to support the Wu Family and Su Family.
If they fail, not only will his position as Family Head be in jeopardy, but even the Liu Family will fall into immense danger.
"Dad, rest assured, Ye Qingfeng is truly an extraordinary man!" Liu Feiyan looked outside the window, a determined look in her eyes.
Amidst this deadlock in the situation, the Zhang Family suddenly issued a statement: those supporting Ye Qingfeng and the Su Family are enemies of the Zhang Family.
"I heard Ye Qingfeng once intruded into the Zhang Family, making Zhang Qifan submit and snatching some treasures. So now the Zhang Family will surely seize this opportunity to hit someone when they’re down!"
This news cleared up the situation instantly.
Several families in Yanjing seized the opportunity too and promptly decided to support the Xiong Family in suppressing the Su Family.
The Liu Family, Wu Family, were similarly included in this.
"Look at this! I already said don’t meddle in this messy situation, now our Liu Family is also suffering oppression, aren’t we just bringing trouble upon ourselves!"
Voices of reproach had already emerged within the Liu Family, making Liu Tianming deeply troubled, yet he didn’t explain, silently gritting his teeth and persevering.
"I will go see Ye Qingfeng." Liu Feiyan proactively said.
