"Ye Zifeng? Why would he come to our Liu clan? Are you sure you didn't see wrongly? " Liu Ningzi's long eyelashes covered her eyes. Other than shock, she didn't have any other expression on her face.
Hearing this, the servant hurriedly replied, "Second miss, it's absolutely true. It really is Ye Zifeng from the Ye clan. Last time at the Heavenly Clan Gathering, I saw him from afar when I was serving the master."
Bingqian's heart was pounding. What is this guy doing here? Could it be that he's here for me?
"It's been so many years. I never would've thought that someone from the Ye clan would come to our Liu clan."
Liu Mu came back to his senses and let out a long sigh. It was as if he was thinking back to many years ago.
20 years ago, Ye Chongtian and Liu Mu were good friends who could talk about anything. However, many years ago, the Liu and Ye families had already been at odds with each other due to some conflicts of interest. In addition, Ye Chongtian's straightforward personality made the relationship between the two families even more tense. He did some things that even Liu Mu found it difficult to deal with, so the two families cut off contact.
But today, Ye Zifeng, as the young master of the Ye clan, personally came.
"Other than Ye Zifeng, who else came?"
The servant shook his head, "Nope. It's just him."
Liu Mu's expression changed and furrowed his brows, "A newborn calf isn't afraid of a tiger. A mere youngster dares to come to our Liu clan alone?"
Liu Yige coldly snorted, "Master, from what I see, we should kick him out. There's nothing to talk about between our Liu clan and the Ye clan."
Liu Bingqian coldly glared at Liu Yige, "I told you before. When our Liu clan is talking, we don't need outsiders to interrupt us!"
"You!" Liu Yige's face turned red. He tightly clenched his fists. He looked at the master and then back at Liu Ningzi. In the end, he let go of his fists.
As for Bingqian, she didn't really care about Liu Yige and didn't ask much about the Liu clan. However, Liu Yige kept trying to make things difficult for Ye Zifeng. This made her very unhappy. Thus, whenever they talk about Ye Zifeng, the two of them would always get into an argument.
"Father, no one from the Ye Clan has come to our Liu Clan for so many years. I feel that this is a good chance to repair the relationship between the two clans. You can also take this chance to carefully examine him and see if he has the qualifications to participate in the alchemy competition …"
Liu Bing Qian blinked her big, watery eyes, revealing a sincere expression.
Liu Mu smiled and looked at Bingqian, "You brat. What kind of ability does Ye Zifeng have? You brought him to the alchemy competition while crying. According to you, does he really have the ability to concoct pills? Alright. Since that's the case, I'll go meet that Ye Zifeng and see what he's doing here. "
Liu Ningzi had a complicated expression in her eyes. Her body slightly trembled as she bowed. Just when she wanted to take this opportunity to return to her room, Liu Mu stopped her.
"Ningzi, come with me to meet that Ye Zifeng."
"I'm going too … …?" Liu Ningzi let out an "ah" sound as if she was petrified.
… …
The Liu clan's guest hall was different from the Ye clan's. The Liu clan's guest hall was very different from the Ye clan's. The decorations weren't extravagant and didn't look like they were made of gold or jade. There were calligraphy and antiques everywhere.
While Ye Feng was waiting, he didn't stay idle either. He carefully examined the layout of the surroundings and the design of the entrances. The corner of his mouth inadvertently curled up into a smile.
Not long after, Liu Mu and the others appeared in his line of sight.
"This junior Ye Zifeng greets uncle Liu!" Ye Zifeng quickly walked up and respectfully bowed.
Liu Mu smiled and waved his hand, "Zifeng, no need to be so polite. When you were little, I even carried you in my arms. It's been so many years and you've grown up ….."
Liu Mu's words didn't seem to be anything special. It made people feel a sense of familiarity. However, he was reminding Ye Zifeng that he was a junior. If Ye Zifeng starts to talk about business, Liu Mu will have the advantage.
"Zifeng, let me introduce you. This is my eldest daughter, Liu Bingqian. I'm sure you've already met her during the heavenly clan gathering."
Ye Zifeng smiled, "Miss Bingqian is as quiet as a virgin and as agile as a rabbit. She is a master of both the pen and the sword. To be able to be friends with such an amazing girl is my, Zifeng's, fortune. "
Liu Bingqian's face turned red. How can you say such shameless things in front of me? However, she felt very good about it.
"This is my youngest daughter ….." Liu Mu pointed at Liu Ningzi.
Liu Ningzi lowered her head. She was in a hurry to leave because she was afraid of bumping into Ye Zifeng. If she opens her mouth, it will be very awkward and the atmosphere will become very tense. This was the situation now.
"Miss Ningzi, we meet again." Ye Zifeng had a cold smile on his face.
He knew that although Liu Mu seemed to be smiling, he was actually hiding a dagger in his smile. He was pretending to introduce Liu Ningzi to make him lose control of his emotions. If he really apologized, he would be in an even more disadvantageous position.
Thus, Ye Zifeng smiled and didn't say anything about Liu Ningzi.
"You … …" Hearing this, Liu Ningzi was startled. Seeing that Ye Zifeng didn't ridicule her like she expected, a faint smile appeared on her face. Her originally tense heart felt a lot better.
Liu Mu looked deeply at Ye Zifeng and laughed. He then turned around and gave orders to the people around him.
"Someone come. What are you all standing there for? Find a seat for young master Ye."
Ye Zifeng smiled and cupped his hands, "Many thanks Uncle Liu."
Everyone sat down. Ye Zifeng looked around and said, "When I first came to uncle Liu's house, I was shocked by the smell of books. Look at the Pearl Heavenly Palace diagram on the wall. For uncle Liu to be able to get this, it's definitely worth collecting."
"You actually recognize this Pearl Heavenly Palace Painting? Actually, this diagram was given to me by a friend. I only took it and hung it on the wall. I don't know much about it. "
Ye Zifeng smiled, "Oh? So you're saying that the Jade Ocean Sword Washing Diagram on the left, the Octuple Desolate Realm Diagram on the right and the Ancient Desert Emperor diagram on the tea table were all given to you by that friend? From what I can see, they should be part of a set. If someone didn't collect them one by one, it would be very hard to collect so many diagrams. "
As he spoke, he looked at Liu Mu from the corner of his eyes.
"This ….." Liu Mu looked at Ye Zifeng in shock. Ye Zifeng's expression didn't change.
Ye Zifeng paused for a bit and then continued, "Also, look at the position. It seems like there's already a high level formation here. As long as you make a cup of tea in this teapot, you'll be able to pressure the guests sitting here. Uncle Liu, am I right?"
Ye Zifeng smiled and pointed at the teapot on the table.
This was the first time Bingqian and the others had heard of something like this. Their eyes lit up and they felt like they had been enlightened.
"So there's something like this. I've learned a lot."
They had only just found out that the position of the furniture in their house had this effect.
Liu Mu was startled. He didn't think that a twenty year old young man like Ye Zifeng would be able to recognize so many treasures. He even saw through the formation.
However, it was rare for him to meet someone who liked to collect antiques. At this moment, he had a good impression of Ye Zifeng. At the very least, he wouldn't treat Ye Zifeng as a junior anymore.
"Hahahaha …. Not bad. Zifeng. I didn't think that you would be able to understand these rare antiques at such a young age. Truly a young hero. The younger generation will surpass us in time. I, your uncle, really admire you. "
Ye Zifeng smiled and thought to himself. How can these broken toys be considered rare? In the past, when he was a peak Heaven Tier Alchemist, many people came to give him gifts and gave him these toys. After a long time, he was influenced by what he saw and heard and learned some of the tricks behind these things.
"Uncle. Actually, the main reason why Zi Feng came to the Liu Clan was to give you a gift."
"Gift?"
The people from the Liu clan were shocked. Ye Zifeng came empty-handed. How could he give a gift?
Liu Yige stood at the side for a long time. Naturally, he was unhappy. He could not help but snort coldly and said, "You are empty-handed. What gift do you have to give? I am afraid that your real intention is to rope in the Liu Clan to help you deal with the Wang Clan."
Liu Mu fiercely turned around and glared at Liu Yige, "Shut up." Even though he was angry, he was just putting on an act.
If he can't even see through this, then Ye Zifeng would've wasted his life.
Ye Zifeng smiled and ignored Liu Yige's words.
"Nephew Zifeng, what is this gift you're talking about? Can you take it out for uncle to see? "Liu Mu smiled as he squinted his eyes.
"Of course." Ye Zifeng nodded and stood up. On his hand was an interspatial ring made out of jade.
The interspatial ring in his hand wasn't the one that he got from Wang Lin. It was the one that Ye Zifeng got from Xueyi after she got the reward from the heavenly clan gathering.
