On the way, Ye Xueyi was very excited. Ever since she was young, she had hoped that her brother would be able to get rid of the title of trash. Today, her wish had become a reality.
Ye Zifeng explained, "The difference between a person in the qi refining stage depends on the amount of qi they have and the quality of their qi. However, when facing an enemy, the most important thing is how they use their qi. A sword in the hands of a kid, even if it's a sword that can cut through iron like mud, won't be able to hurt anyone. However, a bamboo tip in the hands of an expert can easily kill someone ….. "
"So you're saying that Wang Lin is that kid and brother Zifeng is that expert?" Ye Xue Yi was stunned when she heard this. This was the first time she had heard her brother speak about his understanding of martial arts. For a moment, she couldn't help but become infatuated.
Ye Zifeng smiled, "I'm just giving an example." From his point of view, what Wang Lin was holding in his hand was definitely not a treasure sword, and what he was holding in his hand was naturally not a bamboo tip.
"Brother, I feel like you've changed into a different person."
Ye Zifeng smiled, "Did you change for the better or worse?"
"Of course I changed for the better! In the past, you were always being bullied and I was always worried. But now, I'm a lot more at ease. "
Ye Zifeng felt a warm feeling in his heart. He could tell that his sister was a genius. If it wasn't for the fact that she was always thinking about him and delayed her cultivation, she would've already become a Martial Disciple and have her own martial spirit.
The two of them chatted and laughed. After a while, they arrived in front of the Ye clan's gate.
"Young master, young miss. How come you guys are so late? Old Du has been waiting for you guys!" Housekeeper Du had been waiting for them for a long time and finally saw them.
Ye Xueyi looked at the sky. She was a bit confused, "Housekeeper Du, it's not late yet. Father said that there's a banquet tonight and wanted us to go back early. It's not time yet."
Housekeeper Du quickly explained, "Maybe the master didn't have time to tell you guys. He had something urgent to do so he couldn't make it."
Ye Zifeng smiled, "Really? If that's the case, then I won't be attending this banquet. "
Housekeeper Du quickly waved his hand, "How can you do that? Tonight's main character is you! One of the three great clans in Leizhou City, the Liu clan's second young miss, Liu Ningzi, was betrothed to you before you were even born. Tonight, we invited the people from the Liu clan to discuss your marriage with Zining. "
"What!" Ye Zifeng and Xueyi both cried out.
"Brother is engaged. How come I didn't know about it?"
"I have an engagement? How come I didn't know? " Ye Zifeng couldn't stay calm anymore. He was an orphan in his previous life so he didn't have to worry about this.
Steward Du smiled bitterly. "Let's go to the reception hall first. The Master is not here, and the people of the Liu Family have been waiting for a long time. They are getting impatient."
Ye Zifeng nodded and quickly walked towards the main hall with Xueyi.
As expected, the hall was already full of people. Not only were the Ye Clan members present, but there were also three unfamiliar faces. They were obviously the Liu Clan members.
A peerlessly beautiful woman was standing in the middle of the hall. Her light-colored dress was incomparably elegant, lightly brushing against the ground. She had a natural sense of beauty. Her black hair was as shiny as a waterfall, and it was gently coiled up by a golden hairpin that was inserted into the ground. Beside her was a well-dressed young man holding a golden treasure sword. He had an arrogant expression on his face as if he was looking down on everyone. There was also an old man hiding in the shadows. One look and anyone could tell that he was an expert.
It could be seen that without Ye Chongtian around, the atmosphere in the Ye Family was a little stiff.
"Is that Ye Zifeng going to come or not? Ningzi and I have been waiting for so long. Our Liu Clan is very busy!" The well-dressed young man couldn't sit still anymore and asked.
Without Ye Chongtian here, no one in the entire Ye clan dared to speak up for Ye Zifeng. Hearing this, Housekeeper Du wanted to say something but when he remembered that he wasn't a member of the Ye clan, he gave up.
"Your Liu Family is busy, but aren't our Ye Family busy?" Ye Xue Yi's voice came from the back of the crowd. Beside her was Ye Feng, who was slowly walking over.
"You!" The well-dressed young man wanted to curse but Xueyi was different from Ye Zifeng. She was the pearl of the Ye clan. How could she be slandered? More than ten pairs of eyes glared at the well-dressed young man. He felt that he was in the wrong and bitterly gave up.
"You're Ye Zifeng?" Liu Ningzi's gaze landed on Ye Zifeng. Seeing his sickly appearance, she felt that he was indeed a trash. She had a look of disgust on her face.
"That's right." Ye Zifeng calmly replied. In the past few days, because of his title as a trash, he had received the disgust from everyone. He was already used to it.
"Good." Liu Ningzi's expression was as cold as ice, "Since the Ye clan's master isn't here, I'll make things clear for you. You're the young master of the Ye clan anyways. The result will be the same." Her tone was filled with ridicule.
"What do you want to say? Don't hide it. Just say it." Ye Zifeng didn't mind at all.
"Alright. Then let's talk about the engagement. "When Liu Ningzi said this, everyone's expression changed.
She coldly smiled and looked at everyone, "Ye Zifeng and I were betrothed twenty years ago. At that time, the Ye clan was like the sun in the sky. They were definitely one of the three great clans in Leizhou City. But now, the Ye clan …. Hehe, I'm not talking nonsense. Ever since they had this trash Ye Zifeng, they're no longer one of the three great clans. I'm afraid that they're not even one of the great clans anymore ….."
Tang Feng coldly snorted, "Whether or not the Ye clan is a great clan is not something that a little girl like you can decide."
She had been in the Ye clan for many years and had already treated the Ye clan as her own home. Now that Ye Zifeng had made an agreement with her, she would naturally help the Ye clan and Ye Zifeng out if she had the chance.
Housekeeper Du pulled Tang Feng over and smiled, "Second miss of the Liu clan, about the engagement, we can talk about it later at the banquet."
From what he can see, since Ye Chongtian had asked him to arrange the banquet, then he will do his best to make it happen. No matter how arrogant Ye Chongtian is, he can only swallow his anger. This was because if the Ye clan can get on the good side of the Liu clan, then they can ask the Liu clan for help and improve their current situation.
Liu Ningzi coldly smiled, "No need. Yige and I didn't come here to eat this banquet. We came here to make things clear."
Ye Zifeng had lived two lives and was very experienced. He knew what Liu Ningzi was thinking and what she wanted to do. She despised the current Ye Family and wanted the Liu Family and the Ye Family to draw a clear line and go their separate ways.
"What do you want to say? Say it now. Don't beat around the bush and waste my time."
Liu Ningzi coldly smiled, "Then I want to ask young master Ye, can we cancel our engagement now?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was astounded.
Housekeeper Du was afraid that he would mess things up and be blamed by the master, so he smiled apologetically and said, "Miss Liu, could it be that an ignorant servant of the Ye Family angered Miss and caused some misunderstanding? Tell me and I will punish him severely."
"This isn't a misunderstanding. I think I've said it clearly. Cancel the engagement! If you don't understand what I'm saying, do you want me to write it down on paper? "
A woman coming to the door to cancel an engagement was the same as a woman divorcing a man. If this news were to spread in Leizhou City, then Ye Zifeng's face would be swept to the ground. He wouldn't be able to go out anymore.
Ye Zifeng narrowed his eyes, "Second miss of the Liu clan, you said that we have an engagement. Then let me ask you, where is the engagement?"
"The engagement is ….. is ….." Liu Ningzi was momentarily at a loss for words. She had only heard from her father that she had an engagement with this trash Young Master Ye and hurriedly came to break off the engagement. She did not even find out whether or not this engagement was written on a piece of paper.
"Since there's no engagement, then it means that the two clan leaders were joking around twenty years ago. Why do you need to take it seriously? Why do you need to cancel the engagement? Or ….. "
Ye Zifeng's eyes shrunk, "You came to the Ye clan to cause trouble for no reason!"
Liu Yige couldn't hold it in anymore and coldly yelled at Ye Zifeng, "Ye trash. Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to my junior sister like this?"
Ye Zifeng coldly laughed, "Junior sister? So you and the second miss are only martial siblings. You can't even be considered a part of the Liu clan. With your status, you still dare to cause trouble in the Ye clan? "
Ye Zifeng was right. He had hit Liu Yige's weak spot. He was the adopted son of the Liu clan. In terms of status, he wasn't much.
Liu Yige couldn't find the right words to curse at Ye Zifeng and could only yell, "Ye Zifeng, you're courting death! You're not even an ant and you still have the face to talk to me like that? "
Ye Zifeng didn't even know how many times he had heard this sentence. A sharp light flashed in his eyes. He had already memorized this guy called Liu Yige. When he catches up to the peak, sooner or later, he will trample all of these people under his feet.
Liu Ningzi furrowed her brows and coldly said, "Ye Zifeng, listen to me. Even though my senior brother isn't a part of the Liu clan, he's already at the 6th stage of qi refining at such a young age. Compared to you, who's only at the 2nd stage of qi refining, who doesn't even know if you'll ever awaken your martial spirit, he's much better."
"A mere 6th stage of qi refining dares to call himself an expert? Aren't you afraid that people will laugh their teeth off? "
Ye Zifeng had a smile on his face.
Ye Chen turned around and looked at Ye Zifeng, "Alright. Don't say anymore. You're only at the 2nd stage of qi refining. What right do you have to talk about others? Go to the woodshed and leave the rest to us." He was Ye Zifeng's second uncle. When Ye Chongtian wasn't around, he was the one who took care of things.
"That's right. The Liu clan didn't say anything wrong. You're the Ye clan's jinx. The entire Ye clan was dragged down by you and you still have the nerve to talk about others?" Ye Huichi sneered at Ye Zifeng.
He was Ye Zifeng's cousin. Even though his cultivation wasn't high, only at the 5th stage of qi refining, he would always laugh at his cousin. He was the type of person who bullies the weak and fears the strong.
Liu Ningzi's beautiful eyes flashed with a trace of pride, "How about this, our Liu Family came here this time because we understand that it is a bit rude to abruptly break off the engagement. Therefore, in consideration of our past relationship, we brought some elixirs from outside the city, hoping to compensate the Ye Family to a certain degree."
"Elder Wu, bring it over ….."
"Yes, second miss." The old man who had been hiding in the shadows let out a dry cough in response. He took out a square black jade box from his bosom and slowly opened the lock on it.
"I'm afraid that none of you have seen this before. This is a rare pill in the country ….." Liu Ningzi's eyes lit up.
