Ye Xiu saw Mu Qingfeng’s dilemma and said, "Just call off the engagent!"
"Hmph, an engagent isn’t sothing you can just call off whenever you want," Luo Kun said coldly. "My engagent to Murong was decided by my grandfather and Grandmaster Mu Beifeng. Unless Grandmaster Mu Beifeng himself speaks up, no one else in the Mu Family can cancel it."
"Then let Mu Beifeng call off the engagent," Ye Xiu suggested.
"Hardly," Luo Kun said with complete confidence. "Everyone in the Ancient Martial Circle knows that Mu Beifeng’s word is his bond. Once he makes a decision, he never changes it. Not even the Jade Emperor himself could persuade him to call off an engagent."
"Divine Doctor Ye, he’s telling the truth," Mu Qingfeng said awkwardly. "My older brother is as stubborn as a mule. Since he pledged Murong to Luo Kun, he’ll never change his mind."
"Is that so?"
Ye Xiu took out his phone, dialed the Blood Demon Mu Beifeng’s number, and put it on speaker for everyone to hear. As soon as the call connected, afraid Mu Beifeng might say the na "Huang Quan," Ye Xiu quickly spoke first.
"Mu Beifeng, I don’t think Murong and Luo Kun are a good match. What do you say?"
A voice replied instantly, "I’ll call the Luo Family right away and cancel the engagent."
Gasp!
Hearing Mu Beifeng’s voice, Luo Kun, Mu Qingfeng, Mu Tian’en, and Mu Tianchou were utterly dumbfounded. They never expected Ye Xiu could actually contact Mu Beifeng. Moreover, with just a single sentence from him, Mu Beifeng had agreed to cancel the engagent without a second thought. Is this really the man whose word is his bond?
Murong was also stunned. She knew Ye Xiu and her grandfather were acquainted, but she also knew her grandfather’s temperant. She never imagined a casual remark from Ye Xiu could so easily change his stubborn ways.
"You don’t need to make a special call to the Luo Family. Luo Kun and Mu Qingfeng are right here. You can just tell them directly; they can hear you," Ye Xiu said.
Mu Beifeng’s voice ca through the speaker again. "Luo Kun, as of now, your engagent to Murong is canceled. Qingfeng, do not bring up the matter of Murong and Luo Kun’s engagent ever again. Do you hear ?"
"I hear you, big brother," Mu Qingfeng replied.
Ye Xiu hung up and smiled at Luo Kun. "There you have it. From now on, you have absolutely nothing to do with Murong."
"You..."
Luo Kun was seething, wishing he could strangle Ye Xiu right then and there. But with the three War Gods from the Mu Family present, he knew he couldn’t lay a finger on him. He rose to his feet in a rage.
"Ye Xiu, this isn’t over! Just you wait!"
With that, he stord out.
The Mu Family paid him no mind, not even bothering to see him off. At that mont, all their attention was focused on Ye Xiu.
"Divine Doctor Ye, how do you know my big brother?" Mu Qingfeng asked obsequiously.
Mu Tian’en and Mu Tianchou were just as puzzled. If Ye Xiu knew Mu Beifeng, there had been no need to get into a contest of wealth with Luo Kun earlier. He could have just ntioned Mu Beifeng and settled everything.
"Mu Beifeng and I go way back. He even visited Jin Ye City a while ago," Ye Xiu said.
"My big brother was in Jin Ye City?" Mu Qingfeng asked.
"He’s already left to run an errand for . Before he departed, he asked to look after the Mu Family," Ye Xiu explained.
"You, look after the Mu Family?" Mu Qingfeng’s eyes lit up. "How so?"
Mu Tian’en and Mu Tianchou grew excited as well. To them, Mu Beifeng asking Ye Xiu to look after the family could only an one thing: financial support.
Ye Xiu easily saw through their intentions. The reason he hadn’t ntioned Mu Beifeng right away, instead choosing to compete over money with Luo Kun, was precisely to tempt them with this offer.
He explained, "After the Mo Family was annihilated, their entire residential district ca into my possession. If the Mu Family wants to move to Jin Ye City, you can all live there."
Tempted, Mu Qingfeng and the others exchanged glances.
Mu Qingfeng feigned a troubled expression. "The Mu Family has been farrs for generations. What would we eat if we moved to Jin Ye City?" His implication was clear: Ye Xiu would have to provide for them.
"Since I promised Mu Beifeng I would look after the Mu Family, I won’t let you go hungry," Ye Xiu stated.
Hearing this, Mu Qingfeng and the others felt completely reassured.
"Excellent! I’ll tell the family right away. They can take the train to Jin Ye City today," Mu Qingfeng said, deliberately emphasizing the word "train," hinting that Ye Xiu should pay for plane tickets instead.
Perfect! Ye Xiu was secretly delighted to hear him agree. This was precisely why he had tempted the three of them with money. The Ancient Martial Circle in Jin Ye City was far too weak, lacking even a single Great Grandmaster. With tens of thousands of martial artists gathering for the War God assessnt, so just to watch, the local circle would be powerless if trouble broke out.
If the Mu Family moved in, the Ancient Martial Circle of Jin Ye City would finally have so real backbone. Setting aside everything else, the presence of three War Gods—Mu Qingfeng, Mu Tian’en, and Mu Tianchou—would be enough to deter most troublemakers.
Ye Xiu took out his phone and transferred so money to Murong. "I just sent you so cash," he said. "Go online now and buy plane tickets for everyone. Have them co as soon as possible. Tell them not to bother bringing any household supplies; I’ll have soone buy everything and deliver it to the Mo Family’s forr estate."
"Okay!" Murong nodded.
"Alright, it’s getting late. I should be going," Ye Xiu said, standing up.
"You’re leaving already?" Mu Qingfeng was reluctant to see him go. It’s already noon, shouldn’t he treat us to a al before leaving?
Ye Xiu didn’t answer and simply walked out.
The Mu Family escorted him to the door. After watching him disappear into the distance, Mu Qingfeng shut the door and eagerly asked, "Ranran, how much money did Ye Xiu transfer you?"
Murong took out her phone, glanced at the screen, and exclaid, "30,000,000!"
Hiss!
Mu Qingfeng, Mu Tian’en, and Mu Tianchou all gasped. Ye Xiu is obscenely rich!
"Ranran, when do you and Ye Xiu plan to get married?" Mu Tian’en asked. They had to lock down such a wealthy son-in-law as soon as possible. It would be a huge loss if another girl snatched him away.
"Actually, Ye Xiu is my teacher," Murong said coldly. "I asked him to pretend to be my boyfriend. He’s already married."
"What?"
The expressions on the faces of Mu Qingfeng, Mu Tian’en, and Mu Tianchou were as if they had been struck by lightning.
"Ah, and here I thought the Mu Family had finally hit the jackpot," Mu Qingfeng sighed. "All that excitent for nothing." Then he added, "Ranran, I think you should still stay in close contact with Ye Xiu. Even if you can’t be husband and wife, you can still gain a lot of benefits by being around him."
"Exactly, exactly!" Mu Tian’en chid in. "A few crumbs from Ye Xiu’s table would be enough for our Mu Family to live comfortably for the rest of our lives."
"You two..."
Disgusted and speechless with her grand-uncle and father, Murong turned and stord out of the room, slamming the door behind her.
anwhile, Ye Xiu took the elevator down to the first floor. Waiting for him outside the doors was the Xuan Ming Sect disciple he had slapped earlier.
"Haha, I finally got you!" the disciple cackled upon seeing Ye Xiu, throwing a punch straight at his face.
After being hit, he had told the others from Brahmin, who imdiately went searching for Ye Xiu. Not knowing which floor he was on, they had to check one by one. He, on the other hand, had been tasked with lying in wait by the elevator. To his surprise, his patience had paid off.
"What’s there to be happy about, you idiot?"
Ye Xiu slapped the Xuan Ming Sect disciple so hard he went sprawling, then said in a foreign language, "If you want revenge, go to Kangtai Hospital. Our Tiansha Association mbers are all there."
With that, he left the Yuelan Grand Hotel.
Back in his car, he was about to head to Kangtai Hospital to watch the show when he suddenly received a text ssage from Qin Qing: "Ye Tianming has co to our house!"
At the ssage, Ye Xiu’s head spun with rage. The mory of his mother’s and grandparents’ graves being desecrated that morning flooded his mind, and he was consud by fury.
That old bastard, Ye Tianming. He’s courting death!
