Ye Feng did not want to reveal his true strength because he wanted to see what Zhao Yebao was truly up to.
If Ye Feng had revealed his strength right away, then Zhao Yebao would have imdiately halted his plans.
In that case, Ye Feng would not have been able to discern Zhao Yebao’s intentions.
Housekeeper Hu stood up, and Ye Feng patted his shoulder, saying, "Housekeeper Hu, the incident that just occurred is a secret, right?"
Housekeeper Hu distinctly felt that after Ye Feng patted his shoulder, a powerful surge of True Essence entered his body, which felt like a sharp spike right at his heart.
The spike ford by that True Essence seed as if it could pierce through Housekeeper Hu’s heart at any mont.
Inside, Housekeeper Hu was extrely panicked, but he maintained a calm appearance on the surface and squeezed out a faint smile, "Right, right, I rember, it’s a secret, I will keep it."
Zhou ngyu was imdiately taken aback, "What secret? Can you tell , Ye Feng?"
Ye Feng shook his head, "Don’t ask so much; I already said it’s a secret. If I told you, would it still be a secret?"
Zhou ngyu’s curiosity heightened, "Tell too, I promise I’ll keep it a secret!"
Ye Feng indifferently said, "Housekeeper Zhou was made to kneel on the ground by , that’s the secret, alright?"
"Pfft!" Zhou ngyu did not believe it at all, her eyes showing disdain for Ye Feng, "Can you stop joking? As if you could make Housekeeper Hu kneel. You don’t have that kind of strength, stop boasting! If you won’t tell , then don’t, but is there a need to boast like this?"
Zhou ngyu was a bit angry, arms crossed, she stood to one side.
"What boasting?" Just then, a man walked into the room, nobody else but Zhao Yebao.
Seeing Zhao Yebao suddenly appear, excitent flashed in Zhou ngyu’s eyes.
Zhou ngyu felt a fondness for Zhao Yebao based on his behavior today; she thought he was a very loyal and righteous person, no wonder he could beco the Family Head of the Zhao Family and the ruler of Chinatown.
Zhao Yebao smiled at Zhou ngyu, "What were you talking about just now? About boasting?"
Zhou ngyu replied, "It’s nothing, Ye Feng said he beat Housekeeper Hu, isn’t that just boasting..."
Zhao Yebao burst into laughter, "Ye Feng, I underestimated you before. Your strength is indeed very powerful, unimaginable that even Shi Jingyuan is no match for you, but rember, modesty is important. It’s good to be ambitious, but you must continue training hard. I believe you will eventually be able to defeat Housekeeper Hu, but you’re not there yet, you know?"
"Mmm..." Ye Feng just faintly nodded, offering no explanation.
Such matters, no one would believe, no matter who was told. Currently, as the Ye Feng of Chinatown, everyone knew he was only twenty-two years old. How could he possess such formidable strength to even defeat Innate Perfection like Housekeeper Hu? Thus, Zhao Yebao didn’t take Zhou ngyu’s words seriously.
Just then, Zhou ngyu eagerly asked, "Family Head Zhao, how did your negotiations with the Shi Family Master go? Did they agree to settle peacefully?"
Zhao Yebao nodded, "Yes! The Shi Family Master has agreed, and they will no longer pursue trouble with Ye Feng..."
"That’s great!" Zhou ngyu, excited by Zhao Yebao’s words, passionately said, looking at Ye Feng, "Ye Feng, you should quickly thank Family Head Zhao. If not for him, you would definitely be hunted by the Shi Family. This is truly a lifesaving grace!"
Hearing Zhou ngyu’s words, Ye Feng’s face remained calm, unfazed.
"Family Head Zhao, tell , if the Shi Family agreed, there must be so condition, right?" Ye Feng said.
Zhao Yebao was taken aback, not expecting Ye Feng to guess so quickly.
Zhao Yebao reluctantly nodded, "You’re right, the Shi Family indeed has demands..."
As he spoke, Zhao Yebao pulled out a contract from his bosom.
"Ye Feng, as long as you sign this contract, the Shi Family will no longer pursue your matters..." Zhao Yebao said.
Ye Feng took the contract, looked it over, then set it down and shook his head, "I’m sorry, but I won’t sign this..."
"What contract, let see!" Zhou ngyu’s curiosity piqued at that mont.
Then, Zhou ngyu took the contract, and after reading the contents, she too was stunned.
"Family Head Zhao, you want Ye Feng to give up his marriage contract with the Zhao Family? Isn’t this a bit too much?" Zhou ngyu’s expression turned sour.
It was known that the organization with Luoying God had connections with the Zhao Family, and retrieving clues through the Zhao Family would significantly ease the difficulty.
If Ye Feng beca the son-in-law of the Zhao Family, many actions would be much easier.
Thus, becoming the son-in-law of the Zhao Family was a path that should not be abandoned unless absolutely necessary.
However, Zhao Yebao helplessly shook his head, "Ah, there’s no way around it. Ye Feng truly caused a big disaster this ti. If the Shi Family is provoked, even I would not be their match. Although on the surface the Zhao Family and Shi Family seem evenly matched, in reality, both our families are backed by mysterious and powerful forces.
The mysterious force might support the Shi Family, and provoking them could likely lead to the Zhao Family’s demise. I’ve spent decades building what the Zhao Family has today, and I cannot just watch it be destroyed. Yet, I do not wish for Ye Feng to be in mortal danger, so this is the only action I could take.
The Shi Family Master and I have reached an agreent. If Ye Feng dissolves the marriage contract, and I marry Zhao Xinling to the Shi Family and let her take care of the crippled Shi Jingyuan, then the Shi Family Master has promised to leave Ye Feng alone. Ye Feng, I hope you can understand my difficulties. I was forced to make this decision—if you bla anyone, bla , Mr. Zhao, for my incompetence..."
