At this mont, Zhao Yebao’s expression was one of unparalleled agony, as if he had made an extrely difficult decision. His entire deanor seed to have aged in an instant. Zhou ngyu, upon seeing this, felt an overwhelming sense of guilt.
"Feng, otherwise, just let it be and sign the papers," Zhou ngyu advised Feng with a look of helplessness in her eyes. "As long as you are willing to annul the engagent, the Shi Family won’t pursue your troubles. Not only that, but Mr. Zhao won’t be in trouble either. Today Mr. Zhao has gotten into this ss with the Shi Family all because of you. You can’t let Mr. Zhao suffer!"
However, Ye Feng was completely unmoved, retaining an air of calm: "I’ve said it before, there’s no way I can call off the engagent. This was an arrangent made by my father on my behalf; my word alone doesn’t count, unless my father agrees!"
Ye Feng was very resolute, not because he truly wanted to marry Zhao Xinling, but because he was not actually Ye Feng. This engagent wasn’t his; he was rely impersonating soone else. Ye Feng wasn’t the master of this affair, nor the party involved in the engagent. Why should Ye Feng make decisions on behalf of Ye Feng?
Zhao Yebao spoke earnestly, "Feng, I understand your dilemma, but we are in modern tis now. One’s own marriage is no longer sothing us elders can dictate. The choice is yours to make, so follow your heart. If you want to call off the engagent, you can do so by just signing here. You don’t need to consider your father’s opinion!"
Yet Ye Feng still shook his head, "Mr. Zhao, there’s no need for further words. My position is very clear; it is absolutely impossible for to annul the engagent. You could repeat yourself a hundred tis, and my stance would remain the sa!"
"Idiot!" Zhao Yebao could not help but angrily shout at Ye Feng, glaring at him: "Feng, do you realize that I am trying to help you here? If you don’t agree, the Shi Family will definitely not let you off. When that ti cos, you’ll be left with no other path but death. If you just agree, not only would you be out of trouble, but our Zhao Family could also be safe. Why won’t you see reason?"
Ye Feng scoffed, "Mr. Zhao, if you want to break the engagent, just say it outright. Just say it loud and clear, ’I, Zhao Yebao, do not wish to keep my promise. I, Zhao Yebao, do not want to marry off my daughter to Ye Feng.’ You simply want to marry your daughter to the Shi Family and form an alliance with them. If that’s the case, I agree. There’s no problem at all!"
Upon hearing Ye Feng’s words, Zhao Yebao’s face turned extrely unsightly. Everyone knew Zhao Yebao to be a man of integrity, upright and honorable. How could he possibly do sothing to tarnish his own reputation?
Therefore, Zhao Yebao would absolutely not agree to what Ye Feng said. Zhao Yebao glared at Ye Feng: "Feng, I would never do that. However, if you don’t agree, I will have no choice but to hand you over to the Shi Family. What they might do to you, I can’t say. You must understand, I cannot let the Zhao Family fall under my watch.
The lives of over two hundred people in our Zhao Family cannot be lost because of you. I’ll ask you one last ti, do you agree to annul the engagent or not? If you don’t, I’ll take you to the Shi Family Master right now so they can deal with you!"
Ye Feng shook his head lightly, "I won’t agree. Do as you please..."
Ye Feng didn’t care at all, his eyes reflecting a sense of ease.
"Good! Good! Good!" Zhao Yebao, infuriated, exclaid three tis in a row, his eyes filled with anger as he loudly said, "If that’s how stubborn you are, then don’t regret it. If you manage to return alive from the Shi Family, my daughter will still marry you. If you can’t return alive, then don’t bla for not keeping the promise.
Tomorrow, the Zhao Family will proceed with the wedding as planned, and we will wait for you to return. However, if you aren’t able to return from the Shi Family by seven o’clock tomorrow evening, then don’t bla us, as you failed to honor the agreent!"
Now, Zhao Yebao had made his position very clear. If Ye Feng went to the Shi Family, it would an certain death. The wedding would go on as scheduled, but if Ye Feng failed to return alive, then Zhao Yebao wouldn’t have violated the agreent.
"Alright..." Yet, Ye Feng was still entirely unconcerned, lightly nodding in agreent to Zhao Yebao.
Zhao Yebao, seething with anger, said, "Fine, if that’s the case, then follow the Shi Family Master and go back with them today!"
Just then, several people entered the guest room from outside. The person leading them was none other than the Shi Family Master, Shi Tianlong, along with two of the Shi Family’s servants propping up the weakened Shi Jingyuan, who had been crippled by Ye Feng.
Shi Jingyuan’s eyes were filled with a thick intent to kill, glaring fixedly at Ye Feng. If looks could kill, Shi Jingyuan’s gaze would have slain Ye Feng hundreds of tis over.
Shi Tianlong addressed Zhao Yebao, "Family Head Zhao, I overheard the entire conversation from outside. Since this young man doesn’t agree, then it ans he’ll be coming back with today, right?"
Zhao Yebao nodded, "Indeed." But then he turned to Ye Feng and asked one last ti, "Nephew, I’ll ask you one final ti, are you willing to call off the engagent? If so, the Shi Family Master won’t target you anymore. Otherwise, they will take you away today, and your fate will be uncertain."
"Not calling it off..." Ye Feng simply uttered two words indifferently.
Hearing Ye Feng’s reply, Shi Jingyuan, despite his frailty, was filled with excitent, "Good, good, good! If that’s the way you want it, then it suits just fine. Ye Feng, you fool, even if you disagree, once you’re dead, Zhao Xinling will still beco my wife. I love this choice of yours, haha!"
At this mont, Shi Jingyuan was triumphantly ecstatic. Although Ye Feng had ruined his cultivation, there was nothing more hateful than taking soone’s wealth, wife, or life. Now, just thinking about being able to kill Ye Feng, take his life, and steal his fiancée made Shi Jingyuan feel incredibly gratified. Yet Ye Feng was utterly indifferent.
