Chapter 84

Ma Pi's face twitched. He had never thought that a good-for-nothing like Ning Yi would dare to say such things to him face-to-face.

His fists clenched instantly. Dealing with this good-for-nothing wouldn't even require him to use his fingers; he could make him die without a trace. But he glanced around.

Nearby were Coach Gao Yang, Gu Ying, and Li Jiawei, and further away were Director Zhao, Liu Jingjing, and Feng Yingruo.

Clearly, this wasn't the time for him to make a move.

"You have some guts!" Ma Pi's face darkened, and he sneered, "But don't get too cocky! We'll see about this."

With that, he picked up the thermal drink and walked back, clearly unhappy.

"Ning Yi, what did that guy say?" Li Jiawei, who had taken a sip of water, walked over, glanced at Ma Pi's back, and asked curiously.

"Nothing! He's just jealous that I'm better-looking than him." Ning Yi smiled calmly, paused for a moment, and then added, "He told me to stay away from you. It seems... he has his eyes on you and wants to take you as his wife!"

Li Jiawei nearly choked on her water: "You're not kidding, right?"

"If you don't believe me, you can ask him yourself." Ning Yi shrugged, "He even promised that if I leave you and provide him with your information, he would give me some money."

Li Jiawei pursed her lips and frowned, staring at Ma Pi in the distance, and said unhappily, "No way, did you agree to him?"

Ning Yi shook his head.

"Hmph, good for you!"

"The price wasn't right!" Ning Yi clicked his tongue.

"You bastard!" Li Jiawei was furious but still curious, "How much did he offer?"

"Ten thousand!"

Li Jiawei sneered, "He must think very little of me. A mere ten thousand for my information!"

"Exactly, at least twenty thousand..." Ning Yi dodged Li Jiawei's deadly kick.

"So, what did you finally tell him?" Li Jiawei retracted her leg and asked unhappily, "Why did he look so angry and leave?"

"Nothing much, I just gave him four words." Ning Yi said calmly.

"What words?"

"Go to hell..."

"Uh..." Li Jiawei was speechless for a moment, then finally gave him a thumbs up, "You're amazing! I guarantee no one else would dare say that to him."

In a black Phantom SUV, Ma Pi, now dressed in a black vertical-collar suit, lit a slender cigarette, took a puff, and slowly exhaled a wisp of smoke.

He looked relaxed, as if he had already forgotten the humiliating defeat on the martial arts platform.

"Ao Hui, that good-for-nothing must die. I hope you won't let me down this time." Ma Pi's eyes were half-closed, speaking to Guo Hui, who sat beside him, looking nervous.

"Rest assured, this time I will personally supervise... no, I will do it myself."

"Wait, since he narrowly escaped death, he seems to have changed. Do you think someone is secretly helping him?"

Guo Hui immediately flattered, "You are truly wise. I have suspected it for a long time. Look at Ning Yi now; his academic performance has suddenly improved, and Xu Kun, Li Tianhao, and other ordinary hooligans are no match for him. Last time, Guo Yan prepared to teach him a lesson on the rooftop but mysteriously lost all his fighting spirit. It would be strange if no expert was helping him."

Ma Pi pondered for a moment, "What you say makes sense. I thought he might be hiding his true strength, so I approached him today. But I found no trace of his inner energy, which means he is still a good-for-nothing. But if there is an expert, who would help such a good-for-nothing?"

"I don't know." Guo Hui scratched his head, "Li Jiawei, her level isn't enough, but her performance today makes me suspect her. But if it's her, it doesn't make sense..."

Ma Pi interrupted him impatiently, "Regardless, there is definitely an expert behind him. This means we need to be more cautious in dealing with him. We are at a critical juncture, and we can't afford any mistakes."

Ma Pi frowned, thought for a moment, and then sighed, "Let him be arrogant for a while. He's about to graduate anyway. Once he leaves school, we can settle accounts with him. We'll see who can save him then."

"Boss, don't worry. Killing him directly isn't a good idea, but I have a plan to teach him a lesson and maybe even draw out his expert." Guo Hui said, rubbing his still sore cheek.

"What's your plan?"

"Boss, I know his weakness, but it will take a few days to prepare properly..."

******

Ma Pi's expected revenge did not come. For several days, everything was calm.

So Ning Yi enjoyed a period of peace. Taking advantage of the reopening of Baoxing Entertainment City, he earned a lot of experience and money over several days. To avoid drawing attention, he didn't guess all thirteen matches correctly, but even so, in less than a week,

His cultivation had already reached the 65th level of the Qi Practitioner Third Stage, almost reaching the middle stage.

This cultivation level had already surpassed Li Jiawei.

As for money, he didn't earn much, but he had already broken through the ten thousand mark, no longer a poor nobody.

Of course, he didn't idle during his free time. Whenever he had a chance, he would go to the Chongwen Pavilion to read a large amount of martial arts information.

Surprisingly, the extensive martial arts knowledge he acquired during this period was very beneficial to him.

More importantly, he had a rough understanding of the Feng Ying family's background.

Feng Yingkong started earning his first fortune about fifty years ago when he was only eight or nine years old. At the age of twenty-two, he became a blue-level expert, a feat that no one has matched to this day.

He then founded the Qiwai Group and gradually expanded into various industries such as crystals, energy, automobiles, finance, real estate, manufacturing, education, and computers, controlling the economic lifeline of the Haixi region.

At that time, besides his older brother Feng Yinghou, younger brother Feng Yingcheng, and sister Feng Ying'e, he had nine sworn brothers.

For example, the current head of the Ma family, Ma Jinzhong, the head of the Shangguan family, Shangguan Hong, and the Yang and Gu families, among others. Almost all the prominent families in the Haixi region had some connection with the Feng Ying family.

This also established the Feng Ying family's supreme status in the Haixi and Huaxia regions.

However, when Feng Yingkong was in his forties and at the peak of his career, he mysteriously began to withdraw from the Qiwai Group and stopped participating in the group and family affairs, starting a long-term seclusion.

According to the records, this was when Feng Yingruo's father had just passed away and Feng Yingruo was just born.

So the records speculate that Feng Yingkong was probably struck by grief and thus entered seclusion.

Afterward, the power of the Feng Ying family fell into the hands of Feng Yinghou, his older brother. A few years later, Feng Yinghou died unexpectedly, and the power of the Feng Ying family was transferred to his younger brother, Feng Yingcheng.

Feng Yingcheng soon became embroiled in a scandal, leading to conflicts with the Zhong, Wu, and Mu families in the capital. During the conflict, although the Wu family declined and the Zhong family lost its status as the top family in the capital,

The Feng Ying family also suffered heavy losses, with the first generation of elites almost completely wiped out. Feng Yingcheng and Feng Ying'e were also injured in the conflict and died shortly after.

In a critical moment, Feng Yingkong re-emerged to take control, and the Feng Ying family rose again. However, by this time, the Feng Ying family was already in decline, and Feng Yingkong's sworn brothers had each established their own factions, with the capital's powerful families stirring up trouble. The entire Haixi region had changed.

Despite this, the Feng Ying family still dominated the Haixi region.

After turning the tide, Feng Yingkong once again entered seclusion, and the affairs of the Feng Ying family were divided into several parts. Family affairs were managed by Feng Yinghou's eldest son, Feng Yingyong; the Qiwai Group was managed by Feng Yingqin's adopted daughter, Feng Yingshuang; the Feng Ying Foundation was managed by Feng Yingcheng's eldest daughter, Feng Yingqinglian; and the family council, composed of the direct descendants of the Feng Ying family, oversaw all affairs of the Feng Ying family.

In short, the current Feng Ying family is relatively scattered, but there is a basic consensus that the future heir of the Feng Ying family is undoubtedly Feng Yingruo, who is still in her third year of high school.

So now Ning Yi understands how great the crisis facing the Feng Ying family is. On the surface, Feng Yingruo is still a princess who commands a hundred responses, but in reality, once the news of Feng Yingkong's death spreads,

Not to mention the Zhong and Mu families from the capital and the Ma family from the Haixi region, even within the Feng Ying family, there are many people who want her to disappear.
