Chapter 52

PS: Today is the adult birthday of book friend 'Xuejimi', letter 'Hao Ge', and Stewed Meat wishes you a happy birthday and a joyful adulthood.........

"Little brother, how about joining our team? Our team has five people, two of whom are third-rank warriors. If you join us, we can definitely hunt fourth-rank beasts! The benefits will be distributed according to contribution!"

"Little brother, our team has a fourth-rank warrior, and we can hunt fourth-rank beasts very efficiently!"

......

As soon as Ye Feng stepped down from the arena, countless warriors surrounded him and spoke one after another.

Ye Feng had killed a second-rank warrior with two punches, and his strength was estimated to be around that of a third-rank warrior. For a body cultivator to have the strength of a third-rank warrior was simply unbelievable. Although there was almost no room for future improvement, it was not a problem for their team right now.

"Thank you all for your kindness, but I have no intention of joining a team for the time being. I just want to wait for the Dragon Gate Leap!" After hearing their words, Ye Feng politely bowed and said.

"Ah..."

These warriors sighed when they heard this. They then remembered that Ye Feng was not yet sixteen years old.

Indeed, the Dragon Gate Leap! No one wanted to miss it. Although they now spoke of 'freedom and ease,' in fact, they had all participated in the Dragon Gate Leap when they were young, but all failed.

If he joined a sect, he wouldn't have to worry too much about resources. At the very least, he wouldn't lack basic cultivation resources, and he wouldn't have to risk his life to obtain secret manuals, as the sect would generally provide them. So when they heard that Ye Feng wanted to participate in the Dragon Gate Leap, they knew it was impossible to recruit him into their team.

"Boy, hand over the Thunderfire Blade!" At this moment, Zhang Chao walked over, his face dark as he stared at Ye Feng and said.

"Ha ha, want it? Come to the Tianbao Pavilion auction this afternoon!"

Ye Feng didn't even look at Zhang Chao's appearance. He just weighed the blade in his hand and said indifferently.

"Looking for death!" Zhang Chao's face changed, and he roared angrily when he heard Ye Feng's words.

The Thunderfire Blade was a treasure in the Zhang family. If it ended up at an auction, it would be a great disgrace to the Zhang family.

"What? Angry and ashamed? According to the rules, this blade is mine! I can do whatever I want with it. I said it will be at the auction today, and it will definitely be there!"

Looking at the furious Zhang Chao, Ye Feng was completely unfazed by the aura of a fifth-rank warrior emanating from him.

Although Ye Feng had never fought a fifth-rank warrior, he believed that a fifth-rank warrior might not be his match.

"Boy, I advise you to hand over the Thunderfire Blade. Yes, we can't do anything to you now, but don't forget, you have family. Your mother and brother, right? They are not within the protection area!"

At this moment, Zhang Yue stepped forward and said coldly to Ye Feng.

"Zhang Yue, you can try. If anything happens to my family, I will exterminate your entire Zhang family!" Ye Feng's face turned cold when he heard Zhang Yue's words, and his eyes blazed with anger as he stared at the Zhang family members.

The people Ye Feng cared about most in this world were his mother and brother. This could be considered his Achilles' heel. After Zhang Yue said those words, he had already sentenced Zhang Yue to death in his heart.

If he were to fight the entire Zhang family, he might not be their match, but who was he? In his previous life, he was not only a master of traditional Chinese medicine but also an expert in poison. Although his poisons had never killed anyone before, he had used them to save lives. If using poison to harm people made him an expert, then using it to save lives made him a master.

Moreover, his poisons were not just for saving lives; they could also kill.

"You? Hahaha... You dare to leave the city? Exterminate my entire Zhang family!"

When he heard Ye Feng's threat, Zhang Yue laughed wildly, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

"Hmph! Don't believe me? You can try!" Ye Feng ignored the laughing Zhang Yue, said coldly, and turned to leave the arena.

The best thing to do now was to bring his mother and brother into the city as soon as possible. Although this would put them under the Zhang family's watch, the Zhang family wouldn't dare to act openly. If the Zhang family dared to make a move, he wouldn't hesitate to use any means to destroy them, even if it meant exposing his identity as a pharmacist.

......

"Manager Zhou, please auction this Thunderfire Blade this afternoon!" In the courtyard of Tianbao Pavilion, Ye Feng placed the Thunderfire Blade on the table and said.

Fangzheng had been refining pills these past two days, with Li Wenqi guarding him, so Ye Feng hadn't seen Fangzheng. Although Ye Feng was very curious about the pill refinement, he knew that the process was a secret of a pill master and could not be observed by others, so he didn't mention it.

"Thunderfire Blade? The Thunderfire Blade of the Zhang family in Qing Shuang City?" Manager Zhou's face showed surprise when he heard Ye Feng's words.

"Yes, it's the Thunderfire Blade of the Zhang family, won on the arena. Is there a problem?"

"Haha, Brother Ye, rest assured. Whether it's won or stolen, there's nothing we at Tianbao Pavilion can't sell!"

When Manager Zhou heard Ye Feng's words, he immediately understood his meaning. However, he didn't care at all and laughed wildly.

"Powerful!"

Ye Feng couldn't help but sigh inwardly. A manager of a merchant house could be so powerful, which made him secretly admire the strength of Tianbao Pavilion.

"Ha ha, Brother Ye, it seems you've made quite a haul! But the Zhang family is vengeful, so be careful. Although open combat is not allowed in Qing Shuang City, there are many underhanded dealings!"

After taking the blade from Ye Feng, Manager Zhou pondered for a moment and said.

Ye Feng naturally understood these things. In his previous life, he had seen through them all.

"By the way, Brother Ye, your mother and brother are just fifty miles away from Qing Shuang City!"

"Ah! So soon?"

Ye Feng hadn't expected Tianbao Pavilion to be so efficient. He had entrusted Manager Zhou with the task last night, and he hadn't expected them to arrive in Qing Shuang City so quickly.

"Ha ha, the Tianbao Pavilion in Green Mountain Town sent them directly!" Because of his good relationship with Fangzheng, Manager Zhou was very humble. After receiving Ye Feng's request, he immediately contacted the Tianbao Pavilion in Green Mountain Town, and they set out at dawn.

Hearing this, Ye Feng hurriedly said goodbye to Manager Zhou, bought a horse, and rushed out of the city.

"Tell the young master that the target has left Tianbao Pavilion and seems to be leaving the city!"

As soon as Ye Feng left Tianbao Pavilion, a few beggars in a corner muttered to each other. Two of them hurried away, while another followed Ye Feng.

On the official road outside Qing Shuang City, warriors were coming and going. Although Niujiao Village was relatively close to Qing Shuang City, some villages were said to be two days and one night away.

On this road, a carriage was particularly noticeable, not because it was luxurious, but because of the emblem on its side.

"A basin filled with various treasures!" This was the emblem of Tianbao Pavilion.

In Qing Shuang City, Tianbao Pavilion had absolute authority, and even some sects were unwilling to offend it.

"Xiao Hao!"

When Ye Feng approached the carriage and saw Ye Hao sitting on the carriage pole, he called out.

"Brother, why are you here!" Ye Hao was pleasantly surprised to see Ye Feng.

None of them had expected that Ye Feng would buy a house in Qing Shuang City in just a few weeks. They thought the person sent to pick them up was joking, but when they saw Ye Feng's handwritten letter, they believed it was true.

Although Ye Hao and the others had never been to Qing Shuang City, they had heard about it and knew that houses there were extremely expensive. Lin Yuan, for example, had only managed to buy a house in Qing Shuang City with the help of his eldest son, which made the people of Niujiao Village envious. Now, Ye Feng had also bought a house, making them feel as if they were in a dream.

"Xiao Feng!"

At this moment, Ling Wanrong stepped out of the carriage and called out excitedly when she saw Ye Feng.

"Mother!"

"Um?"

Hearing his mother's call, Ye Feng quickly responded respectfully, but he suddenly froze.

Behind Ling Wanrong, a middle-aged man with a somewhat graceful demeanor stepped out of the carriage.

This middle-aged man gave Ye Feng a very familiar feeling, but he was sure he had never seen him before.

And this man? Although he appeared calm on the surface, Ye Feng could see a hint of excitement in his eyes.

"Xiao Feng, this is your father, Ye Chenshan!"

When Ling Wanrong saw Ye Feng looking at the middle-aged man with a puzzled expression, she blushed slightly, glanced at the man, and said to Ye Feng.

"What? Father? Mother, didn't you say that Father had already...?"

When he heard Ling Wanrong's words, Ye Feng was shocked.

Years ago, they had asked their mother about their father, and Ling Wanrong had told them that their father had died. The villagers had also confirmed this, saying that their father had died in a beast tide.

"Feng'er, don't you remember me? You used to love riding on my shoulders!"

When he heard Ye Feng's words, the middle-aged man's eyes welled up with tears, and he said excitedly.
