Chapter 56

Yefeng noticed the change in Yefeng's eyes.

She couldn't understand why this young man, who had yet to make a name for himself, had such a complex gaze.

That gaze, as if filled with the loneliness of ages, made this young lady of the Ye family feel that although she was standing right next to Yefeng, she was actually very far away from him.

"What have you experienced..."

Suddenly, Yefeng felt a strange pain in her heart. She could sense that Yefeng was under immense pressure, far from the carefree and relaxed appearance he showed to others.

However, Yefeng didn't ask more. She just extended her fair hand and held Yefeng's palm, as if this could bring him some warmth and strength.

"Thank you."

Yefeng turned his head and saw the concerned and worried eyes of Yefeng. He smiled slightly.

"Report to the family head and the elders!"

Suddenly, a Ye family guard rushed into the central hall in a panic.

However, the guard was startled when he saw the bloodstained bodies of Ye Qingsong and Ye Ling on the floor of the hall.

"Speak, what happened?"

But Ye Tianya remained calm and spoke.

The guard wiped a cold sweat, realizing that something major had happened in the upper echelons of the family, but it probably had nothing to do with him, a mere guard.

The guard quickly saluted and bowed, saying, "Report to the family head, scouts have reported that a large group of black-armored soldiers is coming from the direction of the city lord's residence. The scouts have infiltrated the black-armored soldiers and learned that the young city lord, Chu He, seems to have grown impatient and has brought a large group of experts and black-armored soldiers to our Ye family to directly take the young lady!"

"Ridiculous!"

Ye Tianya, who had never experienced such humiliation, immediately ordered, "Gather all the people of our Ye family, and wait outside the family gate. The people of the city lord's residence will not set foot in our Ye family territory today!"

With Yefeng, the super expert, by his side, Ye Tianya's courage grew, and he was no longer afraid of the formidable city lord's residence!

Yefeng smiled slightly at Yefeng and said, "Young lady, let's go and see. Chu He's arrival is just right. We will subdue him and use his life to exchange for the dragon blood treasure pill from the city lord's residence to treat the family head's injuries."

When the crowd heard Yefeng say this, even Ye Yuanlong's mouth twitched. Yefeng's words were truly fierce.

Rumble!

Rumble!

Accompanied by the intense sound of hooves, a large group of black-armored soldiers from the city lord's residence galloped from the distance, raising dust everywhere.

This group of soldiers, the city lord's guards, were the feared black-armored soldiers. Each one was tall and robust, wearing heavy black armor, and holding long swords with a cold and intimidating aura.

This group of black-armored soldiers numbered in the hundreds, and each one had at least reached the True Martial Realm.

A group of black-armored soldiers composed entirely of true martial artists was incredibly formidable. In Nanyang County, they were a force that could crush everything and tear everything apart.

At the front of the black-armored soldiers, the young city lord, Chu He, rode a tall iron-armored horse, with a proud expression and a look of disdain in his eyes.

Because he had borrowed several hundred black-armored soldiers from his father, this force was enough to dominate the entire Nanyang County.

Thinking about how he would soon take the stunning and beautiful Yefeng from the Ye family,

Chu He's face immediately showed a twisted excitement.

"Yefeng, you will never escape from my grasp, hahaha."

Chu He let out a wild laugh, his whole body trembling with anticipation.

A black-armored soldier beside him hesitated and said to Chu He, "Young master, it's best to be cautious. After all, the Ye family is a prestigious family that has been passed down for hundreds of years in Nanyang County."

To this, Chu He only sneered coldly and said, "What kind of prestigious family? Not to mention the Ye family, even the entire Nanyang County is just a remote and insignificant place. The people of the Ye family are nothing more than a bunch of frogs at the bottom of a well who have never seen the real world. What is there to fear?"

Soon, this large group had arrived outside the Ye family's residence.

Many residents on the surrounding streets were drawn over, their voices filled with fear.

"This is the feared black-armored soldiers of the city lord's residence! The young and talented man at the front must be the brilliant young city lord, Chu He, of the city lord's residence!"

"That's right, it's him! It's said that this Chu He is a disciple of the first major sect of our Great Yan Dynasty. This time, he has come to escort the young lady of the Ye family."

"Hmph, the young lady of the Ye family has always kept her distance from this Chu He. This time, he has brought so many black-armored soldiers, which is probably not for a proper marriage, but to kidnap her!"

"Shh! If the people of the city lord's residence hear you say that, they will execute you on the spot!"

...

Around them, people were discussing the matter.

Many were worried about the Ye family. The black-armored soldiers of the city lord's residence were coming with great force, and if the Ye family resisted, they might be destroyed.

At this moment, the gates of the Ye family's residence suddenly opened.

Inside, Ye family guards and disciples came out, their faces tense but filled with determination, staring at the black-armored soldiers outside.

At this time, Ye Tianya, along with a group of elders, also came out.

Behind them, Yefeng held Yefeng's hand and slowly stepped out.

"Look! That white-robed young man is actually holding the hand of the Ye family's beautiful young lady. What is their relationship?"

"I recognize that white-robed young man. He is a foster son of the Ye family, who has always been of low status. How is he now surrounded by the high-ranking figures of the Ye family, as if he is the leader?"

On the street outside, many people who saw this scene had looks of surprise.

"Yefeng, you're still alive!" Chu He, sitting on his tall horse, was startled when he saw Yefeng not far away.

He thought that Yefeng had died in the hands of the Devil Blood Sect's demons in the Great Wasteland.

Seeing Yefeng holding Yefeng's hand, this intimate scene caused a storm of emotions in Chu He's heart.

This young city lord of Nanyang County's eyes immediately turned extremely dark: "Yefeng, you have already agreed to my proposal and will soon become my wife. But now you dare to be so intimate with another man!"

In front of the Ye family's residence, Yefeng's beautiful eyes immediately showed disgust, and she said, "Chu He, all the decisions I made before were out of necessity. You used the dragon blood treasure pill from the city lord's residence to threaten me, forcing me to marry you in exchange for the pill to treat my father's injuries. I once respected you as my senior, but you are a treacherous and despicable person!"
