95: The Limit of Wind's Roar! Nourishing Essence Pill

"I want to go with the Feng family!"

Hearing this, Ye Feng frowned and advised, "Young Miss, please reconsider."

"Knowing full well that someone has followed them from Qingyang City to Liumian Prefecture specifically to deal with the Feng family, doing this is too irrational."

"After all, this is a matter between the Feng family and the Huangfu Family; what does it have to do with us? There's no need for you to wade into these muddy waters, Young Miss."

Lu An'an subconsciously retorted, "Of course it has something to do with me!"

Ye Feng was puzzled. "What relation is there?"

Lu An'an opened her mouth, but the words that were about to burst out were suppressed just in time.

She didn't quite know how to answer this question.

She did like Feng Ming and wanted to marry him.

But this matter couldn't be revealed for the time being.

Especially saying it in front of Ye Feng; once leaked, it would mean her father would find out.

This would be very disadvantageous for Feng Ming.

Let's put it this way.

Even if she couldn't Cultivate, she was still the daughter of the City Lord.

With such status and position, wanting to marry a man who already had a wife—and as a concubine at that—anyone would find it unacceptable.

She feared her father would then wish to join the Huangfu Family in wiping out the Feng family.

After a moment of silence, Lu An'an spoke.

"The Huangfu Family is suppressing independent businesses, and I couldn't keep my shop, so I sold myself to the Feng family. They are now my employers."

"If the employer is gone, I, as the manager, would be useless. I won't force you to protect the Feng family; you can still follow my father's orders and only protect me."

"But I will definitely go with the Feng family."

"As for what to do then, that's up to you."

Lu An'an could only decide her own actions; she couldn't force Ye Feng.

If he truly was unwilling, she had no other choice.

But by staying with the Feng family, she was essentially coercing Ye Feng into helping them along the way.

"Could it be that the Eldest Young Miss has taken a fancy to that Feng Ming?"

Lu An'an quickly denied it. "You're overthinking it; I haven't."

Ye Feng didn't say much more and smiled. "Since the Eldest Young Miss insists, I know what to do."

"We'll set off once everyone has arrived."

Lu An'an remembered something and asked, "By the way, did you send someone to the Prefectural Office?"

Ye Feng nodded. "I sent a team ahead to escort Luo Meng's body back to Qingyang City!"

"Calculating the time, they should have left two hours ago. There are people meeting them in Qingyang City, so there shouldn't be any problems."

Just as Ye Feng finished speaking.

Lu Qianqian came running over in a panic.

"Bro... Brother-in-law and the others are here."

As soon as Lu Qianqian spoke, she met Ye Feng's confused gaze.

"Brother-in-law? Whose brother-in-law? Yours?"

The question was directed at Lu Qianqian, but his eyes fell on Lu An'an once more.

Lu An'an panicked, but fortunately, she reacted quickly enough to pick up the thread.

"What brother-in-law? It's Jeff. The Second Young Master of the Feng Family is named Feng Ming, but his courtesy name is Jeff. Xiao Qian has always thought this name sounds better than Feng Ming, so she always calls him by his courtesy name."

"However, people who aren't familiar with it can easily misunderstand."

Lu Qianqian nodded quickly. "Tell me about it, I almost caused a huge misunderstanding."

Ye Feng laughed upon hearing this.

"It is quite a memorable name. Jeff! Brother-in-law! One listen and it's remembered!"

"Then let's go. It's the perfect chance for me to meet this Jeff!"

After saying that, Ye Feng took the lead, and Lu An'an and Lu Qianqian hurriedly followed.

Inside the cordoned-off area.

The Feng family's carriages stopped one after another.

Feng Ming and Feng Mian also got out of their carriages.

From a distance, they saw the Lu sisters approaching with a strange man.

Feng Mian quickly whispered a reminder.

"That is Ye Feng, the City Lord's confidant and a powerful expert at the Middle Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm."

Feng Ming was somewhat shocked. Ye Feng didn't look very old, maybe twenty-three or twenty-four, yet he was already an expert at the Middle Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.

"Qingyang City truly is a place of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. I'm actually looking forward to my future life there."

While they were talking, Ye Feng, Lu An'an, and the others arrived.

Ye Feng stepped forward, looked at Feng Ming, and smiled.

"Second Young Master of the Feng Family, Jeff. I have long heard your name; seeing you today, you are indeed extraordinary."

Feng Ming was completely bewildered.

Who could handle being called "Brother-in-law" right off the bat?

"I presume this must be the Third Young Master of the Ye Residence, Jeff!"

Feng Mian, standing beside him, was also a bit dazed.

He only heard Ye Feng say:

"My name is Ye Feng, courtesy name Huainian!"

"Young Master Feng may simply call me Huainian."

Feng Ming was still a bit confused, while Lu Qianqian and Lu An'an were winking at him incessantly.

Fearing Feng Ming wouldn't understand, Lu Qianqian quickly spoke up, "Young Master Feng, we just introduced you to Ye Feng and even told him your courtesy name. Ye Feng even praised how unique it is. Jeff—he misunderstood and thought I was calling you 'Brother-in-law'."

Hearing this, Feng Ming understood instantly. This wasn't a misunderstanding; this little girl had clearly let something slip.

And so she had made 'Jeff' his courtesy name. He didn't even have a courtesy name!

Even if he did, he wouldn't pick 'Jeff'!

How would he introduce himself in the future?

"Hello everyone, my name is Feng Ming, courtesy name Jeff!"

"You can call me Jeff?"

If he really did that, wouldn't he get beaten up?

Feng Ming was helpless, but he had no choice but to brace himself and play along.

"Jeff greets Brother Huainian."

Ye Feng smiled and reached out to shake Feng Ming's hand.

However, Ye Feng increased the strength in his grip.

Feng Ming naturally noticed, but his expression remained unchanged as he met the force head-on.

Ye Feng arched an eyebrow and quietly continued to increase the pressure.

As an expert at the Middle Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, his physique was naturally very powerful.

Ye Feng's strength increased until it reached the level of the First Layer of the Golden Core Realm, and Feng Ming finally felt a hint of pressure.

His current physique could be said to be invincible below the Golden Core Realm.

But the opponent was a Nascent Soul.

With a gap of two major Realms, Feng Ming naturally couldn't compare.

But even this was enough to shock Ye Feng.

"Peak Foundation Establishment Stage, yet he can withstand the pressure of the Eighth Layer of the Golden Core Realm."

Seeing that Feng Ming held on until the Eighth Layer of the Golden Core Realm before showing a hint of defeat, Ye Feng was secretly surprised.

"The Ninth Layer of the Qi Refining Realm, yet he can withstand the Eighth Layer of the Golden Core Realm!"

"This kid has something! No wonder the Huangfu Family couldn't take him down."

Ye Feng wanted to test Feng Ming's limit further.

Lu An'an stepped forward first and separated their hands.

"Young Master Feng, we will set off with the Disciple recruitment team, but there's something I want to tell you."

"Ye Feng said..."

"Young Miss! Watch your words!"

Before Lu An'an could finish, she was interrupted by Ye Feng.

However, Lu An'an said:

"Ye Feng, since Young Master Feng's family is traveling with us, they have the right to know everything."

She and Feng Ming had long been of one mind; it was impossible to hide such important news from him.

So, she told Feng Ming the full details of the news.

Feng Ming laughed upon hearing it.

"Is that so?"

"Don't worry, they won't make a move!"

Ye Feng laughed at those words.

"Young Master Jeff, aren't you being a bit too confident?"

"You should know in your heart what kind of people your Feng family has provoked. How could they possibly not act?"

Feng Ming raised an eyebrow.

"Is Huainian doubting me?"

Ye Feng nodded. "How can I believe you?"

Feng Ming smiled and said, "That's not necessarily true. My strength might not be equal to yours, but I believe my strategic skills are quite decent."

"Since Huainian doesn't believe me, do you dare to make a bet with me?"

"It won't be a bet for nothing. If I lose, I will give every person you brought a Fourth Grade Yangyuan Pill."

"How about it?"
