142: Chapter 142 Expanding Security

"Ma Tianlei, you should be well aware of the whole story. Your grandson used his influence to bully others and had his hands chopped off, and your son was killed trying to reclaim face. You brought this upon yourselves!"

Tang Haichuan stood there.

Every word he spoke was filled with an overbearing aura that surpassed even the Ma Family.

"If you, Ma Tianlei, want to use your seniority to bully the young, I, Tang Haichuan, wouldn't mind testing my strength against yours. It would be a perfect chance to see exactly how powerful the Baodan Strength is on you!"

"Good, good, good!"

Ma Tianlei suppressed his fury and nodded. "Although my son was at fault, it is only natural that a life must be paid for with a life and a debt with money. Today, you, Tang Haichuan, are protecting him, but I don't believe you can stay by his side forever!"

"Today, I, Ma Tianlei, admit defeat. We have plenty of time ahead of us. Until we meet again!"

After speaking, Ma Tianlei ordered his men to carry Ma Dezhong's corpse and left the Jiaxing Hotel.

"Thank you, Old Master Tang!"

Zhao Feiyu bowed deeply and spoke with gratitude.

Tang Haichuan waved his hand and helped him up. "If it weren't for your Guanyin Golden Pill, it would have been difficult for me to break through to the Baodan Strength!"

"I had just come out of seclusion when I received a call from that girl, Yuan Lingzhi, saying you were in danger here."

"It just so happened that my seclusion was in Jiangbei City, so I rushed over. Fortunately, you are safe!"

Hearing this, Zhao Feiyu couldn't help but look at Zhang Yafei.

It seemed Zhang Yafei had notified Yuan Lingzhi, who then asked Tang Haichuan to come to the rescue.

The dust had settled.

Today's engagement banquet had been disrupted by this incident and could no longer proceed.

Zhao Feiyu took a deep breath and walked up to Zhang Baiyu.

"I'm sorry. Because of my affairs, your engagement banquet was turned into a complete mess today!"

"It is I who should apologize to you, Brother Feiyu. I didn't have the ability to protect my younger brother's wife!"

Zhang Baiyu lowered his head apologetically, not daring to meet Zhao Feiyu's gaze.

"I know your difficulties. You have such a large group to support, after all. It's understandable that you faced this situation from the perspective of interests!"

Zhao Feiyu gave a faint smile, as if he didn't blame Zhang Baiyu at all.

After speaking, Zhao Feiyu turned and left without looking back.

But after taking only a few steps...

Zhao Feiyu stopped again.

"In this world, you win some and you lose some. But everyone has their own definition in their heart of what is worth cherishing and what is worth giving up!"

Hearing the underlying meaning in Zhao Feiyu's words, Zhang Baiyu knew deep down.

He had lost this friend.

...

...

After returning to Haixin Island, Zhao Feiyu warmly entertained Tang Haichuan and Tang Yinger.

If they hadn't arrived in time today...

Facing a fellow like Ma Tianlei might have been quite troublesome for Zhao Feiyu.

"Ma Tianlei is no ordinary person. He's a man who seeks revenge for even the smallest grievance. You must be careful after I leave!"

Tang Haichuan's words carried a faint tone of concern.

"But don't worry, Ma Tianlei won't make a move against you in the short term. The news of my breakthrough to the Baodan Strength will likely spread throughout the Ancient Martial Arts World soon. Based on that, Ma Tianlei won't dare to personally attack you."

"However, just because Ma Tianlei doesn't act doesn't mean other members of the Ma Family won't. These people use any means necessary; you must be wary of their underhanded tactics."

"Don't worry, Old Master Tang. As long as Ma Tianlei doesn't step in, I can handle other matters!"

Zhao Feiyu spoke with a touch of confidence.

"That's good!"

Tang Haichuan nodded. "By the way, I wonder if you could disclose who your master is?"

Tang Haichuan now had a certain understanding of Zhao Feiyu's strength.

"Although you know profound cultivation methods, you don't understand combat techniques. That's why you fell into a disadvantage against Ma Dezhong!"

"Otherwise, with your mid-stage Bright Strength—wait, you're already at the late-stage Bright Strength?"

Tang Haichuan felt a slight surge of surprise.

"The last time I saw you, you weren't even an Ancient Martial Artist. It's only been a few days, and you've had such a massive change. It seems the cultivation method you practice must be at least at the Profound Rank!"

Facing Tang Haichuan's inquiry, Zhao Feiyu nodded and admitted it frankly.

"That's right, Old Master Tang. It's a mid-level Profound Rank family inheritance. It's just that time was short, and I haven't had the chance to learn combat techniques yet!"

"Oh?"

Hearing it was a family inheritance, Tang Haichuan's eyebrows shot up.

The Ancient Martial Arts Families of Great Xia could be counted on two hands.

Zhao Feiyu's financial resources were so vast, and he could easily produce a Profound Rank cultivation method.

The family behind him was certainly no ordinary entity.

However, seeing that Zhao Feiyu was reluctant to mention it, Tang Haichuan didn't press further.

Tang Haichuan simply shook his head with a light laugh. "The Zhang Family and the Ma Family have always been at odds. Today, they didn't help you and instead just stood there watching the show. Their eyes must be on a dog's head; they couldn't even see through your special background. They've truly missed a golden opportunity!"

"However, if you don't mind, young friend, I have a mid-level Yellow Rank technique manual here. I wonder if you're interested?"

"Really?"

Zhao Feiyu's eyes widened instantly.

"Is Old Master Tang planning to take me as a disciple?"

As he spoke, Zhao Feiyu made a move as if to kneel.

But he was held up by Tang Haichuan's hand.

"No, no, no, I wouldn't dare take you as a disciple. Your family background is powerful; this mid-level Yellow Rank manual is just to help you for the time being!"

Saying this, Tang Haichuan took out a blue-covered, slightly old-looking book.

Five large characters were written on it: 'Mighty Vajra Palm'.

"I see that your cultivation method belongs to the fierce external styles. If paired with this Mighty Vajra Palm, its power will surely be boundless. One palm strike would be enough to crush everything in its path!"

Zhao Feiyu took the manual with both hands excitedly and bowed deeply to Tang Haichuan.

"Thank you, Old Master Tang!"

Tang Haichuan smiled. "This technique is easy to pick up, but it requires the support of powerful and fierce strength, which suits you perfectly. Go and practice it well; I believe you can achieve some success in a few months!"

After thanking him once more...

Zhao Feiyu put the manual away.

Because of today's events, the banquet ended hurriedly, and everyone departed.

After leaving the venue, Zhao Feiyu took Zhang Yafei back to her room.

Zhang Yafei had suffered such humiliation today, so Zhao Feiyu naturally offered her comfort and care.

Looking at her face, where the swelling was slowly subsiding, Zhao Feiyu's eyes were full of heartache.

"Does it still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore!"

Zhang Yafei leaned into Zhao Feiyu's embrace.

Regarding today's matter...

Although she had been humiliated, Zhao Feiyu's arrival had given her an endless sense of security.

Knock, knock, knock!

Just then, Sister Lang's voice came from outside the door.

"Feiyu, the people from the International Falcon Security Group have arrived!"

"Good! I'm coming!"

Zhao Feiyu patted Zhang Yafei's back and said,

"I'm going to arrange the security work. You should rest first!"

"Mm! Go ahead!"

After returning from Zhang Baiyu's place...

Zhao Feiyu immediately had Sister Lang send an invitation to the International Falcon Security Group.

Since they had cooperated before, their arrival this time was to expand the security scope and raise the security level.
