149: Chapter 149 Acting as Yuan Lingzhi's Boyfriend

Faced with Yuan Lingzhi's sudden call, Zhao Feiyu answered in confusion.

"Is this Big Brother Feiyu? It's Yuan Hong."

"It's me. Why are you calling me from your sister's phone?"

"It's like this, Big Brother Feiyu. My sister was too embarrassed to ask you, so I secretly took her phone to call you, hoping you could help her."

"What's so mysterious? Given our relationship, why be so formal?"

"Well, my sister returned from Jiangbei City to Yunduan City recently because Liu Kai from the Liu Family of Tianhai City came to propose marriage to her."

"Isn't that a good thing?"

Zhao Feiyu asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Does your sister not like him?"

"Not only does she not like him, she absolutely loathes him. Big Brother Feiyu, let me tell you, this guy Liu Kai is a total scumbag."

"Their Liu Family in Tianhai City is similar to our Yuan Family in Yunduan City; many of them have entered politics and hold immense influence in Tianhai City."

Yuan Hong explained.

"My father is a disciple of Old Master Liu of the Liu Family. This matter started with a casual remark once made by Old Master Liu. Who would have thought that after all these years, Liu Kai would find out and take it seriously."

"But I heard this guy already has a wife. It's just that she's given him three daughters and still no son."

"So the Liu Family indulges Liu Kai's philandering."

"However, Liu Kai doesn't just sleep with anyone; the women he targets are basically from prestigious families everywhere."

"I don't want my sister to become a breeding tool for the Liu Family."

Hearing this, Zhao Feiyu frowned, understanding the full context of the situation.

"So, how do you want me to help?"

"It's simple. I want you to act as my sister's boyfriend."

"Ah, that might not be appropriate, right?"

Zhao Feiyu immediately felt conflicted.

"I know this might cause you unnecessary trouble, but I'm really out of options now."

Yuan Hong said with a troubled expression.

"The other party is incredibly powerful in Tianhai City. If you get involved, Big Brother Feiyu, it will definitely bring you some trouble, but I won't let you help for nothing."

"I know you're an Ancient Martial Artist. I commissioned someone to bid on an Earth-rank ancient martial arts manual at an auction in Tianhai City. If you can help me with this, I'm willing to give it to you as a reward."

Zhao Feiyu's eyes widened.

"An Earth-rank ancient martial arts manual?"

"How much did you pay for it at the auction?"

"Money is no object. As long as you help, Big Brother, this manual is yours. I only want my sister to be happy."

Hearing this, Zhao Feiyu began to hesitate.

He had only obtained his Xuan Yu Vajra Art after receiving trillions in cashback.

Furthermore, upgrading his skills now required an enormous amount of wealth.

If it really was an Earth-rank skill, it would be worth the risk.

"Fine. In that case, how do you want me to help?"

"It's simple. Please come to Yunduan City. That guy Liu Kai is still lingering here and won't leave. If we let him know my sister has a boyfriend, maybe he'll back off."

"In that case, I'll be there this afternoon."

Things in Jiangbei City had basically settled down.

With Xia Zhu here to help manage the group's affairs, Zhao Feiyu didn't need to personally oversee everything.

Zhao Feiyu then arranged the affairs in Jiangbei City and took a car to Yunduan City alone.

It had been about a month since he last visited Yunduan City.

The first thing Zhao Feiyu did upon arriving in Yunduan City was take some gifts to Song Manli's home.

After visiting Song Yunfeng, Zhao Feiyu went straight to the Yuan Family home without stopping.

This was Zhao Feiyu's first time visiting the Yuan Family.

It happened to be the time for the Yuan Family's dinner banquet.

"I say, how can you be so shameless? My sister already told you she has a boyfriend, so why are you still pestering her?"

Yuan Hong, who already had a short temper, was driven to the point of lashing out by Liu Kai's relentless and shameless harassment.

However, in the face of Yuan Hong's scolding, Liu Kai remained calm and unruffled.

He didn't take Yuan Hong seriously at all.

But the more he was ignored, the more furious Yuan Hong became.

"So what if she has a boyfriend? I have a wife too, but that doesn't stop me from liking Lingzhi."

"Feelings shouldn't be bound by worldly conventions."

"As long as I like Lingzhi, that's enough."

Yuan Hong growled through gritted teeth, "I have never seen such a brazenly shameless person."

After saying that, Yuan Hong turned to his father. "Dad, say something!"

At this moment, Yuan Zhongda remained silent, not uttering a single word.

Because Liu Kai was his teacher's grandson, it was difficult for him to scold the man.

"Uncle Yuan, you are my grandfather's last disciple. You personally agreed to this marriage back then. Are you going to go back on your word now?"

As he spoke, Liu Kai's expression gradually became playful, with a hint of danger in his tone.

"Uncle Yuan, do you know why you haven't been promoted all these years and have remained only the second-in-command of Yunduan City?"

Yuan Zhongda slowly looked up but didn't speak.

"If Lingzhi can bear me a son to carry on the Liu Family line, then you, Uncle Yuan, wouldn't be stuck in your current position."

"Although my grandfather is retired now, the influence of my Liu Family in Tianhai City is still not to be underestimated."

"My father is the second-in-command of Tianhai City, my uncles are all provincial-level officials, and my eldest brother is a commander in the military. If Lingzhi marries me, your Yuan Family won't be limited to this small corner of Yunduan City."

Yuan Zhongda slowly looked up, seemingly having made a decision. "Young Master Liu, please leave. I believe your grandfather knows my character; I will not trade my daughter's happiness for my career."

Hearing this, Liu Kai's face immediately darkened.

"Is Uncle Yuan refusing to give my Liu Family face?"

"It's not a matter of face. First of all, you are already married, which is not permitted under the laws of our Great Xia Dragon Country."

Yuan Zhongda said forcefully.

"Even in ancient times, it would be impossible for you to take my daughter as a concubine."

"Consider today's dinner as my hospitality to you, Young Master Liu. If there's nothing else, please leave after finishing your meal."

"You're being ungrateful!"

Liu Kai slammed the table and stood up, pointing at Yuan Zhongda.

"My marrying your daughter is me showing you respect. In Tianhai City, I don't know how many women like her are lining up for me to have them."

"I came all this way from Tianhai City, and you're being this disrespectful?"

"Do you believe that with just one word, I can have you removed from your position as the second-in-command of Yunduan City?"

Right then, Zhao Feiyu suddenly pushed the door open and entered.

"Who has such a big mouth to dare say they'll pull down the second-in-command of Yunduan City?"

Zhao Feiyu's voice suddenly rang out in the dining room.

Yuan Lingzhi's heart skipped a beat as she looked toward the door in pleasant surprise.

She saw Zhao Feiyu walking in through the door, carrying many bags.
