Rebirth of the Peak Young Master

Chapter 948 948: Clay Figurine

After a long time, Qin Chaoyu tentatively opened her mouth and carefully asked, "Mr. Ye, where did you go yesterday? We turned the whole of Jianghai City upside down trying to find you."

Looking at the scenery flying by outside the window, Ye Feng's voice didn't turn back, but instead asked, "Do you really not know?"

"Uh..."

Qin Chaoyu looked a bit uneasy. Earlier she had exchanged information with Zhuang Manjing. That's how she knew that Ye Fengsheng had left Jianghai with Zhuang Wen's staff yesterday. However, Zhuang Wen's death was a massive blow to her, so she wanted to confirm it herself.

Ye Fengsheng glanced back at her, as if he could see through her thoughts, and said, "With the speed of those people, you should know about it, but you just want an accurate answer from me, isn't that right?"

Qin Chaoyu stiffly nodded, that beautiful face now like a clay sculpture devoid of expression.

"Then I'm telling you, it's true."

"I don't know what Zhuang Wen's death can bring, but I know you were keen on it," Ye Fengsheng said, looking through the rearview mirror at Zhuang Manjing's seemingly calm face.

A flash of panic swept through his eyes, and from his mind, he saw Zhuang Manjing forcing a smile: "Mr. Ye laughingly said that, after all, Zhuang Wen was my brother. When things happened, how could there be a possibility of happiness for my brother and sister?"

"Really?"

Ye Feng said nothing but glanced out the window again, showing a knowing expression, and said idly, "I don't want to know what your relationship with the banker is, and I won't care about it. But don't impose your thoughts on me. If you're wise, believe me. You will regret it."

The calculation that was originally hidden in her eyes vanished in an instant, replaced by a deeply buried fear, and Zhuang Manjing barely pretended to be calm while waves of emotions churned inside her.

From Ye Fengsheng, such an interesting character she found, she began cleverly to draw Ye Fengsheng into her plans, and judging by the fact that Ye Fengsheng killed Zhuang Wen, her calculations were undoubtedly successful.

Whether it was revealing the news of Qin Chaoyu searching for Jade Marrow or buying off the steward to sell Zhuang Wen's news, everything was flawless. Precisely because of that, she could be seen through by Ye Fengsheng, appearing so indifferent. But what Ye Fengsheng said gave her the illusion that she was fully exposed, with her mind entirely perceived by him. She felt very insecure, even having the urge to flee.

A vague warning indicated that the speaker was unwitting, but the listener was intentional.

Zhuang Manjing did not want to end with an "all is lost due to one mistake" scenario, so she forced herself to control her emotions, focused solely on driving, and didn't utter another word.

The teahouse in the north of the city had no name. Only Ning Jia's name was hung up, in fact, it had nothing to do with the Ning Family. Even so, Ning Yuyi and Ning Ann waited outside as early as possible. When they saw Ye Fengsheng's voice, they hurriedly rushed out. They should explain and stop Ye Fengsheng from making any mistakes.

But Ye Fengsheng, who did not want to get out of the car, didn't even look at them and went straight into the teahouse, leaving the siblings awkwardly standing there.

Qin Chaoyu did not follow, not because Ye Fengsheng did not agree to treat Qin Dong's leg, she simply did not ask. She stayed outside because Ning Jia's brother and sister were embarrassed at that time. To prevent them from having any negative comments about Ye Fengsheng, she decided to soothe their emotions first.

Of course, there were factors from Qin Kaihe's previous speeches.

But the more significant reason was, she genuinely believed Ye Fengsheng could handle things inside. If even Ye Fengsheng couldn't handle it, following them would not be any better.

Thus, with a massive crack in the middle of a loud bang, it stretched straight out from the teahouse's door, passing through the two women about to converse face to face.

Qin Chaoyu was startled and immediately asked Ning Yuyi, "Who are the people inside?"

Ning Yuyi's face turned a little, "I don't know, but Manager Zhang told me that at least three people went in with Master Zhu."

Qin Chaoyu was taken aback, "Three?"

"Possibly... three of them..."

Ning Ann seemed uncertain, saying, "There might be four people because there was still a guest who hadn't come out of the teahouse. I don't know if he might be with them."

Qin Chaoyu immediately questioned, "Why didn't you say so?"

Then looking at Ning Ann's embarrassed face, she could only frown, look up, and anxiously stare at the blurry figures inside the teahouse...

Ye Fengsheng slowly lowered his foot, standing by the crack, looking at the short, dark, thin man in front of him with indifferent eyes. Once inside the door, the crack under Ye's foot might have been that man's downfall ability.

"Are you Ye Fengsheng?"

The thin black man saw he easily dodged a punch; clearly knowing who arrived, he asked, "Did you snatch the Jade Marrow that he was going to give us from Chu Sen, and then he ran back?"

Ye Feng did not answer, just glanced around, searching corners that ordinary people wouldn't notice, and said, "Don't hide. Since you're here, you can show yourself."

Following the words of the thin black man whose eyes narrowed, two shadows swaggered out of hiding amid hearty laughter, standing confidently with the black man in the queue, boldly staring at the voice of leaves in front of them.

"Which gate did you run out from?"

The words carried a hint of mockery. Ye Fengsheng glanced at the three standing on the road and casually said, "Just the three of you dare to stand in front of me like a roadside tiger?"

Even without the ability to see heaven, Ye Fengsheng knew that the three had not entered the foundation-establishing threshold; they were in the realm of qi refining. New people had not fully mastered their spiritual spirit, worse than the autumn rhyme, entering halfway into building a foundational threshold. These types of characters dare to block your way?

At the same time, Ye Fengsheng heightened his vigilance in the dark, because he could be sure these people would never break through the Jade Marrow he carved on the shield and take people away.

As long as Song Nanfu and Xu Le disagree, Shield Battle will certainly begin. Even if founders came, they would waste some energy, not to mention these refining types, not to mention those ignorant of the little monks of heaven and earth.

Thinking of this, Ye Fengsheng felt a bit impatient, then opened his mouth and asked, "Honestly, where is Chu Sen now, and where are the people you brought back?"

"Ha!"

The thin black man sneered, "What kind of person are you? Dare to speak to grandpa like that. If you say grandpa's name, you dare not kneel and beg for mercy; dare to run wild here!"

This person named Zhou Yuansong was bossy from a young age. In fifteen years, he was already a disaster in the countryside. Later, he was taken back by the elders at the gate of Jiuzhen Palace to cultivate for several decades. Finally, he broke through the Cultivation Gate, becoming a monk in the temperament realm. How could his temper not be fiery?

I've also heard that Master Zhu, a beginner who was bullied by a scattered practice in the world, had his Jade Marrow robbed. Breaking through Hui Sect, how could he sit idle?

Such a good opportunity to display one's skills, not only to showcase strength but also to gain benefits in Chu Sen. Why not?

"Such a loud mouth!"
