The Strongest Urban Son-in-law

Chapter 1078 - 1095: The Truth [Update 1]

"Is it because of Li Jiuling?" Everyone looked at Li Jiuling in shock, the middle-aged man with the crew cut and Meng both wore expressions of confusion.

However, Bai Yunzi’s body suddenly trembled, and he seemed to have realized something. His entire demeanor changed to one of enlightenment: "So it was him! So it was him, I was really foolish, I was truly frightened by you earlier, and I didn’t even think of that!"

At this moment, Bai Yunzi looked at Li Jiuling and knew exactly how Ye Feng and his team had been cheating.

But Meng and the middle-aged man with the crew cut still didn’t understand how Ye Feng had accomplished it.

Ye Feng said calmly, "That’s right, because the person playing the cards wasn’t me, it was Li Jiuling. I put my hand behind my back, and he immediately used True Essence to accurately throw the card onto the table, while you thought that the True Essence surrounding the card was mine."

"When you asked me if I would play the Emperor, I indeed intended to, so you played the Commoner, and then Li Jiuling played the Noble card, thus you were destined to lose because your Mind Reading Technique questioned me, but I wasn’t the one playing the card!"

"So that’s how it is!" The middle-aged man with the crew cut was agitated. They had always thought that Ye Feng had held the card behind him, chosen it, and then used True Essence to throw it onto the table.

But in reality, the True Essence wasn’t Ye Feng’s, and the person playing the card wasn’t Ye Feng either, but Li Jiuling.

When Bai Yunzi asked Ye Feng if he was going to play the Noble card, the Mind Reading Technique received the answer ’yes’, so Bai Yunzi surely played the Emperor. Li Jiuling then used his own True Essence to enwrap the card in Ye Feng’s hand, threw the Commoner card onto the table, and that’s why Ye Feng and his team were certain to win. This is why, despite using the Mind Reading Technique, Bai Yunzi still lost.

After understanding everything, the middle-aged man with the crew cut developed admiration for Ye Feng; he hadn’t expected that Ye Feng could go this far. If it were him, he would have already been panicking, probably despairing by now.

Yet Ye Feng managed to stay calm and come up with a strategy, successfully defeating Bai Yunzi.

Bai Yunzi shook his head in resignation, "It seems my loss isn’t unjust. You designed all of this step by step. First, you raised the stakes twice, shaking my confidence, making me think that I lost to you the second time because of my own wavering heart, and thus made mistakes. Had I thought it through and stayed a bit calmer,

I certainly could have realized the person playing the card wasn’t you, but you guided me step by step, lured me into thinking that I erred due to my own doubts, and I never figured out how you were cheating."

At this point, Bai Yunzi already admitted his loss, and excitement showed in Li Jiuling’s eyes.

Only now did Li Jiuling realize that following Ye Feng, becoming Ye Feng’s subordinate, might not necessarily be a bad thing.

At a young age, Ye Feng already possessed such powerful skills, and not only that, but even when faced with near-certain defeat, he could still calmly analyze and find a way to victory. His mental fortitude and strength were truly not comparable to ordinary people.

Bai Yunzi directly unlocked the shackles on the middle-aged man with the crew cut. "According to the agreement with Ye Feng, since I lost, you have regained your freedom and can now enter the Martial Arts World with them."

Seeing his shackles being removed, the middle-aged man’s eyes filled with excitement.

He hadn’t expected to be saved by Ye Feng, and his eyes were filled with gratitude, "Thank you, little brother, for saving me. I, Liu, will definitely remember this kindness and will never forget it!"

Ye Feng shook his head slightly, "No need, it was just a convenient act for me..."

Bai Yunzi said with a hint of resignation, "Alright, since you’ve won against me, I’ll open the formation to let you enter the Martial Arts World. Come with me..."

After speaking, Bai Yunzi led Ye Feng, Li Jiuling, the middle-aged man, and Meng out of the grass hut together.

A short time later, Ye Feng and his party arrived at the foot of the mountain and walked onto the beach of the hidden island.

There, on the beach, stood seven very ancient stone pillars. Embedded in the stone pillars were Spirit Stones overflowing with Spiritual Energy, each of a quality at least of the highest grade.

At this moment, Bai Yunzi removed the Jade Pendant he always wore from his chest.

Bai Yunzi approached the seven stone pillars and then embedded the Jade Pendant into a groove on one of the pillars. He then infused his True Essence into the pendant, causing the seven pillars to tremble instantly.

"Boom~~" Suddenly, the sea started surging, the earth began trembling, and the winds roared and clouds churned.

The seven stone pillars simultaneously erupted with a beam of light, which converged into a laser that charged directly toward the sea, instantly splitting it in two.

The laser carved out a long path across the sea, and at the end of the path, Ye Feng and his companions could faintly see a massive island, or rather, a continent. This continent was isolated from the world, separated by a barrier formation, just under ten miles from the island, which would have been easily discovered if not for the formation.

At this moment, Bai Yunzi said, "This passage only allows one person to cross at a time. Those with higher cultivation should go first, as they will take less time to cross and can assist you on the other side."

Upon hearing Bai Yunzi’s words, Ye Feng had no objections. Li Jiuling looked at Ye Feng and said, "Mr. Ye, I’ll go first and wait for you on the other side!"

Ye Feng nodded, and then Li Jiuling headed towards the sea.

After Li Jiuling crossed, the seawater began to close in again, and before long, Li Jiuling’s figure disappeared from sight. Soon, ten minutes passed.

And once more, the sea opened back up, with the path reemerging as the seven stone pillars erupted again, splitting the seawater apart. Bai Yunzi said, "The path is open again. Li Jiuling has successfully crossed. Ye Feng, it’s your turn; quickly go, don’t waste the power of the formation!"

However, Ye Feng remained where he was, not moving...
