Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

In the main hall, two middle-aged men sat in the seats of honor.

The man on the left, dressed in a dark blue robe with a jade belt around his waist, had a resolute face and well-defined features.

It was Ye Feng's father, Ye Tianying, whose cultivation was at the peak of the early Golden Core stage.

However, at this moment, Ye Tianying's face was full of ingratiating expressions.

Behind him stood a girl in a light blue dress, Ye Qing'er.

Ye Qing'er had delicate features and a beautiful face.

But the girl was looking down, her phoenix eyes filled with mist.

Ye Tianying held a wine glass in his hand, and said with a smile on his face, "Brother Zeng, it's not that I don't want to give you the goods, it's just that..."

"My suppliers suddenly couldn't deliver on time for some reason."

"Please be generous and give me two more days, considering our friendship over the years."

The man beside him still looked calm and composed.

The man was wearing a blue robe embroidered with golden silk dragons and had a slightly chubby figure.

He had a bulbous nose, thick lips, and shrewdness between his eyebrows.

He crossed his legs and leaned back in his chair, casually turning the wine glass on the table without any intention of picking it up.

The man's name was Zeng Shuheng, the head of the Zeng family, who also dealt in medicinal herbs and spiritual plants.

Zeng Shuheng himself was also a Golden Core middle-stage cultivator, with considerable strength.

"Old Ye, it's not that I don't want to give you an extension, but this batch of goods is supplied to a major sect!"

"You also know that dealing with sects is quite troublesome; they only care about the result."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have signed a hundredfold breach of contract clause with you because I value this deal."

"Moreover, this deal has such a large supply volume. If our two families weren't on good terms, I wouldn't have asked you to make up the other half."

"If this deal is successful, you and I both know how much we can earn."

Speaking of this, Zeng Shuheng paused slightly, and Ye Tianying's forehead was covered with cold sweat.

How could he not know that he would earn a lot if this deal was successful?

But he couldn't mobilize so many goods now!

Once he breached the contract and compensated...

The entire Ye family would be emptied, and other families with business dealings would terminate their contracts one after another.

The Ye family would instantly fall into an abyss.

Before Ye Tianying could speak, Zeng Shuheng continued, "There are only three days left until the delivery date, and my goods are ready."

"I'm just short of your half. Old Ye, tell me, what should I do?"

Ye Tianying's face changed repeatedly, and he had begged humbly countless times.

But Zeng Shuheng seemed determined not to budge, insisting on the contract and on-time delivery!

Just then, a figure rushed in from outside the door.

Ye Tianying frowned and looked at Ye Feng who had arrived, saying, "When did you come back... Wait!"

"You've established your foundation?"

After saying that, Ye Tianying showed a hint of imperceptible brilliance and joy.

He beckoned to Ye Feng and said softly, "Come and sit down first."

This time it was Ye Feng's turn to be stunned. His relationship with Ye Tianying used to be very bad.

In situations like this today, he would only be qualified to stand aside, but now the atmosphere in the hall was so heavy, and Ye Tianying actually asked him to sit in the lower seat.

Then Li Guanqi also appeared at the door, and Ye Feng said softly, "This is my friend."

Ye Tianying nodded slightly when he saw this, indicating that Li Guanqi should also sit down.

Ye Feng frowned slightly and didn't speak, leading Li Guanqi straight to the lower seat, nodded slightly to Ye Qing'er.

Zeng Shuheng's eyes flashed with a fierce look, and he chuckled softly, "I didn't expect your third son to have established his foundation. Congratulations, congratulations."

After speaking, the man was about to get up and leave.

Suddenly!

Bang!

Ye Tianying slammed the wine glass heavily on the table, smashing it to pieces.

There was no longer the previous humbleness between his brows, replaced by a calm look.

Zeng Shuheng turned around slowly, sneering, "What? Breaking a glass with me?"

Ye Tianying also stood up at this time, staring at the other party with his eyes, sneering.

"Hehe, since you've already made up your mind, why bother pretending!"

"Zeng Shuheng, let's just put everything on the table."

"I, Ye Tianying, have done enough of this groveling act for so many days."

"What exactly does your Zeng family want? Just say it!"

Zeng Shuheng's face twitched, glanced at the girl standing behind Ye Feng, and chuckled softly.

"Old Ye, it's not that I'm criticizing you, but why are you so angry?"

"Isn't it just some compensation and goods? It's easy to solve."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Tianying's heart suddenly tightened. He felt that the other party must have bad intentions!

Sure enough…

Zeng Shuheng said with a smile, "I think Qing'er is almost fourteen years old this year, and she's already a big girl."

"She and my son Zeng Yuan are also very well-matched. Why don't we become in-laws?"

"Two families become one family, and this matter will naturally be nothing."

Looking at Zeng Shuheng's smiling face, Ye Tianying felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

When Ye Feng heard that it was Zeng Yuan, he was immediately furious and stood up, shouting angrily, "You're dreaming!!"

"I'm telling you, anyone can marry my sister, but Zeng Yuan is the only one who can't!!"

Ye Feng, who spoke out fiercely, had his chest heaving violently. He had long heard about Zeng Yuan's character.

He was an incompetent playboy who relied on the power of his clan to do evil, and he had done more than once the act of forcibly robbing women.

Very few women who could walk out of the Zeng family alive. In the end, they would be given some money to settle the matter.

Therefore, when the Great Xia Sword Sect killed that outer disciple, Ye Feng felt very happy!

He had known Zeng Yuan since he was a child. He was a very cold-blooded guy in his heart.

He also had a morbid obsession with women.

Zeng Shuheng snorted coldly, and a terrifying pressure instantly fell on Ye Feng!

Boom!!

In just a short moment, the chair under Ye Feng shattered, and his whole body was suppressed on the ground by that pressure, unable to move.

The man narrowed his eyes, revealing a sinister look, glanced at Ye Feng on the ground, and sneered, "A little brat who has barely established his foundation dares to yell at me."

"Ye Tianying, I don't think your family education is very strict? Do you want me to discipline him for you?"

At the same time, Li Guanqi instantly drew his long sword, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes as his Yuan power surged.

His whole body tensed up, and the bluestone bricks under his feet suddenly cracked!

Pinching a seal with his left hand and holding a sword in his right!

The sky above the manor suddenly changed, and dark clouds covered the sky with occasional thunder rumbling!!

Boom!!

Another aura soared into the sky, Ye Tianying stood in front of Ye Feng, and stopped Li Guanqi with his hand.

He suddenly drew the long sword from his waist, pointing the sword at the other party!

Clang!!

Ye Tianying pointed the sword in his hand directly at Zeng Shuheng's face, sneering, "Try disciplining him?"

"I gave you face by calling you Brother Zeng. Are you taking your Zeng family too seriously?"

"If you hadn't stepped on dog shit and broken through to the Golden Core realm, and obtained a thousand-year-old Six Armor Purple Ginseng to break through to the middle stage of the Golden Core,"

"Your Zeng family wouldn't even be considered a noble family. In my eyes, your Zeng family is just a nouveau riche."

Zeng Shuheng's cheeks twitched slightly. After he gained power, the thing he hated most was people calling him a nouveau riche!

A cold light flashed in his eyes, and Zeng Shuheng sneered.

"The choice has already been told to you, three days later."

"Either give me the goods, or compensate until your Ye family never recovers!"

"Humph!"

Zeng Shuheng waved his sleeves and left the Ye family angrily!

Li Guanqi put down his sword and helped Ye Feng up.

Ye Tianying took a deep look at Li Guanqi and said softly, "Feng'er, take Qing'er back first, and let your friend wander around the manor."

"Then come to my study."

Then Ye Tianying smiled slightly at Li Guanqi and said softly, "Don't be estranged, just treat this place as your own home."

Li Guanqi bowed respectfully.

But he felt that the man in front of him was not the kind of father Ye Feng described.

Judging from the murderous intent Ye Tianying showed after drawing his sword, Ye Tianying definitely cared about Ye Feng and Ye Qing'er!

Ye Feng was also shaken at this time. The father he saw today was very different from the father in his impression.
