Chapter 973: Chapter 971: Heading to Tianyin Sect

”Ziyun!”

A friendly call suddenly broke the silence, as a man in his thirties wearing a designer suit, his hair slicked back and shining, appeared on the scene. His gaze fixed steadily on Sunx Ziyun, and a sly-looking young girl accompanied him.

”Hua An, what are you doing here?”

Sunx Ziyun spoke, eyeing Hua An, clearly recognizing the man as the brother of the Patriarch of the Hua Family who had been pestering her.

”I...”

”It’s pretty obvious, isn’t it? Brother Hua is here to dine with his lady, just like us!”

Xiao Yifeng said with a light chuckle.

”Kid, who are you? Don’t spout nonsense. She is my secretary, and we came here to discuss work over a meal.”

Hua An’s eyes fastened on Xiao Yifeng, and he quickly added some distance between himself and the woman by his side.

”And what was that you just said, that Ziyun is your woman?”

Hua An, recalling Xiao Yifeng’s earlier words, stared intently at him.

Xiao Yifeng was about to respond, when Sunx Ziyun’s glare stopped him.

”Hua An, he is a friend of mine and was talking nonsense. However, as for what’s between you and this lady here, we both know the truth. I want to make it clear to you.”

”I’m not interested in you now, and I won’t be in the future. You are simply not my type. So, if you’re looking for a woman, look no further than the one beside you, and please stop bothering me. You may go now; I need to finish my meal.”

Sunx Ziyun’s reply was crisp, decisive, and firm.

Hua An, stung by her words, had a sour expression and was left speechless. He shot Xiao Yifeng a deep, significant look before walking away with the woman at his side.

”Babe...”

”Don’t use that term for me in public. I’ve told you before, our relationship absolutely cannot be known by anyone, or else you can say goodbye to being with me.”

Sunx Ziyun’s gaze was stern as she spoke to Xiao Yifeng.

”Are you afraid of something?”

Xiao Yifeng asked, perplexed.

”The nature of our relationship isn’t suitable for public disclosure. It doesn’t matter if you don’t care, but I must value the dignity of the Sunx Family and Sunx’s reputation. At least for now, it should stay hidden. We’ll talk about it some other time.”

Sunx Ziyun explained to Xiao Yifeng.

”Got it.”

Xiao Yifeng nodded in understanding.

After spending a little over an hour dining, the two parted ways, and Xiao Han’s call came in.

”Hello, what’s up, Third Uncle?”

Xiao Yifeng asked on the phone.

”The Wu Family has just released a statement. From today onwards, whoever associates with you closely will be treated as an enemy of the Wu Family and will be suppressed thoroughly.”

”Moreover, the Wu Family has spread word that Wu Fei has an older brother named Wuu Tiaan, who is allegedly the disciple of the Sect Master of the Sect of Fiery Separation, a first-class power in the Martial Arts World. With this news out, the major forces in Yanjing now fear the Wu Family even more.”

Xiao Han informed him.

”I know of this Wuu Tiaan. I’ve crossed hands with him before. It seems the Wu Family is getting restless with Wuu Tiaan’s emergence!”

Xiao Yifeng snorted coldly.

”Little Feng, you need to keep cool. The Sect of Fiery Separation’s influence is immense, even stronger than the Tian Sect, and Wuu Tiaan, as a disciple of the Sect Master, holds an even higher status. If a conflict with him arises and he gets hurt, the Sect of Fiery Separation will retaliate, and not even Dragon Soul may be able to protect you.”

Xiao Han’s voice was filled with gravity.

”Rest assured, Third Uncle. I, Xiao Yifeng, am not so easily killed. They’d need the skill to take me down.”

Xiao Yifeng responded disdainfully.

Meanwhile, at the Xiao Family residence, Xiao Yiyun, who hadn’t returned all night, got back, but he seemed somewhat different than before. His complexion was dark, a hint of a sinister look in his eyes, and he radiated a cold, somber aura.

”Yi Yun, what were you doing last night? Didn’t come home all night?”

Xiao Ding and Situ Yan appeared in front of Xiao Yiyun, their eyes filled with urgent expressions.

”I got drunk and slept outside.”

Xiao Yifeng said indifferently.

”Yi Yun, you need to pull yourself together. One failure doesn’t mean anything. In mom’s eyes, you will always be stronger than that bastard!”

Situ Yan said to Xiao Yiyun.

”Mom, don’t worry. It won’t be long before I wash away the previous shame and thoroughly trample him under my feet.”

A confident look flashed in Xiao Yiyun’s eyes, and a black light flickered in his pupils before he left abruptly.

”Yan’er, why do I feel something isn’t quite right with Yi Yun? Has something happened to him?”

Xiao Ding said gravely, his gaze flickering.

”I felt it too, but it should be nothing. Do you think Yi Yun looks like he’s in trouble? He’s probably just in a bad mood because he lost to that bastard, and it’s affecting him. He just needs some time to recover.”

Situ Yan shook her head as she spoke.

In the afternoon, Xiao Yifeng was staying in Xiangxie Garden, considering going back to Tianhai, when someone came to his villa—it was Gu Qingcheng.

”Qingcheng, what brings you here?”

Xiao Yifeng looked at Gu Qingcheng, a look of confusion flickering in his eyes.

”I returned from Cang Mountain back home, but today I received news that my master is going to personally cripple Senior Sister Ji’s cultivation and meridians at Tianyin Sect tomorrow—turning her into a cripple, gouging out her eyes, and ultimately throwing her into the dark dungeons of Tianyin Sect.”

Gu Qingcheng said.

”What? That cruel?”

Xiao Yifeng’s expression changed, a look of shock flashing in his eyes.

”That’s right, that’s why I came to see if there’s a way to save Senior Sister Ji just once!”

Gu Qingcheng said with a serious tone.

”No need to think of a plan, just take me to Tianyin Sect, I’ll rescue Ji Sanniang.”

Xiao Yifeng said directly.

”Little guy, have you gone mad? Rescuing someone from Tianyin Sect? Tianyin Sect is a top force in the Martial Arts World, teeming with strong experts. With your strength, if you stir up trouble at Tianyin Sect, you’ll be dead in minutes!”

Bai Yulian, who was nearby, said to Xiao Yifeng.

”That’s right, a brute-force rescue won’t work, it will only anger my master and result in death for nothing!”

Gu Qingcheng nodded in agreement.

”I won’t force my way in, I’ll go talk to your master, and exchange something with her.”

A sharp light flickered in Xiao Yifeng’s eyes.

”Exchange something, will that work? I’m afraid my master won’t agree.”

Gu Qingcheng looked at Xiao Yifeng.

”Whether it will work or not, we won’t know until we try. Take me to Tianyin Sect, I’ll handle the rest.”

Xiao Yifeng said.

”Alright then!”

Gu Qingcheng said.

”If you’re going to Tianyin Sect, take me with you, maybe I can help.”

Bai Yulian looked at Xiao Yifeng.

”No need, if a real fight breaks out, with your ability, you won’t be enough. You and your sister just stay here, and wait for me to come back and take you to Tianhai, then you can see Shu Qian.”

Xiao Yifeng said to Bai Yulian, then instructed Tian Tu and Jian Yun, and followed Gu Qingcheng to leave.
