The Strongest Urban Son-in-law

Chapter 499: Chapter 508: Zhang Qing [First Update]

Ye Feng and Miss Han Yi simultaneously turned and looked behind them to see three men dressed in Taoist robes approaching them. Ye Feng instantly recognized that the three were martial artists, their Blood Qi far exceeding that of the average person.

The youngest of the three men in Taoist robes appeared to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight, but considering he was a martial artist, his actual age was certainly seven or eight years older.

The other two middle-aged men emitted extremely strong Blood Qi, which was quite substantial. Ye Feng easily judged that these two were not ordinary Grandmasters.

One was at the Innate Peak of cultivation, while the other had reached the state of Innate Perfection.

Upon seeing the young Taoist, Han Yi’s face revealed a look of confusion, ”Zhang Qing, what are you doing here?”

Zhang Qing responded with a slight smile, ”We received an assignment, so we came here to check it out. As for you, Miss Han Yi, it’s been a long time. You’re here to enjoy the flowers, right?”

Han Yi nodded and said helplessly, ”Yes, I originally planned to come here to enjoy the flowers, but they say they are closed, mentioning some danger and refusing to let us in.”

Zhang Qing nodded and then addressed the gatekeeper, ”Master, they are my friends. Let them join us in entering.”

Hearing Zhang Qing’s words, the gatekeeper frowned and replied, ”Little master, are you sure you can take them inside? The thing inside is not easy to deal with!”

Zhang Qing smiled confidently, ”It’s okay, trust us. With my two masters here, there won’t be any problems.”

”Well, if the young master guarantees it, then let them in,” agreed the gatekeeper.

Hearing they could enter, Han Yi’s face lit up with gratitude, ”Zhang Qing, thank you. I thought we were going to be disappointed today.”

Zhang Qing shook his head, ”It’s nothing. But I must say, once we get in, you can enjoy the flowers, as long as you stick close to us and don’t wander out of our sight, understand?”

Han Yi nodded, ”Okay, I got it.”

At that moment, Zhang Qing turned to Ye Feng and asked, ”Han Yi, who is this? Won’t you introduce us?”

Han Yi replied, ”I forgot to introduce him. This is my friend, Ye Feng. He came with me to the Hundred Flower Garden today to admire the flowers.”

”Oh?” Surprise flashed through Zhang Qing’s eyes as he sized up Ye Feng.

Zhang Qing knew that he had once asked Han Yi out for dinner and to enjoy the flowers, but she had always declined, and he was aware that the young talents of Longdu often invited Han Yi, yet she never accepted anyone’s invitation to go out.

Zhang Qing felt slightly better about this knowledge, but today Han Yi was unexpectedly on a date alone with a man, which took him by surprise.

As Zhang Qing scrutinized Ye Feng, he noticed that aside from being reasonably handsome and elegant, Ye Feng didn’t seem to have anything special about him. A look of disdain crept into his eyes. Zhang Qing couldn’t understand why Han Yi would go out alone with someone like Ye Feng.

Han Yi looked at Ye Feng with a smile, ”Ye Feng, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Zhang Qing, the Chief Disciple of Wendao Sect. Despite his young age, he is already a martial artist of Great Perfection in Inner Strength, proficient in geomancy, and actually helped arrange the feng shui of our house.”

Ye Feng nodded and then extended his hand in a polite greeting, ”Hello.”

The Wendao Sect was also considered a martial artist cultivation sect in Dragon Country, similar to Dragon and Tiger Mountain. Wendao Sect enjoyed a good reputation in Dragon Country, most notably because the previous Sect Leader, Ye Haoran, had spent five years in the Southern Border battle zone and repelled many Evil Wizards from the border countries.

Wendao Sect’s techniques were specifically designed to counteract the dark arts of Evil Wizards. Encounters with corrupt magicians were common in the Southern Border, so disciples of the Wendao Sect often went to the Southern Border battle zone for experience. Therefore, Ye Feng always had a good impression of the Wendao Sect.

Now, Ye Feng was taking the initiative to be friendly. Had it been anyone else, Ye Feng might not have been so proactive.

However, Zhang Qing didn’t even glance at Ye Feng, let alone shake his hand and turned his body to say, ”Alright, it’s getting late. Let’s head inside. My two masters are waiting for us!”

Seeing Zhang Qing’s attitude, Ye Feng frowned, and even Han Yi felt a moment of embarrassment, but there was nothing she could say.

Of course, Ye Feng wasn’t going to bicker with Zhang Qing.

And so, the group entered the Hundred Flower Garden. As soon as they stepped inside, Ye Feng and Han Yi were captivated by the sight of myriad blooming flowers—chrysanthemums, osmanthus, as far as the eye could see.

The rich and fresh fragrance was floating in the air, creating a heavenly atmosphere, making this place a secluded paradise. Breathing in the air filled with the scent of earth was invigorating to the spirit.

Ye Feng’s mood settled as well, feeling refreshed and delighted.

”Indeed, it’s a wonderful place. No wonder you like coming here,” Ye Feng nodded in approval.

Han Yi smiled happily, ”I told you, if we didn’t come in today, we would have missed out! This is nothing yet; wait until we reach the top of the mountain. There’s a Flower Viewing Platform where you can see the entire landscape of the Hundred Flower Garden. Only then will you truly feel that today’s trip was worthwhile!”

Ye Feng nodded, ”You’ve got me looking forward to it now.”

Ye Feng and Han Yi walked leisurely, enjoying the surrounding scenery and chatting merrily.

Meanwhile, Zhang Qing frowned, his eyes filled with unmistakable jealousy. This was the first time he had seen Han Yi so passionate with a man. Typically, Han Yi was not cold toward men, but she never got too enthusiastic and always maintained a suitable distance, as if there was an invisible barrier—one that was palpable but untouchable, masterfully upheld.
