Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Chapter 582: A Momentary Change

Ye Fei and Bai Yingshi had reached a level of strength that ordinary martial artists could hardly imagine.

Running at full speed, the four of them moved like bolts of lightning across the mountains, heading toward the place where Bai Yingshi and her disciple usually rested.

Feeling the strong wind blowing so fiercely that it was almost impossible to keep their eyes open, Zhu Yuyan and Bai Youʼer were filled with astonishment. They werenʼt surprised by Bai Yingshiʼs speed, but they hadnʼt expected Ye Fei to be equally formidable.

At that moment, they began to believe that Bai Yingshiʼs earlier statement about not being Ye Feiʼs match wasnʼt just a dismissal of Lu Feng.

Carrying the two shocked women, Ye Fei and Bai Yingshi stopped almost simultaneously by a cave. Seeing this seemingly ordinary cave, Ye Fei felt a sudden connection. It reminded him of the cave in Changbai Mountain, the place where his relationship with his mother had undergone a profound transformation. He had deep memories of that place, and this cave gave off a similar vibe.

Could this also be a guardianʼs resting place? Ye Fei wondered, feeling even more curious. They had stayed in that cave for several days but hadnʼt seen anyone. Did that mean the guardian of Changbai Mountain had disappeared?

Ye Fei didnʼt know that the guardian of Changbai Mountain hadnʼt disappeared. They had left the mountain and were now searching for him. Shortly, he would face a situation that could either be a stroke of luck or a disaster. But thatʼs a story for another time.

After stopping, Bai Yingshi didnʼt give Ye Fei much time to think. After releasing her discipleʼs hand, she suddenly turned and launched a fierce attack on Ye Fei, her moves and techniques sharp and relentless.

Seeing this, Zhu Yuyanʼs face turned pale. Although she had started to believe Bai Yingshiʼs claim about not being Ye Feiʼs match after their earlier speed contest, she still couldnʼt be entirely sure. Bai Yingshi had been recognized as the number one martial artist for over a decade, so Zhu Yuyan couldnʼt help but feel extremely worried.

In contrast to his masterʼs anxiety, Ye Fei remained relaxed. He could tell that Bai Yingshi had no ill intentions toward him. Even if his strength were inferior to hers, she wouldnʼt truly harm him. With a laugh, he gently pushed his beloved master aside and turned to face Bai Yingshi.

Ye Fei and Bai Yingshi were undoubtedly the top martial artists of their time. As they clashed, the sheer force of their movements created gusts of wind that even Zhu Yuyan and Bai Youʼer, who were also top-tier experts, struggled to withstand. They had to retreat over twenty meters to find some relief.

While such a peak-level battle would be a valuable experience for any martial artist, Zhu Yuyan had no mind to appreciate it. Her heart was entirely focused on Ye Fei, her disciple who had initially confused her but whom she now deeply loved. Even though she saw he wasnʼt at a disadvantage, she couldnʼt help but feel anxious.

Bai Youʼerʼs emotions were more complicated. Due to her ”grudge” with Ye Fei, she hoped her master would teach him a lesson. Yet, for some reason, she also didnʼt want her master to hurt him too badly. She couldnʼt explain why she felt this way.

Perhaps because neither of them used lethal moves, the battle between Ye Fei and Bai Yingshi lasted a full two hours before they both stopped simultaneously.

”Sister Baiʼs martial skills are truly impressive. I admit Iʼm no match,” Ye Fei said with a smile, subtly using a more familiar form of address to bring himself closer to Bai Yingshi.

Bai Yingshi didnʼt mind this. She smiled faintly and said, ”But I still lost.” With that smile, her demeanor underwent a dramatic change. Previously, she had been saintly and untouchable, but now she seemed more like a friendly older sister.

Although it was just a fleeting moment, it made Ye Feiʼs heart race. While her previous demeanor had been captivating and filled him with a desire to conquer her, this momentary change made her feel more approachable. He wondered if this expression was just a one-time thing or a glimpse of her true nature.

”Master, his skills arenʼt as good as yours. Why do you say you lost?” Bai Youʼer asked, confused. While she didnʼt want her master to hurt Ye Fei, she also didnʼt want to see her master lose to him.

”Letʼs go inside to talk,” Bai Yingshi said calmly, gesturing for Ye Fei and Zhu Yuyan to enter the cave.

Ye Fei smiled, holding his masterʼs hand as he followed Bai Yingshi and her disciple into the cave. Though it might have seemed odd for them to hold hands while not in a hurry, neither Bai Yingshi nor Bai Youʼer paid it any mind.

Bai Youʼer was eager to know the answer, while Bai Yingshi simply didnʼt care much about matters of love and affection.

”Master, tell me!” Bai Youʼer urged as soon as they sat down inside the cave. She was quite dissatisfied with the idea of her master losing to Ye Fei, and her reaction revealed another side of her.

Despite her usual cold exterior, she was still a young woman in her twenties, and she couldnʼt help but act coquettishly with the master who had raised her.

Bai Yingshi nodded at Zhu Yuyan, who also looked puzzled, and then explained, ”During the fight, I found 237 flaws in his technique, but he only found one in mine. Thatʼs why I said my skills are superior.”

”But if thatʼs the case, why did you say you lost?” Bai Youʼer asked, still confused. Zhu Yuyan shared the same question. Although both women were top-tier experts, the fight had been too fast for them to fully grasp what had happened.

”Even though I found so many flaws, his speed and strength were too overwhelming for me to exploit them. The one flaw he found in me, however, was fatal,” Bai Yingshi explained calmly, showing no sign of frustration at losing to a younger generation martial artist.

Only then did the two women understand what had happened. They looked at Ye Fei with astonishment.

As the guardian of Tianshan, Bai Yingshiʼs power should have been unmatched in these mountains. Yet Ye Fei had overpowered her with sheer strength. Just how strong was he?
