Chapter 9 Unsettled Blood Feud!
- After a few moments of silence in the banquet hall, laughter erupted from everyone as if they had heard the funniest joke in the world.
- This individual, who was nothing more than a waste, must have believed that he was lucky enough to have lunch with those mysterious and powerful figures today, and that he had become extraordinary himself?
- What a ridiculous notion!
- He is still the abandoned son of the Han family in Yanjing, and the son-in-law of the Su family. His status will never change throughout his entire life.
- Who gave him the audacity to casually mention the Emperor's Merchant Association with such a dismissive tone?
- Just a few words, and he believes that Su Yingxue can join the Emperor's Merchant Association. It's simply absurd.
- Han Feng continued to laugh, "And also, do you really think those one hundred Martial Saints came for that so-called Hu Martial Saint? Does a mere Tiger List Martial Saint have such ability?"
- Hu Xiaoyun's eyes burned with anger, "Alright, you have quite the audacity. I want to see what you're capable of to earn a spot in the Emperor's Merchant Association. Don't come begging to me when the time comes!"
- "Han Feng, leave right now!" Su Madam couldn't bear it any longer and finally cursed.
- Some members of the Su family couldn't help but feel the urge to take action.
- In their eyes, Han Feng was simply too arrogant. If he truly offended Hu Xiaoyun, it would be a loss for all of them.
- "Han Feng, stop talking, let's go back." Su Yingxue said wearily.
- She didn't even know how things had escalated to this point. How would they be able to resolve this situation now?
- "Su Yingxue, did you hear what your husband just said? Do you think we can just pretend like nothing happened? Let me advise you, if you don't have the strength to earn a spot, then obediently go beg Hu Xiaoyun. Don't become a scapegoat for our Su family!" Su Lan sneered.
- "Don't worry, we'll go to the Emperor's Merchant Association tomorrow."
- Han Feng grabbed Su Yingxue and her sister, turned around, and walked away.
- "This guy is addicted to pretending. He doesn't even know his own limitations. Hu Xiaoyun, don't stoop to his level." Bai Mucity said disdainfully.
- Hu Xiaoyun waved his hand, "I don't even consider this attention-seeking person. Tomorrow, he'll know the consequences of offending me."
- As they left the venue, Su Yingxue exclaimed in frustration, "Han Feng, why did you make such a grandiose promise? How could we possibly obtain a spot in the Emperor's Merchant Association?"
- Han Feng hadn't figured out how to explain, but his sister Xia Ling'er quickly said, "Sister-in-law, you have to believe in my brother. He can definitely do it."
- Looking at Xia Ling'er, Su Yingxue's eyes filled with pity, and she couldn't continue scolding.
- Han Feng smiled and said, "You won't know the result if you don't try."
- Su Yingxue glared at Han Feng and sighed in distress, "Forget it, I'll go back and prepare the application materials. I'll try my luck tomorrow."
- No matter what, she couldn't submit to Hu Xiaoyun, and this was the only option left for her.
- But obviously, she didn't have any hope for it at all.
- "Then I'll take Ling'er home."
- Han Feng didn't say much either. Everything would be clear tomorrow.
- Not long after Su Yingxue left, a black and silver Rolls-Royce pulled up, and it was Yu Menghu.
- After stepping out of the car, Yu Menghu lowered his head like a child who had made a mistake.
- "Master Gu, Miss Ling'er!"
- He came to apologize.
- It was entirely his own doing that caused such a commotion.
- This went against Han Feng's orders.
- So much so that he didn't even dare to celebrate Han Feng's birthday just now.
- Han Feng kicked Yu Menghu's butt and laughed, "Get in the car and take Ling'er home!"
- After all, Yu Menghu had been with him since he was eight years old, and their relationship of many years was like siblings. Han Feng couldn't truly be angry about this matter.
- Xia Ling'er lived alone in a small courtyard in the suburbs of Jiang City, not because Su Yingxue or Su Yingxue's parents didn't want to live with Xia Ling'er, but because Xia Ling'er insisted on it.
- The courtyard wasn't large, but it was filled with flowers and plants, peaceful and comfortable, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, like a secluded paradise.
- Han Feng sat on a stone bench, took a sip of tea, and said, "Tiger, did the Emperor's Merchant Association reserve a spot in Jiang City this year?"
- The Emperor's Merchant Association, which countless business tycoons flocked to, was also founded by Guiguzi, and the head of the business sect, Yu Menghu, also served as the president!
- "Yes, Master Gu, what are your orders?" Yu Menghu replied.
- Han Feng smiled and said, "Tomorrow, Yingxue will go to the Emperor's Building to apply for a spot. You know what to do then."
- "Master Gu, rest assured, it's a simple matter. I will personally go tomorrow and make sure the spot is handed over to Lady Gu!" Yu Menghu patted his chest confidently.
- Xia Ling'er listened on the side and smiled.
- Just then.
- Han Feng suddenly put down his teacup and coughed a few times.
- "Valley Master!" Yu Menghu exclaimed in surprise.
- "Brother, the poison in your body is getting worse," Xia Linger also looked worried.
- Han Feng smiled and waved his hand, indicating that he was fine.
- Fate plays tricks on people.
- Three years ago, he was afflicted with the Yang Poison and came to Jiang City. Unexpectedly, he discovered that Su Yingxue possessed the extremely cold physique, which was one in a million.
- The extremely cold physique can neutralize the Yang Poison!
- However, it requires two people...
- And it also causes significant damage to Su Yingxue's body.
- This is one of the reasons why Han Feng has never revealed his true identity to Su Yingxue.
- Han Feng opened his left palm, and due to the invasion of the Yang Poison, a black meridian appeared, like a black worm, constantly growing and leading to his heart.
- When it spreads to the heart, Han Feng doesn't know what fate awaits him, whether it is life, death, or...
- He only knows that there is one thing he has yet to do before that.
- Accompanied by Han Feng's dark eyes, a cold light shot out, and the temperature around him seemed to drop suddenly.
- "When I was twelve years old, Guigu recruited one hundred thousand outer disciples. In order to elevate the Han family to a higher status, I made the resolute decision to bring my brother along with me. Over the course of ten years, I endured unimaginable hardships, defeated opponent after opponent, and ultimately distinguished myself to become the Valley Master of Guigu. However, upon my joyous and honorable return, I tragically discovered that my parents had been killed. If... if only I had returned half a month earlier..."
- At this moment, Han Feng's voice choked with emotion.
- Even as the Valley Master of Guigu, he cannot resurrect his parents.
- "Brother..." Xia Linger didn't know how to console him, so she could only cry alongside Han Feng and mourn their adoptive parents in heaven.
- A determined expression appeared on Han Feng's face, brimming with a vengeful intent, as he spoke each word with conviction.
- "One year from now, regardless of whether the Yang Poison is cured or not, I will return to the Han family and make them pay for their blood debt!"
