Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law

The Yin Family Manor was massive, with a bustling front courtyard teeming with guests.

As soon as Ye Feng entered, he immediately noticed that there were people lurking in the shadows in several corners, watching him. He smiled faintly and couldn't be bothered with these clowns.

No one came over to strike up a conversation. Cui Hao and representatives from a few of the other great families were taken aback when they saw him, as they had not expected Ye Feng to attend the event.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Deputy Head of the Cui Family, could it be that this youngster with the surname Ye has already colluded with the Yin Family? The rumor put out by the Yin Family previously said they could remove Gu and Poison, could it be referring to this Mad Son-in-law of the Hong Family?" a person in charge from a third-rate family asked in a low voice.

"If that's really the case, we'll truly be at a disadvantage," a representative of the Yan Family said through gritted teeth.

Cui Hao, holding a cup of wine, declined the guests who came to toast him and after scrutinizing for a moment, hummed coldly, "Impossible, this lad surnamed Ye, after coming in, there was no one from the Yin Family toasting him, nor was there any company of significant figures from the Yin Family."

"So obviously, this kid surnamed Ye is not familiar with the Yin Family!"

"That's right, Deputy Head Cui's analysis is spot on. With this peace of mind, as long as this youngster doesn't join hands with the Yin Family, we will have no need for further worries."

Cui Hao raised an eyebrow and said, "I'm afraid things aren't that simple. This youngster surnamed Ye, a prominent scion of the Imperial Capital Nobility, if he isn't close to the Yin Family, why would he come to the birthday celebration without any reason? Everyone be cautious and refrain from acting recklessly!"

Representatives from seven or eight families nodded slightly, signaling their agreement.

Ye Feng sat in a corner, leisurely burying his head in the feast as if he truly came just to celebrate.

Pang Youze and Luo Keque sat in silence beside him, but in their hearts, they were puzzled. After all, Mr. Ye, who had presented a clock to the Elder Patriarch of the Yin Family, clearly came to provoke them, but now he seemed to be acting as if nothing was wrong, an enigma they couldn't unravel.

Ye Feng did not rush to make a move, at least not until the disciples of the Gu&Poison Sect appeared.

Yin Family's young scion, Yin Junde, though constantly conversing with guests, kept his gaze firmly fixed on Ye Feng, his eyes often revealing a sinister glint.

As one of the Four Great Families of Southern River Region Jiangnan with immense power, the audacity of someone daring to present a clock during the old man's 70th birthday banquet was nothing short of provocative for the Yin Family. If he hadn't been concerned about the family's reputation, he would have acted already.

"You damned fool, continue eating all you want. Once the birthday feast ends and most of the guests have left, I will make sure you spit it all out, with interest!" Yin Junde thought angrily to himself.

Hong Qingyan also seemed to sense that something was off in the atmosphere and felt as though there were eyes on her back. After a moment of thought, she said, "Big Brother Ye, I have a feeling that there's something strange about the atmosphere of this banquet. Should we leave now?"

Ye Feng chuckled, "The Yin Family, as one of the Four Great Families of Southern River Region Jiangnan, offers such a wide array of rare delicacies, all for free. Wouldn't it be a shame to not eat our fill here and make the Yin Family pay for it?"

Hong Qingyan laughed wryly, "I'm not one for freeloading, and besides, something does feel off, so I don't really have much of an appetite."

Ye Feng was about to respond with a smile, but at that moment, two tall and lean figures clad in black and with their faces covered by black veils walked out, accompanied by Yin Songping.

"Here they come, the aura is unmistakable, it's definitely the Gu&Poison Sect!" Ye Feng's eyes narrowed slightly.

Hong Qingyan probably also knew that Ye Feng wouldn't attend someone else's birthday banquet without a reason, so she sensibly remained silent at this moment.

Today, Yin Songping beamed with joy, guiding the two black-clad figures swiftly to where Cui Hao and representatives of the other great families were seated.

"Come, Brother Cui, allow me to introduce these two masters to you," said Yin Songping with a smile.

Cui Hao and the others got up, took a look at the oddly dressed, tall, and lean figures, and couldn't help asking, "May I ask, Patriarch Yin, who are these two?"

Yin Songping laughed heartily, "I heard that Cui Yan and several other family personages have been afflicted by a strange Gu and Poison. It so happens that I am acquainted with a couple of masters in this field, so three days ago, I used various connections, and managed to finally get in touch with these two masters."

"As soon as the masters received my message, they immediately rushed over from the Western Region. They only arrived today, so I thought it fitting to introduce them to you all during my father's birthday banquet."

The person in charge of the Yan Family, upon hearing this, said with great joy, "So, it's true what the outside world has been saying; the Yin Family really has a way to remove Gu and Poison? If that's the case, it's wonderful news, my big brother is saved!"

Yin Songping laughed heartily and said, "Honestly, I did not spread those rumors these past few days; after all, I wasn't sure whether these two masters could make time to come."

"Then how did the rumors get out?" Cui Hao asked.

"It was my butler, the old fool was too anxious to treat our family heads and accidentally let it slip. Afterwards, I thought it best not to speak of it, as I couldn't guarantee the masters' arrival, to prevent getting everyone's hopes up unnecessarily!"

Yin Songping, saying this, clasped his hands together and apologized, "I am truly sorry; it is my fault for not managing my household strictly. I hope you won't take offense."

"So that's how it is; how could we take offense? Elder Patriarch Yin has always been prudent in his actions; of course, we understand," several family representatives said one after another.

Even though they were quite a distance apart, Ye Feng heard every single word of their conversation clearly and couldn't help but snort with laughter.

Some so-called masters from the Western Region, Yin Songping really knew how to put on a show, leading Cui Hao and the others around in circles.

Pity that Cui Hao and the others were in the dark, even treating Yin Songping as a savior; probably not much longer before they wouldn't be able to laugh anymore.

"Oh, I was so preoccupied with talking, I forgot to introduce them. These two, on the left is Master Mo, and on the right is Grandmaster Li, both from the Western Region. It is their custom there to slightly cover their faces, so I hope you won't take offense," Yin Songping said with a smile.

"Greetings to the two masters!" Cui Hao extended his hand and immediately asked, "Masters, do you truly have a way to remove Gu and Poison?"

The one on the left, Master Mo, scoffed and said, "It is merely Gu and Poison. We are disciples under the Infinite Divine Doctor of the Great Hanging Cave of the Western Region. Naturally, removing such a trivial Gu and Poison is nothing for us!"

Pfft...

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng almost spit out the wine he had sipped.

Stay tuned to empire

These disciples of the Gu&Poison Sect really knew how to bluff. The Infinite Divine Doctor of the Great Hanging Cave of the Western Region?

With such a domineering title, no wonder they easily fooled Cui Hao and the others.

"That's wonderful, the masters truly have a solution—our family head is saved!" the representative of the Yan Family exclaimed with ecstasy.

Cui Hao nodded emphatically, "Then we shall trouble the two masters to take action. Rest assured, as for the terms, you just name them."

The representative of the Yan Family said, "Exactly, no matter the cost, just state your price, masters."

The two Gu&Poison Sect disciples smiled faintly but did not immediately state their demands.

Seeing this, Yin Songping suggested, "This place has too many people, too many ears. How about everyone finishes the birthday banquet first, then we proceed to the Inner Courtyard to discuss in detail afterwards?"

The representative of the Yan Family said, "Elder Patriarch Yin, this matter concerns a human life; how can we have the mood for a birthday banquet? Let's go directly to the Inner Courtyard, finalize the discussion, and then invite the masters to start the treatment right away."

Cui Hao also said, "Indeed, it's not that we wish to be abrupt, but the situation of several family heads cannot afford further delay."

Yin Songping responded, "If that's the case, then let us go to the Inner Courtyard to discuss now. As for my birthday banquet, when compared to the lives of the family heads, it's naturally unimportant."

After speaking, Yin Songping led the way, taking Cui Hao and the others, along with the two so-called masters from the Western Region, into the Inner Courtyard.

Seeing this, Ye Feng shook his head secretly. Cui Hao and the others were clearly walking right into the tiger's mouth!
