Dragon King Palace: Urban Affluent Son-in-Law

Chapter 1571: Chapter 1571: A Dead Camel Is Still Bigger Than a Horse!

"Jiang Feng, go to hell!"

Nangong Qingcheng heard Jiang Feng’s "shameless" words, especially his annoying expression, and couldn’t help but kick him again, chiding him.

This guy, being so unruly again!

At present, she had no choice but to casually make up a reason, sent it over, and after brushing off Chu Feifei and her sisters’ inquiries, she got out of bed and left the room.

At this moment, Nangong Honghu was sitting alone in the living room drinking tea, and upon seeing Nangong Qingcheng come out, he asked with a smile, "Slept well?"

"Mm."

Nangong Qingcheng lowered her head, looking shy and embarrassed, couldn’t be more bashful as she glimpsed Nangong Honghu’s eyes filled with shyness, not knowing what peculiar thoughts the old man might have.

"Grandfather, Jiang Feng and I are going out to buy groceries, then come back to cook together."

"Okay." Nangong Honghu smiled, his expression warm.

That’s what family bliss is all about; seeing his granddaughter looking so bashful, she probably got bullied by Jiang Feng in the room again.

Soon after, Jiang Feng also came out of the room, without explaining anything, his eyes cast down in contemplation, he just greeted the Old Man and set out with Nangong Qingcheng to buy groceries.

It felt so long ago for the two of them to stroll through the market together, buying fresh ingredients, then cooking together.

Nowadays, Nangong Qingcheng is also quite handy in the kitchen; as long as Jiang Feng is not home, and they’re not ordering takeout, she usually does the cooking.

With their combined efforts, they soon had a table full of delicious dishes ready.

As the meal was served, Jiang Feng sat down and surprisingly kept the Old Man company drinking a few more glasses, all the way until nine at night before heading back.

Before entering the house, naturally, they had planned their excuses well in advance, deliberately staggering their return times—Jiang Feng let Nangong Qingcheng enter first, while he wandered outside for over half an hour before returning to the mansion.

In this way, they could barely dispel the suspicions of the ladies at home, although Chu Feifei and the others still had some guesses, Jiang Feng and Nangong Qingcheng each had their own excuses, and they couldn’t be pressed too much.

That night, Jiang Feng comfortably slept on the floor mat, suddenly thinking, if he hadn’t gotten himself into such deep waters with so many enemies outside, it would be nice to live every day plainly and low-key with these ladies; just a shame he’s already embroiled too deeply, making it hard to keep to himself.

Silent all through the night.

The next morning at dawn, Jiang Feng got up early, jogged a few laps outside and was just about to come back and make breakfast for Nangong Qingcheng and the ladies, to energize them for school and work, when unexpectedly the phone rang, it was a call from Xiang Tiandong.

"Master, according to the latest information I’ve received, Duanmu Zhe is indeed going to act against me!"

Xiang Tiandong’s voice was grim on the other end: "He doesn’t want to act without justification and ruin his reputation, so this time he has the Leng Family act against me."

"Leng Family?"

"Yes, Leng Te from the Leng Family was just like me, one of Duanmu Zhe’s several key aides. Yesterday they came together to my door, I drove them all away. I guess Leng Te harbors resentment and wants to use public justice for private revenge," Xiang Tiandong reported truthfully.

"Right now, do you have confidence when facing the Leng Family?" Jiang Feng asked with amusement.

"If it’s not a life-and-death struggle, I do have the confidence!"

Xiang Tiandong assured: "After all, we Xiang Family are a Martial Arts Family, while the Leng Family has relied on currying favor with other families to rise to power since generations ago. Their assets are merely holding shares in some large business groups, but solely relying on commercial tactics cannot topple the Xiang Family; Leng Te just wants to force me to acquiesce."

"Doesn’t his family have a few tributers?" Jiang Feng asked with a smile. All these great families have the same behavior, he was long accustomed to it.

"They do! But definitely not as formidable as our family’s ancestors, the Xiao Yao Two Elders, or even my grandfather. The highest they have should be those at the Peak Realm; if truly fought, the Xiang Family wouldn’t fear them!"

The saying goes, a thin camel is still bigger than a horse!

Currently, although the peak realm experts of the Xiang Family were wiped out by Jiang Feng, as a Martial Arts Family, the people inside still admire martial arts, old generation experts are still aplenty.

Not mentioning anything else, just those elders of the same generation as Xiang Yunshan, even if they haven’t reached the Spirit Void Realm, they are more than capable of reaching the Peak Realm, and there are many of Human Kings and Legendaries too.

For any average family wanting to crush the Xiang Family with martial prowess, it’s indeed difficult unless they are truly first or second-tier, but the Leng Family apparently isn’t among them.

Those old generation masters of Xiang Family were also terrified last time by Jiang Feng’s tremendous combat power value, so just like Xiang Tiandong, they sincerely submitted to Jiang Feng. If they’re willing to make a move, the Leng Family are dead ducks!

"Alright then, you just lead your kin to compete against the Leng Family, I still say, if you can’t manage it, tell me immediately." Jiang Feng said calmly.

"Alright!" Xiang Tiandong, reassured once more by Jiang Feng’s promise, felt a bit more secure but suddenly hesitated: "However..."

"What is it?"

"Master, there’s one more thing; through my informers and reports, last night the Capital seemed to have four unexpected guests!"

Xiang Tiandong said in a low voice: "Those four, as soon as they arrived, went to the Lian Family, appearing to investigate something, but upon knowing the Lian Family is already broken and gone, they left, seemingly taking a few survivors with them."

"I suspect this matter might be related to you, since the Lian Family was destroyed by you..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng immediately recalled the call Chen Longxiang made the other day.

Is it possibly the so-called four great senior officials from the Netherworld Hall?

They surely arrived fast, locating the Lian Family so quickly.

With their means, I guess they’ll soon ascertain everything and eventually link it back to me!

"Do you have any information on their current movements?" Jiang Feng asked with a frown.

"No! Those four seem to be the elite amongst elites. It was only by being extra vigilant that I found any clues from the Lian Family, but as for their identities, I know nothing, not even their purpose; it’s merely out of concern that I’m reporting this to you..." Xiang Tiandong said cautiously.

Jiang Feng nodded: "Alright, got it."

He didn’t reveal much to Xiang Tiandong, as his grudges with the Netherworld Hall have nothing to do with the Xiang Family.

At this point, he calmly ordered again: "You just focus on your task, deal with that Leng Family first, and don’t bother with anything else."

"Alright!"

Xiang Tiandong didn’t dare ask further, cautiously hung up the call.

Jiang Feng placed down the phone, narrowed his eyes, gaze sharp yet helpless.

Indeed, a tree wishes to be still but the wind keeps blowing; he had just returned for a day, spent a day in peace, and then new troubles popped up.

And this time the trouble seems the most terrifying so far; four Spirit Void Realm elites dispatched at once, likely causing a commotion!
