Chapter 97: Chapter 97: Coerced Wedding_1
Ye Fei left Mount Dàoxuán and discovered that it was already daytime.
He had planned to emerge covertly and avoid the patroller’s vigilance.
But upon stepping out, he realized the place was completely deserted.
Had the patrollers retreated so quickly?
He hurriedly took a taxi home; it was during the ride that he grasped the severity of the problem.
Time had passed by a full fifteen days!
Yet his foray into Mount Dàoxuán had lasted less than two hours.
Such a stark difference in time?
Ye Fei’s heart pounded with panic as he raced back home.
"Ye Fei?"
When Su Yueru saw Ye Fei, disbelief crossed her face.
However, the next moment, tears of longing flooded her eyes.
"You still know to come back?"
"Two weeks, where did you disappear to?"
Ye Fei’s mind was in a turmoil, and all he could do was to keep comforting her.
He didn’t know that his absence had spanned such a long time.
After a long while, Su Yueru’s emotions finally stabilized.
She had thought Ye Fei met with some misfortune, and that they might be separated again.
All of a sudden, she remembered something.
"You should go see Director Zhang right away, he has been looking for you desperately!"
Zhang Jingzhong?
Ye Fei pondered for a moment.
What does this old man want from me?
He immediately called Zhang Jingzhong.
Upon hearing his voice, Zhang Jingzhong was overwhelmingly excited.
"You’re at home, right? Wait for me, I’m coming over right now!"
Merely moments later, Zhang Jingzhong arrived in a frenzied rush.
Zhang Jingzhong’s face was ashen, and his dark circles were evidence of his lack of sleep for a long time.
It was evident that this important businessman was completely flustered.
"Ye Fei, you must save Yuying!"
Ye Fei frowned.
The disorientation of time left him slow to react.
Zhang Yuying? Wasn’t she just fine?
Why does she need saving now?
Zhang Jingzhong hurriedly began to explain.
"That Wang Haoyu, I don’t know how he did it, but he somehow made a breakthrough to the Innate tenth stage!"
"This gained him great favor within the Wang Family, and so his father Wang Gaohan proposed for him to marry Yuying!"
Ye Fei’s brows were tightly knitted.
Wang Haoyu must have taken the Qi Condensing Pill purchased at the auction, and that’s how he broke through to the Innate tenth stage.
In ancient martial families, cultivation is paramount.
If Wang Haoyu has a chance to break through to the Houtian stage, those old fuddy-duddies would certainly grant his wishes.
Ye Fei asked, "Wang Haoyu personally promised to dissolve their engagement, didn’t he fulfill his word?"
Zhang Jingzhong looked as though he had lost a loved one, overwhelmed with grief.
"The Wang Family is powerful, isn’t it all up to them?"
"Now the wedding ceremony is about to take place, and my daughter... may fall into the devil’s hands!"
Such a domineering way of doing things.
Ye Fei’s heart, he couldn’t stand such arrogant behavior.
Moreover, Zhang Jingzhong had helped him on several occasions; he could not stand idly by.
But... to just go and rescue another man’s woman, what would his own wife think?
Just then, Su Yueru gently grasped Ye Fei’s hand.
"If you can help, then go!"
Su Yueru’s eyes were soft as water, "I believe no girl wants to marry someone she doesn’t love."
Ye Fei sighed softly.
Then he and Zhang Jingzhong rushed to the wedding venue.
If he could save her, he would; it was just the right thing to do.
Inside the Hànhǎi Hotel.
Guests were shoulder to shoulder, the crowd unending.
Amidst the clinking of glasses, an elder took slow steps forward.
The elder, named Wang Gaohan, was the Family Head of the Wang Family.
Wang Gaohan wore a beaming smile, raising his glass high.
"Everyone, thank you for coming to support my son Haoyu’s big day!"
The crowd promptly raised their glasses in response, flattering endlessly.
"The son of elder Wang marrying is the biggest celebration in Tianhe City!"
"Indeed, our ancient martial families are dwindling, we’re counting on the Wang Family to lead our Tianhe City martial families towards prosperity!"
Wang Gaohan chuckled heartily, full of comfort.
He had thought his younger son was nothing but a hopeless case, living just to eat and die.
Unexpectedly, Wang Haoyu broke through to the Innate tenth stage, and with just one more step, he could reach the Houtian stage.
With this, the younger generation of the Wang Family would have two individuals in the Houtian realm.
It must be known that his elder son was already deep in training at the Shén Yóu Palace.
The Wang Family’s future was boundlessly bright.
Today’s wedding was also Wang Haoyu’s own strategy.
Making use of the wedding to get Zhang Yuying was a minor matter.
But seizing the opportunity to take over the considerable wealth of the wealthy businessman Zhang Jingzhong, that was the main event!
Wang Gaohan had not expected his younger son to possess such tactics, and he was pleasantly surprised.
This sort of thing, of course, had his full support.
However, the next moment, he saw Wang Haoyu frolicking with a few female stars.
Alas, a leopard never changes its spots.
Wang Gaohan’s gaze flickered, just hoping that his son would be able to control himself after getting married.
Suddenly, he spotted a familiar figure.
In an instant, Wang Gaohan’s aged body began to tremble violently.
"Master Yi... Master Yi?"
Wang Gaohan quickly made two steps out of three, running to the old man’s side.
"Master Yi, what brings you here?"
The guest was an energetic old man, tall and majestic.
Next to Master Yi, stood a woman as cold as ice, immediately attracting the attention of everyone in the venue.
Master Yi chuckled, "I came to Tianhe City to look for someone, and when I saw all this festivity, I decided to drop by."
