Chapter 159: Dropped to His Knees

Chapter 159: Chapter 159: Dropped to His Knees

Behind them, Su Feng was so scared her scalp went numb. She looked at Su Youning and said, "Ningning, that man is a lunatic! How dare he challenge Master Duan Liu? He’s not getting out of this in one piece. He’s in for a world of hurt today!

Come on, let’s get back! We’ll get splattered with blood if we don’t."

Without another word, she grabbed Su Youning and started pulling her away.

But just then, a cold voice rang out from the entrance. "Duan Liuzi, you’ve got quite a nerve!"

As the voice fell, a middle-aged man in glasses and a martial arts uniform strode in, followed by a large entourage.

Duan Peng spun around and glared at the newcomer. He was just about to erupt, but his face fell the moment he recognized the middle-aged man.

The tattooed man, not seeing the look on Duan Peng’s face, whipped his head around. He glared at the newcomer and roared, "Who the fuck do you think you are, challenging Master Duan Liu? You got a death wish...?"

Before he could finish, Duan Peng rushed over and cracked a hard slap across his face, roaring furiously:

"Shut your fucking mouth!"

The tattooed man froze on the spot, staring dumbly at Duan Peng with utter disbelief in his eyes. ’Why is he hitting one of his own guys?’

Duan Peng paid the tattooed man no mind. He stumbled over to the newcomer and cried out, "Squad Leader Wang, my subordinate is an ignorant fool! He spoke out of turn. I beg your forgiveness!"

’Squad Leader Wang?’

The tattooed man took a closer look and finally recognized the man. In the next instant, his scalp tingled with terror. It was really him—the new squad leader of the Dragon King Pavilion, Wang Tao.

Thugs like them only dared to act tough in front of regular people. Compared to a professional from the Dragon King Pavilion, they were less than nothing. If they truly angered someone like him, he could wipe them out with a flick of his wrist.

More importantly, guys like him were all considered outer-circle members of the Dragon King Pavilion. That meant a squad leader of the Dragon King Pavilion was his boss’s boss. He was a figure that even Duan Peng had to treat with the utmost respect. ’And I just disrespected this living deity? Am I not courting death?’

The tattooed man was so scared he nearly wet his pants. He stumbled forward, dropped to his knees with a THUD in front of Wang Tao, and began kowtowing repeatedly. His voice trembled as he cried out:

"Squad Leader Wang, I swear I didn’t know it was you! Everything I said was just bullshit! Please, don’t take it to heart!"

However, Wang Tao didn’t spare him or Duan Peng so much as a glance. He walked straight up to Ye Feng and spoke respectfully:

"Wang Tao, representing the Dragon King Pavilion, has come to report to the Young Pavilion Master."

’Young Pavilion Master?’

Those three simple words crashed over Duan Peng’s head like a clap of thunder. He froze on the spot, utterly dumbfounded.

’He never imagined that Ye Feng was the Young Pavilion Master of the Dragon King Pavilion! That made him Squad Leader Wang’s boss! Which made him his own boss’s boss’s boss!’

He was so terrified he couldn’t move a muscle.

Duan Peng was petrified. He’d been wondering why Wang Tao would bring men from the Dragon King Pavilion here, but now he understood. It was all because of this powerhouse, Ye Feng!

He couldn’t bear it any longer. Stumbling over to Ye Feng, he dropped to his knees with a THUD, his voice trembling as he cried:

"Young Pavilion Master!"

"Hmph," Ye Feng grunted. He reached out and patted Duan Peng’s chubby face, asking nonchalantly, "Is this how you manage your subordinates?"

"Young Pavilion Master, I was wrong!" Duan Peng shouted, his face deathly pale.

"And you were thinking about tearing me limb from limb?" Ye Feng asked.

Duan Peng began to tremble uncontrollably. "Young Pavilion Master, I would never dare!"

Ye Feng gestured toward Su Youning behind him and let out a dry chuckle. "And you’re the one who ordered someone to take my fiancée away?"

’Fiancée?’

’Su Youning is Ye Feng’s fiancée?’

Duan Peng’s blood ran cold. ’This is suicide! I must have a death wish!’

He kowtowed repeatedly to Ye Feng, shrieking, "Young Pavilion Master, I swear I didn’t know Miss Su was your fiancée! Otherwise, I wouldn’t have dared act so presumptuously, not even if you beat me to death!"

Just then, Wang Tao stepped forward and glared at Duan Peng, his voice ice-cold. "As a subordinate of the Dragon King Pavilion, you dared to disrespect the Young Pavilion Master. You dared to cause a scene at Hundred Herbs Hall. And you tried to harm the Young Pavilion Master’s family. Your life is forfeit!"

Duan Peng trembled violently. "Squad Leader Wang, please give me another chance! Young Pavilion Master, please, just one more chance!"

"You son of a bitch, you still want to live? Just die right here!" Wang Tao surged forward to attack, but Ye Feng raised a hand to block him. He looked at Duan Peng and said calmly,

"On account of you being part of the Dragon King Pavilion, I’ll spare you this one time. Get up."

"Thank you, Young Pavilion Master! Thank you!" Duan Peng knocked his head on the floor one more time before scrambling to his feet. He looked at Ye Feng and declared hastily,

"Young Pavilion Master, from this day on, I’ll do everything in my power to protect Hundred Herbs Hall and Miss Su! As long as I draw breath, I’ll never let Hundred Herbs Hall be bullied or Miss Su come to harm again."

Seeing Ye Feng nod, Duan Peng finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly left with his men.

Wang Tao also took his leave from Ye Feng and departed.

Ye Feng turned to Su Youning and smiled. "I’ve taken care of the trouble for you. You don’t need to run anymore."

Su Youning looked at Ye Feng with her wide eyes, nodded quickly, and said in a clear, bright voice, "Thank you!"

But then Su Feng rushed over, glaring at Su Youning. "What are you thanking him for? Can’t you see he has ill intentions toward you, too?"

Ye Feng looked at Su Feng, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "My dear sister-in-law, with which of your eyes did you see me having ill intentions toward Su Youning?"

Su Feng glared at Ye Feng and shouted, "You keep claiming to be our Ningning’s boyfriend! If that’s not having ill intentions, then what is it?"

Ye Feng smiled faintly. "What if it’s possible that I really am her fiancé?"

As he spoke, he pulled out a marriage contract and held it in front of Su Youning.

Su Youning glanced at it, and her clear, beautiful eyes widened in an instant.

Su Feng snatched the marriage contract from him, gritting her teeth. "What’s this piece of crap? Trying to use it to trick our Ningning!"

With that, she glanced down at the contract, and in the next instant, she froze.

Marriage Contract

Hereby, between the Su family’s daughter, Youning, and the Ye family’s son, Ye Feng, a union is formed. The two families join in matrimony, bound by this single contract. May this blessed match be everlasting, a pair perfectly suited. On this auspicious day, as peach blossoms bloom, so shall your home be harmonious. It is foretold that in years to come, your lineage shall be plentiful and your days prosperous. This solemn vow, to last until hair turns white, is thus written on this document. Let this fated covenant be inscribed, a testament to your lifelong bond.

Signatories:

Liu Hanyan

Su Dingbang.

Year X, Month X, Day X

Su Feng stood there dumbly, holding the marriage contract. Ye Feng watched her with a wide grin and said,

"Now do you believe me when I say Su Youning is my fiancée?"

Su Feng snapped back to her senses, glaring at Ye Feng. "Who’s to say you didn’t forge this yourself? I’m calling Grandpa right now to confirm it."

She immediately took out her phone and made the call. A moment later, it connected. Su Feng spoke into it urgently,

"Grandpa, was Ningning really engaged to a man named Ye Feng?"

A puzzled voice came from the phone. "Feng’Er, what made you suddenly ask about that?"

Su Feng replied through gritted teeth, "Because there’s a bastard named Ye Feng here right now, waving around a marriage contract and trying to swindle us!"

But a furious roar from the other end of the line made her freeze on the spot.
