CHAPTER 61: CHAPTER 61 A GOD-LIKE MAN

Binjiang Li Family, the absolute overlord of Binjiang.

Moreover, as one of the rare directly governed municipalities in China, Binjiang far surpasses Yuntai in terms of both economy and politics.

So when everyone heard Shi Tian’s words, they immediately shifted their gaze to the proud Li Xu, secretly envying Shi Tian’s stroke of luck!

Because Li Xu had come to Yuntai this time specifically as a representative of the Li Family to negotiate a major deal with the Shi Family. If the deal went through, the Shi Family would undoubtedly rise to prominence and transform into a phoenix.

And seeing that Li Xu was even willing to lower himself to mingle with them, they instinctively knew this deal was almost certainly going to happen!

However, what they didn’t know was that in Li Xu’s eyes, this so-called major deal was merely an excuse to visit Yuntai. His real purpose was to gather information about Ye Fei.

After the expedition to Lingshan,

Su Mai had already made it clear that she had no intention of fulfilling her promise to Ye Fei.

This stunned both Master Sun and Li Xu, who had witnessed Ye Fei’s divine powers firsthand.

But considering Su Mai’s resolute nature, there was no point in trying to persuade her at that moment. Thus, Master Sun sought out Li Xu to conduct an in-depth analysis for him.

Although Li Xu was a typical privileged heir, he was no fool.

Su Family’s influence in Taiwan was far removed from Yuntai, but the Li Family was firmly rooted in Binjiang!

Hence, after Master Sun’s analysis and being filled with a reverence for Ye Fei, Li Xu promptly set out to investigate the major cities of Su Province.

What he uncovered wasn’t just astonishing; it nearly scared the soul out of him.

Ye Fei turned out to be a colossal powerhouse, commanding all thirteen cities in Su Province!

While none of Su Province’s individual city leaders could intimidate the Binjiang Li Family.

But the combined force of the thirteen cities was something even the Li Family couldn’t oppose.

Not to mention Ye Fei, this Su Province titan, was also a supremely powerful master with abilities likened to communicating with gods.

Thus, upon learning about the opening of Ye Fei’s company today, Li Xu immediately rushed over, hastily striking a casual deal with the Shi Family just to qualify for attending the opening ceremony. His ulterior motive was to form ties with Ye Fei and possibly with Su Province’s leaders too.

That way, if Ye Fei ever took issue with the Su Family, the Li Family could hopefully avoid being implicated.

Yet, all of these were Li Xu’s hidden intentions regarding Ye Fei; he would never reveal them to these ordinary second-generation heirs from Yuntai.

Among these people, it was only Chen Qian who managed to catch his eye somewhat—he even considered whether he might develop something with her.

So, Li Xu let out a chuckle and said, "The reason Mr. Ye could gather the major figures of Su Province is that he himself is the shared overlord of all thirteen cities in Su Province."

Shared overlord?

Common master?

So exaggerated?

Upon hearing Li Xu’s words, Bi Jie and the others all opened their mouths wide in disbelief; they couldn’t fathom that someone could actually command Su Province’s thirteen city leaders.

Seeing their shocked expressions, Li Xu continued smiling and said, "Your astonishment is only natural. After all, given your level, there are many things you aren’t privy to. Of course, except for Xiao Qian! Xiao Qian, feel free to ask your father when you have the chance; I’m sure Mr. Chen knows far more than I do!"

At this, apart from Chen Qian, who was still puzzled, Bi Jie and the others flushed with embarrassment.

Not privy to know!

Those simple five words thoroughly highlighted the gulf between them and Li Xu, and they had no way to refute it.

"My dad’s been so busy lately; I haven’t had the chance to talk to him. Li Xu, you’re speaking so confidently—have you seen this Mr. Ye? Are you familiar with him?"

At that moment, Chen Qian suddenly asked curiously.

The accompanying Wu Xia immediately perked up her ears, and Bi Jie and the others set aside their earlier embarrassment to lean in with great interest.

After all, the name Mr. Ye had become overwhelmingly legendary throughout Su Province.

If they could glean even a crumb of information about Mr. Ye from Li Xu, it would be a perfect tidbit to brag about later.

Seeing that Chen Qian had asked, Li Xu immediately smiled and replied, "I’ve only had the chance to meet Mr. Ye once, but I wouldn’t say I’m familiar with him! Figures like Mr. Ye, even for someone like me, can only admire his every breath from afar!"

Gasp!

Bi Jie and the others instantly sucked in a sharp breath.

Someone like Li Xu, a top-tier young master, could only admire every breath?

What could they hope to admire? His toenails?

Han Fenfen, the most lively girl in their group, couldn’t resist chiming in with glittering eyes, "Mr. Ye is so incredible? I wonder what he looks like and how old he is... If only I could claim him as a godfather, I’d be golden!"

"Godfather?"

Li Xu shook his head upon hearing Han Fenfen’s remark and replied, "Mr. Ye is only seventeen or eighteen years old; how could he be your godfather?"

"Se... seventeen or eighteen?" Han Fenfen exclaimed in astonishment.

The others were equally dumbstruck.

Seventeen or eighteen—what kind of concept was that?

Did that mean this titan who commanded Su Province was about the same age as them?

Up until now, when they had heard stories of Mr. Ye, they assumed he was someone around their parents’ age—a mature, steady, and awe-inspiring figure.

But the reality couldn’t be more different from their imagination!

"Seventeen or eighteen? This... this is practically a myth!" remarked Bi Jie, stupefied.

"It truly is mythical! I doubt there’s ever been such a prominent young figure in all of China, let alone Su Province," commented Wu Xia, her face equally astonished.

At the same time, a name suddenly popped into Wu Xia’s mind: Ye Fei.

The surname Ye, the same age range—could Ye Fei be this Mr. Ye?

But as soon as the thought arose, Wu Xia quickly dismissed it.

Ye Fei was just some country bumpkin with no exposure to the world, poor grades, no background, and an arrogant, uncouth nature!

How could he possibly be like a divine Flying Dragon from the heavens, looking down upon them second-generation heirs from Yuntai and the leaders of Su Province alike?

The disparity between the two was so vast, it was akin to comparing a mayfly to a Primordial Giant Beast—utterly incomparable!

Wu Xia and Bi Jie, the leaders of their social circle, thought this way.

The others were no different; they were all slack-jawed and profoundly shocked.

"Oh my goodness! He’s the same age as us? How did Mr. Ye achieve all this?" Zheng Tan asked with envy written all over his face.

"If we could just see Mr. Ye once, that’d be amazing!" Shi Tian said, glancing at Li Xu, his intentions unmistakably clear.

If the Shi Family could connect with Mr. Ye through Li Xu, it wouldn’t merely rise to prominence—it would ascend to the heavens and transform into a true dragon!

Han Fenfen was even more forthright, shouting, "So young? That rules out him being my godfather, but he could absolutely be my boyfriend! If I had such a powerful boyfriend, I’d do whatever he wants!"

Li Xu observed their flabbergasted reactions and sneered, "Do you think Mr. Ye’s only trait is being young? His capabilities are beyond what you can imagine. Once, I witnessed Ye..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Li Xu’s pupils suddenly contracted—he had spotted Ye Fei in the distance, watching them with a faint smile. His face instantly broke out in cold sweat.

"Ye... Ye... Ye..."
