CHAPTER 39: CHAPTER 39: RIDICULED AT THE GATHERING?

Ye Feng just wanted to thank Elder Xu, without intending to distance himself from him.

But if this caused some discomfort in Elder Xu’s heart, that wouldn’t be good.

So, Ye Feng hurriedly explained, "Bro, I didn’t mean anything by it. I just feel it’s wrong to take your stuff for free, especially something so good."

"But have you ever thought that what you’ve given me is even more valuable? Frankly speaking, I owe you my life." Xu Tong hesitated for a moment and then responded, "So, are you still going to worry about these things?"

"I was wrong... I take back what I said earlier." Since Xu Tong said so, Ye Feng could only awkwardly retract his earlier remarks.

"That’s more like it." Hearing Ye Feng’s words, Xu Tong patted Ye Feng’s shoulder and smiled with satisfaction.

At the same time, under Xu Tong’s guidance, Ye Feng saw one good thing after another, and absorbed the golden light from them in passing.

After absorbing the golden light, Ye Feng’s realm had reached the very pinnacle of Qi Cultivation layer one Perfection, on the verge of breaking through to layer two at any moment.

While these were not the most important things, what excited Ye Feng the most was the Heaven Concealing Sword in his hand.

After leaving Xu Tong’s house, Ye Feng experimented a bit.

By using the Heaven Concealing Sword, Ye Feng’s strength could increase by at least 30%, with a certain boost to the True Qi within his body.

Although Ye Feng’s cultivation technique was powerful, at his current realm, facing ordinary cultivators, he could at best contend with someone at the Middle Stage of Qi Cultivation layer two.

But with the Heaven Concealing Sword, even facing the Late Stage of Qi Cultivation layer two, Ye Feng could handle it.

This is the terrifying power of a treasure sword.

Ye Feng was very satisfied and couldn’t bear to part with the Heaven Concealing Sword.

However, what troubled Ye Feng was that carrying such a treasure sword was very conspicuous, and many places did not allow weapons.

After all, it is a treasure sword that cuts through iron like mud, possessing great lethality, and wouldn’t pass security checks.

’Ah! If only I had a storage treasure, it would be great.’ Thinking of this troublesome thing, Ye Feng shook his head helplessly.

Indeed, if there was a storage treasure, everything would be fine.

Unfortunately, storage treasures are even more precious than ordinary treasures, and it’s hard to find an ordinary one, let alone a storage treasure.

Just then, the phone rang.

Ye Feng picked up the phone to check, and it was a call from Liu Xue.

After confirming their cooperation, Liu Xue left Ye Feng aside and became busy, a typical career woman.

What Ye Feng didn’t expect was that she would actually call him on her own.

So Ye Feng hurriedly answered the call.

"Do you have time now?" Liu Xue asked with a smile after the call connected.

"Yes! What’s up?" Ye Feng nodded.

Hearing that Ye Feng had time, Liu Xue quickly asked, "It’s like this, my sister is going to attend a classmate gathering. I don’t feel comfortable with her going alone. I want you to go with her, is that okay?"

"Sure!" Ye Feng nodded in agreement.

"Thank you, I’ll send you Liu Qi’s location now." After Ye Feng agreed, Liu Xue happily hung up the phone.

At the same time, Ye Feng received Liu Qi’s location and quickly headed over.

Because Liu Xue instructed her, Liu Qi obediently waited for Ye Feng at the same place.

When she saw Ye Feng arrive, Liu Qi looked at Ye Feng with disdain and said irritably, "You really came? Just go and play by yourself later, don’t follow me."

Today Liu Qi wore a pink dress, looking very pretty.

Indeed, even compared to Liu Xue, Liu Qi’s looks and temperament were equally impressive.

But her temper was really bad, and she had a very harsh attitude towards Ye Feng.

"Your sister asked me to watch over you, so just give up on that thought." Normally, Ye Feng wouldn’t bother with her, but since he had promised Liu Xue, he must do it.

"If you like to be a tag-along, suit yourself, but don’t say you know me. It’ll be really embarrassing." Liu Qi snorted coldly and then entered the adjacent Yufeng Restaurant.

This was a five-star restaurant with a high average expenditure, and setting a classmate gathering here was indeed extravagant.

However, Ye Feng didn’t care about those things; his task was just to watch over Liu Qi and ensure nothing happened to her.

Under Liu Qi’s lead, the two of them entered an elegantly decorated private room.

At that moment, the room was already filled with people, all about the same age as Liu Qi.

"Qiqi, you finally came, who’s this?"

"Qiqi, you’re really beautiful today, worthy of being a little princess."

...

As Liu Qi entered the private room, these people started complimenting her, trying to curry favor.

Ye Feng took a casual glance and saw mostly boys. Is this the rhythm of trying to pursue his little sister-in-law?

"Hello everyone!" Liu Qi greeted with a smile and prepared to sit beside the girls.

At this moment, a man in a suit, wearing a branded watch, stood up and asked with a smile, "Qiqi, come sit over here?"

"By the way! Why did you bring someone here? Who is this?"

Saying nothing was fine, but once mentioned, Liu Qi was full of anger and disdainfully said, "He’s Ye Feng, the guy freeloading at our house."

"What? He’s Ye Feng, the wimpy guy forced into the Liu Family?"

"Why did he come along? Doesn’t eating with him ruin your appetite?"

"So, this is the loser. He really has no shame. Liu Xue doesn’t even want to be the CEO anymore, yet he’s still shamelessly lingering around. It’s disgusting."

With Liu Qi’s words, a chorus of ridicule erupted in the private room.

Some even covered their noses while talking, as if Ye Feng truly smelled bad.

But Ye Feng acted as if he didn’t hear anything, sitting right next to the suited man’s seat and starting to eat without care.

"A loser will always be a loser, and they find everything delicious like a refugee from Africa."

"Even beggars are better; at least they ask for food, while he eats for free without a hint of shame."

Seeing this scene, these people became even more disdainful, trying to anger Ye Feng into leaving.

Among them, the man in the suit and watch was even more anxious.

Initially, he planned to make something happen with Liu Qi during this gathering, but with Ye Feng’s presence, his plans were thwarted.

Moreover, Ye Feng managed to sit next to him, disrupting his plan to sit next to Liu Qi, which made him hate Ye Feng deeply.

If looks could kill, Ye Feng would have died countless times.

But Ye Feng didn’t care about any of that; he just wanted to finish his meal quickly, send Liu Qi back, and complete the task Liu Xue assigned him.

If not for that, he wouldn’t waste his time sitting with a bunch of kids for a meal.

If he had the time, he could go picking up valuable items for money—wouldn’t that be great?
