"Thank you! Thank you, Mr. Ye." Wu Ting beside Ye Feng was overjoyed, not knowing how to thank Ye Feng.
"Mr. Ye." On the other hand, Lin Shuanger was a bit upset, pouting and looking pitifully at Ye Feng.
"Haha! The weather is nice today, look... what a big moon." Ye Feng laughed, pointed overhead, then turned and ran off.
Following Ye Feng’s words, Lin Shuanger and Wu Ting hurriedly looked up, but all they saw were lights, not a trace of the moon inside the house.
Fooled by you, you wily old man.
The two stomped their feet, realizing they had been tricked by Ye Feng.
When they wanted to find Ye Feng again, he was already gone.
Although Ye Feng disappeared, the crowd at the scene did not vanish.
At this moment, the Wu Family was on cloud nine, countless people came forward to curry favor, eager to please the Wu Family.
"Congratulations to Patriarch Wu, with Mr. Ye’s protection, the Wu Family will be worry-free for a lifetime."
"Patriarch Wu is really lucky! To have such an encounter."
"Congratulations, congratulations!" Facing the crowd’s flattering words, Patriarch Wu smiled and responded.
At this time, the Wu Family became the most dazzling presence in the venue, attracting countless people to worship and fawn over.
Of course, this was after Ye Feng left.
After others had left, Xu Hong finally arrived with Xu Kun.
"Master Xu!" Seeing Xu Hong, the Lin Family quickly came up to him, waiting there specifically for Xu Hong.
"Master Xu, you’re here?" The Wu Family was not to be outdone and also approached.
Initially, they were puzzled why the Lin Family had not left, but they realized it was to curry favor with the Xu Family.
Indeed, the Xu Family is protected by Ye Feng; even the Lin Family and Wu Family must maintain good relations and cooperate with the Xu Family.
"Aren’t you two embarrassing me? Just call me Old Xu." Seeing the two most powerful families in the South flattering him so much, Xu Hong was somewhat overwhelmed and responded.
Though the Xu Family was invincible now, the Xu Family members did not become arrogant because of it.
As everyone in the Xu Family knew, behaving arrogantly would not lead to a good outcome.
"Then I’ll call you Brother Xu, you’re truly too humble, putting Lin to shame." Patriarch Lin laughed and praised.
"Exactly, given the Xu Family’s strength, calling you Master Xu wouldn’t be excessive, but Brother Xu’s humility is a model for us." Patriarch Wu also praised.
"By the way, the auction of the magical artifact, is it being handled by Brother Xu?" Having praised Xu Hong, Patriarch Lin quickly asked.
"Yes, my little uncle entrusted me to handle it, but I will not profit from it." Xu Hong nodded.
"If that’s the case, we could cooperate! Our Wu Family has channels to auction such fine items internationally." Hearing Xu Hong’s words, Patriarch Wu’s eyes lit up, and he quickly proposed.
"It’s not just you; our Lin Family also has resources, we should cooperate with us, as our Lin Family is stronger." Seeing the Wu Family seizing the opportunity, the Lin Family was immediately displeased.
"Are you both clear on this? I sell these for my little uncle, without making money, so I can’t offer you rewards." Seeing the two families almost starting to fight, Xu Hong weakly reminded them.
"The Lin Family just wants to help, we don’t want a reward." Patriarch Lin quickly promised.
"That’s right, being able to help Mr. Ye is an honor, the Wu Family never considered wanting a reward." Patriarch Wu nodded and promised.
"Then I’m grateful, let’s the three families cooperate to help my little uncle sell, naturally it’s the best!" Hearing both families refuse rewards, Xu Hong immediately smiled and agreed.
Indeed, despite the Xu Family’s prowess, selling all the magical artifacts would take some time.
But with help from the Lin Family and Wu Family, it could be expedited greatly, and prices would also rise higher.
Actually, after news spread that Jiangcheng’s wealthy survived a catastrophe, the value of magical artifacts soared, and countless people came to buy them.
However, the prices still didn’t satisfy Xu Hong, so he came to the East Sea to try, unexpectedly selling at terrifyingly high prices, instantly overshadowing offers of over a billion.
Now, with help from the Lin Family and Wu Family, the prices would surely be more terrifying, reaching international markets, and achieved higher, which Xu Hong was immensely excited about.
"By the way...," In unanimous agreement, the Lin and Wu Families proposed full cooperation with the Xu Family to ingratiate themselves, which delighted Xu Hong.
Xu Hong believed that with the help of the Lin and Wu Families, the Xu Family could become stronger, potentially the most powerful family domestically.
As the Xu Family, Wu Family, and Lin Family reached comprehensive cooperation, Ye Feng had already returned to the hotel.
Just back at the hotel, Ye Feng got a video call from Liu Xue.
"Humph!" As the video connected, Liu Xue was somewhat peeved.
"What’s wrong?" Ye Feng asked puzzled upon seeing this.
"Didn’t you say you’d be back? Why haven’t you returned?" Liu Xue pouted, asking wistfully.
"Oh! I was invited to a banquet, so stayed an extra day." Ye Feng replied helplessly.
"A banquet? Did some woman try to seduce you? Let me see, is there a woman in your room?" Hearing Ye Feng’s words, Liu Xue loudly questioned.
"No way! Even if other women come to me, I wouldn’t be interested, how could they compare to you?" Ye Feng smiled and explained.
"So you’re saying someone did come to you? Humph!" Hearing Ye Feng’s words, Liu Xue was even angrier, looking adorably puffy-faced.
"I’m hanging up, go find other women, I’ll tell your sister you’re seeing other women outside, messing around." Before Ye Feng could speak, Liu Xue pretended to cry and shouted angrily.
Then Liu Xue quickly hung up the video.
"What the...?" Seeing this, Ye Feng was dumbfounded, what had he done?
Moreover, not long after, Ye Qian really called him.
"How dare you, Ye Feng, messing with women outside, look how upset you’ve made sis-in-law, is this how you repay her? Your parents?" After Ye Feng answered, Ye Qian scolded him, leaving Ye Feng puzzled.
LeavYed Feng confused, when did Liu Xue and Ye Qian become so close, enough to make Ye Qian turn against him for Liu Xue?
In his confusion, Ye Feng hurriedly explained, saying he’d return tomorrow, finally making Liu Xue smile with satisfaction.
She was just doing it on purpose, wanting Ye Feng to hurry back, that cheeky little devil...
