Ai Zhenghong's anger-filled strike, his palms like flying eagles swooping down on their prey with sharp claws. Although Ai Zhenghong was not a cultivator, he walked the path of a warrior. Ordinary people were no match for Ai Zhenghong, let alone Ye Feng, that young whippersnapper.

  "Spare his life!" Ye Qingyun was shocked by the scene and hastily pleaded with Ai Zhenghong, hoping that he would spare Ye Feng's life out of their past relationship. However, it seemed that Ai Zhenghong's grip was going to take Ye Feng's life.

  Just as Ai Zhenghong's sharp claws were about to grab Ye Feng's head, a figure descended from the sky and a strong hand blocked Ai Zhenghong's double claws.

  "Boom"

  A loud crash was heard, and dust flew everywhere as the ground shook violently.

  "Thud thud thud", Ai Zhenghong continuously retreated, taking seven or eight steps back before stabilizing his footing, his breathing momentarily caught, and his blood circulation suddenly felt unsmooth.

  He looked up and saw who had countered his move.

  "Elder brother Ai, please calm down and don't be impatient. It's not a big deal, you don't have to take action to teach a junior a lesson, this is not your usual behavior."

  Everyone burst out laughing.

  "Zhen Zhicheng, you're meddling in other people's business again. Scram! Today I must teach this young whippersnapper a lesson to vent my anger." Ai Zhenghong saw that the newcomer was Zhen Zhicheng from the Zhen family and thought to himself: "In terms of cultivation, Zhen Zhicheng and I are about equal, but rumor has it that he recently obtained a treasure which helped him advance his cultivation to 9th rank warrior, just one step away from achieving the coveted Qi Refining stage."

  Ai Zhenghong was a seventh-grade martial artist, and he had originally been skeptical of Zhen Zhicheng's promotion to ninth-grade martial artist. However, with just one move earlier, it was clear that Zhen Zhicheng was now above him, so Ai Zhenghong didn't dare to come on strong. After his angry words, he didn't launch an attack. The Zhen family was also one of the five major families, and in terms of strength, Zhen Zhicheng wasn't afraid of Ai Zhenghong either.

  "Brother Ai, it's just a matter between kids, isn't it too petty for adults to intervene?" Zhen Zhicheng had actually arrived when Ai Binkou insulted Ye Qingyun and saw the whole thing clearly, he just didn't show himself.

  When Ye Feng took action to teach Ai Benke a lesson, Zhen Zhicheng secretly applauded in his heart. The Ai family had always been arrogant because of the few cultivators in their family, and Zhen Zhicheng had long been displeased with the Ai family's behavior. Seeing Ai Zhenghong take action in anger, he appeared to rescue Ye Feng.

  "Third Uncle." Ye Feng greeted Zhen Zhicheng.

  Ye Feng's mother is Zhen Zhicheng's paternal aunt, so Ye Feng calls Zhen Zhicheng "Uncle".

  "It's fine, no loss of face." As soon as Zhen Zhicheng spoke, Ai Zhenghong's already red face suddenly turned iron-green.

  "Big Brother." A lively young girl appeared beside Zhen Zhicheng and called out to Ye Feng in a crisp voice.

  What a beautiful girl, completely like an unopened flower bud, delicate and lovely, Ye Feng suddenly felt a flash of inspiration.

  "Snowy day, sister-in-law."

  The little girl is actually Zhen Zhicheng's daughter, Zhen Xuetian, and can be considered as Ye Feng's distant cousin.

  "It's Zhi Cheng and Xue Tian." Ye Qingyun finally calmed down from her fright after a long time.

  Brother-in-law.

  "Hello, uncle."

  "Zhen Zhicheng, since you've intervened in this matter, then give me an explanation." Ai Zhenghong felt that several people had completely ignored him and also felt embarrassed in front of everyone.

  "Hey brother Ai, let the kids work out their own issues among themselves. As elders, shouldn't we refrain from getting involved and making a fuss?"

  "What's going on? Is Ye Feng just going to let Benke get beaten up like this?" Ai Zhenghong couldn't take it anymore.

  "So what do you want?" Zhen Zhicheng retorted to Ai Zhenghong.

  Ai Zhenghong hesitated for a moment. Now that Zhen Zhicheng was backing him up, he wanted to say something to teach Ye Feng a lesson, but the words couldn't be spoken out loud.

  "If the adults all intervene when kids are being naughty and fighting, wouldn't that make people think this kid is even more spoiled? Besides, if you were to hit Ye Feng, my brother-in-law's family has always been a single child generation, they won't let it go easily. And my brother-in-law can't beat you, but he also won't give up, just like you. What would happen then? If the elderly of the Ye family aren't pleased, I'm afraid not only you, Ai brother, but even your entire Ai family will have to be afraid."

  What Zeng Zhicheng said was the old man of Ye Qingyun's ancestors, who was rumored to be extremely irritable and protective, and it was only because of him that the Ye family was able to survive until now.

  Stop bringing out this old thing that's still alive to scare people, Ai Zhenghong cursed in his heart but didn't say it out loud, his face changing with a mixture of emotions.

  "Brother Ai, let's spare each other, I have a wound-healing pill here, give it to your nephew to take and consider the matter settled. If your nephew is not satisfied, we can settle this again in the future when there's an opportunity." Zhen Zhicheng handed over a jade bottle to Ai Zhenghong.

  There is nothing wrong with what he said.

  "Yes, yes, let's just leave it at that. Let the younger generation handle their own affairs in the future. This matter can be considered as giving Zhi Cheng some face."

  Ai Zhenghong turned his head and took a look. The speaker was Tu Haikun, the leader of the Tu family team that came to participate in the trial this time.

  Damn it, what kind of people are these? They were just urging me to collect the leaves with Ye Feng, and now that Zhen Zhicheng has appeared, they're saying this.

  Ai Zhenghong saw that things had come to this and it was no longer possible to insist on teaching Ye Feng, so he could only give up. "Alright, this time I'll let you have your way." Then he turned his head towards Ai Binkui, "As for whether or not you can find your place in the future, that's your own business."

  Aibin woke up with a pig's head on his body, and at this time he also came back to his senses. He glared at Ye Feng with hatred but didn't say anything.

  "Haha, it's not easy for us to meet up like this, so today I'll treat you all to a drink." Tu Haikun mediated.

  "We still have to rush to Qianzhou City, no time." Ai Zhenghong turned around and left with a few people from the Ai family, obviously still in a huff.

  "Let's catch up another day, it's been a long time since I've seen my brother-in-law." Zhen Zhicheng also refused Tu Haikun. This guy is just a fair-weather friend, he didn't show his face when Ai Zhenghong took action against Ye Feng earlier, now he comes out to pretend to be a good person.

  "Alright then, let's meet again another day." Tu Haikun felt that neither side had gained the upper hand and also thought it was quite dull, so he took Tu Qingyu and others to leave.

  "Thanks to you, Zhicheng, otherwise Xiaofeng would have been in big trouble." What Yeqingyun said was not false.

  "Xiao Feng, it's good that young people have enthusiasm, but some things still need to be done with caution. If not careful, it will lead to irreparable consequences." Zhen Zhicheng didn't want to say more as an outsider.

  "Hmm, I understand. It's just that I dislike the arrogant look on Abing and Tuchengyu's faces. Whoever dares to be disrespectful to Father will surely not have a good ending." Ye Feng didn't think much of it, and if it happened again, he would still react the same way.

  "Good, it's rare for you to be so filial." Zhen Zhicheng was also a man of great sentiment and righteousness, and naturally had even more praise for Ye Feng.

  The two families merged and rushed together towards Qianzhou City.

  Arriving at Qianzhou City was already in the late afternoon, the trial of the five major family clans would begin on the second day, and at that time, the Wanghai Sect would send someone to observe and then select talented young disciples to enter the Wanghai Sect for cultivation.
