Chapter 26: The Live-in Son-in-Law

Standing in front of a houses, Long Feng looked at Hou Li before asking.

"You said that your brother knows about him, hmm?"

"Yes."

Hou Li quickly nodded as he pointed toward the young man standing beside him, telling him to speak quickly.

The young man’s facial features looked somewhat similar to Hou Li. However, his face was much younger. He was Hou Li’s young brother, Hou Ming.

Looking at the Long Feng’s somewhat cold expression, the Hou brothers were nervous.

"I knows someone who is from the same city as Ye Wuxie. That person knows much more about him than I do."

Hou Ming quickly explained on his side.

"Then take me to him."

Long Feng’s expression relaxed slightly. He didn’t expect them to really know something useful about Ye Wuxie.

"Yes, Senior Brother."

The three of them quickly left. After some time, they finally arrived at another house in the outer disciple residential area.

"So this is the place he lived."

"Yes, yes. that’s it." Hou Ming nodded quickly like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Good, then you two can leave now."

Hou Li and Hou Ming immediately turned around. They had no desire to remain near this terrifying senior brother.

Long Feng watched them leave before entering the house as if it were his own.

Inside the main hall, three young men were sitting together. The moment he entered, all three immediately noticed him.

When they saw Long Feng’s inner disciple robes and the Third-Rank Alchemist Badge on his chest, their expressions immediately became respectful.

"Senior Brother. May I ask what you need?"

But Long Feng completely ignored their polite greeting. His gaze swept across the three people, before he asked in his cold voice.

"Which one of you is Jia Xing?"

The three exchanged glances, then one of them immediately stepped forward.

"That’s me."

Long Feng’s lips curved upward.

"So you’re Jia Xing."

He walked toward him. Then, as if they were old friends, Long Feng casually placed one arm around Jia Xing’s shoulder.

"I have something to discuss with you."

Jia Xing’s expression slightly changed. He clearly didn’t like Long Feng’s attitude.

However, he didn’t dare to say anything. After all, Long Feng was an inner disciple, while he was only a newly admitted outer disciples. The power gap between them was enormous.

But Long Feng ignored his displeased look, instead he suddenly looked toward the other two.

"Don’t you two have any manners? I’m talking with him about some private matters, so why don’t you two get out of this place."

The two young men were stunned with sudden roar, they exchanged the look before run out.

Soon, only Long Feng and Jia Xing remained inside the hall and the door closed.

Jia Xing’s expression gradually became unpleasant. He had been arrogant since childhood and never liked being treated this way.

But because of Long Feng’s status, he had endured it.

However, Long Feng’s next words became even harsher.

"I heard you know Ye Wuxie."

Hearing the familiar name, Jia Xing’s eyes flashed with hatred.

"Yes."

"Then tell me everything you know about him."

However, his attitude made Jia Xing frowned who didn’t answered his question.

"Do I need to repeat myself?" Long Feng’s eyes narrowed.

"Senior Brother, although you’re an inner disciple, this is still the outer disciple area."

Jia Xing’s expression became cold. He shake off his hand upon his shoulders and stood in front of him.

"Then?"

"You shouldn’t treat people like this."

Long Feng didn’t answer, but his soul power suddenly surged.

Boom!

An invisible force descended upon Jia Xing. His expression instantly changed.

"What..."

His knees weakened, almost making him kneel down on the ground. The terrifying soul pressure made it difficult for him to breathe.

Long Feng walked toward the main chair and sat down casually. Then he pointed toward the ground in front of him.

"Why are you still standing, sit down."

Jia Xing’s face became extremely ugly.

But the terrifying soul pressure continued pressing down. His body was eventually forced to the ground.

Satisfied, Long Feng looked down at him.

The arrogant outer disciple who had been standing proudly a moment ago was now sitting on the floor in front of him.

"Now... let’s talk properly."

Jia Xing clenched his fists. His eyes were filled with anger, but he didn’t dare to resist, rather he couldn’t.

Long Feng leaned slightly forward.

"Tell me about Ye Wuxie."

Jia Xing opened his mouth. But before he could speak, the door suddenly opened and a young woman hurriedly walked inside.

"Brother, I—"

Her voice suddenly stopped. She froze halfway through her sentence.

Her eyes immediately landed on Long Feng, then on her brother who was sitting on the floor in front of him.

The atmosphere inside the room suddenly became strange.

The woman’s expression slowly changed as she finally realized that something was very wrong.

Long Feng also turned his head in frustration.

It happens every single time he tries to do something important. Right at that exact second, someone walks in and leaves the door wide open!

His eyes landed on the newcomer, and a strange glint flashed through them. It seemed that his interrogation of Jia Xing was about to be interrupted by an unexpected visitor.

Long Feng frowned slightly.

"How many more are there?"

His interrogation had been interrupted at the most crucial moment, leaving him somewhat displeased. He turned his attention back to Jia Xing and questioned him coldly.

"S-she is my younger sister," Jia Xing stammered.

"Oh?"

Long Feng raised an eyebrow.

He glanced toward the young woman standing hesitantly at the entrance.

She appeared to be a young adult, with long, dark hair flowing down her back and delicate facial features. Her bright eyes carried a hint of nervousness, while her fair complexion and graceful figure gave her an elegant appearance.

Even dressed simply, she possessed a natural beauty that immediately caught Long Feng’s attention.

For a brief moment, even Long Feng was surprised.

He hadn’t expected Jia Xing to have such a beautiful younger sister. His eyes narrowed slightly before a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Since you’re his sister, why are you still standing there? Come here."

He casually gestured toward the seat beside him.

Jia Hui hesitated, glanced at her brother, but his head lowered. Under the invisible soul pressure Long Feng was exerting, he couldn’t dare to say anything.

Seeing that Jia Hui still hadn’t moved, Long Feng’s eyes narrowed. ℯℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"Do I need to ask twice?"

Jia Hui’s expression became slightly nervous. Having no option, she could only follow this stranger inner disciple’s order.

She slowly took a few steps forward, but when she reached Long Feng, she hesitated again.

But he didn’t give her another chance to refuse, reached out and grabbed her wrist. Before she could react, he pulled her toward him and made her sit directly on his lap.

"Ah!"

Jia Hui let out a startled cry. Her delicate body stiffened instantly.

"Y-you..."

Jia Hui’s face flushed with embarrassment as she instinctively tried to move away.

However, Long Feng calmly held her in place.

"Stop struggling."

His voice was neither loud nor harsh, but the authority within it immediately made Jia Hui freeze.

Now that she was this close, he could see her features even more clearly. Her long black hair fell over her shoulders, framing her delicate face, while her clear eyes were filled with nervousness and confusion.

A faint smile appeared on Long Feng’s lips.

"Not bad."

His hand went around her waist, his palm resting upon her thighs as feeling her soft flesh.

Jia Hui’s face became even redder. But Long Feng ignored her and shifted his attention back to Jia Xing.

"Why did you stop talking? Tell me now."

"I..."

Jia Xing swallowed hard.

The other party was playing with his sister in front of him, insulting him, that made him angry. But the pressure surrounding him made it difficult for him to breathe properly.

Clenched his fists beneath his sleeves, he took a deep breath before finally speaking.

"Ye Wuxie is nothing more than a useless prodigal son, wasted his days indulging in pleasure and causing trouble. In the eyes of everyone in the city, he was nothing more than trash who is only reached at third level of Qi Refining at the age of sixteen."

But his reply made Long Feng’s expression strange.

"Then how did someone like that become an inner disciple of the Azura Heaven Sect?"

The description he was telling, and the person he seen, they didn’t match each other.

That Ye Wuxie’s talent was a genius who could fight above his level, even Long Feng had to admit that his talent was far better than himself.

Jia Xing’s voice carried a hint of bitterness.

"That’s all started six months ago, when his luck suddenly changed. He became the live-in son-in-law of the Su Family."

"Live-in son-in-law?"

If the previous words surprised him, then this one made Long Feng shocked beyond words.

"Yes."

Jia Xing nodded dishearteningly, then he continue.

"God knows what happens to Su family Patriarch, who weds that Ye Wuxie with his only daughter, Su Lingxue."

At the mention of that name, Jia Xing’s expression twisted.

For a moment, his face flushed with hatred.

Su Lingxue was famous throughout their home city for her beauty. She was also the daughter of the Su Family Patriarch, making her status extraordinary.

Jia Xing had once admired her from afar. But now, he could barely hide the hatred in his heart.

Unable to show his resentment to Long Feng, he could only blame Ye Wuxie.

In his mind, if it weren’t for that man, none of this would have happened.

"From that day onward, his cultivation began to increase at an astonishing speed. Just one month later, he passed the outer disciple entrance examination of the Azura Heaven Sect with me and somehow became a top disciple. Now, he has already become an inner disciple."

Long Feng stared at Jia Xing for several seconds. Suddenly, a strange feeling emerged in his mind.

Why this story had been giving him such a familiar feeling?

This was practically the standard beginning of a classic protagonist’s story.

For a moment, Long Feng felt a faint sense of danger.

If Ye Wuxie really was one of those classic protagonists, then there was probably some kind of extraordinary opportunity behind his sudden rise.
