Where did this young man come from?
Ye Fei did not hide anything, but gave a concise explanation.
Upon learning that Ye Fei's supreme card came from Elder Qi, Su Qianqian finally understood.
"So that's how it is."
"Then this weapon is yours for free."
Su Qianqian made the final decision.
As for the man in the black brocade robe, he was almost so angry that his nose was crooked.
He never expected this poor boy to have such incredible luck!
After successfully obtaining the weapon, Ye Fei planned to leave immediately.
He also returned the supreme card to Su Qianqian's hand.
"Farewell!"
Ye Fei clasped his fists.
Having achieved his objective, Ye Fei did not wish to linger any longer.
After all, he had been away from the Shangguan family for many days and needed to return to discuss further with the old man.
"Young hero, walk slowly!"
Su Qianqian had a good impression of Ye Fei. Although Ye Fei's cultivation was not high at the moment, she had a premonition that Ye Fei would soar in the future. Therefore, building a good relationship with him now was the best strategy.
Ignoring the furious expression of the man in the black brocade robe, Ye Fei directly left the third floor and headed towards the Shangguan family.
With his objective achieved, Ye Fei was overjoyed, and even hummed a tune on his way back.
Finally, two hours later, he returned to the Shangguan family.
The old master Shangguan was painting when he heard the commotion at the door and instinctively looked up.
Seeing Ye Fei, whom he had not seen for many days, Old Master Shangguan's face lit up with joy, and he said.
"Xiao Fei, you're finally back!"
"How did your cultivation advance so rapidly?"
Old Master Shangguan's eyes widened, almost disbelieving what he saw.
It was truly too fast.
After all, when Ye Fei first arrived, he was only at the early stage of the first level of Qi refining. Yet, in less than half a month, he had broken through to the peak of the second level of Qi refining.
This was simply unheard of!
Of course, he also felt a sense of relief.
Recalling the prophecy, he eagerly hoped Ye Fei would become powerful quickly.
"What, old man, are you shocked by my leveling speed?"
Ye Fei was quite smug at this moment, feeling that his efforts and suffering over the past few days were not in vain.
"Old Master, it's just the two of us here, so let's be direct!"
"You know that your granddaughter and I have no feelings for each other. Can you bear to see your granddaughter unhappy her entire life?"
"If I were you, I would cancel our engagement right now and set us both free. What do you say?"
Ye Fei persuaded him gently.
Shangguan Hong, being an old and shrewd man, could not fail to understand his meaning. However, Ye Fei was now their family's only hope.
After a moment of thought, he decided to reveal everything.
He sighed a few times and then said.
"Xiao Fei, to be honest, if I had a choice, I would surely set you both free."
"But with the prophecy, I can only shamelessly ask you to be our Shangguan family's grandson-in-law."
Then, Shangguan Hong directly told Ye Fei the content of the prophecy.
Ye Fei was somewhat speechless upon hearing the prophecy.
"Within three years, there will be a disaster of extermination?"
"And I am the key figure to break the deadlock?"
Ye Fei couldn't help but rub his forehead.
However, upon hearing that the master's prophecies were always accurate, Ye Fei's heart sank.
At the same time, he felt a greater sense of urgency.
As things stood, it seemed that unless the Shangguan family's crisis was resolved, the old man would not agree to return the marriage contract.
After much deliberation, Ye Fei could only agree.
"Old man, since that's the case, I can only agree."
"But after your Shangguan family's crisis is resolved, you must return the marriage contract to me as quickly as possible!"
"If you agree, then it's settled!"
Ye Fei said helplessly.
"Good, good, good, Xiao Fei, don't worry. As long as our Shangguan family's crisis is resolved, I will let you go immediately!"
"I, the old man, keep my word!"
Shangguan Hong immediately raised his hand and promised.
"Alright, then it's settled."
Ye Fei pouted, then regained his composure.
Afterward, Shangguan Hong introduced Ye Fei to the Shangguan family's businesses.
Their Shangguan family had a Divine Escort Agency in the desolate region, which provided services for transporting valuable items and providing escorts to customers.
Of course, this was not their only livelihood. They also had many shops selling food, clothing, and jewelry.
Finally, there was the medicine shop that had been open for many years.
Because their medicines were more affordable than those from the Pill Sect, they had always been able to sustain themselves.
However, due to their lack of more skilled alchemists, the shop had always been in a state of near-dormancy, merely able to support its employees.
As for making money, that was out of the question.
Now, the medicine shop was directly managed by Shangguan Xue'er.
"Old man, I know what you've said."
"Don't worry, since I've promised you, I will think of a way for this medicine shop."
Ye Fei reassured him.
Old Master Shangguan had a deep affection for the medicine shop.
Therefore, even though the shop had never made money, he had never considered closing it.
After concluding their discussion, Ye Fei returned directly to his room to rest.
He planned to visit the medicine shop tomorrow to assess the situation.
A night of good sleep.
Ye Fei finally regained his previous vitality.
Just as he finished breakfast, Shangguan Xue'er came directly to Ye Fei's side and said.
"My grandfather told me last night that for the next few days, I will take you to tour our family's businesses."
"Since you've finished breakfast, let's go!"
Shangguan Xue'er said expressionlessly.
"Beauty, I'm coming right away, right away!"
Ye Fei said with a smile and followed closely behind her. The two of them left the Shangguan family together.
"Master, the young lady has followed your instructions and taken Mr. Ye out."
The butler reported in real-time.
"Good, very good."
Old Master Shangguan's face was filled with joy, and he even ate an extra half bowl of rice.
Meanwhile, Ye Fei, following Shangguan Xue'er, rushed to the medicine shop.
It was already close to noon.
The surrounding shops were bustling with people, lively and crowded.
"Ye Fei, this is our Shangguan family's medicine shop."
"Come in!"
Shangguan Xue'er introduced.
Ye Fei strode directly inside.
