The Zhao family had invited many family members to this banquet, including those from the four major families.
Of course, the most significant guests were the old families of Jiangcheng, who were the most low-key but also the most powerful, the Wan family.
As of now, the young master of the Lin family, one of the four major families, had already accepted their invitation.
Therefore, this time, to highlight their Zhao family's strength, they had inflated their egos and booked the banquet venue at the Cloudtop Hotel.
Cloudtop Hotel, third floor.
This was also the venue for the birthday banquet tonight.
The Zhao family's old matriarch, wearing a dark red qipao, sat at the head of the table, her face flushed with happiness.
As time passed, more and more people arrived in the hall to offer their congratulations.
Everyone was discussing the Zhao family's decision to hold the banquet at the Cloudtop Hotel.
Especially those acquaintances who knew the Zhao family's actual situation were surprised several times in their hearts.
By the time Ye Fei and the others arrived, the hall was already packed with people.
"Yaoyao, my dear granddaughter, you're finally here!"
When He Jingyao brought Ye Fei to the old matriarch, the old woman, who had previously shown no interest in herself, suddenly became extremely enthusiastic, pulling He Jingyao's hand and refusing to let go.
He Jingyao could only force a smile and then subtly pulled her hand away.
"Grandma, let me introduce you, this is my friend, Ye Fei."
He Jingyao immediately introduced Ye Fei to her grandmother, but her grandmother, dressed in the dark red qipao, completely ignored Ye Fei, not even giving him a glance.
Ye Fei was not angered. He merely sneered and walked away.
"Granddaughter, you're finally here! You must stay at your uncle's house for a few more days today!"
He Jingyao's eldest uncle ran over enthusiastically and blocked her path to Ye Fei.
He Jingyao felt very strange. This was too unusual.
This was not her first time visiting her grandmother's house, but it was the first time she had received such attention.
At this moment, her face showed no relief. Instead, her heart sank.
"Uncle, I'm going to find my friend first!"
He Jingyao said, unwilling to talk to him further.
As she spoke, her uncle winked in the direction of Zhao Yu.
Then Ye Fei was directly pulled by a group of people to a corner in the distance.
With a bang, even the door was closed.
Ye Fei directly raised his arms, wanting to see what they intended to do with him.
"Kid, remember this, stay away from Yaoyao today!"
"If I see you following her like a shadow again, we will definitely teach you a lesson!"
Zhao Yu directly feinted a punch at Ye Fei's head with his fist.
"Oh, what if I insist on staying by her side? What can you do to me?"
Ye Fei asked back with a look of confusion.
"Hmph, kid, don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. With so many brothers here, are we afraid of a small fry like you?"
"Hahaha, brothers, don't you think so?"
Zhao Yu laughed heartily, full of sarcasm.
"Big brother, why are you talking so much to him? Does he dare to resist?"
"I heard Aunt say that this kid is relying on the marriage contract he has with Yaoyao and shamelessly refusing to leave, repeatedly defying Aunt."
"Since that's the case, shall we teach this kid a lesson for Aunt? I've just learned a new boxing technique from my teacher, and I'll try it out now."
Zhao Yu's cousin, the son of He Jingyao's second maternal uncle, Zhao Kang, was eager to try.
"Don't hit his face, hit his body!"
"It's fine to teach him a lesson!"
Zhao Yu nodded.
"Alright, you guys just wait for me to beat him until his teeth are all over the floor!"
Zhao Kang's expression turned cold, and he directly put on the prepared boxing gloves and lunged at Ye Fei.
"Kid, if you're willing to kneel down now, kowtow to me three times, and call me grandpa three times, I might hit you a few less punches, how about that?"
Zhao Kang narrowed his eyes, playing around with Ye Fei.
It was like a cat playing with a mouse, completely toying with Ye Fei.
"How dare you!"
"I've roamed the martial world for so long, and you're not the first person to dare to challenge me, but you're the first one to make me kneel and call you grandpa!"
"Good, very good!"
"Since that's the case, I won't be polite either!"
"Young man, today I'll teach you a lesson, judging by appearance alone will lead to great losses!"
Ye Fei's eyes turned cold, and then he charged forward at the fastest speed.
Before Zhao Kang could even prepare for battle, Ye Fei kicked him flying. Then, several silver needles were drawn, directly piercing several important acupoints on Zhao Kang's body.
In an instant, Zhao Kang became completely immobile!
This was simply a disgrace, a huge disgrace!
"Big brother, this kid is a bit strange, I can't move!"
"What should we do? I can't move!"
Zhao Kang said in a panic.
"Don't be afraid, I'll let this kid release you now!"
Zhao Yu first calmed Zhao Kang a few words, then looked at Ye Fei along with the others, including the bodyguards.
"Little beast, what exactly did you do to my cousin?"
"I advise you to release my cousin immediately, or you will die a horrible death!"
Zhao Yu threatened menacingly.
"Do you think I'm afraid of a rabble like you?"
"Just come at me!"
"If I even bat an eyelid, consider me defeated!"
Ye Fei stood with his sword in hand, his gaze sharply sweeping over everyone present.
"Good, very good, it seems you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin!"
"All of you, go up and teach this little beast a good lesson. Just leave him with a breath!"
Zhao Yu's face was sinister, and he gave the order.
Apart from Zhao Yu and the other two young masters, the remaining five bodyguards raised their electric batons and charged at Ye Fei.
The combat effectiveness of these five people was insignificant compared to Ye Fei.
When they collectively rushed forward and surrounded Ye Fei, he quickly snatched an electric baton from one of them and then struck the five of them in succession.
A moment later, these five people were electrocuted and knocked unconscious.
"Little beast, don't come any closer!"
"If you come any closer, I'll call for help!"
Zhao Yu had not expected his bodyguards to be so easily defeated. Seeing Ye Fei approaching step by step, the few of them instinctively retreated.
"What, weren't you going to teach me a lesson?"
"Come on, let me fight you!"
"Coward!"
Seeing how cowardly they were, Ye Fei sneered, threw away the electric baton, and prepared to walk outside.
