Chapter 200: Chapter 200 About the Xu Family’s Old Ancestor
"Mr. Yang, please wait a moment."
Outside the Xu Family’s main gate, Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang walked away hand in hand with large strides, the anxious voices of Xu Mao and Xu Xingzhou trailing behind them.
Yang Fei stopped, turned back, and saw only two people following, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes.
The overall strength of the Xu Family was simply too strong, which is why they had such high standards and didn’t pay enough attention to him.
However, it didn’t matter, now that he knew how to cure the hidden danger, even if he didn’t collaborate with any sect or aristocratic family, he just needed to quickly restore his combat power to its peak; then he would be able to look down upon the entire Divine Continent Martial World.
"Mr. Yang, my third uncle is too impulsive, and the death of his son and grandson is why he acted like that; please don’t hold it against the Xu Family," Xu Mao explained to Yang Fei with an anxious face.
Although his status in the Xu Family wasn’t very high, he was still part of their core strength and was extremely loyal to the Xu Family.
After witnessing Yang Fei’s prowess that day, he felt even more strongly that the Xu Family should maintain a good relationship with Yang Fei, so he risked potential punishment from the family to come after him.
Xu Xingzhou also nodded earnestly and said, "Mr. Yang, although there were some misunderstandings when we first met, the time we spent together recently has deeply impressed me, and I truly consider you a friend, wanting to establish a friendly relationship between you and the Xu Family."
Seeing the sincerity in their expressions, Yang Fei nodded slightly and smiled, "I know, so although I’m disappointed today, I won’t be too upset. It’s a pity that both of you currently hold too low a status in the Xu Family to decide for the entire family."
Xu Xingzhou looked embarrassed and ashamed as he said, "Yes, we are too useless."
Xu Mao also gave a wry smile and said, "We made you laugh, Mr. Yang."
Yang Fei couldn’t be harsh on them and said, "Perhaps the fate between me and the Xu Family has not yet arrived. At least compared to that super aristocratic family in the Imperial City, the Xu Family leans more toward that family, so there’s no point in saying more today."
After a moment’s thought, Yang Fei’s eyes flashed with a spark of confidence as he said to them, "You two just stay with the Xu Family for now. With Xu Yunshan’s protection, I believe you will at most suffer a bit. Within no more than two months, the Xu Family will certainly come to you seeking my help."
Upon hearing this, Xu Mao’s and Xu Xingzhou’s expressions changed, looking at Yang Fei with a mix of surprise and uncertainty.
Yang Fei, with full confidence, did not elaborate further and said, "If you believe my words, just wait for two months."
Xu Mao and Xu Xingzhou had witnessed the negotiations between the family and Yang Fei collapse that day, and even saw Xu Xiao get injured by Yang Fei. They felt it was impossible for the Xu Family and Yang Fei to cooperate again.
However, seeing how confident Yang Fei was at that moment, they couldn’t help but become puzzled, not knowing what methods Yang Fei might have that could make the Xu Family come begging to him.
A glint of curiosity also appeared in Qin Yanyang’s eyes.
She had also seen the Xu Family’s attitude just now.
Xu Xiao was dead set on taking revenge for his son’s death.
Although Xu Yunshan and Xu Liangyou were interested in Yang Fei’s ability to enhance others’ strength, their attitude changed markedly when Yang Fei mentioned the Imperial Capital Zhang Family.
The Imperial Capital Zhang Family was simply too powerful; the Xu Family’s best chance to rise again in the Divine Continent was through their cooperation, and they would never agree to cut ties with the Zhang Family as Yang Fei had requested.
Yet his current confidence had made Qin Yanyang wonder what other cards he had up his sleeve.
After bidding farewell to Xu Mao and Xu Xingzhou, Yang Fei left the island with Qin Yanyang.
The Xu Family did not send experts to pursue them.
Considering Xu Xiao had been injured with one move, and both Xu Yunshan and Xu Liangyou had been deterred, they didn’t dare to act rashly.
Especially given Qin Yanyang’s identity, without the old ancestor of the Xu Family making an appearance, they didn’t dare to act recklessly.
At the very least, there was no need to turn against the Qin Family so soon.
Moreover, there was Yang Fei, who, in their hearts, possessed unfathomable strength.
Once they left the island by boat, both Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang let out a sigh of relief.
Then they smiled at each other.
Qin Yanyang asked, "Are you also worried that the old man from the Xu Family will chase after us?"
Yang Fei nodded, "Of course I’m worried. Although I just sent Xu Xiao flying with one punch, we know our own situation. If we fight a real Innate Realm expert, we won’t last more than a few moves before we can only think about escaping."
Qin Yanyang nodded gravely, "That’s true. The combat power of this elder from the Xu Family... is very strong."
Yang Fei’s heart stirred, "Even within the Innate Realm, there are differences in strength, right?"
Qin Yanyang looked at him with surprise and said with a smile, "Didn’t you say you are of the Innate Realm? Why ask this?"
Yang Fei chuckled, "I used to be a bit unclear about these realm classifications, and I haven’t really crossed hands with the powerhouses of the Divine Continent Martial World, so I don’t understand it very well."
Qin Yanyang still had some doubts about his true strength up until now.
Although she knew Yang Fei had hidden issues that made it difficult for him to exert his full combat power, she found it hard to accept that Yang Fei had already reached the Innate Realm.
That was too defying of the heavens, too monstrous.
She was already a cultivation prodigy once in a millennium, but there was still someone even more monstrous than her, which would affect her martial heart to a certain extent.
However, Qin Yanyang didn’t keep probing Yang Fei about this matter. Instead, she explained, "Just like the Energy Transformation Realm, the Innate Realm naturally has differences in strength. But this difference is more pronounced in actual combat, and since each person’s understanding of power is different and their dedication to martial arts varies, there can be a huge disparity in their strengths. Normally, this disparity isn’t too great, but there are some geniuses whose combat power is on par with the difference between me and the Peak of Energy Transformation Realm Ninth Rank."
Yang Fei nodded in understanding.
Qin Yanyang continued, "This elder from the Xu Family was once a martial artist with monstrous talent. After stepping into the Innate Realm, he challenged other Innate fighters and almost always emerged victorious. This eventually led many to envy and discontent, so they fabricated some charges against him. Combined with the Xu Family’s practice of Poison Skill, which made many in the Martial World apprehensive, the various powers of the Martial World ultimately united to force the Xu Family to leave the Divine Continent Martial World."
Yang Fei couldn’t help but show a hint of admiration, "This elder from the Xu Family is truly remarkable."
Qin Yanyang nodded slowly, "Yes, he practices Poison Skill, so his combat power is stronger than that of ordinary martial artists. Therefore, if he took action today, it would be very dangerous for the two of us, even if we worked together effectively."
Yang Fei suddenly looked at her, "Since you know all this, why did you still dare to take the risk and accompany me here?"
Qin Yanyang smiled faintly, looking directly into his eyes, "I am your wife. Knowing that you were coming to such a dangerous place, of course, I had to accompany you."
Yang Fei thought about the words he had said before.
To live and die together, to advance and retreat together.
He felt a surge of emotion inside and couldn’t help but hold her soft hand tighter, moved, he said, "Next time there is such a situation, you must tell me in advance; you can’t take risks any more."
Qin Yanyang smiled brightly, "A martial artist must strive. If one dares not face any risks during the process of growth, even if they do grow up, their martial heart won’t be strong enough. Besides, even if the elder from the Xu Family made a move today, it doesn’t necessarily mean we would be in trouble."
"Oh? Why’s that?" Yang Fei asked curiously.
"Because you are the disciple of the Fatty Taoist," Qin Yanyang said.
Yang Fei was startled, "You mean the elder from the Xu Family has a very good relationship with my master?"
Qin Yanyang said with a smile, "More than that, had it not been for the Fatty Taoist stepping in, the Xu Family’s exit from the Divine Continent Martial World wouldn’t have been so smooth. They would definitely have had to pay a huge price."
"Why didn’t you say so earlier?" Yang Fei said with a laugh, "If I had known this, I just needed to mention my master’s name, and the Xu Family would have been grateful and eager to cooperate with me."
Qin Yanyang looked at him and smiled, "Didn’t you say you wouldn’t ride on your master’s coattails? Besides, I think that even if the Fatty Taoist’s name was mentioned, at most, the Xu Family wouldn’t make things difficult for you, but it wouldn’t change their decision to cooperate with the Zhang Family."
Yang Fei nodded and said, "Right. Compared to a hermit who hasn’t been seen for many years, the Zhang Family, with its substantial strength, is the most worth cooperating with. And I, Yang Fei, act based on my own abilities. In less than two months, the Xu Family will certainly come to me again."
Curious at his confidence, Qin Yanyang couldn’t help but ask, "Can you recover within such a short time?"
Yang Fei shook his head, "I don’t know, but two months is enough to cure Zhu Tianshou."
Qin Yanyang’s expression changed, clearly very knowledgeable about this legendary figure from the Zhu Family, she exclaimed in shock, "You can cure Zhu Tianshou?"
