Chapter 107
As soon as she said that, before Elder Lei could speak, Jiang Yifeng’s expression instantly darkened.
Not appearing in Licheng for ten years? How is that even possible?
Setting everything else aside, consider this: Jiang Yifeng’s most prominent foundation, the Fengchen Group, was a local enterprise in Licheng.
Not allowing him to set foot in Licheng for ten years would be like cutting off one of Jiang Yifeng’s arms.
Moreover, in Licheng right now, Jiang Yifeng had already t many won who could help him unlock the Heavenly dical Sacred Body. Wouldn’t he have to start over again if he went to another city?
He could not accept that outco!
Jiang Yifeng spoke coldly, his gaze sharp as a blade.
“Xuan Yuan Qingya, don’t go too far. When it cos down to it, I had no malicious intent. I only wanted to keep your Fourth Uncle alive. Besides, I haven’t done anything yet. On what grounds do you demand that I stay out of Licheng for ten years?”
Jiang Yifeng’s words carried the weight of iron, as if he truly held the moral high ground.
Xuan Yuan Qingya let out a cold laugh, unwilling to waste any more words on him.
“Elder Lei, what do you think about this matter? Can you agree to my condition on behalf of the Jiang family?”
“This…” Elder Lei hesitated for a mont, glancing at Jiang Yifeng, then at Xuan Yuan Xing.
Elder Lei hesitated for a mont, glancing first at Jiang Yifeng and then at Xuan Yuan Xing. Finally, he spoke in a deep voice.
“Xiao Ya, this matter is indeed far too serious. How about this? This old man can offer a different condition on behalf of the Jiang family. What do you think?”
Xuan Yuan Qingya nodded calmly, neither humble nor arrogant.
“Please, Elder Lei, go ahead.”
“Within the next ten years, Jiang Yifeng must retreat and keep his distance whenever he encounters you or Xing lady. If a conflict of interest arises between you two, he must yield. What do you think of this condition?”
Elder Lei was truly exhausted. If soone higher up hadn’t given the order, he wouldn’t have bothered ddling in this ss at all!
Now, however, it seed he really had no other choice.
If Xuan Yuan Qingya still refused to agree after hearing these words, then Elder Lei could only bring the Jiang family into this and let them resolve the matter themselves.
As for Jiang Yifeng’s safety, there shouldn’t be any major problems with that little princess of the Jiang family around. Whether he would truly be barred from appearing in Licheng for ten years, however, was another matter entirely.
Upon hearing Elder Lei’s words, Xuan Yuan Qingya’s gaze instinctively shifted toward the room next door, where Lin Tian was. She quickly averted her gaze as if nothing had happened.
Her reason for wanting Jiang Yifeng banned from Licheng had nothing to do with the Xuan Yuan family. It was entirely for Lin Tian.
Since Lin Tian wanted to avoid Jiang Yifeng, would he stay if she drove Jiang Yifeng out of Licheng?
With that thought in mind, she made such a request.
However, it now seed that this demand wouldn’t be so easy to fulfill. After all, Jiang Yifeng’s entire foundation was rooted in Licheng—there was no way he would willingly withdraw.
Still, if she could make him retreat whenever he saw her in the future, that would be a decent outco.
Whether this condition could truly be enforced would be the mont to test the strength of the Xuan Yuan family.
Such an agreent would usually pose no problems.
If Jiang Yifeng’s power failed to grow strong enough, he would have to retreat wherever the Xuan Yuan family wanted. If he refused, the Xuan Yuan family would have every reason to annihilate him.
Even the Jiang family stepping in wouldn’t help by that point!
At the level at which the Jiang family operates, they value such verbal agreents even more. They wouldn’t casually go back on their word. After all, the Jiang family’s reputation was far more important than Jiang Yifeng’s life.
If Jiang Yifeng’s power grew strong enough, these verbal agreents would naturally collapse.
Everything in this world has two sides. All Xuan Yuan Qingya wanted was an excuse to protect Lin Tian in the future.
After a mont of thought and a glance at her mother, she agreed without hesitation.
“Very well, Elder Lei. Let’s do as you said. From now on, I don’t want to see Jiang Yifeng wherever I am. If I see him once, I’ll have the mbers of the Star Group hunt him down!”
When she said “hunt down,” Xuan Yuan Qingya’s voice held a chilling aura of blood and steel.
As the saying goes, “There are no weak heirs in a general’s household.” After all, Xuan Yuan Xing was the fierce woman who founded the Star Group single-handedly. How could her daughter be any different?
Xuan Yuan Qingya cast a cold glance at Jiang Yifeng and sneered.
“Jiang Yifeng, I hope you honor this agreent. Otherwise, when the ti cos, not even the Jiang family will be able to save you. Do you understand?”
Jiang Yifeng’s face turned as dark as the abyss, and his eyes brimd with fury and hatred.
At this point, however, he held no advantage, neither in strength nor in reason. How could he possibly fight Xuan Yuan Qingya?
Humiliated, he nodded slightly and forced out his words.
“I, Jiang Yifeng, admit—”
“Admit defeat? Good. Now get lost! Or do you want to send you off in a grand sedan chair?”
Xuan Yuan Qingya’s voice was icy and devoid of courtesy as she angrily spat out the words.
Jiang Yifeng gave her a long, deep look. Then, he swept his gaze across everyone in the ward. Finally, he turned and walked out without another word.
Behind him, Xuan Yuan Xing spoke softly.
“Send a few people to escort Jiang Yifeng. Don’t let him pull any tricks.”
Several mbers of the Star Group remained silent, following Jiang Yifeng without a word. As if escorting a prisoner, they “delivered” him to the gates of the Xuan Yuan family’s castle.
Every gaze they encountered along the way felt like a sharp blade stabbing Jiang Yifeng in the heart.
Despite his composure, cultivation, and scheming, he completely lost it at that mont!
The main thing was…
This was too humiliating!
Before coming to this castle, Jiang Yifeng had envisioned adding Xuan Yuan Qingya to his harem. If the opportunity arose, he considered seizing the Xuan Yuan family’s assets — and perhaps even the Star Group itself.
Now, however, he was like a stray dog. He was not only driven out, but also escorted out under heavy guard by several Star Group mbers.
In his more than twenty years of life, Jiang Yifeng had never experienced such humiliation!
Xuan Yuan Xing, Xuan Yuan Qingya, and Shang Yan, you all just wait!
Jiang Yifeng seethed with hatred inwardly, his face still shrouded in a dark, stormy gloom.
Even after he stepped out of the Xuan Yuan family’s castle gates, the Star Group mbers continued to watch him closely, as if he were a thief. Finally, as Jiang Yifeng’s feet crossed the threshold, a Star Group mber who was apparently aware of the whole story suddenly spat at him!
The man cursed under his breath.
“You shaless, overreaching dog! You dare set your sights on the young lady and the Fourth Master? Get lost!”
The other Star Group mbers cast looks of utter disdain at Jiang Yifeng.
Jiang Yifeng almost had a heart attack from pure rage.
After all, he was the dignified major shareholder and chairman of the Fengchen Group and the heir to the dical Saint’s legacy. When did a lowly Star Group employee beco entitled to insult him?
At that mont, Jiang Yifeng felt as if he had swallowed a lump of filth. He was utterly nauseated yet powerless to do anything about it.
The gates of the Xuan Yuan family’s castle slowly closed behind him. Only then did he realize,
Damn it! This place is in the middle of nowhere. How the hell am I supposed to get back?
“You could at least give a car!”
Jiang Yifeng roared with helpless fury.
The Star Group mbers laughed mockingly from inside.
“Run back on foot! You dared to sche against our young lady and Fourth Master, and you still want a car? Be grateful we didn’t break your legs!”
Jiang Yifeng’s face turned from green to red as his blood surged violently through his body. The next mont, he coughed up a small amount of blood.
He had the rare Heavenly Sacred Body physique, which made him different from ordinary people since childhood.
Although the Heavenly Sacred Body had not yet been unlocked, Jiang Yifeng was, in a sense, already soone who possessed extraordinary power. It wouldn’t be wrong to call him a cultivator.
Consud by rage and repeatedly humiliated by several Star Group mbers, Jiang Yifeng felt his blood surging uncontrollably. He felt a stifling pressure in his chest that he had to release, but when he did, blood ca out instead.
One could say that the scenarios described in web novels and fiction aren’t entirely baseless.
In extre situations, a person could truly be scared to death or cough up blood from sheer anger.
If Lin Tian were here, he would probably be utterly astonished to see Jiang Yifeng in this state!
After all, he witnessed a woman faint and suffocate from fright earlier today. Seeing Jiang Yifeng cough up blood from sheer anger would truly broaden his life experience.
