Chapter 997: Chapter 1038: Gathering Storm

"Brother Yifei, long ti no see!" At the entrance of the restaurant, just as Li Yifei and Su ngxin got out of the car, they saw Wei Zijun also just getting out of his car. Wei Zijun seed very enthusiastic, taking the initiative to greet Li Yifei.

As Li Yifei walked over, he laughed and said, "Young Master Wei graces Mile City with his presence without a prior notice, and I haven’t had the chance to show the hospitality of the host, which is really rude of ."

As they approached each other, Wei Zijun shook Li Yifei’s hand enthusiastically for a couple of tis and said, "I just arrived this morning and was thinking of contacting Brother Yifei. I didn’t expect that Song Zhentao had already contacted you first, making

seem passive. I’ll have to have a good talk with him later."

To outsiders, Li Yifei and Wei Zijun must have seed like old friends for many years, but who knew that they had only t once before?

Li Yifei smiled and asked, "Mile City isn’t very large; Young Master Wei, you’ve co all this way. It couldn’t be that you’ve also taken a fancy to our little place, could it?"

Wei Zijun glanced at Su ngxin and said, "Brother Yifei, I won’t hide it from you; ngxin has always been my idol, my mind full of fantasies about her. I’ve never quite understood how she could be with you, so I ca here to see if there’s sothing special about Mile City and to get to know you better. I want to see just how impressive you are to have ngxin by your side. Be careful, this ti I’m here with no good intentions, I’m here to pursue ngxin."

Li Yifei laughed and said, "ngxin is such an excellent woman, and there are indeed too many n who like her. Young Master Wei, I admire that you can say this directly to

instead of stabbing

in the back."

"I, Wei Zijun, regardless of winning or losing, choose to act openly and honorably; I would never engage in villainous acts."

Su ngxin ca over and hooked her arm through Li Yifei’s, smiling as she said, "Young Master Wei, I’m afraid you’re going to be disappointed."

"ngxin, matters of the heart are unpredictable. I, Wei Zijun, may not be as emotionally rich as Brother Yifei. When I like a woman, I’m completely devoted. All other won might as well be air to , ha... Brother Yifei, I’m not criticizing you; I’m just stating a fact."

Li Yifei smiled slightly and said, "I understand. Young Master Wei, having a competitor like you is sothing I quite enjoy. Life is feared as lonely as snow."

"I feel the sa. A woman worth winning without competition is not the finest of won. Only when there are more rivals can it prove she’s truly exceptional. The stronger the competitors, the more worthy the woman is of being pursued."

"Young Master Wei, Young Master Li, Miss Su, you’ve all arrived already, and here I am, the host, arriving late, which is really rude," Song Zhentao joined them at that mont, hurriedly coming over to greet them. Being the most influential person in Mile City didn’t give him any sense of superiority in front of these three; in fact, he even had to be a bit careful not to offend them, or else it could impact his political career.

Wei Zijun laughed heartily and said, "Secretary Song, you are really too polite. I will still be doing business on your turf, relying on your care, so I must flatter this great secretary."

Though polite, Wei Zijun clearly did not lower his stance and still held a dominant air over Song Zhentao.

Having beco Municipal Party Secretary at just under fifty, Song Zhentao was extrely capable and could feel the undercurrents, his deep political acun preventing him from showing any displeasure. He smiled and said, "Young Master Wei, you flatter

too much. After all, I’m just a small-city Municipal Party Secretary, nowhere comparable to scions of great families like you. In the future, you will be pillars of the country, and I might have to rely on your support."

"That’s mutual benefit for us. With a good leader like Secretary Song, no wonder ngxin doesn’t want to leave Mile City. It seems my choice is quite wise."

"Of course, oh, Young Master Gu and Young Master ng have also arrived."

Two more cars arrived; Gu Yanan and ng Qianjun got out of them.

Gu Yanan was a refined and cultivated man, not very tall, with a pale face and sowhat thin build, wearing gold-rimd glasses, giving him a scholarly appearance; ng Qianjun, on the hand, was 185 cm tall, with a muscular build, hair standing on end, wearing a tight tank top that accentuated his physique, and a vivid tiger tattoo on his arm. At first glance, he looked like he belonged to the Underworld, which no one would guess that he was from a prominent family.

"ngxin, long ti no see, you’ve beco even more beautiful!" ng Qianjun strided over and loudly greeted Su ngxin first.

Su ngxin flashed a faint smile and said, "Young Master ng is becoming more and more formidable."

ng Qianjun flexed his arms, and the muscles imdiately bulged as he proudly said, "It’s ngxin who has an eye for talent."

At this mont, Gu Yanan also ca over and said to Su ngxin, "Miss Su, hello."

Su ngxin politely greeted, "Young Master Gu, hello."

These two n seed more acquainted with ng Qianjun and Su ngxin, but in reality, Gu Yanan had had more interactions with Su ngxin in the past than ng Qianjun had.

Su ngxin, holding Li Yifei’s arm, said, "Husband, let

introduce you. This is Gu Yanan from Capital City’s Gu Family and this is ng Qianjun from ng Family. Both are the most distinguished talents of their respective families. This is my husband, Li Yifei."

Li Yifei shook hands with Gu Yanan first, both nodding at each other; Gu Yanan held a polite, calm smile on his face.

Then, Li Yifei shook hands with ng Qianjun. As soon as ng Qianjun grabbed Li Yifei’s hand, veins popped out on his arm, and he said nacingly, "Kid, you’re sothing else, crushing my little brother to death just like that. We’ll have to settle this account later."

Li Yifei smiled faintly and said, "If there’s an account, we’re not afraid to settle it. Since Young Master ng is so inclined, I, Li Yifei, will definitely keep you company."

ng Qianjun’s face twitched slightly, then he released his hand and said, "You’re really strong, rightfully the top figure of the Flying Hawk Squad. I’m no match for you."

Li Yifei smiled and replied, "Young Master ng is too modest. I didn’t expect you to know the internal martial arts, and to be so powerful at that."

The two had just tested each other’s strength with a handshake, and Li Yifei’s words were not just polite remarks. ng Qianjun truly was extrely strong, especially in his internal strength. Li Yifei had wanted to probe further, but ng Qianjun had backed off already. Even in that brief testing, ng Qianjun showed strength nearly on par with Yifei, or perhaps it was that Yifei didn’t yet fully grasp the breadth of ng Qianjun’s strength.

In recent tis, Li Yifei had encountered many from influential families who showed great strength. However, undoubtedly, ng Qianjun was the strongest, owning rightfully his haughtiness. That information from Su ngxin was not entirely accurate, and without this real confrontation, Yifei would not have imagined a young man from a major family possessed such formidable abilities.

ng Qianjun, too, was quite surprised. Gifted from a young age, he had easily cultivated True Qi. The ng Family had arranged nurous experts to teach him, making him a supre expert before he turned sixteen. He had secretly challenged several true masters and had always erged victorious, including a forr leader of the Flying Hawk Squad.

Thus, ng Qianjun had always considered himself the strongest. With increasing strength over the years, his confidence only grew. Even knowing Li Yifei’s strength, he had not thought of him as exceptionally powerful.

ng Qianjun, ambitious and resolute, disapproved of many family practices. For instance, when ng Xiaojun joined the Battle Bear Squad, he had strongly objected, feeling it unwise to let a diocre person join such a unit. However, his family, seeking control, never considered his advice.

Although ng Xiaojun was his cousin, ng Qianjun had no fondness for his arrogant, incapable cousin. Even if Li Yifei had killed ng Xiaojun, he bore no real resentnt toward Li Yifei. Yet, ng Xiaojun’s death was a matter of the ng family’s reputation. Despite suppression internally, if the ng family did not retaliate at all, their prestige would diminish. Therefore, he had to confront Li Yifei and make him pay.

As a key figure in a major family, his actions couldn’t be as indiscriminate as those spoiled heirs; thus, his aim was to deal with Li Yifei through an honorable manner. But after this initial testing, he surprisingly found that Li Yifei might not only be his equal but could also be slightly stronger, which excited him imnsely.

Though the two had rely exchanged pleasantries, they both felt a strong interest in each other, eyes gleaming with eagerness—an admiration between formidable opponents.

And with this brief interaction, Li Yifei felt the distinctiveness of these three, incomparable to those spoiled heirs he knew before. These were formidable opponents indeed, making Mile City likely to surge with action and beco extraordinarily lively with their presence.

Just then, another car arrived, and the saintly woman, not seen for many days, reappeared. Her presence imdiately caught the attention of Wei Zijun and the others, leaving them stunned despite their strong ntal fortitude. Indeed, there was another woman comparable to Su ngxin in this world.
