The Song family's residence in the capital was an estate-style villa located in the city. Not far from the main gate was a small square where many people gathered every morning to exercise, and so vendors sold breakfast.
Even though a high-ranking official lived here, the atmosphere was relaxed, and everyone went about their business as usual.
But this morning was different. The eyes of everyone in the square were drawn to a group of four people—one man and three won—who had just arrived. These four were none other than Ye Fei, Yan Ruyu, and the other two won, who had co early to gather more information about the Song family.
It was no surprise that they attracted attention. First, there was Yan Ruyu, whose natural allure made her the center of attention wherever she went.
Beside her was Song Xuan, who, though slightly less captivating than Yan Ruyu, was still a stunning beauty, her charm amplified by the glow of a woman who had recently been intimate.
Song Ci, though lacking in curves, had an irresistibly cute and innocent face, and her playful deanor in front of her mother and master made her especially appealing to certain types of n. As for Ye Fei—well, since the crowd was mostly n, he was pretty much ignored!
Looking at the bustling scene before him, Ye Fei's impression of the Song family improved slightly.
The fact that so many citizens could freely co and go near the villa suggested that the family wasn't domineering.
As for the people staring at his won, Ye Fei didn't mind much. After all, everyone appreciates beauty, and as long as the looks weren't lecherous, he was fine with simple admiration.
Still, sothing felt off to Ye Fei, though he couldn't quite put his finger on it. He decided to set the thought aside for now.
Since three of the four were mbers of the Song family, they weren't given a hard ti at the heavily guarded gate and were quickly let in.
As they stepped inside, Ye Fei felt as if he had entered another world. Compared to the lively scene outside, the estate was serene and quiet. He also noticed sothing interesting: in the middle of the large estate was a smaller, independent villa, like a garden within a garden.
"That's where the Song family lives. The rest of the estate is for the people responsible for their protection," Song Xuan explained to Ye Fei.
Ye Fei nodded, understanding the arrangent. After all, the Song patriarch was a key figure and deserved such thorough protection. However, what happened next was harder to accept. Despite having three Song family mbers in their group, they were stopped when trying to enter the smaller villa.
"Sorry, this is a private area. Please don't trespass," the guard said politely, but his tone left no room for argunt.
The three won's expressions darkened. Song Ci was the first to react. "Are you blind? It's only been a few days, and you don't recognize anymore?" Song Ci wasn't the type to throw her weight around, but being barred from her own ho was too much for anyone to take.
The guard didn't get angry. Instead, he looked sowhat helpless and still spoke courteously. "I'm sorry, but these are the orders we've received."
Song Ci was about to continue berating him, but Ye Fei stopped her. He could tell this wasn't the guard's decision—he was just following orders.
"Call soone who can make decisions. We'll wait here," Ye Fei said calmly.
"Alright, I'll notify Mr. Song Qun right away," the guard said, relieved, and went back to the guardhouse to make the call.
Song Ci was still fuming, but Yan Ruyu seed to have realized sothing and quietly tried to calm her daughter down. anwhile, Song Xuan took the opportunity to explain who Song Qun was. "Song Qun wasn't originally a Song. He used to be my father's secretary, but after my father took him in as a godson, he changed his surna to Song."
Ye Fei nodded, already forming a judgnt of Song Qun. Soone who would abandon their family na for wealth and status couldn't be a good person.
It didn't take long for a seemingly amiable middle-aged man to erge from the villa. When he saw the four outside, he smiled. "Isn't this Miss Song Xuan?" His tone was laced with sarcasm.
Song Xuan's expression darkened. "Song Qun, what's the aning of this? Why won't you let into my own ho?"
"I'm sorry, Miss Song Xuan, but the patriarch issued an order last night. You're no longer considered part of the Song family. And anyone who has private contact with you is also cut off from the family," Song Qun said, his gaze shifting to Yan Ruyu, a hint of possessiveness in his eyes.
Seeing the look in Song Qun's eyes, Ye Fei's first reaction wasn't anger—it was heartache. If even a lowly figure like Song Qun dared to look at Yan Ruyu that way, it was clear how difficult her life had been all these years.
Song Ci glared at him. "So, you're saying my mother and I have also been kicked out of the Song family?"
"That's one way to put it, but it's not entirely set in stone. If your mother begs , I might put in a good word with the patriarch," Song Qun said, his eyes never leaving Yan Ruyu, his gaze growing increasingly lecherous.
"Master, I want to hit soone!" Song Ci turned to Ye Fei, ignoring Song Qun.
Ye Fei smiled. "Go ahead. Just rember, if you don't hit hard enough, you'll embarrass , and I might have to kick you out of the sect."
"Got it!" Song Ci's eyes lit up. With Ye Fei backing her, she wasn't afraid of anyone, not even her grandfather, let alone a dog like Song Qun.
Song Qun smirked, not believing anyone would dare to cause trouble here. But before he could utter a sarcastic remark, he felt a heavy blow to his chest. His vision went black as he was sent flying several ters and landed hard on the ground.
Song Ci wasn't done with him yet, but before continuing, she turned to Ye Fei for guidance. "Master, how far should I go?"
Ye Fei waved his hand, immobilizing the guards who wanted to intervene. He smiled and said, "Just make sure the part he used to offend you can no longer offend anyone."
"Huh?" Song Ci was montarily stunned. She understood what Ye Fei ant, but as a girl who wasn't particularly cruel, she hesitated. If Ye Fei had told her to break Song Qun's limbs or sothing, she could've done it without hesitation. But gouging out eyes or cutting off tongues wasn't sothing she could bring herself to do.
Seeing her hesitation, Ye Fei realized this wasn't a task for her. He didn't want his fierce yet adorable disciple to turn into a bloodthirsty killer. So, he chuckled and said, "I'll take care of it myself."
