Chapter 326: Chapter 9: Shen Yu Yang’s Threat

Lin Feng and Shangguan Fei’er walked hand in hand down the street, garnering countless envious glances toward this golden couple.

Neither of them spoke, seeming to relish the atmosphere where silence was more profound than words.

As they neared the Shangguan Family’s estate, Shangguan Fei’er murmured, “I’m almost there.”

The Shangguan Family was no ordinary family.

The Mercenary Association, an organization spread across the Heavenly Martial Continent’s Three Thousand States, resembled auction houses scattered throughout various locations.

Behind the auction houses stood the Ancient Jiang Family from the Ancient Vermilion Bird Platform.

Naturally, there was also an ancient power behind the Mercenary Association.

It was said to be an undying heritage from the Ancient Era.

Shangguan Fei’er’s great-grandfather had reportedly served as a servant in this family for thirty years.

In his forties, he returned to True Martial Country, where he established a branch of the Mercenary Association.

Within True Martial Country, there were around a dozen Mercenary Association branches, and the one in the Mercenary Town where Shangguan Fei’er was from was one of them.

Every year, the Mercenary Association would amass vast wealth and make contributions upward.

The Shangguan Family had a heritage that had lasted seven or eight hundred years to date.

This generation’s Clan Leader was Shangguan Fei’er’s father, who was also the President of the True Martial Country’s Mercenary Association.

In the vast world of the Mercenary Association, the President of a Mercenary Association in a Mortal Kingdom like True Martial Country naturally could not be compared with those in great empires or ancient cities; yet, in True Martial Country, he was still a figure influential enough that a mere stomp of his foot could shake the earth three times.

“Say hello to aunt for me,” Lin Feng said with a smile.

Shangguan Fei’er’s cheeks reddened slightly—her mother did not even know she had a man yet, and sharing this would certainly be embarrassingly sweet.

“Jia, jia, jia, jia…”

Just then, a carriage approached from a distance.

Inside the carriage were two men.

One was a young master about seventeen or eighteen years old, around Lin Feng’s age.

The other appeared to be about twenty-five or twenty-six.

The young master of Shangguan Li’s age, from another mother yet same father as Shangguan Fei’er, was Shangguan Li.

The twenty-five or twenty-six-year-old was named Shen Yu Yang, the eldest son of the President of the Sky Dragon Commerce Association.

He was the elder brother of Shen Ziqing.

Unlike Shen Ziqing, who was a good-for-nothing heir, Shen Yu Yang, as another son of the President of the Sky Dragon Commerce Association, had already begun dealing with family business and was doing exceptionally well, earning significant trust from his father.

He would likely succeed as the head of the Sky Dragon Commerce Association.

Shangguan Li said with a smile, “Brother Shen, rest assured, this time, we’ll definitely facilitate your marriage to Shangguan Fei’er. This despicable woman dares to compete with my brother for the family’s inheritance, and she even has a few senile fools supporting her—it’s beyond laughable.”

As Shangguan Fei’er’s mother was just a lowly concubine, Shangguan Li looked down on Shangguan Fei’er and spoke disrespectfully.

“Ahem!” Shen Yu Yang coughed.

Realizing his mistake, Shangguan Li said, “Brother Shen, I’m a straightforward person, please don’t take it amiss.”

Shen Yu Yang gave a slight smile and said, “Haha, of course, I won’t blame you, Brother Shangguan though, I wonder if this marriage alliance can succeed.”

“She’s merely the daughter of a lowly concubine. Marrying into Brother Shen’s family as a concubine would be fortune she accrued in her past life, what’s there to be unwilling about? Besides, she doesn’t have the final say.”

Shangguan Li said.

Shen Yu Yang nodded slightly with a smile.

At that moment, they arrived outside the Shangguan family mansion, got off the carriage, and were about to enter when suddenly, they saw Lin Feng and Shangguan Fei’er approaching from a distance.

“I’m here,” Shangguan Fei’er said, her tone tinged with reluctance.

Lin Feng gently caressed Shangguan Fei’er’s cheek and kissed her forehead, smiling as he said, “Go back and rest well, I’ll visit your mother after some time!”

Shangguan Fei’er was both shocked and delighted, and also a bit nervous.

After all, it was Lin Feng’s first visit; she wondered if her mother would like Lin Feng.

Thinking about how outstanding her man was, she believed her mother would certainly like him too.

Observing the close interaction between Lin Feng and Shangguan Fei’er, Shen Yu Yang clenched his fists tightly, his eyes flickering with a chillingly grim look.

“This cheap—woman, daring to flirt around outside; indeed, she is just like her disgraceful mother. I’ll go and teach her a lesson,” grumbled Shangguan Li, noticing that Shen Yu Yang looked rather upset.

Shen Yu Yang said, “Brother Shangguan, you don’t need to handle this.”

Shangguan Li hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

He said, “Such a cheap—woman can be dealt with after she’s brought home.”

“I was thinking the same!” Shen Yu Yang revealed a sinister expression.

…

After parting with Shangguan Fei’er, Lin Feng headed towards Azure Dragon Academy.

As he passed a crossroad, over a dozen people blocked his way, led by none other than Shen Yu Yang.

“Boy, stop!”

One of Shen Yu Yang’s guards spoke coldly.

Lin Feng looked at them indifferently and asked, “Who are you people? Is there a reason you are blocking my way?”

Shen Yu Yang gazed deeply at Lin Feng and said, “From now on, stay away from Shangguan Fei’er, or else the consequences will be more than you can handle.”

Lin Feng was momentarily stunned, then scoffed and said, “Shangguan Fei’er is my woman, and you dare to covet her? Get lost, and don’t let me see you around her again, or I might make you incapable of being a man for the rest of your life.”

“Boy! What did you say?” Shen Yu Yang’s face grew even darker.

He hadn’t expected this young man, surrounded by his group, to be so arrogant.

To actually threaten him.

Shen Yu Yang laughed furiously.

As the vice president of the Sky Dragon Commerce Association, Shen Yu Yang was accustomed to looking down from above.

He was always the one humiliating others! When had anyone humiliated him?

Now, being threatened by this young man, Shen Yu Yang couldn’t tolerate it.

His menacing voice sounded, “Act! Disable this brat for me, let him learn there are some people he can’t afford to offend.”

“Yes, Young Master!”

Shoosh!

A cultivator beside Shen Yu Yang rushed forward. His face was covered in mean scars, and with a brutal look, he was a first-layer Martial General Realm powerhouse.

The cultivator sneered at Lin Feng, “Boy, what are you? You even dare to offend our young master. You’re really seeking death.”

As his words fell, he launched a heavy and powerful palm strike towards Lin Feng.

“Stupid fool, get lost.”

As the burly cultivator struck, Lin Feng’s expression was indifferent; his “aura” instantly condensed.

Lin Feng shouted loudly and stepped forward aggressively, his released aura fiercely hitting the cultivator.

Whoa.

Struck by lightning, the burly Martial General Realm cultivator was blasted away by the powerful aura emitted by Lin Feng.

Whoa! Midair, he vomited three mouthfuls of blood! He hit the ground and was knocked out unconscious!
