Chapter 80: Chapter 80: Dad! You Are So Strange

The Guard Captain stood still in shock.

Ye Jifeng’s face darkened, “What, are you scared out of your wits? Can’t even catch a person?”

The Guard Captain was in immense shock.

Still unable to snap out of it.

Ye Jifeng got angry, strode over, and pushed the Guard Captain aside, “Useless waste!”

He personally reached out to grab Jiang Fan.

The Guard Captain finally snapped out of it and, seeing Ye Jifeng’s rough actions, was scared out of his wits.

This was the Ninth Grade Spiritual Root Liu Qingxian had been desperately searching for!

If even a hair was harmed, Liu Qingxian wouldn’t spare Ye Jifeng, nor the Ye family.

He hurriedly grabbed Ye Jifeng’s arm, holding him back, and urgently cried, “City Lord, no, he is…”

Just as he was about to reveal it, he realized the identity of the Ninth Grade Spiritual Root was a top secret and must not be leaked.

Ye Jifeng was furious.

He slapped the Guard Captain so hard he flew to the ground, shouting, “What’s gotten into you today? Taken the wrong medicine?”

Blood appeared at the corner of the Guard Captain’s mouth.

But he didn’t care about the pain, hurriedly got up, ran to him, and whispered, “City Lord, he is the boy who took the Blood Bat Palace reward that day.”

Ye Jifeng frowned, “What Blood Bat Palace reward… wait!”

Hiss!

He suddenly took a sharp breath, shocked, “Are you saying he is that Nine…”

Realizing he almost exposed the secret, he quickly shut his mouth, lowered his voice and, with a slight tremor, asked, “Are you sure you didn’t mistake him for someone else?”

The Guard Captain said, “If I am wrong, City Lord, you can gouge out my eyes!”

It really was him!

Ye Jifeng was overjoyed!

This was the person Liu Qingxian had been looking for.

Before she left, she had instructed Ye Jifeng to find the Ninth Grade Spiritual Root at all costs.

If found, the Ye family would get a spot for an Inner Sect Disciple of the Green Cloud Sect!

When he looked at Jiang Fan again, there was no trace of his previous ferocity.

His rough hands rubbed together as he smiled, “Young Master Jiang, you are truly talented. I have long admired you. Today, seeing you in person, your reputation is really well deserved.”

The hall fell into sudden silence.

The Guard Captain’s eyes were wide open.

He had always thought that flattering was his strong suit.

But seeing the City Lord’s change of face, he realized he still had much to learn.

Ye Qingxue’s beautiful eyes also widened, her head full of questions.

Seeing her usually dignified and stern father suddenly flatter someone, she couldn’t help but murmur:

“Father, you feel so strange to me.”

Zhong Liangpeng and Zhong Qizhen’s father and son, their mocking expressions suddenly froze,

staring unblinkingly at the sudden shift in the atmosphere.

Chen Yuqiu and Liu Qimin exchanged a look, finding it absurd.

Why did the City Lord’s fierce attitude suddenly make such a dramatic turn?

Even Jiang Fan, the person involved, couldn’t help but touch his nose, wondering if the City Lord had some split personality.

“City Lord, what is this?”

Ye Jifeng didn’t feel awkward at all, clasping his hands, “It was all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!”

“Since you married the Chen family’s daughter as a concubine, then it’s nothing.”

As he spoke, he felt around his pockets.

After much difficulty, he finally pulled out a jade pendant he always carried.

He shoved it into Chen Silin’s hand, extremely polite, “Siling, uncle came in a rush and didn’t bring anything good.”

“Take this jade pendant as a gift from uncle.”

Ah?

Ye Qingxue opened her mouth wide.

This was not just an ordinary jade pendant but the City Lord’s jade talisman.

Ordinary people or soldiers, upon seeing this jade talisman, it was as if they were seeing the City Lord.

Normally, even she was scolded by her father for just wanting to touch it.

He was actually giving it directly to Chen Silin!

Chen Silin also recognized the significance of the jade pendant, scared and quickly refused, “City Lord, I cannot accept it. How can I take this?”

Ye Jifeng’s face stern, displeased, “I and your father are like brothers, so you are half my daughter. What can’t you take!”

“I told you to take it, so take it!”

He said, shoving it unceremoniously into her palm.

Chen Yuqiu was dumbfounded.

Who is like brothers with you? We don’t even know each other that well usually.

However, seeing the City Lord stand on his side, he reluctantly agreed, “Siling, just accept it.”

“Don’t take it out or lose it.”

Chen Silin reluctantly accepted, “Thank you, City Lord.”

“What City Lord? Call me foster father! From today on, I will take you as my goddaughter.”

Ye Jifeng wanted to climb the ranks, saying, “Whoever bullies you and the Chen family from now on, is going against my Ye family!”

F-foster father?

Chen Yuqiu rolled his eyes. You really know how to take advantage of the situation.

Jiang Fan was a Three-Star Soul Master.

Even having a slight connection with him in the future would ensure prosperity.

Considering Jiang Fan had not yet grown up, having a powerful ally wasn’t bad, he nodded, “Siling, the City Lord is taking you as his god daughter, shouldn’t you give him thanks?”

Ah?

Chen Silin, confused, knelt and bowed, “Siling greets foster father.”

Ye Jifeng was delighted, helping her up, “Good, good. From now on, we are one family.”

Seeing Ye Jifeng’s affection towards Chen Silin,

Ye Qingxue suddenly felt like a stranger, with a sudden feeling of losing her family.

Why was this happening?

Even if her father discovered Jiang Fan’s biggest secret, the No.1 Shadow Guard,

It shouldn’t have prompted giving away the jade talisman or taking her as a goddaughter, right?

Could it be that the No.1 Shadow Guard was just one of Jiang Fan’s secrets?

And there were secrets they didn’t know about?

She couldn’t help but look at Jiang Fan, suspicious, “Jiang Fan, are you hiding something from me?”

This startled both Ye Jifeng and Chen Yuqiu.

Ye Jifeng thought, could the identity of the Ninth Grade Spiritual Root be revealed?

Chen Yuqiu thought, could the identity of the Three-Star Soul Master be exposed?

Both glared at Ye Qingxue, scaring her into silence, not daring to ask further.

Seeing Ye Jifeng getting along harmoniously with the Chen family, becoming a family.

Zhong Liangpeng couldn’t believe his eyes, “Big Brother Ye, how can you help outsiders?”

Ye Jifeng then realized the Zhong family was still there.

He impatiently waved, “Didn’t you hear? The Chen family and my Ye family are one family now, you better return to Biliu City.”

“Do not cause trouble at the Chen family, disturbing their peace.”

Zhong Liangpeng was furious, “What do you mean? The Chen family bullied us, and you call it causing trouble?”

“Do you still consider us relatives?”

Ye Jifeng looked at Jiang Fan and then at Zhong Qizhen.

One was a Ninth Grade Spiritual Root, the other was only a Fourth Grade Spiritual Root.

And their conflicts were nearly irreconcilable.

Given that, was there any need to choose?

“What if we’re not relatives?” Ye Jifeng said without hesitation, “From now on, the Ye family and the Zhong family have no relations!”

“Do as you please!”

“But don’t cause trouble in Lonely Boat City, or you and your son won’t leave easily!”

This made Zhong Qizhen furious.

“Fine, fine! Do all of you see Jiang Fan as a treasure?”

“Tomorrow, tomorrow I’ll let you see how I beat him like a dog, too disgraceful to even enter the Green Cloud Sect!”

He roared in anger and left.

Zhong Liangpeng also gritted his teeth, “Ye Jifeng, I’ll see how your favored Jiang Fan embarrasses himself tomorrow!”
