756: Chapter 756: An Urgent Call for Help 756: Chapter 756: An Urgent Call for Help The next day, Ye Fei arrived at the Wu familyâs estate early with his two companions.
Compared to the day before, the estate was now adorned with festive decorations, and a steady stream of guestsâboth martial artists and ordinary people from Zhongyuan City who were friendly with the Wu familyâcame to offer their congratulations.
The ordinary guests simply found the trio striking, with the man handsome and the women beautiful, though the one-man-two-women arrangement seemed a bit unusual.
The martial artists, however, were utterly shocked.
They never expected the great alliance leader, Ye Zhilin, to personally attend the Wu familyâs wedding.
They all thought they had made the right decision to come and immediately crowded around Ye Zhilin, trying to curry favor, much to her annoyance.
Fortunately, this didnât last long.
Since both the bride and groom lived on the estate, and Wu Guanghua wasnât fond of the traditional wedding procession, the ceremony began quickly.
At this point, Ye Fei and the two women caught sight of the bride, Xiao Cui.
She was delicate, gentle, and quite lovelyâit seemed the young master Wu was indeed fortunate.
As the wedding proceeded, Ye Zhilin seemed to completely forget her identity as the leader of the martial arts alliance.
She laughed and played like an ordinary young girl, thoroughly enjoying herself.
Tang Rou, on the other hand, was the opposite.
Though she was happy for the newlyweds, there was a faint trace of melancholy in her eyes.
Seemingly sensing Tang Rouâs thoughts, Ye Fei quietly took her hand and whispered, âDonât worry, weâll have our day too.
Itâs just that Iâm still young, so you might have to wait a few years.â âWho wants a day like that?
Being ordered around like a puppet?
Iâm not interested!â Tang Rou said, her tone deliberately dismissive, though her words didnât match her feelings.
She knew Ye Fei had more than just her in his life, and while she envied the idea of a wedding, she didnât dare hope for it.
Being with Ye Fei was enough for her.
Ye Fei smiled and didnât say more.
Though he had plans in mind, he didnât want to reveal them yet.
After all, it wasnât something that could be achieved in the short term.
Wouldnât it be better to surprise them later?
After the wedding, the guests took their seats.
Thanks to Ye Zhilinâs status, Ye Fei and Tang Rou were seated at the main table, though this wasnât necessarily a good thing, as it made them the focus of endless toasts.
Ye Zhilin, carefree and unrestrained, accepted every toast without using her internal energy to resist the alcohol.
It didnât take long before she was tipsy, her head swaying left and right as she kept trying to burrow into Ye Feiâs arms, even demanding they âtrainâ together.
Though outsiders didnât know what âtrainingâ meant, such behavior was unbecoming of the leader of the martial arts alliance.
Helpless, Ye Fei released his domain, holding her firmly in place, which made her think she was under some kind of spell.
The wedding banquet lasted from around 10 a.m.
to well past 3 p.m.
By then, many of the guests were drunk.
Surprisingly, Ye Zhilin, who had been the first to get tipsy, was now sober again.
Once Ye Fei released her from his domain, she immediately grabbed his collar and demanded, âYe Fei, tell me how you did that just now!â In her excitement, she reverted to calling him by his full name, a deliberate move to remind him that she was now his ancestor, not his wife, and he owed her an explanation.
Ye Fei hadnât intended to keep it from her, so he quietly explained the concept of his domain.
After hearing it, Ye Zhilin quickly lost interestâher current strength wasnât enough to use such a technique, no matter how much she understood it.
Tang Rou, however, was thrilled.
Her man was so powerfulânot only could he travel thousands of miles in an instant, but he could also control everything within a certain range.
Wasnât this like being a god?
She had once thought of enduring humiliation to protect him, but now she realized how foolish that had been.
Though Ye Zhilin was sober now, given her status, she couldnât join in the traditional wedding pranks.
So, the three bid farewell to the Wu family and left the estate.
With everything settled, Ye Fei didnât want to stay any longer.
After discussing with the two women, they decided to return to the Tang family to say goodbye to Ji Shuixiu before heading back to Wanghai.
As for Tang Zhizhong, Tang Rou didnât feel like dealing with himâher father had truly broken her heart.
Back at the Tang family, Ji Shuixiu held Tang Rouâs hand, reluctant to let her go.
Tang Zhizhong, however, was unusually subdued.
Seeing that they didnât want to engage with him, he quietly went out to prepare their car.
He was filled with regret and could only focus on fulfilling his duties as a father, hoping to rebuild his relationship with his daughter.
Though his motives were still somewhat selfish, at least he was moving in the right direction.
âMom, if you miss me, you can come visit us in Wanghai.
After we go back, Iâll find a place near the school for you to stay,â Tang Rou said to her mother as they parted, which made Tang Zhizhongâs eyes light up.
Tang Zhizhong personally drove Ye Fei and the two women to the airport, then busied himself buying tickets and checking in some local specialties Tang Rou had brought from home.
He was so eager to help that it was almost pitiful.
Watching her fatherâs bustling, Tang Rouâs eyes softened with compassion.
Though he had acted this time, he was still her father who loved her dearly, and now she couldnât help but feel sorry for him.
Seeing Tang Rouâs conflicted expression, Ye Fei sighed inwardly.
As the saying goes, âItâs easier to move a mountain than to change a personâs nature.â He knew exactly why Tang Zhizhong was being so attentive, but he didnât want to ruin Tang Rouâs filial feelings.
Besides, he didnât mind giving Tang Zhizhong some benefits if it made Tang Rou happy.
âWait here for a moment, Iâll go help your fatherââ Before Ye Fei could finish, a peculiar ringtone sounded from his phone.
Hearing it, his expression immediately changed.
This was a special device he had createdâno matter where they were, his women could press it to send a signal, which his phone would receive, allowing him to locate them through global positioning.
He had given one to each of his women and instructed them to use it only in emergencies.
Pulling out his phone, Ye Feiâs face darkened further.
The signal was coming from an extremely distant locationâthe highlands of the southwest.
Currently, all his women are in Wanghai the capital.
The only person who could have sent that signal from such a remote place was one specific woman.
