Chapter 1208: Chapter 1208: Brothers Reunited

It wasn’t that Ye Fei had a poor memory; he just hadn’t taken the “Protector Family” seriously from the start. He had only remembered the name Wu back then.

With so many people in the world sharing the surname Wu, he had initially thought it was just a coincidence when Zhao Xuan first mentioned it.

Sure enough, Zhao Xuan, unaware of the inside story, explained in detail, “It’s the Wu family from Linhai’s martial arts community. Brother Ye, since you’re from the Liu family, you must have heard of them.”

“I’ve heard of them, I’ve heard of them,” Ye Fei replied perfunctorily, then asked curiously, “But didn’t you say that the Wu family’s marriage alliance with your Zhao family was just a scheme to get their hands on your martial arts secrets? Why would you still care about a family with such ill intentions?”

“It’s all because of my aunt,” Zhao Xuan said with a wry smile. “She’s a good person, but she’s just too stubborn. She only remembers the good others have done and forgets the bad.

She said that although the Wu family never had good intentions, they did take care of our Zhao family in the past.

And even though she hasn’t been happy these past years, she’s been well-provided for, thanks to the Wu family. So she feels she can’t just abandon them.”

“If your aunt is so kind-hearted, why didn’t she help you out when you got into trouble? The Wu family isn’t exactly a small force. Even if they’re not from Wanghai, they should have been able to lend a hand,” Ye Fei pointed out bluntly.

Zhao Xuan replied helplessly, “Brother Ye, you don’t understand. Although my aunt is the young lady’s mother-in-law, she has no status at all in the Wu family. She’s not even as well-treated as a servant. She just has the title of a young lady’s mother-in-law to avoid being bullied. She has no say in external matters.”

Ye Fei was left speechless. He had thought that Zhao Xuan’s kind-heartedness, which didn’t hold grudges against enemies, was already rare. But it turned out his aunt was even more magnanimous.

Thinking of his grandfather, who had established the alliance to prevent martial artists from killing each other and hadn’t harmed a single person, even to assert dominance, Ye Fei realized this was their family tradition.

Although Ye Fei wasn’t a goody-two-shoes himself, he had a soft spot for such “good families.” This further solidified his determination to help Zhao Xuan.

He said, “Brother Zhao, I’ll head to Linhai right away. I have a few friends there, and I can introduce you to them.”

Zhao Xuan initially wanted to decline, not wanting Ye Fei to run around late at night. But after hearing his words, he felt it would be impolite to refuse, so he agreed.

After ending the call, Ye Fei drove towards Linhai. What he had told Zhao Xuan wasn’t an excuse; he did have friends there, none other than Baldy and Zimo.

These guys had come back from the United States for the New Year and hadn’t left yet.

With Zhang Yide in charge in Wanghai and Ye Xuan remotely directing things in the near sea area with the original Qinglong Society crew, there was no need for them. So, they had all moved to Linhai, which lacked high-level figures.

Reflecting on himself, Ye Fei had been so preoccupied with nightly pleasures with his beloved women that he hadn’t spent much time with his brothers. He felt a pang of guilt and decided to use this opportunity to catch up with them.

Once out of the city, Ye Fei found a secluded spot, put the car into his spatial storage, and transformed into a streak of electric light, arriving in Linhai in the blink of an eye. However, he didn’t head straight to the Wu family.

Instead, he first sought out Baldy and the others, as it would be hard to explain to Zhao Xuan why he arrived so quickly.

After returning from the United States, Baldy and the others had met Ye Fei a few times, but their interactions had been brief.

Now, hearing that Ye Fei wanted to drink and chat with them and hang out all night, these guys, who were already leaders in their own right, became as excited as children, jumping up and down. Ye Fei was not only their boss but also their idol, even a deity they worshipped.

After a good round of fun with Baldy and the others, Ye Fei checked the time and had them find a place first. He then drove to the Wu family’s residence.

As he approached the entrance of the Wu family’s compound, Ye Fei saw that two people were already waiting there. One of them was Zhao Xuan, and the stunning beauty beside him puzzled Ye Fei.

The beauty appeared to be in her late twenties, clearly too old to be Zhao Xuan’s sister. But to say she was his aunt seemed even more unlikely.

Ye Fei’s sensitivity to women’s presence had increased significantly. Even from a distance, he could sense that this stunning, mature beauty was a genuine, untouched virgin.

Ye Fei got out of the car and called out, “Brother Zhao, we’re brothers. You could have just waited inside. It’s a bit embarrassing for you to come out and greet me like this.”

“There’s no other way. It’s my aunt’s idea,” Zhao Xuan smiled and introduced the mature beauty beside him, “This is my aunt, Zhao Lian’er.”

Hearing Zhao Xuan’s words, Ye Fei was taken aback. She was indeed his aunt. But how could such a beauty, and the legitimate young lady’s mother-in-law of the Wu family, still be a virgin?

Could it be that the young master was impotent? However, no matter how curious he was, he couldn’t ask such a question, so he had to keep it to himself for the time being.

At that moment, Zhao Lian’er stepped forward and said with grace and poise, “Brother Ye, right? I was just wondering how I could thank you in person, and here we meet through Xuan’er.”

“Thank me?” Ye Fei was puzzled again. Judging from Zhao Lian’er’s words, it was clear she wasn’t thanking him for rescuing Zhao Xuan. Besides that, he had no other dealings with her. The only time he had been to the Wu family was when he had transformed into a barbarian, and no one in the world would recognize him.

Seeing Ye Fei’s confusion, Zhao Lian’er explained, “If it weren’t for Brother Ye’s Lingyun Sect controlling the entire southeast situation, the Wu family would probably have been carved up by various forces long ago. Where would we have a place to stand?”

Ye Fei couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly. This mature beauty truly came from a good family, remembering a favor that didn’t need to be connected. If she knew it was he who had wiped out the Wu family, he wondered what she would think.

While entertaining these random thoughts, Ye Fei smiled on the surface and said, “You’re too polite. Since you’re Brother Zhao’s aunt, that makes you my aunt as well. We’re all family, so there’s no need for such formalities.”

“How could I accept that?” Zhao Lian’er quickly replied, her pretty face showing a hint of panic.

After all, Ye Fei’s fame was enormous, and even she, the young lady’s mother-in-law and the former alliance leader’s daughter, felt somewhat intimidated by his legendary status.

Now, this myth-like man was calling her aunt, which left her feeling both honored and flustered.
