Chapter 221 The Challenger
What choice the Zhang brothers made and what decision they came to, Ye Feng neither knew nor cared, and would certainly not stick around specifically to wait for an answer.
At this moment, Ye Feng had already left the Daoyi Jewelry Store with Hong Qingyan in style, leaving behind envious gazes. The store's treasure had been so effortlessly taken away on the very first day it was showcased.

The key question is, what was the chairman after?
Hand in hand, the two sauntered freely down the street, and by now, the "Love at First Sight" necklace was already gracing Qingyan's neck.@@@@
If before, Qingyan in Ye Feng's eyes was only ninety percent beautiful, then with the necklace on, she undoubtedly made up for that last ten percent. The saying goes, "Clothes make the man, and jewelry makes the beauty," and sometimes that's just how it is.
"Big Brother Ye, do I really look that good?"
Qingyan's pretty face blushed a little because on the street, the rate at which people turned to look at her was frighteningly high, with some people bumping into others and still not turning around.
"Of course, with such a great beauty around, anyone who can't appreciate that is blind."
In fact, the one who looked the most was Ye Feng himself, who found Qingyan inexhaustibly captivating. At this moment, he couldn't have been more pleased with himself.
"You're teasing me again. That necklace must have cost a lot, right? I'm ready to go home and munch on cabbage for a month."
Qingyan's gaze carried a hint of cunning.
"Look Qingyan, you can't mix up the two, you saw for yourself, the necklace was free."
Actually, Ye Feng really wanted to calmly ask, does our house lack money?
Take the Daoyi Chamber of Commerce we just saw, a big enterprise ranked within the global top hundred. If your husband wanted something, it would only take a phone call.
"How could it cost nothing? As the chairman, you're not doing your job properly. Manufacturing costs, raw material costs, design fees, aren't all of these supposed to cost money?"
"I don't care, in our home, I'm the boss, and you have to listen to me."
After a round of unreasonable arguments, Hong Qingyan asserted her dominance with a stern face.
Fine!
You win.
Ye Feng immediately surrendered, although in his heart he couldn't help but find it strange. Qingyan, who was previously so demure, had changed so suddenly!
Qingyan mentioned she had learned a lot recently. Now Ye Feng wanted to know, who did she learn from, what book taught her, what else was there he didn't know about?
Four hours later, Qingyan was finally tired from shopping, and Ye Feng didn't want to walk anymore either. At this point, his hands were full of large and small bags. The Northern Border King reduced to such a state, it was lucky his subordinates weren't present, or their jaws would've dropped.
The car eventually stopped at a resort villa about thirty kilometers from the Eastern Border Camp. Though Ye Feng and his people could move in and out of the camp freely, it was a place for men, and there was no reason to make Qingyan uncomfortable there.
In the living room, Xiao Chuanqi was present, and there was also one more person.
"King, I'm sorry for disappointing you."
Upon seeing Ye Feng enter, Li Tiegang knelt down with a "thud", his mouth swollen up high, clearly having been struck.
"Get up!"
"You aren't my subordinate, so you don't need to address me as king. Just remember to call me 'my lord' in the future."
Ye Feng instructed Hong Qingyan to go upstairs first and then walked toward the sofa.
"I'll remember, my lord."
Li Tiegang nodded repeatedly.
"Tell me, what happened."
Sima Zhantian and Xia Lengchan hurried back, fiery with haste. Ye Feng, who had been planning to reprimand them, held back upon seeing the variety of wounds covering their bodies and ultimately just told them to go rest.
What fools!
Ye Feng couldn't help feeling a mixture of frustration and affection for his troops. What exactly had Sima Zhantian and Xia Lengchan gotten up to in the last three days?
They'd gone to challenge the strong members of the Great Families in the Eastern Border!
Ye Feng knew their true purpose, but it infuriated him that these two had been blatantly used by the Old Eastern King, and without any sign of protest.
The next day, a modified off-road jeep left the Eastern Border Camp. The Old Eastern King and his entourage escorted them for fifty miles, repeatedly urging them to visit often when there was no trouble, and saying that gifts and such were not important. The most crucial thing was to bring along the man with the sword.
The man with the sword, Xiao Chuanqi.
A man who, within three minutes, made a group of Eastern Border leaders utterly convinced of his strength, lying on the ground and chanting in adoration, the First Legion Commander of the Northern Border, and also the future...
"Dongyun City, the Feng Family?"
"Why didn't you say something sooner, my Lord? If I had known yesterday, I could have taken care of the Feng Family with Xia Lengchan," exclaimed Sima Zhantian in a loud voice upon hearing that Ye Feng was heading to the Feng Family in Dongyun City.
"Were you at the Feng Family yesterday?"
This left Ye Feng at a loss for words.
"Not at the Feng Family. We traversed several places in one day, and had only fought there," explained Sima Zhantian.
"The Feng Family is nothing. They don't deserve your presence, my Lord. Just give me the word, and I'll go right there by myself and deal with them, ensuring everything is clean and leaving no future troubles for you to continue on your way to Jiangdu."
Sima Zhantian said enthusiastically.
"There's no rush for that. Consider it a chance to experience the local culture," Ye Feng waved his hand, signaling that Sima Zhantian need not continue.
It wasn't that he doubted Sima Zhantian's ability; rather, it was a remark Li Tiegang had made unintentionally the day before that caught his attention.
The Jiangzuo Alliance had once invited the Feng Family to join them.
The strong recognize the strong—this Ye Feng never doubted. The Buddha-Faced Lord of the Jiangzuo Alliance was of Middle Rank Martial King level, and would not have extended an invitation to the Feng Family without good reason.
Approaching noon, their vehicle finally entered the Earth Boundary of Dongyun City. The Feng Family was the unrivaled Great Family in Dongyun City, easy to find.
While Ye Feng was on his way to the Feng Family, at this very moment in the hall of the Martial Alliance in Dongyun City, a White-Bearded Elder was dominating the scene, having taken the main seat. With an arrogant air, he addressed Li Tiegang:
"Leader Li, what have you considered about the proposal we from the Feng Family suggested?"
"Not much at all, Feng Shanyi. Don't think I didn't see through you. Your Feng Family can forget about becoming the Leader of the Dongyun City Martial Alliance. Aside from the fact that I don't have the authority to appoint you, even if I did, I would never agree."
Seeing Ye Feng's response, Li Tiegang felt greatly reassured.
"So you prefer punishment over a toast? Li Tiegang, don't assume that because I address you as Leader Li, you actually amount to something. In the eyes of the members of the Feng Family, you're less than nothing."
"Let me tell you, we desire more than just the leadership of Dongyun City; it's your position that our Feng Family members truly covet."
The elder looked at Li Tiegang with a mocking gaze.
"Hahaha!"
"You want my position? My position was given by the Lord; do you really believe your Feng Family can take it with such ease? What a grand joke."
Basking in borrowed authority, Li Tiegang knew he could no longer afford to let Ye Feng down.
"Which Lord?"
The elder frowned slightly.
"Why should I tell you? Coincidentally, the Lord might already be at your Feng Family's doorstep by now."
Slamming the table, Li Tiegang watched as three Great Grandmasters entered from outside.
