Chapter 19 The Engagement Day Arrives

"Blood Wolf and Blood Leopard were killed with a single blow. Judging from the extent of their injuries, the attacker must have been at least a Blood Condensation Realm cultivator."

The coroner removed his mask and turned his gaze to the naked Blood Fox.

Seeing the wounds all over her body, a result of torture, even though he was used to seeing all sorts of gruesome deaths, he couldn't help but frown.

"The Blood Fox had lacerations in her genitals, indicating she was likely interrogated before her death."

"I'm certain that the one who killed them was a ruthless cultivator."

The middle-aged man nodded and asked a young man beside him, "What mission are they carrying out?"

"Reporting to the Hall Master, according to the records, they only accepted a C-level mission."

The young man held up a tablet computer and handed it to the middle-aged man.

This is the Hai branch of the Dark Palace, and the middle-aged man is the branch master, Sima Zhan.

"How come a C-level mission would encounter cultivators? Who are their targets?"

Sima Zhan frowned.

"Reporting to the Hall Master, someone has offered a reward of five million for the killing of Ye Feng of the Ye family in Zhonghai."

The young man answered immediately.

"Is this Ye Feng a cultivator?"

"no."

A strange look flashed across the young man's face as he continued, "This Ye Feng is very famous in Zhonghai."

"However, it's not a good reputation."

"He went to jail for raping his fiancée, becoming a laughingstock in almost his entire family."

"According to the information we have gathered, he was a pampered rich kid from a young age, and he was also the rather timid type."

"Otherwise, she wouldn't have been accused of rape after getting engaged."

Sima Zhan's eyes flashed with disdain after hearing this.

"You mean, Blood Fox and the others' deaths have nothing to do with Ye Feng?"

"That's not entirely true."

The young man thought for a moment: "The Ye family used to be a top family in Zhonghai, so it's not surprising that they have some background."

"Perhaps there are cultivators hiding around Ye Feng, and that he killed the Blood Fox and the other two."

"Um."

Sima Zhan also thought this was possible.

"You informed the person who placed the bounty that the information he provided was incorrect, causing us to lose three assassins for nothing."

"We can let this matter go, but a C-level mission must be upgraded to a D-level mission."

"You need to pay more!"

"yes!"

......

Song family.

Song Jiangtao was leaning back on the sofa, enjoying Jiang Ruotong's massage.

Suddenly, his phone beeped, and he received an email notification.

After browsing through it, I couldn't help but frown.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing him staring blankly at his phone, Jiang Ruotong couldn't help but ask curiously.

"What a fine Ye Feng! What a fine Ye family!"

Song Jiangtao squinted and said, "The Dark Hall's assassination attempt on Ye Feng failed. It turns out the Ye family actually has cultivators hidden inside."

"What?"

Jiang Ruotong was shocked.

She didn't know anything about cultivators before, and only after being with Song Jiangtao did she begin to understand them.

Cultivators possess great strength and are not bound by worldly laws; one person can bring prosperity to an entire family.

The Song family's current status is entirely due to the support of the cultivators within the family.

"The Ye family has cultivators; why didn't they say so before?"

A hint of resentment flashed in Jiang Ruotong's eyes.

She framed Ye Feng and sent him to prison because she saw the Ye family's decline and didn't want to continue fulfilling their marriage agreement.

If she had known that the Ye family had cultivators and a chance to rise again, why would she have bothered with all this trouble?

Wouldn't it be better to just marry Ye Feng honestly?

After she got together with Song Jiangtao, her life was not as good as when she was with Ye Feng.

Ye Feng used to be very obedient to her, but Song Jiangtao treated her like a servant, always expecting her to serve him respectfully.

"They're probably not from the Ye family. They likely have some connection with the Ye family and stepped in to protect Ye Feng."

"Or perhaps... Ye Feng was just lucky and was saved by a cultivator who happened to be passing by."

When Song Jiangtao received the message from the Dark Palace, he was shocked by its contents.

Upon calming down and thinking it over, I realized something was amiss; there was no reason for the Ye family to be hiding the existence of cultivators.

"Is that so?"

Hearing his words, Jiang Ruotong felt a little better, and the regret that had just arisen vanished instantly.

She recalled how Ye Feng had bullied her during the day, denying everything after pulling up his pants, and even kicking her butt as he left.

Jiang Ruotong's eyes flashed with resentment again: "Then what should we do? Aren't we going to kill Ye Feng?"

"We have no choice but to kill them now."

Song Jiangtao shook his head and smiled: "The assassins from the Dark Palace were killed, and they are demanding that the bounty be increased."

"That's fine too. I want to see if the Ye family actually has any cultivators!"

"Uh-huh."

Jiang Ruotong nodded firmly.

"Damn Ye Feng, you're just a spineless simp!"

"Even in the heyday of the Ye family, marrying you would have meant a miserable life."

"Young Master Song is much better. He knows how to use his brain when he does things. He's a million times better than you."

"My choice was definitely right!"

......

Ye Feng returned to his room.

I sat cross-legged on the bed, lost in thought.

He had only cultivated the third level of the Supreme Dragon God Technique, and could no longer cultivate the subsequent techniques.

Simply absorbing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth is no longer sufficient to meet the requirements for cultivation.

Two methods.

Castration? Impossible!

Finding a woman with a special constitution to achieve yin-yang harmony is something worth considering.

However, women with special physical conditions are rare and require a stroke of luck.

"There's no rush when it comes to cultivation."

Ye Feng comforted himself with this thought, and then began to plan what to do next.

Shen Luoyi is managing the family company, so he doesn't need to worry about it for the time being.

What he wants to do most now is to find out the real cause of death of his father and three older brothers.

But perhaps because others hid it so well, it was truly an accident, and there wasn't a single clue.

"It definitely wasn't an accident!"

Ye Feng remembered his master saying that his father was the governor of the Eastern Theater Command and could not have died in an accident.

Moreover, the three older brothers died at almost the same time, which clearly suggests a conspiracy!

"If they knew that the Ye family had a chance to rise again, what would they do if they knew that the Ye family wanted to destroy us?"

A glint of light flashed in Ye Feng's eyes.

Since there are no clues, we should create opportunities to make the other party reveal themselves.

If someone who wants to deal with the Ye family knows that the Ye family has a chance to rise again and that he also wants to investigate the cause of his father's death, he will definitely not sit still and will take action to nip the threat in the bud.

"I can't appear too strong, lest they think I can't handle them and I'll completely hide myself."

.......

In the local custom of Zhonghai, engagement is also called "Nazheng".

Typically, the groom brings betrothal gifts to the bride's family, where both sets of elders meet and agree on the engagement ceremony's procedures.

The day finally arrived for their engagement.

Ye Dingtian had prepared the betrothal gifts well in advance, including a gift box containing 1.01 million yuan in cash, symbolizing that he was one in a million.

There are also gold rings, gold necklaces, gold earrings, gold bracelets, gold anklets, and eight-color gifts in red gift boxes.

Although the Ye family has declined, they can still afford these betrothal gifts.

In addition, according to the customs of Zhonghai, the betrothal gifts are only a small gift, and there is a larger gift when the wedding takes place.

The betrothal gifts prepared by Ye Dingtian were not considered meager even among prominent families.

As the Ye family's convoy set off, various forces and individuals with ulterior motives also began to take action.
