Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor-Chapter 984 - 994: Returning in Defeat

How could he not understand? Any one of these eight betrothal gifts is more valuable than Chu Feng.

Why wouldn't the Ye Family agree?

Especially the Golden Crow Elixir, which is the Achilles' heel of the Ye Family Master.

After nearly six hundred thousand years of cultivation, still unable to advance to the Great Perfection Realm, the Ye Family Master must have an intense desire for the Great Perfection Realm.

There's no reason not to be tempted. Could the Ye Family have seen something?

The Chief Clerk Feihong quietly watched the expressions of the Ye Family Master and others, but he was soon disappointed.

Trying to discern anything from the face of this old fox, the Ye Family Master, is harder than ascending to the heavens.

"Ye Wu, tell me, what does this Chu boy have that is better than me?" Young Master Jin Ling coldly stared at Ye Wu and questioned.

"In my eyes, he is better than you in every way. I've said it to you countless times before, give up this heart early. Even if all the men in the world were dead, I would never consider choosing you as a Taoist couple."

Ye Wu said firmly.

She was clearly stating her attitude this time, aiming to once and for all extinguish Young Master Jin Ling's hopes.

The Ye Family's situation may appear bad, but it can completely protect itself without any problem.

Accepting Young Master Jin Ling's proposal would truly place the Ye Family in danger.

"Since Miss Ye Wu says so, my young master is certainly not someone who cannot find a Taoist couple. It's just that signs of turmoil have already begun to appear in Sword Immortal City. An alliance between the Jin Ling Family and the Ye Family should be beneficial to both sides. The Ye Family Master might consider it."

The Chief Clerk Feihong waved his sleeve over the table, and all eight betrothal gifts vanished.

Unable to propose a marriage, he presented the matter of alliance.

Chu Feng's mind stirred.

Sword Immortal City has existed for countless tens of thousands of years; could it also experience turmoil?

He is just a small figure, originally unqualified to enter Sword Immortal City. It's fortunate to know this intel because, if utilized well, it could bring him considerable benefits.

"Heh, the City Lord favoring our Ye Family is an honor for us. But as for the matter of alliance, it's truly difficult to agree upon. After all, we are all established families that have stood for countless years in Sword Immortal City; the friendships are not shallow. If Sword Immortal City does have issues, our Ye Family certainly would not stand idly by. Under a fallen nest, no egg remains intact. This principle, Ye understands."

The Ye Family Master once again softly refused the alliance request from the Jin Ling family.

The proposal is just a façade; the true intention is the alliance with the Ye Family.

The City Lord's throne in Sword Immortal City rotates every million years. The Jin Ling Family's recent decline means they need to secure more influential allies to maintain their position.

The Ye Family's wealth is certainly among the top in Sword Immortal City.

Aligning with the Ye Family would immediately solve their financial crisis.

"Since the Ye Family Master does not wish to ally with the Jin Ling Family, I won't force it. However, I ask the Ye Family Master to agree to one point. It's best to make a promise." The Chief Clerk Feihong's face was devoid of any smile.

He presented request after request, all rejected by the Ye Family.

The banquet hasn't started yet, and he already finds it hard to stomach.

"I don't know what it is?" The Ye Family Master remained calm and collected, like an ancient well without ripples.

Chu Feng was gaining insight; these figures who have lived for hundreds of thousands of years are truly formidable.

In negotiating with such people, Chu Feng stands no chance; he's bound to be manipulated thoroughly.

"The Ye Family won't ally with the Jin Ling Family; just please don't ally with the Hao Family." After saying this, the Chief Clerk Feihong's gaze closely fixed on the Ye Family Master, capturing every subtle expression.

"Ye can tell you clearly, there's no need to worry. Our Ye Family just wants to peacefully conduct business and make money. We won't get involved in anything else. Having talked for this long, my daughter has returned, so let's begin the feast!"

The Ye Family Master only made a verbal statement, offering no promise.

He clapped his hands twice, and immediately teams of Ye Family servants brought in the delicious dishes. All of them were rare treats not seen in the mortal world.

The colors, aromas, and flavors were all-encompassing.

After reaching the Sword Saint Realm through cultivation, Chu Feng seldom ate since he didn't need food, merely absorbing energy from the void to satisfy his body's needs completely.

Seeing so many delicious dishes on the table now, he didn't hold back. He indulged without restraint, filling himself to the brim.

Having failed in their mission, Young Master Jin Ling and the Chief Clerk Feihong naturally had no mood to savor the delicacies. They ate just a few bites before getting up to leave.

Before leaving, Young Master Jin Ling gave Chu Feng a deep look.

"Boy, my young master truly didn't expect you to upset the plan. Let me advise you: Sword Immortal City is not a place you can stay; you'd better leave early." This was spoken directly to Chu Feng through divine sense transmission.

Chu Feng naturally paid no mind to Young Master Jin Ling's advice.

It's rare to visit Sword Immortal City; he should thoroughly understand it.

Preparing for entrance to Sword Immortal City later.

After sending off Young Master Jin Ling and the Chief Clerk Feihong, the Ye Family Master and Ye Yanying returned to the banquet.

The Ye Family's young progeny remained disdainful of Chu Feng. However, the two elders' attitude towards Chu Feng changed significantly.

"Chu Feng, since you're here, you can stay comfortably in the Ye Family. Little Wu, since it's your guest, entertain and protect him. Don't let the Jin Ling Family harm him." The Ye Family Master gently reminded.

"Daddy, you can rest assured, your daughter will surely protect her man well." Ye Wu readily agreed.

She is truly a woman who matches men.

"Alright, you all enjoy leisurely! I won't accompany you!" The Ye Family Master nodded and turned away.

The Ye Family progeny one by one showed utmost contempt towards Chu Feng.

They felt embarrassed to dine with him.

Especially watching Chu Feng gorge himself as if reincarnated from a starving spirit, they felt even greater disdain.

"No more eating, dining with such lower class people, spoils the appetite!"

"Disgraceful!"

"Ye Wu, what is your judgment, choosing such trash as a boyfriend!"

The talented successors of the Ye Family left one after another.

In the end, only Ye Wu, Chu Feng, and Ye Yanying remained.

"Ahem... Chu Feng, if you like eating, I'll order the staff to create various delicacies for you every day. Was this Super Ninth Grade Soul Reviving Pill really refined by you?"

Ye Yanying stayed not to play the lightbulb.

But to discuss alchemy matters.

"Sir, you've asked this question for the second time now." Chu Feng didn't answer directly because he disdained it.

"Haha, don't mind. Truthfully, it's hard to believe a young man like yourself can refine such a perfect Super Ninth Grade Elixir. Now that you're Little Wu's boyfriend, and I'm her uncle, perhaps you could share some of your alchemy experience?"

Ye Yanying shamelessly sought guidance from Chu Feng.

"Chu Feng, it's time for you to show off!" Ye Wu also acted coy, urging Chu Feng to impart everything to her uncle without reservation.
