Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 450 - 449 The Handsomest Man in the World

No one had expected that even the supreme elder of the Buddhist Sect would hold back and not have an outburst; however, everyone knew that the reason why the supreme elder could endure was partly out of fear of Ye Feng’s strength, and of course, it naturally involved the saying ’losing one’s temper may ruin a great plan.’

After hearing the explanation from the disciples of the Buddhist Sect, the disciples from the other sects of ancient martial arts quickly nodded their heads in agreement. Some even thought that the supreme elder was tolerant beyond what others could bear and was a true man of the martial arts world.

Nevertheless, the supreme elder paid no attention to these things, as at his level of cultivation realm, the opinions of ordinary people could hardly affect his state of mind. He immediately quickened his pace to catch up with Ye Feng.

Under the guidance of the supreme elder and the Sect Leader of the Buddhist Sect, Ye Feng and the others passed through the martial arts training plaza in front and soon arrived at the feet of the great stone Buddha.

At their feet was an open area, with an endless lake in front and the majestic Great Buddha behind. It was only then that Ye Feng realized that the upper echelons of the Nine Great Ancient Martial Sects had almost all arrived; now they were all either sitting cross-legged or standing on the Great Buddha.

Even the two elders from the Utility Pavilion and several Sect Leaders had arrived, along with many of the prominent families from the secular world of Xuanyuan Nation. This martial arts conference could truly be described as a grand occasion.

As per the instructions, Ye Feng and the other thirty-odd people stopped at the open space beneath the great stone Buddha. From here, they had to look up to see the people of the Nine Great Ancient Martial Sects above the Buddha, who appeared high above, creating an implicit sense of judgment.

The moment Ye Feng saw this, his expression immediately darkened. This was clearly a sign of disrespect to him as the Northern King and the head of the Martial Academy. Even the secular families of Xuanyuan Nation had a place up there, yet he had to stand oppressed beneath the feet of the Buddha.

Long Nannan immediately became dissatisfied and snorted coldly, "This is utterly outrageous; the Buddhist Sect is looking down on people. Sausage Sister, let’s just fly up there, right to the top of that Buddha’s head, and see how they react!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Long Nannan and Sausage Sister directly soared into the sky, and Hong Qingyan also followed suit, quickly landing on the highest point of the Buddha’s head.

When Ye Feng witnessed this, he slightly shook his head and then launched himself into the air, bringing along his twenty-odd guards with him. Fortunately, the stone Buddha was huge enough that just its head could completely accommodate more than twenty people sitting cross-legged.

The disciples of the Buddhist Sect below saw this scene and were all angrily gnashing their teeth, but obviously, by that point it was too late to say anything, for they were already standing on the Buddha’s head – could they still be asked to come down?

It was at this moment, on a mountain peak to the left, that a handsome man with starry eyes and sword-shaped brows suddenly asked Hong Tiandu, who had triangular eyes, "Is the woman in the green dress Hong Qingyan?"

Hong Tiandu nodded and said in a low voice, "That’s right, big brother; it’s her. She’s the one who inherited our Hong Family’s Bloodline of the Wings of Light." As he said this, the look in Hong Tiandu’s eyes was filled with deep resentment, as well as a hint of envy and unwillingness.

The Bloodline of the Wings of Light was something even the elders of the Hong Clan envied. Naturally, Hong Tiandu felt discontent, thinking to himself how the Hong Family’s supreme magic technique could end up in the hands of a wild girl – it was like the heavens were blind.

The man in the blue robe nodded slightly and said, "She looks quite beautiful indeed, a real beauty. How is the family investigation going? Have they found out from which line of descendants she is?"

This overly handsome man in the blue robe was Hong Tiandu’s cousin Hong Gaishi. This man’s talent far exceeded that of Hong Jiutian and Hong Tiandu, and he was the true number one figure of this generation within the Hong Family of the Ancient Clan.

Not to mention anything else, just the fact that Hong Gaishi, being under thirty years old, could be part of the elder seats of the Hong Clan, showed how powerful he was. Among the younger generation within the Four Great Ancient Clans, Hong Gaishi was ranked among the top three. In addition to that, his handsome and imposing stature made many daughters from the Four Great Ancient Clans enamored with him.

Hong Tiandu’s complexion dropped instantly when he heard his cousin’s comment, wailing, "Cousin, surely you’re not targeting Hong Qingyan now, right? Hasn’t the family already decided that girl Long Nannan from the little mountain village in the northwest is to be your betrothed?"

At this point, Hong Tiandu slightly pouted his lips and said, "Look, that’s Long Nannan right there."

Hong Gaishi’s expression remained unaffected, replying indifferently, "I’m not blind; I can see for myself."

Hong Tiandu fell silent. Ever since they were young, his cousin had always been domineering, a man of few words but of fierce action. He had always been overshadowed by him. Hong Tiandu’s talent in cultivation was already quite remarkable, but next to his cousin, his own brilliance dimmed instantly.

Suddenly, Hong Gaishi asked again, "Hong Tiandu, are you interested in that girl Hong Qingyan?"

Hong Tiandu was taken aback, standing frozen in place, unsure how to answer for a moment. To be frank, the saying ’a beautiful woman is a good match for a gentleman’ applies; to deny that he had such thoughts would obviously be a lie. After all, not only was her talent immense, but she was also so strikingly gorgeous.

Hong Gaishi let out a slight cold laugh and said, "I advise you to give up that thought while you can."

Hong Tiandu couldn’t hold back and immediately demanded, "Cousin, the family has clearly chosen Long Nannan for you; do you really intend to make a move on Hong Qingyan?"

Hong Gaishi laughed coldly again, "My making a move on her is certainly not in the way you’re thinking."

"Then in what way?" Hong Tiandu asked immediately.

Hong Gaishi’s expression became utterly serious and, staring at him, said, "Don’t you think you’ve asked too many questions today?"

Hong Tiandu immediately bowed his head, not daring to meet the other’s gaze, as though there was a fierce aura hidden in the opponent’s eyes. He didn’t even have the courage to make eye contact, showing how dominant and powerful Hong Gaishi truly was.

With a snort, Hong Gaishi asked, "Is that man dressed in the royal armor, the so-called Northern King Ye Feng?"

Hong Tiandu nodded slightly and said, "Yes, that’s the youngster named Ye. Oh right, Hong Qingyan is currently his fiancée."

Hong Gaishi’s lips curled into a mocking sneer, and he then said, "He is indeed an exceptional individual. Although he is in the mortal world, he managed to enter the path, and moreover, from the martial arts avenue. He has stubbornly resisted the temptation of the Saint Realm, transforming his Qi Force entirely into Spirit Essence. Such great determination is indeed the mark of an individual, and a respectable opponent!"

Hearing this, Hong Tiandu couldn’t help but be shocked and asked, "Cousin, what are you saying? This youngster with the surname Ye is also a cultivator?"

Hong Gaishi scoffed and said, "Only an idiot like you would dare to recklessly go for a kill without even understanding the other’s background. Didn’t you see that Sausage Sister and Miss Long have been closely following after this Ye fellow? Isn’t that obvious enough? That little Northwest Mountain Village assuredly endorses this youngster named Ye."

Hong Tiandu clenched his teeth in secret and said in a low voice, "Cousin, although what you say is true, I am not convinced. One day, I will definitely defeat him."

Hong Gaishi shook his head slightly. He wanted to say that you probably won’t have the chance in this lifetime, but after all, he held back since the other was his own cousin.

After thinking for a moment, Hong Tiandu changed the subject and said, "By the way, cousin, do you think this Ye fellow will be able to pass the three challenges set up by the Buddhist Sect?"

Hong Gaishi asked back, "You’re asking me?"

Hong Tiandu immediately realized his mistake and hurriedly said, "Never mind, I won’t ask. I’ll shut up, okay?"

However, Hong Gaishi sneered and said, "You should know that I’m someone who never guesses. I only believe in the knife in my hand. If this youngster cannot pass, then it proves that he is not worthy of being my opponent. However, if he does, I, Hong Gaishi, will undoubtedly have a life-and-death battle with him!"

Meanwhile, Ye Feng had long since noticed the barefoot youth sitting cross-legged on the mountain peak in the blue robe. In fact, upon entering the Buddhist Sect, his spiritual power quickly spread out, so everything around him, including the actions of the people, could not escape his magic eye.

However, what shocked Ye Feng was that while he could see through everyone else with his spiritual power, only this handsome blue-robed youngster seemed to be shielded by a solid barrier that blocked his spiritual power.

No matter how Ye Feng tried to mobilize his spiritual power to break through this barrier, he was ultimately unsuccessful. It appeared that the blue-robed youth must possess a powerful magic treasure protecting him, and it was one capable of defending against spiritual power.

But one thing Ye Feng was certain of, when he tried to break through with his spiritual power, the other party had no reaction whatsoever. This meant that this handsome blue-robed youth did not have spiritual power emanating from his Sea of Consciousness.

"Fortunately, he has not developed spiritual power, otherwise, regardless, he would be a formidable opponent. Too strong. His aura is like the scorching sun in the sky, dazzling and impossible to look at directly, even I feel a sense of oppression just from seeing him," Ye Feng silently sighed in his heart.

Just then, perhaps sensing Ye Feng observing the blue-robed man, Sausage Sister suddenly said, "His name is Hong Gaishi, cousin to Hong Tiandu and Hong Jiutian, and of course, the top individual among the younger generation of the Hong Family of the Ancient Clan."

At this point, Sausage Sister lifted the corner of her mouth in a playful smile and added, "Oh yes, this man is also sort of the fiancé of Long Nannan."

Hearing this, Long Nannan bristled and retorted with a cold snort, "Sausage Sister, don’t talk nonsense. I have nothing to do with him. That kind of person always thinks too highly of himself, really thinking I would fancy him—really now."

Ye Feng now became quite interested, and couldn’t help but ask, "Sort of fiancé, what do you mean by that?"

So Sausage Sister explained, "This is what happened: years ago, an elder from the Hong Family of the Ancient Clan came to our village to propose marriage on behalf of Hong Gaishi, wanting to arrange a betrothal with Miss Long."

"Arrange a betrothal?" Ye Feng couldn’t help but frown and said, "What era is this, and yet they still…"

Before he could finish, Sausage Sister interrupted, "You don’t know; although this practice has fallen out of favor in the secular world, for the Four Great Ancient Clans and our little mountain village, this tradition is still preserved. So, arranging betrothals is not something strange to us, but as for the proposal from the Hong Family, Old Long with the Big Tobacco Pipe, oh right, that is Nannan’s grandfather, neither agreed nor rejected it at the time, only saying they would revisit it after eighteen years."

At that, Sausage Sister just shrugged her shoulders and sighed, "Probably because of that, the Hong Family assumes that Miss Long is practically Hong Gaishi’s fiancée."

Biting her tiny fangs in indignation, Long Nannan said, "That’s truly shameless. He probably just thinks too highly of himself, assuming that every woman in the world should like him. Just seeing his manner disgusts me."

Teasingly, Ye Feng smiled and said, "But honestly, this Hong Gaishi is quite handsome, don’t you think?"

Without hesitation, Long Nannan replied with a grin, "In my eyes, Little Martial Uncle is the most handsome man in the world."

"..." Ye Feng could only pretend not to hear and completely ignored her remark.
