Yang Feilong thought to himself, "I used to think Liu Lei was not very intelligent, easily manipulated by Li Feng. But the facts prove that few young masters from prominent families are truly lacking. An impulsive moment can happen, but after the impulse, calmness will eventually return!"
The reason he harbored such thoughts was mainly because Liu Lei's actions didn't stir any ill feelings in him.
As the saying goes, one doesn't strike a smiling face!
Liu Lei's demeanor at this moment prevented Yang Feilong from feeling any animosity, a stark contrast to yesterday.
Of course, Yang Feilong understood that Liu Lei was intimidated. Simultaneously, he had also let go of his anger. If he hadn't let go, how could he have behaved this way?
"Alright, there's no need to dwell on other matters. We won't overstay our welcome!" Liu Tongjun said with a smile. "Feilong, you and Liu Lei are around the same age. You should communicate more in the future. If you ever need help, don't hesitate to ask!"
"That's right!" other members of the Liu family chimed in.
"Thank you for your kindness, Uncle Liu. I will," Yang Feilong replied after a brief pause.
Hearing Yang Feilong's words, Liu Tongjun secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was enough that he accepted their gesture; this indicated that the conflict between his son and Yang Feilong had been completely resolved.
After some more pleasantries, the Liu family left, their visit as brief as it was sudden.
If it weren't for the congratulatory gifts still present, everyone might have thought it was a dream.
To this day, no one understood why the Liu family had made such a decision. Was it because of Yang Feilong's medical skills displayed yesterday?
Although Yang Feilong's medical skills were extraordinary, it didn't seem sufficient for the Liu family to make such a grand gesture of apology.
Yes, they were called congratulatory gifts, but that was a polite way of putting it. In reality, these were amends for Liu Lei's words and actions yesterday.
It was well known that Liu Lei had suffered a significant loss. For him to visit and apologize under such circumstances, didn't that implicitly show they feared Yang Feilong?
Yang Feilong's medical skills were indeed formidable, but were they enough to warrant such an action from the Liu family?
Only Li Yufei faintly sensed something. Could it be that the Liu family had learned through some channel that Yang Feilong's martial arts talent was also immensely powerful and extraordinary?
But how would the Liu family know? After all, in their own Li family, only she and her grandfather, Li Zhengtang, were aware of it.
Could it be that yesterday...
Vaguely, Li Yufei felt she might have guessed something.
At this moment, a figure approached.
"Father!"
"Second Uncle!"
"Second Master!"
"Second Uncle!"
"Grandpa!"
"..."
Everyone greeted him. Indeed, the person who arrived was the elder Mr. Li Zhengtang.
"Are you all wondering about the Liu family's actions?" Elder Li Zhengtang asked everyone with a smile.
"Father, we are indeed curious. Although Feilong's medical skills are extraordinary, it's not enough for the Liu family to humble themselves so much!" Li Gang said, glancing at Yang Feilong. His question was shared by everyone.
"Feilong, did the Liu family find out about your strength?" Li Zhengtang didn't answer his son's question but looked at Yang Feilong.
"Yes!" Yang Feilong nodded.
Liu Lei knew, and with so many high-ranking members of the Liu family present, they clearly knew too.
"Since they all know, I won't hide it from my own family," Li Zhengtang nodded and then said to everyone, "Feilong possesses great ancient martial arts talent and strength!"
"Ancient martial arts talent and strength?" Everyone's eyes flashed. They recalled the scene of Yang Feilong beating Liu Lei yesterday.
Liu Lei was at the peak of the Void Martial Realm, and Yang Feilong was able to defeat him. This clearly indicated he had reached the True Martial Realm. Being a True Martial Realm cultivator under twenty years old was indeed extraordinary talent, but talent didn't equate to ultimate strength!
Could it be... Yang Feilong wasn't at the True Martial Realm, but at the Profound Martial Realm?
Being at the Profound Martial Realm under twenty years old was truly exceptional talent!
But in the next moment, Li Zhengtang spoke, "Feilong's strength is greater than mine!"
"What?"
"How is that possible?"
"Second Grandfather, you are at the peak of the Spirit Martial Realm. If he's stronger than you, could he have reached the Origin Martial Realm? That... that's impossible!"
"..."
Everyone stared at Li Zhengtang, their mouths agape, then looked at Yang Feilong, each with an expression of disbelief.
"Don't doubt it. It's true!" Li Zhengtang said again. "I sparred with him, and I was defeated by him! And not just once!"
"..."
The elder spoke again. Although everyone still found it hard to believe, they accepted the fact. At this moment, everyone finally understood.
"No wonder!"
"Yes, no wonder the Liu family would be so humble."
"Origin Martial Realm at under twenty years old? Even if not Origin Martial Realm, he's a top-tier Spirit Martial Realm cultivator, on the verge of breaking through to Origin Martial Realm. Such brilliant talent, his future achievements are unimaginable!"
Li Yufei listened to her clansmen's discussions, her expression dazed.
She didn't know much about ancient martial arts. Although most people in their family cultivated ancient martial arts, she didn't like it, so she didn't know how strong Yang Feilong's talent truly was. Now, hearing everyone's discussions and seeing their shocked expressions, she finally understood something. No wonder Grandpa was directly giving her the shares, and no wonder Grandpa didn't even mind Yang Feilong having other women!
Her feelings were inexplicably complicated. Such an outstanding man, who should have been her boyfriend, but due to her own reserve, now could only be a friend. Unless she lowered her own standards and was willing to be one among many, but that wasn't what she envisioned for love. She truly found it difficult to accept.
Her grandfather and her father were both monogamous. Why, when it came to her, should she accept being one of many?
Li Gang and Mu Feng exchanged glances, seeing the look of pleasant surprise in each other's eyes.
Their daughter had managed to reel in such a desirable catch!
It was infinitely more perfect than they had ever hoped for!
If there was anyone whose feelings were the most shaken at this moment, it was undoubtedly Li Feng.
From the arrival of Liu Lei and his family, he had been stunned. Now, he was even more bewildered.
"Yang Feilong, my brother-in-law, he's actually stronger than Grandpa? Exceptionally talented, medically brilliant, powerful, handsome, and able to partner with my sister to start a company, making over a hundred million in profits in a short time. Such a perfect person? How could my sister be so lucky?" Li Feng felt utterly suffocated.
He knew it was over!
The family's group of companies would likely not fall into his hands.
Yang Feilong's excellence made Li Feng intensely jealous, and a boundless sense of powerlessness welled up within him.
"Right, Yufei and Feilong are still young. No need to rush into marriage or anything! Don't be too hasty about this!" Li Zhengtang said to Li Gang and Mu Feng.
"Uh, Dad..." Hearing the elder's words, the couple became anxious. How could they not strike while the iron was hot?
Once the engagement was settled, this prize catch wouldn't escape, would he? But if they didn't settle it, there would be plenty of prominent families willing to form a marital alliance with him.
They didn't realize that Yang Feilong and Li Yufei were not a couple. The elder naturally hoped his granddaughter would get engaged to Yang Feilong, but he was afraid that if he pushed Yang Feilong too hard, Yang Feilong might directly reveal the truth, which would be troublesome.
"Grandpa is right!" Li Yufei also chimed in.
"That's exactly what we're planning!" Yang Feilong also spoke quickly.
Hearing Yang Feilong speak, Li Yufei cast him a resentful glance.
Listening to Yang Feilong's hurried words, as if he were afraid she would cling to him, made her inexplicably unhappy. She turned and walked outside. Yang Feilong's heart skipped a beat upon seeing this, and he quickly followed, "Yufei."
