Rebirth of the Peak Young Master-Chapter 18 Lifelong Slavery

"Ye Fei?"

Looking at the figure who stood up in her moment of deepest despair, Guo Can immediately recognized him—it was Ye Fei!

"Bring your father and uncle to stand behind me. I will ensure your safety!" Ye Fei said with a faint smile.

"Safety?"

Master Ma, who was nearly out of the stone gate, sneered as he heard Ye Fei's words. "You can't even protect yourself, yet you claim to ensure someone else's safety? Hah! What an impudent little brat!"

Although Guo Can was seething with hatred for Master Ma's betrayal, hearing his words made her expression involuntarily turn despondent once more.

After all, in her eyes, even the supposedly profound and powerful Master Ma could only kneel and beg for mercy before fleeing in disgrace.

How could Ye Fei possibly stand against this Green-Faced Ghost King?

Let alone protect her, her father, and her uncle.

With a sigh, Guo Can said, "Ye Fei, your kindness is appreciated, but..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Ye Fei raised a single hand, and a swirl of dark energy coiled around him.

A moment later, a black vortex formed in his palm.

"Devour!"

Ye Fei extended his hand forward, slamming it directly onto the Green-Faced Ghost King.

The Ghost King's face instantly twisted in terror as it desperately tried to flee. However, the vortex in Ye Fei's hand was like a black hole—once caught, there was no escape.

In just moments, the Ghost King was completely devoured by Ye Fei. Only a faint trace of ghost energy lingered in the air, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

"I made a promise to Elder Guo to ensure your safety, and I will naturally fulfill it."

Ye Fei turned around and looked at Guo Can, his tone calm as he spoke.

Looking at the tranquil Ye Fei before her, then at the Ghost King that had vanished without a trace,

the Guo Brothers' eyes widened in disbelief. Even with their ignorance, they now finally understood: compared to the boastful Master Ma, Ye Fei, who had single-handedly exterminated the Ghost King, was the true master!

Guo Can covered her mouth in astonishment and exclaimed, "Ye Fei, you... how are you so powerful? Why didn't you say so earlier?"

"If I had told you, would you have believed me?" Ye Fei replied calmly.

His words left Guo Can, along with her father and uncle, red-faced with embarrassment.

That's right!

From the moment Ye Fei intervened to save Guo Huaiyuan, though his words carried an air of pride, they conveyed everything that needed to be known.

Yet they had failed to see it. They foolishly dismissed Ye Fei as a pretender.

Instead, they treated the deceitful and incompetent Master Ma, who betrayed them in their moment of need, as an honored guest.

At the thought of Master Ma, everyone instinctively looked over.

Master Ma's face was now filled with fear. But when he saw Ye Fei looking in his direction, he let out a sharp cry and attempted to flee.

"Come back!"

Ye Fei's faint command resounded, and Master Ma, who already had one foot out of the stone gate, abruptly stopped. It was as though an invisible rope had bound him, and he was pulled back mid-air, crashing to the ground before Ye Fei.

Terrified, Master Ma tried to get up and flee again, only to meet Ye Fei's icy gaze. His body trembled violently, and he collapsed into a kneeling position, the arrogance and airs of a so-called enlightened master completely gone.

"My lord... my lord, please spare me! I... I was blind, I have sinned! Please grant me mercy, my lord!"

Before Ye Fei, Master Ma kowtowed continuously, not daring to show even the slightest hint of resistance.

After all, the Ghost King from earlier had severely injured him with just a mere wave of its hand.

Yet that same Ghost King had been effortlessly obliterated by Ye Fei.

What else could he do but beg for mercy?

However, Ye Fei remained unmoved as he looked at Master Ma and said, "I don't want your life, nor your groveling pleas for forgiveness."

"My lord... does this mean you're letting me go?" Master Ma asked cautiously.

"No! I only want your memories!" Ye Fei replied calmly.

Memories? Soul Search?

At Ye Fei's words, Master Ma's face went pale instantly.

As a cultivator, although he had never witnessed it firsthand, he had heard stories of high-level cultivators possessing techniques to probe another's memories—known as Soul Search.

Once subjected to Soul Search, at worst one would become a complete idiot. At best, complete annihilation of the Divine Soul.

Was Ye Fei about to use Soul Search? Could it be that Ye Fei wasn't merely an Innate Martial King but a senior Cultivator far beyond his comprehension?

At the thought that Ye Fei might be such a high-level cultivator, Master Ma was consumed by regret. Had he known, he wouldn't have dared to mock Ye Fei, not even with a thousand lifetimes' worth of courage!

But Ye Fei didn't wait for consent. With a single finger, he tapped Master Ma's forehead. Black energy swirled, extracting all of Master Ma's memories.

"So, it turns out you only stumbled upon some Ghost Path inheritance by chance," Ye Fei remarked indifferently after completing the Soul Search.

"I... I'm fine? I'm not an idiot?"

Upon realizing the search was over, Master Ma became ecstatic, exclaiming, "Thank you, my lord, for sparing me! Thank you!"

"Your life is spared, but you won't go unpunished. From now on, you will serve as my slave. Serve me faithfully, and not only will I spare you, but I will also grant you great power!"

Who was Ye Fei?

A Cultivator! Not just any cultivator, but one possessing the complete memories of the Soul-controlling Demon!

Manipulating minds was second nature to him.

He didn't need Master Ma's genuine loyalty; he only needed his fear.

As long as Ye Fei remained more powerful, Master Ma would forever revere him as though facing a god!

Feeling the demonic aura emanating from Ye Fei, Master Ma's legs buckled, and he fell to his knees. "This servant greets his master!"

Watching the once-arrogant Master Ma now prostrate and calling himself a servant,

Guo Can and the Guo Brothers could only sigh deeply in their hearts.

When they first met Ye Fei, they had dismissed this seemingly youthful seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy.

His words had been treated as little more than a joke, mocked and ridiculed.

Yet now, Ye Fei had extinguished the Ghost King with a single hand and subdued Master Ma with a single gesture. Like a god walking among men, his actions were as unassailable as they were astonishing, leaving them all shamefully aware of their poor judgment.

"Father... Father truly has keen insight! A figure as godlike as Ye Fei—if our Guo Family can form a connection with him, it would be an unimaginable blessing!"

Guo Huaiyuan spoke while glancing at his elder brother, Guo Wenyuan, and sighed deeply.

In this journey, if Master Ma had been the one to ridicule Ye Fei the most, Guo Wenyuan was undoubtedly second.

Now, the ever-dominant Guo Wenyuan stood frozen, filled with terror and dread.

The Guo Family might wield wealth and power in Yuntai, but in the face of a being like Ye Fei—capable of celestial feats—what did any of their accomplishments truly amount to?
