The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 563: Turn Around! Brush Past!

Life is like a play, and the play reflects life.

Every day in this world, dramatic scenes unfold, often driving people more insane than a movie plot.

Who could have foreseen that the Songs, who just a few days ago could summon wind and rain at will in Capital City, would suffer a brutal downfall from the ranks of the city’s prominent families overnight?

If someone had suggested a few days earlier that the Songs were about to be annihilated, everyone would have assumed that person had been kicked in the head by a donkey.

Yet reality is just that damn annoying. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

In their attempt to keep the Bais under their control, Bai Yanping, Bai Yanjun, and others believed that by clinging to the high branch of the Songs, they could make the family prosper in their hands. Thus, they did not hesitate to poison their own father and falsely accuse their biological brother of corruption and bribery. However, as the Songs fell, these heartless beasts became utterly destitute.

Every cause has its effect.

Just as Ye Chenfeng said, everyone must take responsibility for their actions.

After Elder Bai kicked out scum like Bai Yanping and Bai Yanjun from the Bais, he immediately instructed the kitchen staff to prepare a sumptuous midday feast and warmly welcomed Ye Chenfeng. Just the fact that Chenfeng had saved his life twice was enough for him to personally do so.

The lunch was filled with joy, especially because Elder Bai and Bai Yanxin were extremely enthusiastic toward Ye Chenfeng, continuously adding dishes to his bowl. Bai Xueling, on the other hand, just quietly ate a few bites of her meal, occasionally glancing at Ye Chenfeng with her beautiful eyes, leaving one to wonder what she was thinking.

"Chenfeng, since it’s rare for you to visit our Bai family, why don’t you let Xueling take you for a stroll in the Bai family’s garden? You young people have more in common to talk about," Elder Bai said to Ye Chenfeng after the meal.

Ye Chenfeng had no intention of wasting time at the Bais. He had planned to start training Wang Li and the others right after Ye Dongjian and Ning Minyan’s wedding, but then the explosion happened at the wedding, followed by accompanying Bai Xueling to visit Elder Bai at the hospital, which led to a series of events.

Moreover, Ye Chenfeng had already made an agreement with Hei Xin that in two months, on the occasion of an unprecedented grand event in the Empire of Devour, they intended to take the opportunity to shatter the Empire of Devour completely. After all, Ye Chenfeng and the Empire of Devour had unresolved grievances; even if Chenfeng didn’t go after the Empire of Devour, ultimately, its people would come after him.

Beyond the Empire of Devour, Chenfeng would also have to advance into the Ancient Martial World in the future and ensure that the Xuantian Sect completely vanishes from that realm. Who knew what the Ancient Martial World was like? Who knew what he would encounter there? Therefore, Ye Chenfeng needed to prepare in advance and train a force capable of contending with any power in the Ancient Martial World.

So, for Ye Chenfeng, every minute was crucial at the moment. Faced with the technologically advanced Empire of Devour and the mysteriously powerful Ancient Martial World, the pressure on him was enormous.

"Elder Bai, you see, I’ve had my meal and I’ve accepted your family’s gratitude. There will be plenty of opportunities to meet in the future. I think I’ll head back now," Ye Chenfeng casually said.

This time Elder Bai did not respond; instead, it was Bai Xueling—who had remained silent throughout the lunch—that spoke up, "Ye Chenfeng, I’d like to take a bit of your time. There’s something I want to ask you. Let’s talk in the garden."

Seeing Bai Xueling’s serious demeanor, Ye Chenfeng found it hard to refuse, "Alright, then I’ll accompany you to the garden."

As Elder Bai watched the retreating figures of Ye Chenfeng and Bai Xueling vanish from the living room, a pleased smile emerged on his face. Bai Yanxin, puzzled, asked, "Dad, you’re not still thinking of getting Chenfeng to be your granddaughter’s husband, are you?"

Elder Bai nodded with a smile and said, "Yanxin, I’ve been blind once before, and I don’t want to be blind a second, or third time. Although I do not plan to interfere with Xueling’s marriage anymore, if there is a possibility between her and Chenfeng, I will spare no expense to support them."

"Dad, our family owes the Yes too much, especially Ye Chenfeng," Bai Yanxin sighed.

Elder Bai nodded in deep agreement and said, "Alright, let nature take its course with Xueling’s matter! Yanxin, you’re too softhearted. Those bastards I kicked out of the house might come to you for mercy, but you’d better not pay them any attention. Consider who poisoned me? Who fabricated evidence to frame you for corruption? And who almost defiled Xueling? They no longer deserve to be part of the Bais. From now on, the burden of the Bais will fall on your shoulders."

Bai Yanxin’s expression grew more solemn as he said, "Dad, rest assured, I won’t be softhearted this time. From now on, I’ll be the one to uphold our family."

...

In the Bais’ garden.

Flowers of all varieties bloomed competitively, their faint fragrance wafting through the air, instantly uplifting one’s mood.

The warm sunlight poured down from the sky, and Bai Xueling and Ye Chenfeng, one after the other, walked silently in the garden for three or four minutes.

Ye Chenfeng broke the silence, "I say, Bai Xueling, what is it that you want to ask me? It couldn’t be that you’ve fallen for me, right? You know I already have so many women I cherish. At most, you could only be a very minor addition to my concubines."

Bai Xueling turned around, saw the careless expression on Ye Chenfeng’s face in the sunlight, and said, "Ye Chenfeng, you’re too full of yourself! I, Bai Xueling, have liked someone for a long time now, someone a hundred, no, a thousand times better than you. I asked you to take a walk in the garden because I wanted to thank you in person—for helping the Bais again and again."

"Bai Xueling, you think I want to help the Bais? If it weren’t for your thick-skinned nature, if it weren’t for my overflowing sympathy, I wouldn’t bother with this mess!" A very smug smile appeared on Ye Chenfeng’s lips.

"Ye Chenfeng, you, you, you’re just an absolute jerk." Bai Xueling almost wanted to rush forward and bite him fiercely, recalling the first helpless night she spent at the Yes, under a sky full of stars, crying while biting Ye Chenfeng’s shoulder, with him just letting her vent. Thinking about that moment, her mood suddenly improved, and the anger subsided.

"Forget it, Ye Chenfeng, I don’t want to stoop to your level," Bai Xueling brushed a lock of hair from her forehead and continued, "Besides thanking you, I want to ask about someone. You must be familiar with the Soldier King Group, right? I heard that half of its members followed you after leaving the group?"

"The person I like is very likely a member of the Soldier King Group. During a critical moment, he saved me in the Taiping Mountain Range while wearing a mask. Do you know him? I think the man I like must be more formidable than you." Bai Xueling had always regarded the man in the mask as her knight in shining armor. However, after recent events, Ye Chenfeng’s image became increasingly persistent in her heart, leaving her to tell herself through this kind of self-hypnosis that the man she, Bai Xueling, liked was the masked man from the Taiping Mountains.

Ye Chenfeng inwardly smiled wryly. Wasn’t he the man in the mask from the Taiping Mountains? Without showing any sign on his face, he casually said, "Bai Xueling, when did you become so undiscriminating? You fell for someone without even seeing his face. What if he’s hideously ugly?"

"Ye Chenfeng, how can you be so superficial? If I truly like someone, I definitely wouldn’t care about their appearance. Even if he looked like Zhu Bajie, I, Bai Xueling, would still like him without any reservations. Do you know such a person or not?" Bai Xueling looked at Ye Chenfeng with disdain.

Ye Chenfeng found the conversation extremely awkward—as if she was indirectly saying he looked like Zhu Bajie. Nonetheless, he replied casually, "I don’t know this person you’re talking about. Maybe he’s not a member of the Soldier King Group."

Bai Xueling spoke with a hint of disappointment, "Okay then! You may leave."

Turning around! Passing by each other!

Ye Chenfeng walked away from the Bais’ residence under the warm sunlight, feeling no romantic emotions towards Bai Xueling. Besides, he had plenty of women in his life already and had always been a loving but not promiscuous man.

Fate has intertwined many lives, and avoidance is only temporary. The outcome has long been destined, and those who belong together will inevitably be together. (To be continued.
