Chapter 160: Chapter 160: The Fall of the Xie Family Requires Only a Word from Alchemist Chu

"Uh..." Chu Feng’s lips curled up slightly, revealing a peculiar smile.

The senior members of the Xie Family are really interesting, each with the same repugnant visage. They switch faces as easily as a child flips through a book, changing instantly when it suits them.

A moment ago, they showed disdain for Chu Feng, and in the blink of an eye, they assumed a position of kneeling before him.

Just by looking at the sycophantic smiles they show Chu Feng, you can tell what’s on their minds now.

Xie Bing could hardly believe her ears, and that her father had changed attitudes was one thing. But to think even Old Master Xie would also be so... shameless. The image of these two elders she held in her heart was completely overturned.

At this moment, she felt like she was a princess, and those who seemed unattainable and were too powerful to confront before were now all submitting and fawning over her.

Even General Li, who dared to smash the Vice Minister Mansion of the Xie Family, was now on his knees before her, sobbing and begging for mercy.

As for Xie Baogui, the so-called number one talent and young elite of the Xie Family, he now lay discarded like trash.

Suddenly, not only were her own problems easily solved, but the crisis facing the Xie Family was no longer a matter of concern.

"Is this the power held by the strong?" Xie Bing could not help but turn to look at Chu Feng, who was holding her jade hand all this while.

All of this was granted to her by Chu Feng.

This guy, just how much strength has he been hiding? Could it be true that his Alchemy skills have become so great that they would compel so many important figures to seek his favor so earnestly?

Xie Bing looked at Chu Feng with a gaze full of inquiry and curiosity.

She felt secretly fortunate, that she had thickened her skin to ask Chu Feng to pretend to be her boyfriend.

After experiencing the pleasure of such supreme power, she could not help but start to hope for something more from Chu Feng, her fake boyfriend. It wouldn’t be bad at all if he became her real boyfriend.

At that thought, her pretty face blushed, and she felt embarrassed by the thoughts in her heart.

"Madam Chu of the future, just now this lowly one was blind and failed to recognize a great person. Punish or hit me as you see fit, please raise your noble hand and spare my life!" General Li’s voice shocked Xie Bing from her tumultuous thoughts.

To win sympathy and Xie Bing’s forgiveness, he started to slap his own face repeatedly.

In the blink of an eye, welts appeared on his originally dignified face, and it quickly became red and swollen.

"Who is Madam Chu now..." Xie Bing felt a surge of embarrassment.

At the end of it all, she was a kind-hearted girl. Her heart softened, completely forgetting how this ferocious General Li had tried to abduct her not long ago.

"You may stand up, and do not bully others again!" said Xie Bing with a sweet and pleasant voice.

To the anxious General Li, it sounded like the most melodious chorus from heaven.

He kowtowed several times to Xie Bing, got up with a face full of joy, and when looking at the poised young man standing beside Xie Bing, he felt as if he was looking up at a great Xiong Mountain standing between heaven and earth.

Today, he had taken a detour at Ghost Gate Pass.

All because he had offended this unremarkable young man in front of him.

"Thank you, Alchemist Chu, for your great mercy!" General Li gave Chu Feng a deep bow.

"Next time, if you dare to have any improper thoughts about her, I will have your head!" Chu Feng was not as easy to talk to as Xie Bing. "Scram!"

With a thunderous roar, General Li fled with his head in his arms.

After settling the matter with General Li, Chu Feng turned to Xie Bing with a warm smile. All his heroic passion, supreme dominance, and iron-blooded spirit transformed into tender solicitude for a beauty.

"From now on, if anyone dares to force you to do anything you dislike, come to me! I will ensure they regret being born, suffering a fate worse than death," Chu Feng declared with supreme authority.

Though dressed in simple clothes, he outshone those arrayed in silk and gemstones by far.

Be it Xie Baogui, Qiao Dusi, or Old Master Xie... all bowed their heads before him.

Those who looked down on him could now only look up to him.

"Alchemist Chu is truly a heroic youth. His deep protective care for the lady is indeed admirable to us all!" The Mo Family Master had sought an audience with Chu Feng several times but had never succeeded.

This time, he had received news that Chu Feng was attending Vice Minister Xie’s Longevity Banquet.

And yet, he was humiliated by not even having a seat.

Upon learning this, he immediately set aside all his affairs and rushed to Xie Mansion as fast as possible. This was a perfect opportunity to curry favour with Chu Feng.

But he had not expected that he wasn’t the only one with the same intention.

Chairman Bao’en, Manager Qiu, and others also made it to Xie Mansion in record time.

Just now, the Hong Family Master had already made an appearance before Chu Feng, offering an eager courtesy. The Mo Family Master, having been on the sidelines for so long, was growing impatient.

Alchemist Chu had already become the Hong Family’s Guest Alchemist, with a close relationship. If this continued, where would it leave his Mo Family?

He immediately stepped forward with a smile and began to earnestly flatter Chu Feng.

"It is an immense honor for Alchemist Chu to attend the Xie Mansion’s Longevity Banquet. I heard that those blind dogs of the Xie Family didn’t even arrange a seat for you!"

"Alchemist Chu is magnanimous and does not hold a grudge against the Xie Family. However, I cannot overlook this."

"Just say the word today, Alchemist Chu, and I guarantee the immediate downfall of the Xie Family. From the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue to the descendants of the Xie Family, all will end up as beggars on the streets."

The Mo Family Master said this with a chilling decisiveness.

With just Chu Feng’s nod, he promised to bring about the Xie Family’s demise straightaway.

Old Master Xie, Xie Baogui, and all the high-ranking members of the Xie Family turned pale. With the Mo Family’s power, bringing down the Xie Family would indeed not be difficult.

Chu Feng watched with some astonishment as the Mo Family Master went to great lengths to ingratiate himself.

Was it just to recruit him to the Mo Family as a Guest Alchemist? Was such an effort really necessary?

Chu Feng’s face remained indifferent, but Old Master Xie and the others could not remain calm. They were anxious in their hearts; after generations of effort, the Xie Family had finally achieved today’s status.

The people of the Xie Family had also been living a good life.

Now, just because of neglecting Chu Feng, they could be ruined. None of them were willing to end up squatting on the streets, braving the northwest winds.

"Cough... Xie Bing, look at how your great-grandfather has always taken good care of your father and the others. The word ’Xie’ represents both of us; we’re all one family. Could you please speak a few good words on our behalf to Prince Chu Feng?"

Old Master Xie pleaded with a earnest look while also giving Xie Bing’s father a knowing glance.

They played the card of family bonds, asking Xie Bing to plead with Chu Feng to show mercy and spare the Xie Family.

"Chu Feng, my dad and great-grandfather know they were wrong. How about we just let it go?" Xie Bing said softly, with a coquettish tone as she pleaded with Chu Feng.

Her demeanor and tone were entirely that of a young girl imploring her beloved with a soft, sweet voice.
