Chapter 847: 0847 Marriage Alliance? (Second Update)

The incident involving Ye Qiu and the middle-aged man is still fermenting.

In the Capital City’s four major families, aside from the Ye family which has a unique relationship with Ye Qiu, other families such as the Wang and Xu families’ main figures have warned their descendants not to provoke Ye Qiu.

Xu Rui and Wang Lin are both utterly baffled, seeing the family has already taken action against Ye Qiu. Even if their side doesn’t make a move, would that guy really act as if nothing happened?

These two prominent young men of the Capital City could think this way, but actually, their elders similarly harbored these thoughts, albeit reluctantly valuing the advice from the family’s War God.

Of course, the War God only suggested trying not to provoke him, not that it was absolutely forbidden. Being such a prominent and powerful family in the Capital City, would they really fear a youth? Saying such would even be laughable.

However, these thoughts, harbored by the fathers of the prominent young men, remained unspoken. On the surface, they nodded in agreement, not defying the words of the family’s War God, but as to whether to continue targeting Ye Qiu, each held their own thoughts deep within.

The only major family still targeting Ye Qiu is the Liu family.

"Young Master Liu, lately the attitudes of Young Master Xu and Young Master Wang are quite strange. In the past, when we brought up Ye Qiu, they seemed indifferent, but just now, their expressions were somewhat peculiar," Ma Zhipeng said.

At the recent gathering of the young gentlemen of Capital City, Ma Zhipeng noticed the expressions of Xu Rui and Wang Lin and reported this to Liu Wen.

Liu Wen’s expression changed slightly. If not for Ma Zhipeng mentioning it, he wouldn’t have paid much attention. Now thinking carefully, it indeed seemed peculiar.

"The expressions of these two people are indeed worth deep thought. Could something have happened that I’m unaware of?" Liu Wen murmured, instructing Ma Zhipeng to quickly find someone to investigate whether something major happened in Capital City that was swiftly suppressed. If such an event had occurred, it might very likely explain the odd expressions on Xu Rui and Wang Lin’s faces.

Liu Wen, with his shrewd mind, immediately thought of this possibility.

As Liu Wen’s loyal right-hand, Ma Zhipeng was highly efficient in handling tasks. Before long, he returned with a serious face to report.

"Young Master Liu, you guessed right; something strange indeed happened in Capital City," Ma Zhipeng said.

Liu Wen raised his eyebrows slightly, "Oh? Let’s hear it."

"It’s like this, Young Master Liu..." Ma Zhipeng began to relay all the information he had gathered in detail.

After hearing these bits of information, Liu Wen fell silent for a while, pondering the interrelations of the little pieces of news.

"The area in front of Fengshan Villa looks like it was hit by a typhoon, all messed up? And someone claimed to have seen a battle involving deities?"

"Yes, but indeed someone is suppressing this news. I don’t know which family is behind it, but I specifically found that witness. I gave him a thousand yuan, and he then described the scene exactly as I just relayed," Ma Zhipeng said.

Liu Wen’s eyebrows furrowed together and then slowly relaxed, revealing a faint smile, "If there really were deities in this world, the skies would be filled with gods and Buddhas by now. I, Liu Wen, do not believe in the existence of gods; they are merely figments of human imagination. I rather think that this was done by humans."

Ma Zhipeng exclaimed, "How could a human possibly have such destructive power!"

Liu Wen smiled subtly, speaking softly, "Ordinary people naturally don’t, but there are beings known as Martial Artists in this world. Ye Qiu only became a major because he killed the Rakshasa demons causing chaos in Huaxia, otherwise why would the higher-ups give such a huge reward?"

"What Young Master Liu means is, it could possibly have been Ye Qiu? If he’s that powerful, aren’t we courting death by going against him?" Ma Zhipeng’s face turned pale. He had frequently helped Young Master Liu come up with ideas to deal with Ye Qiu. If Ye Qiu really had such abilities, Ma Zhipeng’s own future would be very bleak.

Liu Wen scoffed disdainfully, patting Ma Zhipeng’s shoulder, "Is he that strong? You’re thinking too much!"

"Why would Young Master Liu say this?"

Liu Wen slowly stood up and while walking, he said: "Although I am not a Martial Artist, I still have some understanding. Ye Qiu is about my age. Even if he started practicing martial arts from the womb, it would be impossible for him to achieve such power. Such destructive force surely signifies the involvement of someone akin to a War God."

"War God?" Ma Zhipeng was puzzled.

Liu Wen chuckled twice; he felt no need to explain, for in his Liu family there indeed existed a War God. Even more so, he had been fortunate enough to witness this War God himself. Speaking of which, this person was from his grandfather’s generation, his father revered him immensely. Such individuals, in the whole Capital City, do not exceed ten. They are the final pillar behind the family; unless it is a matter of life and death for the family, they would not appear. As far as he knew, this grandfather-level figure was the Liu family’s War God, silently guarding the Liu family.

According to his father, this War God had been practicing martial arts since a young age and has now reached the realm of Unity of Heaven and Man, akin to a deity, controlling the forces of nature.

Upon hearing the scenes described by Ma Zhipeng, only such a powerful individual could achieve this. As for Ye Qiu, being so young, he would need to train for a hundred more years to become such a powerful figure.

Liu Wen did not believe that Ye Qiu was a War God level Martial Artist. As for the expressions of Wang Lin and Xu Rui, they probably knew it was a fight involving a War God level and found it bizarre. That this came up specifically when speaking of Ye Qiu was probably just a coincidence.

Ye Family.

The elder of the Ye family, listening to Elder Jiang’s description, looked towards the man behind Elder Jiang, "Did you personally see Young Master Ye use his own hands?"

"Yes, I personally witnessed it."

Old Master Ye drank a sip of tea, suppressing the surprise in his heart, and said: "I didn’t expect Young Master Ye’s strength to have reached the level of a War God. No wonder the Wang and Xu families have withdrawn their slander against Young Master Ye these past days."

"In my opinion, the War Gods of both the Xu and Wang families must have been present; otherwise, why would they make such a move without reason?" Elder Jiang thoughtfully said slowly.

Old Master Ye nodded, thinking this possibility highly likely.

"If only Young Master Ye truly was of my Ye family’s bloodline, so young yet already a War God strong enough that even if I were to die now, I’d be willing," he exclaimed.

The Ye family lacked a War God level Martial Artist, which was a constant worry in Old Master Ye’s heart. Contrary to this, the Liu, Wang, and Xu families not only held immense political power but also had War God level Martial Artists who could provide them with the chance of a comeback even if they lost a political battle.

But this was not the case for his Ye family.

"What a pity, my Ye family lacks such a heavenly destiny, to produce a prodigious talent like Young Master Ye. With him in the Ye family, coupled with my grandson Ye Sa, regaining the pinnacle could indeed be possible," Old Master Ye sighed deeply.

Seeing the old officer in this state, Elder Jiang suddenly said: "Since Old Master Ye admires Young Master Ye so much, why not make him part of the Ye family?"

Old Master Ye gave a wry smile and shook his head: "Don’t you think I haven’t thought of that before? Otherwise, why would I have adopted him as my godson under my deceased son’s name?"

Elder Jiang continued: "Old officer, becoming a part of the Ye family isn’t just the only way, why not consider a marriage alliance?"

"Marriage alliance?" Old Master Ye’s eyes suddenly gleamed, and he perked up.

But his brow soon furrowed again: "A marriage alliance is indeed feasible, but my Ye family doesn’t have any girl of suitable age to marry Young Master Ye."

"Old officer, have you forgotten about our Miss Ye Shuang?"

"Her..." Old Master Ye’s eyes flickered thoughtfully, and he immediately fell silent.
