Ye Feng stood at the edge of the living room, casually looking around.
The Ouyang family is really in trouble. In my memory, the servants outside used to be always coming and going, busy and bustling.
Now, there's not even anyone to pour tea, and I've just been left here.
However, Ye Feng was dressed in hemp clothing, making him look almost like a servant.
To make the annulment of the engagement go more smoothly, he even wore his storage belt inside.
Although this world doesn't respect heaven and earth, it still has one master, two fathers, and three sects.
Even after achieving Foundation Establishment, one must abide by the marriage agreement set by one's parents.
At the very least, they must provide sufficient compensation.
If one uses their power to oppress others, or even eliminates them completely?
If you are completely unaffected psychologically afterward, then you are no different from the demonic path, and you will be eliminated by others.
"Brother Feng..."
Before anyone was even seen, a sweet, coquettish voice came from the back room.
Ye Feng turned his head and saw a woman wearing a white silk dress with a deep V-neck and a large white flower hairpin walking gracefully out from behind.
It's no wonder the original owner was so infatuated with Ouyang Yan.
A pair of long, narrow, captivating phoenix eyes, and a charming smile always playing at the corners of her lips.
Even in a five-star club, it would be among the top five...
"wind...."
Ouyang Yan's voice stopped abruptly upon seeing Ye Feng's attire.
What's going on here?
The person who had originally come straight for Ye Feng passed by him and went to sit down in the main seat, away from Ye Feng.
"Brother Ye, we're not even married yet. Aren't you afraid people will gossip about me if you come looking for me like this?"
She really is pretentious and manipulative; her expression changed immediately upon seeing his outfit.
“Ouyang Yan, there’s no need for further words. You’ve wanted to annul the engagement time and time again, and I’ve come here this time to do as you wish and annul the engagement.”
Ouyang Yan raised an eyebrow and looked Ye Feng over again.
How can they be so tough?
Ye Feng's aloofness made Ouyang Yan feel uneasy for a moment.
She used to say she wanted to break off the engagement just to get something in return, but now that Ye Feng had actually come, she was starting to feel uncertain again.
This is a long-term meal ticket; we've been eating from it for so many years, and now you're just going to run away?
"Oh dear, Brother Ye, what are you saying? Yan'er was just trying to make you jealous. You've been gone for three years, and I... I've been so lonely, I've missed you so much, that's why..."
Ye Feng felt a chill run down his spine, realizing he had made a grave mistake.
The original owner of this body drooled over her every time she saw her, only to be rejected in return.
When I explained my purpose, she countered with a "retreat and I advance" maneuver...
"Really? Yan'er... Me too. I can't go back to my sect now. I'll stay home and keep you company from now on, okay?"
Ye Feng, completely embracing his dramatic persona, stood up and lunged forward.
If you don't see her as your fiancée, but rather as someone else's wife, she's actually quite interesting...
Ouyang Yan stood up and moved away, her eyes once again filled with disgust.
"What do you mean by saying we can't go back to the sect?"
"Sigh... I failed to advance, so there's no hope of entering the outer sect..."
"Then why did you come to see me? Oh, right, you said you wanted to annul the engagement? Fine, then annul it!"
Actually, the family had planned this for a while, but they were hesitant because it would be difficult to save face, and Ouyang Yan was still able to get benefits from them, so they delayed it.
Ouyang Yan immediately turned hostile and ordered a maid to fetch her father.
This time, Ye Feng didn't need to pretend anymore. He sat in his chair, looking at Ouyang Yan across from him who didn't even glance at him, and sneered inwardly.
As expected of a heartless bitch, I'll settle the score with you after I get the marriage certificate back!
A short while later, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties walked in.
"Oh dear, isn't this Nephew Ye? Why did you come alone? I remember you have an old servant at home, why aren't you with him?"
Ye Feng's face twitched, forcing a smile.
"I have met Uncle Ouyang. My old servant has long since passed away, and my cultivation has also declined. I can say I have nothing left, so I have no choice but to leave the sect."
Since Ouyang Yan wants to annul the engagement, I have come as agreed, hoping that my uncle will return some of the betrothal gifts so that I can make a living.
Ouyang Xiong's eyes flashed, and then he angrily roared at Ouyang Yan.
"What nonsense are you spouting? How dare you treat Ye Feng like that!"
As he spoke, he pretended to hit her.
Ouyang Yan looked aggrieved.
"That's how it is. You supported him before, didn't you? What's the point of keeping a good-for-nothing around?"
After saying that, he ran out.
Ye Feng was somewhat taken aback by the scene before him.
What... is going on? Did I use too much force?
Then Ouyang Xiong warmly received Ye Feng, found him a room to rest, and had someone prepare a meal for him.
Ye Feng sat in the guest room, somewhat embarrassed.
In the original owner's memories, Ouyang Xiong wasn't this kind of person, was he?
"Son-in-law, please enjoy your meal!"
An old servant placed the food down and left.
Ye Feng watched the old servant's departing figure, his nose twitching slightly.
He reached into his waistband and pulled out a medicine book, flipping through a few pages.
"The Minor Bewitching Herb smells like lilies and tastes refreshing and cool. It has bewitching and hallucinogenic effects. A small amount can be added to refine healing pills... Use with caution in the early and middle stages of Qi Refining. A small amount can cause unconsciousness, and an overdose can be fatal."
There really is a problem!
What exactly are they trying to do?
Okay, I'll play along...
"Thump!"
The servant outside heard the noise, came in to check, and then went back to report.
Before long, two burly men entered, tied Ye Feng's hands and feet tightly with a knot of cowhide, and carried him away...
Ye Feng monitored everything with his divine sense, cursing inwardly.
You bastard, I only wanted a few spirit stones, is that really necessary? Are you trying to kill me?
They hadn't walked far when the two men carried Ye Feng to a dungeon.
There were six other people in the dungeon receiving the same treatment as Ye Feng. Only two of them were conscious; upon hearing the noise, they pretended to be dead and remained motionless.
The two men carrying Ye Feng threw him inside and fled like the wind, seemingly keeping this place a closely guarded secret.
It's fortunate that this is the case; otherwise, if Ye Feng's storage belt inside his clothes were exposed, he would have turned on Ye Feng and killed him in a heartbeat.
After the guard left, the two conscious people in the cell couldn't help but sob and weep.
"Waaaaah... We're doomed, we're doomed! We should never have come..."
"I stepped inside with my left foot first, and the head of the family grabbed me. I don't know who this person was, but he was also arrested."
"Once someone is arrested, they never leave alive, no matter who they are."
...
Time flew by and it was evening. The other four people who had been unconscious gradually woke up.
Ye Feng silently leaned against the corner of the wall, watching them chew on the rope again and again.
It was all in vain.
This is a specially made cowhide rope. Let alone them, even an ordinary mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator wouldn't be able to break it out of thin air without a suitable tool.
Suddenly, Ye Feng's expression changed.
More than ten people walked in from outside. Besides the group of servants and thugs in front, there were five cultivators behind them.
Two at the sixth level of Qi Refining, one at the fourth level, and one at the fifth level.
The young man standing in the middle was actually a late-stage cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining!
