“The Liang family patriarch, Liang Wantong, is indeed dead, and all the Liang family's experts have been wiped out. The Liang family's servants witnessed the Liang family's life tablet shattering, so it's true! Moreover, the younger generation of the Liang family did indeed abscond with the property. In Tianliang City, there will no longer be three major wealthy families, only two!” Luo Tianyang said excitedly.
Liu Rushi was also extremely excited.
But then Liu Rushi asked, "Why is that? How did the Liang family head and those Liang family experts die?"
As soon as Liu Rushi finished speaking, Luo Tianyang and Luo Mengxuan both looked towards Ye Feng.
Meanwhile, Ye Feng continued to leisurely eat and drink.
After a long while, Ye Feng finally wiped his mouth and said, "Why are you all looking at me like that? Eat your food! It would be such a waste not to finish all this food."
Luo Mengxuan couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "Junior brother, did you kill Liang Wantong and those Liang family experts?"
"Senior sister, you overestimate me. How could I possibly have that ability?" Ye Feng shook his head with a smile.
“I don’t believe you, swear it,” Luo Mengxuan said again.
"I swear to God, if Liang Wantong and those Liang family experts all died at my hands, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death," Ye Feng said.
Seeing that Ye Feng swore so readily without any hesitation, Luo Mengxuan believed him.
And the night wind did not lie.
It was Lie Tianlun Zhu Ying, not him, who killed Liang Wantong and those Liang family experts.
Moreover, the Fierce Heaven Wheel Zhu Ying is not Ye Feng's magic weapon, but Tian Mingyu's magic weapon.
Since that's the case, Ye Feng swearing is certainly not a problem.
But this only made Luo Mengxuan, Luo Tianyang, and Liu Rushi even more confused.
Luo Mengxuan waved for the steward to leave, then said, "So what exactly happened? Junior Brother went out for a walk, and the Liang family patriarch died, and all the Liang family experts also died. This doesn't make sense."
Luo Tianyang and Liu Rushi nodded repeatedly, agreeing with Luo Mengxuan's words.
Night Wind calmly said, "Perhaps some senior was passing by and casually wiped out the Liang family patriarch and all the Liang family experts."
After a pause, Ye Feng continued, "The Liang family is usually arrogant, domineering, and extremely tyrannical, so it's quite normal for a senior to stand up for justice and punish evil when he sees injustice."
"Is there really such a coincidence in this world?" Luo Mengxuan asked.
"Perhaps," Night Wind said ambiguously.
Luo Tianyang and Liu Rushi gave Ye Feng a deep look before finally looking away.
Then Luo Tianyang said with a smile, "Xuan'er, since Patriarch Liang and the Liang family experts didn't die at Young Master Ye's hands, let's not ask any further questions. Let's eat quickly, or the food will get cold."
“Yes, Mengxuan, anyway, they’re dead and the Liang family is finished. This is a great thing for us. As for how they died and who killed them, it’s not surprising,” Liu Rushi said.
Luo Mengxuan finally nodded and continued eating.
It was already late at night.
Luo Mengxuan came out of her room and entered her father Luo Tianyang's study.
Liu Rushi was also in the study, and it seemed that the two of them were waiting for Luo Mengxuan.
"Father, you and Mother were indeed waiting for me here," Luo Mengxuan said with a smile.
"I thought you weren't coming," Luo Tianyang said with a smile.
Luo Tianyang then set up a barrier to isolate the inside from the outside and gestured for Luo Mengxuan to sit down.
After Luo Mengxuan sat down, Luo Tianyang said, "Mengxuan, tell us more about that Young Master Ye. We are really curious."
“Say whatever you know, and tell me everything, big or small,” Liu Rushi reminded her.
Luo Mengxuan then told him everything she knew about Ye Feng.
After listening, Luo Tianyang slowly said, "This Young Master Ye is truly an extraordinary person. He looks ordinary, yet he has a kind of back-to-basics feeling. It seems that this person is indeed not simple."
“The Liang family head and the Liang family experts probably died because of him,” Liu Rushi said.
Luo Mengxuan said, "But Junior Brother swore an oath in front of us tonight, so it should be true. Ordinary people may break their oaths, but we high-level martial artists cannot break our oaths, otherwise our Dao heart will be flawed, which will affect our cultivation."
"Mengxuan, do you still remember what oath Young Master Ye made back then?" Liu Rushi asked.
“Of course I remember. My junior brother said that Liang Wantong and the Liang family experts didn’t die at his hands,” Luo Mengxuan said.
“Not dying at his hands and not dying because of him are two different things,” Liu Rushi said with a smile.
After a pause, Liu Rushi continued, "Liang Wantong and the two experts may not have been killed by Young Master Ye, but their deaths are definitely related to him. They all died after Young Master Ye went out for a while; what a coincidence!"
"Mother, what exactly do you mean?" Luo Mengxuan asked.
Luo Tianyang said, "Your mother and I suspect that Young Master Ye has a very powerful senior protecting him in secret. Perhaps that senior is at the peak of the Transcendent Realm, or perhaps that senior is a living saint in the Saint Realm, or a master who is at the level of an elder of a major sect."
Upon hearing these words, Luo Mengxuan was utterly shocked.
"This explains why Young Master Ye was so confident and dared to risk his life to leave our family."
"This also explains why Liang Wantong and all the Liang family experts died when Young Master Ye went out for a walk."
"They were most likely killed by Young Master Ye's protector, by the senior who protected Young Master Ye. That's why Young Master Ye swore that Liang Wantong and the Liang family experts did not die at his hands, rather than directly swearing that this matter had nothing to do with him."
Luo Tianyang's explanation enlightened Luo Mengxuan.
If that's the case, then everything makes sense.
But there is still one point of doubt.
Ye Feng is just an inner disciple of the Xuanji Sect, so how could he have such a powerful protector protecting him closely?
“Xuan’er, Young Master Ye has cultivated the Sky-Piercing Star Sword Technique to the sixth level, only one level lower than Elder Lingxing, the Grand Elder of the Xuanji Sect. Isn’t that suspicious? If Elder Lingxing hadn’t personally taught him, could Young Master Ye have explored and cultivated to this level on his own?” Liu Rushi said.
"Mother, do you mean that Junior Brother is Elder Lingxing's disciple, but they haven't made their master-disciple relationship public and haven't registered it in the sect? And the senior next to Junior Brother is Elder Lingxing?" Luo Mengxuan said.
Liu Rushi nodded slowly.
Luo Tianyang nodded in agreement.
"This...this is simply unbelievable," Luo Mengxuan said.
“But this is the only way to explain it,” Liu Rushi said.
Luo Tianyang laughed heartily: "This is a good thing, Xuan'er. That Young Master Ye is so powerful, and he also has the Grand Elder of your Xuanji Sect behind him. That's an incredibly solid backer!"
