Ye Tian learns that Su Changfeng has somehow defeated Huo Tian, angering him. Shangguan Feihong insists Su Changfeng should die and plans to attend an upcoming business conference with Ye Weijun, much to Ye Tian's dismay. Ji Hong worries about Su Changfeng's well-being after he left home.

Shangguan Feihong snorted, saying, "Whether or not you’ve spoken ill of me, Ji Hong, I know it clearly in my heart. Let me tell you, no matter what you’re planning in your heart, you’d better put an end to it. Otherwise, I won’t show you any mercy."

From this, it is clear how domineering Shangguan Feihong is in the Ye Family Mansion. She wants to be the law of the Ye Family, the one who says one word and it goes, and no one can oppose her.

As the daughter-in-law of the Ye Family, Ji Hong can only silently endure Shangguan Feihong’s tyranny.

In fact, at the very beginning, Ji Hong was uncomfortable with Shangguan Feihong’s differential treatment of Su Changfeng. After all, he is the child she carried for ten months, and naturally, Ji Hong is deeply attached to him.

But ultimately, Ji Hong could not withstand Shangguan Feihong’s dominance, so she had to choose compromise. Moreover, as time passed, she gradually got used to this way of life.

In a certain sense, a big reason why Ji Hong is so cold to Su Changfeng is that Shangguan Feihong is too overbearing, leaving her with no room to resist.

Of course, this is also a significant reason why Ji Hong became a failing mother.

At this moment, at Mo Ke Company.

Su Changfeng sat in the office, his expression solemn.

He clearly understood that although things seemed to be moving steadily towards the future, all he needed to do was wait patiently, and he could follow the previous trajectory again, getting married to Shen Hanxue once more. Yet, there is one thing Su Changfeng can’t truly put to rest.

Moreover, during this time, whenever night falls, he can’t help but think about that matter.

Back on the Tianyuan Continent, the words the Silver Flood Dragon had said, his heart has never been able to settle on those.

He knew that reversing time equated to giving him a chance; many things he could redo from scratch, even making significant changes, but only the Silver Flood Dragon existed objectively. The Silver Flood Dragon had said it would stop at nothing to find Su Changfeng. If reversing time couldn’t successfully alter the memory of the Silver Flood Dragon, then it would be a significant threat, a threat that might erupt anytime, possibly resulting in uncontrollable consequences.

However, regarding this matter, Su Changfeng is helpless; he can only wait silently, using time to verify.

Although he could, taking advantage of the Silver Flood Dragon’s slumber, find a way to go to the Tianyuan Continent and kill the Silver Flood Dragon, he couldn’t be certain if he could indeed succeed in killing it. If he couldn’t kill it, then there wouldn’t be a good outcome for him either.

Moreover, at present, what Su Changfeng wants most is to get his wife back. If possible, he’d prefer not to consider the matter of the Silver Flood Dragon.

"Ah, it’s really giving me a headache. If it still remembers me, I guess it won’t let me go." Su Changfeng sighed helplessly, just feeling a headache coming on.

At this moment, Wu Feng walked in because buying a house for Su Changfeng was not a troublesome task for him.

"Young master, the house is ready, as per your directions. It’s in a very secluded place, so it probably won’t attract too much attention," Wu Feng said, handing the keys in hand to Su Changfeng.

Su Changfeng nodded and took them over without asking much. He didn’t have many requirements for a place to stay; as long as he had a place to rest his head, it was fine.

"In a few days, there’s going to be a business conference. Did you receive any news?" Su Changfeng asked Wu Feng.

The business conference in a few days was a significant commercial gathering. Wu Feng naturally had received news about it a long time ago. This kind of conference is held annually, and all the attendees are from the upper circles of the Capital City. Wu Feng had racked his brains trying to attend this gathering, but unfortunately, he hadn’t found an avenue yet. He even tried for a server position.

However, in such an important gathering, even a server must pass through layers of screenings. Without years of work experience, one is not qualified to enter.

"Young master, I’ve tried everything I could during this time, but it’s really not working. With my standing, I simply can’t get in," Wu Feng said helplessly.

"Prepare well these few days, and then accompany me to attend," Su Changfeng said mildly.

Wu Feng looked at Su Changfeng in disbelief and, in a daze, questioned, "Young master, considering it’s such an exclusive venue, are we really just going to barge in?"

"Barge in?" Su Changfeng suddenly laughed. "What are you thinking? When did I say we were going to barge in?"

Actually, it’s not surprising that Wu Feng would think Su Changfeng intended to barge in. After all, this business conference isn’t something just anyone can attend. Although the Ye Family could attend, based on Su Changfeng’s personality, he wouldn’t use the Ye Family’s resources. Besides, even if he were willing, Shangguan Feihong probably wouldn’t be so benevolent.

Could it be that Su Changfeng was no longer struggling and planned to compromise with the Ye Family?

Wu Feng thought about it; it wasn’t so surprising after all. One must know that Su Changfeng’s current power is inadequate to contend with the Ye Family. He indeed needs to rely on the Ye Family’s influence to develop quietly.

Temporarily enduring humiliation is nothing; one should always have a long-term vision.

"Young master, did Shangguan Feihong agree to take you?" Wu Feng asked.

"Shangguan Feihong? What does this have to do with her? Even if she were to bring people, she’d only bring Ye Weijun. Do you think she’d think of me?" Su Changfeng replied.

Upon hearing this, Wu Feng was utterly stunned.

If Shangguan Feihong wasn’t willing, then how could Su Changfeng possibly have the qualification to attend the business conference in a few days?

"Young master, I... I’m not quite understanding. Since Shangguan Feihong didn’t agree to take you, then what do you mean?" Wu Feng asked.

"The Wei Family invited me, is that not okay?" Su Changfeng said.

"The Wei Family!" Wu Feng exclaimed, almost looking at Su Changfeng in utter disbelief.

Wu Feng had tried in numerous ways to get acquainted with powerful families, but he remains of little influence and has encountered obstacles everywhere recently with no progress. He had already clearly realized the difficulty of trying to integrate into the upper circles.

But Su Changfeng, in just two days, managed to establish a relationship with the Wei Family?

To Wu Feng, this was utterly incredible, and he couldn’t believe that such an existence as the Wei Family would personally extend an invitation to Su Changfeng. What on earth did he do?

"No need to make such a fuss; believe me, there will be many such opportunities in the future, just wait patiently." Su Changfeng spoke with a calm tone.

It’s just a small Wei Family; in the future, the first-tier circle of the Capital City would have to bow to him. So, in his view, this matter is really nothing significant.
