The Strongest Dandy in the City Chapter 2638 - 2627: Ungrateful

The night was deep and quiet.

Certain areas of the Soul Instrument Pavilion headquarters remained brightly lit, while others gradually fell silent.

Ye Chenfeng, the Southern Mountain Demon, Shen Xiutian, and the others returned to their courtyard.

Li Muyan and Shi Wan’an had already entered seclusion to comprehend the doubts Ye Chenfeng had previously resolved for them. After they exit this time, their artifact refining standards will likely improve to varying degrees.

The space within the courtyard twisted, as two black shadows appeared.

After the two black shadows appeared, the doors of the three rooms in the courtyard were pushed open from inside.

Ye Chenfeng, the Southern Mountain Demon, and Shen Xiutian came out of the rooms, sensing that someone had arrived.

As for Fang Duo’er and Song Lanruo, they were sound asleep, having just gotten drunk.

The arrivals were Qi Kangfu and Zhang Hezhi.

Since He Yuantian is, after all, the young master of the Hes, and secretly they were depending on the Hes, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Hes of the future would be in the hands of He Yuantian, so they personally came on his instructions.

Qi Kangfu and Zhang Hezhi visiting so late at night surely meant it was no trivial matter.

The Southern Mountain Demon and Shen Xiutian stood on either side of Ye Chenfeng, the Spiritual Qi River in their meridians surged, their gazes fixed on Qi Kangfu and Zhang Hezhi.

Since learning that Ye Chenfeng was a double venerable, the thoughts within the Southern Mountain Demon and Shen Xiutian had undergone a series of changes once more.

As an abandoned child of the Guos from the Upper World, the Southern Mountain Demon understood, upon knowing Ye Chenfeng’s double venerable status, why Ye Chenfeng dared to say that the Guos would perish when he went to the Upper World this time.

It turned out Ye Chenfeng truly had this confidence, and the Southern Mountain Demon was utterly convinced by Ye Chenfeng. Besides, Ye Chenfeng’s cultivation was extraordinary, and the future height he might reach was unfathomable?

Shen Xiutian had always regarded Ye Chenfeng as a benefactor, and the greater Ye Chenfeng’s abilities displayed, the more pleased Shen Xiutian naturally was.

Qi Kangfu waved his hand and said, "Relax a bit, we wouldn’t resort to violence against you within the Soul Instrument Pavilion."

Ye Chenfeng’s expression remained calm: "Speak, what do you want?"

Qi Kangfu laughed, "I like straightforward people. You’re in luck this time. I suppose you know of the Hes from the Upper World, right? The Hes are undeniably the dominant force in the entire Divine Origin Realm."

Upon hearing about the Hes,

Ye Chenfeng’s pupils slightly contracted, while the bodies of the Southern Mountain Demon and Shen Xiutian also tensed. They all knew Ye Chenfeng was under a wanted order by the Hes.

However, Ye Chenfeng was currently in a state of disguise, and his identity should not be detectable.

Qi Kangfu continued, "The young master of the Hes has taken a liking to you. As long as you are willing to become his servant, you can immediately become a member of the Hes. Once in the Hes, you can receive a massive amount of resources unattainable to others. You are merely from the Middle Realm; this is a grand opportunity for you, which you must seize."

The young master of the Hes?

Although Ye Chenfeng had previously cut down an avatar of a He family disciple, he did not know that avatar was the young master of the Hes.

It appears Qi Kangfu and Zhang Hezhi have quite a close relationship with the Hes, meaning it’s unwise to confront the Hes prematurely with his current strength.

After a moment’s pause, Ye Chenfeng said, "Not interested."

Qi Kangfu’s expression instantly froze, and Zhang Hezhi sneered, "Given a bit of face, you want to open a dye house? What do you think you are? Although you’re in the Initial Stage of the Divine Emperor Realm and indeed a genius, geniuses can easily die prematurely."

"An Eighth Grade Artifact Refiner isn’t considered low-grade either. If you agree to become the young master’s servant, I can teach you the art of artifact refining, allowing you to enhance your artifact refining skills as much as possible."

Standing beside Ye Chenfeng, the Southern Mountain Demon and Shen Xiutian held in contempt, knowing that Li Muyan and Shi Wan’an’s artifact refining skills weren’t even close to Ye Chenfeng’s, making it clear Qi Kangfu and Zhang Hezhi were far from matching Ye Chenfeng’s aptitude in artifact refining.

Ye Chenfeng coldly said, "Go back and tell that so-called young master, I don’t have the habit of being anyone’s dog. However, I am missing a dog by my side. If he is willing to be my dog, he’s welcome anytime."

Qi Kangfu and Zhang Hezhi’s faces reddened with anger. They thought invoking the name of the Hes would make Ye Chenfeng yield; after all, the Hes are a dominant family in the Divine Origin Realm! However, it turned out to be just the opposite of what they imagined: Ye Chenfeng was impervious to threats and cajoling.

Qi Kangfu and Zhang Hezhi couldn’t make a move here. With Ye Chenfeng currently being a supreme guest elder of the Soul Instrument Pavilion, any action against him would mean trouble caused by the involvement of Li Muyan and Shi Wan’an.

With a gloomy stare fixed on Ye Chenfeng for a long time, Qi Kangfu suddenly said coldly, "You ungrateful thing, the young master did give you a chance to live. Why won’t you cherish it? There will be a time you’ll regret it."

Qi Kangfu realized Ye Chenfeng wouldn’t agree to be He Yuantian’s servant, and with that, he and Zhang Hezhi vanished from the courtyard.

After they left,

Ye Chenfeng’s eyes held a hint of gravitas; he hadn’t anticipated being noticed by the Hes before his identity was revealed. It seemed he really must quickly enhance his cultivation to have the ability to protect himself.

Shen Xiutian quietly said, "Benefactor, you’ve already clashed with the Hes. What’s a young master of the Hes? Does he even deserve you as a servant? As long as you continue to grow, you’ll definitely surpass the Hes in the future."

The Southern Mountain Demon nodded in agreement, "With your talents, Benefactor, you could establish a peerless grand family in the future."

Meanwhile,

In the hall of Qi Kangfu’s courtyard.

He Yuantian had been waiting for news, and upon Qi Kangfu and Zhang Hezhi’s arrival, he casually asked, "How did it go?"

Qi Kangfu replied, "Young master, the boy refused."

He Yuantian nodded, the sneer on his lips growing more pronounced, muttering, "No one has ever dared to refuse me, He Yuantian, within the entire Divine Origin Realm. I will make him personally understand the consequences of rejecting me."

He Yuantian’s face grew increasingly grim, abruptly recalling Ye Chenfeng, who had severed one of his avatars in the Ancient Realm, a disgrace beyond compare to him.

Still unaware that the boy within the Soul Instrument Pavilion was Ye Chenfeng.

His inner fury skyrocketed, yet despite being the young master, killing Ye Chenfeng here was beyond his current capability.

After all, Li Muyan and Shi Wan’an would protect Ye Chenfeng, and with his cultivation only at the Pinnacle of the Lesser Perfected Peak of the Divine Venerable Realm, he wished to personally kill Ye Chenfeng without any outside interference, meaning Ye Chenfeng would have some more time to live.
