?75: 075: Dominant 75: 075: Dominant “What if I insist on going up?” Tang Feng’s expression was indifferent, which made Ye Xinning even more puzzled about his identity, naturally making her hesitant.

    “How about I ask for permission and see what you think?” For safety’s sake, Ye Xinning decided to break protocol this one time, unaware of the consequences this decision might bring.

    Instinctively, she felt a deep wariness toward this little man before her, which was quite unbelievable.

    Trusting her instincts, she made a judgment that contradicted her usual professional behavior.

    Yan Dong was a fearsome figure; otherwise, he wouldn’t have become a Hall Master.

    Many times, she had skillfully avoided this man’s harassment but wasn’t sure if she would be successful the next time.

    If it weren’t for the benefits to her family, she wouldn’t have worked in such a place.

    Fortunately, although the Ye Family no longer had its former power, it still had some influence to prevent her from being harmed in Jin City.

    Otherwise, she would have been taken down by others long ago.

    It must be said, she was somewhat of an anomaly.

    Subconsciously, she hoped someone would challenge Yan Dong, which might allow her to find liberation sooner.

    “Ye Xinning, have you come around?” Receiving the call at midnight, Yan Dong’s tone seemed anticipatory.

    “Master Yan is joking; someone wants to see you.

    I’m not sure if you would meet them or not,” she replied.

    “Someone wants to meet me?

    Who is so important that they deserve my attention?

    If I don’t know them, I won’t meet them,” Yan Dong declared.

    “It might be difficult to refuse; this person seems determined and appears to have important matters to discuss,” Ye Xinning said as she looked at Tang Feng.

    “Fine, bring him up.

    I’ll make an exception this once, but let’s not make this a habit.

    You know I least like those who don’t follow principles,” Yan Dong hung up the phone, exuding undeniable authority.

    “Follow me,” Ye Xinning led Tang Feng upstairs, listing many taboos along the way, genuinely intending to help him, while Tang Feng, puzzled, looked at this woman and thought she shouldn’t be lingering in such a job if she were truly kind.

    “I say, sister, you’re decent-looking, so why work in a place like this?

    I don’t think it suits you,” he said, influenced by his predecessor, for Tang Feng, the location of work didn’t matter as long as one had the capability.

    He didn’t look down on certain jobs performed in specific environments, knowing many people were forced into them.

    The woman’s kindness led Tang Feng to develop a subtle interest.

    “Little brother, what’s wrong with this place?” Ye Xinning suddenly laughed.

    “Honestly, I’m not quite sure; something about it just feels off,” Tang Feng laughed.

    “Everyone’s got their own opinions.

    For those who can’t find jobs, we are at the peak of the employment pyramid, but to those who indulge in pleasures, we are utterly without dignity.

    Such is life, sometimes you can’t just choose as you wish,” Ye Xinning sighed.

    “Makes sense, but I think you are like a lotus unsoiled by mud, it’d be better to get out sooner.

    You can’t always be so careful every day in such a place.

    If you’re interested, I could offer you a job,” Tang Feng offered.

    “Heh, I really need money.

    Can you afford me?” Ye Xinning laughed.

    “Do I look like I’m short of money?

    Let’s settle it then.

    Once I’m done here, you should leave with me,” Tang Feng declared.

    “What are you planning to do?

    I must warn you, Yan Dong has many bodyguards around him; don’t do anything reckless,” Ye Xinning, sharp as ever, quickly sensed something off.

    “Heh, I’m getting more and more interested in you, sister.

    Just for your insight alone, I should take you down,” Tang Feng said.

    Ye Xinning’s face reddened and she glared at Tang Feng, “Little rascal, you’re hoping for too much.

    Sister doesn’t like men younger than her.”

    “Sister doesn’t understand what it means to appreciate.

    Youth represents strength.

    You’ll come to like it eventually.

    But I think you misunderstand; as a little brother, I have a girlfriend.

    Taking you down is only meant in terms of working for me,” Tang Feng laughed heartily, leaving Ye Xinning feeling incredibly awkward, almost wishing she could just turn and walk away.

    “No, where is Yan Dong, anyway?” Although Tang Feng had already noticed, he just wanted to tease Ye Xinning a bit.

    “Find it yourself, Miss won’t serve you anymore.

    Hmph!” With a cold snort, Ye Xinning flicked a strand of her hair at her neck, and in that moment she captivated someone’s heart.

    “This lady is not bad, she indeed can kill some time.” Tang Feng, with a hint of a smile on his lips, walked into one of the rooms.

    “Stop right there.”

    As soon as Tang Feng entered, two sturdy men held him down and then searched him to ensure safety before bringing him to Yan Dong.

    Yan Dong, thirty-six years old, Early-stage Innate Realm, whereas his bodyguards were all at the Peak of Postnatal; honestly speaking, this was a commendable strength in the Mortal World.

    It indeed could control a territory.

    “Is it you who came looking for the Hall Master in the dead of the night?” Yan Dong actually was aware of Tang Feng, just not of his identity; daring to seek him out meant it wasn’t simple, which is why he offered due courtesy, otherwise he might have been thrown out already.

    This change in behavior indicated that this person might be stronger than imagined.

    “In fact, it’s a minor matter, but I feared that Master Yan might handle it too casually, which is why I have come in person.” Tang Feng sat down uninvited, his composed appearance caused Yan Dong to squint his eyes and a hidden sharpness flashed by, yet he did not react.

    “And how should I address you, young man?”

    “No need for names, I’m just here to tell you, the piece of land owned by Old Man Yang in South District, you cannot touch it, even if you like it and want it very much,” Tang Feng said with a smile.

    “Oh, but why should I listen to just your word?” Yan Dong also wore a smiling face, his current mental state unreadable, but his restraint managed to impress Tang Feng somewhat.

    “How did Master Yan come to hold this position, by what right do you issue orders?”

    “It is indeed by strength.

    So, are you planning to use your strength to pressure me?” Having long held his position, Yan Dong naturally exuded a Kingly Aura; seeing the seemingly weak Tang Feng, he wanted to flaunt his ability, but the other’s indifferent performance seemed utterly unaffected, how could this be?

    “You are right, it is by strength.” Tang Feng nodded lightly.

    This is not good!

    He is a master, Yan Dong’s judgment was not poor, he could no longer be sure, and if his guess was right, the other party didn’t take him seriously at all.

    Which faction was he from?

    He hadn’t offended anyone recently either.

    An unprecedented tension suddenly surfaced, Yan Dong himself found it unbelievable; without any action from the other, he was the first to panic.

    “I believe I haven’t had any disagreement with you before, young man.” Yan Dong still wanted to probe which divine figure Tang Feng was.

    “As I said before, you can’t touch Old Man Yang’s seaside land, it seems you weren’t planning on giving up.”

    “No, I will never touch it again, I can guarantee that,” Yan Dong said, astonishing even himself, having been intimidated by Tang Feng was not a good sign.

    Tang Feng was very satisfied, under his invisible pressure the opponent’s mental realm collapsed, and without any extraordinary encounters, it would be very difficult to make any progress in this life.

    Once the heart of Martial Arts collapsed, rebuilding it was incredibly hard unless encountering a potent Pill Master like Tang Feng, who might provide a glimmer of hope.

    Of course, Tang Feng would not help him.

    “I hope you keep your word.” Tang Feng did not strike, he simply turned and left.

    All four bodyguards were cold and sweaty; the pressure between Martial Artists was more terrifying than actual combat.
