Peerless Beauty: Picking Up a Beast as My Husband

At that moment, the four people in the lower seats saw Feng Hua arrive and immediately stood up, saying in unison:

"Young Master." Although Ye Jifeng did not tell the Ye family members about Feng Hua's identity, he did tell the four elders of the Ye family, and these four people are now the elders.

Ye Jifeng's furrowed brows relaxed slightly upon seeing Feng Hua arrive, and then he said:

"Feng Hua, you've arrived. These four are the four great elders of the Ye family. They only obey the patriarch's orders. I've only told them your identity so far. Please sit down. I have some things I'd like to discuss with you." Ye Jifeng said, pointing to a seat next to him. Feng Hua nodded to the four and then sat down.

The four elders sat down again, and then Ye Jifeng said:

"I have counted the number of Ye family members in the main city. Excluding those who were sent out on missions, there are still two hundred people whose whereabouts are unknown. Jingming's daughter, Ye Xilan, is also missing. According to the disciples who saw the missing people for the last time, they saw them leave the city gate and head west. I have sent people out to search for them, hoping to find their traces."

"A thousand-mile dike is breached by an ant hole. Evil cultivators develop extremely quickly because of their special techniques. The Ye family alone has lost so many people. I'm afraid other families have lost quite a few as well. Once they reunite and grow stronger, they will come knocking on our door sooner or later. At present, there are Spirit Venerables in the main city, so they will not act rashly for the time being. However, the various branches of the Ye family outside the main city will be in danger in the future."

"Clan Chief, I've come today because I've come up with a plan: to integrate all the forces within the main city into one unified entity. If one is in trouble, help will come from all sides. This way, the branches outside the main city will also have a fighting chance against the evil cultivators. The enemy is in the shadows, while we are in the open. This will minimize casualties and prevent us from being defeated one by one."

After listening, Ye Jifeng looked at Feng Hua with admiration. Although she was a woman, she was thoughtful and had the demeanor of a great general. If the Ye family could be handed over to her one day, it would surely become more prosperous. Fighting against foreign enemies together was a good thing. Ye Jifeng agreed without hesitation.

"Okay, Fenghua, that's a good idea. Grandpa supports you."

At this moment, one of the worshippers below showed disapproval on his face and said directly:

"Clan leader, this matter probably needs further consideration. Putting aside the Ye family's century-old heritage, just considering the forces in the main city, if they unite, they will definitely need to choose a leader. If a member of the Ye family is chosen, that would be fine, but the royal family has been on par with the Ye family in recent years. If they are allowed to manage, the Ye family will never have a chance to rise again."

Before Ye Jifeng could speak, Feng Hua slammed his hand on the table, his voice sharp and piercing:

"I think you old folks have been living comfortably at home for too long. What kind of time is this! Still stuck in your ways, only caring about your own interests. Evil cultivators have Spirit Venerables among them. If one day they really come knocking on our door, the Ye family will have been wiped out long ago!"

As Feng Hua spoke, the power of a sixth-level Spirit King overflowed from his body. The others were only fourth-level Spirit Kings, a difference of two levels, and were immediately overwhelmed by this wave of spiritual power, unable to breathe. Looking at the clan leader's still smiling face, they suddenly understood.

With the young master's ability to reach the sixth level of Spirit King at the age of eighteen, even the royal family has to avoid her. Her surname is Ye, and the Ye family will only become stronger in her hands. They are not as insightful as the clan leader.

Upon realizing this, the four men's expressions changed. If they had only treated her politely before because of her relationship with the clan leader, they were now truly impressed by her strength. They were not dissatisfied with Feng Hua's words. The strong are respected, and besides, this strong person was from their own family. They were overjoyed!

The four of them sincerely lowered their heads and then said:

"I will obey the young master's orders."

Seeing that they were convinced, Feng Hua also withdrew all her spiritual power.

Ye Jifeng looked at Feng Hua proudly and said:

"No wonder they are descendants of Jing Yu. You know, these old guys don't even respect Jing Ming!"

Now that the Ye family has agreed, this major problem is solved. Hopefully, things will go smoothly for Feng Yang and Xiao Che as well.

Then Ye Jifeng said, "Fenghua, since you want to be the one to take the lead, then you should make your identity as the young master of the Ye family public. That way, it will be easier for you to represent the Ye family directly." This was a good idea, but Ye Jifeng also had a little ulterior motive, which was to get Fenghua to acknowledge his ancestors and return to the Ye family.

Upon hearing Ye Jifeng's words, the four people below echoed him:

“Yes, the clan leader is right. If the young master’s identity is officially announced, then his actions will fully represent the Ye family.”

“That’s right, the clan chief is right.”

Looking at these people, Feng Hua felt like their schemes were about to jump right into her face.

She smiled, raising an eyebrow slightly. Ye Jifeng thought he was going to be rejected again, but Feng Hua spoke directly:

"Alright, but not now. Wait until the day of the royal banquet, then announce it to the whole city and catch the royal family off guard."

Ye Jifeng's expression brightened, and he laughed, saying:

"You little rascal, you've got a lot of clever ideas, but I like them."

The other elders below were speechless at the clan leader's expression.

When Ye Jingming was around, he had so many clever ideas, and you scolded him mercilessly every day. The difference in treatment is too obvious, isn't it? However, everyone in the main city knows about the young master's affairs, so he has the right to be arrogant. Then Feng Hua spoke:

"I'll be staying at the Strongest Academy to cultivate until the New Year's banquet. If anything comes up, send Ye Ming'an to find me. Otherwise, I'll be leaving now." Feng Hua paused for a moment before continuing:

"Grandpa." By the time these two words were uttered, Feng Hua's figure had already disappeared, but the word "Grandpa" clearly reached Ye Jifeng's ears.

Ye Jifeng was first stunned, then incredulous, and then overjoyed. He stood up from his seat without regard for his image and walked excitedly around the room.

Seeing his demeanor, the four attendants silently withdrew, leaving the old man alone.

Ye Jifeng spoke excitedly:

"She called me grandpa! She finally acknowledged me!" Then he burst into tears of joy and started talking about the past.

"Jingyu, it was my stubbornness back then that made me insist on separating you from your beloved. I never thought I would lose you because of it. Don't worry, your daughter is fine. Even if it costs me my old life, I will protect her!"

Everyone knows that the Ye family is divided into two branches, but they don't know that the wife of the first branch is the one Ye Jifeng truly loves. The second branch is just a woman who used a treacherous scheme to get into his bed and became pregnant with his child. The child is innocent, and he only gave him a status and power out of consideration for blood ties, but he never expected that he would eventually die because of greed.
