Dragon King Palace: Urban Affluent Son-in-Law-Chapter 1052: Treat Her Better!

Weighing his options, Elder Kui finally removed a square array plate from his waist.

He bit his tongue, spraying a mouthful of fresh blood onto the array plate.

Instantly, strange radiance shot everywhere!

The entrance of the entire grand hall was swept by a fierce wind.

A few seconds later, on the array plate appeared a more ancient-looking phantom.

"Kui Yu, why have you activated the Heavenly Mechanism Plate?"

The phantom’s voice was icy, devoid of any warmth.

Elder Kui’s face shifted from its usual ferocity to one filled with respect, and he hurriedly said, "Lord Shentu, there’s an urgent matter I need to report to you..."

"What matter?"

Subsequently, Elder Kui dared not conceal anything, and proceeded to recount the entire incident involving Jiang Feng and the Hundred Knowledge Hall as well as the Tianji Pavilion, up until today’s events, to Lord Shentu’s phantom.

Lord Shentu listened closely to the entire account, his expression turning notably furious and filled with disbelief!

"Kui Yu, what did you say?! During the time we were absent, such an incident occurred within the pavilion? A mere young man in his early twenties, who isn’t even from the Chinese Martial World, managed to obliterate our subordinate Hundred Knowledge Hall and caused the Main Pavilion to suffer losses as well?"

"It’s absolutely true!"

Elder Kui said bitterly, "Lord Shentu, when I first heard of this Binhai Jiang Feng, I too thought it impossible like you do, but now the things he has done are definitely against the norm, and they are true. I’ve sent people to investigate repeatedly..."

"Incompetent fool!!"

The phantom of "Lord Shentu" roared in anger, instantly frightening everyone, including Elder Kui, into kneeling! 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"Kui Yu, oh Kui Yu, you’re nothing but a failure! How long have we been away from the Main Pavilion? And this is the kind of trouble that arises, what have you been doing? You look like you’re only fit to be an Orange Robed Elder, even if I recommended you to become a Red Robed Elder to manage the Main Pavilion temporarily, you still couldn’t handle things without embarrassing me!"

Faced with Lord Shentu’s scolding, Elder Kui prostrated on the ground without daring to make a sound.

Indeed, with his status in the Tianji Pavilion, whether in terms of power or experience, he was merely an Orange Robed Elder. This temporary promotion to Red Robed Elder was done at Lord Shentu’s behest to leave him in charge.

The true Red Robed Elders had long since followed the higher-ups into the Snow Mountain!

"You are right, Lord Shentu. I, Kui Yu, am aware of my inability to escape punishment and feel ashamed of facing your promotion, so I decided to personally go to Binhai and twist off the head of that Jiang scoundrel as a means to redeem myself..."

"What if you encounter some mishap again and bring greater embarrassment to the Tianji Pavilion, what will you do then?" Lord Shentu coldly said.

"This..."

Elder Kui was at a loss for words.

"How about this, since that Jiang brat could commit such extraordinary acts, it’s something outrageous and warrants the attention of the Tianji Pavilion! I’ll send a hundred men from the War Soul Hall to accompany you, under your command, to Binhai!"

"War... War Soul Hall?"

Elder Kui was taken aback by the news!

The War Soul Hall, similar to the War Killing Hall of Hundred Knowledge Hall, is a specialized enforcement and combat branch within the Tianji Pavilion, and it’s filled with masters!

This Lord Shentu happens to be a Deputy Commander of the Heavenly Battle Hall, thus having the authority to mobilize corresponding forces.

"Remember, you must resolve this matter before we return to the Main Pavilion, do not embarrass me again!" Lord Shentu said fiercely.

"Understood! Thank you, Lord Shentu!" Elder Kui was all abuzz with excitement, his face beaming!

"Remember! This group of one hundred men, the lowest in skill is at the Grandmaster Level, the highest even at Human King Peak! Whether it’s personal power or collaborative combat, they’re invincible, plus with you — if you still can’t take down that Jiang brat, don’t bother coming back to the Tianji Pavilion, instead end your life in apology!"

"Yes... Yes!"

Elder Kui hastily agreed, remaining very excited!

Initially, he alone would have been more than enough to deal with Jiang Feng, but now Lord Shentu was dispatching a hundred experts from the War Soul Hall to support him!

What virtue or capability does Jiang Feng possess to warrant the presence of one hundred War Soul Hall members?

Unconsciously, it felt like burning incense at one’s ancestors’ grave, using artillery to shoot mosquitos!

In Elder Kui’s mind, he even imagined himself leading a hundred men to slay Jiang Feng!

If he truly managed this task, he would find fortune amidst disaster, and his status with the Tianji Pavilion would certainly rise, possibly acquiring the qualifications of a true Red Robed Elder!

"Lord Shentu, rest assured, I, Kui Yu, will definitely fulfill the mission, and not let you down!"

Lord Shentu nodded: "I’ll send the men now, await your good news!"

With those words, the phantom image and voice simultaneously disappeared.

Only then did Elder Kui take a deep breath, stand up with a glowing expression.

At that moment, he regained the demeanor of an on-duty elder at the Main Pavilion, hands behind his back, standing on the rooftop, looking north.

His lips carried a chill and indifference: "Little scoundrel, I lead a hundred into Binhai, even the military can only shrink away, let’s see how you will resist!"

"By then, you will likely have no choice but to kneel before me, repent and apologize, hahahaha!!"

...

Binhai.

After leaving the naval base, Situ Yan drove her car back, taking Jiang Feng back to the city.

Along the way, Situ Yan remained silent for a long while before looking at Jiang Feng and asking, "Jiang Feng, what kind of power is the Tianji Pavilion, why have I never heard of it before? Are you deeply enmity with them?"

"Just a group of ants. Once I find an opportunity to uproot them, there will be no more problems." Jiang Feng replied calmly.

"Is there anything I can help with?"

"No."

Situ Yan was momentarily frustrated. It seemed that as she expected, once back in Binhai, Jiang Feng reverted to keeping his distance from her.

However, Situ Yan had also promised herself that she would not impose moral bindings on Jiang Feng due to the events of the past few days, giving Jiang Feng ample choice and freedom.

She just hoped that Jiang Feng would treat her a little better, even if just in attitude...

Just as Situ Yan was feeling a bit downcast and sad, Jiang Feng suddenly turned to look at her: "Thank you for your hard work these past few days, take a good rest once we return, and contact me anytime if anything comes up."

Although he didn’t want to be overly sentimental, Jiang Feng knew that the matters between him and Situ Yan had indeed transpired; even if he remained sharp and distant, he couldn’t constantly disregard Situ Yan’s heartfelt concerns.

Situ Yan was stunned by his words and instinctively braked, stopping the car by the roadside, her eyes red and listless as she looked at Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng sighed softly, reaching out to gently hold Situ Yan’s icy little hand: "Rest assured, I’m aware of your sentiments for me, and I remember them. Though you can’t directly assist me, taking care of yourself is equivalent to helping me, be kinder to yourself!"

Situ Yan was instantly moved, she recognized that Jiang Feng wasn’t truly as stone-hearted as he appears; even a stone man would eventually be touched by a fervent heart!

Immediately, her tears flowed more freely, and she affectionately embraced Jiang Feng tightly, eventually pressing her passionate lips deeply upon Jiang Feng’s lips!
