The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 760 - 756

"Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack..."

"Boom!"

The heavy stele that Zeng Daniu’s body forcefully collided with showed a dense network of cracks, spreading across the entire stone like a spider web. In the end, the whole stele shattered into pieces, and Zeng Daniu, lying on the ground, was knocked unconscious by Ye Chenfeng’s punch.

Standing in the stands, Zhao Wukong, who was after all the master of a city, regained his composure first. When his gaze returned to Ye Chenfeng on the stage, it revealed a look of admiration. Although the youth with a sallow complexion had a rather average appearance, possessing such strength at barely twenty years of age was quite satisfactory to Zhao Wukong.

"Young brother, may I know your name? What level of strength have you reached now?" Zhao Wukong asked warmly and politely.

His voice caused everyone present to snap to attention, and countless eyes once again focused on Ye Chenfeng. Shrugging casually, Ye Chenfeng had just used strength on par with the Peak of the High Grade Heaven Rank, so he politely said, "City Lord Zhao, my name is Ye Feng, and my strength should be at the level of the Peak of the High Grade Heaven Rank."

For the sake of caution, Ye Chenfeng took a moment to give himself a false name.

Hearing Ye Chenfeng’s answer, Zhao Wukong’s mouth twitched a couple of times. Although he had guessed that the young man before him must have attained the Peak of the High Grade Heaven Rank, hearing it from Ye Chenfeng’s own mouth was an entirely different feeling. This was a high master of the Peak of the High Grade Heaven Rank who was just in his twenties!

Zhao Wukong believed that as long as he shared his experience of advancing to the Innate Realm with this young man, it might take only a few years for the youth to enter the Innate Realm. A master of the Innate Realm in his twenties—he would be comparable with the elites from ranked sects.

Upon hearing that Ye Chenfeng’s strength had reached the Peak of the High Grade Heaven Rank, some in the audience couldn’t help but feel it was a pity because with Ye Chenfeng’s ability, he could have joined a sect with decent strength. Backed by the resources of a powerful sect, and considering Ye Chenfeng appeared to be only in his twenties, his future achievements could be just a little less than those supreme geniuses within those sects. However, if Ye Chenfeng became the son-in-law of the City Lord’s Mansion, they estimated he would likely only reach the Innate Realm in his lifetime, and breaking through to the Sky-breaking Realm would be impossible.

Just knowing that he was at the peak of the High Grade Heaven Rank shocked the spectators. If Zhao Wukong and those present found out Ye Chenfeng’s current strength was comparable to the peak masters of the Innate Realm, who knows if they would have been so surprised that they spat blood on the spot?

In his twenties and already possessing strength comparable to the peak masters of the Innate Realm—in the entire top-tier powers, such young individuals were so rare that they could likely be counted on one hand. Such individuals could truly be considered geniuses among geniuses.

Standing in the stands, the more Zhao Wukong saw of Ye Chenfeng, the more satisfied he became. He spoke out, "Ye Feng, brother, has defeated Zeng Daniu. Now, is there anyone else who wishes to challenge brother Ye Feng?"

After learning of Ye Chenfeng’s strength at the Peak of the High Grade Heaven Rank, who among those from the Earth Rank, Profound Rank, or Middle Grade Heaven Rank would still step into the ring to seek defeat?

Seeing that no one else came forward, the smile on Zhao Wukong’s face grew even brighter as he said, "Since no one else will step into the ring to challenge, I hereby announce that this brother Ye Feng will become my son-in-law."

With that, Zhao Wukong turned to an old man in his sixties or seventies standing beside him and said, "Steward Qian, you go back first and have the kitchen prepare lunch. I will return later with brother Ye Feng."

After the orders to Steward Qian were given, Zhao Wukong remembered something very important and asked, "Brother Ye Feng, which sect’s disciple are you? Now that you have won this martial competition, you must leave your sect."

Ye Chenfeng casually said, "City Lord Zhao, I belong to no sect, so please be at ease about that."

"Good, nothing could be better than this. We are now family. Let’s return to the City Lord’s Mansion first, and I will introduce you to my daughter, your wife, Zhao Xiaoxiao."

Not sure how to start the conversation with Zhao Wukong’s enthusiasm, Ye Chenfeng momentarily didn’t know what to say. For now, he could only go to the City Lord’s Mansion and explain later that his sole purpose in participating in this martial competition was to obtain the Hundred-Year Ten-Leaf Grass from inside the mansion!

...

Zhao Wukong’s City Lord’s Mansion was located in the central area of Tianxing City.

At this moment, in a room within the mansion filled with a faint fragrance, there were two girls who looked almost identical chattering about something.

One of these girls wore a white gauze dress while the other wore a blue one. They both looked incredibly vibrant and charming. If Ye Chenfeng had been there, he would have recognized them in an instant as the girls from the portrait he saw in the square.

If one were to point out any difference between the two nearly identical girls, it was probably just one thing, the girl in the white gauze dress had a beauty mark at the corner of her mouth, which the one in blue did not have.

So, the one who truly resembled the portrait from the square was the girl with the beauty mark. She was the protagonist of today’s martial arts competition for marriage, the very Zhao Xiaoxiao Zhao Wukong had mentioned.

As for the other girl in blue, she was Zhao Xiaoxiao’s twin sister, Zhao Yuanyuan.

"Sister, Steward Qian has already returned. I heard that today’s martial arts competition for marriage has ended. I really wonder what kind of man my brother-in-law will be?" Zhao Yuanyuan said with intense curiosity, a youthful liveliness about her.

Compared to Zhao Yuanyuan, her sister Zhao Xiaoxiao appeared much more composed, her cheeks tinged with a faint blush as she spoke, "Yuanyuan, later on, don’t talk nonsense. This martial arts competition for marriage was arranged by dad. The talent in our City Lord’s Mansion is dwindling, and if this continues, we will be replaced by others. This is a sacrifice I’m making for the City Lord’s Mansion."

"Sister, don’t worry. If he can’t pass my test, I definitely won’t agree to this marriage. What if he looks as ugly as a mishappen melon, would you still want to marry him?" said Zhao Yuanyuan, pouting.

...

Ye Chenfeng rode in Zhao Wukong’s carriage and smoothly arrived at the City Lord’s Mansion. Along the way, Zhao Wukong chatted with him quite cheerfully. After getting out of the carriage, what came into view was a very imposing ancient building. There was a stele above the building with three powerful characters engraved on it, "City Lord’s Mansion."

Seeing that Ye Chenfeng seemed interested in these three characters, Zhao Wukong smiled and said, "Ye Feng, these characters have a significant history. They were written by my grandfather’s father, who reached the Sky-breaking Realm. Inside our City Lord’s Mansion, we have many books about it. Once you settle in, you can slowly look through them. I think it will be helpful for boosting your strength."

Ye Chenfeng smiled amiably and did not take up Zhao Wukong’s offer. At most, he would stay in the City Lord’s Mansion for a day or two. Once he obtained the Hundred-Year Ten-Leaf Grass, he would be leaving, after all, the Tianshan Sect was still waiting to be extinguished by him! He also had the matter of investigating the Ghost King Sect’s relics!

Just as Ye Chenfeng was following Zhao Wukong into the City Lord’s Mansion, two sweet voices rang out: "Dad, you’re back!"

Then, two identical vibrant girls appeared before Ye Chenfeng. Zhao Wukong hurriedly explained, "Ye Feng, this time I am holding a martial arts competition for marriage for my eldest daughter. My two daughters are a pair of twin sisters, you..."

Just as Zhao Wukong was about to introduce Ye Chenfeng to his would-be bride, Zhao Xiaoxiao, Zhao Yuanyuan stepped forward and said to Ye Chenfeng, "Guess which one of us is the elder sister and which is the younger sister? If you guess wrong, you won’t be allowed to step into the City Lord’s Mansion."

Zhao Yuanyuan was not satisfied with Ye Chenfeng’s appearance; after all, with the Human Skin Mask on, Ye Chenfeng looked as plain as could be. So she immediately stepped out to make things difficult for Ye Chenfeng.

Ye Chenfeng looked at Zhao Yuanyuan and shrugged nonchalantly, pointing to Zhao Xiaoxiao and said, "She is the elder sister, and you are the younger sister."

Zhao Yuanyuan had expected Ye Chenfeng to take a long time to consider, but to her surprise, he answered almost without thinking, and what’s more, he was correct? This made Zhao Yuanyuan ask in disbelief, "How did you know? Did you just guess?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it on Qidian (qidian.com).
