Chapter 5 - 4. Six-tailed Society

Chapter 5: 4. Six-tailed Society"Is this a hospital, is my wife a doctor?" "Your wife is about to give birth." The bizarre conversation from the dream kept echoing in his ears, leaving Xia Feng puzzled and unable to figure it out. "Sir, Sir!" "Hmm?" Xia Feng abruptly opened his eyes and sat up straight, snapping out of his light doze. "Sir, we have arrived at the Six-tailed Manor." "Oh, okay, thank you." As soon as Xia Feng got out of the car, rubbing his temples, he saw three people standing at the manor's entrance. One was a middle-aged man in a crisp suit and a neatly slicked-back hairstyle, leaning on a cane with a dragon-head handle, staring at him with a stern face. This man was his adoptive father, Wei Shutong. Of course, calling him an adoptive father was a bit of a stretch since Xia Feng barely knew the man, who, despite his perfect hair, had no fewer than eighteen adopted sons... Standing beside Wei Shutong was a middle-aged man, scarred on his right eye, and dressed in loose, dark martial arts robes. This martial artist was named Zhao Jie, the current acting leader of the Six-tailed Society. Behind Zhao Jie, standing with hands behind his back and impeccable posture, was Zhao Jie's disciple—Qi Xiao. What were they doing here? Xia Feng looked at the acting leader with some confusion. Zhao Jie's sole opened eye was a cold gray-white, carrying a commanding presence that wasn't enraged, and his expression was indifferent. "Xia Feng, where have you just been?" he asked. Though puzzled, Xia Feng still bowed his hands and replied, "I went to Prince's Estate to find Mu Qingtong, what's this about, Uncle Zhao?" "You went to call off the engagement?" Zhao Jie's gray pupils narrowed fiercely, predatory and biting. Xia Feng's gaze flickered with doubt, inadvertently glancing at the silent, cane-leaning Wei Shutong, then back to Qi Xiao, who bore a faint smile behind Zhao Jie. As if understanding something, Xia Feng laughed, "I just went to Prince's Estate to have a few words with Miss Mu, how did that turn into calling off the engagement? Uncle Zhao, where did you hear these brainless rumors?" Hearing this, Zhao Jie nodded slightly and said nothing more, his gray eyes flickering coldly as he glanced towards Qi Xiao. Qi Xiao was taken aback, speaking earnestly, "My men clearly saw you running red lights all the way to the Prince's Estate, and even after a car accident, you didn't want to stay long in the hospital! You stormed into the estate with such aggression, and now you're telling us you just exchanged a few words with Miss Mu?" "Yes, is there—" Xia Feng's face was earnest, "a problem with that?" "You—" "If the thirteenth senior brother does not believe me, he can directly call Mu Estate to inquire." Xia Feng smiled, "Just ask if Miss Mu was indeed delighted with our conversation tonight, and whether I mentioned calling off the engagement?" By now, Xia Feng had some realizations, So that's why Cha Naixue had suddenly helped introduce him to a fiancée; she must have teamed up with Qi Xiao, probably promising him some benefit. As for Qi Xiao's purpose, it was likely for the extremely rare inheritance of the Spiritual Clothes—Six-tailed. Seeing Xia Feng appearing so confident, not at all like he was lying, Qi Xiao's face darkened. Damn it, he was hasty... But since this Xia kid wasn't going there to cancel an engagement and create a scene, why the rush? He even insisted on visiting Mu Qingtong after landing in the hospital—could it be just for idle chatter? Well, it didn't matter, as it wouldn't affect the big picture anyway! With a slight squinting of his brown eyes, Qi Xiao's lips curled into a gentle smile, "So you mean to say, junior brother, that you agree to join the Mu family by marriage?" "Of course, Miss Mu is beautiful and kind, why would I refuse?" Xia Feng grinned. "Speaking of which, I should thank senior brother for the behind-the-scenes push." He gripped Qi Xiao's hand sincerely and gave it a shake, "Thank you!" And he meant it. Qi Xiao's eyes twitched. Indeed, he had seen photos of Mu Qingtong, and she was outrageously beautiful. Damn it, this kid got lucky! But it was no big deal. After all, a noble daughter like Mu Qingtong, who was pursued by thousands, was not someone Xia Feng could handle! Consoling himself with the thought, Qi Xiao's expression resumed its composure as he turned around and bowed his hands, "Master, since Xia Feng is soon to join the Mu family, he should no longer be eligible to compete for the Six-tailed Spiritual Clothes. I request to end the competition for the Spiritual Clothes ahead of schedule!" In fact, Xia Feng had no interest in the Six-tailed Spiritual Clothes and no intention of competing with Qi Xiao, as it would probably take him an eternity to master it with his talent. But now... He lacked talent, but the Destructive Witch had it! He, Xia Feng, would become the epitome of a ruthless capitalist, thoroughly exploiting the Destructive Witch! On the way back, he had already thought up several schemes to squeeze Mu Qingtong and was just waiting for the opportunity to implement them tomorrow! Hence, the Six-tailed Spiritual Clothes of the Six-tailed Society were a must-have, as mastering this piece of clothing would significantly enhance his combat capabilities. "Good," Zhao Jie assented in a subdued voice, looking aside at the middle-aged man in the suit, "Wei, you don't have any objections, do you?" Wei Shutong's expression was unreadable as he tapped his cane, "Since Xia Feng no longer qualifies, I naturally have no objections, announce the verdict." "Hold on, who said I have no objections?" Wei Shutong frowned and glanced at him, knowing this adopted son was likely unsatisfied. But the reality was as it stood; being outmaneuvered meant accepting the outcome and learning from it. He shook his head without responding and turned to leave, "Disperse, all of you." seaʀᴄh thё nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Wei, don't rush off," Zhao Jie leisurely followed and chuckled, "You lost the bet of 200,000, I guess that's a loss, right? Remember to transfer the money after you get back." Seeing this, Qi Xiao's lips slightly curled, casting a glance towards Xia Feng before swiftly catching up with Zhao Jie's pace. The three of them receded into the distance. Well, look at my fiery temper! Xia Feng knew actions spoke louder than words—some things didn't require too much explanation. The Six-tailed Society values the strong over others, or, putting it another way, it values interests over everything else. As long as tangible benefits are delivered, some people will naturally change their stance for you. He clapped his hands together decisively, and vmm—the pale moonlight-colored Spiritual Flow surged out from the center of his palms!
