Chapter 525: The Inevitable Encounter
With that, Ye Fei didn't give the utterly horrified guy a chance to speak again. He applied a bit of pressure with his hand and snapped the guy's neck, ensuring a quick and painless death.
After dealing with the overconfident troublemaker, Ye Fei turned his attention to the man's subordinates.
These people were already petrified. While others might not know, they were well aware of their "Boss Ao's" martial prowess. Despite his arrogance, the guy had put considerable effort into his martial arts training. He had inherited about seventy to eighty percent of the true skills of the Mòběi Shuāngshà and was considered a formidable martial artist.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to act so tyrannically here. Yet, such a skilled fighter had been taken out by the young man claiming to be Ye Fei as easily as swatting a fly. The level of martial arts displayed was beyond anything they had ever seen or heard of.
Considering how they had just offended him, it was no wonder they were terrified.
Especially the guy who had just belittled Ye Fei to boost his master's ego, his legs turned to jelly and he collapsed to the ground.
"Boss Ye, it's all because I'm blind and followed the wrong person, that young man Yu Ao. Please, have mercy and spare me!" The man in the black suit who had gone to rush the owner was quick-witted.
After a brief moment of shock, he immediately knelt and pleaded for mercy.
The others quickly caught on and followed suit, kneeling and begging like whipped dogs.
Seeing the display, Ye Fei didn't even bother to say another word.
These people, though possessing internal energy and stronger than the special forces soldiers, were far worse in every other aspect. If they had shown a bit more backbone, Ye Fei might have considered letting one or two of them go to deliver a message to the so-called "Mòběi Shuāngshà." But now, that thought was out of the question.
With a flick of his fingers, he sent a few gusts of wind to join their "Boss Ao" in the afterlife. As for the Mòběi Shuāngshà, he would deal with them when the time came.
After taking care of everything, Ye Fei turned to his mom and softly asked, "Did this trash ruin your mood?"
Liu Yiru smiled and shook her head slightly. She had never taken these people seriously from the beginning.
As for Ye Fei's act of killing, she didn't find it strange at all. Martial artists were different from ordinary people; injuries and deaths were common in the face of strength.
At this moment, the hotel owner was also stunned. He had never expected that this seemingly perfect couple would have such means.
With a wave of their hand, they had eliminated people he considered untouchable. Naturally, he felt a bit afraid. Although he had shown some concern for the couple earlier, he had still helped them with quite a few things out of fear of the now-dead men and had even taken advantage of them.
However, Ye Fei didn't hold it against him. Instead, he felt a certain fondness for the owner's previous kindness. After taking care of the other matters, he took out a checkbook from his pocket, signed a check for twenty million, and handed it to the still-shocked owner.
"Boss, you probably can't stay here anymore. We can't be here all the time. If the Mòběi Shuāngshà comes looking for you again, it won't be good. So, take this money and go somewhere else. If you have nowhere to go, you can go to Wang Hai City. It's my turf, and no one will dare to mess with you there."
Ye Fei spoke with great confidence because, although he had temporarily left Wang Hai City, he had moved all the artificial experts from the Lingyun Society who were not on missions there before he and his mom set off.
There were as many as seventy to eighty thousand of them. With these people in place, the entire Wang Hai City was as solid as a fortress.
The owner didn't expect Ye Fei to not only not blame him but also to care about his safety and even offer him money.
Overjoyed, he hastily declined, "No, no, no, Mr. Ye, you've already done us a great favor by getting rid of that menace. How could I possibly accept your money? I'll head to Wang Hai City this afternoon. You don't have to worry about me."
"Boss, just take it," Liu Yiru said with a gentle smile.
"We had already agreed to treat everyone yesterday, so naturally, we can't let you pay. The rest of this money should be enough to open a hotel of similar size in Wang Hai City. Consider it as us buying this place from you. But once you get there, it's best to forget about these two days and not mention them to anyone."
The owner thought it over. If he were to lose seven to eight million in one go, he would probably be destitute, and his whole family would suffer.
So, he gratefully accepted the check from Ye Fei, feeling extremely thankful to this couple. He also made up his mind to keep their secret, as they had held their wedding here, likely not wanting anyone to know.
This was exactly what Liu Yiru wanted because her and her son's identities were not a secret in Wang Hai City.
If the owner talked out of turn once he got there, it could cause problems. As for himself, even if he guessed something, he would surely keep it even more confidential.
Following the principle of seeing things through to the end, the mother and son waited until the owner had packed up everything and left with his family before they departed.
Little did they know that their act of ridding the place of the menace had already spread. It wasn't that the owner had talked, but others had guessed.
After all, many people had seen "Boss Ao" and his men enter the hotel. They had all felt sorry for the owner and the Ye "couple," but in the end, it was the couple who came out, while the bad guys never showed up again. So, some clever people had made these guesses.
Unaware or perhaps not caring that their actions had been noticed, Ye Fei and his mom left the hotel without further delay and hailed a cab to head toward the location of the martial arts congress.
To avoid the public eye, the venue for the martial arts congress was set in a small valley within the Tianshan mountain range. Each participating sect and family would receive a map, so there was no need to worry about getting lost.
At the foot of the mountain, the car came to a stop.
Although there were many paths leading into the mountains, none of them were wide enough for a vehicle to pass.
This meant that the hundreds of miles from here to the valley would have to be covered on foot. However, for martial artists, this was no problem at all.
After paying the driver and sending the taxi on its way, Ye Fei took a deep breath and said with a smile, "The air in the mountains is so much better. I wonder if there are any good caves in these Tianshan mountains."
Hearing Ye Fei's words, Liu Yiru couldn't help but recall the time they had spent in the cave in Changbai Mountain.
Back then, although the mother and son hadn't yet taken the final step, it was a period of rapid emotional transformation for them. Thinking of the warmth and sweetness of those days, she became a little dazed.
Now, not only had they completely overcome their barriers, but she was also carrying his child, which made Liu Yiru feel even happier. Unconsciously, she leaned into his embrace, and they walked forward slowly, holding each other.
Holding his mom's slender waist, Ye Fei seemed to sense her thoughts and said with a gentle smile, "Once the situation stabilizes, I'll put aside my affairs and spend some time with you all to truly enjoy the pleasures of the countryside, okay?"
He had never considered living a hermit's life because, firstly, it would be inconvenient for everything, and secondly, staying in one place all the time would surely bore them.
What he wanted to do was to fully take control of the situation so that they could live carefree lives anywhere in the world, just like in the legendary secluded places.

"Mm-hmm," Liu Yiru nodded softly, her heart filled with longing. Although she knew that day wouldn't come in the short term, she believed that her beloved son could definitely make it happen.
"And now that I've obtained the Xuan Yin Decision," Ye Fei continued, "once you all practice it, we can cultivate together. I believe that even if we can't achieve immortality, maintaining our youth for a few hundred years should be no problem. Then we'll truly become a celestial couple."
Liu Yiru couldn't help but laugh at Ye Fei's words, "Celestial couples are usually just one pair, but you, a celestial being, have so many partners."
Ye Fei laughed heartily, "What can I say? My son just has the skills!"
Ever since he had fully understood his mom's feelings, Ye Fei no longer felt guilty about having so many women in front of her.
Liu Yiru smiled gently, about to say something more, when they heard the sound of urgent horse hooves from behind, followed by a clear and pleasant voice, "People ahead, move out of the way quickly!"
The mother and son turned to look and saw a beautiful young girl in a red bodysuit riding towards them. She showed no intention of slowing down.
Although the mountain path was not very wide, she could easily go around them on the side. However, the girl had no intention of detouring. When she reached the two of them, she suddenly pulled on the reins.
The magnificent red horse she was riding let out a long neigh and leaped up, jumping right over Ye Fei and his mom.
After jumping over them, the girl stopped and turned to glance at Ye Fei and his mom. She let out a cold snort before galloping forward again.
"Mom, why didn't you let me teach her a lesson?" Ye Fei asked, looking at his mom who was holding his hand. He had been ready to discipline the woman but was stopped by his mom before he could act.
Liu Yiru smiled and said, "Forget it. She's just a girl and such a beautiful one at that. It's normal for her to be a bit spoiled. Don't take it to heart."
"Alright," Ye Fei nodded obediently, but then he suddenly heard another round of horse hooves coming from behind.
