The Xiao family's training ground.
"Patriarch, the eldest young lady and her... boyfriend have entered and are heading towards the training ground!" Another guard who had been monitoring Xiao Jingwen previously was now also at the training ground, communicating with another guard via walkie-talkie, reporting the situation.
"They didn't try to escape directly? Instead, they came straight to the training ground. They do have some courage." Upon hearing this, the crowd couldn't help but discuss.
"What's the use of having some courage? Sometimes, without strength, having only courage won't lead to a good outcome!" someone snorted coldly.
"Speaking of which, what's the point of letting him come? If he performs well, can we reject the Yang family's renewed proposal for an alliance? It's more of an ultimatum from the Yang family than a proposal!"
"If he performs well, how well does he need to perform for us to reject the Yang family? And choose him? And would he be willing to become a live-in son-in-law?"
"That depends on the Old Ancestor!"
Everyone turned their gaze towards the Xiao family's Old Ancestor, Xiao Xuhong, who was accompanying them towards the training ground. He was the pillar of the Xiao family, the number one person in the Xiao family, a cultivator at the peak of the Venerable Martial Realm.
"We'll see! If he performs exceptionally well, it's not impossible to refuse the Yang family's alliance!" Xiao Xuhong said in a deep voice.
Although the Innate Realm is powerful, if they dared to destroy his Xiao family, they wouldn't be able to do it. This was because Xiao Xuhong, with the help of the family's ninth-tier grand formation, could unleash the combat power of an early-stage Innate Realm cultivator. In such a situation, if the Yang family wanted to destroy the Xiao family, they would need all their clan experts to emerge, which was clearly impossible!
Of course, if Yang Pingtian, an Innate Realm expert from the Yang family, continued to improve and harbored a grudge in the future, the Xiao family would ultimately have a difficult time.
Therefore, unless Xiao Jingwen's boyfriend performed exceptionally well, they would still lean towards sending Xiao Jingwen to the Yang family for an alliance. Only if he was sufficiently outstanding would they be willing to bear some losses from the blows and retaliation from the Yang family!
Training ground.
Yang Feilong and Xiao Jingwen arrived. Seeing Xiao Jingwen affectionately linking arms with Yang Feilong, many members of the Xiao family frowned.
In the past, Xiao Jingwen had always been stern with boys, but now, she was holding a man in front of so many people. If this were to reach the Yang family, it wouldn't be good. Clearly, what happened today would be spread, and the servants would be silenced, or they would be executed without mercy!
"No wonder he could charm Jingwen, he's actually so handsome. Jingwen has always been friendly towards handsome boys. But what's the use of a man being this handsome!"
"Exactly, this guy looks like a mere show-off!"
Some people began to harbor prejudice. Primarily, because of the relationship between Yang Feilong and Xiao Jingwen, they resented Yang Feilong as well. Otherwise, this matter wouldn't be so difficult to resolve!
"Jingwen, is this your boyfriend?" Xiao Tengfei looked at Xiao Jingwen.
"I'm like this, and you're still asking?" Xiao Jingwen glared at her father with displeasure, speaking as if in mockery.
"..." Xiao Tengfei could hear the deep resentment in his daughter's words.
The next moment, Xiao Tengfei looked at Yang Feilong and said, "I'll give you one hundred million, and please leave Jingwen now!"
Directly throwing money, many people would be stunned.
Moreover, one hundred million was no small sum. Unfortunately, he didn't know Yang Feilong's identity, nor had he investigated him. Otherwise, he would know how ridiculous his action was!
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingwen was so angry she almost exploded.
Yang Feilong naturally saw Xiao Jingwen's anger. He patted her hand and said with a gentle smile, "I'm your man, leave it to me to handle!"
"En." Xiao Jingwen took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and nodded obediently.
"You must be Uncle, perhaps Jingwen wanted to surprise you and didn't tell you about my situation!" Yang Feilong said with a light smile.
At this moment, both Xiao Tengfei and other members of the Xiao family looked at Yang Feilong.
Yes, none of them understood Yang Feilong.
"As for money, I truly don't lack it. I have two companies, and my personal wealth is not a hundred billion, but it's tens of billions. Do you still think of offering me a hundred million to leave Jingwen after hearing my answer?" Yang Feilong said with a light chuckle.
As soon as he said this, there was an uproar, and everyone stared at Yang Feilong in shock.
Tens of billions in assets? Nearly a hundred billion?
Yang Feilong was not exaggerating. His wealth was not just the assets of his two companies. There were also spirit stones, rare treasures, and so on, which Yang Feilong possessed. If measured in terms of money, even if it wasn't a hundred billion, it was close.
Of course, this was still inferior to the Xiao family. However, the Xiao family's wealth belonged to thousands of people, while he was just one person, and a young man under twenty years old!
Who was this young man?
Xiao Tengfei also felt his face burn with embarrassment. He couldn't help but glance at his daughter, who gave him a dismissive look. This made him sigh inwardly, this truly was a daughter who grew up and didn't stay with her father. Her boyfriend was so rich, and she didn't tell him? Thus causing him to lose face!
Otherwise, he would never have been so foolish as to try to buy him off with money!
"What's the use of having so much wealth if you can't protect it? No one is bothering you now because no one knows you are so wealthy," someone snorted coldly and said, "Once people know you are rich, there will be many who will try to seize it from you."
"Does this include the Xiao family?" Yang Feilong asked with a faint smile.
"Of course, it doesn't include the Xiao family!" this person said righteously.
Of course, whether the Xiao family would harbor covetous thoughts was uncertain. As the saying goes, people die for wealth, birds die for food!
Assets of over a hundred billion were a considerable fortune for the Xiao family as well. However, they needed to maintain the dignity of a great family.
But since Yang Feilong had voluntarily revealed it, it was naturally because he was not afraid of the Xiao family.
There might be one or two individuals in the Xiao family stronger than him, but if he wanted to leave, the Xiao family couldn't keep him. Moreover, what about afterward? With his master, they could overturn the Xiao family. His master was not someone to be trifled with!
Yang Feilong was too lazy to argue further. Instead, he looked at Xiao Tengfei and a few others. He could tell that these were the key decision-makers of the Xiao family, as their cultivation levels were all very high. The weaker ones were at the Heaven Martial Realm, the stronger ones were at the Hegemony Martial Realm, and there were also two Venerable Martial Realm cultivators. Those two Venerable Martial Realm cultivators, despite their contained auras, were like dormant dragons; once they erupted, they could unleash incredibly terrifying power!
The next moment, his voice rang out, "Jingwen is my girlfriend. I heard that the elders wanted to test me. As a junior, I won't say much today. Bring out any tests you have. If I fail, it means I'm incompetent. But if I pass, can the elders reject the Yang family and stop preventing Jingwen and me from being together?"
As soon as this was said, the entire audience was stunned.
Did he just make a declaration? So domineering? Could it be that he was not only wealthy but also extremely talented and powerful? Otherwise, would he dare to say such a thing?
