Chapter 1569: Is This a Compliment?
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Ye Feng had no idea about the rules of Huang Village.
When he heard this, he didn’t feel anything at first.
However, when the Huang villagers heard this, their expressions changed.
Especially the dark-faced middle-aged man, who was standing at the side, looked as if he had been struck by lightning.
However, after a moment of shock, he knelt in front of Huang Dong with a thud. “Uncle Dong, I know I am wrong, Uncle Dong!”
“Don’t use the clan rules, don’t use the clan rules to punish me!”
“I really know my mistake!”
As he spoke, he saw that Huang Dong did not have any intention of relenting, he even kneeled in front of Ye Feng. “Mister Ye, Mister Ye!”
“Help me say something to Uncle Dong, Mr. Ye!”
“I apologize to you! I’ll kowtow to you and your friends! Please help me tell Uncle Dong that I’m willing to bear all the losses, as long as I don’t get chased out of Huang Village!”
As he spoke, he kowtowed to Ye Feng and Anjou Prince.
It wasn’t just him. The villagers who had acted recklessly with him seemed to be frightened as well.
Everyone knelt down.
“Yes!”
“I beg you, Mr. Ye!”
“Help us tell Uncle Dong!”
Ye Feng did not understand.
He could only turn to look at Huang Dong. “Are your clan rules that terrifying?”
Huang Dong lowered his voice and explained, “This is also a local culture.”
“In a place like ours, the concept of the clan is very strong. If a person is stripped of their surname and expelled from the village, they will no longer have the right to be buried in the Huang family’s ancestral grave or enter the Huang family’s genealogy. It is equivalent to breaking the root. Even after death, he will be a lonely ghost.”
“As for what Third Brother and the others did today, if we were to deal with them according to the clan rules, they would basically be expelled from the Huang Family Village.”
When Ye Feng heard this, he came to a realization.
No wonder Third Brother and the others were so scared.
In the Chaoshan area of Lingnan and some areas of Minnan, where the concept of clan was deep, there was indeed such a saying and cultural inheritance.
He had also heard that some overseas Chinese who had returned to the Minnan region would hold a banquet to celebrate their return to their roots.
Seeing Third Brother and the rest looking at him pitifully, hoping that he could put in a good word for him, Ye Feng felt a little sympathetic for a moment.
However, it was only for a moment. When he thought of what they had done, that trace of compassion immediately disappeared.
If one repaid hatred with kindness, how does one repay kindness?
If he let them off so easily, it would be unfair to the victims and him!
Therefore, it was better to forgive them and hand them over to God. He was responsible for handing them over to God.
After thinking about this, he did not say anything else. He nodded and turned his gaze to Anjou Prince.
Anjou Prince seemed to have noticed something. She looked at Third Brother and the others and said, “They seem to be very afraid?”
“Is he pleading with you?”
Ye Feng did not reply, he smiled. “In any case, the matter has been resolved.”
“We can leave now.”
Anjou Prince seemed to sympathize with Third Brother and the others. “What about these people?”
“They seem to be looking at you eagerly.”
“There are too many people looking at me with eager eyes. It doesn’t matter if there are a few more of them.” Ye Feng said as he walked towards the front passenger seat of the Porsche. “Don’t worry about it.”
“Not only did these people want to blackmail you just now, they even targeted you.”
“If I hadn’t happened to pass by, you should be able to imagine what would have happened to you now, right?”
When Anjou Prince heard this, she seemed to have recalled the terrifying situation just now.
After shivering, she quickly followed Ye Feng into the Porsche.
At this moment, a group of Huang villagers dashed out from behind Huang Dong and quickly held down Third Brother and his group.
Huang Dong walked to the side of the Porsche and closed the door for Ye Feng with his own hands, “I’m really sorry, Mr. Ye.”
“We almost made you and your friends suffer in our own territory.”
“Don’t worry, I will definitely punish these bad eggs.”
Ye Feng reckoned that he would not let off Third Brother.
He nodded at him and thanked him for his hard work. Then, he gestured for Anjou Prince to start the car.
When Anjou Prince drove the car out of the Huang Family Village, she seemed to have regained her senses, she looked at Ye Feng with a strange expression. “I suddenly realized that you did not use the wrong story.”
“During the Battle of Changban Hill, Zhang Fei managed to scare off a million soldiers by suppressing Cao Cao. It’s similar to how you controlled the head of this village today and then controlled the entire village.”
“You’re very surprising!”
Ye Feng smiled back. “Is this a compliment?”
“Definitely a compliment.” Anjou Prince said without hesitation, “I can see the spirit of Bruce Lee and Yip Man from the movies in you!”
“This is a very attractive and awe-inspiring existence!”
As she spoke, she seemed to have opened a chatterbox and started talking about her understanding of Bruce Lee and Yip Man.
Ye Feng did not interrupt, he just listened to her quietly.
It was only when the Porsche drove back to the city and he had to say goodbye to her that he signaled her to stop.
At this moment, Anjou Prince clearly realized that it was time to part.
After parking the car, she extended her hand to Ye Feng solemnly. “Nice to meet you.”
“I came to Jiangzuo this time for business, I won’t stay here for long.”
“However, I will always remember you. I will always remember your kindness.”
Ye Feng shook her hand lightly.
“Please give me your contact information and bank card number.” After shaking hands, Anjou Prince took out her phone and recorded it.
“When we get back later, I’ll arrange for someone to pay you.”
“Also, if there’s a chance in the future, I hope to meet you again.”
Ye Feng did not reject anything.
He exchanged contact information with her and sent her his bank account number. He smiled at her and said, “I’m glad to meet you too.”
Then he’d go straight to the warehouse that Feng Shaokun had arranged for him after he got a taxi.
At this moment, a familiar system notification sounded.
“Congratulations, host. You have completed the opportunity navigation and obtained the skill ‘Machinery Proficiency.’”
The moment the notification sounded, a warm feeling immediately swept through his entire body.
Countless mechanical knowledge and tricks began to pour into his mind.
When Ye Feng recovered from that mysterious state, he was no different from those mechanic masters who had studied physiognomy for many years.
This was the first time Ye Feng obtained such a mystical skill, it was quite novel.
When the absorption was over, he immediately turned his gaze to the taxi in front of him.
