Chapter 98 The Envoy of the Martial Alliance
"Ah, I see." Ye Fei nodded, then asked, "So, what exactly does this Martial Alliance do, and what's the deal with the Guardian Families?"
Liu Yiru explained, "Although named an alliance, the Martial Alliance is actually a loose organization with the sole purpose of supervising us martial practitioners. It ensures that we don't easily harm ordinary people and that we don't misuse our martial skills for evil purposes.
As for the Guardian Families, when everyone elected that man as the Alliance Leader and felt that he alone couldn't manage so many martial practitioners, they simultaneously selected the two most prestigious and powerful families at the time to assist him. These became the Guardian Families."
"So, this means the Martial Alliance should be a righteous organization. But why did you and Auntie mention that they were up to something bad?" Ye Fei was still not entirely clear.
"That was in the past," Liu Yiru sighed. "At the beginning, the Alliance Leader used to roam the martial world almost every day, and the martial atmosphere was unprecedentedly good.
However, a few years later, the Leader became less visible, delegating all matters to the two Guardian Families. Especially in the last twenty years, the Leader hasn't appeared at all.
With time passing, the other Guardian Family has also declined, leaving only the Wu Family in power. They have come to treat the Martial Alliance as their private organization, acting more and more arrogantly, often demanding tasks from martial families, which has caused dissatisfaction among all martial practitioners.
However, the Wu Family's martial skills are formidable. Besides the Leader, few can match them, so most dare not voice their discontent."
"Ah, in that case, this organization seems unnecessary." Ye Fei said lightly, but he had already made up his mind.
If the Wu Family came here to discuss legitimate business, that would be fine. But if they were here to bully others, he didn't mind taking them down. Moreover, he felt a bit eager to see just how powerful their martial skills were, enough to intimidate all martial practitioners.
As the mother and son conversed, they arrived at the meeting place with the Wu Family members. It was a five-star hotel under the Liu family's name. Despite their aversion towards the Wu Family, they had to maintain appearances, as the visitors represented the Martial Alliance, and they couldn't afford to be too dismissive.
When Ye Fei and Liu Yiru arrived, Liu Fengyi was already waiting there. They had arranged to meet the Wu Family members in a private room on the first floor of the hotel.
The Wu Family members hadn't arrived yet, showing they had quite an air about them.
Without the Wu Family's presence, Liu Yiru and her sister weren't in a rush. It was rare for them to have the chance to sit together and chat.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, they sat down and engaged in conversation.
The two beautiful women remained calm, so Ye Fei, of course, remained composed as well. His main reason for coming today was to spend more time with his mother.
Sitting beside them, his eyes couldn't help but gaze back and forth between his mother and aunt's somewhat similar, exquisite faces, occasionally sweeping over their equally stunning figures, igniting a sense of curiosity.
With a mischievous thought, he wondered if his aunt's figure was as enticing as his mother's.
Unfortunately, they were meeting representatives of the Martial Alliance today, so they were dressed formally, in women's trousers rather than skirts. Ye Fei couldn't even attempt to sneak a peek under the table.
From 9 a.m. until 11:30 a.m., they waited in the private room until a knock on the door signaled the arrival of the Wu Family members.
Despite not minding the opportunity for the sisters to gather, Liu Yiru and Liu Fengyi were a bit displeased. Liu Fengyi coldly said, "Come in, the door isn't locked."
As she spoke, the door opened from the outside, revealing a young man in his twenties. He had a handsome face, but it carried a hint of wickedness and an arrogant air about him.
Upon seeing the Liu sisters, the young man was momentarily stunned. Although he had heard that the current heads of the Liu family were exceptionally beautiful, he hadn't anticipated their beauty to be of such a degree.
Compared to them, the women he had been involved with before were not even worth mentioning. A hint of greed and lust flickered in his eyes.
Although the lecherous gleam in the eyes of the young man from the Wu Family only flashed momentarily, it did not escape Ye Fei's notice.
In that instant, Ye Fei had already sentenced him to death in his mind. In his subconscious, he had already regarded his mother and aunt as his private possessions. Apart from himself, no one else could look at them with such eyes.
After the initial shock, the young man became even more arrogant. He sat down boldly at the head of the table and said, "I am Wu Shiying, the eldest grandson of the Wu Family. Are you Liu Fengyi and Liu Yiru?"
Due to his excellent background, a penchant for showing off, and a circle of women who were attracted to his power, whenever he displayed dominance, those women would put on a fawning act.
Over time, he developed a belief that all women liked dominant men. Therefore, even in front of the ethereal Liu sisters, he put on a similar act.
Wu Shiying's line of thinking was quite off the mark; he had reversed cause and effect. Women prefer their own men to be strong, not necessarily strong men. So, his pretentious behavior only served to make the sisters dislike him even more.
However, being well-mannered individuals, they didn't show any disdain. Liu Fengyi smiled and said, "Indeed, it is us. This is my nephew, Ye Fei," introducing Ye Fei to him.
Seemingly afraid that Ye Fei's resolve to kill him might not be firm enough, Wu Shiying, in a reckless move, remarked, "Oh, the waste from the Ye Family, quite famous, I've heard."
Seeing him speak ill of her son, even with her good manners, Liu Yiru couldn't contain her anger and retorted coldly, "Mr. Wu, please refrain from speaking nonsense. Get to the point!"
Wu Shiying then realized that the waste he referred to was the son of one of these two astonishing women. Feeling somewhat embarrassed, but being accustomed to arrogance, he didn't admit his mistake. Instead, he casually smiled and said, "Well then, let's get to business. I am here on behalf of the Wu Family to assist you."
"I don't believe the Liu family needs any help from the Wu Family!" Liu Yiru's anger at her beloved son being insulted as waste was not going to dissipate quickly. Her tone was stern.
A flicker of anger crossed Wu Shiying's face, but he quickly masked it and continued to smile, "It's about the Autumn Group. Don't you think its existence poses a significant threat to you?"
