Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law

Chapter 78 Do You Consider Yourself a Big Shot?



```

Qitian Gate could be said to be flaunting his authority, relying on the backing of Pang Dahai, the Sect Master of the Divine Doctor Sect from the Provincial City, he was shouting orders left and right.

Ye Feng did not even look at Qitian Gate, considering such a petty character beneath his notice.

He did not even spare a glance at Pang Dahai; things as insignificant as ants did not merit his attention!

Ye Feng directly asked, "The deacon from the imperial capital, where is he now?"

Pang Dahai snorted, "That deacon, being weary from the long journey, I had two favored girls attend to him, helping him to sleep. He has not yet awoken at this hour."

Ye Feng couldn't help but smile, seeing the obvious bribery at play. But then, it seemed normal; inviting someone from the imperial capital to take care of business, it was only right to offer some perks.

"You lot, do not have the qualifications to speak with me, have him come out to meet me!" Ye Feng's wheelchair was right in the center of the grand hall, his words and manner bearing an unmistakable haughtiness.

Yet, these very words set everyone off, as they bristled with indignation.

Qitian Gate, the bootlicker, roared angrily, "Who do you think you are, spouting such insolent bravado, demanding the deacon come out to meet you! Have you looked in the mirror, you worthless Mad Son-in-law of the Hong Family, do you think you're worthy?"

"Exactly, the deacon has not yet rested well, who would dare disturb him!"

"This brat, he's truly become wildly arrogant!"

The many high-ranking officials of the Divine Doctor Sect in the hall were righteously incensed, spewing accusations.

By now, representatives of a few major families, including Cui Hao, had also entered, but since this was the headquarters of the Divine Doctor Sect in the Provincial City, they, being outsiders, naturally did not presume to intervene directly.

Cui Hao pondered for a moment before stating, "Master Pang, why bother talking nonsense with this man? Don't forget the main point of calling this meeting!"

"Indeed, the focus of this meeting is to discuss this brat's theft of Master Pang's revered Medical Acupuncture Technique!"

Master Pang slowly rose to his feet, walked over to Ye Feng, and said with a smile, "I suppose Mr. Ye has also heard, my master, the former Sect Master of the Divine Doctor Sect of the Southern River Region, passed away last year, but he left behind a Needle Technique!"

"According to him, this Needle Technique could expel all the poisons in the world, an incredibly mystical technique. My master originally intended to pass it on to me, but due to negligence, it was stolen a year ago."

Qitian Gate, the toady, immediately interjected coldly, "What more is there to say? Surely, it must be this Ye with the surname, the Frenzied Son-in-Law of the Hong Family, who stole Master Pang's revered Medical Acupuncture Technique!"

Luo Keque rebutted coldly, "Qitian Gate, you keep accusing Mr. Ye of theft, but do you have evidence? Without evidence, it is slander and defamation!"

Qitian Gate barked, "You petty city-level Vice Sect Leader, when did it become your turn to speak here?"

Cui Hao sneered, "It's not that we necessarily think it was this young man Ye Feng who stole the revered Needle Technique of Master Pang, we simply have our suspicions. Isn't that why we've convened this meeting, to verify the matter?"

Pang Youze scoffed, "Verify? How can such a thing be verified?"

"Very simple, have Mr. Ye perform the technique right here in front of everyone, and see if it matches my master's. If it does, then it's settled!" Pang Dahai declared, taking it for granted.

Ye Feng looked up at him and said, "To perform it in front of you, you are not worthy to watch!"

"What did you say?" Qitian Gate flared up again.

For some reason, Luo Keque felt a great sense of relief and joy upon hearing this; after all, up to now, he had been the first and only one privileged to witness Ye Feng perform the Phoenix Returns to Heaven Needle Technique, and not just once.

"You're not qualified to watch, I see you, boy, are clearly guilty like a thief!" Cui Hao said, smirking mockingly.

"Exactly, this kid is guilty like a thief. His unwillingness to perform the skill in front of everyone means he must have stolen it!"

"Boy, while the steward officer has not arrived, you should quickly confess your crimes and admit your despicable thievery. The Divine Doctor Sect is forgiving and magnanimous; perhaps we can still spare you!"Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The so-called high-ranking officials of the Divine Doctor Sect accused one after another, looking righteously indignant as if they had already concluded that Ye Feng had committed theft.

The scene turned chaotic, and Pang Dahai slightly waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, then walked up to Ye Feng.

"Mr. Ye, given that you're a small figure, here's the deal: the Divine Doctor Sect has always been compassionate and generous. Just willingly hand over that acupuncture technique to me, and as Sect Master, I assure you, I will let bygones be bygones for what happened before. How about it?"

Pang Dahai's face was brimming with a smile, as if he was certain that Ye Feng would comply.

Ye Feng also smiled, looked up and said, "A small figure? You call me a small figure, so does that mean you consider yourself a big shot?"

Pang Dahai instantly laughed heartily and said, "I dare not claim that. I don't dare to call myself a big shot, but I can say that in this Southern River Region Jiangnan Province, I do count as a person of status."

As the loyal lackey he was, Luo Keque immediately said, "Master Pang, you are being too modest. If someone of your status and stature is considered a small figure, then what does that make us—we wouldn't even qualify as figures at all, would we?"

"Exactly, exactly..."

"Master Pang is being modest!" Numerous high-ranking officials of the Divine Doctor Sect echoed and bootlicked in quick succession.

Pang Dahai felt quite pleased with himself and thought that Luo Keque, this cur, really knew how to flatter insightfully. Once this matter was dealt with, he might as well transfer him to the Provincial City to be his side as a Vice Sect Leader.

"Mr. Ye, have you given proper thought to my previous proposal?"

Master Pang suddenly emphasized his tone and scoffed, "You'd better make a decision before the steward officer appears because once the steward officer intervenes, there will be no room for turning back. A smart man like you must surely know the consequences!"

Ye Feng said, "Just go tell that steward, someone named Ye Feng wants to see him. He's got five minutes to show up in front of me, or else he can forget about being this so-called steward."

"Hahaha..." Luo Keque burst into laughter on the spot.

The crowd also followed with a great laugh, as if they had heard the biggest joke in the world.

Pang Dahai's face darkened, and he huffed, "Boy, you don't know how to appreciate favors or understand the situation. So be it, then you can't blame me."

"Considering the steward officer should be well-rested by now, I will go and invite him to deal with this!"

After speaking, Master Pang turned and walked out through a side door into the inner courtyard.

He had intentionally arranged for the steward officer to rest, partly as a benefit to the steward and partly to use the time to pressure Ye Feng into voluntarily handing over the medical acupuncture technique.

If things went as planned, Pang Dahai would have the initiative, and he would no longer have to share the needle technique with the steward. When it came time to treat the great family head for Gu and Poison, he would undoubtedly reap most of the benefits.

But despite all his calculations, even having brought in a high-ranking official from the capital, this mad son-in-law from the Hong Family, Ye Feng, remained unyielding.

Cui Hao, witnessing this, muttered to himself: "From the looks of it, the deal should be done; now, all that's left is for the steward to make an appearance!"
