Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 334 The Eerie Ning Weiwei
On the third day, it was the time for Second Sect Leader Shi Yehong of the Utility Pavilion to take on his land's owner Ning Wuya's new apprentice. That day, the Northern Cloud Residence was exceedingly busy, with virtually every important figure from the capital in attendance. The scene was indeed grand.
After all, setting aside the old Northern King Ning Wuya's original prestige, just the identity of the Second Sect Leader of the Utility Pavilion was astonishing enough, not to mention that Hong Qingyan was also the woman of the current Northern King Ye Feng, and his only woman at that. This woman might very well become the Princess Consort in the future.
Within the capital, not many might know of Hong Qingyan, but if one were to mention Northern King Ye Feng, he was universally known and acclaimed. Now, the reputation of the Northern King was not only resounding throughout the capital but also around the entire world.
Regarding this apprenticeship ceremony, what many valued might not have been Hong Qingyan herself, but through the nature of this event, perceptive people could immediately discern the weight Hong Qingyan held in Ye Feng's heart.
Thus, from then on, anyone who dared to move against Hong Qingyan would have to carefully consider the consequences.
Although the entire Northern Cloud Residence was filled with jubilation, there was one person who was contrary to this master-apprenticeship ceremony, and that person was the whimsical Long Nannan, who had been opposed to it ever since she heard the news.
In Long Nannan's words, that Second Sect Leader of the Utility Pavilion was simply useless, and Sister Hong finding such a person for apprenticeship would lead nowhere, not to mention apprenticing to someone else's disciple.
But as for this girl who was nearly of age yet still looked like a young maiden, everyone simply ignored her, including Ye Feng, who didn't bother to deal with her. So, Long Nannan spent the whole day sulking.
"Grand Sect Leader of the Utility Pavilion has arrived!" With this announcement, Zhao Gongming, dressed in a white robe and embodying a celestial presence, stepped out of a limited-edition carriage, accompanied by Zhang Wenyuan.
As the host, Ye Feng, considering the substantial status of the Grand Sect Leader of the Utility Pavilion, naturally had to come out to greet them personally. Seeing Zhang Wenyuan arriving together, he didn't say much.
However, Ye Feng noticed that compared to a few days ago, Zhang Wenyuan seemed to have changed. Although he was still at the Peak Martial King Realm, he appeared much more composed.
Immediately, Ye Feng knew that Zhang Wenyuan had succeeded; he had mastered the Four Turns of the Reincarnation Wheel Great Technique. With every turn of this Ancient Reincarnation Wheel Technique, one would have to fall from the Divine Path Realm back to the Peak Martial King Realm and withstand unbearable pain. Even Ye Feng had to admit that Zhang Wenyuan was a real man.
"Congratulations!" Ye Feng said with a slight smile to Zhang Wenyuan. Three days earlier, on the way to the Utility Pavilion's Treasure Vault, he had already cleared things up with Zhao Gongming, and naturally, his relationship with Zhang Wenyuan was also resolved.
Zhang Wenyuan bowed his hands and replied, "The one who should be congratulated is you."
Ye Feng chuckled and said, "It seems that before long, I will have to start addressing you as the Southern King."

Zhang Wenyuan also laughed, as heroes appreciate each other. At this moment, the two of them seemed to embody this sentiment.
Now that Zhang Wenyuan had successfully completed the Four Turns, his power had greatly increased. Taking up the position of the New Southern King was as good as confirmed—even more so because of his relationship with his mentor Zhao Gongming, and joining the Utility Pavilion was only a matter of time.
In fact, within the upper circles of the capital, it was already being said that Northern King Ye Feng and Southern King Zhang Wenyuan, one in the north and one in the south—as the saying goes, a country cannot have two rulers—among their contemporaries with equal talent and strength and similarly profound backgrounds, who would eventually enter the Utility Pavilion?
Of course, there was another sentiment in the Imperial Capital: that Northern King Ye Feng had irreparably become enemies with the General's Mansion. Moreover, a Sky-piercing figure had recently emerged from the General's Mansion, a young person with a powerful background and exceptional talent.
Therefore, it was likely that in the near future, Northern King Ye Feng would be pushed out of the Imperial Capital and shamefully roll back from whence he came.
After exchanging pleasantries, Ye Feng welcomed Grand Sect Leader Zhao Gongming and Zhang Wenyuan, along with several Sect Leaders from the Utility Pavilion who came to offer their congratulations.
Ye Feng noticed, however, that Sixth Sect Leader You Jiuming, Seventh Sect Leader Mo Daoxing, and Ninth Sect Leader Qiu Kuzhen were not present, and from the General's Mansion, only two people had come; Great General Duan Tian had not shown up.
As for the representatives of the Three Offices of Xuanyuan Nation, they were almost all present, given that the Three Offices were affiliated with the Utility Pavilion. Boss Cao Yi from the Punishment Heaven Department, who was on good terms with Ye Feng, naturally arrived in person to attend.
Even though the heads of the other two Offices did not attend themselves, they sent their representatives with gifts in tow.
After all, the influence of Northern King Ye Feng was currently at its peak, and no one could be sure whether he would eventually take charge of the Utility Pavilion.
It was clear to any discerning eye that those who did not attend the event were essentially on the opposite side of Ye Feng. Of course, the fact that the Grand Sect Leader arrived did not mean he was on Ye Feng's side—in fact, Grand Sect Leader Zhao Gongming did not side with anyone. He was more about helping himself, or perhaps, his disciple, Zhang Wenyuan.
Thus, subtly, it seemed that three different factions had formed within the Imperial Capital, with the two elders from the Utility Pavilion sitting on high, watching to see who would ultimately come out on top or stand out from the rivals.
By noon, the guests at Northern Cloud Residence had mostly arrived. By this time, those who should come had come, and those who probably did not want to come would not come. However, those who should not come often would.
In the living room, Shi Yehong was sitting in the place of honor, with Grand Sect Leader Zhao Gongming and Boss Cao Yi from the Punishment Heaven Department seated beside him, both there to bear witness.
This mentorship ceremony followed ancient traditions. Hong Qingyan, carrying evening tea, slowly walked toward the beaming Shi Yehong. Although she was still limping, not a single person among the hundred in attendance dared to make a sound of mockery. After all, in such a setting, anyone who dared to mock would surely be courting death.
However, it was exactly the sort of person who did not care about their own life that burst in just as Hong Qingyan was preparing to kneel and perform the teacher-apprenticing ritual. From the outside of the hall, suddenly a cold shout came, "By what right do you take on a disciple, and by what right do you accept others as apprentices without asking for my agreement?"

As the voice fell, the originally lively and harmonious scene immediately turned icy. Ye Feng's expression did not change; he still stood like a javelin beside Hong Qingyan, guarding her. At that moment, he was holding a long spear in his hand, albeit wrapped in cloth.
"Who dares to run wild and cause a disturbance in Northern Cloud Residence, disregarding their own life!" Sima Zhantian promptly jumped out to block the entrance to the hall. At the same time, Leng Wuming and Xiao Chuanqi also made their moves.
"What a joke. Northern Cloud Residence is my home, yet someone has the audacity to claim I'm creating a disturbance. How shamelessly thick-faced can they be?"
It was not until this moment that people realized the newcomer was the daughter of the Old Northern King, Ning Weiwei.
Ning Weiwei was in a green dress, holding in her right hand a green sword inlaid with green gems. It was then that the crowd noticed Ning Weiwei was actually a Divine Path Realm powerhouse.
Behind Ning Weiwei followed six oddly dressed individuals, all with rather strange auras and unusual looks, not resembling people from the Central Plains.
"People from the Western Region?" Second Sect Leader Shi Yehong couldn't help but frown upon seeing this.
Ye Feng's swordlike eyebrows also slightly raised, clearly noticing something was off about Ning Weiwei, as there was an eerie aura about her.
