Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 472 - 470: The Weird Little Baby Girl!

Seeing Hong Qingyan suddenly rush out from the side door, Ye Feng, as well as the three elders of the Hong Family of the Ancient Clan, were all taken aback. It was quite meaningful, for now, Qingyan's cultivation level was on the verge of reaching the Great Perfection Level. Coupled with her special bloodline, as long as she didn't make a move and hid her aura, not even a grandmaster of the Golden Core Realm could sense her presence.

Of course, this was also because Ye Feng had not released his spiritual power. Otherwise, as long as someone was within the scope of his spiritual power, no one could possibly hide from his senses.

"Qingyan, why have you come out?" Ye Feng turned his head and asked, while the three elders of the Hong Clan also turned their heads to look at her. The previously tense atmosphere immediately relaxed considerably.

"Big Brother Ye, please forgive my sudden interruption. But since today's matters arose because of me, I feel I must step forward. After all, I am no longer the frail woman I once was, and I cannot always let you bear the burden of every incident!" Qingyan said with a slight smile.

Ye Feng nodded and said no more. He had not intended to let Qingyan know about this matter originally, to save her from feeling awkward in between, because although Qingyan didn't have much affection for the Hong Family, she was still related by blood and would have her concerns.

Hong Qingyan then turned to the three Hong Clan elders and said, "May I ask the three elders, now that I have come out, could you please sit down again so that we can have a proper discussion?"

Hong Renze snorted and did not bother to respond. It was Hong Tianze who nodded slightly and said with a smile, "That sounds excellent. Then let us sit down and talk."

"Please take a seat, three elders," Qingyan gestured slightly, her attitude was gentle, yet she stood with dignity.

The three Hong Clan elders then took their seats once again, while Ye Feng also seated himself naturally.

However, Qingyan stood in the center of the hall. She pondered for a moment before saying, "Since the matter has developed to this stage, even if I am reluctant to acknowledge it, having the bloodline inheritance, the blood connection is there, and despite wishing otherwise, I have no choice but to recognize it."

Elder Hong Dize immediately asked, "So what you're saying is that you're willing to return to the family, is that correct?"

Qingyan smiled charmingly and shook her head, "The elder has misunderstood. We must clarify a point here: acknowledging that I am a descendant of the Hong Family of the Ancient Clan and returning are two different matters. As I said earlier, I acknowledge it because of the bloodline inheritance—it is something I was born with and cannot deny. However, that does not mean I am willing to return."

Perhaps because of Qingyan's consistently gentle and friendly attitude, and considering she was a woman and a member of the Hong Family, there was no way for the three elders to have an outburst.

After giving it some serious thought, Hong Tianze asked, "Then young lady, what exactly are you thinking?"

Qingyan still smiled gently, glanced at Ye Feng, and said, "Firstly, I want to make one thing clear, whether or not I return to the clan in the future, no one is allowed to interfere or obstruct my relationship with Big Brother Ye. Unless he chooses to abandon me first, I will not leave him under any circumstances. I hope the three elders understand this, or else there is no point in our discussion today."

Hong Renze couldn't help but snort coldly and said, "Qingyan, little girl, your words now are way too naive. You have lived in the secular world for years and are not fully aware of the power of the Four Great Ancient Clans. Among our younger generation, there are countless talents, each with a hundred times the talent and appearance of those outside. All it would take is for you to go back and see for yourself."

Qingyan immediately interrupted with a cold huff, "I have no need to see. If the elder continues with this attitude, please leave. Just like Big Brother Ye, I am resolute in my stance."

The hot-tempered Hong Renze was about to burst out again, but Hong Tianze quickly gave him a glare to stop him, before expressing with a sigh, "Qingyan, our Ancient Clan has its particularities. If it were any ordinary disciple, it might be a different matter, but you are different. You carry our Hong Family's Bloodline of the Wings of Light. According to the rules of our Ancient Hong Clan, this bloodline cannot under any circumstances be passed on to outsiders."

Elder Hong Dize also added with a cold snort, "That's right. The Wings of Light absolutely cannot be disclosed. Otherwise, one shall be seen as a traitor to the clan, and must be executed by our kin!"

Qingyan did not speak, she hadn't anticipated this, and stood there, stunned for a moment.

Seeing this, Hong Tianze asked, "Young lady Qingyan, speak your thoughts. What conditions are needed for you to return to the family? Honestly speaking, if it were not for the Bloodline of the Wings of Light within you, the three of us elders would not have come here today, and the clan would not have taken such interest."

Ye Feng laughed coldly when he heard this. "Are you saying that if Qingyan were just an ordinary member of your clan with mediocre talents, you wouldn't care less about her wellbeing?"

Hong Renze immediately retorted coldly, "Indeed, with thousands of members in our clan, if every single one were to alarm the elders, when would we have time to cultivate?"

Ye Feng shook his head, thinking to himself that this is what the so-called Four Great Ancient Clans are like. In reality, what they valued was not Qingyan herself, but the bloodline inheritance within her.

Qingyan, of course, understood this as well, so she felt a tint of desolation in her heart. After taking a deep breath, she said, "When Elder Hong Yaoyao came before, I already stated my position. For me to consider returning, I must first clarify who my biological parents are, and in addition, I need to understand why they abandoned me at the time."

At this Qingyan let out a bitter laugh and added, "Since they had the heart to abandon me then, I can't just return now without an explanation, can I?"

Hong Tianze nodded and with a long sigh said, "Indeed, we have been too hasty and did not consider your feelings, nor did we think from your perspective. But since you mentioned your biological parents, I should explain that our Ancient Hong Clan has a history of more than two thousand years. During this time, there have been several accidents, and many clan members became scattered. Therefore, we cannot immediately identify the specifics of your origin."

Hong Qingyan gave a wry smile, "Then keep investigating!"

Unable to restrain himself again, Hong Renze clenched his teeth and barked, "What kind of attitude is that? What do you mean, keep investigating? Do you think you can avoid returning to the family indefinitely if we can't find anything? Let me tell you, Hong Qingyan, the only reason we tolerate this is because we're in the Outer Sect and you haven't been trained in the family's rules and etiquette. Otherwise, with your attitude, you'd be severely punished without mercy!"

Ye Feng stood up abruptly, walked beside Hong Qingyan, and fixed his gaze on Hong Renze as he enunciated each word, "Let me give you some advice. She's my woman. Mind your language. If you dare to shout like this again, don't blame me for being rude."

"You really have a big mouth, kid. To be honest, I've been tolerating you for a long time. Since it's like this, then make your move. Today, I must teach you a lesson in manners!" Hong Renze roared in anger.

"Enough!" Hong Qingyan suddenly shouted coldly, "I have already made myself very clear. I will not return to the clan, at least not now. Elders, please leave. Someone, see the guests out!"

"You little brat, you..." Hong Renze was so infuriated he was practically exploding.

However, Hong Tianze stopped him and said, "Since it's like this, we will take our leave for now. But this matter must be resolved. We shall visit again. Of course, our patience is limited."

Having said this, Hong Tianze quickly pulled Hong Renze and turned to leave.

"Big Brother, don't stop me. Today, I must properly teach these two a lesson for their ignorance of their station!" Hong Renze gritted his teeth and said.

"Enough, regardless of anything else, she is a Direct Lineage descendant of our Hong Family. If you want to make a move, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Why the rush?" Having said this, the three of them had already walked out of the hall to the exterior courtyard and then soared into the sky, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

It was quite a while after the three had left that Hong Qingyan finally turned her head to look at Ye Feng and asked, "Big Brother Ye, did I do anything wrong in this matter?"

Ye Feng responded irritably, ruffling her hair, "Why would you think that? You did the right thing today, neither servile nor overbearing, while also clearly expressing your own stance."

Hong Qingyan nodded slightly and sighed, "Both emotionally and rationally, the blood of the Hong Family of the Ancient Clan flows through my veins. In fact, I too would like to go back and see if I can recover some memories. It's just that those three people just now were a bit too domineering. They not only want me to return but also insist on cutting off our relationship so we never interact again. That's downright unreasonable."

Ye Feng simply smiled and said nothing more, but he understood that the Ancient Hong Clan acted this way entirely because he was an outsider, and there had been a previous conflict between them. Naturally, the Ancient Hong Clan would not want them to be together, to avoid the possibility of the Bloodline of the Wings of Light being passed on to outsiders.

Of course, Ye Feng did not say these things out loud. He could tell that Hong Qingyan wasn't in a great mood, so he changed the subject, "Spring has already arrived, and the peach blossoms in many places have bloomed. How about we go out for a walk to relax?"

"That sounds good!" Hong Qingyan nodded slightly but just as the two were about to walk into the courtyard, Long Nannan, the lively and mischievous little girl, popped up from somewhere.

"Wow, Little Martial Uncle, you two are going out to enjoy the spring without me? That's really unkind. How could you not include me in such fun?" Long Nannan put on an aggrieved look, then added, "Although Northern Cloud Residence is quite big, traversing back and forth has grown tiresome. Won't you take me with you, Little Martial Uncle?"

Ye Feng couldn't help feeling a bit helpless and shook his head, "Whether we take you is not for me to decide. You should ask your Little Martial Aunt."

Long Nannan immediately bounced over and grabbed Hong Qingyan's wrist, pleading, "Little Martial Aunt, you're so kind and beautiful, you won't really be so cruel as to leave me here all alone, will you?"

"Alright, alright, since that's the case, let's all go together." Hong Qingyan smiled. With the chattering little girl beside her, like a lively magpie, her mood suddenly improved a great deal.

However, Ye Feng suddenly thought of the little baby girl they had adopted from Fallen Dragon Valley and suggested going to see her.

Ever since discovering that the baby girl's background was unusual, Ye Feng dared not keep her at Northern Cloud Residence. After all, even his Divine Path Heavenly Edict Scroll couldn't suppress his own luck from being continuously absorbed by the baby girl, which was a rather terrifying matter. So from then on, Ye Feng found a small residence on the outskirts of the Inner Capital and instructed a few people to take good care of her.

When they arrived at the small residence on the outskirts of the Inner Capital at dusk, the house wasn't big, but it was very delicate and quiet. Ye Feng was surprised to see that the baby girl was growing up well, with a round and rosy face, unaffected by being brought here.

"It seems she doesn't need to absorb my luck to survive," Ye Feng mused quietly to himself. But as he approached, his luck began to leak out slowly, even with the Divine Path Heavenly Edict Scroll unable to suppress it.

"By the way, why are there only you two aunts in the courtyard? What about the four guards that were arranged?" Hong Qingyan asked.

"Oh, they're ill, and quite seriously so. They haven't been here for a while now," replied the aunt holding the baby girl.

"Ill? All four of them are ill?" Hong Qingyan asked, and upon hearing her words, Ye Feng's brow creased slightly; he felt there was something peculiar about this situation.
