Chiyang City is located in the middle of nowhere, in the northwest of the Lie Kingdom, and like other small cities on the edge, the sun rises and the sun sets.

If it weren't for the production of various pills in the city, all kinds of caravans would have been constantly going back and forth between Chiyang City and various places. Relying on the barren material production in the city alone cannot maintain the current prosperity.

The February wind is bitterly cold. Although it is far less difficult than the howling north wind in winter, it is not something that Ye Feng, who is wearing shabby clothes, can bear.

He spat the ground where the snow still remained. Ye Feng rubbed his hands, lifted a sharpened axe with both hands, and slashed at the small tree in front of him.

One, two, three, each stroke suffocated Ye Feng's pale face. The gap in the small tree grew larger and larger, and finally with an overwhelming click, it fell to the ground, stirring up fallen leaves all over the ground.

Ye Feng wiped the sweat from his forehead, and with all his energy, he took the axe to cut the small tree into several pieces, and tied it with the thick hemp rope he carried with him. With difficulty behind him, he staggered to the foot of the mountain.

This is the daily routine that Ye Feng has long been accustomed to in the past two years, as a partner of Haoweixuan in the city.

Every morning he came to the mountain very early, cut firewood and sent it to the house. Then go to the front hall to serve tea and pour water, and serve the guests.

The gate of Chiyang City gradually appeared in Ye Feng's sight, and Ye Feng walked all the way, picking some dew-stained mushrooms. It can be exchanged for a few copper coins with the shopkeeper, which is also a surprise.

The guards at the city gate were already familiar with the young man who went out to chop wood every day, and waved him into the city without carefully inspecting him.

When Ye Feng entered the city, he heard a shrill laugh from the side: "Yo, isn't this Young Master Ye." Why don't you sleep in your Ye family's mansion early in the morning, and go back to the city with a bundle of firewood on your back? The dignified young master of the Ye family, to do the rough and heavy work that these servants can do, it is really insulting to the ancestors of the Ye family! ”

Ye Feng turned his head to look, and saw a thin young man in a purple robe with cold eyes shining through the shop that had just opened on the side of the street. The young man walked up to Ye Feng with bad intentions, his eyes swept back and forth on the firewood and body behind Ye Feng, and his thin lips spit out harsh words.

"I think how majestic your Ye family's eldest young master was back then, he cultivated to the second level of the day after tomorrow at the age of seven, and broke through to the tenth level of the day after tomorrow at the age of twelve. If it weren't for being abolished and cultivated later because of violating family rules, I'm afraid that we would have a martial arts wizard in Chiyang City! ”

The servants who came out with the young man in the shop immediately coaxed behind the young man: "That is, maybe the eldest young master of the Ye family can break through the innate and become a martial arts master who is famous in Chiyang!" There is no need to do some heavy and clumsy work every day to barely make ends meet! ”

Ye Feng raised his eyebrows and said angrily, "Li Kui, what do you mean by this?" ”

Li Kui said with a smile on his face: "How dare I mean anything to Young Master Ye, it's just that the dignified Ye family is young, but he has to do this kind of miscellaneous work here." I can't bear it, I happen to lack a personal servant by my side. It's better that Young Master Ye has been doing things by my side since then, which is more comfortable than carrying firewood and burning fires every day! ”

Ye Feng looked coldly at the thin young man in front of him who had been making trouble with a group of families since he was expelled from the Ye family.

With his fists clenched, he replied angrily: "Li Kui, don't think that I don't know who instructed you behind your back. Go back and tell Ye Qiushui that even if I die, I won't move my mother out of the Ye family's ancestral grave! She has worked hard for the Ye family for a lifetime, and she can be regarded as worthy of the ancestors of the Ye family! If he Ye Qiushui still has a trace of conscience, he should stop from now on! Otherwise, such a ruthless and unrighteous person, how will he inherit the Ye family's family business in the future! ”

Li Kui's eyes were fierce when he heard this, and he gritted his teeth and scolded: "I have good words to persuade you, but you are so ignorant!" If it weren't for the fact that you still have the Ye family's bloodline on your body, I would have scrapped your limbs and thrown you into the barren mountains to feed the wolves, you don't want to toast and eat and drink! ”

Ye Feng clenched the axe in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Who is the little mongrel scolding? ”

Li Kui saw Ye Feng frowning and holding a sharp axe. But he was not afraid at all, and said with a smile: "Ye Feng, you waste, do you think you are still the same Ye Feng back then?" If you have the ability, do it! With your strength now, you don't even have the strength to fight me? If you dare to do it, I will dare to waste your limbs, and let you be a beggar on the street from now on, begging all day long, eating other people's leftovers and water! ”

Ye Feng smiled angrily and said, "Li Kui! Even if I only have one weight, I am better than you, a waste who is forcibly raised to five levels by relying on pills! Have the ability to gamble with me in the ring of life and death! Otherwise, shut up your stinky mouth! ”

Li Kui saw that although Ye Feng was abolished, he was still full of confidence to challenge him, and his heart sank: "Is he lying to intimidate me or is he really full of confidence?" If he just lied and intimidated me, I could just take this opportunity to get rid of him openly, and presumably the old guy of the Ye family wouldn't be able to say anything! But if I'm really defeated by this waste, then I won't be able to mix in the city anymore! ”

Li Kui's heart was entangled in every way, staring at Ye Feng's resolute face, his face was cloudy. Just when Li Kui couldn't make up his mind, Li Kui's personal servant Li Yong stepped forward. shouted and scolded: "Even you, a waste, deserve to compete with the young master?" Come on, let me weigh whether you have the qualifications first! ”

Li Kui was overjoyed when he heard this: "Li Yong was arranged by his father by his side, and he was called a handyman and was actually a bodyguard. It is really good for him to go out for an interview to find out Ye Feng's strength, if it is really a lie and threat, I can't say that today next year will be Ye Feng's death! ”

Thinking of this, Li Kui opened his mouth and smiled: "That's fine, but gambling can't always be without a lottery." I know that the jade plate tied around your waist, Young Master Ye, was left by your mother on her deathbed, although it is not worth a few dollars. It's a bit of an add-on, I don't know what you think, Young Master Ye? ”

Ye Feng sneered: "Li Kui! I am challenging you. You actually used your bodyguards to deal with it, you are not afraid! The battle of life and death was set up by the Lieguo Sect in order to resolve disputes between families. Where is there a master who does not dare to go up and take a servant to deal with things! The dignified Li family has a soft egg who is greedy for life and afraid of death, so it is really not hard to work! ”

Li Kui blushed with an old face, turned his heart sideways at the moment, and shouted to the servants behind him: "Give it to me!" Throw me all his firewood! Dropped the jade plaque on his waist for me! Beat me to death! I don't believe it, that old ghost of the Ye family would really be the enemy of my Li family for such a waste! ”

When the servants of the Li family heard Li Kui's order, they immediately surrounded Ye Feng from all sides, and slowly surrounded him with sticks and blades.

If he hadn't had any scruples about Ye Feng's past prestige, he would have rushed up and knocked Ye Feng to the ground.

Ye Feng looked coldly at the servants who were surrounding him, and held the axe across his chest. stared at Li Yong, who was walking in the front, and silently calculated the best attack distance in his heart.

At this moment, a loud noise was suddenly heard in the distance. Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see a wide field of smoke rising from the far northwest.

In an instant, the flames soared into the air, and a noisy cry could be faintly heard.

When Li Kui saw this scene, his face turned white with fright. Trembling asked, "What's going on?" Why did all of a sudden there be such a big fire? ”

Li Yong raised his eyebrows, ran to the eaves of the next building, and jumped on the roof. Raised his eyes and said, "Young Master! It's the Ye family's mansion! The Ye family's mansion is on fire! It seems that there are still people fighting in the air! ”

Li Kui's face turned pale with fright, and he shook his head again and again: "How is it possible? The head of the Ye family is a congenital master! Who is so bold as to make trouble in the Ye family's main house? (To be continued.) )
