The loud but hoarse voice was very peculiar, obviously the two figures were still far away, but this voice seemed to be ringing in his ears, Ye Ling looked at the black shadow outside the door that was gradually approaching, his brows furrowed slightly, and he felt a sense of oppression.

The two figures slowly walked towards this side, and when they arrived at the door, Ye Ling saw the appearance of these two people clearly.

One of them was about thirty years old, dressed in a black robe, with black stubble on his chin, a slender figure, dark skin on his face, and a visible scar on his eye. There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he looked at Ye Ba who hurriedly got up, but there was a bit of disdain in his eyes. Obviously, it was this person who had just spoken, and the sense of oppression that Ye Ling felt was also coming from this person. He could feel that this man's strength was far above Ye Ba.

Ye Ling set his eyes on another person, it was a young man in white, the same height as Ye Ling, and his body was thin. But the skin was very white and tender, as if this person had never been in the sun, and the strange thing was the eyes, which were a pair of dark blue eyes, which were inlaid on that face, and looked extraordinarily noble. He held a folding fan in his hand and had a bewitching smile on his face.

Seeing these two people coming to the council hall, Ye Ba hurriedly stood up and greeted him with a smile, and the five elders sitting on the side seat also stood up with respectful expressions, and the six of them left their seats together and walked up.

Ye Ling and Wu Zihan stood next to them, it seemed that there were two big shots, and the two juniors could only stand aside and watch, so that Ye Ba and the others were so respectful, the two of them didn't dare to interject casually.

"Mr. Feng, why are you here?" Ye Ba had a hypocritical smile on his face, it was a helpless smile, and Ye Ling could see that the smile that was squeezed out was not a real smile.

The black-robed man's eyes widened slightly, but he ignored the greeting of Ye Ba and the others, passed them directly, walked to the chief position and sat down, then cocked Erlang's legs, and casually swept the teacup that Ye Ba had just drunk and put down to the ground.

The crisp sound of breaking frightened Ye Ling, his brows furrowed slightly, this person was so arrogant, it made him feel very unhappy, but when Ye Ling's eyes fell on Ye Ba and the others, he found that none of them moved, just stood respectfully below, waiting for the man to speak.

"Ye Ling, don't move, that person is very strong, much stronger than your patriarch. No matter what happens, don't talk nonsense. ”

Feeling Ye Ling's mood swings, Lei Li hurriedly reminded him. After getting along for more than half a month, Lei Li also understood his character as an apprentice, he is the kind of person who absolutely can't stand insults and has exaggerated self-esteem. It's easy to do something stupid with that strong emotion.

Ye Ling nodded slightly, although he was very unhappy in his heart, he also understood that he was just an ant in front of this man.

The young man with the folding fan also walked up to the man's side at this moment, standing behind him, with a disdainful smile on his lips. Although Ye Ling couldn't see the strength of this young man, it was obviously because of the man named Mr. Feng that he dared to be so arrogant.

After about ten seconds, the black-robed man slowly spoke, and the hoarse voice sounded, "What? Can't I come here?"

After finishing speaking, his eyes deliberately scanned the surroundings and looked at the conference hall with disdain.

Ye Ba's face changed, but he hurriedly said: "No, no, no, how can I mean this, the Feng family in the summer capital city will always be the honored guest of my little Ye family, how dare I have the meaning that you can't come!"

When Ye Ba's words fell, Ye Ling raised his head suddenly, with a look of surprise on his face.

The Feng family in the summer capital city, he still knows this name, it is a family that is far larger than the Ye family. Although the British Empire is a country, the power of the royal family is not monolithic. In the British Empire, there are five major powers, in addition to the royal family, there are four other equally powerful forces, and the five forces compete and cooperate with each other, and the public administration of the entire British Empire.

And under those five powerful forces, there are four extremely powerful families, and these four families are powerful forces second only to the five major forces. Some people say that among the four major families, any two families can combine to compete with one of the five major forces. And the Feng family, the capital of the summer, is one of the four major families.

For this kind of power, which can almost be said to be the top in the empire, Ye Ling of course knew that the Ye family was nothing in front of the Feng family, the capital of the summer capital. also finally understood why Ye Ba, who was invincible on weekdays, became as respectful as a servant after seeing these two people today. After all, he is facing one of the four major families, and that kind of power may be able to bring about the destruction of the Ye family in a single hand.

Beside Ye Ling, Wu Zihan's face that had been smiling all the time was also filled with shock at this moment, and it was obvious that she who was in charge of the Library Pavilion must also know the prestige of the Feng family in this summer capital city.

After hearing this, Ye Ling and Wu Zihan's footsteps quietly retreated, retreating to the very edge of the council room. This kind of character that Ye Ba and the others have to treat respectfully, and it is better to stay away from the juniors who are not yet martial artists.

In the face of Ye Ba's flattering words, the black-robed man obviously didn't want to pay attention to it, he touched the green wrench he was carrying in his hand, looked at Ye Ba and smiled: "Then do you know what I came here for this time?"

Ye Ba had an ominous premonition in his heart, he stared at the black-robed man, shook his head lightly and said, "I don't know!"

The black-robed man smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I want you to pay the tribute that needs to be paid at the end of the year as soon as possible, so that I don't have to trouble collecting it when the time comes!"

Hearing this, the expression on Ye Ba's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly said: "Mr. Feng, this ・・・・・ has only been half a year, my Ye family has a thin foundation, and the family business can only earn two hundred Gathering Spirit Pills in half a year, and now if we want to pay three hundred Gathering Spirit Pills, we really can't take it out!"

"Hmph, don't give me this set. Your family's business has been booming recently, and I didn't ask you to pay more, but just asked you to pay half a year in advance. Do you want me to come here again when the time comes?"

The black-robed man slammed the table suddenly, and then shouted angrily.

This roar frightened Ye Ba and the others to lower their heads, Ye Ba hurriedly waved his hand and said respectfully: "No, no, no, Ye doesn't mean that, it's just that we really can't take out the three hundred spirit pills now." Why don't you give you one hundred and fifty pieces first, and I will personally send the other one hundred and fifty pieces to Mr. Feng in Xia Capital City at the end of the year, how about it?"

The black-robed man touched his stubble and pondered Ye Ba's words.

And at this time, Ye Ling and Wu Zihan, who were standing on the side, were already shocked, they didn't know that the Ye family had to pay so much Gathering Spirit Pill to the Feng family in the summer capital every year.

"No wonder, no wonder, no wonder I said that the family business is so prosperous, but it has not been able to expand its power. It turned out that it had been pressed all the time. Three hundred Gathering Spirit Pills, the family can earn more than three hundred Gathering Spirit Pills at most every year, it is too much to pay such a large part!"

Ye Ling felt that there was anger surging in his heart, he knew that the Heavenly Wind Continent was highly hierarchical, and the weak would be bullied, but where he was, he didn't want to be bullied.

His eyes were on the black-robed man, and his eyes were filled with anger. However, the black-robed man didn't seem to notice it, but the white-clothed young man with a folding fan turned his head around, his gaze met Ye Ling's, and then frowned slightly.

However, before the young man's brows were furrowed, his whole expression froze, and his gaze fell on Wu Zihan beside Ye Ling, and there was a flash of light in his gaze, staring at Wu Zihan.

Seeing this scene, Ye Ling's brows furrowed slightly, and then he protected Wu Zihan behind him, and his eyes met the young man's gaze without fear.

The young man didn't care about Ye Ling's approach, a smile bloomed on his face, he bent down and whispered a few words in the ear of the black-robed man.

I saw the black-robed man raise his eyebrows slightly, and then moved his gaze to Ye Ling's side.

That gaze was like a poisonous snake, Ye Ling just glanced at him, and then he felt a cold sweat running out of his back, and his steps unconsciously took a step back, and put his back against the wall, and Wu Zihan was also reexposed to the man's field of vision.

He stared at Wu Zihan, with a little surprise in his eyes.

Immediately after, he turned his gaze to Ye Ba, and then said, "That's good, give you a way to not have to hand over the spirit pill!"

Hearing this, Ye Ba's face was overjoyed, and he was about to speak, but he heard the black-robed man raise his finger and point at Wu Zihan and continued: "As long as you marry that girl to my son, then your Ye family will be exempted from five years of worship!"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Ye Ling and Ye Ba changed instantly.
