Ye Tiancheng discovered something that made him very unhappy: he had no way forward.
Blocked at the gate, a flame ignited in his heart.
He had been mocked before, which had caused him serious displeasure. Perhaps this feeling was fermenting, or perhaps it was due to his bad mood, which made him even more ferocious and angry.
These things gradually formed a murderous aura within him.
This aura instantly manifested, and when these fellows tried to easily dismiss him, they suddenly realized their thoughts were childish.
"What kind of migrant worker are you? Get lost! This is the Feng family!"
"I'm from Xiaohe Village, here to discuss business with your family head. How can you, a mere servant, be so rude to me? Though I am poor today, I will be rich tomorrow!" Ye Tiancheng expressed his opinion like a stubborn old man.
The gatekeeper dog, however, did not listen to his nonsense and directly told him, "Talking so much nonsense to me, you're simply asking for death."
"Yes, I am simply asking for death, but so what?" Ye Tiancheng asked, "Do you want to beat me to death?"
In this Hua country, it was difficult to beat someone to death, so playing with words would not lead to disaster.
"This is truly dog-like!" the gatekeeper dog roared arrogantly, his demeanor telling Ye Tiancheng to get lost!
"What kind of trash are you, you're just a guard dog... Don't show off in front of me, a future rich man. Be careful, or you'll be finished. I'll bury you with money later."
"What a joke, you're the kind of person who can become rich? If it were that easy to become rich, there would be no poor people in this world." This fellow looked down on Ye Tiancheng severely, which was a great taboo in warfare.
Because Ye Tiancheng was indeed very powerful and could defy the heavens, he had nothing to say when others looked down on him, as he was not very powerful at the moment. In the eyes of others, he had not yet matured.
The commotion at the Feng family's gate displeased the steward inside. He came out, saw Ye Tiancheng arguing with the gatekeeper dog, and immediately shouted, "Gatekeeper, what's going on? Just give this beggar a few coins, why are you dawdling? Master will be back soon. If he sees a beggar blocking the entrance, won't he skin us alive?"
For the wealthy and powerful Feng family, rewarding a few coins to beggars was a rule set by their master. This showed that the Feng family was accumulating merit and virtue, and was establishing an image of benevolence.
The establishment of this banner was naturally for their own greatest benefit.
Because by displaying the banner of accumulating merit and virtue, they could make others believe that they were not unrighteous rich people who only cared for themselves and not for the common people.
Such a banner was like a mask for Nuo dance. During the Nuo dance performance, this mask was extremely necessary.
With such a mask, one could traverse the world with ease and be invincible.
Truly capable businessmen would naturally reveal such a facade to the world.
In fact, profit is beneficial if there is profit. Without the ties of profit, this world would be silent and dead.
Therefore, under the sway of profit, everyone would fight for it. The world was like a calm lake into which a small stone was thrown, immediately creating ripples.
Ye Tiancheng was very clear and understood matters of profit, so he did not appear disappointed with reality. Instead, he wanted to be a follower of Confucianism.
Although Confucianism was labeled as feudalistic thought decades ago.
It had recently become popular again, as people felt that Confucianism represented the essence of China's five thousand years of history and should be learned, so that people would be loyal to the emperor and love the country, and live in a strictly hierarchical manner.
Only by establishing such an order could it conform to Chinese civilization.
Ye Tiancheng was a person who liked Confucianism, so he needed this to adorn himself, to make himself shine brilliantly, and then to seek profit.
The world bustles, all for profit; the world flocks, all for profit.
Therefore, the influence of profit on people is very beautiful...
Ye Tiancheng felt that only by having money could one stand tall.
Without money, he was looked down upon at this moment.
His small businesses were merely a speck of dust in front of the Feng family. In front of a wealthy family with billions in assets, ten million was just a small goal.
Ye Tiancheng knew that he was currently lacking in ability, so he had to strive for it.
However, it was easy to deal with the king of hell but difficult to deal with minor devils.
These gatekeepers were not as leisurely and commanding as the Feng family patriarch. They could often display their demeanor towards the poor, giving them a few coins to show their benevolence.
"I say, the steward inside, how can you make me leave! I'm here to see your family head!" Ye Tiancheng did not want to waste time with the steward and got straight to the point.
This was like striking a match. The steward had never been dared to be so insolent in front of him since he became a steward in the Feng family. Now that someone dared to do so, wasn't that like touching the dragon's inverse scale?
A dragon has an inverse scale; touching it means death!
"Kid, you're tired of living!" The steward was very angry and immediately called for people to deal with Ye Tiancheng.
They intended to beat Ye Tiancheng half to death. As long as they didn't kill anyone here, the Feng family could afford to pay compensation.
Therefore, in this situation, Ye Tiancheng could only tell this fellow an unrealistic situation, which was: "Those who obey me prosper, and those who defy me perish!"
"You kid are really courting death, daring to be so disrespectful to your grandfather!" The steward summoned more than a dozen thugs and charged at Ye Tiancheng menacingly. He wanted to kill Ye Tiancheng.
Because this fellow's words were truly unpleasant.
This made the other party feel the pressure.
This demonstrated the other party's powerful family background and status.
After all, they would not take such action unless they were extremely angry.
There was only one reason for taking such action: Ye Tiancheng had violated their will.
This was truly an act of courting death.
After all, in this day and age, it was indeed extremely difficult to achieve something.
"You scoundrels and bastards, how dare you be so impolite to our master!" The rushing thugs wielded clubs and sticks towards Ye Tiancheng's forehead.
They wanted to beat Ye Tiancheng to a point where he could not call for help from heaven or earth.
Therefore, they were very arrogant and overbearing.
Ye Tiancheng did not have much in his hand, it was the hoe he used for farming.
When this item appeared in his hand from his storage ring as if by magic, these people were stunned.
Everyone knew that someone who could do this was a strong person. When they wanted to retreat, the steward stopped them.
"You usually raise soldiers for a thousand days, but now you are negligent when you need to stand up for the Feng family. Do you really not want to work anymore?"
Facing the steward's threat, these people had no choice but to brace themselves and go forward.
Before they could even figure out what was happening, everyone had fallen to the ground.
"Crash!" In an instant, all of them collapsed.
Seeing them all fall, the steward was instantly dumbfounded.
He looked at Ye Tiancheng tremblingly...
Ye Tiancheng walked over and kicked out, and the steward fell to the ground, unable to get up. His whole body convulsed violently, and he foamed at the mouth, looking as if he was having a seizure like a mad sow.
"It's over, you killed him!" The guards were terrified when they saw Ye Tiancheng kick the steward until he foamed at the mouth.
"It's okay, it's not serious at all. Just take a Pear Paste pill from me."
"Pear Paste?"
Hearing Ye Tiancheng's words, those people burst into laughter. They understood what Pear Paste was: it moisturized the lungs, stopped coughing, and cleared virtual heat.
How could these guys understand so much?
It was precisely because they didn't understand that they knew the crux of the problem.
Ye Tiancheng said, "This fellow often chases girls, which has caused virtual fire to rise in his heart. So, that kick didn't hit him, and he had a stroke from fright."
"Nonsense!" At this moment, an old man with snow-white eyebrows and white hair and beard walked in from outside the gate.
This person was the Feng family patriarch, Feng Huaiyuan.
Feng Huaiyuan was furious to see Ye Tiancheng acting so violently at his doorstep. This was the Feng family, and an outsider dared to cause trouble here. He was truly tired of living.
His anger meant that the consequences would be severe.
Seeing Ye Tiancheng being like that, these thugs also started to laugh: "Haha, you brat, you're finished. Why are you showing off your might here? This is Feng family territory. Even dragons have to coil here, and tigers have to lie down."
"What if I don't coil and don't lie down?" Ye Tiancheng saw that these so-called prominent families were all the same. They liked to act pretentious and show off their power, and they liked to flaunt their wealth and chatter endlessly.
Such people severely infringed upon the Feng family's interests.
Therefore, these people went mad.
They wanted to get rid of Ye Tiancheng.
So, in the next moment, they all madly lunged at Ye Tiancheng. According to Feng Huaiyuan's wishes, they would not be responsible even if they killed him!
With Feng Huaiyuan's backing, these people became even more frenzied.
They attacked with the intention of beating Ye Tiancheng to death.
The previous lesson had clearly not taught these people any sense, which was why they foolishly rushed towards Ye Tiancheng.
In the next moment, these people lunged at Ye Tiancheng with great ferocity.
In the next moment, they were completely finished.
It was because of this that they understood a tragic truth: offending Ye Tiancheng meant only a dead end.
In the next moment, these people were truly finished.
Facing the powerful offensive, these people had no extra choices.
When everyone felt hopeless, a young man in white suddenly appeared before them.
This person was Feng Huaiyuan's grandson, Feng Zhongke.
Seeing someone causing trouble at his family's gate, he smiled: "Who is this person, daring to be so arrogant in front of my grandfather."
"My name is Ye Tiancheng, and I'm from Xiaohe Village. I had something to do with your family head, but I was blocked by your family's dogs, and they threatened to beat me to death."
"So what if we beat you to death? Don't you know how powerful our Feng family is?" Feng Zhongke laughed heartily, "Why should a piece of trash like you have the right to discuss business with our Feng family?"
"Just because I can defeat everyone here." Ye Tiancheng was very annoyed. What the hell was going on? These people were arrogant in front of him just because they had a little money. Were they really tired of living?
Suddenly, a sharp aura swept in, instantly suppressing these fellows... They could never have imagined that the person in front of them at this moment was Hou Mingzhu's husband – Ye Tiancheng!
"You're very arrogant, daring to speak such wild words!"
"I am this arrogant, come and hit me if you dare!" Ye Tiancheng adopted a posture of a dead pig not fearing boiling water, which instantly stunned these fellows. They never expected Ye Tiancheng to be so audacious.
Feng Zhongke was very angry seeing Ye Tiancheng's unruliness. A sharp weapon suddenly appeared in his hand. What he wanted to do was to kill Ye Tiancheng.
Feng Huaiyuan remained silent, which meant he had tacitly agreed.
With his grandfather's tacit approval, this fellow had no worries.
Saying this, he madly lunged at Ye Tiancheng.
The weapon in his hand swung wildly at Ye Tiancheng. He wanted to kill him and erase him from this world forever.
What this fellow never expected was that Ye Tiancheng was too powerful and gave him no chance or illusion. In the next moment, he finally understood what a powerful person was like. So, when he finally understood that he was about to be finished, he fell to his knees with a thud, his face ashen, and kowtowed to Ye Tiancheng.
"Spare my life, my lord, spare my life. I was wrong, I shouldn't have offended you."
"I originally wanted to cooperate with your family on a big business, but you were so negligent towards capable people. You made a big mistake, so I mercilessly tell you that you are finished."
Of course, this was to scare them. The main thing was to successfully negotiate the business. But now that things had reached such a point of irreconcilability, it was harder than climbing to heaven to do business with the Feng family.
Mainly because they felt that Ye Tiancheng had disappointed them too much. They should be made to understand what the source of sin was, the pressure and burden he should have borne a day ago. Therefore, these people would not do business with him, nor would they reach any agreement. Instead, they would be listed as enemies. So, at this time, wanting to do business with them was simply talking nonsense.
Seeing how disappointing these fellows were, of course, they all felt that they should teach this guy a good lesson.
Therefore, from the beginning, they unleashed their powerful offensive abilities to get rid of Ye Tiancheng.
Of course, what happened afterward was just their current thought. So, they unleashed their powerful offensive abilities. After this matter was resolved, they would find fierce people, just like the Hou family finding people from the Mountain Snake organization to deal with Ye Tiancheng.
Nuwa Stone did not expect Ye Tiancheng to offend another prominent family. The fellow laughed inside Ye Tiancheng's body.
"What's so funny about this? Powerful people should have powerful abilities. Those without powerful abilities are destined to be killed. This is an undeniable fact." Ye Tiancheng also laughed at Nuwa Stone in his divine consciousness.
As a very powerful person, he naturally understood how trashy others were in front of powerful people. Therefore, they were very clear about the predicament they would face if they offended someone as powerful and capable as Ye Tiancheng. This was not bragging, because those people already possessed abilities that others did not. The abilities possessed by a single genius were enough that even the military strength of a small country could not threaten his personal safety. On the contrary, if he was unhappy, these small countries might be destroyed by such a person who corrected his abilities.
This was naturally an exaggeration, but in the future, as he gradually mastered the power of the six divine artifacts, he would naturally be able to do so easily. Therefore, Ye Tiancheng was gradually expressing his powerful and capable might.
Of course, these ordinary people could not see his future potential, because even two fists could not defeat four hands, and a fierce tiger could not withstand a pack of wolves. Although these ordinary people could not deal with one or two of them, they would still find some cultivators who possessed great power. Under the powerful offensive of these cultivators, even Mount Tai could be leveled.
Therefore, these people would not truly reconcile with Ye Tiancheng.
The complex things hidden in their hearts gradually overshadowed their inherent purity and kindness. This fellow gradually changed his tune. They were a group of arrogant and extremely brutal people.
"I don't know what you're thinking, so my previous thoughts have changed. My intention to do business with you is also cut off. We'll see each other in the future..."
After saying this, Ye Tiancheng flicked his sleeves and left, ignoring Feng Zhongke, who was kneeling on the ground.
Seeing Ye Tiancheng turn and leave, Feng Zhongke stood up angrily and cursed, "This brat, how dare he offend our family's people? You've offended me, and you're dead. I will definitely find someone powerful to kill you."
"Stop your empty threats. Didn't you see the strange power he possesses? And this power is not something ordinary cultivators, or even higher-level cultivators, can deal with." Feng Huaiyuan's eyes showed a look of worry. As someone who had walked a longer path than his grandson, he naturally understood and saw that Ye Tiancheng's strength was extraordinary. Such a person was not someone that ordinary people could deal with. However, Feng Zhongke did not believe his grandfather's words at all.
Feng Zhongke was naturally not as wise as his grandfather. What he thought was different from his grandfather. After all, he was young and impetuous. What he thought of was only one word: "Fight!"
This impetuous temper would ultimately bring negative consequences to their family, and might even push the entire family into an abyss of eternal damnation. But this fellow did not consider the consequences at all. Therefore, when his grandfather saw his unruly temper, he was very worried and ordered the family retainers to lock him in his room for a month, forbidding him from leaving. If he dared to leave, he would not be allowed to enter the family genealogy and would be expelled from the Feng family.
Such a punishment was unbearable for this young man. He did not understand why he was so cowardly. How could a mere country bumpkin compare to them, who were noble and born with a golden spoon?
This fellow's arrogant temper was truly terrifying. If he had the wisdom of his grandfather, he would never have such thoughts. That is to say, his thoughts were a terrible thing. But his own doctor could not cure his illness, and his own shaman could not cure his spirit.
Everyone pays a heavy price in the process of growth, and Feng Zhongke's price will be very large, so large that he will never be able to recover, because he offended a powerful person.
