Hours after Ye Feng left the Ye family, he still hadn't fully recovered from the shock.
He never expected Qin Mingyuan to be his biological father, nor that he was part of the Qin family!
But no matter how much he disbelieved it, feeling the connection of blood, he knew Qin Mingyuan hadn't lied to him. He was indeed a Qin, Qin Mingyuan's son!
After a brief moment of calm, Ye Feng quickly accepted the fact. With a complex expression, he looked at Qin Mingyuan and asked, "Does my mother know about this?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Mingyuan immediately smiled and said, "She knew when we went to Chaotic Stone Island. However, the Qin family's situation was complicated at the time, which is why we didn't acknowledge you."
"But don't worry, Xiao Feng. I've already sent someone to bring her over. Judging by the time, she should be arriving soon!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure walked in from outside – his mother!
"Mom, why are you here?"
Seeing this, Ye Feng immediately rushed forward excitedly. Looking at his mother, who was beaming with happiness, Ye Feng couldn't help but feel joyful.
He hadn't returned home during this period to avoid worrying his mother, so he was overjoyed to see them reunited.
Seeing him, his mother smiled and said, "Your father said you were back, so I came along. Now that I see you're alright, Mom is relieved!"
To avoid worrying his mother, Qin Mingyuan hadn't told her about Ye Feng falling into the spatial passage, only that Ye Feng would be back in a while.
Therefore, his mother was relieved to see Ye Feng unharmed.
Afterward, the family of three reminisced. Ye Feng took the opportunity to learn about Qin Mingyuan's story, which dispelled his earlier resentment about being abandoned.
It turned out that after Qin Mingyuan was shipwrecked at sea, he was taken back by the Qin family, and had been disabled all these years.
If Ye Feng hadn't encountered him later and healed him, it was uncertain if he would have been able to stand again.
Soon, after some casual conversation, Qin Mingyuan said, "Alright, we'll talk about the rest later. Your grandfather has something to discuss with you. I'll take your mother out first."
With that, Qin Mingyuan left with his mother.
Ye Feng, on the other hand, turned to look at the entrance. At that moment, Grandpa Qin, along with other members of the Qin family, entered.
Qin Lan and Qin Mo, whom he had met before, as well as Qin Mingdao and Qin Mingzhong, were all present.
There were also some people Ye Feng had seen but didn't know.
Upon entering, Grandpa Qin looked at Ye Feng and laughed heartily, "Young Ye, you were amazing just now! You truly are the grandson of my Qin Feihong. What so-called Dragon Court genius is nothing more than this!"
Ye Feng's recent battle with Lu Minghua had filled him with immense pride. His grandson, Qin Feihong's grandson, even without growing up in a prominent family, could still stand tall among his peers!
"Haha, Grandpa Qin..."
Hearing this, Ye Feng was about to reply "Grandpa Qin," but then he remembered that he was now part of the Qin family and quickly corrected himself, "That's a given. No matter what, I'm your grandson, how could I be subpar?"
"Haha, good, good!" Grandpa Qin laughed with delight, his face beaming with pride.
"Come, Xiao Feng, while we have this time, I'll introduce you to the other members of the family!"
Grandpa Qin pointed to the people behind him and introduced, "You already know your Uncle Mingdao and the others, so I won't introduce them. This is the Second Elder, Qin He, the Third Elder, Wang Gang, the Fourth Elder..."
"Hello, Grandpa Qin He, Grandpa Wang..."
Ye Feng nodded and greeted them one by one. These were the Qin family experts who had acted at the Ye family courtyard earlier. Although he had seen them, this was his first formal introduction.
The elders also nodded and acknowledged Ye Feng. Just as Grandpa Qin was proud, so were they.
For many years, due to Qin Mingyuan's physical condition, the Qin family's descendants had been in decline, becoming a target of ridicule from other families.
However, Ye Feng's appearance had completely changed this outcome.
Not only did he sweep through the Ye family's geniuses single-handedly, but he also defeated Lu Minghua, bringing immense honor to the Qin family. How could they not be happy?
"By the way, Xiao Feng, since you're back, when do you have time? I'll have someone arrange a welcoming banquet for you, so that people from other families can also know your identity!"
Grandpa Qin continued. Although Qin Mingyuan had publicly announced Ye Feng's identity, such a significant event as his return deserved a grander celebration.
However, Ye Feng declined, shaking his head, "Forget it, Grandpa. It's too much trouble. It's enough for the family to know. Whether others know or not, it's not important!"
"That's fine too!"
Grandpa Qin didn't insist and replied, "But you are my grandson after all, so let's have a small gathering. At least let the family's affiliated businesses get to know you..."
However, just as Ye Feng thought it was a small gathering, what happened next made his eyelids twitch.
In the most luxurious manor in the capital, countless distinguished figures in suits, exuding an aura of gravitas, appeared before him.
Bosses of trillion-dollar corporations, leaders of major industries, or influential figures who governed regions – almost everyone of note in China was present.
These were people he usually only saw on television or in the news, but now, they were all gathered in a manor under the Qin family's banner.
What shocked Ye Feng even more was that this was only a portion of them. Some had unavoidable commitments or couldn't make it at the last minute, meaning there were even more.
This scene gave him a clearer understanding of the Qin family's strength, a strength that could not be described as merely formidable.
It was no wonder the Qin family had shown no fear when facing the Dragon Court before.
If nothing else, this strength alone was enough to make the Dragon Court hesitant to engage in a full-scale war with the Qin family.
As Ye Feng was getting acquainted with everyone, at the entrance of the Qin family's residence, several figures dressed in opulent attire and possessing extraordinary auras walked in.
Upon seeing one of them, Ye Feng's eyes widened in surprise.
"Brother Ye Feng, you... you're back! I knew it. Good deeds are rewarded, and you'll definitely be alright!" As she spoke, the incredibly beautiful figure rushed towards Ye Feng.
Ye Feng was startled, and as he opened his arms to embrace her, he patted her head and said, "Hmm? Ling'er, why are you here too?"
That's right, the person who arrived was Chu Ling'er!
After not seeing her for many days, Chu Ling'er had become even more radiant. Even Ye Feng, who considered himself well-traveled, was struck by her beauty.
"Hmph, of course I had to come!" Chu Ling'er pouted her delicate nose and said indignantly, "Unlike you, you came back without telling me, making me worry for so long!"
If it weren't for today's competition with the Ye family, she wouldn't have known Ye Feng was back, so she was naturally displeased.
"Uh..." Hearing this, Ye Feng felt a bit sheepish. He hadn't informed anyone upon his return, so it was natural for Chu Ling'er not to know.
"Alright, alright, it's my fault. To express my apologies, how about I treat you to dinner here tonight!" Ye Feng said with a smile.
"Mmmhmm!" Chu Ling'er happily nodded. She wouldn't truly blame Ye Feng; on the contrary, she was overjoyed.
After all, Ye Feng being alive and back was the most important thing.
Soon, they chatted animatedly until late into the night, and Chu Ling'er reluctantly left the Qin family.
Watching her retreating figure, Ye Feng pondered for a moment and then said, "Never mind, since I'm back, I should let them know, lest they worry..."
