Chapter 144: The Founding Patriarch of South China Province

Ye Fei did not move. He stood right where he was, watching them, yet not a single bodyguard dared to stir. They had clearly witnessed Ye Fei descending gracefully from the high altitude.

They would not dare to provoke Ye Fei even if they were given a hundred lives of courage.

Besides, they were merely hired to act as bodyguards for this young master; where would they ever find the obligation to risk their lives for him? Bodyguards were human beings too, many with families to support back home, and there was simply no need to fight to the death over this.

After waiting for a minute, the men behind him remained entirely motionless. Liu Xiaonan grew anxious on the spot and hurriedly waved his bargaining chips, shouting, "Whoever takes down Ye Fei, I will give one million to each of you!"

...

Naturally, compared to one's life, this one million was utterly insignificant.

The bodyguards remained motionless as expected, which ended up making Ye Fei rather impatient. He quickly turned his head and said, "How about this? Why don't you give it to me instead? Give me ten million, and I'll apologize to you. How does that sound?"

Liu Xiaonan sneered and said without a shred of politeness, "So that's how it is. You really are just some country bumpkin from the boondocks. I knew someone like you would be willing to act as a dog for anyone just for money."

As a matter of fact, anyone who had ever insulted Ye Fei was already off meeting the King of Hell by now. This fellow certainly wouldn't live to see tomorrow morning, except that Ye Fei currently lacked the energy to bicker with him any further.

"You really only have this much capability. Ranting and raving is one thing, but what else can you actually do? How many women can you sleep with in a single night? Just look at that sallow complexion of yours—can you even manage to finish with just one without sweating profusely, damn it?" Ye Fei continued with a cheeky grin, "If you don't mind, I can treat you for free."

Liu Xiaonan's lips began to tremble once more. His originally dark complexion had long since turned into the color of a pig's liver. In all his life, no one had ever dared to insult him like this!

"You... say that to me one more time if you dare!"

Ye Fei shrugged helplessly and said, "Young Master Liu, whether what I'm saying is the truth or not, you can just ask the bodyguards behind you. They probably follow you day and night—don't you end up finishing in three minutes every single time?"

The bodyguards behind Young Master Liu involuntarily recalled the young master's nightly performances and nodded repeatedly. "It is indeed like that. Are you a divine doctor? Can you help treat this condition?"

Ye Fei straightened his clothes and said solemnly, "Although I am lacking in many respects, I truly am a physician, universally known by the title of Divine Doctor."

Liu Xiaonan had lived his entire life in a pampered, sheltered environment; when had he ever needed to exercise? Coupled with his extreme lust, if his body hadn't collapsed by now, it would be a grave injustice to all his years of debauchery.

"My ass I need your treatment! Just you wait! If I don't avenge this grievance, my name isn't Liu Xiaonan."

He shot a cold, venomous glare, spun around, and dove straight into the jeep.

Watching the vehicle drive away, Ye Fei decided to first investigate the prominent aristocratic families of South China Province. Since this brat could afford to be so arrogant, there was no telling how he might move against the Bai family.

What kind of disciples had his master taken in? They were practically a bunch of suicidal royal princesses, and he was expected to protect them one by one. Yet what could he do? After all, they were his senior apprentice sisters.

"Junior Brother, you were truly so cool just now! You could practically star in a martial arts film with me. And your looks aren't bad either; would you like Senior Sister to help you launch your career?"

Ye Fei retreated step by step. He had no desire to linger around Bai Yaoyao unless he wanted to be scolded to death. The main issue was that Bai Yaoyao was utterly thick-skinned and oblivious to the fact that she had offended powerful people. Ye Fei, however, possessed a normal brain and could not afford to be as socially oblivious as her.

"No thanks, Senior Sister. I still need to make a trip to South China Province; there is information I need over there. By the way, Ninth Senior Sister, keep a close eye on Third Senior Sister this time and don't let her run around outside. I can't possibly watch over my senior sisters twenty-four hours a day."

Zhou Danzhuang understood Ye Fei's concerns. The Liu family of South China Province was practically the founding patriarch of commerce in that region; their status there was immensely lofty, and they were a renowned and powerful clan throughout the entire nation of Huaxia as well.

This time, the Liu family's good-for-nothing young master had taken a liking to Bai Yaoyao. To outsiders, this might seem like a blessing that could elevate one to the heavens, but only Bai Yaoyao herself knew that this playboy merely fancied her celebrity status.

Liu Xiaonan had known Bai Yaoyao since childhood. He had been a notorious tyrant back in school, and once he graduated, he began flirting wantonly with every woman in sight—a universally detested scoundrel. The only reason no one dared to move against him was because of his family's formidable influence.

This time, Ye Fei could be considered the very first. Therefore, Zhou Danzhuang shared the exact same worry as Ye Fei, terrified that they would target Bai Yaoyao first, especially since Bai Yaoyao was the soft persimmon, whereas they wouldn't dare push Ye Fei too far.

"Ah?
