“Your master? Who is he?”
Ye Feng frowned slightly as he looked at the middle-aged man with a yellow beak.
“My master’s name is Wang Batian. There were some misunderstandings at the final selection of armor masters before. My master has specifically set up a banquet today and hopes Mr. Ye will grace us with his presence!”
The middle-aged man with the yellow beak quickly explained to Ye Feng.
“Wang Batian?”
Ye Feng was quite surprised to hear the other party’s words.
Because from previous experiences, Wang Batian, the head of the Wang family, one of the four great families in Mech City, was an extremely arrogant person.
He didn’t even pay much attention to Shen Qing, the dean of the Secret Armor Institute, but now he was being so polite to himself?
What the heck?
“Mr. Ye, please!”
At this moment, the middle-aged man with the yellow beak made a gesture of invitation to Ye Feng.
After a moment of thought, Ye Feng nodded and agreed.
……………
More than half an hour later,
Ye Feng arrived at a magnificent villa complex,
“Little brother, you’re finally here!”
As soon as Ye Feng entered the hall of the central villa, a somewhat rough voice reached his ears.
Before the voice faded, a burly middle-aged man with several scars on his face and sharp eagle-like eyes appeared in Ye Feng’s sight. It was Wang Batian.
What surprised Ye Feng even more was Wang Batian’s address to him: Little brother?
Was he that familiar with him?
Last time at the final selection of armor masters, Wang Batian had tried his best to make things difficult for him and had dug a big pit for him…
“Come, come, little brother, don’t just stand there, sit!”
Seeing Ye Feng standing still, Wang Batian cheerfully beckoned him over.
“Uh……”
Under Wang Batian’s strangely enthusiastic greeting, Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao sat down at a large round table. The table was already filled with a large spread of fragrant food and several bottles of wine.
“Come, little brother, there were many misunderstandings at the final selection of armor masters. I’ll punish myself with three cups first to apologize to you!”
Saying that, Wang Batian poured a cup of wine for Ye Feng, then filled three cups for himself and drank them all in one go.
“Uh……”
Ye Feng looked bewildered, completely unaware of what Wang Batian was up to.
“Come, little brother, this dish is just made, eat it while it’s hot! This crucian carp soup is very delicious!”
“Little girl, this stewed beef is rich in collagen and is very good for beauty!”
As Wang Batian spoke, he scooped a small bowl of steaming fish soup for Ye Feng and also picked out some beef for Xiao Xiao.
Looking at Wang Batian, who was extremely enthusiastic, as if reuniting with old friends, Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao exchanged glances, seeing the confusion in each other’s eyes.
Seeing that neither Ye Feng nor Xiao Xiao had made a move to pick up their chopsticks, Wang Batian sighed, “Alas! Little brother, you still have too deep a misunderstanding of me!”
“The selection of armor masters is of great significance to the entire Mech City. As the patriarch of one of the four great families of Mech City, I have an undeniable responsibility to vet the armor masters.”
“At the last final selection of armor masters, Shen Qing and Shen Bai, those two old fellows, wanted to play the good cop, so the bad cop role fell to me!”
“This caused little brother to misunderstand me deeply, but I was considering the overall situation of Mech City!”
By the end of his speech, Wang Batian downed another cup, a look of melancholy and grievance on his face.
“This……”
Looking at Wang Batian’s sincere expression, Ye Feng was momentarily unsure if the other party was really acting…
“Could it be that the conflicts between Wang Batian, Shen Bai, Shen Qing, and others at the final selection of armor masters were all staged?”
“That shouldn’t be the case! At that time, I hadn’t yet shown my talent for the Spark, so there was no need to stage anything…”
Ye Feng analyzed silently in his heart.
“Clap clap!~”
At this moment, Wang Batian clapped his hands, and then two guards dragged two figures in.
“Master Ba, spare me, I know I was wrong!~”
One of the women, who was plump, disheveled, and whose skin was torn open by the whip, saw Wang Batian and immediately knelt down, begging for mercy.
“This voice…”
Hearing the woman’s words, Ye Feng frowned slightly, as he had heard this voice yesterday. It seemed to be the woman who had caused trouble for him at the milk tea shop and had been kicked away by him.
“Get lost!”
“Bang!~”
Wang Batian showed no mercy, kicked her away, and shouted coldly, “Lin Liming, oh Lin Liming, you knew that little brother Ye Feng already misunderstood me, and you still went to provoke him. Are you trying to put me in an unjust position?”
“Ye… Little brother Ye Feng?”
“Master Ba… I… I didn’t provoke any Ye Feng?”
Hearing Wang Batian’s words, Lin Liming felt even more wronged.
Yesterday, after she told Wang Batian about her encounter at the milk tea shop, she thought Wang Batian would stand up for her, but Wang Batian said nothing and beat her until her skin was torn open…
Now that she knew the strange reason for being beaten, Lin Liming immediately burst into tears of grievance…
“Crying! All you do is cry!”
“Crack!~”
Seeing this, Wang Batian whipped her again, causing Lin Liming to scream and writhe on the ground.
“Little brother, this blind Lin Liming is my concubine. She has caused our misunderstandings to deepen. Vent your anger!”
Saying that, Wang Batian handed the horsewhip, covered with hard bristles, to Ye Feng.
Looking at the miserable Lin Liming on the ground, Ye Feng frowned and did not take it.
At this moment, Lin Liming on the ground also reacted. She looked up and saw who Wang Batian was talking to, and her face immediately turned pale.
“Mr. Ye, I’m sorry, I’m sorry!”
“I was wrong, I shouldn’t have provoked you, I’m sorry!”
After recognizing Ye Feng, Lin Liming immediately kowtowed with loud thuds.
“Stop! Stop! Stop!”
Seeing this, Ye Feng quickly asked Lin Liming to stop.
After all, there was no deep hatred between them, and he had already kicked her away at the time… Besides, was Wang Batian really doing this to vent his anger for him?
“Little brother is magnanimous, hurry up and get lost!”
Wang Batian shouted sternly, giving Lin Liming another whip. Lin Liming no longer cared about the pain and scrambled away.
“Crack ~ crack ~”
“Ah!~ Ah~ Ah~!~”
After Lin Liming left, Wang Batian did not sit down to rest but held the horsewhip and beat the other person, who had just been dragged in by the guards, causing him to cry out in pain and beg for mercy.
It was a young man whose entire body was wrapped in bandages like a mummy.
“What the heck is this now?”
Ye Feng was very puzzled by this scene.
Because after being whipped, the bandages on the young man’s neck and face came loose, revealing his face.
“My goodness…”
Although the man’s face was still swollen, Ye Feng could recognize him as the person Wu Laogou had captured Xiao Xiao to sell, the one called Young Master Wang.
“Bang bang bang!~”
After Wang Batian whipped the bandaged young man, he sat back next to Ye Feng, his face full of anger.
“Alas~!”
Wang Batian drank another full cup of wine and sighed, “Little brother, my family has been unfortunate!”
