Le Lingfeng continued, "You thought that just having a lightning spiritual root would allow you to defeat me? I tell you, that is wishful thinking."
Zheng Wei chuckled lightly, "Wordy."
After speaking, without waiting for Le Lingfeng to say anything more, he quickly charged towards Le Lingfeng.
The two were soon locked in combat, trading blows.
For some unknown reason, neither of them used their spiritual power, relying solely on physical prowess.
Shen Xiaoyan watched the scene with a faint smile.
If it was purely about the toughness of their physical bodies, she had no worries.
After all, Zheng Wei had not only undergone bone cleansing and marrow washing, but also a baptism of lightning.
Indeed, after about half an hour, Le Lingfeng began to fall into a disadvantage.
Fortunately for Le Lingfeng, continuing to fight would only lead to further embarrassment, so he swiftly retreated more than ten meters, declaring the battle over.
Zheng Wei watched Le Lingfeng intently, secretly feeling fortunate.
Although his body was significantly stronger than Le Lingfeng's, his combat experience was clearly inferior to Le Lingfeng's.
If Le Lingfeng hadn't ended the fight early to avoid losing face, he would have undoubtedly been defeated.
Even so, Le Lingfeng had gained no advantage whatsoever.
Wu Yihao had been watching the entire battle, and Zheng Wei's performance surprised and delighted him.
Although he had always suspected that Shen Xiaoyan and the others were not ordinary people, he hadn't expected that not only Shen Xiaoyan's wood spiritual root was exceptional, but Zheng Wei also possessed the rare lightning spiritual root.
What's more, he could actually spar with Le Lingfeng for half an hour.
Among the younger generation in Yingcheng, this could be considered unprecedented.
After these events, Wu Yihao became even more convinced that Shen Xiaoyan and the others must have a powerful backing, otherwise, how could they possess such treasures and such strength?
With this realization, Wu Yihao stepped forward and said loudly, "Brother Le, a spar with the younger generation is one thing, but if you were to get serious, it would truly be a laughing matter. This is a matter among the juniors; it would be best to let them handle it themselves, don't you agree?"
Le Lingfeng knew that Wu Yihao was giving him an out.
But this was his daughter, how could he stand by and watch her kneel to someone else?
Wu Yihao, understanding how much Le Lingfeng doted on Le Meijun, then looked at Shen Xiaoyan and said, "Girl, it's not that I'm speaking for others, but truly, this young lady Le is a woman. If she were to kneel today, how could she ever face anyone again? Why don't you also yield a step and have her apologize and let it go? Of course, the second condition still needs to be fulfilled as agreed. What do you think?"
Shen Xiaoyan also knew that it would be impossible to make Le Meijun kneel today.
Everything that had happened so far had shown everyone that they were not to be trifled with, and even the Le family couldn't expect to gain any advantage from them.
Now that their objective had been achieved, whether Le Meijun knelt or not had become unimportant.
"Since the Fort Master has spoken, let us do as the Fort Master says."
After speaking, Shen Xiaoyan looked towards Le Meijun, who was sitting there with her lips tightly pressed together.
Le Meijun also understood the current situation, so she stood up and smiled gently at Shen Xiaoyan, "Meijun was presumptuous today. I hope Miss Shen will be magnanimous."
Le Meijun's thoughts stirred. She only referred to Shen Xiaoyan as Miss Shen, not Madam Zheng, which indicated that she still harbored designs on Zheng Wei.
However, Shen Xiaoyan was unconcerned. As long as she dared to make a move, she would make sure she learned her lesson again.
After the apology, Le Lingfeng promptly took Le Meijun and left.
Having already lost so much face today, staying would only invite further ridicule.
As Le Lingfeng and his group quickly departed, the onlookers in the courtyard finally began to murmur amongst themselves.
Naturally, there were all sorts of comments.
However, the only thing they all agreed on was that they dared not speak about it in front of the Le family.
The reason was simple: fear of retaliation from the Le family.
After all, the Le family's reneging on their word was deeply etched in their minds.
"The next person to purchase immortal vegetables, please come up with your number plate."
As Zheng Wei's voice fell, the next person who was supposed to purchase immortal vegetables indeed stood up and walked towards the pavilion.
He had thought that after what had just happened, there would be no more purchases today.
But since they could still buy, it was a good thing, and he naturally felt happy.
Shen Xiaoyan sat down to continue selling immortal vegetables, while Zheng Wei walked towards Wu Yihao.
Wu Yihao looked at the man approaching him. Although his clothes were still stained with some dust, it did not detract from his inherent charisma.
Every movement was captivating.
It was no wonder that even the arrogant Le Meijun had taken a liking to him.
"Greetings, Fort Master. It has been many days since we last met, and your cultivation seems to have improved significantly," Zheng Wei said with a smile.
Wu Yihao heard this and laughed heartily, but he was inwardly astonished.
This Zheng Wei could actually see that his cultivation had improved.
Could it be that Zheng Wei's own cultivation was even higher than his?
As soon as this thought surfaced, he instantly dismissed it.
How old was Zheng Wei this year? If his cultivation were truly higher than his, what kind of genius would that be?
Such a genius, why would he come to such a remote city to sell immortal vegetables?
Since it was impossible for him to be higher than his cultivation, how did Zheng Wei know that his cultivation had improved?
Unable to figure this out, Wu Yihao decided to stop thinking about it.
Regardless of how Zheng Wei knew, he was determined to befriend Zheng Wei and his group.
He was not like the short-sighted Le Lingfeng, who thought they were merely vegetable sellers because they were selling vegetables now.
Let alone the saying that one shouldn't underestimate a young person's potential, there were also those who always sent their disciples out to undergo trials. Zheng Wei and his group were all people not to be offended.
"I, as the Fort Master, also bear some responsibility for today's events. However, I can guarantee that such a situation will absolutely not happen again in the future."
Hearing Wu Yihao's assurance, Zheng Wei was inwardly impressed.
Indeed, he was worthy of being a Fort Master; this single gesture was incomparable to ordinary people.
"You jest, Fort Master. This has nothing to do with you, but with your words, I believe our Four Seas House will be even more peaceful from now on."
Zheng Wei's words meant that he had accepted Wu Yihao's good intentions.
The distance between the two parties instantly narrowed, which made Wu Yihao feel very pleased.
After a few more pleasantries, Wu Yihao prepared to take his leave.
He had not forgotten that Zheng Wei had fought with Le Lingfeng earlier. Although there were no visible injuries on the surface, it was still uncertain what the true condition was.
Therefore, he should leave as soon as possible and allow Zheng Wei to recover.
However, there was still one important matter to attend to before he left.
Rubbing the immortal crystal in his hand, Wu Yihao felt a great deal of hesitation.
This was truly a rare and valuable item.
Today, he had not only had the good fortune to see it, but also to hold it and examine it for a long time.
Unfortunately, this was ultimately not his own possession.
He believed that even if he didn't mention the immortal crystal now and left, Zheng Wei and the others wouldn't say anything.
But in that case, the relationship between the two parties would almost become antagonistic.
If he didn't want to lose a lot for a little, he had to bear the pain.
Sighing inwardly, Wu Yihao extended his hand, offering the immortal crystal to Zheng Wei, and said, "Madam Zheng was in a hurry to attend to other matters just now and forgot to retrieve the immortal crystal from me. I shall give this immortal crystal to you."
Zheng Wei looked at the palm of Wu Yihao's hand and indeed saw an immortal crystal lying quietly there.
The immortal crystal was originally transparent, but now, under the sunlight, it emitted a radiant glow.
Raising his gaze, Zheng Wei looked at Wu Yihao's face, "Does the Fort Master not understand Xiaoyan's intentions?"
