Chapter 50 Young Master Xu's Conspiracy

After the battle with the Cyclops, Ye Feng received a reward of two thousand purple gold coins from the person in charge of the Bei family's arena. After receiving the reward, Ye Feng left. He originally wanted to thank Nader, but he couldn't find Nader anywhere.

After slightly altering his attire and concealing his appearance, Ye Feng went to collect his prize from the illegal gambling. Having finished all this, Ye Feng returned to his residence satisfied.

"Miss, Nader has arrived," said the former Bei family subordinate outside the door.

"Let him in." That familiar, heavenly voice came from inside.

"Miss, I was wrong, I didn't know, I really didn't know that kid was betting on the outside." After entering, Nader quickly knelt on the ground and begged for forgiveness.

On the way here, Nader inquired about the situation from his subordinate and got a general idea of ​​what was going on. He guessed that he had been called here because Ye Feng, whom he had brought along, was secretly gambling outside. Such a situation was definitely not allowed, and Nader, who brought Ye Feng, was bound to suffer.

"Get up, tell me, what's the background of this Ye Feng?" The woman didn't mention gambling, but instead inquired about Ye Feng.

“I don’t know. I only just met him. There was a problem with the red-skinned wild boars I was escorting before, and Ye Feng came to my rescue. That’s why I agreed to let him come to the duel.” The woman didn’t mention that Nader didn’t think this matter would be so easily dismissed. “I really didn’t know he would do this. If I had known, I would never have let this guy in.”

After giving his explanation, Nader remained kneeling on the ground, waiting for the woman in front of him to deliver her final verdict.

"Hmph, I'll let you off this time since you don't know, but there's one condition." The woman said with a sly smile, "Go and arrange for that guy named Ye Feng to have another match, this time with a demonic soul beast as his opponent."

"Miss, this... this Demon Soul Beast is a real magical beast! Even a Spiritual Warrior is no match for it. Isn't this going too far?" Nader said in a panic. Although Ye Feng had done something he shouldn't have, he had saved his life after all. Nader was unwilling for Ye Feng to fight such a dangerous magical beast, as it would surely be a fatal mistake.

“I don’t need you to teach me how to do things.” The woman seemed a little angry at Nader’s resistance. “Nader, you should understand what mistake you made. You’d better behave yourself and do this properly, otherwise not only you, but your family will also be implicated.”

“However, I do have principles. Tell Ye Feng that he can earn 20,000 purple gold coins for each fight. Isn’t he short of money? I want him to come back.”

"Yes." After hearing the woman finish speaking, Nader knew that the matter was beyond repair. The authority of the Bei family's young lady was not something that a nobody like him could shake.

"Go down and get things done." After dismissing Nader, the woman took out Ye Feng's file again to examine it. In reality, the file contained very little information. Ye Feng had only been in Star Moon City for a short time, so there was no specific information about him.

"Don't disappoint me," the woman murmured, seemingly thinking of Ye Feng's performance in the arena, a smile unconsciously playing on her lips.

Not long after Ye Feng returned to his residence, Nader came to his door.

Although Ye Feng's gambling had caused Nader a lot of trouble, Nader was not there to confront him, since the fate of the family was still in Ye Feng's hands.

"Is that how it is, Nader? It seems I've caused you trouble." After hearing Nader's explanation, Ye Feng knew that the illegal gambling had been completely exposed.

"Nader, don't worry. Since it was caused by me, I'll handle it," Ye Feng said to Nader. "You've seen my strength, so there's nothing to worry about."

"Well, even so, the Demon Soul Beast is a real demon beast, so we still have to be worried." Nader originally didn't want Ye Feng to take any risks, but thinking about the safety of his family, he didn't say anything to stop Ye Feng from continuing to participate.

"That's 20,000 purple gold coins, how could I refuse?" Ye Feng said confidently. Unexpectedly, Ye Feng agreed so easily. Nader had thought it would be troublesome. After Ye Feng agreed, Nader took his leave, and the gladiatorial match was rescheduled for two days later.

Ye Feng agreed so readily because it was his own actions that caused Nader's trouble. Ye Feng was a man of his word and dared to take responsibility. Besides, although the Demon Soul Beast was terrifying, it had only just entered the Spiritual Realm, so Ye Feng was not afraid.

"Have you heard? Someone wants to fight the Demon Soul Beast, the kid who killed the Cyclops yesterday."

"Wow, when did such a talented kid appear?"

"Hehe, you must regret not going yesterday, right? You're the only one who didn't come. We can't miss this duel with the Demon Soul Beast."

News of Ye Feng's impending duel with the Demon Soul Beast spread quickly, and the Bei family capitalized on this, creating a frenzy of publicity to attract attention. Lately, this major event has become a staple of conversations after meals.

Of course, Xu Shao from the Xu family was among those who knew about it. At this moment, Xu Shao was listening to a report about Ye Feng's gladiator duel.

"Kid, my dad didn't want me to make a move, and I was just worried I wouldn't have a chance. I didn't expect you to come here to die so soon, so don't blame me then," Xu Shao said with a sinister smile.

Two days passed quickly, and during this time, the news surrounding Ye Feng's duel with the Demon Soul Beast became the hottest topic in Star Moon City, with many people waiting for the duel.

Two days later, at dusk, Ye Feng arrived at the arena and waited in the same spot for his turn. Ye Feng's duel was the highlight of the evening, and naturally, it was scheduled as the final act. At this moment, Ye Feng was watching the duel unfold with great interest.

In a secluded corner of the arena, Xu Shao, his two subordinates, and a member of the Bei family were talking about something.

Suddenly, one of Xu Shao's men kicked the Bei family member in the stomach, yelling, "Li Cheng, you dare disobey our Young Master Xu's orders?"

Li Cheng, who had been kicked to the ground, got up and glared at Xu Shao with hatred, but ultimately did not make a move. "Xu Shao, you know the rules of the Bei family. If I do this, I will die a terrible death." It was clear that Li Cheng refused Xu Shao's request.

"Damn it, you want to get beaten up again?" Hearing Li Cheng's refusal, the two henchmen prepared to step forward and continue the attack.

"Hey, this is the Bei family, we need to follow the rules." Xu Shao stopped his two subordinates who were about to make a move, and turned to Li Cheng and said, "Li Cheng, I hope you can do this well for me. I don't want anything else, I just want that kid Ye Feng dead. As long as you make the Demon Soul Beast go berserk during the competition and kill this kid, I think it won't be a problem."

Although Xu Bo had always wanted to take action against Ye Feng, he was warned by his father not to, so he never had the opportunity to do so. Now that he had a chance to quietly kill Ye Feng without having to do it himself, Xu Bo naturally did not want to let it go.

As long as he secretly caused the demonic beast to go berserk during the battle, and then Ye Feng died unexpectedly during the battle, no one would suspect him. Xu Bo felt that his plan was simply too perfect.

“Li Cheng, do you think no one knows that you were the one who caused the danger when Nader was escorting the red-skinned wild boar last time?” Seeing that Li Cheng still didn’t want to do it, Xu Bo had no choice but to threaten him again, “As long as I expose this matter, you will die anyway. Now do it for me, and I guarantee you will get better treatment with me than you did with the Bei family. Think it over.”

After using threats and inducements, Xu Bo said nothing more, left a bottle of medicine, and departed. Xu Bo knew he had achieved his goal; he was certain Li Cheng would obey. Indeed, Xu Bo enjoyed the feeling of controlling others.
