80: Dad! You Are So Strange
The Guard Captain stood still in shock.
Ye Jifeng’s face darkened, “What, are you scared out of your wits? Can’t even catch a person?”
The Guard Captain was in immense shock.
Still unable to snap out of it.
Ye Jifeng got angry, strode over, and pushed the Guard Captain aside, “Useless waste!”
He personally reached out to grab Jiang Fan.
The Guard Captain finally snapped out of it and, seeing Ye Jifeng’s rough actions, was scared out of his wits.
This was the Ninth Grade Spiritual Root Liu Qingxian had been desperately searching for!
If even a hair was harmed, Liu Qingxian wouldn’t spare Ye Jifeng, nor the Ye family.
He hurriedly grabbed Ye Jifeng’s arm, holding him back, and urgently cried, “City Lord, no, he is…”
Just as he was about to reveal it, he realized the identity of the Ninth Grade Spiritual Root was a top secret and must not be leaked.
Ye Jifeng was furious.
He slapped the Guard Captain so hard he flew to the ground, shouting, “What’s gotten into you today? Taken the wrong medicine?”

Blood appeared at the corner of the Guard Captain’s mouth.
But he didn’t care about the pain, hurriedly got up, ran to him, and whispered, “City Lord, he is the boy who took the Blood Bat Palace reward that day.”
Ye Jifeng frowned, “What Blood Bat Palace reward… wait!”
Hiss!
He suddenly took a sharp breath, shocked, “Are you saying he is that Nine…”
Realizing he almost exposed the secret, he quickly shut his mouth, lowered his voice and, with a slight tremor, asked, “Are you sure you didn’t mistake him for someone else?”
The Guard Captain said, “If I am wrong, City Lord, you can gouge out my eyes!”
It really was him!
Ye Jifeng was overjoyed!
This was the person Liu Qingxian had been looking for.
Before she left, she had instructed Ye Jifeng to find the Ninth Grade Spiritual Root at all costs.
If found, the Ye family would get a spot for an Inner Sect Disciple of the Green Cloud Sect!
When he looked at Jiang Fan again, there was no trace of his previous ferocity.
His rough hands rubbed together as he smiled, “Young Master Jiang, you are truly talented. I have long admired you. Today, seeing you in person, your reputation is really well deserved.”
The hall fell into sudden silence.
The Guard Captain’s eyes were wide open.
He had always thought that flattering was his strong suit.
But seeing the City Lord’s change of face, he realized he still had much to learn.
Ye Qingxue’s beautiful eyes also widened, her head full of questions.
Seeing her usually dignified and stern father suddenly flatter someone, she couldn’t help but murmur:
“Father, you feel so strange to me.”
Zhong Liangpeng and Zhong Qizhen’s father and son, their mocking expressions suddenly froze,
staring unblinkingly at the sudden shift in the atmosphere.
Chen Yuqiu and Liu Qimin exchanged a look, finding it absurd.
Why did the City Lord’s fierce attitude suddenly make such a dramatic turn?
Even Jiang Fan, the person involved, couldn’t help but touch his nose, wondering if the City Lord had some split personality.
“City Lord, what is this?”
Ye Jifeng didn’t feel awkward at all, clasping his hands, “It was all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!”
“Since you married the Chen family’s daughter as a concubine, then it’s nothing.”
As he spoke, he felt around his pockets.
After much difficulty, he finally pulled out a jade pendant he always carried.
He shoved it into Chen Silin’s hand, extremely polite, “Siling, uncle came in a rush and didn’t bring anything good.”
“Take this jade pendant as a gift from uncle.”
Ah?
Ye Qingxue opened her mouth wide.
