As he spoke, he placed his hands on Zhou Lingyu's shoulders, his touch roving towards sensitive areas.
Being adults, Zhou Lingyu understood the implication of his actions and words and immediately slapped his hands away.
"Impossible! Young Master Gu, I, Zhou Lingyu, am not that kind of person! I absolutely cannot do such a thing!" Zhou Lingyu stated with firm refusal.
Young Master Gu, having his hands slapped away, became displeased. "Is that so? If that's the case, then don't blame me for being impolite! From now on, I will kill one person every ten minutes until you agree!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Lingyu's expression changed drastically, and she instantly panicked.
However, Young Master Gu paid no mind and directly commanded, "Someone, start the timer!"
"Yes, Young Master Gu!" Tang Zhiyang immediately responded and took out his phone to start the timer.
Zhou Lingyu's face turned extremely grim, while the other members of the Zhou family were filled with terror.
Soon, ten minutes had passed.
"Young Master Gu, time's up. Who shall we start with?" Tang Zhiyang asked with schadenfreude.
Young Master Gu scanned the Zhou family's high-ranking members one by one.
Everyone he looked at trembled and shivered with extreme fear.
Finally, Young Master Gu's gaze settled on a middle-aged man standing at the back. "Let's start with him!"
"Yes!"
A subordinate standing nearby immediately stepped forward, a dagger appearing from nowhere in his hand. He walked towards the man.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man shouted urgently, "No, don't! I, I don't want to die yet! Lingyu, save, save me!"
Zhou Lingyu's face showed inner conflict. Just as the subordinate was about to act, Zhou Lingyu suddenly shouted, "Wait a moment?"
"What? Miss Zhou has thought it through? Do you want to join our sect, or do you want to accompany me to another room for a chat?" Young Master Gu said with a smile, looking at Zhou Lingyu's graceful figure.
Zhou Lingyu hesitated for a moment, seemingly making a significant decision, and was about to reply.
But before she could speak, another voice suddenly echoed from the doorway, "How about I accompany you for a chat?"
"Okay... Huh? Wait, who's speaking?"
Young Master Gu was initially pleased but realized something was wrong the next second, as the voice was a man's. What business would a man have going to another room with him? Was it a gay encounter?
However, upon hearing the voice, Zhou Lingyu felt a sense of relief and immense joy.
"Finally, they're here!"
She turned towards the doorway and saw two figures slowly walking in.
"Ye Feng!"
After confirming it was the person she expected, Zhou Lingyu excitedly shouted.
Indeed, the newcomers were Ye Feng and Senior Cang Long, who had rushed over from Sea God Company.
Seeing this, Young Master Gu became furious. "Who are you people? How did you get in? Where are Ah Xiong and Ah Hu?"
Ye Feng, seeing his angry demeanor, smiled. "We naturally walked in! As for the two you mentioned, they are already lying on the ground outside!"
"What? This is outrageous! Guards!"
With that, he waved his hand, and the subordinates in the room immediately rushed to block the doorway.
Ye Feng chuckled upon seeing this and didn't stop them.
After all, he had sensed the situation inside the room when he entered. There were quite a few cultivators in the room, including a Grandmaster realm expert, but he didn't take such people seriously at all.
"Lingyu, what exactly is going on?" Ye Feng asked as he approached Zhou Lingyu.
Zhou Lingyu immediately explained, "It's like this..."
It turned out that the Zhou family was holding a family meeting today when a group of cultivators forcibly broke in, injuring many of their security guards and staff. They even barged into the conference room and forced the Zhou family to pledge allegiance to them.
The moment Zhou Lingyu sensed something was wrong, she had called Ye Feng, which led to this scene.
"I see! Don't worry! With me here, there won't be any problems!" Ye Feng said confidently.
Young Master Gu heard this and immediately shouted, "Kid, who exactly are you?"
"Who am I? Didn't the two people next to you tell you?" Ye Feng said with a smile, looking at Tang Zhiyang and Zhao Yanxuan.
Young Master Gu quickly turned to look at them. Tang Zhiyang, standing beside him, hurriedly introduced, "Young Master Gu, this guy is the boss of Sea God Company, named Ye Feng!"
"What? This guy is Ye Feng? It's truly a case of 'beating a dead horse,' finding something you weren't looking for!" Young Master Gu stared at Ye Feng, scrutinizing him.
The next second, he burst into laughter. "Heh heh, kid, you're Ye Feng, right? My name is Gu Tianlang, the young master of the Heavenly Net Sect!"
"I'll give you a chance now. Pledge your Sea God Company and the Zhou family to our Heavenly Net Sect, otherwise..."
"Heh heh, otherwise what?"
Ye Feng maintained a faint smile, appearing unconcerned.
"Otherwise, you won't be leaving here alive today!" Gu Tianlang said coldly.
Ye Feng replied indifferently, "Is that so? I'm very curious where you get the confidence to say such things!"
Gu Tianlang sneered with disdain and mockery. "Heh heh, you're still so stubborn even when death is imminent! Guards, attack!"
As he finished speaking, Gu Tianlang waved his hand, and all his subordinates immediately rushed towards Ye Feng and the others.
But the next second, everyone present was stunned.
Ye Feng stood still, allowing those people to attack him. However, just as they were about to reach Ye Feng, Senior Cang Long, standing behind Ye Feng, made his move.
He raised his hand and gently pushed out, and a palm formed by a wave of energy appeared out of thin air.
The next second, all seven or eight people were sent flying, crashing into the tables, chairs, and walls of the conference room, looking utterly pathetic.
"What?"
Witnessing this scene, even Young Master Gu, who hailed from a hidden sect and was well-traveled, couldn't help but be greatly astonished. After all, among those people was a Grandmaster realm expert, who was now easily sent flying with just a palm strike.
"A bunch of ants, daring to attack my young master!" Senior Cang Long said coldly.
When they arrived, Ye Feng had instructed Senior Cang Long not to call him "Sea God Lord" outside, but simply "Young Master."
Gu Tianlang, seeing this and hearing Senior Cang Long's words, was instantly enraged.
The next second, he suddenly shouted, "Damn it, Uncle Chang, reveal yourself and attack!"
"Yes, Young Master!"
A voice responded, and a man in his forties or fifties suddenly appeared out of nowhere. He immediately exuded a powerful cultivation aura and fiercely struck out with a palm towards Senior Cang Long.
"Hmm? This aura, a Great Grandmaster expert?" Ye Feng exclaimed in surprise.
After all, he hadn't sensed the other party's presence at all before. It was likely that the other party's cultivation was too high for him to detect.
Only Senior Cang Long, seeing this, remained calm, as if he had known of the other party's existence all along. He raised his hand and also struck out with a palm.
Seeing Senior Cang Long's nonchalant demeanor, the man felt insulted and snorted, "Hmph, seeking death!"
However, the next second, the situation unfolded in a way that surprised everyone...
