Chapter 56: With the Same Wind, the Roc Soars Up in a Day

Because they had become "neighbors," Ye Feng returned to his residence almost back-to-back with Jin Luyi and Chen Shiya.

Just as Ye Feng entered the doorway, he was happened to be spotted by Chen Shiya from the foot of the mountain.

Even though Ye Feng had disguised his appearance at the time and was quite far away, his back left a lasting impression on Chen Shiya.

At this moment, Ye Feng had returned to the Cloud Elegance Villa.

After a day of renovation and preparation, the interior and exterior of the villa had taken on a completely new look.

The living room was brightly lit, fully furnished with complete furniture and modern appliances. Even the butler and domestic staff were fully in place.

Compared to the desolate and barren state it was in when they arrived yesterday, it was like two entirely different worlds.

"Hmm." Ye Feng nodded in satisfaction. The Cui family had indeed put genuine effort into this.

However—Ye Feng still called the butler over and instructed them, "You won't need to come tomorrow."

"Yes, sir." The butler acknowledged the order without daring to ask any unnecessary questions, and then went back to his work.

They had all been sent by the Cui family with instructions to obey Ye Feng and Bai Weiwei in everything.

Now that Ye Feng was telling them to return, they could only comply without any further words.

"What? Are you unsatisfied with their service?" Bai Weiwei walked over and asked out of curiosity.

"They did a very good job," Ye Feng replied. "But I don't need outsiders around me."

Hearing this, Bai Weiwei instantly understood Ye Feng's concern.

The butler and servants were all sent by the Cui family. In essence, they were still people of the Cui family.

How could anyone tolerate another sleeping soundly beside their own bed?!

Even without specific instructions from the Cui family, these people would inevitably report everything happening here back to them in secret.

"Alright, then let them all return tomorrow," Bai Weiwei agreed.

Fortunately, the two of them had long been accustomed to a life of simplicity over the years. Even without servants to wait on them, it would not affect them at all.

"How did things go on your end today?" Ye Feng asked Bai Weiwei about their family's company.

"Everything went smoothly!" Bai Weiwei smiled and said. "Thanks to the help and facilitation of the Zhao family, the company has already gone through all the procedures and can open for business at any time."

In just a single day, Bai Weiwei had managed to settle all the matters concerning the restart of the company.

Such efficiency compelled even Ye Feng to sigh in admiration.

"You've worked hard," Ye Feng said.

"These are just minor details," Bai Weiwei said softly. "The real hard work is yet to come."

Although all beginnings are hard, by comparison, the future funding and operation of the new company would be the true challenges ahead.

Of course, if they merely wanted a small, comfortable, and self-sufficient life, they could easily manage and sustain the company.

However, both Ye Feng and Bai Weiwei harbored the ambition to replicate the former glory of the Bai family.

To achieve that, they had to climb higher and higher, facing difficulties and troubles that would flow endlessly like water.

"You just focus on the normal operations of the company," Ye Feng reassured her, telling her not to worry. "Leave all other troubles to me."

"How are the arrangements coming along for my meeting with the five major families?"

Bai Weiwei said, "I was just about to bring that up with you."

"The Su, Cui, Ji, Tan, and Chang families—the five major families that once depended on us—have all been duly notified."

"They have agreed and arranged for a meeting with us tomorrow at the Ji family's Fortune Building."

Ye Feng nodded. "Then let's go meet them!"

Among these five families, only the Cui family and the Su family were currently standing on his side.

"There's no such thing as a friendly meeting or a peaceful banquet," Bai Weiwei remarked. "Should we change the meeting location? Let us arrange it instead?"

Bai Weiwei could not find a particularly suitable venue, which is why she had intended to discuss with Ye Feng upon returning whether they should alter the meeting place.

After all, the Fortune Building was the territory of the Ji family.

Bai Weiwei worried that they might set an ambush there.

"Haha, there's no need to trouble ourselves," Ye Feng said, completely unconcerned. "Even if it's a mountain of swords and a sea of flames, I'm going to walk right through it."

"Otherwise, how could they ever truly submit to me?"

Compared to endless tactical skirmishes, Ye Feng preferred a quick and decisive resolution.

It would be best if these five major families brought out all their hidden cards tomorrow, allowing Ye Feng to break them one by one and thoroughly force their submission.

If anyone else had uttered such words, Bai Weiwei would have considered them overly arrogant, given that the five major families were currently thriving and possessed considerable influence.

However, having witnessed Ye Feng's terrifying strength last night, Bai Weiwei felt much less anxious.

"By the way, our company doesn't have an official name yet," Bai Weiwei suggested. "Since you will be the true mastermind and authority behind our Bai family from now on, you should decide the company's name."

The former Bai Group had already been deregistered and had even become a taboo rarely spoken of. Bai Weiwei had no desire to reuse the old company name.

"When the roc rises with the wind, it soars up to ninety thousand miles!" Ye Feng thought for a moment and said, "Let's call it the Feng Group!"

His second master had hoped that after leaving prison, he would become the wind that refuses to be defined.

Now, Ye Feng was going to be the wind that lifted and sustained the Bai family.

And in the future, this wind would surely sweep across the entire world!

Just as Ye Feng and Bai Weiwei were discussing company matters, the butler suddenly came to report that two young female neighbors were outside requesting an audience.

Ye Feng stood up to look and discovered that the people standing outside were none other than Jin Luyi and Chen Shiya.

"Strange... why did the two of them show up here?"

Not knowing their purpose, Ye Feng directly instructed the butler to turn them away.

Outside the villa, Jin Luyi and Chen Shiya found themselves facing a closed door.

Unwilling to give up, Chen Shiya continued to question the butler, "Excuse me, is the new master of this villa named Ye Kunlun?"

"No," the butler shook his head. Although the master's surname was also Ye, he had never even heard of the name Ye Kunlun.

"Sigh..." Chen Shiya let out a disappointed sigh. "It seems I mistook him for someone else."

"Hmm," Jin Luyi nodded as well. "According to my adoptive father, the new master of this place possesses extraordinary strength, not inferior to my adoptive father's."

"If the Mr. Ye you met really is the new master here, then he would be terrifying!"

"Not only is his martial arts prowess on par with my adoptive father, but his medical skills are also that incredible?"

"Such a perfect genius unmatched in both medicine and martial arts probably only exists in legends or movies!"

Chen Shiya had no choice but to accept reality; it had been a false alarm.

"Let's head back first," Jin Luyi supported her friend, and the two walked back down the mountain step by step.

At the same time, a sense of lingering regret rose in Jin Luyi's heart: her adoptive father had told her to take the opportunity to get acquainted with this young expert, yet their very first visit had resulted in them being shut out.

Jin Luyi glanced back at the villa halfway up the mountain, though she was not disheartened.

Since they lived so close to each other, there would be plenty of opportunities to meet in the future.

"I'd love to see what kind of extraordinary figure this mysterious neighbor living here truly is!"
