Yi Family Ancestral Temple, Fish Pavilion.

Yang Fei was staring directly and unblinkingly into Yi Liu's eyes.

Yi Liu's eyes were just as still, staring back at Yang Fei without moving a muscle.

After lunch, with nothing better to do, Yang Fei, utterly bored, initiated a staring contest with Yi Liu.

Whoever blinked first would lose.

Yi Liu looked into Yang Fei's eyes.

But he found that the lad's gaze had become so very... lascivious.

He seemed like a widow who had been abstinent for three years, his thirsty eyes filled with blatant teasing.

Although he did not blink, his gaze made Yi Liu flush with embarrassment and his heart stir uncontrollably.

The young master of the Yi Family wasn't limited to just one woman.

But Yi Liu had never seen such a lascivious gaze before.

It was like a raging wildfire, ready to completely consume him.

Yi Liu suspected his cheap brother-in-law had been a fox spirit in his past life.

The allure in his gaze surpassed that of any woman's.

Just as Yi Liu was about to lose his composure, Su Yinxue hurried over.

"Yang Fei, it's almost two o'clock, but the people from the Yi Family have not yet arrived at the Ancestral Temple."

"Not even the members from the allied families are in sight. Grandpa asked me to..."

"No, brother-in-law, you're too seductive, I can't take it anymore."

Yi Liu was blushing to his ears.

Unable to endure Yang Fei's "terrifying" gaze any longer, he jumped up.

Su Yinxue was startled, "Yi Liu, what are you talking about?"

Yi Liu's face was beet-red, and his forehead was covered in sweat, "I... "

Yang Fei laughed heartily and knocked Yi Liu on the forehead with a flick of his finger.

"You lost, young man. Your composure is truly lacking."

Yi Liu winced, not resisting a glance into Yang Fei's eyes.

But he saw that his gaze was now clear as water, as innocent as a child's.

He was dumbfounded, "Brother-in-law, how did you do that, truly godly..."

Su Yinxue didn't have time for their silly game.

She hurried over to Yang Fei's side.

"Grandpa said things don't look good outside the Ancestral Temple, and asked me to get you to check it out."

Yang Fei's expression immediately turned solemn.

Elder Yi, the Family Head, had faced countless trials in his lifetime.

Since he said the situation was not good, it meant something serious had happened outside the Ancestral Temple.

"Let's go up and take a look."

Having said that, Yang Fei turned and walked away.

Su Yinxue quickly followed, with Yi Liu hurrying behind them.

In front of the Ancestral Temple grew two or three ancient cypresses, their branches twisted and lush.

The Elder Yi, the Family Head, was sitting in a wicker chair.

He looked out from the temple, his eyes filled with a trace of sadness.

Yang Fei rushed to the old man's side.

Su Yinxue supported the old man's shoulder, and together they looked down the mountain.

Their elevated position gave them a good vantage point.

They could see that the front gateway of the Ancestral Temple was empty.

In the distant Maple Forest, however, there seemed to be many people lurking, their figures indistinct.

Yang Fei only took one glance and felt a surge of killing intent wash over him.

He couldn't help but be taken aback.

"Grandpa Yi, it seems your orders aren't very effective anymore," he said.

"Looking at this, it seems they intend to force their way through."

The old man sighed deeply.

"I'm old, and it seems no one wants to listen to what I say."

"Heh, look at these unfamiliar faces, they must be the ones the second brother brought over from Hei Province," he said with a cold laugh.

"Over the years, the second brother's influence has grown, and he no longer has any regard for me, his father."

"I knew he wouldn't be happy with Yinxue's succession."

"But I never imagined he would be this heartless."

Su Yinxue felt uneasy.

"Grandpa, why don't I give up the position of the Family Head to him, and let uncle take over."

Elder Yi, the Family Head, glared at her.

"Foolish, if Yi Weibing had the talent of a Family Head, why would I need to beseech you to take the position."

"This kid has been acting recklessly in Hei Province and colluding with some forces overseas, despite repeated warnings, to no avail."

"He has already begun to walk a path of evil, and if I were to hand over the Yi Family to him, it would surely turn to ash in his hands."

In his eyes, a deep hatred was visible.

"In business, conflicts and deceit are commonplace in the marketplace."

"But one must never violate national laws or sacrifice the interests of the nation and its people for short-term gains."

"Otherwise, sooner or later, there will be retribution."

The elder spoke with an air of righteousness.

Yang Fei, Su Yinxue, and Yi Liu all nodded their heads repeatedly.

Yang Fei had a thought and tentatively asked the old man.

"I just don't know what bad things Yi Weibing has done?"

The elder sighed.

"Specific details, I have yet to uncover."

"However, the two companies under his name, at a time when the Yi Family Clan's enterprise profit was declining, reported yearly financial statements with profits of up to three hundred percent."

"How could a normal business bring in such astonishing profit?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Fei understood.

When it comes to border business, he knew it better than anyone else.

Such high-profit margins, above three hundred percent, were definitely not from a legitimate business.

It could involve drugs, weapons, or even human trafficking.

"They're about to break in, Grandpa, what should we do?"

Yi Liu had been nervously watching the gate the whole time.

At that moment, he cried out in alarm, pointing towards the distance.

Outside the Ancestral Temple's gate, a group of people in black, agile and ferocious, surged toward the gate like a tide.

The elder sighed again.

"The Elders' Hall was left with countless injuries yesterday and is now practically defenseless."

"Master Yi has fled far away, and Afu is nowhere to be seen."

"Yang Fei, the battle today rests on you."

"No problem."

Yang Fei shed his jacket, rubbed his hands together in readiness, and ordered Yi Liu.

"You gather some ropes, we're going down to join their little game."

Yi Liu was already pale with fright, looking at Yang Fei with uncertainty.

"Brother-in-law, what do we need the ropes for?"

Yang Fei laughed heartily, "You just find the ropes, and you'll see when we go down."

"Heh heh, if we're playing, we're playing for thrills."

Yi Liu stared blankly at Yang Fei, not understanding.

The elder said placidly, "Yi Liu, follow Mr. Yang's instructions."

"The rise or fall of our Yi Family depends on this moment."

Yi Liu obediently nodded.

At this very moment, the newly repaired gate of the Ancestral Temple was kicked open.

A pack of menacing goons charged in.

Yang Fei turned back and nodded to Su Yinxue.

"Yinxue, you take the Elder Yi, the Family Head, away from the fray first, don't let him get scared, leave this place to me."

Before Su Yinxue could answer, the old man gestured with his hand.

"Mr. Yang, you underestimate me."

"If I can't even face this situation, how can I lead the Yi Family?"

His eyes looked down the mountain.

"Yi Weibing is determined to be reckless, when foes meet on a narrow path the brave one wins, everything rests on Mr. Yang."

Yang Fei acknowledged with a grunt and motioned Yi Liu to follow closely behind.

He dashed down like a tiger descending a mountain.

Su Yinxue had seen Yang Fei's skills before.

But the vast number of people on the other side still kept her on edge.

Elder Yi, however, remained calm and collected, with a look of absolute serenity in his eyes.

The wolf-like figures in black had already reached halfway up the mountain.

This group was uniformly dressed in black sport suits.

Some wielded Swing Sticks, others gripped Daggers, and in the eyes of each, there was a fierce intent to kill.

This bunch, the personal bodyguards of Yi Weibing, was known as the Blood Eagle.
