Dragon King Palace: Urban Affluent Son-in-Law-Chapter 1181: Deeply Hidden

Led by Uncle Bai, this time Bai Touying and Baili Xiyue took Jiang Feng to a place not located at the Baili Family's classical old residence in the center of the Provincial City, but to another mountain manor in a resort area, also known as Baili Family's Mountain Manor.

As the leading family in the Provincial City, it's quite normal for the Baili Family to own numerous estates.

That old residence is usually a place for Baili Family Head, Baili Xi, to nurture his health. Of course, family meetings or celebrations of various festivals are also held there.

But for hosting distinguished guests, Baili Xi prefers to arrange them at Baili Family's Mountain Manor.

The two cars quickly arrived at the resort area, a perfect feng shui spot of the Provincial City surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing the sea, lush and green.

After driving for another half hour, they finally reached the foot of the manor.

From afar, amidst the greenery, one or two small buildings of quaint style emerge, with green bricks and white walls, clearly having a long history.

Following the winding mountain road, driving upwards, a lookout post appeared almost every few dozen meters.

The young people at these posts were all energetic, highly focused.

These are naturally the elite within the Baili Family, showcasing a spectacle far beyond that of the former Yan Family, Huangfu Family, and even surpassing the Dugu Family.

After ten or so minutes, the car stopped in front of a massive residence.

Just looking at the two huge pillars gave one a surreal feeling of being in an ancient royal mansion.

"Miss, I have to attend to other matters first. You and this… brother Jiang Feng go ahead!"

Upon getting out of the car, Bai Touying came over and instructed Baili Xiyue, then glanced at Jiang Feng before walking through the courtyard gate.

"What are you waiting for? Come with me to meet Grandpa!"

Baili Xiyue exclaimed teasingly, quickly grabbing Jiang Feng's arm and pulling him along.

Jiang Feng was inevitably feeling a bit awkward.

What kind of situation was this? To think that just this morning, he and Nangong Qingcheng were deeply affectionate like a couple, and now he was here to act as a shield.

It was fortunate that Nangong Qingcheng had such trust in him and Baili Xiyue, even suggested he accompany Baili Xiyue back!

However, since he was already here, Jiang Feng saw no reason to retreat, and could only muster up his courage to accompany Baili Xiyue inside.

At that moment, a young man in a tailored suit suddenly emerged.

The young man was handsome and striking, with a robust physique and a steady gait.

However, despite him hiding it well, Jiang Feng could easily tell that this man was exceptionally powerful, likely having reached the Peak Realm!

Such a realm far surpassed Bai Touying just earlier!

That the Baili Family had a young man in the Peak Realm was far superior to the formerly proclaimed top expert Luu Fengxian!

This demonstrated that the so-called top young martial artist Luu Fengxian and second martial artist Jing Wuming were merely surface-level; many more wanted to remain unnoticed!

"Yue'er, you finally returned! Grandpa has been waiting for you! If you don't go soon, he's going to be upset!"

The young man saw Baili Xiyue and warmly smiled, showing genuine affection and care towards her. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Yet Jiang Feng also perceived that this person's eyes harbored a deeper meaning towards Baili Xiyue, albeit well-hidden, difficult for an average person to detect.

Could this be the man surnamed Lin that Baili Xiyue rejected?

But it seemed improbable, for Baili Xiyue likely hadn't met that person, whereas this individual was familiar with her, their relationship quite intricate!

"Alright, Brother Yaokun, we were just heading in!"

Baili Xiyue responded without any reservation, openly holding Jiang Feng's arm and laughing.

"We?!"

The young man "Brother Yaokun" slightly furrowed his brows, then eyed Jiang Feng incredulously.

Maintaining his composure, he smiled and asked, "This brother seems unfamiliar. Who might he be?"

"Oh, he's my partner!" Baili Xiyue replied without waiting for Jiang Feng to speak, holding him even closer!

"Partner?" Yaokun was startled upon hearing this, his expression abruptly changing.

Though well-versed in worldly affairs, this unexpected "designation" caught him off guard!

He was utterly flabbergasted!

What was happening here? Today was meant to be a matchmaking arranged by the Old Master himself, and yet, here she was bringing a stranger home, calling him her "partner".

In his heart, Baili Xiyue was akin to a princess—a cherished existence—how could she fancy this unknown youth?

Moreover, seeing Baili Xiyue's intimate demeanor with Jiang Feng seemed utterly genuine, not an act, which made his face grimace!

"Yue'er, you aren't joking, are you? On an occasion like today, you actually…?" Yaokun smiled wryly.

"Not joking! Alright, Brother Yaokun, I won't hold you up any longer. I'm taking him to see Grandpa! As for that Lin fellow, please help me deal with him. I really don't want to meet him!"

Baili Xiyue said this, flashed an enchanting smile, and happily took Jiang Feng's arm, stepping through the main gate.

Jiang Feng's peripheral vision caught the moment when they passed each other, noticing Yaokun's gaze full of hostility towards him!

Indeed, as soon as they stepped inside, Yaokun's handsome face twisted in fury!

"Bang!"

He punched the adjacent stone pillar hard!

Although he controlled his strength to the fullest extent, the impact still caused the column to tremble, spreading dust around, even creating a shallow dent on the marble surface.

"Baili Xiyue, you laugh now, but you'll be mine eventually, no one can take you away!!"

Shi Yaokun declared with burning eyes, suppressing his rage!

"And you, Baili Xi, old fool! You'd rather betroth Yue'er to a playboy than to me; you're bringing this upon yourself!"

"Your Baili Family's legacy will ultimately be seized by me! I, Shi Yaokun, am destined to be the leader of the Provincial City; I'll change the history of the Provincial City completely!!"

...

Meanwhile—

After stepping into the courtyard, Jiang Feng finally asked Baili Xiyue, "Who was that Yaokun just now?"

"Oh, he's my grandpa's adopted grandson."

Baili Xiyue casually responded.

"Adopted grandson?"

"Yes! Brother Yaokun was an orphan, wandering the streets when he was young, and grandpa took him in as his adopted grandson."

Baili Xiyue naturally said, "He's now considered part of our family, just with the surname Shi, not Baili."

Jiang Feng squinted his eyes, finally understanding the underlying issue!

"Why have I never heard of this person, nor have you mentioned him?" He purposely asked!
