Gong Zhenren slowly walked up to Yang Fei.

His gaze was as clear as water, observing Yang Fei mildly.

Yang Fei looked back at Gong Zhenren in a relaxed manner, his eyes neither provocatively challenging nor submitting in fear.

After a long while, Gong Zhenren sighed.

"The Martial God Bloodline truly is extraordinary. I've lost," he conceded.

He turned around and gave Yang Yurong a formal bow, his tone indifferent.

"Madam, I am unable to manage this affair. My apologies!"

Yang Yurong's head buzzed.

She nearly thought she had heard wrong.

This Gong Zhenren before her eyes had protected the Liang Family for twenty years.

His methods were as unfathomable as Ghosts and Gods.

No matter the strength of the enemy or the nature of the crisis, as long as Gong Zhenren made a move, it would be resolved.

But this time, before even making a move, Gong Zhenren had admitted defeat.

This was an unprecedented event in more than twenty years.

Yang Yurong looked at Gong Zhenren in disbelief. "True Man, what do you mean by this..."

Gong Zhenren didn't respond to her question, continuing to look mildly at Yang Fei.

"Yang Fei, you are the sole successor of the 'Yan Ru Scripture', descendent of the Martial God. All Martial Artists in the world hold you in high regard."

"I was only able to achieve Core Formation and Divine Communication thanks to the guidance of the Martial God."

"Now, I cannot disregard morality and raise my hand against you. However, I must ask a favor of you."

Yang Fei was taken aback. "True Man, you know me?"

Gong Zhenren nodded, filled with emotion.

"I was also among the strong at Yinxue Tower those years. How could I not recognize you? How is your master, General Hu Fangguo doing?"

Yang Fei was confused and said, "My master is named Shou Jingwu. Who is Hu Fangguo?"

Gong Zhenren nodded and sighed.

"It seems you haven't regained your memory."

"Let's talk about these matters later. Right now, I only wish to ask you for that favor."

Yang Fei frowned. "Do you want to take Liang Jiayi back with you?"

Gong Zhenren nodded. "The daughter of the Liang Family should naturally be disciplined by her own parents."

"Both you and I are outsiders; it isn't quite appropriate for us to interfere forcibly in the Liang family's affairs."

Upon hearing this, Liang Jiayi immediately became anxious.

"Grandpa Gong, I won't go back. I want to stay in Jiuan County; I have many things I need to do."

Yang Fei laughed coldly.

"Did you hear that, True Man? Even a common man must not be deprived of his will."

"Although Jiayi is the daughter of the Liang Family, she is an adult, and she has the right to choose her own way of life."

Gong Zhenren was left speechless.

He turned his head, looking at Yang Yurong with difficulty.

"Madam, shall we just go back then?"

"Children and grandchildren have their own fortune; why must you force your control upon them?"

Yang Yurong's face darkened, as though it was about to drip water, but she remained silent.

Gong Zhenren glanced at Yang Fei, saying leisurely.

"I can assure you, this Mr. Yang Fei is certainly not the kind of person the madam imagines."

Yang Yurong's heart stirred. She detected a slight warning in Gong Zhenren's eyes.

It seemed that the careless man before her was not just any ordinary person.

In fact, Yang Fei's strength and fierceness had already been witnessed by Yang Yurong herself.

With Gong Zhenren not making a move, no one else could contend with Yang Fei.

For a moment, Yang Yurong felt utterly dejected and powerless.

She glared fiercely at Liang Jiayi.

"Liang Jiayi, have you grown so bold as to not listen to me anymore?"

"If that's the case, then you may continue your descent into depravity; I won't bother with you anymore."

Liang Jiayi's eyes reddened.

"Mom, don't say that; you will always be my mother."

"But I've grown up, and I have my own dreams and way of life."

```

"Great Desert Ancient Town is my brother's second hometown, and his biggest wish before he died was to make the people of Great Desert Ancient Town prosper,"

"Brother wanted to build this place into a rich and civilized new city."

"Now that I'm carrying on his legacy, what's wrong with that?"

When Liang Jialong was mentioned, Yang Yurong's eyes suddenly turned red, and her voice became hoarse.

"Your brother just wouldn't listen to me, he had to join the military and then..."

She fiercely tried to control her tears, turning her body away.

"Now, you don't listen to me either. Do you want to anger me to death, huh?"

Ever the authoritative Yang Yurong, even when crying, refused to let the crowd see her tears.

But her voice cracked, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

Yang Fei sighed, stepped forward, and bowed deeply to Yang Yurong.

"Aunt, please accept my condolences,"

Stubbornly, Yang Yurong turned away, ignoring Yang Fei.

Liang Jiayi limped over, helped her mother into the Rolls-Royce, and then closed the car door.

Inside the car, Yang Yurong could no longer hold back, and tears streamed down her face.

Liang Jiayi wiped her tears for her.

Yang Yurong had a heart of ice, but she just couldn't harden it against Liang Jiayi.

While sobbing, she lectured Liang Jiayi.

"Your brother sacrificed himself, and I can understand that you want to build Great Desert Ancient Town,"

"But what about that man? What's the deal with him?"

She pointed out of the car window at Yang Fei, still indignant.

"You're the sole heir of the Liang family. How could you associate with this kind of man and tarnish your own reputation?"

Liang Jiayi smiled, her long eyelashes dotted with sparkling tears.

"Mom, you've been deceived by him; this guy is my brother's comrade-in-arms, a soldier."

"What, he's your brother's comrade? A Major too?"

Yang Yurong was startled and looked at Liang Jiayi suspiciously.

To Yang Yurong's knowledge, Liang Jialong's secret unit had a very high level, and the ranks were almost always Major and above.

Liang Jiayi rolled her eyes at Yang Yurong.

"Mom, can you stop being so snobbish?"

"Yang Fei is my brother's superior, his rank is Colonel."

Upon hearing Liang Jiayi's words, Yang Yurong's eyes widened suddenly.

"What, the Special Forces' leader, a Colonel?"

Yang Yurong exerted all her might to control herself, managing to keep her volume down, yet her voice became shrill.

A Colonel with actual power, who could easily rise to the rank of General in the future.

Even with the Liang family's powerful background,

if a family member lacks ability, in times of peace, it's unlikely to have a General among them.

Yang Yurong was completely stunned.

Her breathing quickened, and her eyes fiercely fixed on Liang Jiayi.

"You've hidden this so well from your mother; have you found out about this Colonel's family background?"

Yang Fei was only twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old.

Given Yang Yurong's experience, such a young Colonel must come from an extremely powerful family background.

Liang Jiayi looked at Yang Yurong amusedly.

"Mom, you can't change your ways, always so concerned about social status."

"After Brother Yang was injured, he lost his memory, and I don't know about his family background."

Yang Yurong's attention was completely captured by Yang Fei.

Upon hearing Liang Jiayi's words, she immediately became anxious.

"You silly girl, why don't you ask about his family background?"

Liang Jiayi reproachfully glanced at Yang Yurong.

"Brother Yang and I are just ordinary friends, how could I brazenly inquire so deeply?"

"Besides, he lost his memory and doesn't even know his own family circumstances."

Yang Yurong glared at Liang Jiayi.

"Ordinary friends? Your cousin saw with his own eyes that you both went to a hotel to get a room."

"And what about what happened last night?"
