Chapter 515: Just a Grandmaster Peak?

~7 min read 1,308 words

Xu Tong, one of the Heavenly Pride that the Xu Family of this generation has focused their martial resources on cultivating.

She once trained for ten years at Kyoto Hongwu Hall, studying under a Heavenly Person Expert of Hongwu Hall, and while still young had already entered the Master Realm.

She even initially obtained qualification for the Si Tian appraisal, but ultimately lost narrowly and was not selected.

Nevertheless, she is already a rare expert of this generation of the Xu Family.

Moreover, she is meticulous and conducts herself steadily.

Having her stay by Jiang Yan's side also puts Xu Yansong at ease.

Xu Tong just got off the car and briskly walked up to Xu Yansong, unable to hide her curiosity and asked.

"Uncle, what on earth is going on? When did Xiao Yan get a boyfriend, and why didn't I know?"

Xu Tong and Jiang Yan are close in age, have been best sisters since childhood, grew up together, and share everything.

Jiang Yan knows better than anyone whether she has a boyfriend.

So she is also surprised—when did my little cousin get a boyfriend!

Xu Yansong let out a long sigh, the fatigue on his face deepening.

"What's going on Inside? When you see Yan Yan, ask her yourself… I have only one request of you: no matter what, protect her!"

Xu Yansong's tone was very serious, even with a hint of pleading.

"Xiao Tong, Yan Yan is counting on you."

With those words, Xu Tong looked toward Su Family Villa.

The aura of Master Peak instantly burst from her body, like an invisible storm, making the surrounding leaves rustle.

"Uncle, rest assured, Xiao Yan's safety is in my hands!"

Her voice was firm.

Xu Yansong looked at his niece, his face full of satisfaction.

The niece's strength, across the entire Jiangnan young generation, is top‑tier. Master Peak, just one step away from the Heavenly Human Realm, such cultivation is a rarity in Jiangnan Province.

Even Jiang Feng has some skill, but likely not a match for the niece!

Thinking this, Xu Yansong felt considerably more at ease.

Then, he said lightly.

"Then you go see Yan Yan first; I still have some state affairs here, so I'll depart now."

After speaking, he turned and walked toward the Provincial Chief Official Car parked in the alley.

She watched Xu Yansong board the Provincial Chief Official Car and leave; Xu Tong's gaze full of anger, she turned and strode toward Su Family Villa.

Reaching the door, she didn't ring the bell, but began pounding the door with a clang!

Her fist struck the iron door, producing a huge sound that carried far in the silent night.

"Open the door! Open the door!"

Xu Tong's voice was loud, with a hint of anger.

Inside, Ma Jian and Jiang Feng instantly heard the commotion.

Ma Jian was just about to stand up from the sofa to open the door when Jiang Feng was startled.

His perception had already been released; the aura of the person outside was reflected in his Brain with Clarity.

Master Peak.

And it carried strong hostility, murderous aura…

Jiang Feng's eyebrows twitched slightly.

Just a Grandmaster, how dare they come?

He wasn't afraid, just found it odd.

Jiang Feng told Ma Jian to hide aside, stood up himself, and alone went to open the door.

When the door opened, a woman in a black jacket stood in the doorway.

The woman was about thirty, tall, short‑haired, with regular features and sharp eyes.

Her skin was a healthy wheat color, clearly from years of outdoor training.

Her face was full of anger, her eyes seemed ready to spit fire.

Seeing Jiang Feng, Xu Tong shouted loudly, her voice booming.

"Where is my sister? What did you do to my sister?"

Her finger pointed at Jiang Feng, trembling, her chest heaving violently, clearly very angry.

Jiang Feng was momentarily stunned.

Sister?

What sister?

He opened his mouth, about to speak.

At that moment, a voice came from behind.

Ma Jian stuck his head out from behind Jiang Feng, saw the woman at the door, and his face showed surprise.

"Sister Xu Tong, why is it you?"

Ma Jian's voice carried a hint of surprise and a hint of awkwardness.

Seeing Ma Jian, Xu Tong was also startled.

"Ma Jian? Why are you here?"

Her eyebrows furrowed, the anger in her eyes eased a bit, but she remained vigilant.

Ma Jian hurriedly stepped out from behind the door, stood beside Jiang Feng, and explained.

"Sister Xu Tong, this is my Jiang Ge's home. Jiang Yan is safe here; you don't need to be so nervous."

Xu Tong glanced at Ma Jian, then at Jiang Feng, her gaze full of scrutiny.

"Jiang Ge? Is that the Jiang Ge you mentioned last time?"

Ma Jian nodded, chuckling, "Hehe," he said.

"Yes, that's my Jiang Ge. I mentioned him last time; even the Jiangnan Wang has to be very polite when he meets him."

Ma Jian's tone carried a hint of bragging, then he addressed Jiang Feng.

"Jiang Ge, this is Xu Tong of the Xu Family, one of our own!"

"Who says they're one of you!"

Xu Tong retorted immediately, but still examined Jiang Feng seriously.

This guy looks to be in his twenties, his demeanor nothing special—just an ordinary person.

But Ma Jian says even the Jiangnan Wang has to be very polite when he sees him?

"Who is the Jiangnan Wang?"

He is the underground emperor of the whole Jiangnan Province, wielding immense power; even her uncle Xu Yansong has to give him some face.

"This young man can make the Jiangnan Wang be so polite?"

Xu Tong felt a bit skeptical, but she also knew that Ma Jian, though always joking, never tells a lie.

Xu Tong took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, looked at Jiang Feng, and said coldly,

"I don't care who you are; my sister is with you, and I want to see her."

Jiang Feng looked at her, his expression calm, and said lightly,

"She's upstairs; you can go up and find her."

Xu Tong hummed, pushed Jiang Feng aside, strode into the room, and went straight upstairs.

Her footsteps were heavy, each step seeming to vent her anger.

Jiang Feng stood in the doorway, watched Xu Tong's silhouette disappear at the stairwell, then turned and gave Ma Jian a glance.

"Do you know her?"

Ma Jian nodded and explained,

"Yes, Jiang Ge, Sister Xu Tong is well‑known in the Provincial Capital Circle, a tough character."

"She trained in martial arts at Kyoto Hongwu Hall since childhood, studied under a Heavenly Person Realm Expert, and is now at Master Peak. Back then she almost entered the Si Tian Examination."

Jiang Feng's eyes flickered slightly upon hearing that.

Being so close to entering the Si Tian Examination shows that Xu Tong truly has talent.

But that's all.

Master Peak, seen as an expert by ordinary people, is merely so in his eyes.

Jiang Feng turned, walked back to the living room, and sat on the sofa.

Ma Jian followed behind him, asking softly,

"Jiang Ge, Sister Xu Tong isn't here because she heard you're dating Sister Jiang Yan and came to cause trouble, is she?"

Jiang Feng gave him a glance, the corner of his mouth lifting slightly.

"Even if she comes to cause trouble, it's no problem; a mere Master Peak can't stir up much trouble."

Ma Jian was momentarily stunned, then laughed.

"Indeed, with Jiang Ge around, no one's frightening."

Upstairs, Xu Tong pushed open Jiang Yan's bedroom door.

Jiang Yan was sitting on the bedside, a book in her hand.

But she clearly wasn't reading; her gaze was dazed, lost in thought.

Seeing Xu Tong enter, Jiang Yan was startled.

"Sister Tong? Why did you come?"
