Before Wei Meizi could retort, Ling Feng's indifferent voice rose again, "Actually, in my opinion, your Flame Hall really isn't up to par. If it weren't for the fact that I can't mobilize other forces at the moment, do you think I would regard Flame Hall with any esteem? Don't be ridiculous!"

Wei Meizi was truly angry this time. Flame Hall was her faith and support, and although Ling Feng had saved her, she could not tolerate such naked contempt for Flame Hall in her presence!

"Look down on our Flame Hall?" Wei Meizi said with a cold laugh, "Our Flame Hall has a history that spans hundreds of years, has weathered countless storms, and possesses strong foundations. You look down on us? What a joke!"

Ling Feng shook his head, "In my view, a force that has lasted for hundreds of years is actually struggling to survive under the oppression of two nascent forces that haven't a history of even thirty years. To have been driven to this point, you can consider yourself quite talented!"

"You..." Wei Meizi was furious inside, but Ling Feng was stating facts, and she was at a loss for words to counter him.

Ling Feng stood up and came to stand in front of Wei Meizi, speaking indifferently, "Now, I'll give you two choices. The first is to submit and become a sharp blade in my hand! The second is annihilation. Since I could rescue you from the encirclement of Taizi Club, naturally I can also destroy your Flame Hall. Don't look at me with that doubtful expression; believe in my strength!"

Wei Meizi said hatefully, "What exactly do you want to do!"

Ling Feng said lightly, "I want to destroy Taizi Club, so I must have the right weapons in my hand. You should feel honored that I regard the strength of your Flame Hall, otherwise, would you really think I'm so idle that I'd want your Flame Hall for no reason?"

"Destroy Taizi Club?" Wei Meizi said in surprise, "Do you have a grudge against Taizi Club?"

"That's not your concern!" Ling Feng said flatly, "Submit to me, and I can make your Flame Hall the only underground force in Yanjing. United Hearts Gang and Taizi Club will merely be stepping stones for the rise of Flame Hall! But if you disobey me, it's doubtful whether Flame Hall will last until the new year comes!"

Wei Meizi's expression was extremely complicated, "Make Flame Hall the sole underground force in Yanjing? Are you sure you're not talking nonsense?"

Ling Feng said confidently, "I, Ling Feng, have never gone back on my word! I know your heart is filled with doubt, but you don't have any other choice now!"

"Taizi Club and United Hearts Gang have already allied, and you are seriously wounded now. Without a leader, Flame Hall is like a dragon without a head.

If you don't accept my demands, I just need to confine you like a canary for a few days, and your Flame Hall will be slowly destroyed between the pincers of United Hearts Gang and Taizi Club!" Ling Feng wore an evil smile, "I suppose by that time, even regret would be too late, wouldn't it?"

Wei Meizi shivered. Ling Feng was absolutely right! The current situation was indeed precarious for Flame Hall!

A look of helplessness flashed across Wei Meizi's face. All her cards were laid bare, and what use was there in holding out any longer?

But could she really concede Flame Hall so easily? The thought filled Wei Meizi's heart with an unwillingness.

Seeing Wei Meizi's fluctuating expressions, Ling Feng knew her concerns well.

"How about this!" Ling Feng proposed, "Five years, that's all I need you to obey me for! And during this time, you will still be the leader of Flame Hall; I won't interfere with any of Flame Hall's affairs! What I need is for you to absolutely obey my orders when it comes to dealing with Taizi Club! I think you should be able to accept that, right?"

"If you can't accept even this condition, then I'll have no choice but to keep you confined here!" Ling Feng looked Wei Meizi over critically, "After all, you are a beauty, and you barely qualify to be one of my women!"

"Your choice is to continue being the leader of Flame Hall, obey my orders, and lead Flame Hall to glory, or to just watch as Flame Hall is divided up while waiting in bed for my favor every day. Now I think you understand which you should choose, don't you?" Ling Feng said with a wicked smile.

Wei Meizi stared at Ling Feng, unable to discern any information from his indifferent face.

Finally, she sighed deeply, her face carrying a look of humiliation, "I... I choose the first option! However, I have a condition, during these five years, I can comply with your demands, but you can't harm the interests of Flame Hall!"

"Don't worry, I have no interest in Flame Hall whatsoever!" Ling Feng said indifferently, "It's less than the interest I have in you!"

Wei Meizi's face flushed red. Couldn't this man feel comfortable without mocking her a few times?

"Alright, since the agreement has been reached, we need to set some rules!" Ling Feng continued indifferently, "In front of others, you may call me Mr. Ling, I am your hired Guest Elder! When we meet privately, you must call me Master..."

"You... dream on!" Wei Meizi said with a flushed face, gritting her teeth.

"It's just a title! Don't you even have the courage for that?" Ling Feng's eyes carried a hint of disdain!

Wei Meizi said, "If it's just a title, then why should I call you Master?"

"Because I like it!" Ling Feng said proudly, "To be called Master by such a beautiful woman like you, just thinking about it makes me very happy. If I'm in a good mood, naturally, I will help Flame Hall more! Not to mention becoming the number one in Yanjing, even dominating Huaxia isn't impossible!"

Wei Meizi snorted coldly, "Become the number one in Huaxia? Do you really think your brain is filled with water?"

"If you don't agree, I can only assume you've chosen the second option!" Ling Feng chuckled, "Then you should prepare to serve in bed now!"

Saying this, Ling Feng reached out to lift Wei Meizi's quilt!

Wei Meizi's face tensed up, and then she clutched the quilt tightly, "I choose the first option, I choose the first option!"

Ling Feng withdrew his hand, smiling faintly, "So what should you call me now?"

Wei Meizi looked at the man who was even younger than her, she opened her mouth, but the strong sense of shame made it impossible for her to utter those two words!

However, Ling Feng seemed to have plenty of patience, his gaze fixed on Wei Meizi, "Time is of the essence now, the longer you delay, the more dangerous it becomes for Flame Hall! If you care about face so much, we can continue to drag this out!"

Wei Meizi's face turned red as she softly said one word, "Master..."

"Your voice is too soft, I can't hear you!" Ling Feng interrupted Wei Meizi.

"Master!" Wei Meizi raised her voice, her complexion red as if she were drunk!

Seeing Wei Meizi like this, a triumphant smile appeared on the corner of Ling Feng's mouth!
