Jiang Liu returned to his residence, still unable to understand what Feng Yi meant by doing this. He had just seen clearly who the woman lying on the bed was.
Otherwise, she certainly wouldn't have run so fast. If she were a courtesan, she wouldn't need to run at all. But with women of the Feng Yue, it's hard to say.
Jiang Liu knew Feng Yue's temperament well; she wasn't someone to be trifled with. So for now, he could only play dumb, since nothing was wrong.
No one can persuade us. We're all just Jianghu folks, not bound by formalities.
The key question is, what is the Feng Family's intention? It's obvious without even thinking that this wasn't arranged by Feng Yi. Firstly, they don't have the guts, and secondly, they don't have the power.
So for now, we don't need to worry about it; the Feng Family will naturally step in. Then, it will be time for us to take control.
Not long after Jiang Liu left, Feng Yue was in Yi Hua Brothel, chasing Feng Yi with a sword. Feng Yi, disheveled, ran around frantically, begging Feng Yue for mercy as he fled.
"Sister, this really has nothing to do with me, I don't know anything about it! Please let me go!" Feng Yi said to Feng Yue with a pitiful look.
Feng Yue's eyebrows shot up, and her almond-shaped eyes widened as she glared at Feng Yi. "You Baldy Feng, I won't hold your past mistakes against you, but if you don't give me an explanation this time, I'll chop you up."
It's clear that Feng Yue was really angry, as she even shouted "Baldy Feng!"
Although she Feng Yi often bicker and argue, they are always just playful buddies. She'll always stand up for Feng Yi when he's in trouble, and she'll protect Feng Yi if anyone speaks ill of Feng Yi.
Upon hearing Feng Yue's words, Feng Yi immediately stopped joking around. He could tell that Feng Yue was genuinely angry, so he quickly apologized, saying, "If you want to know the reason, go ask your father. I really did what he told me to do!"
Seeing that Feng Yue Feng Yi genuinely didn't know the reason, Feng Yue hurriedly sheathed her sword and left. Feng Yi also quickly straightened his clothes and followed Feng Yue's steps, walking briskly towards the Feng Family's direction, not even bothering to take a carriage.
The two returned to the Feng Family. When Feng Yi saw Feng Yue heading straight for the Lineage council hall, he immediately disregarded the possibility of Feng Yue turning against him and quickly stepped forward to block her.
"Little sister, calm down. If you run to the council hall now, not only will Dad scold you, but Grandpa will too. Talk to Dad later."
Feng Yue was stopped by Feng Yi, and she immediately calmed down. She looked at Feng Yi with a wronged expression, then turned around and went to find her mother.
When Feng Yi saw that Feng Yue had gone to find his mother, he felt even more troubled. His mother was an even more terrifying figure than his father. Although she was usually very gentle, once she got angry, no one could stop her.
At this moment, there were six people sitting in the Feng Family's council hall: Old Master Feng and his five sons.
The patriarch of the Feng Family, Feng Boyun, sat upright in the center, looking at his eldest son, Feng Yunshi, and asked, "How is Yue'er?"
Feng Yunshi said, "Father, everything has been arranged. The Lotus Sect shouldn't be able to find an opportunity this time."
Feng Boyun nodded and said, "Okay, but you should also keep an eye on Yi'er, so he doesn't hold us back."
Feng Yunshi replied, "I will. I will keep Yi'er under house arrest for the time being!"
The second brother, Feng Yunshu, said, "But eldest brother, aren't you afraid that Yue'er will cause a scene? If Yue'er does cause a scene, it will be difficult to explain to sister-in-law!"
The third brother, Feng Yunxian, said, "Yes, eldest brother, second brother's worries are not unfounded!" He shuddered at the thought of his sister-in-law's terrifying nature.
The fourth brother, Feng Yunjia, continued, "Furthermore, is Jiang Liu really reliable?"
Fifth Brother Feng Yunli disagreed, saying, "Aren't you afraid that Jiang Liu won't agree?"
Upon hearing this, the others all looked at Feng Yunli, hoping he would give a reason.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Feng Yunli scratched his head sheepishly and said, "I was just saying, I don't know what Jiang Liu meant."
"Then what do you suggest we do? Now that things have already started, you all have so many opinions. Why didn't you say so before we started?" Feng Yunshi said with dissatisfaction.
"So you've already made the decision? Did we even get a chance to voice our opinions?" Feng Yunshu muttered under his breath.
"What did you say? Speak louder!" Feng Yunshi said, frowning.
"It's nothing. Since it's already arranged, let's just do it! But should we confirm with Jiang Liu?" Feng Yunshu said helplessly.
"Alright, there's no point in arguing about this now. The main things to do are to appease Yue'er and to explain things clearly to Jiang Liu. Boss, you handle this," the old man Feng Boyun, directly instructed.
Feng Yunshi replied, "Yes, Father! Then I'll go find Yue'er's mother first!" After saying that, Feng Yunshi got up and left the council hall.
Feng Boyun watched Feng Yunshi walk out, then turned to Feng Yunshu and said, "Second brother, you should also ask your wife to persuade your sister-in-law. Besides, after observing for so long, I think Jiang Liu is indeed a suitable candidate. His character, talent, and temperament are all top-notch."
"Also, even though your two kids are still young, you still need to be careful, lest someone find an opportunity to take advantage of them."
"Yes, Father. It's alright, I'll go down now." Feng Yunshi stood up and replied.
Afterwards, Feng Boyun instructed his third, fourth, and fifth brothers to pay close attention to the changes in Wind City during this period. The various factions were starting to fall into chaos, and their Feng Family was being forced to join them.
Feng Yunshi arrived at her backyard and, sure enough, heard her daughter sobbing and complaining to her mother. She immediately felt a headache coming on.
But even with a headache, I had to do it, because it was the old man's decision. I made up my mind and went inside.
Jiang Liu had no idea what had happened at the Feng Family, but he could imagine it must have been quite a lively affair. He then composed himself and began his cultivation for the day.
With Annihilation by Thought, the technique was unleashed, and a storm instantly appeared before them, appearing and disappearing without a trace. The storm swirled and vanished into the distance.
Jiang Liu is now diligently practicing Annihilation by Thought every day because he has discovered that each time he uses Annihilation by Thought, his mental energy is completely depleted, and after recovering, his mental energy grows relatively quickly.
However, after each cultivation session, he would experience a splitting headache, so Jiang Liu had a love-hate relationship with this cultivation method.
However, in order to increase his strength, Jiang Liu could only endure self-harm time and time again. He always remembered that there was no cultivation without suffering.
Jiang Liu once again exhausted his spiritual energy. With his head spinning, he sat cross-legged and began to cultivate the Beast Mastery Art. Before long, a new generation of spiritual energy slowly filled Jiang Liu's mind.
After his mind was filled with spiritual energy, new spiritual energy continued to be generated, as if it were about to burst Jiang Liu's head.
The place where spiritual energy exists is like a small lake, which quickly fills up, and newly generated spiritual energy continues to pour in.
Jiang Liu wanted to stop cultivating immediately, but the Soul Technique started operating uncontrollably, and the speed at which spiritual power was generated was even faster.
Soon, Jiang Liu felt as if his head was about to explode.
Jiang Liu endured the headache, accelerated the circulation of his cultivation technique, and suddenly compressed his mental energy, which eased his condition slightly.
At this moment, Jade Anomaly Tree joined in the fun again.
He released a burst of spiritual energy, replenishing the compressed spiritual energy lake. This was like a fire igniting the gasoline in the lake, causing it to burst into flames.
Jiang Liu suddenly felt his head go completely blank, and he fainted, losing consciousness.
