Blazing flames burned within every pill furnace, and the scorching heat sent the room's temperature soaring.
An old man in black sat in the room, his body radiating a powerful aura that was sharp and intimidating. He was Feng Zhan's father, Feng Tianyang.
Feng Tianyang's right arm had been severed, and a vicious sword wound marred his chest, blood streaming from it in a horrifying sight.
"Zhan'er, go out first," Feng Tianyang said gravely.
"Yes." Feng Zhan obediently replied, but he could not help asking, "Father, why haven't my mother and the others arrived yet?"
Feng Tianyang took a deep breath and said, "They cannot come for now. We'll wait until later. For the moment, we must first help your Big Brother increase his strength."
"By the way, I heard the Feng Family's disciples discussing how distinguished guests visited the Feng Family today?" Feng Tianyang asked doubtfully.
Feng Zhan nodded. "Father, Young Master Lin and Nangong Yudie came to propose marriage."
"Young Master Lin?" Feng Tianyang frowned slightly, then suddenly understood. "Oh, you mean Lin Taichu. He is indeed considered a distinguished guest of our Feng Family."
"Father, what do you think?" Feng Zhan looked at Feng Tianyang. Though he had long made up his mind, he still wanted to seek Feng Tianyang's opinion.
After all, the Lin Family was one of the Qin Dynasty's four great ancient clans, with an exceptionally formidable background.
Feng Tianyang's expression turned solemn. "This matter may be troublesome. If your Big Brother marries Nangong Yudie, then they must marry, or they will face joint extermination by the entire Lin Manor and the imperial family!"
Hearing this, a bitter smile immediately appeared on Feng Zhan's face.
He understood the stakes as well, but if he were asked to refuse, he truly could not accept it.
