When Feng Zhenghao arrived, he found that the situation was not as bad as he had imagined.
When Feng Zhenghao saw his daughter Feng Shayan use her spatial teleportation ability to unleash a huge silver-white Qi fist aimed at a large rock, he was shocked.
The large rock was struck, but without any exaggerated, deafening noise. The Qi Fist seemed to pierce through it, passing through the air for a few meters before dissipating on its own. The large rock then turned into dust, which was scattered by the breeze.
Lü Ci and Wang Ai were greatly alarmed.
The Wang Family and Lü Family families were completely dumbfounded.
There are many Evolver capable of shattering such rocks, but few can match the exaggerated and terrifying power of Feng Shayan's punch.
After all, the rock was completely weathered!
Feng Zhenghao was utterly shocked and deeply worried. Could it be that Wang Ai, the old man from the Wang Family, had become even more envious after witnessing Feng Shayan's move and was now plotting something against her?
Feng Zhenghao felt extremely grief-stricken and resentful. He thought about his ancestors' situation and the disadvantages they had brought to his Feng Family. He even thought about his two dead sons, who were probably killed by the Wang Family, just to check if his Feng Family had mastered the complete version of one of the Eight Impure Techniques, Spirit Binding and General Dispatch.
Feng Zhenghao suppressed the turmoil in his heart, put on a cheerful smile, and strode confidently toward Wang Ai and Lü Ci.
"Elder Wang, Elder Lü, I wonder if my daughter's arrival has disturbed you both?"
" Feng Zhenghao, you've arrived. You have a very nice daughter." Wang Ai was a little greedy for Feng Shayan's abilities.
Although he doesn't currently consider the limits of the Feng Shayan to be a concern, there's no guarantee that they might break through new barriers and reach even greater heights in the future.
Feng Zhenghao was extremely worried. He knew very well what kind of character Wang Ai, one of the Ten Elders, was.
"Master Xiao Deva Path is here too." Feng Zhenghao looked at Xiao Tian not far away, a sudden idea popping into his head.
Xiao Tian had originally planned to watch the show and enjoy the drama, but seeing that Feng Zhenghao was about to drag him into the mess, he almost burst out laughing.
Xiao Tian knew what Feng Zhenghao was planning. He simply wanted Wang Ai and Lü Ci, two of the Ten Elders, from talking too much so that Feng Shayan could leave safely and the crisis could be resolved.
Once this crisis is resolved, the Feng Shayan will definitely not leave Feng Zhenghao's sight again.
"Senior Feng Zhenghao, one of the Ten Elders." Xiao Tian nodded to Feng Zhenghao as a greeting, then turned to Wang Ai and Lü Ci, also one of the Ten Elders, and said with a smile, "I've delivered my message, so I won't linger any longer. You two elders, no need to see me off. Farewell."
"Alright, thank you for your help in delivering the message, Brother Xiao Tian." Wang Ai genuinely hoped that Xiao Tian would leave soon, since he could tell that Feng Zhenghao wanted to use Xiao Tian's intervention to deal with him.
"Thank you for your trouble, Brother Xiao Tian." Lü Ci nodded to Xiao Tian.
At this moment, Feng Shayan Feng Zhenghao were shocked. The attitude of Wang Ai and Lü Ci of the Ten Elders towards Xiao Tian was really a bit strange. It seemed that they were treating Xiao Tian as an equal.
Feng Zhenghao Feng Zhenghao, in particular, was worried. If Xiao Tian left, he would face the two elders alone, and the pressure would be immense.
Moreover, judging from Wang Ai's eyes, it was clear that he would find it quite difficult to take Feng Shayan away without paying something in return.
"Mr. Wang, Elder Lü, it's getting late, so I'll take my leave with my daughter."
"Hehehe..." Wang Ai chuckled and said, " Feng Zhenghao, don't be in such a hurry to leave. You have a wonderful daughter. Isn't she unmarried yet?"
Feng Zhenghao's heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained unchanged. He smiled and said, "Old Wang, I've never interfered with Shayan's marital situation. Times have changed; young people have their own views on love."
Xiao Tian paused at this moment. Wang Ai, that old fellow, had previously seemed to have hinted that he wanted his grandson Wang Bing to pursue Feng Shayan himself, influenced by Xiao Tian's words.
But now it seems Xiao Tian understands why Wang Ai is one of the Ten Elders.
Feng Shayan was completely bewildered. Hadn't they said they wouldn't bring this up again? Why was it starting all over again?
Feng Shayan was genuinely annoyed, but she dared not show it, fearing that offending Wang Ai and the Wang Family World Society.
Xiao Tian turned around, revealing an expression of watching a show.
"Daoist Xiao Deva Path, you are also a rising star among the younger generation. I wonder what your insights are on the views of young people on love these days?" Feng Zhenghao stared at Xiao Tian, who had stopped, his tone natural, but Xiao Tian could hear the plea for help in his voice.
Xiao Tian himself was not particularly influential, but behind him was the Celestial Master's Manor of Mount Longhu, the pinnacle of a family with one unparalleled master and two Gouketsu - the Old Celestial Master!
"Oh dear, speaking of this young man's views on love, although I cultivate in the mountains, I had a truly dreamlike life in the dazzling city in my younger days."
Xiao Tian turned around, then returned, his face filled with reminiscence.
"Back in the day, you could still buy soda at the corner store, the Little Tigers were still together, Uncle Ge still had hair, and I was still the coolest kid in the neighborhood..."
"Until that day, I provoked a young lady of high status. Our love was full of twists and turns, separations and reunions. In the end, I still chose to leave her because I was poor at that time. I had a lot of ambition and ability but no place to use them. Senior Feng and Miss Shayan are just like me now. Sigh." Xiao Tian looked up at the sky and sighed.
"Young Brother Xiao Tian, do you think the Feng Family's young lady is not good enough for my grandson Wang Bing?" Wang Ai said with a forced smile.
"That's just how it is." Xiao Tian curled his lip, spread his hands, and analyzed, "The Wang Family, where Elder Wang belongs, is Four Great Families in the Evolver World. Their foundation is so deep and powerful. Although Senior Feng's Feng Family has expanded its power rapidly in recent years, its foundation and true roots are far inferior to the Wang Family. Strictly speaking, they are just nouveau riche who have made their fortunes. Since ancient times, marriage has always emphasized matching social status."
Why is it important to marry someone of equal social standing? It's because elders are afraid their descendants will feel inferior because of the other person's family background. Of course, this also depends on the individual.
"Hey, Mr. Wang, do you know why I didn't choose to stay with that rich young lady back then? Although she was very good to me and I didn't feel like I was being kept, every time I went to her house and met her parents, siblings, and friends, I felt deeply that I was from a different world. This made me feel even more inferior. Most importantly, my mother-in-law took a liking to me."
Xiao Tian said with a pained expression, "When I think about how my mother-in-law threw a bank card with 200 million yuan in front of me that day, telling me to leave her daughter and date her, I was completely devastated."
Feng Shayan couldn't help but laugh out loud. Even a fool could tell that this was clearly a veiled reference to Old Master Wang Ai.
As Xiao Tian said, Xiao Tian is Feng Shayan, the rich young lady is Wang Bing, and the mother-in-law who has taken a liking to Xiao Tian is Wang Ai, who is greedy for Feng Shayan's space-traveling ability.
Xiao Tian's roundabout way of attacking people is really impressive!
Feng Zhenghao was a little confused. He wanted to drag Xiao Tian the fray so that his Feng Family could extricate themselves through the name of the Old Celestial Master of Mount Longhu Celestial Master's Manor, but he didn't expect Xiao Tian to be so audacious! He directly confronted one of the Ten Elders!
Wang Ai's narrowed eyes widened slightly, flashing with a cold, venomous light as she stared at Xiao Tian.
"What does Brother Xiao Tian mean by this?"
Xiao Tian curled his lip and said, "Comrade Old Wang, let me be frank, I've got my eye on this girl. Firstly, I'm attracted to her abilities, but mainly it's her figure. These days, it's rare to see such a stunningly beautiful Evolver."
"Hahaha..." Lü Ci couldn't help but laugh.
" Old Wang, that young man Xiao Tian is very straightforward."
Wang Ai remained expressionless, staring at Xiao Tian without saying a word for a few seconds.
Then, Wang Ai spoke up, "Since Brother Xiao Tian is interested in this girl from the Feng Family, let's have a fair competition."
Upon hearing this, Feng Zhenghao understood that Wang Ai, one of the Ten Elders, was willing to back down.
"Comrade Old Wang, to be honest, now that you mention it, I'm starting to lose some confidence," Xiao Tian chuckled.
"Brother Xiao Tian, you jest. As the esteemed disciple of the Old Celestial Master, you are naturally gifted, handsome, and outstanding. Moreover, judging from the young lady of the Feng Family's words, she clearly has an advantage over my grandson," Wang Ai said.
"Well, it's just a small advantage. Comrade Old Wang, it's getting late, I'll be going now. Bye."
Xiao Tian waved his hand, grabbed Feng Shayan's small hand, and dragged her away.
Feng Shayan didn't know what was happening to her, and without any resistance, she let Xiao Tian hold her hand and followed him.
Feng Zhenghao watched Xiao Tian leave with Feng Shayan and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Elder Wang, Elder Lü, I'll take my leave now."
Wang Ai did not stop them, and as for Lü Ci, he was just watching the show and didn't say much.
After everyone had left, Wang Ai sneered, " Old Lü, we need to be very careful with this Xiao Tian. I wonder if it's the Celestial Master's Manor's doing, or someone else..."
" Old Wang, you're overthinking it. Judging from Xiao Tian's previous personality, he's not afraid of us. If the Old Celestial Master wanted to deal with us, would he need a disciple?" Lü Ci chuckled.
"That's true. Back then, we'd fight anyone who disagreed. These young people, though, have changed. They're always resorting to underhanded tactics and sarcastic remarks."
Lü Ci smiled and said, "However, I'm increasingly envious of Xiao Tian. Shall we investigate him?"
"We should have more in-depth clues soon."
"Um."
In the mountains and forests, Feng Shayan looked at Xiao Tian ahead and chased after him, saying, " Xiao Tian, aren't you afraid of implicating the Celestial Master's Manor by offending Wang Ai, one of the Ten Elders?"
"Woman, you're really overthinking things. With Old Wang's intelligence, he's not so stupid as to not realize that I represent the Celestial Master's Manor." Xiao Tian curled his lip.
"Besides, if I didn't confront him like this, and didn't leverage the influence of the Celestial Master's Manor's Mansion and the Old Celestial Master's backing, would that old man Wang Ai have given in? That old guy is incredibly cunning."
"Thank you, Xiao Tian. I owe you a big favor this time." Feng Shayan stared at Xiao Tian with a complicated expression.
"Alright, be careful next time. Be a good Baobao and don't wander around. After all, you can't always be lucky like this." Xiao Tian yawned and sped away.
"Young friend Xiao Tian, wait a moment." Feng Zhenghao, one of the Ten Elders, caught up.
