An Unexpected Conflict
"Little sister, you're becoming more and more unruly! How dare you bring a wild man into your own courtyard! If word gets out, won't the world laugh at the Feng Lineage for having no manners!"
Third Brother Feng immediately launched into a tirade of angry rebukes, completely disregarding Ye Beixuan.
"Third Brother, I..."
Just as he was about to explain, he was interrupted sharply by Third Brother Feng.
"Shut up."
With a cold expression, he continued, "I'll give you the time it takes to drink a cup of tea to get this bastard and his accomplices out of here!"
Snap!
In response to Third Brother Feng, Ye Beixuan delivered a resounding slap to the face.
Third Brother Feng was spun around several times by the slap before he regained his balance, and his left cheek was visibly swollen.
Ye Beixuan coldly swept his gaze over everyone present. Feng Qiongyu Feng Qiongyu one of his Achilles' heel, and he would absolutely not allow anyone to harm her in any way.
Quiet!
The gate to the mansion was eerily quiet.
The Feng Lineage members were all stunned. They never expected that their Third Brother Feng, the Lineage's prodigy, would be beaten up.
It's important to know that among the younger generation of the clan, Third Brother Feng is second only to the eldest brother.
Grandpa and Grandfather both cherished him like a precious treasure. In the entire Feng Lineage, even Feng Qiongyu's parents wouldn't dare to discipline Third Brother Feng like that.
But today, Third Brother Feng was actually beaten up, and by a random man that Feng Qiongyu brought back.
This is a huge problem.
Feng Qiongyu never expected things to turn out this way. Her third brother used to dote on her the most, and today he not only scolded her but also got into a conflict with Senior Brother Ye.
She quickly raised her hand to stop Ye Beixuan: "Senior brother, don't hit him, he's my third brother."
Upon hearing this, Ye Beixuan nodded slightly. "For Qiongyu's sake, I'll spare your life, otherwise you'd be dead by now."
As for kicking us out, even your ancestor couldn't do that."
These words instantly enraged the Feng Lineage.
They roared indignantly, "What an arrogant brat! How dare he provoke us on the Feng Lineage's territory!"
Let's give him a good beating and show him the power of the Feng Lineage!
"..."
"Really?"
Ye Beixuan did not make a move, but simply released the pressure emanating from his body.
An aura of the Dao Integration Realm power instantly enveloped everyone.
Feeling this terrifying pressure, the members of the Feng Lineage were like ducks with their throats being choked, unable to utter a single word.
"The Dao Integration Realm."
Third Brother Feng's expression changed drastically. He never expected that Feng Qiongyu would actually find an elder from the Dao-Seeking Academy to be his Dao partner. His anger flared up instantly.
However, he wasn't stupid, otherwise he wouldn't have been so well-liked by his great-grandfather and grandfather.
He grinned and said, "Let's go!"
After saying that, Third Brother Feng and his group turned and left angrily.
Watching her third brother's departing figure, Feng Qiongyu quickly called out, "Third Brother."
Upon hearing this, Third Brother Feng paused slightly, but did not turn around, and continued walking forward.
After everyone disappeared from sight, Ye Beixuan spoke up, "Junior Sister Feng, I made things difficult for you just now, but I don't want to see you bullied by anyone, not even your brothers and sisters."
If your parents and ancestors want to punish me, then I am willing to accept the punishment.
Feng Qiongyu said, "Then let's pack up and go apologize to Father and Mother later."
"Good."
Ye Beixuan agreed without hesitation.
Before Third Brother Feng and his group had gone far, the alluring woman in the crowd revealed a heartbroken expression.
"I originally thought that Qiongyu's rapid progress in cultivation at the Dao-Seeking Academy was due to the awakening of the Feng Lineage bloodline, but I never expected that she would actually submit to an elder in order to become stronger."
She deliberately emphasized the word "elder," implying that Feng Qiongyu had actually chosen a decrepit old man as her Daoist partner.
Those present paled upon hearing this.
Third Brother Feng said with a gloomy face, "Shut up!"
The alluring woman looked aggrieved. "Third Brother, I was just standing up for you, how could you yell at me?"
The surrounding clansmen echoed, "Yes, Third Brother, it was Qiongyu who was in the wrong, and even you were humiliated. We absolutely cannot let this go."
Third Brother Feng said, "Do you really think the elders of the Dao-Seeking Academy are pushovers? Most of our fathers were only Dao Integration Realm experts. Do you expect them to gang up on one of the Dao-Seeking Academy's elders?"
Upon hearing this, everyone present fell silent.
They're not fools; the previous conflict was at most a grudge between juniors.
If the older generation were to intervene, their temperament would change drastically.
Although Fire Phoenix Valley was not afraid of the Dao-Seeking Academy, they did not want to make an enemy of such a behemoth.
An elder represents the reputation of the entire hospital.
A moment later, Third Brother Feng, with half his face swollen, arrived in the Valley Master's main hall.
"Grandson greets Grandpa."
When the head of the Feng Lineage saw that half of his beloved grandson's face was swollen, he frowned slightly and asked, "Yanxiang, what happened to you?"
Third Brother Feng didn't hide anything. "Grandpa, my sister's Daoist partner and I had a conflict, and I was no match for him..."
"What?"
Upon hearing this, the head of the Feng Lineage's face immediately darkened, for Yanxiang was his most beloved grandson.
Now some nobody dares to beat up my grandson! If we don't get our revenge, how can the Feng Lineage maintain its standing in the Profound Continent? Won't we be ridiculed in the future?
"Send men to arrest those two wicked children!"
"Grandpa, wait a minute. That person is no ordinary individual; he is an elder of the Dao Integration Realm from the Dao-Seeking Academy."
Feng Yanxiang's lack of explanation was a relief; his explanation immediately turned the faces of the Feng Lineage patriarch and the elders into grim expressions.
"How dare this wretched girl do such a thing!"
The head of the Feng Lineage subconsciously assumed that Feng Qiongyu had seduced an elder of the Dao-Seeking Academy, which was why she dared to be so arrogant.
Feng's father's face darkened, and he muttered, "What a misfortune for our family! What a misfortune for our family!"
The surrounding elders did not step forward to deliver the final blow, but instead stood there each with their own thoughts.
The main reason for this martial arts contest to find a husband is that Feng Qiongyu has awakened her bloodline. The Feng Lineage plans to use this as a gimmick to win over some powerful forces.
To everyone's surprise, Feng Qiongyu ended up associating with the elders of the Dao-Seeking Academy.
If the world were to find out that the jewel of the Feng Lineage was with a decrepit old man, wouldn't the Feng Lineage become a laughingstock?
"Shut up!"
The head of the Feng Lineage immediately shouted angrily, interrupting Feng's father.
He said coldly, "Now is not the time to talk such discouraging words. You should think about how to make amends. You absolutely cannot let the Feng Lineage lose face."
quiet.
He was met with an eerie silence.
Just as the Feng Lineage patriarch was about to lose his temper, a disdainful voice rang out.
"Hmph, you bunch of useless old fogies, weren't you always so good at bragging in front of the younger generation? Now that you hear the other side is an elder from the Dao-Seeking Academy, you're backing down?"
Everyone turned their attention to the speaker, a woman in a red gauze dress who swept her gaze across the crowd with a mocking expression.
Although the head of the Feng Lineage looked displeased, he still asked, "Qingyan, I suppose you already have a plan in mind, so don't keep me in suspense!"
