Mother Feng's Shock

"Father, this is what you asked me to say. After I finish, please don't accuse me of being cunning."

Feng Qingyan responded sarcastically, her expression showing no regard for her elderly father.

"Explain."

The head of the Feng Lineage has never been very satisfied with this daughter, after all, cultivators respect strength above all else.

Feng Qingyan, on the other hand, prefers to engage in scheming and plotting, showing no trace of being a member of the Feng Lineage.

Feng Qingyan said with a smile, "As far as I know, although our Feng Lineage has sent invitations to talented people all over the world, we haven't specified the content of the competition."

Since the elders of the Dao-Seeking Academy want to participate in the martial arts contest to choose a husband, let's modify the rules a couple of times and allow the talented individuals participating in the contest to hire someone to help them fight."

Upon hearing this, the Feng Lineage's high-ranking Heaven Piercer present, for the first time ever, did not loudly reprimand Feng Qingyan.

They weren't fools, and they quickly realized Feng Qingyan's intention.

The head of the Feng Lineage said, "That's right, this method is feasible. Firstly, it can show the world that our Feng Lineage wants to form a marriage alliance with a powerful person. Secondly, it will prevent people from laughing at us by seeing an old man appearing on the martial arts tournament stage to choose a husband."

Feng Qingyan's lips curled up slightly. "Father, Qiongyu is my favorite niece, you don't actually think I would harm her, do you?"

The head of the Feng Lineage quickly changed the subject and continued, "Is there anything else?"

Feng Qingyan said, "Secondly, Qiongyu must not leave that villa for the next few days, and she is not allowed to appear in public with that elder from the Miscellaneous Dao Institute. As for the others, we can use her fellow disciples to make up the difference."

"Okay, we'll do it your way."

As the head of the Feng Lineage spoke, he turned his gaze to his eldest son, who was standing to the side.

"Huangli, Qiongyu is your daughter, so this matter is entrusted to you."

"Promise."

After Feng's father responded, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Inside the courtyard.

Just as Ye Beixuan and Feng Qiongyu were about to leave, a fire phoenix landed in front of them.

When Feng Qiongyu saw the fire phoenix, she was taken aback. She then picked up the fire phoenix and heard it speak human language.

"The lady wishes to see you and has asked you to wait in the other courtyard."

"Okay, I understand."

Feng Qiongyu spoke, she turned to look at Ye Beixuan beside her.

"Junior sister, don't worry. When your aunt arrives, I'll take the blame and that will definitely appease her."

Ye Beixuan said indulgently.

"Thank you, senior."

Feng Qiongyu naturally knew how proud Senior Brother Ye was. Apart from his fellow disciples at the Dao-Seeking Academy, he was second to none among the most outstanding talents.

This prodigy was willing to apologize to his mother for his own sake, rather than use his power to oppress her, which deeply moved her.

A short while later, a luxurious carriage stopped outside Feng Qiongyu's residence.

Feng Qiongyu opened the door early and stood at the entrance waiting for her mother to arrive.

The carriage doors opened, and a graceful and elegant woman, supported by two maids, slowly stepped down from the carriage.

"Mother."

After shouting, Feng Qiongyu quickly went to meet him, with Ye Beixuan following closely behind.

Upon hearing that familiar voice, the beautiful woman completely forgot the purpose of her visit, and a smile appeared on her face, "Little Feather, my Little Feather is finally back! Let Mother see if Little Feather has lost weight?"

"Mommy, I'm not a little child anymore."

Upon hearing this, Feng Qiongyu blushed. Her Senior Brother Ye was right there; why was her mother acting like this?

After exchanging pleasantries, the mother turned her gaze to Ye Beixuan, who was standing to the side.

Having lived for hundreds of years, she was quite knowledgeable and immediately recognized the extraordinary nature of the young man before her; his cultivation seemed to surpass even her own.

"Who is this, Qiongyu?"

Feng Qiongyu quickly said, "Mother, this is Senior Brother Ye."

Ye Beixuan also stepped forward and respectfully said, "Nephew Ye Beixuan greets Aunt."

As someone with experience, Feng's mother could easily see that her youngest daughter's relationship with this young man was unusual.

But didn't my husband say before that Qiongyu was with an elder from the Dao-Seeking Academy? What's going on here?

"Was it you who hit my son just now?"

"Yes."

Ye Beixuan said calmly, "This nephew is willing to accept the punishment."

Upon hearing this, Madam Feng felt her head buzzing. What on earth was going on? What her husband and San'er said was completely different from what she had seen.

Where in the Dao-Seeking Academy would you find an elder this young?

However, out of consideration for her pride and the pressure of the situation, she still kept a straight face and said, "This is not the place to talk. Let's go inside and discuss this."

"Promise."

After Feng Qiongyu and Ye Beixuan responded, they followed Feng's mother into the courtyard.

After the maidservant served tea to everyone, Madam Feng ignored those around her and said calmly, "Nephew Ye, won't you reintroduce yourself to me?"

Having lived two lives, Ye Beixuan could naturally tell that his future mother-in-law was assessing his family background.

He stood up, bowed, and said, "Auntie, I am Ye Beixuan, a disciple of the Great Sage Qiankun. My cultivation level is currently at the Dao Integration Third Layer Realm, and I serve as an elder of the Miscellaneous Dao Institute Academy."

Bang!

Upon hearing this, Feng's mother's hand trembled, and the teacup in her hand fell to the ground.

Even she, a woman confined to her chambers, had heard of the Great Sage Qiankun's reputation.

Just a few days ago, news of the Great Sage Qiankun and Earth defeating the Two Saints had already reached Fire Phoenix Valley.

The Feng Lineage still lamented that Feng Qiongyu had not been able to become a disciple of the Great Sage Qiankun.

Now that her son-in-law had told her that he was a disciple of the Great Sage Qiankun, Madam Feng was overjoyed.

"Mother, are you alright?"

Seeing her mother drop the teacup, Feng Qiongyu immediately asked with concern.

"I'm fine. As long as you two are alright, that's all that matters. Was it your third brother who spoke rudely to your nephew Ye just now?" Madam Feng then asked.

"No, Third Brother just scolded me a few times, and then Senior Brother Ye gave me a lecture," Feng Qiongyu said somewhat embarrassedly.

Ye Beixuan also spoke up at the opportune moment, saying, "Auntie, what happened just now was my fault. I hope you will forgive me."

Feng's mother, now looking at her son-in-law with increasing fondness, said with a smile, "You were only trying to protect Qiongyu from being wronged. You did nothing wrong. Let's ignore him and just chat about everyday things."

"Promise."

Ye Beixuan then sat down.

Feng Qiongyu then brewed her mother another cup of tea.

The three chatted in a relaxed and pleasant manner. When Feng's mother learned that Ye Beixuan was only in his early forties, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly that her daughter had excellent taste and had actually found such a prodigy.

If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have organized that martial arts contest to find a husband for Qiongyu. Luckily, I came by, otherwise I really wouldn't know how to handle the situation.

Two hours later.

Feng Qiongyu and Ye Beixuan escorted Feng's mother to the front gate.

Before parting, Madam Feng said, "Qiongyu, the matter of the martial arts contest for marriage is already settled, and my Feng Lineage cannot go back on its word. You two will have to stay in the manor for the time being. As for your fellow disciples, they are free to go out and play as they please."

Feng Qiongyu nodded sweetly, "Mother, I understand the rules. I'll trouble you to say a few words to Father."

"Snort!"

Madam Feng snorted coldly, "I'm not going to tell that old man that I never agreed to the martial arts contest for marriage in the first place. I'll let Beixuan make a name for himself in the contest so those guys will know how good my precious daughter's taste is."

Upon hearing this, Feng Qiongyu blushed and thought to herself: Actually, I don't know why Senior Brother Ye would fall in love with me.

Ye Beixuan smiled and cupped his hands, saying, "Auntie, rest assured, I will certainly not let you down."

As if remembering something, Madam Feng quickly said, "I almost forgot the important matter. This time, for the martial arts contest to choose a husband, we can hire someone to help us fight. Would you like to...?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Beixuan smiled and said, "To be honest, Auntie, my eldest and second senior brothers have also come this time."

Upon hearing this, Phoenix Mother's expression changed drastically, and she immediately asked, "Are they the two Holy Sons from the Dao-Seeking Academy?"

"Good."

Ye Beixuan did not hide anything.

"Alright, alright, then this old woman has nothing to worry about."

After speaking, Madam Feng got into her carriage and left...
