Chapter 40: Returned to the home

Feng Xueyi was taken aback by Li Shixin’s words. She moved forward and said, "Aunt, I don’t want to go with him, I will go with you."

"Feng Xueyi, don’t be stubborn. You need to go." Li Shixin sighed and said.

"Why?" However, Feng Xueyi was not ready to go with Feng Yun, she didn’t trust Feng Yun at all, somewhat feared him.

"I have my reason, I will tell you later, for now you both need to return to the clan, I tell someone to prepare a carriage for you." Li Shixin’s expression became stern and said, leaving no room for rebuttal.

Seeing the stern look of Li Shixin, Feng Xueyi nodded unwillingly. On the other hand, Feng Yun founded the whole thing confusing, well as it was order of his father, he had to return to see what was going on.

After a while, Feng Yun was sitting in the carriage with Feng Xueyi who has an unhappy, clearly not comfortable with him. Li Shixin suggested bringing the guards to protection on the way, but Feng Yun refused. He was very strong, didn’t need anyone’s protection.

Soon the carriage started moving, after a while it left the city gate.

"Why such unhappy face? I am not going to do anything to you." Feng Yun getting bored as he started conversation.

"Hmph, don’t talk to me." Feng Xueyi snorted coldly.

"Okay, how about a new start. Forgive me for all my previous mistakes, I had a problem with my brain. But I am trying to change now, you must have noticed the changes in my behaviour." Feng Yun said.

Seeing she was not ready to win

"Don’t underestimate this, it is a precious armer, it can defend against Soul Sea Realm cultivators." Seeing, she was getting furious, Feng Yun spoke and explaining the value of the armer.

Defending Soul Sea Realm cultivator’s attack, Feng Xueyi was taken aback. However, a revelation hit her, she realised that Feng Yun was deceiving her.

"I don’t need it." Feng Xueyi’s voice was still so cold.

"Okay, you don’t want armer, you should need this." Feng Yun took out an elixir.

Feng Xueyi didn’t even look at the pill, she was looking outside from the window and replied, "I don’t need anything from you."

"Are you sure? This is very precious elixir." Feng Yun’s brows raised slightly and said.

"Are you planning to use shameless means with me?" Feng Xueyi frowned.

If she dared to take the pill given by Feng Yun, It would be even more ridiculous.

"I am not Su Mei, i will not fall for your dirty tricks."

Suddenly, Feng Yun flexed his fingers and imprisoned Feng Xueyi directly with the spiritual qi.

Realizing that she couldn’t move, Feng Xueyi’s eyes widened.

"Don’t make false assumptions in your mind. I don’t need cheap tricks to deal with you, if I wanted to do something, you will not able to stop me anyway." Feng Yun’s voice was cold as he spoke while looking into her eyes.

He had figured it out that he couldn’t communicate normally with Feng Xueyi, so he decided to broke her view on him.

The next moment, the pressure banished and Feng Xueyi regained her freedom over her body.

"Huhh.."

She took deep breaths, her eyes were showing fear as she looked at him. She never expected him to be so strong. Her eyes were filled with shock, while there was turmoil brewing in her heart. How did he become so strong? Is he always this strong and hiding his cultivation from the world?

Many questions appeared in her mind related to his cultivation.

....

The rest of the way was quiet, as neither of the two talk to each other. Feng Yun wasn’t in mood to entertain Feng Xueyi while Feng Xueyi’s mood was complicated right now.

In the evening, they returned to the Maple Leaf City safely without encountering any accident.

Upon arriving home, Feng Yun was summoned by his father to talk about something important.

"What happened father?" Feng Yun asked curiously. At this time, Feng Yun was sitting on the chair in front of his father. The maid brewed two cups of tea for them before leaving them alone to talk.

"How are you? How was your trip to Red Fort City?" Feng Bai looked at Feng Yun, trying to see the strength of his son, his instincts were telling him that his son had become stronger but how much, he couldn’t tell. He also knew that Feng Yun was hiding some secrets, the change in his personalty was abrupt, too big to conceal after that incident. Although Feng Yun tried to hide his change, but how could he hide it from his father.

"I am fine, father. The trip was also very good, I learned many new things." Feng Yun said as he took a sip of tea. Feng Bai talked about a few mislenious things before coming to the important topic, seeing his serious expression Feng Yun also became attentive.

"We have just discovered that the real culprit behind the incident between you and Su Mei was the City Lord. Actually, it was planned by the eldest son of the City Lord when the City Lord became aware of it, he backed his son."

"The City Lord’s son was very fond of Su Mei, but she rejected him outright. After seeing the outstanding talent of Su Mei, the City Lord proposed the marriage to Su Clan, but Su Clan complied with Su Mei’s wish and turned down the proposal of City Lord. As Su Mei’s cultivation increased by a tremendous rate, the City Lord grew anxious, knowing once Su Mei’s talent attracted strong forces and joined the strong faction, his position would be in jeopardy." Feng Bai said with some anger in his tone and continued. Feng Yun on the other hand, listened carefully while thinking something inwardly.

The City Lord’s plan was very good, killing two birds with one stone. The Feng Clan and Su Clan are both strongest clans after the City Lord’s clan, hindering the City Lord’s complete dominance in the Maple Leaf City. After weakening our clans, he would have complete dominance in the Maple Leaf City.

"Feng Yun, you should lie low for a while, seeing their plan failed, they might try something dirty. We and Su Clan are forming a temporary alliance to suppress the City Lord’s faction." Feng Bai warned Feng Yun. Feng Yun nodded and said, "Don’t worry, father, I know what to do."

Feng Yun decided not to tell his father about the assassin attempts that had happened in the Red Fort City. After obtaining the support of the Princess, he could handle a small city lord easily.

Feng Yun thought for a moment and said, "Father, so how are you planning to confront the City Lord, what is the strength of the City Lord’s faction. Can Feng and Su Clan win against city lord’s clan?"

Feng Bai replied with a serious face, "The City Lord’s clan itself is not very strong however due to being an official member of royal court, he is untouchable. As long as he has support of the Royal Clan, we can’t kill him. That is why we decided to make a report to the empire. Once Royal Clan became aware of his crime, he will most likely punished by the Royal Court, his title will also take back."

"Father, you can start making preparation, don’t wary about the Royal Court, they will not intervene." Feng Yun took out the earl token given by the Princess and said.

"Hmm, what do you mean... this... this.. where did you get this?"

"It’s mine. cheer up Dad, you are now father of an Earl of the Azure Dragon Empire." Feng Yun laughed.

"Your? What the..."
