237: Feng Juntao apologizes
At this moment, the Disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect were like frightened birds, fleeing frantically in all directions.
Their faces were filled with fear and panic, as if they were being chased by evil spirits. That chaotic scene made one feel the extreme terror in their hearts.
In no time at all, they had vanished without a trace.
Before the Mountain Gate of the entire Phoenix Family, only chaos and silence remained, as if the fierce battle just now had been nothing but a nightmare.
Just then, the Grand Elder of the Phoenix Family, Feng Yinghao, suddenly lunged toward Feng Xueqing.
His eyes were filled with despair and madness; he knew the game was up, and the only way to survive now was to take control of Feng Xueqing.
"Boom...!"
The moment Feng Yinghao rose, Yang Lingchen blasted a Domain Breaking Fist Aura directly at him. That Fist Aura, carrying endless power and fury, instantly struck Feng Yinghao.
"Bang...!" "Pfft...!"
Feng Yinghao spat out a mouthful of blood and was knocked unconscious on the spot. His body traced an arc in the air before crashing heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
"You old undying thing, how dare you sneak attack my wife Xueqing." Yang Lingchen walked over swinging his staff, his face full of rage and killing intent.
"Brother-in-law." Feng Xiaofan, who was next to Feng Xueqing, called out to Yang Lingchen. His eyes were filled with anticipation and reliance.
"What is it?" Yang Lingchen turned back and smiled at Feng. He knew this Little Fellow was Feng Xueqing's younger brother. Looking at Feng Xiaofan's young yet determined face, a warmth welled up in Yang Lingchen's heart.
"You rest for a while, let me handle him." Feng Xiaofan spoke, his voice still carrying a hint of childishness, yet filled with determination.
"Are you sure?" Yang Lingchen laughed, looking at Feng Xiaofan with some doubt; after all, Feng Xiaofan was still just a child.
"Of course I'm sure. This old guy sneak-attacked my father, and I must kill him myself." Feng Xiaofan's eyes were filled with thick rage, a rage like a burning flame that made one feel the anger and hatred in his heart.
"Fine, then I'll leave him to you." After saying this, Yang Lingchen waved his hand, unleashing a burst of Divine Origin Power that directly shattered Feng Yinghao's Dantian, preventing him from hurting Feng Xiaofan. He knew Feng Xiaofan needed to vent the rage in his heart, but he couldn't let him fall into danger.
"Ahhh...!" The unconscious Feng Yinghao let out a shrill howl, a sound that was exceptionally jarring before the silent Mountain Gate, making one's skin crawl.
"Um, Brother-in-law, can you lend me your staff? I'm afraid if I use a sword, he'll die too quickly." Feng Xiaofan chuckled, his smile carrying a hint of cunning and cruelty, making one marvel at this child's precociousness.
"Fine, take it!" Yang Lingchen handed him the heaven-reaching staff. Watching Feng Xiaofan take the staff, with his firm steps and hands gripping it tightly, Yang Lingchen felt as if he were seeing a future powerhouse on the rise.
"Okay!" Feng Xiaofan took the staff and walked toward Feng Yinghao. His figure appeared so small under the sunlight, yet so resolute. Then, a series of heart-wrenching howls rang out, echoing throughout the entire Phoenix Family. That sound made one shudder, as if they could feel the pain and anger in Feng Xiaofan's heart.
"Damn, this kid doesn't look old, but he sure has plenty of ways to deal with people!" Even Yang Lingchen felt his scalp tingle watching. He couldn't help but sigh that the power of hatred could make a child become so ruthless.
On the other side. "Xueqing! Is this Grandpa's grandson-in-law?" Feng Jinyang's face revealed a kind smile. His eyes were filled with curiosity and anticipation, as if he were examining a precious treasure.
"Mm-hmm!" Feng Xueqing nodded shyly. A flush appeared on her face, the shyness and happiness unique to a young girl.
"Haha... good, good, good. So young, yet his cultivation level is comparable to the Great Emperor Realm. Grandpa is very satisfied with this grandson-in-law." After Feng Jinyang finished speaking, he said to Feng Juntao on the side: "Juntao! Xueqing found such an excellent husband, why have I never heard you mention it?" His tone carried a hint of reproach and confusion.
"Father, this... this is someone Xueqing found herself, I didn't know either!" Feng Juntao stood up with the support of his wife. His face was still a bit pale, but his eyes were filled with curiosity about Yang Lingchen.
"This child is not only handsome but his talent is also so excellent. We must quickly finalize their marriage." Feng Jinyang's smile was full of anticipation for the future and hope for the Family.
"Father is right." Feng Juntao nodded quickly, then said to Feng Xueqing: "Xueqing, you see, your father and grandfather are a bit inconvenienced in moving around, you should have Yang Lingchen come over."
"I can call him over, but Father, you must apologize to him." Feng Xueqing pouted. Her eyes were filled with determination, as if she were fighting for the respect Yang Lingchen deserved.
"Apologize? Why does your father need to apologize?" Feng Jinyang's eyes were filled with confusion, not understanding the reason behind it.
"A few months ago, I brought Yang Lingchen back, and before he could even sit down, Father chased him away." Feng Xueqing's voice carried a trace of grievance and dissatisfaction, as if she were still angry about what happened back then.
"Cough, cough... You scoundrel, this happened?" Feng Jinyang was so angry he coughed up another mouthful of blood. His eyes were filled with fury, and he felt very dissatisfied with Feng Juntao's behavior.
"Father, please calm your anger; at the time, I was indeed blind." Feng Juntao quickly admitted his fault, his face full of guilt and self-reproach.
"Hmph! You must apologize later." Feng Jinyang scolded, his tone resolute, not allowing Feng Juntao any room for excuses.
"Father, I am his future father-in-law after all! How about we skip the apology?" Feng Juntao asked tentatively. His face carried a hint of embarrassment and reluctance; after all, as an elder, apologizing to a Junior made him feel like he was losing face.
"Juntao, just apologize! I've heard about this matter, you were indeed too excessive at the time." Qi Ruohan's eyes were filled with gentleness and persuasion, hoping Feng Juntao could set aside his pride and admit his mistake.
"This, alright!" Feng Juntao had always been obedient to his wife's words. "Xueqing, your father and grandfather are a bit inconvenienced in moving around, have Yang Lingchen come over, and I will apologize to him!"
"Lingchen, my father has something he wants to say to you." At this moment, Feng Xueqing walked over. Her face carried a hint of shyness and helplessness.
"Wife Xueqing, can I beat up your father?" Yang Lingchen's face carried a hint of mischief and teasing, as if he were intentionally teasing Feng Xueqing.
"You dare!" Feng Xueqing said in a cute, fierce manner.
"I'm just joking, how would I dare to beat up my father-in-law!" Yang Lingchen's face was full of smiles, knowing he was just kidding and wouldn't really do such a thing.
"Let's go!" Feng Xueqing pulled Yang Lingchen and came over to Feng Juntao, her hand tightly holding Yang Lingchen's hand.
"Yang Lingchen, this is my grandfather." Feng Xueqing first introduced Feng Jinyang. Her voice was full of respect and pride.
"Hello, Grandfather, I am Yang Lingchen." Yang Lingchen said respectfully, his face carrying a sincere smile, and his eyes filled with respect for Feng Jinyang.
"Good! Good! Good! Good child, thank you so much for today." Feng Jinyang's face revealed a gratified smile; he was very satisfied with Yang Lingchen as a grandson-in-law.
"Grandfather, you are too polite. This is a healing pill I refined myself; if you don't mind, please take it." Yang Lingchen took out some Great Emperor Realm top-grade healing pills and handed them to Feng Jinyang. Those Medicinal Pills emitted a rich herbal fragrance that made one feel refreshed just by smelling it.
"Emperor Realm top-grade healing pill!" Shock appeared in Feng Jinyang's eyes. This was a top-grade healing pill! It was countless times better than the Elementary Emperor Realm healing pill he had just taken. Even Feng Juntao and Qi Ruohan on the side revealed expressions of shock. They didn't expect Yang Lingchen could produce such precious Medicinal Pills.
"Child, is this really refined by yourself?" Feng Jinyang's voice was filled with doubt and disbelief; after all, refining such top-grade Medicinal Pills required extremely high Alchemy skills and talent.
"It was indeed refined by this Junior himself." Yang Lingchen's tone was firm, and his eyes were full of confidence.
"Truly a Genius youth! Xueqing is truly blessed." Feng Jinyang laughed, his laughter filled with admiration for Yang Lingchen and blessings for Feng Xueqing.
"Yang Lingchen, this is my mother." Feng Xueqing then introduced Qi Ruohan, her voice full of gentleness and affection.
"Hello, Auntie, these are some top-grade beauty pills that this Junior refined; eating them can make you become younger and more beautiful." Yang Lingchen bowed respectfully and presented some beauty pills. Those beauty pills were crystal clear and emitted a charming glow.
"Are there really such Medicinal Pills?" Qi Ruohan said with delight; there are almost no women who do not love beauty. Her eyes were filled with anticipation and longing.
"Of course it is true; Auntie will know once you try them." Yang Lingchen said. His face carried a sincere smile, hoping to make Qi Ruohan feel happy and satisfied.
"Alright then, Auntie will try them later." Qi Ruohan's smile was full of joy and anticipation, as if she had already seen herself becoming more beautiful.
"Yang Lingchen, this is my father." Feng Xueqing's voice carried a hint of nervousness, hoping Yang Lingchen and Feng Juntao could resolve their previous conflict.
"I know him, it's Clan Chief Feng!" Yang Lingchen said.
"Nephew Lingchen, Uncle apologizes to you; it was indeed Uncle's fault before." Feng Juntao's face carried embarrassment and guilt, his eyes full of sincerity.
"Uncle Feng, you are too polite, I never took it to heart! Look, I even brought you gifts! Please accept these top-grade healing pills." Yang Lingchen had just been acting like he wasn't close to him, but after Feng Juntao apologized, his expression instantly became respectful. This way Yang Lingchen flipped his attitude faster than turning a page left Feng Juntao speechless.
But he also knew that Yang Lingchen was intentionally embarrassing him to vent the dissatisfaction in his heart. What Yang Lingchen actually wanted was very simple: just for Feng Juntao to apologize. He was not a narrow-minded person, he just hoped to receive the respect and recognition he deserved.
Next, it was time for the Phoenix Family to handle internal Family matters. Those Phoenix Family Disciples who had betrayed them were now kneeling before the Mountain Gate. Their faces were full of fear and regret, knowing their actions would bring severe consequences.
"Brother-in-law, returning your staff." At this time, Feng Xiaofan returned the heaven-reaching staff to Yang Lingchen. His face carried a hint of fatigue, but his eyes were full of excitement and satisfaction.
"Xiaofan, this is a gift from Brother-in-law." Yang Lingchen took out some Imperial Weapons and top-grade Divine Martial Pills and gave them to Feng Xiaofan. Feng Xiaofan was only thirteen years old now, but his cultivation level had already reached the Divine Martial Realm. His talent and potential were amazing; he was one of the future hopes of the Phoenix Family.
"Thank you, Brother-in-law." Feng Xiaofan said excitedly, "Brother-in-law, why is your strength so strong?" His eyes were filled with curiosity and admiration, as if Yang Lingchen were the hero in his heart.
"If I weren't strong, how could I subdue your sister?" Yang Lingchen chuckled.
"Brother-in-law, I've heard rumors about you. The tianfeng records say you were a eunuch in the Tianfeng Holy Dynasty. Is that true?" Feng Xiaofan asked innocently, his eyes filled with confusion and curiosity; he was full of interest in Yang Lingchen's past.
"Being a eunuch is true, but your brother-in-law, I, am not a real eunuch, understand?" Yang Lingchen's face carried a hint of helplessness and a wry smile.
"Brother-in-law, do you mean you are a fake eunuch?" Feng Xiaofan said excitedly, his voice filled with surprise and curiosity, as if he had discovered a shocking secret.
"Of course." Yang Lingchen's tone was firm; he didn't want to explain too much on this issue.
"Then that's too awesome, right? I heard the imperial palace is full of women!" Feng Xiaofan chuckled.
"Stinky brat, how old are you! You already know these things?" Yang Lingchen's face carried a hint of seriousness and reproach; he didn't want Feng Xiaofan to be exposed to this bad information too early.
"Brother-in-law, I'm not small anymore; in two more years, I can get married." Feng Xiaofan's face carried a hint of stubbornness and defiance, as if proving he had grown up.
