Gong Yuming felt a bit strange at being unable to get a satisfactory answer from Feng Ming.
But it didn’t matter. He had already asked people to keep an eye on the developments in Qingyun City. He could always find out from actual experience how Feng Ming and his father responded.
On the way back from the restaurant, Bai Qiaomo asked worriedly, “How will Uncle handle this?”
The Feng family’s growing industry in Qingyun City would naturally draw the displeasure of the original family forces, such as his Bai family and the Ding family. As long as they found an opportunity, they would definitely pounce and take a bite.
Feng Ming asked, “Don’t you believe in my father? There is no way my father hasn’t thought about these things.”
He added, “I haven’t asked my father about it, but I feel that after my father advances to the essence dan realm, Qingyun City will be too small for him. The reason why my father stayed in Qingyun City to build the family business was actually for me. He was worried that I wouldn’t be able to cultivate and my lifespan would only be a hundred years. So staying in Qingyun City and becoming a rich person would be the best outcome for me.”
“Does my father have such worries now? In fact, this incident isn’t a bad opportunity for my father. It is just right for him to leave Qingyun City and avoid delaying his future. My father should continue to strive for progress.”
“I will be able to walk sideways in the Feihong Continent if my father can become a powerhouse in the soul opening realm, haha.”
It seemed quite serious at first, but why did it become so frivolous later on?
Bai Qiaomo didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but he also felt that what Feng Ming said made sense.
If he continued to stay in Qingyun City, the world of Qingyun City would indeed be too small for Feng JInlin.
How could the master of a small family in Qingyun City act as wantonly as the leader of the Wind Eagle Mercenary Group in his previous life?
“Just go back and ask my father directly. As long as I ask, my father basically won’t hide these things from me.”
Bai Qiaomo was quite envious of the father-child relationship between Feng Ming and Feng Jinlin. This was something he had never enjoyed in his two lives.
He thought his father had valued and loved him.
However, the relationship between father and son was so fragile that it couldn’t withstand the slightest touch and shattered like glass.
After returning to their temporary residence, Feng Ming immediately took Bai Qiaomo to find his father.
Feng Jinlin was in a good mood when he saw them. He had been busy for two days. Today, he was finally a bit more relaxed.
Feng Ming immediately came up to pour tea for his father and beat his shoulders, looking like a caring ger. This made Feng Jinlin happy, and he asked, “Tell me, what do you want to ask me?”
Feng Ming laughed. “Hehe, I went out with Brother Bai and ran into Gong Yuming. I learned from him that Wu Yingyan wanted to attack our Feng family’s business. Dad, what did you do?”
Feng Jinlin reached out and tapped Feng Ming’s head. “Don’t you want to go to Sihong Academy? Once you come out of the Xuanyue Secret realm, you and Qiaomo should go there. Your father and Aunt Yue will focus on developing the Wind Eagle Mercenary Group.”
“The world is so big that a small Wu family can’t control it. Even if the Wu family can dominate the Dongmu Dynasty, there are other places to go in this Feihong Continent.”
Feng Ming immediately gave his father a thumbs up. “Dad, you are indeed the most powerful. What about the other members of the Feng family? What about the industries in Qingyun City?”
Feng Jinlin really wouldn’t hide anything from his son. Bai Qiaomo was also present to listen to the arrangements he made over the past two days.
“Didn’t I meet with Captain Xie of the Flying Feather Mercenary Group that day? I talked to Captain Xie about cooperation and hired them to go to Qingyun City to deal with the industries over there as well as settle the people who will stay there.”
“The Flying Feather Mercenary Group is quite powerful, and Captain Xie is straightforward. There will be no problem handing this matter over to them. As for the Feng family’s assets, I believe the Sheng family will be very interested and willing to take over part of them.”
“I know very well the ideas of the other families. How can I let them get their wish?”
As the Flying Feather Mercenary Group headed towards Qingyun City, they also brought two letters that he wrote to the head of the Sheng family and City Lord Duan.
No matter whether it was the plans of the Bai family, Ding family or Song family, they were all destined to fail.
Bai Qiaomo had previously been guessing about how Feng Jinlin would make the most appropriate arrangements. He hadn’t expected Feng Jinlin to start cooperating with the Flying Feather Mercenary Group so soon.
All these decisions were made within two days. Just because his dantian was repaired and Feng Ming’s problem could be solved, Feng Jinlin gave up everything in Qingyun City without any regrets.
Bai Qiamo admired his neat and decisive style of doing things, especially the fact that he took Feng Ming as the starting point for everything. This made him even more envious.
After knowing that his father had arranged everything, Feng Ming focused on studying and practicing while waiting for news from Qingyun City.
One time, he came out of the pharmacy room and learned that Aunt Feng Yue had quietly left Gaoyang County.
There was no sound from Feng Ming. The Wind Eagle Mercenary Group that Aunt Yue was developing was actually the force that his father was focused on developing.
In addition to Gong Yuming, who was keeping an eye on the situation in Qingyun City, some other forces were also paying attention to it, especially when they saw that the Feng family did nothing about it. In their opinion, the small business that Feng Jinlin had developed in Qingyun City wouldn’t be able to withstand Wu Yingyan’s attack.
Feng Jinlin stayed in Gaoyang County with his ger and son-in-law without returning to Qingyun City. Did he know he couldn’t go back, so he simply gave up everything in Qingyun City and hid in Gaoyang County to survive?
Feng Jinghuai was very puzzled. The little tricks that Wu Yingyan did in private could be hidden from other cultivators, but could he hide them from the four major families in Gaoyang County?”
“Grandfather, what do my cousin and uncle mean? Does the head of the family really intend to let this happen?”
“Wu Yingyan knows about the relationship between Uncle and the head of the family but still attacked the Feng family of Qingyun City. Isn’t this too disrespectful to our Feng family?”
Feng Songhai sighed. “Only the head of the family knows what he is thinking. Others can’t guess it. I, your grandfather, have never seen through him in all these years. Well, I can’t control what happens in Qingyun City but I can pay a bit of attention in Gaoyang County to prevent others from bullying them.”
“At the very least, they are safe in Gaoyang County.”
However, Feng Songhai felt that with his nephew’s personality, this person would never admit defeat.
Among all the children of the Feng family, his nephew was actually the most stubborn one. How could he not fight back against Wu Yingyan’s little tricks?
What exactly was Feng Jinlin planning? He felt that his nephew was just like the head of the family. He couldn’t see through this person.
Captain Xie of the Flying Feather Mercenary Group personally led people and rushed to Qingyun City through the air passage at the fastest speed. He was at the essence dan realm, which made him a top master in a place like Qingyun City.
The moment they entered the city, they split into two groups. One group was headed by him and personally delivered a letter to City Lord Duan, while the other group went to the Sheng family to deliver a letter to the head of the Sheng family.
By the time Captain Xie arrived, news had already spread in Qingyun City. Even the guests in Fengyu Tower were talking about it. Feng Jinlin and his ger had offended a big shot in Gaoyang County and were in trouble.
The head of the Sheng family had also heard about it. She had news channels in Gaoyang County, so she knew that this matter was true.
But Feng Jinlin’s life experience made her unsure if Feng Jinlin and Feng Ming were in danger or not.
At this time, someone from the Flying Feather Mercenary Group came to deliver a letter and specifically asked that it be handed to Master Sheng. Master Sheng heard that it was related to Master Feng and immediately rushed over to read the letter.
There was a look of surprise on the face of the head of the Sheng family after reading the Sheng family. Feng Jinlin was indeed in trouble as the rumors said, but it wasn’t as bad as outsiders thought, and that Feng Jinlin and his ger were doomed.
However, Feng Jinlin and his child would no longer return to Qingyun City. This made her feel a bit regretful but also surprised.
It was because Feng Jinlin wanted to transfer part of the Feng family’s assets to the Sheng family. It depended on how much pressure the Sheng family could withstand and how much they could swallow.
However, with the help of the Flying Feather Mercenary Group and the intimidation of City Lord Duan, the head of the Sheng family felt full of heroic spirit.
This was an opportunity for the Sheng family to expand. The benefits were right in front of her. How could she refuse?
The head of the Sheng family immediately arranged for people to take care of the Flying Feather Mercenary Group. Then she turned around to convene a family meeting to discuss family affairs. At the meeting, the family elders and important managers were all excited. Of course, they had to follow the leader of the family to the end.
The Flying Feather Mercenary Group declined the Sheng family’s kindness and headed to the Feng family. The Feng family’s housekeeper was waiting for the mercenary group to come.
He had received the news first. The head of the family sent people back to protect and settle them. All the housekeeper had to do was cooperate with the mercenary group and City Lord Duan.
Even if the chief gave up his family business in Qingyun City, he would make sure they were properly settled before leaving. Of course, those who were willing to continue following the chief could leave with the mercenary group.
These days, those who stayed in the Feng family in Qingyun City were under a lot of pressure.
City Lord Duan saw the letter delivered by Captain Xie personally and was a bit surprised that Feng Jinlin chose not to return to Qingyun City. Of course, he knew the reason why Feng Jinlin chose to settle down in Qingyun City. Then what about now?
Could Feng Ming’s problem be solved? Would Feng JInlin no longer have to worry?
He knew more about everything that happened in Gaoyang County than the head of the Sheng family. He even knew about the scene where Feng Ming teased Wu Yingyan at the auction. He didn’t expect Feng Ming to be so mischievous. Now few people in Gaoyang County didn’t know Feng Ming.
He finished reading the letter and said, “Thank you, Captain Xie, for making this trip in person. I will cooperate with Master Feng. What the families in Qingyun City do in private has nothing to do with me, but I won’t allow outsiders to interfere. Please rest assured, Captain Xie. I can still withstand this pressure.”
“That’s good. I will stay in Qingyun City and cooperate with City Lord Duan until the crisis is resolved.”
“Okay, I am very happy to have the opportunity to communicate with Captain Xie.”
“It is the same for me.”
Just after the Flying Feather Mercenary Group arrived, Bai Qiaoyu also returned to Qingyun City.
Bai Qiaoyu almost burst into tears stepping into the familiar city. She was finally back, but unfortunately, she wasn’t returning in glory.
Still, it didn’t matter. There were those who were worse off than her. They had offended the young master of the Wu family. She wanted to watch how Feng Ming suffered.
After Bai Qiaoyu returned to the Bai family, she asked to see the head of the family. She described to him in detail everything that happened in Gao County, especially how the idiot Feng Ming had offended the young master of the Wu family.
The head of the Bai family was shocked when he heard this. He hadn’t expected Feng Ming to be so presumptuous and bold that he thought Gaoyang County was Qingyun City. Could his father stop everything for him?
At this time, the head of the family was glad that Bai Qiaomo had married into the Feng family instead of Feng Ming marrying into the Bai family. Otherwise, with that type of personality, who knew how much of a crisis it would bring to the Bai family?
But at the same time, he became excited. This was an opportunity for the Bai family to expand. How could Feng Ming end up well after offending the Wu family, who had a favored concubine and a prince as a relative?
The four major families in Gaoyang County didn’t need to praise Wu Yingyan everywhere, but for the Bai family in Qingyun City, the Wu family where Wu Yingyan was located was a behemoth.
There had been rumors before, and they had received news, but it wasn’t as specific and real as what Bai Qiaoyu saw and heard with her own eyes and ears.
The head of the Bai family turned around and became busy as well. He had to seize the opportunity to tear off a huge chunk of meat from the Feng family and expand the power of the Bai family.
It didn’t take long for the rumors about Feng JInlin and her ger offending a noble in Gaoyang City to spread very loudly.
Before, the cultivators of Qingyun City only knew that Feng Ming had offended an important figure, but they weren’t very clear about the background of this important figure.
Now someone informed them of the Wu family’s background and the identity of Wu Yingyan, the eldest son of the Wu family. Everyone was shocked.
Even the Bai family thought that the Wu family was a behemoth. The other cultivators in the city could only feel that what Feng Ming did was too irrational.
