TFHS: Chapter 63

The guests of Fengyu Tower were talking about it.

“The head of the Feng family dotes on his ger too much. It is okay in Qingyun City, where few people can really offend the head of the Feng family, but what type of place is Gaoyang County? Not to mention that Young Master Wu is the cousin of the favored prince. Isn’t Feng Ming going to die?”

“Hiss, five million yuan crystals! Young Master Wu was so provoked by Feng Ming that he spent 5 million to buy a pill. As expected of a prince’s relative, he is generous. But Feng Ming is too irritating. If I was Young Master Wu, it would be impossible for me to let him go.”

“This not only offended Young Master Wu, but also the princes and nobles of Imperial City. Why doesn’t Feng Ming just soar up to heaven?”

……

All he heard was criticism of Feng Ming and the head of the Feng family, who doted on his child too much. The storekeeper couldn’t help scratching his ears and wanting to go out to argue with these drinkers.

He knew the truth. Even if Feng Ming didn’t offend the young master of the Wu family, the young master might not necessarily let Feng Ming go.

It was because the former genius, Bai Qiaomo, was ruined by this Young Master Wu. He was so narrow-minded and not a good person. The city lord also had a lot of opinions about this Young Master Wu.

A waiter whispered to the storekeeper, “Are Young Master Feng and Master Feng really going to have a bad time?”

He didn’t think that Young Master Feng was arrogant and domineering. Why was Young Master Feng Ming unforgivable in the eyes of some people?

Compared to the children of other families, Young Master Feng Ming was always polite to the storekeeper and waiters. He had never done anything to bully others in the city.

The storekeeper shook his head. “Not necessarily. I guess the head of the Feng family has other arrangements. It is fine for Young Master Feng Ming not to return to Qingyun City. It is good for him to stay in Gaoyang County.”

Weaker families like the Song family also felt that this was a good opportunity for them to expand. One after another, they joined the ranks of dividing up the Feng family’s assets.

In a short period of time, the Feng family’s business was harassed by various forces. They forced their way in with various excuses and expelled the original members of the Feng family.

The crowd, who was originally just gossiping, understood the plans of these family forces when they saw such developments.

This also proved from another perspective that Feng Jinlin and his ger were indeed in trouble. They couldn’t keep the assets of Qingyun City, so it was better to let other families divide it up.

Many family forces jumped out. The ones who jumped the highest were the Bai family and Ding family. In fact, the Song family also jumped very happily, which stunned people.

“The Song family, isn’t Song Yunchen known as Young Master Feng Ming’s most loyal suitor? But the largest plantation of the Feng family was occupied by Song Yunchen and his men, right?”

“Tsk, you don’t really believe that Song Yunchen was infatuated with Young Master Feng Ming, do you? If Young Master Feng Ming didn’t have the identity of the young master of the Feng family, and if it wasn’t for the fact that he was so favored, would Song Yunchen put on such an infatuated face and put Young Master Feng Ming first in everything? I have seen through this guy a long time ago, but you still believe him.”

Some unmarried girls and gers were hit hard. Song Yunchen had an outstanding appearance and was humble and polite. Even if his family background wasn’t outstanding, he was definitely a good marriage candidate in Qingyun City.

Many girls and gers developed a crush on him, and many were jealous of Feng Ming for this reason.

Now that Feng Ming was in trouble, Song Yunchen immediately lost his infatuated look and directly took over the Feng family’s property. You know, not long ago, Song Yunchen was still getting drunk for Feng Ming in Fengyu Tower.”

“I was jealous of Feng Ming in vain. Now I can no longer believe in true love. Song, you bastard, you are so disgusting. Go to hell!”’

Just as these forces were feeling proud, the people left behind by the Feng family, the Sheng family and the Flying Feather Mercenary Group quickly acted.

The people who just occupied the Feng family’s property were immediately driven out by the three parties. They weren’t convinced and wanted to fight, but found that they were no match for the other party.

Even though the people who encroached on the Feng family’s assets joined forces, they were defeated by the combined forces of the three parties in the blink of an eye. The people watching this change were shocked. Where did this group of people suddenly come from?

“Extra, extra, I know where these people come from. They are the Flying Feather Mercenary Group from Gaoyang County. It is said that the head of the Feng family specially spent a lot of money to hire them to protect the Feng family’s assets. In addition, the Feng family has reached an agreement with the Sheng family that many assets will be transferred to the Sheng family.”

“Flying Feather Mercenary Group? It seems that the Flying Feather Mercenary Group is very powerful.”

“Yes, the captain of the Flying Feather Mercenary Group is a master of the essence dan realm in Gaoyang County. Which family in Gaoyang County can be their opponent?”

“Hiss, the essence dan realm. There is no essence dan realm expert among the noble families in our Qingyun City. This move by the head of the Feng family is really powerful. He invited such a strong foreign aid.”

“That’s right. So what if the head of the Feng family has offended a noble? He can still deal with the forces in Qingyun City. This time, the Bai and Ding families are in trouble, while the Sheng family has taken advantage.”

“It was the Sheng family who always spoke for the Feng family. The head of the Sheng family and the head of the Feng family have always had a good relationship. Even Sheng Duo, the young master of the Sheng family, previously cursed Song Yunchen and the others. Among these young masters, only Young Master Sheng was sincere to Young Master Feng Ming. The others all came from Young Master Feng Ming’s identity.”

“This is what they call a friend who comes in times of need is a true friend. I have to keep my eyes open in the future.”

It wasn’t just the Sheng family because the Sheng family had no way to swallow up all of the Feng family’s industries. It would be too conspicuous if they did so. There were also some small and medium-sized forces following the Sheng family to take advantage of the situation, allowing their own power to expand rapidly.

The rapid changes in the situation made everyone watch with great interest.

No one expected that this wasn’t the end. One night, a big battle suddenly broke out in the city. Ordinary people and cultivators didn’t dare to come out to watch.

At dawn the next day, news spread in the city that an essence dan realm expert had run into the Feng family in Qingyun City and wanted to kill everyone who stayed behind in the Feng family. However, he was instead schemed against by Captain Xie and City Lord Duan.

The two of them joined forces. With the cooperation of the city guards and cultivators, such as the head of the Sheng family, they captured the invading essence dan realm expert.

As a result of these series of changes, the strength of the Bai and Ding families was greatly damaged. On the contrary, the Sheng family rose rapidly and surpassed these two families. There were other pursuers behind them who stepped on the Song family.

Bai Qiaoyu could hardly believe her eyes and ears. How could this be?

Feng Ming and his father not only didn’t fear Wu Yingyan’s retaliation, but they even dared to resist. Even the Bai family was cheated by them.

This made Bai Qiaoyu’s life in the Bai family a bit difficult. The Bai family didn’t gain any benefits but also got involved in a scandal and didn’t get a good deal with City Lord Duan.

Bai Qiaoyu naturally became the target of their anger.

—

After obtaining the token of the Xuanyue Secret Realm, Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo practiced even more diligently.

In the blink of an eye, Feng Ming opened up ten more meridians for a total of 18. If it was any other cultivator, he would’ve been eager to advance to the qi gathering realm, but Feng Ming held himself back.

As more meridians were opened, Feng Ming also found that his body had become stronger than before.

During this time, he had swallowed a lot of beast blood pills. Originally, his body couldn’t withstand the impact of the medicinal power of the beast blood pills. Now he could withstand it much better.

His alchemy skills improved rapidly. He tried all the first-grade pills he could make and started to explore the second-grade pills.

The first second-grade pill he tried was the second-great beast blood pill, a best-grade second-grade beast blood pill that was useful to both him and Bai Qiaomo.

After wasting several furnaces of pills, the second-grade beast blood pill was successfully produced. The grade wasn’t high, but it meant that Feng Ming had already stepped into the ranks of second-grade alchemists.

Bai Qiaomo practiced day and night, and his cultivation level recovered to the late stage of the qi gathering realm. It was exactly the same strength he had before his dantian was destroyed.

At this time, the Flying Feather Mercenary Group escorted a large group of people to Gaoyang County where Feng Jinlin and Feng Ming lived.

Originally, the arrival of this group of people didn’t attract attention, but their appearance outside the house of the Feng family’s father and child was worthy of everyone’s attention.

Some curious people asked the members of the Flying Feather Mercenary GRoup. Many cultivators knew the members of the Flying Feather Mercenary Group.

“What’s going on with these people? How did they get here?”

The people led by Captain Xie had now successfully completed their mission. They didn’t mind telling the outside world. “I took over the task of the head of the Feng family not long ago. I went to Qingyun City to escort a group of people to Gaoyang County.”

It turned out that they were all Feng Jinlin’s people. Everyone hadn’t expected Feng Jinlin to make such arrangements in private.

Not many people had paid attention to the actions of the Flying Feather Mercenary Group before. It was normal for such a mercenary group to go out of the city frequently to carry out missions.

Someone asked in surprise, “What about the Feng family’s assets in Qingyun City?”

Captain Xie said cheerfully, “They have all been handed over to other family forces. Escorting these properties is also one of our tasks.”

There were many wildebeest carriages in the team. Someone in one of the carriages lifted the curtain and looked out anxiously. “Are we there yet? Where is Feng Ming? Where does he live?”

“Why are you in such a hurry? From what Captain Xie said, we are almost there. We will be able to meet the head of the Feng family and Feng Ming soon. Feng Ming is much more capable than you. He even dared to offend Wu Yingyan.”

They were none other than the mother and son, the head of the Sheng family and Sheng Duo. The head of the Sheng family had come in person to thank Feng Jinlin, while Sheng Duo came to visit Feng Ming and insisted on coming along.

Sheng Duo was reasonable. “Mother, do you want me to do this too?”

The head of the Sheng family choked up. Okay, it would be better for her son to stay in Qingyun City.

She wasn’t as good as Feng Jinlin. In Qingyun City, she could still protect her son. But if he ran to Gaoyang County, she would probably worry so much that her hair would turn white and her lifespan would be shortened.

Feng Ming looked reckless, but he was actually smart. As a mother, she had to admit that her son was a bit worse than Feng Ming.

Upon receiving the news, Feng Jinlin along with his ger and son-in-law, and all the people who stayed here, opened the door to welcome the guests.

There were more people willing to leave Qingyun City and continue following Feng Jinlin than expected. This made Feng Jinlin very happy. After all, not everyone could make up their minds to leave their homes and career to venture to a strange place.

For those who stayed, Feng Jinlin asked the housekeeper to give them a lot of resettlement fees to ensure they would have a worry-free life in the future. Many of them were left to the Sheng family so they could have a job to support their families.

More than a hundred people entered the house in a mighty procession, shutting out the eyes of curious people.

All parties who were concerned about Feng Jinlin and his child didn’t expect that the crisis of the Feng family in Qingyun City would end in this way.
