TFHS: Chapter 97

After Feng Jinlin and his group left Gaoyang County, there were still people talking about them at first. After all, their family was prominent in Gaoyang County. Even Feng Ming, a good-for-nothing ger, dared to cheat Wu Yingyan at the auction.

However, the topic of the Wu and Wen brothers was too hot later. How many cultivators joined the search for their whereabouts? Then Jiang Qian came to Gaoyang County to attack the Wan family. There were so many explosive incidents. How could the cultivators of Gaoyang County still remember the family of three?

Even the aristocratic families of Gaoyang County took action when they saw the opportunity during the Jiang Qian incident, trying to take a piece of flesh from the Wan family. The Wan family was also thinking about how to preserve their own family.

Currently, the City Lord’s Mansion and Lord Zong were in control so no major disputes dared to occur. Nevertheless, there were a lot of disputes in private, especially around the Wan family’s properties outside the city.

It was hard to say that there was no push from the City Lord’s Mansion behind this, but all the forces on the scene had a tacit understanding, not to mention the attitude of the City Lord’s Mansion.

In the end, apart from a few big forces, who among the middle and lower level forces and cultivators would notice that part of the Wan family’s property had fallen into the hands of the City Lord’s Mansion?

The other major forces also benefited. The only unlucky one was the Wan family.

The Wan family could only survive with its tail between its legs. Fortunately, after paying a price, the Wan family still had a foothold in Gaoyang County.

The other parties were afraid of forcing the Wan family too hard in case the Wan family desperately wanted to die with them. This wouldn’t be worth the loss for other forces.

Of course, the Wan family also hated Jiang Qian, Lord Zong of the City Lord’s Mansion, and other aristocratic families of Gaoyang County who had forced the Wan family.

They also hated the source of everything, the dispute between Feng Ming and Wu Yingyan.

Without this source, the Wan family wouldn’t have been dragged into this chaos.

Who would’ve thought that this would all be caused by a little ger coming to Gaoyang County?

No matter how hateful it was, the Wan family didn’t dare to act rashly at this moment. The best strategy was to lie low and develop in a low profile.

However, as the Wan family was accumulating strength in an attempt to rise again, the other aristocratic families would try to stop them. None of them wanted the Wan family to return to its original position.

At this moment, the news from Gong Yuming quickly spread throughout Gaoyang County.

Many people had forgotten about Feng Ming, but news about him came out again, and it was really exciting this time.

After leaving Gaoyang County, Feng Ming was still restless and went to Sihong Academy to become the disciple of Yu Xiao, a fifth-grade alchemist!

The whole city exploded!

Various aristocratic families also exploded!

How was this possible? How did Feng Ming do it?

Why was a ger so evil? Previously when Wu Yingyan confronted him, he was tricked out of yuan crystals and also failed to take revenge on the ger and the people behind him.

The Wan family was implicated by Wu Yingyan and the Wu family.

Last time, others were afraid of the power of the Feng family and didn’t dare to take any action against the ger when he was in Gaoyang County. They didn’t expect that the ger could still be so active after leaving Gaoyang County.

The power of the Feng family and the head of the family couldn’t extend that far outside. If Feng Ming could achieve this result, it must not be done by the head of the Feng family. Otherwise, the head of the Feng family would’ve sent his direct descendants in.

Feng Jinghuai was both surprised yet not surprised. He knew that Feng Ming wasn’t a useless person who couldn’t cultivate as outsiders thought. He was one of the Wen and Wu brothers.

But being able to become the seventh disciple under Senior Yu was really beyond Feng Jinghuai’s expectations.

Based on this alone, all the children of the Feng family were unable to catch up. One could imagine how much trouble this would cause within the children of the Feng family.

From the perspective of the children of the Feng family, what was the use of being arrogant? It didn’t matter, even if his father was a strong man in the essence dan realm. Feng Ming was still a useless person in cultivation. In the end, he was destined to have no room for improvement.

Meanwhile, their future had unlimited possibilities. Thus, they still had a sense of superiority in their hearts.

Now, Feng Ming had become Yu Xiao’s seventh disciple. He was destined to be a promising alchemist. Would he still be a waste in cultivation?

It was simply impossible. It was impossible for Yu Xiao to accept a waste as his disciple and teach him with all his heart.

Did Feng Jinlin find some heavenly treasures to cure Feng Ming’s body, or did the father and child team up to act and deceive everyone? In fact, Feng Ming actually wasn’t useless in cultivation?

No one knew what the truth was.

Feng Songhai was shocked and reported the matter to the head of the family after confirming that the news was true.

The head of the Feng family remained calm. He only slightly raised an eyebrow to show his surprise. “This ger is quite capable. It seems that he had gained confidence since he was in Gaoyang County.”

Feng Songhai’s expression was hard to describe. Feng Ming had become Yu Xiao’s disciple. This meant that Feng Ming’s value and future had surpassed Feng Linlang.

Who would’ve thought that not long ago, this ger was a useless chess piece that replaced Feng Linlang?

“Master, Linlang is also at Sihong Academy. Now that Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo have entered Sihong Academy, the three of them will eventually bump into each other.”

The head of the Feng family wasn’t worried at all about how Feng Linlang would deal with this situation or whether she could get out of it. He said mercilessly, “The family helped Feng Linlang once before. This time, she has to deal with it on her own. This is all her own choice.”

“Sixth Brother, haven’t you figured it out yet? The young eagle needs to be released to experience storms because it can grow strong and healthy. It has always been under the protection of the family, and lacks a lot compared to one who has been released.”

Feng Songhai secretly thought to himself that the head of the family had also found that Feng Jintai had some shortcomings compared to Feng Jinlin.

In the next generation, it was hard to say who would be more outstanding in the end between Feng Linlang and Feng Ming. However, Feng Linlang’s future would be limited if she couldn’t pass this hurdle.

The head of the Feng family said, “Let’s find a time to discuss it. The clan rules should be changed, lest these clan members become too comfortable and lose their courage.”

Feng Songhai suddenly felt that the head of the family wanted to train a group of wolves. He probably didn’t care about how many wolf cubs would die during the training process.

The children of the Gong family paid more attention to Feng Ming because of Gong Yuming, but the news still made them feel incredible.

“Brother Ming suddenly left Gaoyang County and said he wanted to enter Sihong Academy. He must’ve gone there for Feng Ming. What is Brother Ming planning? No matter how outstanding Feng Ming is, he is already married.”

“What are you thinking about? Brother Ming will beat you up if he hears this. He regards Feng Ming as a similar friend and a good brother. He doesn’t like him in the way you said.”

In other words, Brother Mign didn’t even think of Feng Ming as a ger. He just thought of him as a man who smells similar.”

“You dare to say that he smells in front of Brother Ming?”

“Say, do you think Brother Ming guessed this a long time ago? Why did he rush to Sihong Academy? Could it be that Brother Ming already discovered that Feng Ming isn’t a useless person in cultivation like the outside world said he was?”

“It is too late to say anything now. We used to look down on Feng Ming, but we have to be more respectful when we meet him next time. We might even have to find ways to please him. Among the first six disciples of Senior Yu Xiao, none of them are bad at alchemy. They are all fourth-grade alchemists. Feng Ming is the seventh disciple, and he will definitely achieve great things in the future.”

“Sure enough, Brother Ming has the best vision among all of us.”

Captain Xie and Vice-captain Lin of the Flying Feathers mercenary group were also discussing this matter. Their attitudes were similar to Feng Jinghuai. Others didn’t know Feng Ming’s true identity, but they knew a bit about it. However, they didn’t know that Feng Ming had such great talent in alchemy.

“I didn’t expect that after Brother Feng left, someone would really come to investigate the people in our mercenary group who entered the Xuanyue secret realm. Fortunately, Brother Feng had already given instructions or this matter would be difficult to deal with.”

Lin Yin nodded. “Brother Feng is very considerate. He wouldn’t leave such an obvious loophole for people to exploit. However, even though those who came to investigate knew that the two places belonged to Brother Feng, I don’t think anyone would suspect Brother Feng’s ger and son-in-law.”

Captain Xie laughed. “Now that the news from Sihong Academy has come, I can tell these people in a straightforward manner that Feng Ming isn’t a useless person in cultivation, but I think those people haven’t realized that Feng Ming is related to the Wen and Wu brothers. I don’t know when they can find the right direction.”

Lin Yi said, “It would be better if they can’t find it. Now Sihong Academy has only revealed Feng Ming’s identity as an alchemist. Regarding Bai Qiaomo, not a lot of news has come out. Maybe outsiders thought that Bai Qiaomo was able to enter Sihong Academy only because he was attached to Feng Ming.”

Captain Xie added, “If we hadn’t accidentally known the truth and someone else had told us, we probably wouldn’t have dared to believe it.”

“Of course.”

The cultivators in the teahouses and restaurants were the most enthusiastic about talking about Feng Ming. After all, in the entire Gaoyang County, something that a child from the aristocratic families couldn’t do was done by a ger who was thought to be a waste in cultivation. This ger also married Bai Qiaomo in place of Feng Linlang.

In the past, when discussing this matter, everyone would try to cover up for the Feng family. Now they were much more straightforward. Who still didn’t understand why this marriage came about?

However, now looking at the development momentum of Feng Ming, it was even more rapid than Feng Linlang, the daughter of the Feng family.

“What do you think the Feng family is thinking? One is a newly promoted essence dan realm expert and the other has become the seventh disciple of Senior Yu, a fifth-grade alchemist. But the Feng family actually ignores the father and child. If Feng Ming hadn’t come forward to clarify our identities, outsiders would’ve thought that they were a remote branch of the Feng family.”

“He chose to sacrifice his son and Feng Ming back then. Now he is embarrassed to call them back to the family. Besides, they were sacrificed back then and Senior Feng Jinlin dotes on his child. Would he still be willing to accept it if the family calls him back?” He grew to be a powerful person in the essence dan realm without relying on the family’s protection and resources.”

“I have to say that Senior Feng Jinlin is a role model for our generation. A cultivator should be as good as the senior. Even without the support of the family, one can still become strong on their own.”

“Yes, aren’t there also the Wen and Wu brothers who played tricks on all the major forces? They can’t be caught at all. The most ridiculous thing is that no one knows who the other party is.”

“That’s right. Since the secret realm was closed, no definite news has come out. I’m afraid that this identity is completely fictitious. How can it be traced? Haha.”

“Tsk tsk, 50 million and a sixth-grade spiritual plant. What a pity.”

“You don’t know but I have reliable information. All parties are watching the main stores in major counties and cities. If someone has been squandering yuan crystals recently, it might be related to the Wen and Wu brothers. However, after watching for a long time, I found nothing.”
