Patriarch Feng Changge and his family sat in the main hall of the Feng Residence.
Feng Changge used to be a soldier on the battlefield. He was tall, strong, and extremely bold. Every single move he made carried murderous intent. However, at this moment, this former soldier had a slightly worried expression on his face.
His adopted son, Long Yu, had gone missing early in the morning!
One must know that Long Yu was the son of an old friend of his. He treated Long Yu better than he treated his own daughter. Now that Long Yu had gone missing, it was easy to imagine how he was feeling!
Apart from Patriarch Feng Changge, there was also a beautiful girl in a light green dress. She was Feng Changge's daughter, the genius Martial Cultivator, Feng Yao.
Feng Yao had joined the Ice Sect, one of the seven major sects of Tang Empire. She was talented in cultivation and was now an inner disciple of the Ice Sect. Her cultivation had reached the Seventh Stage of the Martial Path!
At this moment, there was no expression on this beautiful young lady's face. She wore an indifferent expression.
She didn't seem to care about Long Yu's disappearance at all.
Apart from Feng Changge and Feng Yao, there was also a luxuriously dressed middle-aged woman in the main hall. She was Feng Yao's mother and Feng Changge's wife, Liu Yu.
"Feng Changge, what are you waiting for?"
The middle-aged noblewoman, Liu Yu, said to Feng Changge with a cold look on her face, "Yao 'er is in a hurry to return to the Ice Sect to cultivate. I don't have time to waste with you!"
It was easy to see that Liu Yu and Feng Changge were husband and wife, but they didn't have a good relationship.
Feng Changge glared at Liu Yu and asked angrily, "How dare you say that? I just asked you last night if Yu should marry Yao 'er. Why did he go missing early in the morning? Explain yourself! "
Liu Yu said disdainfully, "What's there to explain? He's just a piece of trash. How can he be worthy of our Yao 'er? Anyone can kill a piece of trash like him once he leaves the Feng Residence. Even if he really dies, he deserves it! "
Feng Changge roared, "Shut up!"
The hall fell silent for a moment after the angry shout. The anger in Feng Changge's heart was quickly replaced by worry and anxiety.
Just as Liu Yu said, Long Yu was an ordinary person who couldn't cultivate. If he left the Feng Residence, it would be extremely easy for him to encounter mishaps.
After a while, the indifferent Feng Yao suddenly stood up and turned towards the door. Her voice, as clear as a sparrow's, rang out, "I still have matters to attend to in the sect. I'll be leaving first."
Feng Changge curbed his temper as he faced his daughter. He frowned and asked, "You've only been back for two days. Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
Feng Yao didn't even turn her head, she said lightly, "I came back to pick a suitable combat weapon. Now that I have father's sword, there's no need for me to stay here any longer. I'd better return to the sect to cultivate."
After saying that, she walked towards the entrance of the hall with light steps.
However, when she looked up, she saw a young man dressed in black walking towards her. The young man had a smile on his face. It was Long Yu who had just returned from outside the city!
Feng Yao could not help but frown.
"Little Yao, why are you leaving so soon?"
Long Yu walked over, the corners of his mouth curling up.
Feng Yao, the genius girl who had recently risen to fame, could be considered as his sworn sister.
He had heard some of the conversation between the three people in the hall and shook his head when he learned that his godfather, Feng Changge, wanted to betroth Feng Yao to him.
Although his godfather was good to him, it was too good to be true!
Feng Changge, who was originally sitting in the hall, immediately stood up when he saw Long Yu's black-clad figure. His face was filled with joy. Thank goodness this kid is fine!
As for the middle-aged noblewoman, Liu Yu, she looked displeased and did not want to talk to Long Yu who had just returned.
"Mm."
Feng Yao's brows furrowed slightly as she nodded.
It was as if she was puzzled to see Long Yu again.
She slowly strode forward, her graceful figure drifting towards the exit, as though she didn't see Long Yu. Very quickly, she brushed past Long Yu.
Long Yu didn't say much and just walked towards the hall. Just as he was about to brush past Feng Yao, he suddenly said something.
His words made Feng Yao stop in her tracks.
"Godfather, two servants brought me to the river outside the city this morning and tried to silence me. However, an unexpected person appeared at the most crucial moment and saved me …"
Long Yu said this to Feng Changge. Of course, he had purposely said it to Feng Yao to see her reaction.
They wanted to silence him!
Feng Changge's good mood instantly vanished and his face darkened. The servants of the Feng Clan had brought Long Yu out to silence him? How audacious!
In the hall, the middle-aged lady, Liu Yu, was also shocked. She did not expect something like this to happen.
As for Feng Yao, who had brushed past Long Yu, she stopped in her tracks and asked subconsciously, "Who was the person who saved you?"
Although her tone was calm, Long Yu had lived two lives and had dealt with life and death countless times. He was very familiar with people's hearts. There was a slight tremble in the depths of her calm voice. It was obvious that Feng Yao was not feeling calm at the moment!
It was undoubtedly her.
Long Yu was absolutely sure that the two servants had been ordered by Feng Yao to kill him!
"Little Yao, aren't you in a hurry to return to the Ice Sect? You don't have to bother yourself with such irrelevant matters. "
Long Yu chuckled and walked past her into the hall!
Although he wanted to take revenge, he was no match for Feng Yao with his current strength. Most importantly, Feng Yao was Feng Changge's daughter!
"Hmph."
Feng Yao also realized that her reaction was a little over the top. She snorted lightly and left without looking back.
Feng Changge, who was in the main hall, had naturally seen her reaction, causing him to frown deeply. Could it be that Feng Yao had instructed her two servants to kill Long Yu?
Based on Feng Changge's understanding of his daughter, it was indeed possible that she would do such a thing!
Ever since that incident when she was young, Feng Yao's desire for strength had reached a level that ordinary people could only look up to. In her eyes, there was only strength. She was determined to get rid of anything that stood in her way of improving her strength.
Feng Changge suddenly realized that he had harmed Long Yu by wanting to marry Feng Yao. As an ordinary person who could not cultivate, even if Feng Yao did not mind, Long Yu would not end up well with Feng Yao in the future!
"Hmph."
The middle-aged lady, Liu Yu, snorted coldly.
She had never been nice to Long Yu. She was about to say something when Feng Changge scolded her, "Liu Yu, leave us for now."
Liu Yu knew that her husband was furious when she saw Feng Changge's stern expression.
"You good-for-nothing brat, you're lucky that someone saved you in this situation. Listen to me, you good-for-nothing toad. Don't keep thinking about eating swan meat. Which part of you is worthy of my Yao 'er? "
Liu Yu said disdainfully and left the hall.
Thinking about eating swan meat all day?
Long Yu was stunned. This shrew was really full of herself!
Of course, she was Feng Changge's wife, so Long Yu could not be bothered to argue with her.
Soon, only Long Yu and Feng Changge were left in the Feng Family's hall.
Feng Changge sat down at the head of the table and called out to Long Yu, "Little Yu, don't take what I said seriously. Come, sit down and tell me what happened."
"Godfather."
Long Yu went over and sat beside him. After pondering for a moment, he quickly decided what to say.
His godfather, Feng Changge, was an old friend of his father's. He had raised him since he was young and was indebted to him. Without Feng Changge, Long Yu, a good-for-nothing who could not cultivate, would not have been able to live peacefully until now.
But now, Feng Changge's biological daughter had instructed her servants to kill Long Yu. This was revenge, and revenge must be taken. That was the belief that Long Yu had always adhered to!
However, Feng Yao was Feng Changge's biological daughter. Gratitude and hatred were intertwined. If it were anyone else, they would not know how to handle this matter.
"Kindness comes first, revenge comes later. I'll repay the kindness first, then revenge!"
Long Yu quickly made up his mind. He could clearly distinguish between kindness and hatred.
If he really wanted to take revenge and kill Feng Yao, he would have to repay Feng Changge's kindness first. Otherwise, he would feel guilty. Now that he had entered the Martial Path, it was taboo to feel guilty.
Of course, whether it was to repay kindness or to take revenge, he needed to have a stronger cultivation. Otherwise, both would just be empty talk.
After thinking it through, Long Yu began to explain: "This morning, two family servants came to find me, saying that the Patriarch had ordered me to go out and buy some sundries. I did not suspect anything, so I followed them out of the city. When we reached the river outside the city, they suddenly attacked and wanted to kill me … Foster father, actually, the unexpected person I mentioned just now simply did not exist. It was a blessing in disguise that I was able to come back alive. I happened to enter the Martial Path at that time! "
Entered the Martial Path!
The last five words were like a bolt of lightning. Feng Changge's face was immediately filled with excitement.
"Little Yu, you can cultivate now?"
