Feng Tianming sighed and revealed a helpless expression. He muttered, "If only I could be like Great Grandfather and become a Martial Sage, Xue`er would not have to suffer like this."
"You don't have to look for Xiao Chen at this time. Our Feng Family owes him too much."
From the bottom of his heart, Feng Tianming did not want to trouble Xiao Chen. However, the old man had passed away. The huge Feng Clan was no longer something that he could control alone. Many people who were eyeing the position of Clan Head started to use Feng Feixue's marriage as an excuse to attack him.
If Xiao Chen wanted to get those people to shut up and not let Feng Feixue suffer, he could only get Xiao Chen to make an appearance; there was no other way.
Ying Yue said softly, It's fine. Even if Xiao Chen knows why your cousin left the Xiao Clan back then, he will not go back on his promise.
"He is a man of his word. Xiao Chen is such a person. He doesn't make promises, but once he does, he will do his best to fulfill them."
Dong dong dong!
As the two conversed, someone knocked on the door. Feng Tianming went to open the door and discovered the waiter.
"Dear guests, there is a white-robed bladesman downstairs. He says he wants to see you."
Ying Yue and Feng Tianming exchanged glances and revealed expressions of joy. Xiao Chen finally arrived.
It would not be difficult for Xiao Chen to find out where Ying Yue and Feng Tianming were in Saber City. The City Lord's Residence would definitely know the whereabouts of such important people.
Xiao Chen followed the waiter and carried the black, squarish wooden box on his back. Soon, he arrived at Ying Yue's booth.
"I'm sorry. I've prepared too much and made the two of you wait." Xiao Chen cupped his hands and apologized.
When Feng Tianming felt the dense Quintessence aura from Xiao Chen's body, a look of astonishment flashed in his eyes. There was also a complicated feeling in his heart.
Ying Yue stood up and said, "It's fine. Let's go now. This is the Feng Clan's Clan Head, Feng Tianming. He is also Feng Feixue's father."
Feng Tianming recovered his wits and said seriously, "Many thanks for your help. Right now, it is very urgent. We can talk about some things on the way. Let's fly back to the Imperial Capital first."
…
Above the Nine Heavens, a huge golden bird stretched out its huge wings, which had a wingspan of over three hundred zhang. It soared through the clouds at six times the speed of sound, breaking through the sky.
Eight people stood on the back of the bird. Aside from Xiao Chen's group of three, there were five of Feng Tianming's bodyguards. These bodyguards were all peak Inferior Grade Martial Monarchs. Together, they were a strong force.
Feng Tianming explained the situation to Xiao Chen. The Martial Sage of the Feng Clan had passed away, and Feng Tianming's elder brothers had fought for the position of Clan Head.
Using Feng Tianming's rejection of the marriage alliance with the Wan Clan as an excuse, they worked together to make things difficult for him, forcing him to fulfill his original promise, allowing the Wan Clan's Young Master to marry Feng Feixue as soon as possible.
Feng Tianming respected Feng Feixue's opinion and did not agree. This caused the group of people to reach a stalemate.
Furthermore, for some reason, the Wan Clan's attitude had become abnormally unyielding. With the secret support of the Wan Clan, those people placed Feng Feixue under house arrest, not allowing her to go out.
After Xiao Chen heard everything, he entered deep thought. Then, he said, "You mean that if I go over, they will not dare to force Feng Feixue to marry Feng Feixue?"
Feng Tianming remained silent for a while before replying, "That is indeed the case. For hundreds and thousands of years, the Xiao Clan and the Feng Clan had always been connected by marriage. This was the ancestral teachings, which only ended during your parents' generation. Because the Blue Dragon Martial Spirit disappeared and the Xiao Clan declined, the Feng Clan ended the ancestral teachings.
"Now, you possess the Blue Dragon Martial Spirit and are the top ranker of the True Dragon Ranking. If you say that you want to marry Feng Feixue, that group of people will not dare to say anything."
After saying this, Feng Tianming carefully observed Xiao Chen's expression. After all, his cousin, Xiao Chen's birth mother, had been Feng Feixue's cousin.
Because she had looked down on Xiao Chen's father's cultivation and the marriage was arranged by the elders, she had no feelings for him. After giving birth to Xiao Chen, she had left the Xiao Clan.
To Xiao Chen's father, this was a great humiliation. He was afraid that this matter would upset Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen's expression did not change. However, great waves surged in his mind. No wonder when Feng Feixue came to the Xiao Clan, his father did not even want to see her.
No wonder his father was unwilling to seek help from the Feng Clan during the Xiao Clan's most critical moment.
It turned out that he had suffered such humiliation in the past. For the sake of getting rid of him, a woman had even abandoned the son she had just given birth to. This was a huge blow to a man's pride.
Xiao Chen calmed himself and said, "Let's talk when we get there. The matters of my father's generation have nothing to do with me. It will not affect my decision."
When Feng Tianming heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief and did not say anything more.
Five days later, after passing through countless cities, the group finally arrived at the bustling Imperial Capital. Then, they landed in front of the huge Feng Clan residence.
"Greetings, Clan Head!"
"Greetings, Clan Head!"
The two rows of guards in front of the residence bowed respectfully and greeted Feng Tianming. The doors to the residence opened, and a person who looked like a housekeeper came out.
Feng Tianming quickly led the group into the residence. The Feng Clan residence occupied a large area. As the group passed through several gardens and corridors, they met countless servants along the way.
Several people paid attention to Xiao Chen, whispering to each other. They wondered if he was the genius King Grade White Robed Bladesman on the True Dragon Ranking.
"Uncle Fu, call my big brother and the others to the great hall. I have something to say to him," Feng Tianming said to the old man who looked like a housekeeper.
"There is no need to look for him. I am already here!"
Just at this moment, a middle-aged man with an overbearing aura led a large group of people around a bend in the road in front of Feng Tianming and the others.
This was Feng Tianming's big brother, Feng Tianhua. He had a sinister smile on his face and a sword hung at his waist. His gaze was cold, like a venomous snake in the dark night.
Feng Tianming ignored the other party's attitude. He raised his hand and said, "You came at the right time. I have something to discuss with you."
Feng Tianhua chuckled and said, "I happen to have something to discuss with you as well. Tianming, you came at the right time."
Feng Tianming frowned slightly. He did not know what the other party was planning. He said, "Come with me to the great hall first. Later, I will gather all the elders of the clan. You can speak then."
"Ha ha! There is no need for you to gather the elders." Feng Tianhua smiled sinisterly. "Three days ago, Niece Feixue and her aunt were brought to the Great Jin Nation by the Wan Clan.
"Seven days later, the Wan Clan will hold a wedding ceremony. At that time, all the famous people of the continent will attend the wedding."
The moment Feng Tianhua said this, Xiao Chen and the others were stunned. Feng Tianming shouted angrily, "Feng Tianhua, who is the clan head? Do you want me to beat you up and send you to the clan's disciplinary hall?"
"Beat me up and send me to the disciplinary hall?"
Feng Tianhua smiled coldly and retorted, "What qualifications do you have to beat me up and send me to the disciplinary hall? Do you know the relationship between the welcoming envoy of the upper realm and the Wan Clan?
"How foolish! The Feng Clan nearly died because of you! Do you know that?!
"The welcoming envoy is the grandson of that major character of the Wan Clan. Three days ago, it was that welcoming envoy who personally brought Niece Feixue away. "
Feng Tianhua spat out these three sentences at an extremely fast speed, causing the atmosphere in the air to freeze.
Feng Tianming's expression could not help but change. He had not expected things to become so troublesome. He muttered, "There were rumors long ago that the Wan Clan's Martial Sage spent a lot of effort to send his grandson to the upper realm through Dragon Sealing City ten years ago. Unexpectedly, the other party managed to make a name for himself."
For Wan Feng to be able to become the welcoming envoy of the Bushin Palace, his strength in the Kunlun Realm was definitely not to be underestimated. His connections were also very extensive.
With this trip, the Wan Clan had probably established a connection with the upper realm. In the next thousand years, the Wan Clan's position in the Tianwu Continent would be even more unshakable.
Feng Tianhua smiled coldly as he shouted, "Now, do you know who the true sinner of the Feng Clan is? A marriage alliance with the Wan Clan will only bring benefits to our Feng Clan. Unexpectedly, you keep making excuses. You are simply trying to push the Feng Clan into a dead end.
"You only care about your own personal interests. What qualifications do you have to be the Feng Clan's Clan Head? The Feng Clan's vast business concerns the interests of tens of thousands of people. What face do you have to cling to the position of Clan Head? "
With the support of the Wan Clan, Feng Tianhua did not care about Feng Tianming at all. Using the resources that the Wan Clan provided, he managed to bribe several of the upper echelon of the clan.
Right now, Feng Tianhua wanted to take advantage of the situation to remove Feng Tianming from the position of Clan Head and become the Clan Head himself, fulfilling his dream of several decades.
Feng Tianhua took another heavy step forward and pointed at Feng Tianming's nose. He said, "Thirty years ago, when the old man chose you to be the Clan Head, I was already unconvinced. Look at the current Feng Clan. It is nearly suppressed by the Great Tang Nation's Jin Clan. What capabilities do you have to be the Clan Head?! "
