Feng Ni 'er felt an indescribable disappointment toward the great ancestor of the Feng family.
After experiencing so many changes, she was no longer the unruly, willful, and reckless little princess of the past.
It was as if she had matured overnight. The way she conducted herself and even the way she treated people faintly had the bearing befitting of her identity.
Just as the Feng family was in a panic, she stepped forward and lightly scolded, "What are you panicking about? Hurry and welcome Sect Leader Ding."
"Ah, yes, hurry and welcome Sect Leader Ding."
The Feng family seemed to have found their backbone and immediately stopped panicking. Under Feng Ni 'er's lead, they lined up to welcome Ding Ning who was striding over. They bowed with folded hands and shouted in unison, "Welcome, Sect Leader Ding."
At this moment, no one paid attention to the wretched old ancestor lying on the ground. It was as if the current master was Feng Ni 'er.
When Ding Ning saw this, a hint of surprise flashed through his eyes. Then, he smiled warmly and said, "Ni 'er, we are all family, there is no need to be so formal."
As soon as this sentence was said, the Feng Family's tense heart instantly fell into the pit of their hearts. Even the Feng Family's old ancestor got up like he was injected with chicken blood. He smiled and said, "Yes, brother-in-law is right. We are all a family. A family, hehe."
Even the Feng family felt embarrassed at his shamelessness. They glanced at him disdainfully and moved away from him, too ashamed to be ashamed of him.
Ding Ning did not humiliate him but also did not respond to his words. He ignored him and continued to look at Feng Ni 'er with a smile. His attitude was clear. In the Feng family, he only recognized Feng Ni' er.
"Fifth Aunt, where is Fifth Aunt?"
Feng Ni 'er saw that Ding Ning did not look like he had come to denounce her and secretly let out a sigh of relief. Her tone also recovered the liveliness of a girl her age and she asked excitedly.
"Pianwu, I didn't want to see some people so I didn't come."
Ding Ning's faint words made the great ancestor of the Feng family flush red to his ears. He wanted to find a crack in the ground and bury his head in.
But now, he did not care about face. As long as he could protect the Feng family, he was willing to die to atone for his crimes.
Feng Ni 'er was a bit embarrassed by his words and laughed awkwardly. "Fifth Aunt, please sit."
"Alright."
Ding Ning didn't even look at the Feng Family old ancestor whose face was as red as a pig's liver. He unceremoniously sat on the main seat and even patted the guest chair. He smiled warmly and said, "Ni 'er, come and sit."
This was the Tianze Sect. As the host, it was only right and proper for him to sit in the main seat. However, he let Feng Ni 'er sit in the guest seat and not the great ancestor of the Feng family. This was a naked slap in the face.
But no one in the Feng Family dared to express dissatisfaction. In fact, they were already disappointed with the old ancestor of the Feng Family. If it weren't for his self-righteous betrayal, with the relationship between Ding Ning and Feng Pianwu, how could the Feng Family be despised everywhere?
An awkward expression appeared on Feng Ni 'er's face. She hesitated and was unwilling to sit down. After all, her grandfather's actions were shameful. Other people had the right to look down on her, but she, as his granddaughter, did not.
After all, when the Feng Family provoked Ding Ning, she was the culprit. Although it was not her wish, it was also caused by her grandfather who had always spoiled her.
"What? You don't want to talk to me about the Long family? "
Ding Ning pulled a long face and pretended to be displeased.
The Long family?
The eyes of all the Feng Family members lit up and they looked eagerly and passionately at Feng Ni 'er.
It could be said that the Long family had become the irreconcilable enemy of the Feng Family. Because of Long Feiyang's death, although the great ancestor of the Long family did not dare to seek revenge on Ding Ning, he vented all his anger on the Feng Family. It looked like he would not rest until he destroyed the Feng Family.
If they could not ask for Ding Ning's protection this time, all the Feng Family members present would face the Long family's crazy revenge when they returned. The destruction of the Feng Family was only a matter of time.
Seeing that Ding Ning had taken the initiative to discuss this matter with Feng Ni 'er, it was clear that he had the intention of protecting the Feng Family. They could not care about the face of the great ancestor of the Feng Family anymore. They all cast anxious looks at Feng Ni' er.
"Ni 'er, quick, sit. What are you waiting for?"
Just as all the Feng Family members were anxious but could not speak, the great ancestor of the Feng Family took the initiative to speak.
Everyone paused. One had to know that the great ancestor of the Feng Family's declaration was equivalent to surrendering the power of the Feng Family. Feng Ni 'er would become the representative of the Feng Family. Other than not going through the procedures, there was no doubt that he had tacitly approved of her identity as the new clan leader.
But very quickly, he understood why the great ancestor of the Feng Family would do this.
If they could not obtain Ding Ning's protection this time, the Feng Family would certainly be destroyed. If he clung to the position of clan leader and refused to let go, what was the point?
Furthermore, Feng Ni 'er was his most beloved granddaughter. Giving the position of clan leader to her was something that the great ancestor of the Feng Family could completely accept.
She could obtain protection and repair her relationship with Ding Ning. It was the best of both worlds. Why not?
Ding Ning had long understood this. That was why he had purposely put on such an act to support Feng Ni 'er. After all, no matter how despicable the great ancestor of the Feng Family was, he was still Feng Pianwu's older brother. He could not kill him.
If it was anyone else who repeatedly touched his bottom line, no matter how unhappy his woman was, he would not hesitate to kill them.
But Feng Pianwu was different. Her younger brother had already died because of him. If he also killed her older brother, even he himself would feel guilty.
Thus, after thinking it over, the best method was to have the great ancestor of the Feng Family hand over the power in his hands and let Feng Ni 'er become the new clan leader. This way, he would protect the Feng Family and feel much more comfortable.
It had to be said that Feng Ni 'er had matured very quickly during this time. She quickly understood the stakes in this matter. She bowed apologetically to the great ancestor of the Feng Family and resolutely sat down in the seat of honor.
She did not covet power but as a member of the Feng Family, she enjoyed the best resources and treatment of the Feng Family. When the family encountered a crisis of life and death, she could only step forward bravely because this was the result that Ding Ning wanted to see. For the Feng Family, she would not turn back.
"Although Pianwu and I have become husband and wife a long time ago, marriage is, after all, a major event of a lifetime. Thus, I want to give Pianwu a grand wedding."
Ding Ning said with a chuckle. However, the words he said confused most of the Feng Family members. If you want to have a wedding, then do it. Why did you come all the way to the Feng Family to talk about this?
Of course, not all of the Feng Family members were idiots. There were smart people who immediately reacted and their eyes lit up.
The great ancestor of the Feng Family stood respectfully behind Feng Ni 'er like a normal member of the family. He immediately understood the crux of the matter and looked at Ding Ning with respect.
He gave a long sigh in his heart. This person, no matter if it was his character, talent, strength, or intelligence, he was a monstrous existence. Pianwu really had good eyes.
Feng Ni 'er did not immediately react but as her mind matured, she did not speak immediately. Instead, she picked up the cup and carefully tasted the tea, thinking about Ding Ning's intentions.
She believed that Ding Ning would not speak without thinking. He rashly came to her and supported her to be the new patriarch just to talk about the wedding.
Ding Ning looked at her reaction and a satisfied expression appeared on his face. He did not rush her. He also picked up the cup and slowly tasted it.
After all, Feng Ni 'er was exceptionally intelligent. Compared to an old fox like the great ancestor of the Feng Family, what she lacked was experience and knowledge. To be able to think of using tea to buy time to think about his intentions, her performance could be considered quite steady and mature.
This made him sigh inwardly. As expected, hardship was the catalyst for people to grow. Compared to the unruly and willful Feng Ni 'er of the past, the Feng Ni' er in front of him had undoubtedly grown up a lot.
"Fifth Aunt, I understand. The Feng Family will do its best to prepare for Fifth Aunt's wedding and will not disappoint you."
Feng Ni 'er's mind was still very good. In a flash, she had pretty much guessed Ding Ning's intentions. She raised her head and spoke excitedly and gratefully.
"Hmm, very good. Time is short, so I won't keep you. Tomorrow morning, you can return to the Feng Family with Pianwu. Three days later, I will come to fetch the bride."
Ding Ning had achieved his goal and stood up with a smile.
The members of the Feng Family who had not yet reacted finally understood and were immediately overjoyed. The gaze they used to look at Ding Ning was filled with deep gratitude and intimacy.
Everyone present knew how the Feng Family had treated Feng Pianwu in the beginning. However, Ding Ning had disregarded the former enmity and allowed Feng Pianwu to follow them back to the Feng Family to prepare for the wedding.
This was equivalent to announcing to the outside world that the Feng Family was Ding Ning's wife's maiden family and also a family he protected. If anyone dared to provoke his wife's maiden family, then they were not giving him face.
What a joke. If they dared to not give face to the leader of the number one sect in the secular world, there was no need to say what would happen to them.
Thus, the hearts of everyone in the Feng Family at this moment were at ease. They were even more grateful to Ding Ning from the bottom of their hearts. Each of their faces showed sincere respect and they all stood to send Ding Ning off.
"Very well, we will leave early tomorrow morning. Fifth Aunt, take care."
Feng Ni 'er also let out a long breath. This was the first time she had exercised her authority as the head of the family and the pressure on her was great. Especially since she had forcefully taken away her grandfather's authority, she still felt very guilty. She wanted nothing more than for Ding Ning to leave quickly so that she could explain to her grandfather and obtain his understanding.
However, it was clear that Feng Ni 'er had worried too much. After the great ups and downs in his heart, the great ancestor of the Feng Family understood that his actions of seeking good fortune and avoiding disaster and filled with opportunism had chilled the hearts of the clan members. He was no longer suitable to remain in the position of the head of the family.
Most importantly, he knew very well that this was Ding Ning's will and could not be disobeyed. Otherwise, the Feng Family might suffer even more.
Although the great ancestor of the Feng Family's character was not very good, he had always known when to advance and when to retreat. Even though he could not be said to have been completely enlightened, he had become much more broad-minded and did not have any complaints toward Ding Ning.
Faced with his granddaughter who was uneasily begging for forgiveness, he had a kind smile on his face. He tore her apart and weighed the pros and cons for her so that she could be at ease as the head of the family. He would do his best to assist her from the side and help her quickly control the power of the family.
Feng Ni 'er had originally been a bit unwilling to take over the position of the head of the family but after the great ancestor's explanation, she finally understood Ding Ning's good intentions.
She had not thought that the youth who had flown into a rage for the sake of a beauty on the island would not only grow to such a stage in such a short period of time but also possess such intelligence. Fifth Aunt was truly fortunate.
It had to be said that the great ancestor of the Feng Family was indeed an old fox. He could see clearly what Feng Ni 'er could not see.
Ding Ning had forced the great ancestor of the Feng Family to abdicate and let Feng Ni 'er become the new head of the Feng Family. How could his intentions be as simple as taking revenge on the great ancestor of the Feng Family?
Doing this could alleviate the conflict between the Long family and the Feng family. After all, when Long Feiyang had been killed, the people the Long family hated the most were Ding Ning and the great ancestor of the Feng family who had turned against them at the last minute. Once the great ancestor of the Feng family abdicated and Feng Ni 'er took the position, if the Long family continued to suppress the Feng family, it would be going too far.
Secondly, Ding Ning was also considering the reputation of Tianze Sect. Back then, the Old Ancestor of the Feng Family treated Feng Pianwu badly and even surrendered to the fake Human Emperor in public. If the Old Ancestor of the Feng Family continued to be the Family Head, Ding Ning not only didn't find trouble with the Feng Family but also stood up for them. If this news spread out, others wouldn't think that he was broad-minded. They would only think that he was shameless and had no bottom line or principles.
