“How can Feng Qi call herself a genius? She only reached her level because they filled her with cultivation potions. Her foundation is anything but solid! That Feng Yanfeng has to be shameless to say that Feng Qi is more talented than Xiao Wu. Is he blind?”
“No, he’s just mean.” Chaoge snorted. “They didn’t want to see Xiao Wu rise, so they tried to destroy her.”
Elder Jing pointed at Chaoge and glared at Elder Grain. “Did you hear that? Are you still on their side now?
“If Feng Yanfeng lied about Feng Qi, we can deduce that everything he said about Xiao Wu was a lie, too!”
Elder Jing was furious. “He’ll have to pay for that!”
Elder Grain clenched his fists. He had been told off because of Feng Yanfeng, and he decided to teach that man a lesson as well.
He was about to go get Feng Yanfeng and beat him up.
But Feng Wu made a proposal that puzzled them all.
“You want to handle Feng Yanfeng yourself?” Elder Grain was perplexed. “Why won’t you let us help you?”
By then, Feng Wu had figured out what Elder Grain was like, so she chuckled. “I just want to expose him when the time is right, and that’s not now. So, please don’t let Feng Yanfeng hear about our meeting. Is that alright?”
Elder Jing agreed before Elder Grain could say anything.
Elder Jing liked Feng Wu very much, and he was looking forward to seeing what Feng Wu would do.
“Achoo —”
Feng Yanfeng sneezed in his study. He rubbed his nose and felt a little strange.
“What’s wrong? Did you catch a cold? Shall I fetch the doctor?” Lady Wang walked in with some dessert.
Feng Yanfeng shook his head. “Somebody’s probably talking behind my back. Don’t worry.”
Lady Wang whispered, “What about Feng Wu?”
Feng Yanfeng was very confident. “I’ve given them a full report, and the elders know what happened.
“They’ve stayed in the backyard for so long and have hardly met anyone. They’ll believe whatever I tell them.”
Lady Wang was excited. “Are you saying that we’ll soon be rid of Feng Wu?!”
Feng Yanfeng said, “Elder Grain supports us.”
Lady Wang smiled brightly.
But she wasn’t so happy the next day.
“What’s going on?”
She walked into the study to find Feng Yanfeng sitting there with a long face.
He handed her a piece of paper.
Lady Wang read it and frowned.
Because the elders were informing them that their request had been refused.
Lady Wang couldn’t believe her eyes. She rubbed her eyes and read the paper again.
The reply seemed to be laughing at the couple.
“Why is this happening? Weren’t you so confident yesterday? Why did they turn us down?!” Her first reaction was to question Feng Yanfeng..
