"Witnesses?"
Hong Yu and Sister Qin were both taken aback.
Sister Qin frowned. Her dignified and noble bearing, like a Phoenix from the highest heavens, gave off a cool and unapproachable aura. "Beichen Family Master, I wonder what you wish for and the Heroic and Brave Marquis to bear witness to?"
Beichen Ba took a deep breath. "To speak of this... it is a family tragedy."
Upon hearing this, Hong Yu and Sister Qin had no particular reaction.
However, the expressions of Wang Fei and Beichen Huo, who were kneeling on the ground, changed drastically.
Beichen Ba's gaze gradually sharpened, like two blades bearing down on Beichen Huo and Wang Fei. "I presu Your Highness and the Heroic and Brave Marquis are acquainted with these two?"
Hong Yu and Sister Qin nodded.
They already had a vague guess as to what was happening.
Beichen Ba took another deep breath, his words tinged with weariness and regret. "Back then, I was forced by family pressure to marry Wang Fei. For the sake of the family's lineage and continuation, I had no choice. For this matter, I even did sothing I've regretted for my entire life. But what's done is done, and I didn't want to stir up more trouble. I thought that after we married, I would manage the family well and take care of my wife. But I never expected..."
He abruptly pointed at Wang Fei.
"This vicious woman! After she married , she still wouldn't let Wan'Er and her son go. She repeatedly sent assassins to kill them, and even used the Wang Family's power to destroy the Bai Family, forcing a pregnant Wan'Er to beco a holess fugitive..."
A look of guilt flickered in Beichen Ba's eyes as he looked at Little Feng. He gently helped him up. "Little Feng, as your father, I have wronged you and your mother. Please forgive !"
Little Feng struggled slightly, freeing himself from Beichen Ba's grasp.
He put so distance between himself and Beichen Ba. His young face was exceptionally calm, but it was this very calmness that sent a strange chill through one's heart.
Little Feng said calmly, "Can a single 'I'm sorry' truly solve anything?"
"You say you always loved her and never stopped looking for us. But were you really looking?"
Little Feng looked at him earnestly and asked, "Fine. You can say you thought we were dead. But this vicious woman has tried to kill ti and ti again. Why didn't you deal with her?"
"I..."
Beichen Ba was speechless.
He had thought about dealing with Wang Fei before...
But he couldn't ignore the consequences of punishing her.
On one hand was his son; on the other was the potential collapse of the Beichen Family.
Beichen Feng did indeed share his bloodline. Even at such a young age, he had been able to persuade the Yellow Heaven Ten Thieves to protect him at all costs—that kind of skill alone was extraordinary. But the power and foundation behind Little Feng—or rather, the backing and influence he possessed—was too weak.
In contrast, behind Wang Fei stood the Wang Family and the Guiyuan Sect's Chief Elder, Wang Ba!
If he were to severely punish Wang Fei and the others for Beichen Feng's sake, it would inevitably provoke a backlash from the Wang Family and Wang Ba. The entire Beichen Family might even be sacrificed in the process.
Because of this, he had not taken a stance on how to deal with Wang Fei and her cohort until now.
But everything changed after he saw Hong Yu beco the Heroic and Brave Marquis. Only then did Beichen Ba make up his mind.
The Heroic and Brave Marquis—a Kingdom Marquis, naturally, could not compare to the Guiyuan Sect. But what Beichen Ba saw in Hong Yu was a smooth and bright path forward, an imasurable future.
Just last night, Beichen Ba had gathered intelligence on Hong Yu.
He had risen from obscurity and, in just over a year, had already grown to his current level.
If given more ti, he would undoubtedly grow into a legendary figure.
Especially now that Hong Yu had the Royal Family as his backer and support, the value he represented had undergone a world-shaking transformation!
For this very reason, Beichen Ba finally resolved to move against Wang Fei and Beichen Huo, betting all his chips on Little Feng.
Gazing at Little Feng's young face, Beichen Ba nodded. "Alright. I will avenge you and your mother right now!"
Beichen Ba stood up, looking down upon Beichen Huo and Wang Fei.
Beichen Huo trembled all over, his hands shaking.
His cultivation was only at the initial stage of the Celestial Soul Realm. Under the pressure of a Primordial Core Realm expert like Beichen Ba, how could he possibly have the strength or courage to resist?
He kowtowed repeatedly. "Big Brother, I was wrong! Spare , Big Brother..."
Beichen Ba took a deep breath. "You should know what you've done. Even if I don't kill you, the woman beside you will kill you once you're no longer useful."
"No, please don't, Big Brother..."
Beichen Huo begged desperately for his life.
Wang Fei, however, flew into a rage from the humiliation. She sent Beichen Huo flying with a slap and roared hysterically, "Beichen Huo, are you a fucking man or not? It's co to this, what's there to be afraid of? If you're a man, get on your feet and fight Beichen Ba for the Beichen Family, for the Beichen Comrce Association! With my Wang Family backing you, the Beichen Family can only be yours!"
"I... I..."
Beichen Huo was stunned by the slap, unable to recover for a mont.
Wang Fei stood up, hands on her hips, and stared arrogantly at Beichen Ba. "Beichen Ba," she pressed, "you think you're so great just because you broke through to the Primordial Core Realm? You think you're hot shit? Now that your son has a backer and has connections with the Royal Family, you think you can just kick to the curb, is that it?"
Wang Fei jabbed her finger into Beichen Ba's chest repeatedly. "If you've got the guts, kill right now! Do you have the guts? Huh? If you've got the guts, then do it!"
Beichen Ba frowned, continuously backing away.
He had originally planned to divorce Wang Fei and expel Beichen Huo from the Beichen Family in front of Hong Yu and Sister Qin. This would allow him to seize complete control of the Beichen Family and the Beichen Comrce Association, and then support Little Feng's rise.
He hadn't expected Wang Fei to be so aggressive.
Her fierce words and actions forced him into a position where he couldn't even state his well-laid plans.
Watching from the side, Hong Yu frowned deeply and sighed to himself, 'Sure enough, even the most domineering and badass of n is no match for a tigress at ho!'
As he was musing, Hong Yu suddenly saw Wang Fei shoot a look at Beichen Huo. Beichen Huo paused for a second, then his gaze drifted toward Little Feng.
Because everyone's attention was on Wang Fei, no one noticed that Beichen Huo was already standing only two ters away from Little Feng.
'Not good!'
Hong Yu cried out in his mind, but by the ti he moved to intervene, it was already too late.
"AH!"
Little Feng cried out as he was seized by Beichen Huo.
Wang Fei retreated, putting distance between herself and Beichen Ba, and stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Beichen Huo. Little Feng was now their hostage, held firmly in Beichen Huo's grasp.
"How dare you, Beichen Huo! Let Little Feng go!" Beichen Ba roared.
Beichen Huo's hand trembled.
But Wang Fei snatched Little Feng away from him and kicked Beichen Huo in frustration. She stared hysterically at Hong Yu and Beichen Ba. "JIE JIE JIE, you two care so much about this little bastard, huh? Beichen Ba, when I married you, I thought that bitch with the surna Bai was dead and you'd finally co around. But in the end, you were still so cold to . Now that the slut and your bastard son are back, you want to get rid of ?"
Wang Fei pinched Little Feng's chin with one hand, slowly lifting him up.
Little Feng's face went pale. He struggled relentlessly, a pitiful sight.
Wang Fei's long fingernails traced lightly across Little Feng's face, her own expression growing colder and more sinister. "Tsk tsk, this little bastard's face does look a bit like that slut's! But it's just too delicate. What do you all think? If I leave a few marks on his face with my nails, wouldn't he look a little more manly?"
"You dare?"
Beichen Ba roared in fury.
The aura of a Primordial Core Realm expert suddenly erupted, and he reached out to grab Wang Fei from a distance.
But Wang Fei lifted Little Feng high into the air, a savage coldness on her face. "Move an inch, and I'll snap his neck."
"Hkk... hkk..."
Little Feng choked out painful gasps, his eyes rolling back in his head.
The formidable Montum Beichen Ba had been gathering instantly collapsed. His eyes, spewing flas of rage, locked onto Wang Fei. "What exactly do you want?"
"What do I want? JIE JIE JIE... I was originally just thinking of taking over the Beichen Comrce Association and letting my daughter manage it. But I never expected this little bastard to pop up out of nowhere. This whole situation is all his fault. I'm going to make him pay for everything with his life."
A bone-chilling coldness laced Wang Fei's hysteria.
"You bitch, stop!"
Beichen Ba roared and was about to strike, but Wang Fei's words stopped him in his tracks. "You dare attack ? Go on, do it! If you so much as harm a single hair on my head, just wait and see how my father exterminates your Beichen Family!"
Hearing this, Beichen Ba instantly deflated like a popped ball, rendered speechless once more.
Little Feng looked at Beichen Ba's dejected figure. At his young age, his eyes, which should have been clear and innocent, held a trace of world-weariness, bitterness, and despair. "Vile woman, if you want to kill , then kill ! There's no need to use my life to threaten anyone. From this day forward, I, Beichen Feng, have nothing to do with the Beichen Family."
He looked at Hong Yu. "Big Brother, if I die, please take back and bury beside my mother. Carve my na on the tombstone—Bai Chenfeng!"
"Little Feng, you..."
Beichen Ba's expression changed drastically, and he seed to age decades in an instant.
But in the end, he still didn't act. He had his own concerns, unwilling to drag down the Beichen Family he had worked so hard to build.
Watching this scene, Hong Yu let out a soft sigh. "Little Feng, what nonsense are you talking about? Without my permission, who can take your life?"
The mont his voice fell, Wang Fei's vision blurred.
A sharp pain shot through her palm. Wang Fei looked down to see that the hand she'd been using to hold Little Feng was now twisted at a ninety-degree angle. Hong Yu had snapped her arm.
Little Feng had already been rescued by Hong Yu.
Wang Fei scread, cursing venomously, "Damn you, Hong Yu! How dare you injure ?"
"Others may fear your revenge, but I, Hong Yu, do not!"
Hong Yu swept a cold, sharp glance over Wang Fei, a feeling of disgust rising within him. He rembered how this woman had hired assassins, annihilated an entire family, and even sent the Blood Killing Tower to assassinate him. His anger flared uncontrollably.
A crackle of Thunder Sound gathered in his palm, and he slapped it toward Wang Fei's face.
SMACK!
Wang Fei was sent flying, crashing heavily against the stone lion at the entrance. Her face was smashed to a pulp, utterly disfigured.
Looking at the hysterically screaming Wang Fei, Hong Yu rubbed his nose. "A venomous-hearted woman like her deserves to be made hideously ugly!"
Beichen Ba: "..."
Sister Qin: "..."
Everyone: "..." 'The great daughter of the Guiyuan Sect's Chief Elder... you're probably the only one who would dare to just slap her on a whim, right?'
Although they were shocked, everyone had to admit that seeing Hong Yu send Wang Fei flying with a slap was incredibly satisfying!
"Take your lover and get lost!"
Hong Yu shot a cold glance at Beichen Huo.
True to form, the man scrambled to his feet, picked up the bloody-faced Wang Fei, and fled in disgrace.
The onlookers were all in a bit of a daze. The Beichen Family's internal strife... had it really been resolved so simply?
In that mont, everyone's gaze toward Hong Yu filled with even greater awe and admiration.
However...
Just as the crowd was still reeling from the shock of Hong Yu's domineering display, a maid ca staggering over, and her shouts made the hearts of Hong Yu and the others sink.
"Patriarch, it's terrible! Miss Tianshuang is on the verge of death!"
