Ren Feng stood aside, looking at the people opposite. They were also wearing the sa Miao Race clothing, but their expressions clearly showed that they were not welcoming Miao Wei and his group.
What's going on?
Is there internal conflict within the village?
Ren Feng didn't speak and quietly observed from the back.
"Keqing, stay away from him. Such a person is not worth your attention."
The sa man spoke again, "Co over here quickly."
"Wu ng, what do you an?"
Miao Wei's face was filled with anger.
"What do I an? Don't you already know? The village chief is seriously ill, and you have your eyes on his position. There's no such rule in the village, is there?"
"Seriously ill?" Miao Wei sneered, "He's been seriously ill for many years now. As I see it, the village chief won't live much longer."
"How dare you curse the village chief to die?"
Another person from the opposing side imdiately beca angry.
"I never said that, and besides, I don't want to argue with you. I'm here to see Keqing off."
"You're not the one to see her off—Keqing is with our Wu Family, not with your Miao Family."
Wu ng said coldly.
"Enough, stop arguing! It doesn't matter which side you're on, you all belong to Taijiang Village, right?" Liang Keqing stomped her foot, her fair face also filled with anger.
"Haven't you argued enough? It's been years."
"Keqing, the other village is always watching us. It concerns the qualification to enter the ancient village." Wu ng said helplessly, "The village chief has been bedridden with illness, and their Miao Family keeps eyeing the village chief's position, causing division..."
"Hey, don't speak nonsense." Miao Wei snorted coldly, "You guys were the ones who proposed the division back then. You govern that side, we govern this side."
"I'll tell you, there's no such rule in Taijiang Village. If I recall correctly, it was you who encouraged my uncle to say so, right?" Wu ng sneered, "Now, with Taijiang Village in such a state and other villages watching us from outside, all you want is to seize the village chief's position!"
Miao Wei folded his arms: "Seize it, so what? With the village chief bedridden, don't we need soone who can manage the situation in Taijiang Village?"
"No matter who manages, it's not your turn."
"Enough!"
Liang Keqing angrily shouted.
Suddenly both sides fell silent, looking at Liang Keqing, but they saw that she was extrely angry.
"Do you really want to fight each other with swords? Taijiang Village does not have such a tradition. Just disperse, and Miao Wei, you should leave too."
Liang Keqing said coldly.
Miao Wei gave Wu ng an icy glare before turning around with his people, but not before giving Ren Feng a cold look on his way out.
What did I do to offend him?
Ren Feng felt a bit puzzled, thinking Miao Wei's behavior was quite inexplicable.
"Keqing, next ti don't co through that way; that way you won't have to pass by their side."
Wu ng suggested.
"Wu ng, it's been years—Taijiang Village has beco like this. Why continue the division? You don't want to see Taijiang Village destroyed, do you?"
Wu ng said nothing.
Liang Keqing walked ahead, with Ren Feng following behind.
"Who's he?"
Soone noticed Ren Feng.
"He's a friend from outside," Liang Keqing said calmly.
Just as Wu ng and others were about to react, Liang Keqing said coldly, "Don't say anything else; I know the rules of the village. He helped , so I must help him."
Having said that, Wu ng and others didn't have much to say and quietly followed beside Liang Keqing.
"I've arrived. You all can go back now. I need to rest,"
Liang Keqing said.
Wu ng nodded: "You've just returned to the village. Rest well, and I'll co see you tomorrow."
Wu ng also left with his people, while Liang Keqing and Ren Feng stood in front of an ancient wooden house.
This ancient house was sowhat similar to the old courtyard houses of Yanjing but was entirely made of wood, with a few bricks and tiles, but not many.
Ren Feng followed Liang Keqing into the courtyard.
As the two entered, an old man suddenly walked out from the house directly in front, with hair as white as snow, wearing a straw hat, but his eyes were full of spirit.
"Keqing, you're back?"
The old man said cheerfully.
"Dad."
Liang Keqing, upon seeing the old man, was instantly filled with joy and rushed over, throwing herself into his arms.
"You little girl, always running around outside. If soone outside catches you next ti, who will save you?"
Though the old man's words were full of reproach, his eyes were full of affection as he stroked Liang Keqing's hair.
Ren Feng stood in the center of the courtyard, looking at the old man. Suddenly, the old man raised his head and glanced at him. In that instant, Ren Feng felt a tremor in his heart as if, in that mont, the strength revealed by this old man made him have to pay serious attention!
The opponent's strength could almost contend with my activated end-Yang state!
Ren Feng imdiately evaluated in his heart, but when he looked at the old man again, the other had reverted to an ordinary person.
"Who is this young man? I haven't seen him around the village before," the old man asked, smiling at Ren Feng.
"Dad, I forgot to introduce him. This is Ren Feng, a friend I brought back from outside. He's ill, seeking dical help in Miaojiang, so I brought him in."
"Is that so?" The old man smiled, moving toward Ren Feng. "What illness do you have? I also know a bit about dicine. Why not let take a look?"
Ren Feng smiled: "Uncle, you wouldn't be able to treat my illness."
"How would I know if you don't say?" The old man smiled, but his deanor had a hint of readiness, as if he could attack at any mont!
"My illness is the Nine Yang Tribulation. I wonder if you've heard of it, Uncle," Ren Feng said with a smile.
Nine Yang Tribulation?
The old man's expression changed but quickly returned to normal.
"Which tribulation are you on?"
"The fourth tribulation."
The old man suddenly reached out and grasped Ren Feng's wrist; Ren Feng did not resist.
After feeling Ren Feng's pulse, the old man's expression shifted.
"You weren't lying."
The vigilance in the old man's eyes disappeared.
"Dad, what are you talking about with Ren Feng? He's just an ordinary person. If I hadn't protected him on the way, he would have been eaten by wild animals."
Liang Keqing walked over with a smile, her little face full of pride.
The old man chuckled: "Looks like our Keqing has grown up."
"I've been grown up for a long ti," Liang Keqing complained, "By the way, Ren Feng, let introduce you to my dad, Liang Hongkuan."
"Hello, Mr. Liang." Ren Feng cupped his hands in greeting.
The Liang Hongkuan before his eyes was undoubtedly a powerhouse at the Peak of the Divine Realm!
