As Sikong Yu listened to Li Feng’s taunt, a hint of blush appeared on her cold and stern face. She thought to herself, I’m saying this for your sake, yet you’re like a dog biting Lv Dongbin, unable to recognize a good person.
"If you really want to seek death, I won’t stop you."
Sikong Yu wasn’t the kind of gentle, soft-spoken woman. She replied coldly.
"You’re really not that cute, huh."
Li Feng sighed, then directly brushed past Sikong Yu, and walked straight to Ouyang Tianshu. He glanced at Du Yanran and raised his hand to retrieve the Domineering Thunder Fla from Du Yanran’s body.
However, even so, Du Yanran wouldn’t have an easy ti recovering this ti. Without resting for a year or so, he wouldn’t regain his strength, and even if he did, so aftereffects would remain.
Moreover, with Du Yanran being narrow-minded and Li Feng being one to repay a grudge, though most of the Domineering Thunder Fla was taken back, he left a tiny Fire Seed lurking inside Du Yanran’s Golden Core.
If Du Yanran would let it go at that, then so be it. But if he continued to pursue the matter, Li Feng wouldn’t mind sending him to see King Yan.
Ouyang Tianshu watched as Li Feng retracted the Thunder Fla. He was well-inford and understood the Sikong family’s Vermilion Bird Bloodline. However, most Vermilion Bird Fires were red flas, and Li Feng’s fire was purple, which was quite unusual.
Especially since this Purple Fla had been devouring his strength earlier, which might have been just his imagination.
Ouyang Tianshu handed Du Yanran over to the people behind him, who were proficient in healing. He watched as Li Feng stood in front of him.
"Boy, you seem to be unconvinced."
Li Feng t Ouyang Tianshu’s gaze: "Why should I be convinced?"
Ouyang Tianshu didn’t expect the other party to retort and chuckled: "It’s okay not to be convinced. I’m Ouyang, and I love dealing with those who aren’t convinced."
"You think that just because you have the Vermilion Bird Bloodline, you can do whatever you want? It seems I need to teach you a lesson about how vast the world is."
"Father, don’t hit him."
At this mont, Ouyang Qiuhai quickly hugged her father’s arm. She knew her father too well and inherited much of his personality.
It’s known that the Ouyang family is a scholarly family, great in the Confucian Sect, and almost all disciples in the family walk the Confucian path. Except for her father, who, as a legitimate inheritor of the Confucian Sect, chose the martial path and was thus expelled from the family.
"Hmm, what’s wrong with hitting him? Even if he’s the Sikong family’s son-in-law, so what? Daring to cause trouble at my First Line Pass, even if old Ouyang cos, I have sothing to say."
"And you, little girl over there, what do you say?"
Ouyang Tianshu looked at Sikong Yu, who had just tried to bring up her family to intimidate this young man. The Sikong family na might work on those with ordinary backgrounds, but it wasn’t enough to intimidate him, Ouyang Tianshu.
He had never played by those rules.
Sikong Yu looked at this Third Elder, Ouyang Uncle, who was famously unruly. Once he made up his mind, no one could persuade him. He was nicknad "Impervious Old Turtle," though this was a nickna used privately. His formal title was the Xuanwu General of the Guard of the Three Mountains, because he practiced the Xuanwu Technique and possessed a trace of the Xuanwu Bloodline inherited from his maternal Ji family, a royal family bloodline.
"Father, you really can’t hit him. Because he’s the Headmaster’s precious one." Ouyang Qiuhai hurriedly ntioned Headmaster Wei Wu, as he was one of the few who could check her father.
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Tianshu raised an eyebrow: "He’s the Headmaster’s precious one? How co I didn’t know? Which side are you on, girl, actually speaking on his behalf?"
Ouyang Qiuhai stomped her foot in frustration and said directly: "Father, would I lie to you? Li Feng joined Nine Layers Mountain not long ago, but he has been judged as having the potential of a commander by the Martial Strategy Hall of Nine Layers Mountain. The Headmaster personally summoned and intended to take him as a personal disciple."
Ouyang Qiuhai didn’t care if it was true, but there were rumors to this effect, mostly spread by Murong Ye and others. As word spread, it beca exaggerated.
"The potential of a commander."
Ouyang Tianshu indeed showed a slight change in expression. Commanders were rare in Nine Layers Mountain, erging only once every hundred years. If the boy was truly a commander, he might indeed catch the Headmaster’s attention and beco highly valued.
Ouyang Tianshu’s attitude shifted slightly, and he looked at Li Feng: "Even as a potential commander, you can’t act recklessly based on your status."
"Do you know the penalty for unauthorized entry into a border area and injuring a border garrison commander?"
Li Feng glanced at Ouyang Qiuhai, not knowing why she spoke for him, but it seed effective.
"Third Elder, you didn’t even inquire clearly and decided I, Li Feng, was causing trouble. Is this your fairness?"
"Today, I led my trusted aides past First Line Pass, and upon entering, Du Camp Captain stopped . I showed my identity and presented my Vermilion Bird Flag Master Token, but he insisted on making things difficult for ."
"He even ordered his n to detain my aides and verify their identities. I refused, and he attempted to act by force. If I didn’t resist, who would serve , Li Feng, in the future?"
"Although there was a conflict afterward, I didn’t kill anyone. As for Du Camp Captain, he brought this upon himself. He harbored murderous intent towards . If I didn’t resist, I could have been the one killed. Am I supposed to show restraint towards soone trying to kill ?"
Ouyang Tianshu heard Li Feng’s words and furrowed his brow slightly. anwhile, Ouyang Qiuhai tugged at his sleeve from behind.
Ouyang Tianshu sensed that there might be more to the story.
"I heard what you said. As for what really happened, I will investigate thoroughly. But for now, I need you to take your people to the training grounds. If things are as you say, I will handle it impartially."
With that, Ouyang Tianshu called a trusted aide: "Arrange their accommodations."
"Yes."
"Camp Master."
The three Shadows stepped forward and looked at Li Feng: "If these people give you trouble, we’ll fight them."
Li Feng glanced at the three Shadows and smiled faintly: "It’s okay now, and you did well earlier. You are indeed my soldiers."
Then, Li Feng and his group were led to a platform inside First Line Pass. A camp on this platform could accommodate hundreds of people.
"Food will be brought to you later. Without orders, do not leave the camp without permission, or don’t bla for not warning you if there’s a problem."
"What’s really going on?"
Ouyang Tianshu took his daughter aside and questioned her sternly. After all, the presence of his daughter and Sikong Yu at First Line Pass was already abnormal. As for Du Yanran, he wouldn’t arbitrarily trouble Li Feng. Before this, the two didn’t know each other, so there was no reason.
Thinking that Ouyang Qiuhai repeatedly defended Li Feng and held him back, obviously feeling guilty, or else why be worried?
"Father, I didn’t expect things to turn out this way," Ouyang Qiuhai pouted, tears in her voice.
