The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

“Haha, isn’t this a joke? Feng Qingya has already disobeyed the Feng family’s arrangements multiple times, and she probably doesn’t even put the Feng family in her eyes.”

“How can we let someone with a questionable heart like hers approach the Ancestor?”

Sixth Elder’s words shocked Feng Baozhao’s faction. However, in the eyes of Third Elder and others, the matter of Feng Qingya was not something they could decide on their own.

Even if the Third Elder were to refute the Sixth Elder’s words, it would be pointless.

But Sixth Elder’s anger suddenly erupted, his face red with rage.

“You’re just trying to add fuel to the fire! I think you’re all just afraid of the Ancestor waking up and taking control!”

“Maybe the ones who are most afraid of the Ancestor are you bunch of incompetent people! Why did the Feng family decline?”

“Is it because the Ancestor hasn’t woken up for a long time? Or is it because you’re all incompetent and can’t do anything?”

“You’re not thinking of ways to strengthen the family, but instead, you’re seeking help from others. You’re using this pathetic excuse to drive out the excellent disciples in the family! With your leadership, the Feng family will never rise again!”

At this point, Sixth Elder didn’t care anymore and directly lashed out. He had to vent his anger, or else he would become unstable and have problems with his cultivation.

“You’re being too arrogant, Feng Hua!” Sixth Elder’s sarcastic words made Feng Baozhao’s face darken instantly.

But before Feng Baozhao could say anything, Second Elder Feng Li burst out in anger, his aura locking onto Sixth Elder, as if he was about to attack him at any moment.

Currently, Feng Baozhao’s faction was very powerful, with almost half of the high-ranking members standing on his side. Being ridiculed by Sixth Elder was unbearable.

Sixth Elder was only at the Golden Core stage, and if Second Elder were to attack him, he wouldn’t be able to withstand it. But before Second Elder could make a move, the Great Elder, who was sitting at the top, suddenly erupted with a Nascent Soul late-stage aura, suppressing the entire scene.

“Enough! Is this the answer you’re giving me after I asked you to come up with a plan?”

The Great Elder’s anger was palpable, and no one dared to respond. He then looked at Third Elder and Sixth Elder.

“Feng Yunsheng, Feng Hua, you two go to the Feng family ancestral hall and kneel down! Don’t come out until you’ve knelt for three days! Take some time to reflect on what you’ve done!”

In the Feng family, there were only two types of Elders: the Great Elder and the others. The Great Elder was the absolute pillar of the Feng family, and his words were law. No one dared to defy him.

Although Third Elder and Sixth Elder were unhappy, they didn’t dare to speak out directly.

Then, Feng Lie continued, “Moreover, regarding the matter of Feng Qingya, since you can’t come to a decision, let’s just leave it to fate. Don’t do anything, and let them do as they please tomorrow.”

“If they can enter the top three and awaken the Ancestor, that would be a blessing for our Feng family! If they can’t, then I won’t bother with Feng Qingya anymore. You can try to force her to go to the Tuoba family, but that’s your own business!”

The Great Elder’s words dropped like a bomb, and the entire council hall fell silent. Many people from Feng Baozhao’s faction felt a sense of tension.

The Great Elder’s words were like a sharp knife cutting through the chaos, sending a strong signal. He seemed to be giving up on Feng Qingya, but in reality, he was suppressing Feng Baozhao’s faction.

He was also giving Feng Qingya a last chance. And since he had spoken, it was unlikely that anyone would dare to interfere with the Alchemy Competition tomorrow.

In the past, the Great Elder usually favored Feng Baozhao’s faction. But now, it seemed that he was dissatisfied with them.

Feng Baozhao’s heart was filled with dark clouds, but he knew when to advance and retreat. He smiled and said, “The Great Elder’s words are wise. Let’s do as he says.”

The matter had reached this point, and it was all because of the Great Elder’s clever move. The two main characters had expressed their opinions, and the matter could be considered settled. The high-ranking officials left the council hall, and the meeting came to an end.

After returning to the Mingyan Manor, Feng Mingyan’s heart was still filled with anxiety. “Father, we can’t just let this matter drop. They can refine superior-quality pills, and if they really awaken the Ancestor, they’ll definitely stand on Feng Qingya’s side. At that time, all our advantages and plans will be ruined.”

Feng Mingyan said this to Feng Baozhao, but before he could finish, Feng Baozhao suddenly slapped him on the face. A five-finger mark appeared on his right cheek instantly.

“Damn it! If it weren’t for your reckless decision last night, and not completing the task, our faction wouldn’t be in this passive state!”

“Right now, the Feng family is being controlled by others because of your mistake yesterday. And because of this, the Great Elder is also very dissatisfied with us. Can’t you see that the Great Elder is already starting to favor Feng Qingya?”

Feng Baozhao had been holding back his anger, and now it was all directed at Feng Mingyan. Feng Mingyan covered his face, trembling with fear, not daring to speak.

This was a complete mess. He still didn’t know what had gone wrong with the plan last night. “Th-then, father, what should we do now?”

Feng Baozhao’s slap had left Feng Mingyan stunned. He usually had a bit of cleverness, but now his mind was only filled with anxiety.

Feng Baozhao calmed down: “What can we do? We can only wait and see. Even if the Ancestor wakes up, we still have a chance. But I’m afraid that someone will produce evidence to prove that Spirit Sound Inn is related to the Feng family. That’s what I’m worried about.”

Yes, even someone as cunning as Feng Baozhao was at a loss. At least in the Alchemy Competition, they couldn’t use any underhanded tactics.

He had a feeling that the more they did, the more mistakes they would make. Doing nothing might actually help them preserve some of their advantages.

…

Tonight, the major powers in Yunmeng City were all on high alert. On Wind Bell Island, many cultivators flew up in the middle of the night to occupy good positions.

Su Jingzhen and Xuening were arranged by Feng Qingya to rest in two separate rooms. Mu Lao and the others acted as guards, watching over them for the entire night.

Fortunately, the night was peaceful, and nothing happened. The morning sun brought new life to the city.

Su Jingzhen slept very soundly, and when he woke up, his fixed points were still there as expected. He then stretched lazily, feeling refreshed.
