Everything around was unusually hot at that moment, and the man in front of him seemed like a sun, radiating heat.

But looking at the fingers in front of him, a chill crept up Feng Xiaoting's spine, and he couldn't help but swallow.

"What...what do you want to do? I...I'm a direct descendant of the Feng family. If anything happens to me, you're finished too!"

Qin Yangjun smiled slightly, looking completely harmless. He tilted his head slightly and looked at the two guards not far away.

"Tell the elders of the Feng family that if they don't want their son to become a eunuch, they should make him come to see me in person. I'll be waiting for him on the mountaintop for half an hour. If he's late, hmph..."

Upon hearing Qin Yangjun's words, the two guards exchanged a glance. They had sensed the cultivation levels of the group the moment they made their move, but they weren't afraid of the woman in the white coat.

The person who was forced to retreat just now was caught off guard.

The woman can be ignored, but the remaining man and woman, one at the early stage of Void Realm and the other at the middle stage, are unlikely to gain any advantage in a real fight.

However, they were unwilling to listen to Qin Yangjun's suggestion to slink away to the elders. If they did go to the elders, they would be considered to have failed in their duty of protection and would inevitably be punished.

Family punishment is no joke...

Chapter Fifteen: A Small Character?

Thinking of this, one of the guards looked up and stared at Qin Yangjun.

"Boy, don't overestimate yourself. Even if you're a core disciple on the Heavenly Ranking, or a deacon or peak master of the Yuqian Sect, you're not qualified to sit on equal footing with our elders. If our elders come in person, you'll be the one in trouble."

Qin Yangjun smiled again. He didn't respond to the man, but instead demonstrated his attitude with his actions, grabbing Feng Xiaoting's neck with one hand in a claw-like motion.

They lifted him up.

"Mihua! I'm sending this young master a 'childless' package."

"Good host!"

Mi Hua revealed a wicked smile and looked down at Feng Xiaoting.

Suddenly, a chill ran down Feng Xiaoting's spine.

He began to struggle frantically.

"Wait!!! Wait!! Stop!!! You two idiots! Go get help when I tell you to!!! If anything happens to me, my father will skin you alive!! Go now!!!"

Hearing Feng Xiaoting's roar, the two fell silent for a moment, just as Mi Hua was about to kick him.

They compromised.

This time they didn't say anything more. One of them disappeared from the spot, while the other stared straight at Qin Yangjun.

"and many more."

Qin Yangjun stopped Mi Hua and glanced at the guard who had stayed behind with great interest.

These two guards were clever; one went to report, while the other kept an eye on him.

If Qin Yangjun were to make a move during this time, the guard would likely have to fight desperately.

However, Qin Yangjun disdained to do that.

He put Feng Xiaoting on the ground and patted him on the shoulder.

"You've made significant contributions to the Feng family in the war against the demonic path. Since that's the case, I won't tie you up anymore. Go on your own. Of course, you can run away, but as for the consequences..."

Qin Yangjun didn't finish his sentence, leaving Feng Xiaoting to imagine for himself, but the smile on his face sent a chill down Feng Xiaoting's spine.

And so, Feng Xiaoting was forced forward by the three men, with a guard from the Feng family following behind.

"Boy, let me tell you, although our Feng family has been in seclusion for hundreds of years, our size is still incomparable to that of ordinary sects. You are causing trouble for me, but I am a magnanimous person. If you let me go now, I can pretend that today's events never happened."

Feng Xiaoting was telling the truth. Although he dared not think about it, it would be very embarrassing for him if such a thing got out.

If my cousin finds out, I'm bound to be ridiculed.

There was nothing he could do; he couldn't beat that "witch."

Not only that, if his father finds out about what happened today, he'll probably be put in solitary confinement.

"Hurry up and go! Stop talking nonsense!"

Mihua found a stick somewhere and poked Feng Xiaoting in the back.

"If you don't leave, I'm going to hit you in the face with this stick."

However, Feng Xiaoting ignored him and continued speaking to Qin Yangjun:

"As you just said, our Feng family made a significant contribution to this war between the demonic and magical factions. If this matter escalates, you will definitely be held accountable, so..."

Snapped!

Unsurprisingly, Mi Hua swung her stick and struck Feng Xiaoting in the face. The stick shattered, leaving a dark mark on Feng Xiaoting's face.

Although it didn't hurt, it made Feng Xiaoting feel extremely aggrieved. Since birth, he had always been the center of attention, and apart from his cousin, no one had ever dared to treat him like this.

Not to mention that the one threatening him now was just a little girl, and instantly, a surge of anger rose in his heart.

"you!"

"Why don't you accept it?"

Just as Feng Xiaoting was about to lash out, Mi Hua glared at him, unleashing the aura of a mid-stage Void Realm cultivator, which immediately deflated him.

With his cultivation at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, he was indeed no match for others.

"Fine! Fine! Fine! Since that's the case, you brought this on yourselves!"

After saying that, he gritted his teeth, shut his mouth, and turned to leave.

He appeared compliant, but inwardly he was vowing to retaliate for what had happened today.

After walking a few steps, the group arrived at a pavilion halfway up the mountain, where Qin Yangjun and Yu Lingyue sat on a bench.

Mi Hua then pointed a new wooden stick at Feng Xiaoting, making him squat down with his hands behind his head.

The guard stood not far away, and seeing the look in his young master's eyes, he felt a chill run down his spine.

After this incident, those two guards will probably be in trouble...

Qin Yangjun ignored Feng Xiaoting's resentful gaze and instead took out the gift for Yu Lingyue.

A glint flashed in Yu Lingyue's eyes as she looked at the emerald green bracelet in the wooden box.

Yu Lingyue was an orphan who grew up in poverty, relying on the kindness of others for food. Jewelry was something she never dared to dream of.

After embarking on the path of cultivation, he didn't have enough money to buy jewelry, as all his money had to be used for cultivation, and he still lived a frugal life.

After joining the Yuqian Sect, although he had the means, he devoted himself entirely to cultivation.

Gradually, I lost the simple wishes I had as a child.

The jade bracelet in front of her awakened her past desires.

In addition, it was a gift from Qin Yangjun.

The more she looked at the jade bracelet, the more pleasing it seemed to her.

Qin Yangjun placed the jade bracelet in Yu Lingyue's hand, and she immediately began to play with it with great affection.

Upon seeing the gift Qin Yangjun gave him, Feng Xiaoting's eyes revealed a hint of disdain.

He couldn't help but mutter to himself.

You're giving away trash? You're giving away a broken rock?

At the same time, he became increasingly certain that Qin Yangjun was not someone with a special identity.

Even ordinary disciples of the Yuqian Sect exchange spiritual artifacts as gifts.

But he gave a mortal a piece of jade, which, in the eyes of a cultivator, was not even as valuable as a spirit stone.

So stingy, I have no idea how he acquired all that strength.

At the same time, he also began to despise Yu Lingyue.

This woman is so ignorant, getting so excited over a broken stone.

Meanwhile, in a secluded courtyard on a mountain peak outside the Imperial Qian Sect.

Two groups of people stood on the left and right, seemingly discussing something, with two middle-aged men leading them.

Behind them stood a group of young people.

On the left side, a white jade pendant hangs from her waist, with a large gilded character "高" (Gao) on it.

On the right, a black jade token hangs from his waist, with a large character "Feng" on it.

These are clearly the Feng family and the Gao family.

There were many people in the courtyard, but the atmosphere was eerie and not lively at all.

The group of people stood still, staring intently at each other, seemingly wary of any moves the other might make.

Only the two middle-aged men were talking leisurely in front of them.

These two are elders from the Feng and Gao families, respectively.

They weren't talking about matters within the Imperial Qian Sect, but rather about things outside their own sect.

Even though both families live in seclusion, they still run some businesses.

However, they share some industries, and as the saying goes, competitors are enemies, so the two companies do not get along well.

At the same time, the ownership of some mines was not clearly defined hundreds of years ago, let alone now.

Therefore, even though they remained in seclusion, the two families were secretly vying for power.

Chapter Sixteen: The Prodigy of the Feng Family

The Feng and Gao families have been locked in a business rivalry for centuries, but neither has gained any advantage.

Now that both families have been born, continuing this stalemate will be detrimental to both of them.

Today happened to be the day, and there were some things they could decide on, so it was a good opportunity to bring them out into the open for discussion.

The two elders at the head of the group have already discussed quite a few things.
