In the garden of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.
Feng Ninghe and Su Hongxiu walked ahead, with Su Xian following a distance behind.
Seeing the faces of the Feng family members, Su Xian couldn't help but start to find Feng Ninghe more agreeable.
In comparison, the character of the eldest young lady of the Feng family far surpassed that of the other young ladies.
She seemed to understand why Sixth Master treated Feng Ninghe differently.
"I didn't expect Sixth Master to be so straightforward," Feng Ninghe couldn't hide the sigh in her eyes.
She truly couldn't have imagined that the refined Sixth Master had a hidden edge, not only sharp-tongued but also swift in action.
Su Hongxiu chuckled heartily at the exaggeration, turning to look at her, "If it were you, you would have handled it just as cleanly and efficiently."
Their acquaintance was not deep, yet Sixth Master could discern Feng Ninghe's temperament.
Her fearlessness in the face of power, her actions against the First Prince and the younger generation of the Bai family, were enough to illustrate her character.
Feng Ninghe did not deny it, readily agreeing, "When dealing with unreasonable villains, there's no need for politeness."
The two disciples from the Immortal Sect were already bewildered by Feng Qingcheng's manipulation. It was good that Su Hongxiu took this opportunity to teach them a lesson.
This way, Di Wenbin would not dare to be too arrogant in the future.
"I have no use for this box of jewelry, so I'll give it to you. Consider it payment for refining the pills."
As she spoke, Su Hongxiu waved her hand, and a box of jewelry appeared on the ground.
Looking at the box full of medicinal herbs before her, Feng Ninghe's eyes curved, and the corners of her mouth turned up.
If Feng Qingcheng knew that this box of glittering jewelry had fallen into her hands, she would likely be furious.
She casually picked out a hairpin and placed it in her hair, then put away the rest.
"Sixth Master, I consider you my friend."
Feng Ninghe said without hesitation.
Su Hongxiu's decisive slap to Feng Qingcheng's face today had also brought Feng Ninghe a great deal of joy.
With simple words, Su Hongxiu was slightly satisfied, "That's excellent. With Feng Qingcheng's return, there will surely be more trouble. Her two little followers are also not to be trifled with."
Feng Ninghe had already prepared for this. She was never one to shy away from trouble.
She calmly expressed her thoughts, "None of the people in the Feng family are easy to deal with. A couple more won't make much difference."
Even if she endured, she would only be bullied more severely.
It was better to act as she pleased and do what she wanted.
Su Hongxiu seemed to have discovered something interesting. Her eyes brightened, and even her male voice gained a hint of amusement, "It seems the country will become lively again. I'm rather looking forward to it."
Feng Ninghe couldn't help but glance at the man beside her, curiously asking, "It is said that Sixth Master does not concern himself with worldly affairs. Seeing you today, you seem quite interested in gossip."
Su Hongxiu swayed his bone fan with his slender hand, a few strands of hair lifting with the movement. A slight smile played on his lips, "That depends on the matter."
For the affairs of ordinary people, if they didn't concern him, why would he bother paying attention?
Feng Ninghe's words and actions were unexpected, which also sparked his interest.
After they walked out of the mansion, Feng Ninghe stopped and politely said, "Sixth Master, I'll escort you this far. As for the pills, I will have Immortal Xu refine them as soon as possible."
Su Hongxiu responded unhurriedly and nimbly got into the carriage.
Inside the carriage, Su Xian couldn't hide her doubts and asked, "Sixth Master, if we are entrusting Immortal Xu to refine the pills, why not go directly to Immortal Xu? Why go through Feng Ninghe?"
These simple words also brought a smile to Su Hongxiu's softly contoured face.
"Su Xian, Feng Ninghe is not as simple as we imagine. We know very little about her, and she may very well be capable of refining pills herself."
His clear male voice held a deep meaning.
Su Hongxiu had seen countless people, yet he had not been able to fully see through Feng Ninghe.
Anyone who could stand with Si Jianye was no ordinary person, and that man's judgment of people was not poor.
He began to anticipate what surprises this eldest young lady of the Feng family would bring in the future.
Su Xian's heart also stirred at these words.
Few people in this world received Sixth Master's special regard and approval. Had she underestimated Feng Ninghe?
Although Di Wenbin and Wang Junzhao had stood up, their bodies were already injured.
Sixth Master's pressure was too immense for them to bear. While they appeared somewhat disheveled on the surface, they had actually suffered internal injuries to varying degrees.
The elders of the Feng family could see the physical condition of the two disciples from the Immortal Sect.
The Second Elder said politely, "All visitors are guests. Although it was Sixth Master who injured you, the injury ultimately occurred within the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. To express our apologies, we will provide you with medicine to recuperate. Please rest and recover here."
Di Wenbin and Wang Junzhao did not refuse and were led back to their rooms by the servants to rest.
The disciples of the Feng family who had gathered to watch dispersed as the spectacle ended.
"Feng Ninghe!"
Feng Qingcheng, with sharp eyes, noticed something and called out.
Feng Ninghe, who was walking, also stopped at that moment.
The noisy female voice seemed to pierce her eardrums, causing annoyance.
Even Xiao Zhao hurriedly covered its ears with its paws, its clear, sapphire-like eyes showing irritation.
Master, they are all so annoying. My beastly paws are itching to scratch their faces!
Seeing Feng Qingcheng step forward, Feng Tongtong quickly followed, not forgetting to egg her on from the side.
"Second Sister, the person who supported her is not here. Your cultivation has reached the Nascent Soul stage now. Why not just strangle her? Just like five years ago..."
The thought of an opportunity to strangle Feng Ninghe made Feng Tongtong eager to try.
Feng Qingcheng did not speak, but a hint of ruthlessness flickered in her eyes.
Xiao Zhao was so angry that its fur stood on end. Its eyes were filled with indignation, and its small mouth moved incessantly.
They actually dared to mention five years ago!
And they even wanted to repeat what happened five years ago!
Feng Tongtong did not deliberately lower her voice. Even from a distance, Xiao Zhao could hear her.
Feng Ninghe's cultivation had reached the Nascent Soul stage, and her senses were far beyond those of ordinary people, so she could naturally hear them.
"Don't worry, they don't have the ability to harm me."
She said with a cold, low laugh, her dark eyebrows tinged with frost.
Feng Qingcheng raised her eyebrows and approached her, her eyes fixed on Feng Ninghe, "Feng Ninghe, after a few years, your abilities have grown significantly. You've surprised me."
With no outsiders present, Feng Qingcheng no longer needed to maintain her gentle and understanding facade. Her exquisitely made-up face contorted slightly.
Feng Ninghe remained composed, unmoved, "After a few years, you are still as annoying as ever."
She had thought that after so many years, Feng Qingcheng would have become smarter, but she had overestimated her.
"Feng Ninghe!"
Feng Qingcheng's face turned cold, her face ashen as she advanced on Feng Ninghe, her imposing aura radiating, and a strong pressure washing over Feng Ninghe.
Feng Tongtong, fearing she might be harmed, wisely retreated a few steps, still shouting, "Second Sister, teach her a good lesson! Let her know how powerful you are!"
