Chi Xia arrived in a hurry and quickly reported to Feng Ninghe, "Eldest Miss, Master Feng is here and says he wants to see you."
Upon hearing that it was Feng Guangyao, Feng Ninghe raised her eyebrows in disdain, her eyes showing displeasure.
"What does he want?"
The female voice was full of annoyance.
She and Feng Guangyao had nothing in common.
With the Hundred Arena competition causing such a stir, her relationship with Feng Guangyao could only worsen.
She figured this family would be eager to get rid of her, and they might be hatching some wicked schemes in secret.
Five years ago, Feng Tongtong had wanted her dead, let alone now.
Chi Xia shook her head frankly, indicating she didn't know, "Master didn't say anything, just that he wants to see you."
Xiao Zhao stuffed a fruit into his mouth, his round body grunting.
Seeing him annoyed her, so it was better not to see him and avoid the eyesore.
Xiao Zhao's thoughts were exactly what Feng Ninghe was thinking.
Without hesitation, she waved her hand at Chi Xia, "Tell Feng Guangyao I just took a rest and don't have time for him."
Receiving the order, Chi Xia dared not delay and quickly turned to leave.
Feng Ninghe's original words were immediately conveyed to Feng Guangyao.
Feng Guangyao raised his sword-like eyebrows and grunted.
"Now I can't even see Ninghe when I want to. I'll see if she's really resting."
With that, Feng Guangyao strode forward on his own.
Chi Xia was anxious, but she was just an insignificant maid and couldn't stop Feng Guangyao.
She could only raise her voice, trying her best to let Feng Ninghe in the room hear her, "Master, I'm just a maid. If you insist on coming in, I can't stop you."
Chi Xia's voice clearly reached Feng Ninghe's ears.
Tap, tap—
A heavy footstep advanced rapidly, directly entering the room and coming before Feng Ninghe.
Only then did she put down the book in her hand, leisurely raising her eyes to look at Feng Guangyao who had barged in, "What happened? Why is Grand Uncle in such a hurry?"
Seeing the composed face before him, Feng Guangyao's chest filled with anger.
But he couldn't lash out, so he could only say in a deep voice, "Ninghe, I've come today to have a good talk with you."
Feng Ninghe poured herself a cup of tea, a hint of amusement flickering in her eyes, her voice carrying a playful tone, "Oh? What does Grand Uncle want to talk about?"
Feng Guangyao suppressed his displeasure and looked directly at her, "Ninghe, there must have been a misunderstanding five years ago. Now that you have extraordinary talent and are valued by the major sects, this is a good thing for the Feng family. We all live under the same roof and see each other every day. I hope we can get along well."
"Misunderstanding?"
Feng Ninghe raised her delicate eyebrows, a chill spreading across her exquisite face, her clear voice slowly dropping, "Since Grand Uncle says there was a misunderstanding, why don't you tell me what it was?"
The simple words choked Feng Guangyao quite a bit.
His pupils involuntarily contracted, and a surge of anger spread from his chest to his body.
But now was not the time to erupt. Even though he was filled with rage, he could only suppress it, "I hope we can all live in harmony, and I hope you can let go of everything and reconcile with Tongtong. It would be best if you could explain things properly in front of everyone."
Feng Ninghe did not rush to respond. Instead, she looked up at the bright sky, stroked Xiao Zhao's soft fur, and mumbled, "The sky is still bright, why are some people dreaming with their eyes open?"
In other words, she was telling Feng Guangyao not to delude himself.
Feng Guangyao was furious, his face turning green and then white.
His goal had not yet been achieved, so he couldn't tear down the facade at this moment. He could only pretend not to hear anything and changed the subject, "Too many things have happened recently, so it's normal for you to have emotions.
The Feng family has a manor in the suburbs. The flowers in the courtyard are blooming these days, and the Spirit Gathering Flowers are in full bloom, with abundant spiritual energy that is beneficial for cultivation. I plan to take the younger generation of the Feng family there. You should come along too."
Feng Ninghe picked up her tea with great interest and took a sip, leisurely raising her eyes to look at Feng Guangyao, "Grand Uncle, did you come here today specifically to invite me to go on an outing?"
Their eyes met, both carrying an uncertain depth.
Her gaze was calm, seemingly transparent yet unfathomably deep.
Such a gaze inexplicably inspired awe, as if it could see through all schemes.
Feng Guangyao's expression faltered slightly, but he still looked at her calmly, "Yes, I also hope to take this opportunity to let you and Tongtong reconcile."
Feng Ninghe lowered her gaze, no longer looking at him, "Since it's Grand Uncle's enthusiastic invitation, I can't possibly refuse. As for reconciliation, if you are willing to hand over the position of Feng family head and have Feng Tongtong apologize in person, perhaps I will agree to reconcile."
She knew that Feng Guangyao would not willingly give up the position of Feng family head, and Feng Tongtong would not apologize in person.
Once she apologized, it would be an admission of what she had done to Feng Tongtong five years ago.
Everything from five years ago was vivid in her mind, and hatred constantly simmered within her.
She would never reconcile.
Feng Guangyao's face was losing its composure, but he still patiently said, "The Spirit Gathering Flowers are blooming and are beneficial for cultivation. It would be best if Immortal Xu is willing to go."
"Cultivating Spirit Gathering Flowers requires a lot of effort, and their blooming period is very short, only seven days. I am naturally willing to go."
At this moment, a hearty voice entered the room.
Old Man Xu gently stroked his goatee and stepped into the room.
Chi Xia's loud shout had also been heard clearly by Old Man Xu.
He had come to take a look.
Seeing Immortal Xu, Feng Guangyao instantly showed a respectful smile and said politely, "It is an honor for the Feng family that Immortal Xu is willing to go. I will certainly instruct the servants to prepare clean rooms."
Old Man Xu did not speak, but nodded slowly and steadily.
Feng Guangyao found an excuse and quickly retreated.
"Your words just now were quite sharp. Logically, Feng Guangyao should have been furious long ago, but he patiently invited you to the mountain villa. Those who offer favors without reason are either treacherous or thieves."
Old Man Xu sat down frankly and spoke his mind directly.
He had seen everything that had just happened.
Feng Guangyao, who was usually hot-tempered, had managed to remain calm, which made Old Man Xu click his tongue.
Feng Ninghe casually ate fruit, her expression serene, but her gaze deepened, "We'll know what he's up to if we go and see."
When soldiers come, block them; when water comes, cover it up. Even if she stayed quietly in her courtyard and didn't go out, the troubles that were meant to come would not be few.
She was never afraid of trouble, nor was she afraid of others causing trouble.
Trouble might not necessarily fall upon her...
The Spirit Gathering Flowers were in full bloom, and the younger generation of the Feng family was overjoyed, eagerly awaiting the trip to use the flowers to gather spiritual energy and absorb it well, perhaps even breaking through their cultivation.
Soon, the day of departure arrived.
