The Grand Elder found his reasoning sound and was the first to voice his agreement, "What you say makes sense, Guangyao. You must personally go to the First Prince to discuss the marriage. As long as the wedding is finalized quickly, the Feng family can afford to take a step back."
Feng Guangyao, fully aware of the pros and cons of the matter, quickly responded, "I will attend to it immediately."
The Grand Elder then turned his gaze to the other elders, "Tongtong's cultivation was crippled just like that. This matter is too strange. I will trouble the elders to put in more effort to investigate."
The elders nodded in agreement.
They feared that this person held a grudge against the Feng family. If they could cripple Feng Tongtong's cultivation today, they could cripple others' tomorrow. They had to be cautious.
The Grand Elder did not forget to look at Feng Ninghe and said earnestly, "Ninghe, everyone saw clearly that this matter has nothing to do with you, so you don't need to take the third young lady's words to heart."
Now that Feng Tongtong's cultivation was crippled, she was already a cripple.
Everyone's hopes then fell upon Feng Ninghe.
Among the younger generation of the Feng family, apart from Feng Qingcheng, Feng Ninghe possessed the highest talent.
Feng Ninghe smiled dismissively, her beautiful face composed. "Grand Elder, rest assured. It's just some trivial squabbles, and I naturally won't take it to heart."
Moreover, everything Feng Tongtong had said was true.
This matter was indeed her doing.
But Feng Tongtong had no evidence whatsoever, so what could she do?
In the room.
Feng Tongtong's face was ashen. After all the commotion, she felt even weaker and listless.
"Tongtong, you should rest well. Mother will have someone bring you suitable medicinal herbs to take later."
Zhang Shi looked at Feng Tongtong with a heart full of concern. "It doesn't matter even if your cultivation is gone. Mother will send people to protect you."
Feng Tongtong tightly clutched Zhang Shi's sleeve, her eyes filled with intense urgency. "Mother, Feng Ninghe's cultivation is far superior to mine now. We absolutely cannot let her develop further. She has never forgotten the grudge from five years ago; she has returned this time for revenge!"
Thinking of Feng Ninghe's ruthless methods, which she employed without batting an eyelid, Feng Tongtong felt a lingering fear.
Feng Ninghe's growth to this extent was also something none of them had anticipated.
Zhang Shi's gaze deepened, her expression turning cold. "I will send a message to Qingcheng first thing tomorrow morning. There are too many changes in the Feng family; she should know about these changes as soon as possible."
Feng Tongtong gritted her teeth. "Now, only Father or Second Sister can restrain her. Even my cultivation has been crippled..."
She was once the esteemed third young lady of the Feng family, her cultivation among the top of the younger generation.
But now that her cultivation was crippled, she was nothing but a cripple, unable to hold her head high ever again.
Sensing her dejection, Zhang Shi sighed. "Tongtong, rest assured, Mother will never let her off the hook. She should have died five years ago; dying again now is no different."
First Prince's Estate.
Mo Zisang's expression was grim.
Sensing his displeasure, Baili Ye specifically summoned two beautiful women to attend to him and cautiously inquired, "Elder Mo, what has happened? Who has angered you?"
Mo Zisang did not elaborate. With a beautiful woman in each arm, he narrowed his eyes and grunted, "Do you know what connection Feng Ninghe has with the Sixth Master?"
"Sixth Master?"
Baili Ye's eyebrows immediately shot up, and he blurted out his thoughts, "As far as I know, Feng Ninghe has not had much contact with the Sixth Master. I went to great lengths to invite the Sixth Master to the birthday banquet. What relationship could Feng Ninghe have with him?"
Even as the First Prince of Li Country, he could not get the Sixth Master to appear at his birthday banquet.
He had even offered several precious medicinal herbs before the Sixth Master deigned to show up.
He did not believe Feng Ninghe had the ability to get close to the Sixth Master.
This made Mo Zisang even more agitated.
He feared that Feng Ninghe had a close relationship with the Sixth Master. He did not want to offend the Sixth Master because of a woman.
After all, this Sixth Master was not just the pavilion master of Liunian Pavilion...
Mo Zisang stopped thinking and kissed the beautiful women wantonly. However, he also discovered a most fatal problem.
Normally, he was full of vigor when faced with beautiful women, but today... why was he impotent?
"I have other matters to attend to, I'll be leaving now."
Mo Zisang could not afford to care about anything else. He put down the two beautiful women and strode away.
Baili Ye was somewhat anxious. "Elder Mo, are these two beauties not to your liking?"
Mo Zisang did not reply and fled the First Prince's Estate, rushing into Chunhua Tower.
Chunhua Tower was a paradise for men.
There were countless beauties here.
In normal times, he would have eagerly taken a group of beauties with him, but today, looking at these women as beautiful as flowers and jade, his body showed no reaction...
Mo Zisang was shocked. What was happening?
Could he be tired?
He, the most dissolute person in the Immortal Sect, was now impotent?
In a moment, he cast aside all such thoughts. Perhaps his body was just unwell today. After some recuperation, he would be a good man again...
After Mo Zisang left.
Guards hurried over and quickly approached Baili Ye. "Your Highness, the Feng family head has sent a letter."
Upon hearing it was a letter from Feng Guangyao, Baili Ye looked at it with great interest.
But when he saw the contents of the letter, his expression immediately darkened.
Feng Guangyao mentioned the marriage between the two families in the letter and expressed his desire for an early wedding.
Baili Ye was not interested in Feng Tongtong and did not want to marry so soon. Compared to Feng Tongtong, he preferred to marry Feng Ninghe.
Feng Ninghe was outstanding in appearance and was no longer the cultivation cripple she once was.
Marrying Feng Ninghe would be more beneficial to him.
Immediately, Baili Ye quickly said, "Send word to the Feng family head that the marriage indeed needs to be discussed properly. When he returns from the mountain villa, I will personally visit the Feng family."
Perhaps he should also take this opportunity to break off his engagement with Feng Tongtong and change the bride-to-be to Feng Ninghe.
Looking at it from all angles, Feng Tongtong, with her wooden head, was completely unsuitable to be a princess. He did not want to be ridiculed by the royal family because of this woman's scandals.
Zhenguo Duke's Mansion.
Several figures appeared near the Poetry Garden.
Si Xin Xin blinked her bright eyes, looking around. However, there was no sign of Feng Ninghe. The entire Feng family seemed somewhat empty.
"Daddy, why don't I see my pretty sister?"
She said anxiously.
Today was the day they were to leave Li Country. She had pestered Si Jianye for a long time before being allowed to come and bid farewell to her pretty sister.
Axi said without hesitation, "Miss, don't worry. I'll go and find out, and we'll know Feng Ninghe's whereabouts."
Si Jianye lowered his gaze to the small figure beside him and reminded her, "Whether we see Feng Ninghe today or not, we must depart."
Si Xin Xin did not speak. Her bright eyes were filled with intense eagerness, fearing she would not see Feng Ninghe.
Not long after, Axi returned.
He quickly revealed the results of his investigation. "Miss, Feng Ninghe has gone to the mountain villa with the rest of the Feng family. She is not at the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion."
Upon hearing that Feng Ninghe was not there, Si Xin Xin's breath caught in her throat. After a moment, large beads of sweat covered her forehead.
