Feng Guangyao and Madam Zhang continued to curse.
Until the two were completely dragged out of the Zhenguo Duke's mansion, Feng Ninghe instantly felt much quieter.
The crowd outside the mansion looked at the couple with disdain, and some even spat at them: "They looked like decent people, but they are wicked in private!"
"It's pitiful that the eldest daughter of the Feng family lost her parents at a young age, and even her innocent brother died tragically on the battlefield. Fortunately, this eldest daughter is capable and has high cultivation! She has revitalized the Zhenguo Duke's former glory!"
Upon learning the truth of the Zhenguo Duke's family's tragic death, the crowd became indignant.
The Zhenguo Duke was valiant and benevolent, and many people within the Li Kingdom had received his favor.
Yet, such a person was framed!
Madam Zhang glared fiercely at the cultivator who spat at her: "You slut, how dare you be rude to me! When I return to the Feng family, I will grind you into ashes!"
Feng Guangyao, enraged and ashamed, gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot as he looked at the surrounding cultivators: "My daughter is an elder of the Immortal Sect, Venerable Tang, her status is noble, and I will also prosper in the future! You dare to criticize me, and I will repay you!"
Feng Ninghe quietly watched the scene before her. With a wave of her sleeve, her strong and powerful voice slowly declared, "Close the gate."
Receiving the order, the servant quickly closed the mansion's gate.
The clamor outside the mansion was completely blocked by this gate.
Madam Zhang stared unwillingly at the gate before her. She wanted to rush into the mansion, but the two servants beside her held her tightly, giving her no chance to break free.
Inside the mansion.
The First Elder quickly approached, his eyes filled with deep worry: "Ning'er, the Sect Master of the Immortal Sect regards you as an enemy and is determined to take your life. Even though you are now a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, you are no match for the entire Immortal Sect."
"Eldest Miss, why don't you go out and lie low for a while, and return after this matter is over? The Feng family has finally produced such a prodigy, you absolutely cannot be harmed!" the Second Elder suggested.
What worried the elders the most was Feng Ninghe's safety.
The Feng family had finally produced such a rare genius, which was crucial for the development of the entire Feng family.
If Feng Ninghe could weather this storm, she would undoubtedly become the Feng family's greatest support in the future!
Feng Ninghe looked up and met their gazes: "This matter cannot be avoided. I did not kill Di Wenbin, and my conscience is clear. I will personally go to Jinling to handle this matter."
Elder Xu's head was still in Feng Qingcheng's hands, and she had to bring Elder Xu back to the Feng family completely safe and sound!
The First Elder became anxious, his eyes eagerly fixed on her: "Eldest Miss, the people of the Immortal Sect will surely be waiting in Jinling for you to walk into a trap. If you dare to step into Jinling, it will not be easy to escape unharmed!"
The Fourth Elder nodded repeatedly: "Eldest Miss, if you hide and cultivate diligently, perhaps after a hundred years your cultivation will be higher, and then going to Jinling will be fine."
The elders spoke one after another.
In response, Feng Ninghe smiled dismissively, her expression calm, her eyes filled with determination: "Di Wenbin's death has nothing to do with me. I am going to Jinling to clear my name."
Bai Niannian also spoke at this moment: "My several brothers are in the Jinling Sect, and I can seek their protection at a critical moment."
The Bai family owed Feng Ninghe a favor, and as long as she asked, the Bai family would definitely help.
The worry in the First Elder's eyes did not diminish, but rather intensified: "Even so, the Immortal Sect is still not to be underestimated. If Sect Master Di mobilizes the entire clan, it will not be easy to leave Jinling alive!"
For the elders, the truth of Di Wenbin's death was not important; they only cared about Feng Ninghe's safety.
Only by living could she lead the Feng family to its peak.
Looking at the entire Feng family, Feng Ninghe's cultivation was the most profound.
The Second Elder was so anxious that he secretly broke into a cold sweat and quickly said, "Eldest Miss, even if you go, it's not now. Your life is the most important thing."
The Fourth Elder stroked his white beard and suggested, "I know of a secluded mountain, extremely hidden, where no one will ever find you. Eldest Miss, if you don't go, go there to protect yourself."
Understanding the elders' intentions, Feng Ninghe's eyes flickered, and a few wisps of light danced in her eyes: "Elders, there is no need to persuade me. I must go to Jinling. However, during my absence, I will have to trouble the elders to take good care of the Feng family."
The First Elder wanted to speak but stopped, finally swallowing his many emotions.
"Fine, since Eldest Miss has made up her mind, we will not say much more. However, after such a long journey, Eldest Miss must take good care of herself!"
The First Elder looked at her earnestly.
Feng Ninghe nodded calmly and turned to look at Chi Xia not far away: "Prepare some good food and send it to Shiyuan."
Upon receiving the order, Chi Xia dared not delay and quickly responded.
Feng Ninghe did not linger there for long and left with her entourage.
Her departure also caused the Feng family to focus their attention on her.
The Second Elder frowned, his face showing a hint of hesitation: "Jinling is full of dangers, why must you go there? I say you should just hide well."
The Fourth Elder stroked his long beard, his voice slightly deep: "Eldest Miss still has the King of Hell behind her. With him, Eldest Miss will be fine."
They had long known that Feng Ninghe's backer was Si Jianye.
Without a backer, how could she be so reckless?
Shiyuan.
Feng Ninghe stopped and looked at Bai Niannian, her eyes showing a little tenderness: "Niannian, you don't need to follow me to Jinling."
Jinling was full of dangers, and even she was not confident of protecting herself, let alone protecting Bai Niannian.
Understanding her concerns, Bai Niannian said without hesitation: "Sister Feng, Immortal Xu was injured saving me and Feng Xing. That day, Feng Qingcheng also wanted my life. If it weren't for Immortal Xu, I would be dead. I am not an ungrateful person, and I also want to bring Elder Xu back to the Medicine Valley."
Feng Ninghe furrowed her brows slightly, her gaze towards Bai Niannian showing a hint of caution: "Jinling is full of dangers. If you go to Jinling, even I cannot guarantee your safety."
Bai Niannian was prepared for this.
She casually patted her chest, her delicate face showing a hint of determination: "My several brothers are in the sect, and they will protect me. Even if Feng Qingcheng wants my life, she will have to think twice."
Jinling was a place with many eyes and ears, and Feng Qingcheng would never be able to act against her without anyone noticing.
The most dangerous place was often the safest.
Feng Ninghe's gaze was fixed on Bai Niannian, her eyes filled with thought.
She did not want Bai Niannian to be involved.
Jinling was full of dangers and treacherous people, and no one could predict what would happen.
Seeing her silence, Bai Niannian reached out and gently tugged her sleeve, her soft voice sounding like a spoiled child: "Sister Feng, please let me go with you. If it doesn't work out, I can go to the sect and seek refuge with my brothers."
