Chapter 38

  Wasn't she supposed to come over for breakfast? How is she supposed to eat now that it's like this?

  Feng Qiexie's eyebrows slightly raised, gazing at Feng Nianjiao's arrogant face, her eyes narrowed dangerously: "Mother? I remember in this Feng manor, apart from my mother Madame, who else is qualified for me, Feng Qiexie, to call 'mother'?"

  When Feng Qi's words came out, Feng Nian's face twisted, and the second lady's face turned iron-green. However, the second lady was not an ordinary person. She endured her anger and said in a low, angry tone: "Qie, no matter what, I am still your stepmother. You should respect your elders and greet me."

  How are you?

  Feng Qiexia put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hand. Since she didn't want to eat breakfast, then there was no need for anyone else to eat either! Her icy gaze swept across the crowd with varying expressions, before fixing on the second wife who had a provocative glint in her eye. Feng Qiexia's lips curled up coldly: "You speak so eloquently, but as the second wife of the Feng manor, your true identity is just one of my father's concubines. I, Feng Qiexia, am the legitimate daughter of the Feng clan. In terms of status, you should be greeting me instead. What I want to ask is, when did our Feng clan become so lacking in family values? My mother, as the official wife of the Feng manor, hasn't even arrived yet, and a concubine like you dares to sit at the table for meals? And what right do you have to make me, a legitimate daughter, call you 'mother'? Steward Feng..."

  At this point, Feng Qiujian suddenly shouted loudly, startling everyone.

  Feng Que's servant, who was waiting on the side, hurried over and bowed respectfully to Feng Qiu: "Miss Seven, what's wrong?"

  "Please, let me see the family rules of the Phoenix Clan. I'd like to know if our ancestors have stipulated that the head of the household can indulge in concubines and abandon his wife? Can a concubine bully the legitimate daughter?" Feng Qiexia coldly glanced at Feng Juetian who was standing aside, silent and watching the show, enjoying the spectacle.

  Feng Guan wiped away a big drop of sweat and looked at Feng Jue Tian with difficulty, saying: "This..."

  Feng Qiexia's words had barely left her lips when Feng Jiu knew she could no longer remain a bystander. She smiled at Feng Qiexia and said, "Qiexia, when did Father favor the concubine over his wife? Come, let's eat, don't be angry!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, he coldly glared at the second mistress: "Still not leaving? There's no place for you here. Why aren't you waiting on the side?"

  The second lady's face suddenly turned pale: "Master..."

  Feng Jue Tian's face turned stern, and although the second madam was unwilling, she couldn't openly defy Feng Jue Tian's orders. She stood up, but her glare at Feng Qi became even more venomous.

  Feng Qi ignored her completely, giving her a total cold shoulder. She was just a concubine, yet she dared to challenge him - truly overestimating her own abilities.

  Seeing her mother being driven out so humiliated, Feng Nianjiao became anxious: "Father, how can you treat Mother like this..."

  "Mother?" Feng Qiuye's eyes rose slightly, coldly staring at Feng Nianjiao who was full of anger: "In the Feng manor, except for my mother, no one is worthy of being called 'mother'. Feng Nianjiao, hasn't anyone taught you that as a daughter born to a concubine, you can only call me 'Mother' or 'Aunt', nothing else?"

  Feng Nianjiao suddenly flew into a rage, slamming her hand on the table as she stood up: "Feng Qiexia, you..."

  "Father, is this the good daughter you've taught? She actually slaps the table and stands up in front of all the elderly and seniors, what a strong and evil aura!" Feng Qiuxia smiled slyly, with an extremely wicked smile.

  Since we're going to fight her anyway, let's settle it once and for all! To be honest, she really didn't have the time to bother with them, but their repeated provocations truly made her unable to bear it any longer!

  She is not that weak and fragile woman, as the president of Fengshi Group, she will not allow anyone to climb over her head.

  "Jiao'er, you can't be so rude."

  Feng Jue's face turned stern, Feng Nian was so wronged that she didn't dare say more, and only glared at Feng Qi with hatred.

  "Feng Qi, we want to know, was the technique you used yesterday the Phoenix Blood Slash from the Phoenix Essence Volume?" The elderly man beside him finally couldn't help but ask.

  As soon as the question was asked, everyone else perked up their ears. This question had kept them awake all night! Even Feng Jue Tian was full of curiosity.

  Has it finally arrived?

  Feng Qi's eyes dimmed slightly as he responded in a low voice: "Yes!"

  The Great Elder jumped up excitedly: "How did you learn the Phoenix Blood Residual Volume? If we're not mistaken, you don't even have the qualifications to enter the Phoenix Skill Pavilion, do you?"

  The Phoenix Blood Volume has been in the Phoenix Skill Pavilion all along, but suddenly disappeared because no one in the clan was able to cultivate it for a thousand years. Nobody paid attention to it, and unexpectedly, it ended up in the hands of a useless person, and she even managed to cultivate it successfully! How infuriating.

  Feng Qi's eyes swept calmly and unhurriedly across everyone's expressions, and upon seeing the second madam's face turn somewhat pale, she smiled lightly with a hint of slyness in her eyes: "Hehe! Actually, if one were to say it, this is all thanks to Second Madam! If not for Second Madam sending the Feng Blood Residual Volume to Qi because of her special physique at the age of three, which made her unable to enter the Phoenix Technique Pavilion, how would Qi have become what she is today? You agree, don't you, Second Madam?"

  Originally, her physical constitution was special, if she practiced diligently, she might not be a complete waste, but after practicing the Phoenix Blood Residual Volume, according to the fact that her bloodline had not awakened at that time, it's likely that even those who were not originally wastes would become wastes!

  So, the name of Feng Qi's evil waste that shook the world was probably related to the Second Lady!

  I didn't expect that she would actually succeed in it! Haha! I don't know if this counts as fate or not, but it seems like heaven has its own arrangements.

  Everyone's eyes were on her, and the second lady suddenly became displeased: "Even if the Phoenix Blood Residual Volume was given to you by me, how could a useless person like you possibly cultivate it?"

  "Trash? Haha!" Upon hearing this, Feng Qiuye burst out laughing and stood up with a "whoosh", his eyes filled with sarcasm as he stared at the second madam: "It seems that my reputation as trash is closely related to you, Second Madam! If it weren't for your schemes against my mother and Xinyue when I was three years old, forcing me to practice the abandoned and worthless Phoenix Blood Scroll, would I have become trash? And if it weren't for the unexpected twist of fate that allowed me to successfully cultivate the Phoenix Blood Scroll, I would be known as trash for the rest of my life! You're so ruthless, Second Madam!"

  The two madams suddenly looked at Feng Jue Tian with a dark face and exclaimed: "You... you're so ruthless..."

  "I don't have the habit of being a bloodthirsty person, but I'll say it clearly today: don't think I'm still the useless Feng Qiuye from before. The price of provoking me is not something you can afford to pay. You dare to play tricks behind my back and plot against me? Don't blame me when I turn ruthless and show no mercy, recognizing neither kin nor friend." With a cold glance at the crowd in the hall, Feng Qiuye dropped this sentence, her sleeves fluttering as she prepared to leave.

  "You're not allowed to leave."

  Just as Feng Qisha was about to leave, the Second Elder blocked her way.

  Feng Qi's eyebrows twitched slightly: "Second Elder, what are you trying to do?"

  "Hand over the remaining volume of Phoenix Blood, it's a rare and precious skill that belongs to our clan, it should be returned to the clan for safekeeping." The Second Elder said with a serious expression.

  It has now become an unparalleled technique! Why didn't anyone rush to get it before?

  Feng Qi suddenly found it very funny, and said that the Feng clan had produced so many losers, no wonder they could only be ranked as the second family, and indeed couldn't hold up their face!

  "Second Elder, you can't say that. Since Evil has already cultivated the Phoenix Blood Residual Volume, it should belong to him by right." The Second Elder's attitude made Feng Jue Tian dissatisfied! This is clearly trying to rob him openly! And still, it's clear that he doesn't put this family leader in his eyes!

  Upon hearing Feng Jue Tian's words, the Great Elder spoke up: "House Master, logically speaking, this is the way it should be. However, Feng Qi Xie did not have the qualifications to enter the Phoenix Skill Pavilion in the first place, so the Phoenix Blood Residual Volume shouldn't belong to her by rights. House Master, you can't be biased and favor your own daughter; that would be unfair to the entire Phoenix Clan."

  "You..."

  Phoenix was about to lose his temper, but Feng Qi was held back by Feng Qiyu: "Dad, let me handle this myself!"

  Towards Feng Que's bright and sparkling eyes, Feng Jiu nodded involuntarily.

  Feng Qiuxia smiled lightly and swept her gaze over the crowd of people who were eyeing the remaining Blood Resentment Volume with greed, and the mockery in her heart grew thicker!

  It seems that to stand firm in the Phoenix Clan, one must have an unshakeable position. Feng Qi's eyes narrowed as he made a decision, and with his arms crossed, he lazily said, "Feng Xue's residual bloodline, what if I don't hand it over?"

  "You can't get away with this." The elder's anger flared, his gaze cutting sharply.

  Two other elders also came over, blocking her way. The Phoenix Blood Residual Volume had to be obtained today, and such a powerful technique would make the master of this side obtain it! From then on, in the Phoenix Clan, would they still have a foothold?

  "Haha!" Seeing this momentum, Feng Qiexia burst out laughing: "You think you can rob me with just the few of you?"

  You really don't take Feng Qiniu seriously at all! Do you think she's still the timid and weak Feng Qiniu of the past, who can be bullied and manipulated by others? Haha! What a joke.

  "The Phoenix Blood Remaining Volume originally belongs to our clan, now it's time for you to return it, how can it be considered as robbery?" The Third Elder said with a sinister tone. The reason was found to be quite justified.

  A group of shameless people, Feng Qi is so despicable, it's really unknown how such a person can mix to the position of Feng Zu elder, and spread out is really losing face for Feng Zu.

  Feng Qi's slender fingers snapped once, and an old tattered book appeared in response. The crowd's eyes lit up instantly, and they all stared at the book with greedy eyes.

  "Is this...the remaining scroll of Phoenix Blood?"

  "Hurry up and give it to me!"

  "After giving it to us, we can forgive your theft of the Phoenix Blood Residual Volume."

  In front of the peerless technique "Phoenix Blood Remaining Volume", the three great elders lost their composure! Feng Qiuxia laughed wickedly: "What? Want it? I'll give it to you..."

  As soon as she finished speaking, she threw the remaining scroll of Phoenix Blood in her hand over, and the three elders rushed to grab it, holding it in their hands and carefully flipping through it.

  Feng Qi's eyes flickered slightly as he gazed at Feng Mo, who was standing motionless beside him. "Why aren't you going to seize it?" Feng Qi asked in a tone that was not quite curious. "Don't you have any interest in the ultimate technique?"

  Although she hated him for chasing and killing her, forcing her into the Black Wood Forest, and even hiring assassins to kill her outside the Phoenix Palace, she had to admit that he was a great opponent. In the Phoenix Clan, he was also considered a formidable figure, at least smarter than those few elder statesmen!

  Feng Mo Yan shot him a white look: "You're so kind?"

  This dead girl's mind is hard to fathom, every move she makes has a calculation. From that night she escaped from her own palm and returned safely from the Black Wood Ancient Forest, and killed so many Soul Chasers' assassins he had found, he knew that this girl was absolutely not simple.

  And since her battle with Hikage yesterday, this feeling has become even more intense!

  It's just that her strength has progressed a bit too quickly, that night she escaped from her own hands and drank the Phoenix Blood Slash, unexpectedly it was real, she really practiced the Phoenix Blood Residual Volume, but at that time, she probably hadn't learned it yet?

  Unexpectedly, in just over half a month, she was able to defeat even the Nine-Star Great Master, although most of it was due to her cunning, but that strength still can't be underestimated! Now, wanting to avenge Xiang Er will probably be even more difficult!

  Clutching his fists tightly, he glared furiously at Feng Qiniu, so angry that he could hardly refrain from strangling her to death. Why was it her? Why did the young mistress of the house have to be the one who killed his only son?

  "What? You hate me?" Feng Qiexia pressed him to the front, looking up at Feng Muyan who was furious but endured: "You couldn't kill me, are you very disappointed?"

  Feng Mo's face sank: "I don't know what you're talking about?"

  "Don't you know?" Feng Qiuxia sneered: "Those dozens of top-notch killers from the Pursuing Soul Pavilion, weren't they hired by you at a great cost?"

  "Feng's words were like a cold wind in her heart, but she still spoke with a steady tone: 'Seventh Miss, I don't understand what you're saying. What is this Pursuing Soul Pavilion? Have you seen the assassins of the Pursuing Soul Pavilion? That's not a good thing! I think we should report this to the master, otherwise it would be very dangerous for a young girl like you.'"

  Go ahead! Keep pretending!

  "Feng Qiexie raised an eyebrow, his voice low and menacing: 'Don't think that just because you don't acknowledge me, I won't be able to do anything to you. Anyone who dares to scheme against me, Feng Qiexie, will not have a good ending. And of course, you are no exception.'"

  Feng Mo Yan suddenly smiled with satisfaction, a look of "I'm not admitting it, and you can't do anything about it".

  "Feng Qi's eyes rolled, and he had already thought of a plan. He leaned in close, speaking in a voice that only the two could hear, with a provocative tone: 'Actually, I know you can't wait to kill me, right? If so, then bring out your true skills and kill me! Don't play those tricks and schemes. Even if my son was killed by me, what's it to you? I'm still safe and sound back here! You spent a lot of money hiring all those assassins, but they still died at my hands. Now that I've returned to the clan, it'll be even harder for you to take revenge! If Feng Xiang in the underworld knew that his father couldn't even avenge him, he'd probably curse you as incompetent and die with his eyes open, unwilling to rest in peace, even as a ghost.'"

  "You..." Feng Mo Yan's voice was urgent, his eyes widened in anger, and a blue vein bulged on his forehead.

  Feng Qiexia continued to add fuel to the fire, "You don't know! At that time, I just swung my sword down and cut off Feng Xiang's throat in one go. The bright red blood...just like that..." Feng Qiexia stretched out her slender hand and said with a pleased expression: "Pfft" - it all sprayed out, splattering everywhere...ah...

  Feng Moshi's face turned deathly pale, and the scenes flashing before his eyes were all of his son being beheaded and bleeding to death. His eyes bulged out, and Feng Moshi, who was known for his endurance, finally lost control! He stretched out his hand and grabbed Feng Qiye's throat, his face twisted in a fierce scowl as he roared: "Feng Qiye, I'll kill you, kill you..."

  Phoenix Seven Evil does not dodge or evade, just let him pinch.

  But just as he was about to strangle her, Feng Moshi saw a sly smile flash in her eyes, and his anger-filled mind suddenly cleared. He shouted "I've been deceived!" But by then it was too late to retract his hand, and she suddenly turned pale, pitifully crying out: "Father... save me..."

  On the other side, Feng Jue Tian saw it and immediately flew over, pounced on him, and slapped a palm at Feng Mo Yan: "Feng Mo Yan, stop!"

  Seeing things have come to this, Feng Mo Yan no longer wanted to endure! Seeing Feng Jue Tian's fist coming, Feng Mo Yan dodged to the side while pinning down Feng Qi Ye and coldly shouted: "Stop, Feng Jue Tian, if you make another move, I'll strangle her to death!"

  Feng Qi's eyes narrowed, but she smiled sweetly: "What? You can't bear it anymore! Have you decided to avenge your Xiang Er? Do you know that if you kill me, you'll never be able to set foot in the Phoenix Clan again? From this moment on, you'll become a sinner of the Phoenix Clan! Even if you go down to hell, you won't have the face to see the ancestors of the Phoenix Clan!"

  "You vicious and poisonous dead girl, shut up for me!" Feng Mo Yan's expression was agitated, his hand grasping Feng Qi Xie's neck trembled incessantly: "It's all because of you, why did you have to kill my only son, why?"

  A deep sorrow spread out from him, causing Feng Qi's heart to skip a beat.

  "Feng Jue Tian was shocked and hastily said to Feng Mo, 'Mo, don't get agitated, let go of the evil child first, we can talk about it later, okay?'"

  Feng Mo Yan's head shook in pain, and he said to Feng Jue Tian with extreme heartache: "In all these years, I, Feng Mo Yan, have been diligent and devoted to handling matters for the Feng clan, without any complaints. To you, the master of the house, I have been loyal and true-hearted, without a second thought. But why did you allow your daughter to kill my only son in front of you? Why? Why?"

  Feng Mo's eyes were filled with tears as he stared at Feng Jue Tian with a gaze that was both respectful and hateful, his emotions complex and hard to decipher.

  Upon hearing this, Feng Ze Tian's face was instantly filled with regret. To be honest, at that time, Xiao Er's movements were too fast and too unexpected, leaving him completely unable to react, and by the time he wanted to make a rescue, it was already too late.
