Chapter 413: Wisdom
"Chase him? Why would we chase him?"
Murong Yi Yun just smiled faintly at the words, his gaze deep and wise.
"Lin Feng has already left. Where would we even find him?"
"You have to understand, Lin Feng is an extremely intelligent and independent person. Since he left on his own, he must have his own reasons."
"If we go looking for him now, we'll only displease him."
"Besides, with the relationship between Qianqian and Lin Feng, we'll still have opportunities to cooperate in the future."
A glimmer of anticipation appeared in his eyes. 'Lin Feng is a rising star. How could I possibly give up on him?'
Murong Yi Yun nodded slightly, a sharp glint in his eyes.
"The Patriarch is wise!"
The personal bodyguard immediately bowed, letting out a silent sigh of relief.
He secretly exchanged a glance with Murong Yuan. It was only after seeing Murong Yuan nod slightly that the great weight in his heart finally lifted.
"Hey, Young Master Lin, you can't go in there!"
"Young Master Lin, even though you are an honored guest of our Murong Family, dragging two bodies into the main house is going too far!"
"Please stop, Young Master Lin! If you take another step, we'll be forced to use violence!"
But just as the sound of Murong Yi Yun's voice faded, a commotion suddenly erupted outside.
"Young Master Lin?"
'Lin Feng? Didn't he leave?'
Hearing the voices from outside, the smiling Murong Yi Yun froze for a moment.
At the same time, he also noticed that the expressions on the faces of the Great Elder and the personal bodyguard who had served him for years were off.
"BANG!"
Before he could even process what was happening, the main door was suddenly kicked open. Lin Feng's glacial face appeared before them all.
"Patriarch Murong, I need an explanation."
Ignoring the three men in the room, whose expressions varied, Lin Feng walked right in and threw the dead Zhou Tianyu and the completely crippled Zhou Yi onto the floor in front of Murong Yi Yun.
"This… Lin Feng, what is the meaning of this? What happened?"
Murong Yi Yun's expression faltered. He didn't understand what this was all about. Everything was fine yesterday, so why would Lin Feng barge in so rudely today?
He glanced at the two men on the floor, then looked at Lin Feng in confusion.
"Patriarch Murong, you can stop playing dumb. I've already figured everything out."
"The Great Elder of your Murong Family sent people to kill me. I find it hard to believe you knew nothing about it."
Lin Feng snorted coldly, gave Murong Yi Yun a cool glance, and continued, "Your Murong Family is truly domineering. Just because I refused to join your family, you decided you had to kill me?"
Lin Feng's words caused Murong Yi Yun's expression to turn instantly ugly.
But he didn't look at Lin Feng. Instead, he looked up at Murong Yuan, whose face had already turned completely grim.
"Great Elder, is what Lin Feng said true?"
Murong Yi Yun's voice was calm, but his eyes had become incredibly sharp.
"Heh, I don't know who told him that."
"But I, Murong Yuan, am a man of status. I won't be slandered by some punk."
Murong Yuan's eyes were locked on Lin Feng. His body slowly straightened, and a powerful aura emanated from him.
The air in the entire room seemed to drop by several degrees because of his movement, as if it had plunged into the depths of winter.
"What? Getting angry out of shame? It seems I underestimated how domineering you are."
"Fine. In that case, I'll just have to see for myself how formidable the Murong Family really is."
With a cold shout, Lin Feng's figure transformed into a streak of light and shot forward.
"SWOOSH!"
His speed was like lightning. In an instant, he was in front of Murong Yuan. He threw a right punch, and a Fist Gang howled forth.
It blasted toward Murong Yuan with such terrifying force that the very air around it hummed.
Murong Yuan's eyes narrowed. Lin Feng's speed was indeed far beyond that of a normal Ancient Martial Artist, but this only surprised him for a moment before he regained his composure.
His straightened body shifted slightly to the side, dodging Lin Feng's attack. He then shot out his left palm, slapping it fiercely against Lin Feng's iron fist.
"BANG!"
With a dull thud, both figures retreated two or three steps, each staring coldly at the other.
"Murong Yuan, what are you doing?!"
"Lin Feng is an honored guest of our Murong Family! As the Great Elder, aren't your actions a blatant admission of guilt?!"
Seeing the two of them actually come to blows, Murong Yi Yun was stunned and hurriedly stood up to stop them.
But his body had long been ravaged by the Gu Insect for years. Forget stopping two Ancient Martial Artists, his current physical condition was worse than that of a healthy ordinary person!
"Damn it! Even now, at a time like this!"
"Murong Yi Yun, you're still siding with an outsider!"
Seeing Murong Yi Yun's action, Murong Yuan could no longer hold back and completely dropped his pretense.
"It's been twenty years! Twenty whole years!"
"Look what the Murong Family has become in your hands!"
"Not only have we not made any progress, we can barely even hold on to our original position! It's all because of your weakness and your inability to prioritize!"
"If you had just chosen to go into seclusion to cultivate and left the family for me to manage, none of this would have happened!"
"I, Murong Yuan, am your own brother! I am so much more outstanding than you, but Father passed the position to you, you weakling! On what grounds?!"
"The Gu Insect I planted was so close to killing you without a trace, but then this brat appeared out of nowhere! Of course I had to kill him!"
Murong Yuan roared with indignation as he spoke, as if he were the one who had been grievously wronged.
Meanwhile, Murong Yi Yun's brows furrowed tighter and tighter, his face turning dark as thunder.
"Enough!"
Finally, Murong Yi Yun could bear it no longer and erupted.
"Do you think those words can absolve you of your crimes?"
"If it weren't for your actions, why would Father have made me the Patriarch? Why would the Murong Family be in this state?"
"How would my son, Murong Tian, have died?"
"Why are those top hidden families in Hu Hai suppressing us? Are you telling me you don't know?!"
"If you hadn't been blinded by your own depravity and made a move on the Yun Family's princess, our Murong Family would have expanded dozens of times over by now!"
"Would I have needed to protect our foundation so carefully?!"
"You are indeed my own brother, but tell me, what has this 'own brother' of yours ever done for this family?!"
Murong Yi Yun's words were powerful and resonant, echoing through the main hall like a clap of thunder.
Hearing this, Murong Yuan's face flushed red, but he still tried to argue with twisted logic.
