Vol 2 Ch 40: A Heated Dispute
Feng Zhaoting's infamous indulgence in his younger brother was no secret in Destiny Hall. Not only was his overprotectiveness well-known, but even uttering a single insult against Feng Yizhou could result in the annihilation of an entire clan. Killing him outright? Unthinkable.
The gravity of the situation made Xie Feng break out in a cold sweat. His voice trembled as he managed a stiff smile. "Elder Ling, you must be joking…"
Zhang Xuan shook his head. "No need to be so tense. This has nothing to do with you. Just lead the way."
Seeing Zhang Xuan's composed yet stern demeanor, Xie Feng realized the matter had escalated beyond his pay grade. Without another word, he led the way forward, his thoughts racing.
The contest for vice hall master was one thing, a mere political rivalry. But to outright kill Feng Yizhou? That was a declaration of enmity, a feud that could not be resolved peacefully. This incident was bound to throw Destiny Hall into chaos.
Following Xie Feng, Zhang Xuan remained calm, even rubbing his face to relax his features. Meanwhile, in the hall master's chamber, Feng Zhaoting's fists were clenched tight, his gaze locked in an unwavering stare.
"Hall Master, that was my brother—my flesh and blood! And now, he’s been slaughtered by Ling Buyang. I demand justice! If not, I will settle this in blood!"
Han Xiao frowned deeply. "Feng Elder, calm yourself. This might be a misunderstanding. Let’s hear from Ling Buyang before we make any decisions."
