Lin Fan waited for Feng Huang and Feng Tian to calm down a bit before he spoke again.
He said, "Don't be too hard on Xiao Huo. He is Feng Yu's fiance after all."
Hearing this affirmation, Feng Ling couldn't help revealing a surprised look.
This was something that she had tried to get out of Lin Fan before, but she had never been able to get it. All that he had said before was, "Let them decide on their own. If Xiao Huo agrees, I won't say anything."
But now, he was giving the affirmation that he was willing to engage Xiao Huo to Feng Yu.
This was not a small matter.
After all, Xiao Huo was the true descendant of the Phoenix Race.
This was not an identity that could be taken lightly.
As for the two that this directly involved, Xiao Huo had a confused look on his face while Feng Yu couldn't help blushing.
Xiao Huo didn't really understand the meaning of getting engaged since he was still a child, but since it was something that Lin Fan had set for him, it wasn't as if he would go against it.
Feng Yu was completely for this since she had fallen for Xiao Huo the moment that she saw him. She had tried to get Xiao Huo to agree to this before, but he had never given her this affirmation.
But now that Lin Fan had, this was as good as done.
On the other hand, both Feng Huang and Feng Tian revealed ugly expressions when they recovered from the shock of hearing this announcement. The two of them boiled for a bit and seemed like they were about to explode, but before they could…
The Great Elder suddenly gave a clap and a happy laugh before saying, "Good, good, good!"
The Great Elder had even said good three times, which showed just how much he approved of this and just how excited he was about this prospect.
He had been worried about how to tie their true descendant to their Phoenix Race.
Since the true descendant was already following Lin Fan, the Void God's successor, there was no way for them to bind them to the Phoenix Race. After all, it stated in the prophecy that the true descendant would follow the Void God's successor.
So they would have no way of restricting Xiao Huo's freedoms and keeping him here to bind his heart to the Phoenix Race.
But this was the perfect solution.
If Xiao Huo were to marry a member of the Phoenix Race, namely Feng Yu who was the sister of the new Red Phoenix Tribe head, there was no doubt that this would create a strong bond between Xiao Huo and the Phoenix Race.
Once that happened, they wouldn't need to worry about Xiao Huo's relationship with the Phoenix Race.
The only thing that they needed to ensure that Feng Tian remained in the position of the Red Phoenix Tribe's head.
But that was easy for the elders who controlled the Phoenix Race.
With this, all of their problems would be solved.
That is except for Feng Huang and Feng Tian.
They had just regained Feng Yu in their lives and they were willing to do anything to protect her. They definitely wouldn't let her get engaged that easily, especially not to someone that they didn't know at all.
At the same time though, they had completely forgotten that they didn't know Feng Yu that well in the first place.
Feng Yu had gone with her mother, Feng Ling into exile, so it wasn't as if she grew up with them.
The worst part of it all was…the clear age difference that was between them.
With the difference in physiques, it just looked like a crime no matter how they looked at it.
So even if it meant offending the elders, Feng Huang and Feng Tian decided that they wouldn't allow this engagement to happen.
When the grandfather and grandson looked at each other, there was a determined look of understanding and cooperation that appeared in their eyes.
Both of them stood firmly in between Feng Yu and Xiao Huo, not allowing either of them to have any vision of the other.
Feng Huang then said in a firm voice, "No! Xiao Yu is too young to be engaged! Not to mention that the other side is clearly too old!"
Feng Tian glared at Xiao Huo and said, "Who do you think you are? Did you really think that you could take my little sister away?"
Both of them showed an aggression that really didn't befit the image that they had shown off before.
But Lin Fan just revealed a bitter smile when he heard all of this.
He then said, "Xiao Huo is younger than Feng Yu."
When they heard this, both of them couldn't help revealing shocked looks. Then they both looked at Xiao Huo with strange looks.
Feng Huang didn't hesitate to release his spiritual sense to sweep Xiao Huo.
As he did, his expression couldn't help filling with more and more shock until he said, "It's true, he really is younger."
Feng Tian revealed an even stranger look before saying in a hesitant voice, "Are you sure?"
Feng Huang gave a nod to confirm this.
When he used his spiritual sense, he had checked Xiao Huo's bone age.
He had confirmed that Xiao Huo was indeed younger than Feng Yu and it was by a large amount. Even though he looked like this, Feng Yu was actually the one that was much older…
Feng Huang just couldn't believe this.
If he looked like this at such a young age, just what would he look like when he got even older?
He couldn't help feeling scared for Feng Yu as this thought passed through his mind.
The same thought passed through Feng Tian's mind and he revealed a look that was even more determined to separate the two of them.
But in the end, it was Feng Yu who settled this matter.
She raised her hand and slapped the two of them on the back of their heads.
Both Feng Huang and Feng Tian didn't dare resist at all and just let Feng Yu abuse them however she wanted. But she just slapped them a few times before moving past them towards Xiao Huo.
When she came closer to Xiao Huo, both of them suddenly wanted to go forward to block them again. However, when they got close, Feng Yu raised her hands again as if she was about to slap them again.
Both of them immediately flinched when they saw her do this.
Just like this, the three of them played a game of cat and mouse until Feng Yu was back beside Xiao Huo.
As she stood there, she raised her arms for Xiao Huo to pick her up.
However, this time Xiao Huo didn't do the same thing he normally did.
He could tell that there was some kind of relationship between Feng Yu and the two behind her because of the similar auras that they had. With the way that the two of them were glaring at him, he really felt awkward about doing something like this.
But then Feng Yu turned around and threatened to slap the two of them again, making them finally turn around and stop glaring at Xiao Huo. Then she turned back to Xiao Huo and raised her hand in the same threatening manner towards Xiao Huo.
Xiao Huo felt like there was an invisible pressure that was coming from Feng Yu, so in the end, he bent down to pick her up.
Once he had picked her up, the pressure that had been on him was released and she looked at him with a bright smile. But then she turned back towards Feng Huang and Feng Tian who had been glaring daggers at Xiao Huo.
She raised her hand once again to look like she was about to slap them and glared at them until they finally stopped.
When Lin Fan saw all of this, he couldn't help revealing a bitter smile.
It seemed like his "son" had learned from him and had become a man who couldn't stand up to his wife.
As for where they had learned it, it was naturally from observing him with Angela.
Whenever he was with Angela, as long as she put any kind of pressure on him, he would immediately crumble and follow her demands. He had been completely broken by her and was completely under her thumb…this was something that his sons had picked up from watching him.
While he wanted to teach his son not to act this way, he knew that it was impossible for him since he would never be able to change himself.
As long as he didn't change himself, then there was no way that they would be able to learn anything from him.
So he hoped that Feng Yu would be kind to Xiao Huo.
He wished that all of the girls who had been set up with his "sons" would be kind to them.
After watching the four of them go on like this for a bit, Lin Fan turned back to the Great Elder and asked, "Shall we head back then?"
The Great Elder gave a strong nod with a large smile on his face.
He had no idea what to expect when he came to the Red Phoenix Tribe today, but he was very happy with how things turned out.
In his mind, things couldn't have turned out better.
