Chapter 251: Chapter 251: The Trouble Caused by Peng Yu
Upon hearing this, Song Wanning glanced at the woman and said nonchalantly, "Study hard. A few days ago, I ran into a talisman cultivator who was an absolute knockout!"
She put on a look of fond remembrance, which, as expected, spurred the woman on. The woman immediately buckled down and buried her head in her studies again.
Life by Feng Youming’s side was quite comfortable, and she had no desire to be pushed aside by someone else.
With the chatter finally gone, Song Wanning’s expression relaxed slightly. She let out a sigh of relief and glanced at the woman.
’Putting on an act is exhausting sometimes.’
When dawn finally broke, Song Wanning sent the woman away and immediately shut the door again.
Not long after the woman left, several other "lovers" swarmed her, their words dripping with sarcasm.
The woman didn’t argue. Instead, she said with a shy and timid look, "Honestly... last night, he wore me out completely. He didn’t let me sleep at all..."
The others: "..."
’Shameless!’
"Sigh, never mind that. I need to go back and rest. Oh, my back is so sore..."
The woman said, rubbing her lower back as she walked away.
She wasn’t lying. Hadn’t she been put through the wringer all night?
What the others thought was none of her business.
The moment she left, the other women departed as well, grinding their teeth in frustration.
The courtyard returned to silence, and a figure emerged from the shadows.
She frowned, her face filled with confusion.
’Feng Youming only went out for a bit. Why would the Clan Leader order me to monitor his every move?’
’Could Feng Youming have been bought by the outside Song Family?’
’That’s impossible!’
She glanced toward the courtyard again. ’For now, Feng Youming doesn’t seem to be a problem, but I have to obey the Clan Leader’s orders. I’ll keep watching.’
...
For the next few days, Song Wanning’s life was very quiet. She had sensed someone watching her from the shadows.
Feng Jinchuan had gone to some trouble, sending a Late-stage Divinity Transformation Cultivator to observe her. If not for her powerful Divine Soul, she would never have noticed.
This put her on high alert. ’It seems Feng Jinchuan has noticed something is wrong after all.’
To be safe, she contacted Bai Yang again, warning him not to make any rash moves.
If his whereabouts were exposed, Feng Jinchuan would immediately connect it back to her.
After that, she started living a placid life within the Feng Family, spending each day in leisurely comfort.
She kept up this act for half a month. Finally, the Cultivator watching her from behind hadn’t appeared for two days.
She had just breathed a sigh of relief when someone came to tell her that Feng Jinchuan had urgent business and wanted to see her.
"Understood."
Song Wanning immediately hurried toward the meeting hall. When she arrived, she found it was already full.
Even the two Peak of Divinity Transformation Cultivators were present, and everyone wore a grave expression.
’It seems something major has happened.’
Her mind raced as she found her designated seat and sat down.
Feng Jinchuan glanced up at Song Wanning before quickly looking away. According to another elder’s report, Feng Youming showed no abnormalities. ’I must have been overthinking it.’
’But still...’
He suppressed the thought and began, "Now that everyone is here, I have something important to announce."
"Peng Yu has killed Feng Liuguang. His soul token has shattered."
"I only learned it was Peng Yu’s doing through a family Secret Technique."
A murderous aura radiated from Feng Jinchuan. Although the major families were not on friendly terms, they always showed each other enough courtesy to avoid taking lives.
But this time, Peng Yu had actually killed Feng Liuguang. The Feng Family could not simply stand by and do nothing.
"What? Has Peng Yu gone mad? How dare she harm one of the Feng Family?"
"Let’s go! We’ll settle the score with them right now!"
"That’s right! The Peng Family must hand over Peng Yu! I’ve disliked her for a long time, and now she dares to step all over us!"
The elders were furious. Peng Yu’s actions had not only cost the Feng Family a disciple but were also a slap in the face. Who could tolerate that?
Meanwhile, Song Wanning sifted through her memories for fragments concerning Feng Liuguang. He was a silent and withdrawn man who disliked company and had almost no friends in the entire Feng Family.
’How could a simple man like that get involved with Peng Yu?’
As she was pondering this, Feng Jinchuan, seated at the head, suddenly looked at her. "Feng Youming, what do you think we should do?"
"I want to hear your opinion."
His words instantly drew everyone’s gaze to Feng Youming.
’The Clan Leader seems to favor Feng Youming especially highly recently, even asking for his opinion on a matter like this.’
The crowd’s gazes were rather peculiar, but they had no idea Song Wanning was sneering inwardly.
’This Feng Jinchuan... he really hasn’t given up, has he?’
"In my opinion, it’s obviously a life for a life!"
"I ran into that Peng Yu a few days ago, and she still has designs on me. When she failed to seduce me, she must have set her sights on Feng Liuguang. Keeping someone like her around is just asking for trouble!"
With that, she stood up. "Clan Leader, I believe we should go after her right now, before Peng Yu has a chance to escape!"
As soon as she said this, the others immediately chimed in.
"Yes, Clan Leader, we should go at once! What if she’s already run off?"
"Let’s go, let’s go!"
Everyone was bristling with righteous fury, united against a common enemy, all looking like they were ready for a fight.
Feng Jinchuan was silent for a moment, staring at Song Wanning for a few seconds before he too stood up.
"Let’s go."
He casually brushed his sleeves, and in a flash, his figure was already outside the meeting hall.
Seeing this, the elders hurriedly followed. Song Wanning, mixed in with the crowd, walked alongside an elder she was on "good terms" with.
Meanwhile, Peng Yu had also sensed the crisis. The moment Feng Liuguang died, a bright glint flashed in her eyes, and she couldn’t suppress the excitement in her heart.
’I finally succeeded!’
’But the Feng Family must know by now. This is no place to linger; I need to find a place to hide.’
Her expression was grim as she ran, pondering her next move. If the Feng Family couldn’t catch her, they certainly wouldn’t let the matter rest.
’Where is the safest place?’
Peng Yu’s mind spun rapidly. At a time like this, she had to remain calm.
’My experiment has succeeded. I absolutely cannot let the Feng Family ruin everything at this critical juncture. As long as I can hide out for a while, I’ll be able to achieve my goal.’
She thought it over and over. ’They say the most dangerous place is the safest. They probably won’t suspect I’m hiding on Feng Family territory right from the start.’
Suddenly, her eyes lit up as she thought of a cave.
Back when she was trying to get close to Feng Youming, she had followed him to a cave. It was a natural cave he had found, warm in the winter and cool in the summer—very comfortable.
Feng Youming would occasionally go there to stay for a while. ’He’s definitely with the Feng Family looking for me right now. In the short term, he probably wouldn’t think to look for me there.’
At this thought, Peng Yu changed direction and hurried toward the cave.
...
At the gates of the Peng Family estate, the Peng Family Patriarch stood with his elders, facing off against the members of the Feng Family.
The Peng Clan Leader was a burly man, and his mere presence was intimidating.
Behind his naturally imposing gaze was a bellyful of curses. ’That bastard Peng Yu! This time she’s really gone too far and brought disaster upon us!’
