"Young master! You are actually alive?" the guard came to his senses.
"Of course I am alive. Until now, you thought that I was dead? What happened while I was gone?" Liu Feng asked.
"Master Liu Qian has disappeared! The entire city is in turmoil with the entry of the Hong Family, which is threatening your own family!" the guard said.
"The Hong family? From the capital?" Liu Feng's face changed. That was because he knew exactly why this problem came.
Cai Lien already warned him that Hong Jimin, the strongest of the Inner sect was after him because he was engaged to her.
And now that he was presumed dead, it was obvious that they wanted the Liu Family to scrap this marriage contract so that Hong Jimin could marry Cai Lien.
He was probably using force, but he had the force of a three under family, one of the strongest powers in the entire kingdom.
"Where is the Dong family now? Which family is hosting them?" Liu Feng asked.
"The Bai family. Which other family is qualified to host a family of that scale? It is said that the Hong Family even has intentions to take over the entire city because of some secret that it has, but that much is over me." the guard said.
"Why are you telling me all this? I thought that all of you hated the idiot young master. What changed your mind?" Liu Feng chuckled.
"How can we dare call the tiger of Kaishi City an idiot young master? You are the inspiration for all the kids. They all want to become as strong as you, and hide their power as expertly as you did. You became a hero of the city after you won the martial gathering!" the guard said.
"I didn't know that a simple martial gathering had such importance. Anyway, I need to go inside. Father is no longer here, but mother might be. I need to see if there is anything here left for me." Liu Feng sighed and walked inside.
The city was quiet. Abnormally quiet. Liu Feng went to the Liu Residency, where the guards was shocked more than at the city gates.
"Young master! You are finally here! I shall inform the elders immediately!" the guard said.
"I will be in my place. Once the elders want to see me, I will go there immediately." Liu Feng said.
"As you wish, young master." the guard ran inside, while the second stood there to stand guard. Liu Feng, meanwhile, walked inside and went into his own courtyard.
It was deserted. There was not a single person there. Not his mother, and not his father. He wasn't even sure what awaited him here.
After a few hours of just standing there, immobile in thought, a guard came to him.
"The elders wish to see you at the council, young master. They wish for you to go there." he said.
Liu Feng nodded, and he disappeared from where he stood. The guard was just frozen still.
"Why does the young master seem so strong? It is like he is one of those unfathomable elders of the family." the guard thought to himself, but quickly shrugged at the mere thought.
Meanwhile, Liu Feng appeared at the family pavilion, the same place that he had come when he first came here. And the situation was also very similar.
All of the elders had been assembled, but this time, the situation and problem was much bigger.
He went up those stairs and looked inside. All the elders were seated, bar one. The seat that his father was supposed to occupy, was empty.
"Feng'er. Do you realise what trouble you have caused?" Liu Hong's voice permeated the entire building.
To this, Liu Feng had no answer. He knew that he disappeared for too long, and this made everyone worried sick!
"Forgive me grandfather. A few things that I can not explain happened." Liu Feng said.
"Forget all that, father! We cannot possibly let this small boy cause the ruin of the entire family! What good is having a marriage contract that will only cause our demise? Let us hand this bastard to the Hong Family along with the contract and let them do whatever they want with him." Liu Zhu, the second elder, said.
"Shut up! The day when the Liu Family gives one of their own to an enemy, we will all perish! We will either die fighting or see ourselves triumph. But never, will we sacrifice one of our own to the enemy like that! If it was your son that was in this situation, would you say this?" Liu Hong shouted furiously.
"But he is not of Liu Blood! He does not deserve this!" Liu Zhu said,
"That does not matter. He is my grandson and the future of the family. While your stupid sons are still stuck in the foundation establishment stage, look at him. Can you see through his cultivation? He is the true successor to Liu Qian. Now, the family has another Nascent Soul cultivator, and this one has a chance to enter the Xiantian realm!" Liu Hong said.
"They saw through my cultivation so easily? How strong are they?" Liu Feng used his mind eye to check the cultivations of the elders around him.
"Wow. All of them are in the Nascent Soul stage, like I expected. But the top five elders are all in the peak of the Nascent Soul realm? And what is the cultivation of grandfather? What exactly is the pseudo Xiantian realm? Even the bandit leader had that." Liu Feng though to himself.
Meanwhile, the elders were still trying to digest the fact that the child who left home in the Foundation establishment stage, returned back in the Nascent Soul realm! It was truly inconceivable!
