Liu Feng could not control his sudden outburst.
He did not expect what Cai Guo said even one bit. They were allies, sure. They wanted a piece of the Hong family, sure. They were oppressed by the Hong family, once again, all good arguments.
But saying that Liu Feng was a son-in-law of the Cai family? In what universe was that true?
He glared at Cai Guo.
"You better have a good explanation for this blemish on my reputation. In what world am I your son in law?" Liu Feng transmitted to Cai Guo.
The Imperial Advisor also seemed to have the same question.
"When did the Cai family have matrimony with the son of the man who shook the capital twenty years ago? I was not aware of this, and I don't think any major power knows this as well." he asked.
"Liu Feng is engaged to the young lady of the Cai family in Kaishi. This is something that all of us know. He is a part of the Cai family, for all intents and purposes. Of course, we will stand by him when someone like the Hong family tries and bullies him." Cai Guo puffed his chest.
"What is this stupid reasoning? Is the royal family really going to tolerate this? The entire capital will be shaken because of their selfish reasons." Hong Qiu shouted.
"Anyone that dares try to kill me will need to die as well. I have a grudge on both the Hong family and the Gu family. Luckily, both of them seem to be here, so I can take care of you guys together. Leave us alone for a single day, Imperial Advisor, and I will finish off this scourge on society." Liu Feng said.
"What is this impudence? Both of you! This is the capital. Not a place where you bicker like children. The king will not allow a fight to take place right now! It is absolutely out of question!" the Imperial Advisor shook his head.
"That is totally understandable. I am just here to see the sights of the Hong family that wronged me. That is why, for the next few weeks, I am planning on sitting here, waiting for the Hong family to open their doors. I mean, keeping them closed is going to cost a little more than what they can afford, right?" Liu Feng smiled.
Hong Qiu's face twisted in many ways possible as he looked at Liu Feng with anger.
If this was going to be a battle of attrition, then it would be a battle they would lose.
Maintaining a protecting array was possible, as was made clear in the Lush Green sect, but who had enough high grade spirit stones to maintain the array for long?
"Fellow cultivators, I beseech upon you again. Now is not the time to fight. We must all be a united front. Surely, the Hong family can compensate the young noble for the mistake they committed." The imperial advisor suggested.
"That is a good suggestion. What would you trade for your life, imperial advisor? If I give you a few high grade spirit stones, will you hand me the life?" Liu Feng asked, his voice as sarcastic as it could get.
"How dare you?!" The imperial advisor was about to snarl at Liu Feng, but he stopped.
That was because he understood what Liu Feng had just said. No strong cultivator would forgive someone for such an offense.
They had their own pride, and would only take revenge.
Not knowing what to do, the imperial advisor sighed.
He looked at both parties, and he knew that there was no way that they would reconcile after this. This was going to be a battle to the death.
"Then I did what I could. There is nothing else. But just know that when the battle is over, remember that there will be no winner. Even after the battle, the winner must answer directly to His Majesty, the king. And I promise that this will not be a comfortable talk." The imperial advisor said with a heavy heart.
Swoosh!
Everyone looked up. There was another person who was approaching them.
A man appeared in the air, and hovered above the imperial advisor.
"Senior Zhen. This is not the time to be talking with these bastards. One of them has tried to take the life of the second prince. It is an offense that the palace should not tolerate. I suggest you move aside, but if you join me, that will be even better." This new entry said.
"Tian Wan." The imperial advisor sighed.
"What are you doing here? And what is this about the second prince? I thought that he was in the moon pavilion." The imperial advisor asked.
"Do not pay dumb, senior Zhen. Everyone knows of the incidents in the moon pavilion. The fact that this impudent fool did not bend his knee is common knowledge." Tian Wan said.
"So that's how I remember you!!! You ran away from me after daring to attack me. How does it feel to be one of the few to stay in one piece after the fact?" Liu Man suddenly realized.
Liu Feng turned around to look at Liu Man with confusion.
"When the hell did he attack you? That are you talking about?" He asked, transmitting this to Liu Man
"His pressure reached me, and that is offense enough. Let me take care of the fool who dares to do this." Liu Man said, cracking his knuckles as he stepped forward.
Tian Wan stepped back. He lost the battle against Liu Feng back then in mere minutes.
He did not want to start this battle without support from those behind him.
"What a coward. And to think that the second prince actually relies on you." Liu Feng laughed.
