The main hall was in havoc as soon as Zheng Hongzhi left.
“Zheng Hongzhi has control over most of our family’s transportation channels, what are we going to do now…”
“Exactly, no other family will work with us.”
“It’s going to be a disaster if this happens! Wasn’t that a reckless decision from Luo Feng…”
The higher management in Luo Family began discussing the family’s fate.
Although nobody pointed it out directly, many of them thought that Luo Feng acted too rashly.
Finally, a white-haired elder stood up.
“Luo Tian, Zheng Hongzhi and the others went against you with the intention of taking over your power and tearing the family apart, it wasn’t wrong to oust them from the family, but now isn’t the right time.
“The current situation in Panlong City is already unfavorable to us. Without the channels that they have control over, I’m afraid that we won’t be able to hold up for long. As the patriarch of this family, you must make a decision.”
The others looked at Luo Tian too.
Luo Tian panicked. He would not have been threatened by Zheng Hongzhi if he had an idea of what to do, thus he looked at Luo Feng.
Luo Feng smiled as he walked toward Luo Xiong.
“Second Granduncle, you don’t have to worry about the channels, Feng Family has agreed to work for us.”
“Feng Family!”
The crowd was in an uproar upon hearing that. Indeed, they did not need to worry about the channels anymore if they gained help from Feng Family.
“But Feng Yutang’s a very wise man who only cares about benefits. Is he really going to help us now?” Someone questioned.
Luo Xiong looked at Luo Feng seriously. “Luo Feng, this affects our family’s fate directly, don’t speak carelessly!”
He did not believe that Feng Family would cooperate with Luo Family during this crucial moment.
“How dare I speak carelessly about this? It’s a serious matter!”
Luo Feng retrieved the agreement given by Feng Family as he responded.
“This is the cooperation agreement from Feng Family!”
“What! The cooperation agreement!” The crowd exclaimed.
There were no two ways about it if it was really the cooperation agreement.
Nevertheless, some of them were still doubtful as they found it strange that they did not hear about the cooperation between Feng Family and Luo Family.
“Second Granduncle, please take a look.”
Luo Feng showed Luo Xiong the agreement but used his thumb to block the condition regarding Feng Lingyue.
Luo Xiong was relieved when he saw the agreement. He stroked his beard as he nodded with a smile. “Yes, yes! This cooperation agreement is real.”
“If it’s real, Luo Family will be safe!”
The other Luo Family members rejoiced.
“Feng’er, quick, show me!” Luo Tian approached Luo Feng impatiently.
“Father.”
Luo Feng handed the agreement to Luo Tian.
When Luo Tian read the agreement, he paused for a while when he noticed the condition at the bottom, but he quickly folded it then laughed.
“Even God is helping us!”
Luo Xiong who was delighted praised Luo Feng to Luo Tian, “Luo Tian, you have a good son.”
He could tell that Luo Tian had no idea about the agreement.
This meant that Luo Feng was the one who contributed to it!
Luo Tian was beaming with happiness as Luo Feng had been full of surprises!
“Everyone, don’t leave in a hurry, let’s celebrate! It’s my treat!” He announced.
Not only was Zheng Hongzhi successfully eliminated through the family meeting, but Luo Feng’s strength truly surprised Luo Tian. Luo Tian felt as lively as a youth.
“Congratulations, Patriarch!”
The other rose to congratulate Luo Tian before they dispersed.
A brief moment later, Luo Tian and Luo Feng were the only people left in the main hall.
“Feng’er, why did I not hear about this agreement at all?”
Luo Tian asked Luo Feng once the crowd left.
“Father…”
Luo Feng briefly mentioned his visit to Feng Family in the morning as he knew that he could not hide it from his father.
“I see, it was Lingyue the little girl.”
Luo Tian nodded, then frowned again. “But Feng’er, wouldn’t we have ruined Lingyue’s life if Luo Family doesn’t become the number one family in ten days?”
Luo Feng replied seriously, “Father, I wouldn’t have accepted this cooperation agreement if I wasn’t confident about defeating Li Family to become the number one family, not even if Feng Lingyue agreed to help me!”
“Oh?”
Luo Tian smiled when he saw that his son showed strong confidence. “After not meeting for two years, I see you’ve gotten better at keeping people guessing. A man’s words carry weight, I hope you keep them!”
“Mm!” Luo Tian nodded.
Luo Feng returned to his courtyard after bidding his father farewell.
“Young Master, you’re back!”
Zi Ling immediately greeted him with glimmering eyes.
“Young Master, you were very cool! Everyone’s talking about your performance during the meeting, they say that you’re a genius! You definitely taught Zheng Hongzhi and his son a good lesson.”
“Really? Do you think so?” Luo Feng chuckled.
“Mm!”
Zi Ling nodded. Later, her shoulders trembled slightly as she began tearing.
“Silly girl, aren’t you happy that I was so majestic earlier? Why are you crying?” Luo Feng stroked her hair.
Zi Ling looked up and pouted her lips. “I’m just too happy. People used to make vicious remarks about you! Let’s see who dares to do that now! They’re going to be envious that I’m able to serve you.”
“Haha… Zi Ling, let them be. In the future, I’m going to make everyone in the Billow Dynasty, no, everyone in Zhenwu Continent be envious of you!” Luo Feng laughed out loud.
Zi Ling looked at him with her watery eyes.
She would have thought that one must have gone mad to say something like that, but somehow, he believed that Luo Feng could do it.
After comforting Zi Ling, Luo Feng retrieved his Tiger Essence Saber from his room to continue his cultivation.
“It’s quite inconvenient that my weapon’s not always with me, it’ll be great if I have a Storage Soul Artifact.”
Luo Feng thought about Bing Ruolan’s Storage Bangle when he looked at his one-person-tall Tiger Essence Saber.
“I must make a Storage Soul Artifact one day.”
He took a deep breath once he decided and began cultivating his blade technique.
Although he had seventy-percent confidence about defeating the Li Family brothers, it was not enough.
With the cooperation agreement at stake, Luo Feng must not fail during Hunting Meet in ten days!
He had to work harder!
…
At night.
Many delicious dishes were prepared for dinner that night.
“Is Xiao’er not done with his isolated cultivation? He didn’t even show up when it’s such an important day,” Yang Qing expressed her dissatisfaction as she took some food for Luo Feng.
She had hoped for a nice dinner with everyone present since Luo Feng finally returned after two years. Besides, it was an important day.
“Mother, don’t blame Big Brother, he must be working hard because he wants to contribute to the family during Hunting Meet.” Luo Feng smiled.
Luo Feng could tell that his eldest brother was previously at a bottleneck in his cultivation, and was going to advance to the next boundary any time. His brother must be focusing on the advancement since he received the manuals of Flying on Grass and Crescent Moon Claw Technique, two Yellow Rank Upper Class martial arts!
“Hahaha… Second Younger Brother, Mother’s right, I can’t be absent on this important day.”
While they conversed, cheerful laughter was heard. Luo Xiao who appeared to be radiant strode in.
“Big Brother.” Luo Feng smiled when he saw Luo Xiao.
“Xiao’er, you advanced!”
Luo Tian was surprised when he sensed richer vital energy from Luo Xiao.
“Mm, I just did.” Luo Xiao nodded happily.
Swoosh!
Luo Tian stood beside Luo Xiao in the blink of an eye, then he pressed Luo Xiao’s wrist.
“Your liver’s full of vitality! Your eyes are spirited! Level Six Meridian Cycle Boundary, Heroic Boundary! Nice, nice, nice!” Luo Tian was elated.
He looked at Luo Xiao strangely once he returned to his seat. “This is odd. I initially thought that you’ll advance to Heroic Boundary only after half a month, I can’t believe that you did it so quickly…”
“It’s because of Second Younger Brother…”
Just as Luo Xiao was about to explain, Luo Feng quickly coughed to signal him to stop.
“Feng’er?” What does Feng’er have to do with this?” Luo Tian was confused.
“Did I mention Second Younger Brother? I don’t remember that…” Luo Feng acted dumb.
“Are you brothers hiding something from us?” Yang Qing squinted her eyes at them.
“No!”
Luo Feng and Luo Xiao answered at the same time.
Seeing that Yang Qing was not going to let this go, Luo Xiao quickly changed the topic. He asked Luo Feng, “Second Younger Brother, I heard that you were very outstanding during the family meeting, what exactly happened?”
Yang Qing immediately forgot about her question earlier. She replied, “Your second younger brother is our family’s hero now.”
“Oh?” Luo Xiao was even more interested.
Afterward, Yang Qing briefly spoke about the incident.
“Second Younger Brother, you actually beat up Zheng Yuan, that’s awesome! It’s a pity that I wasn’t there to witness the father and the son being embarrassed…” Luo Xiao responded.
“They’re just two clowns, there wasn’t much to see.” Luo Feng shook his head.
“Feng Lingyue is such a righteous little girl! She actually sacrificed for you, you must thank her well,” Luo Xiao commented.
“Mm.” Luo Feng nodded. He was also very surprised that Feng Lingyue was willing to do so.
“How can you just thank her?”
Yang Qing looked at Luo Feng. “Feng’er, Lingyue’s a very nice girl, and I’m very fond of her too. How about you just marry her?”
