Chapter 115 - New Feng Family Head
Chapter 115: New Feng Family Head
“Both of them work for Fourth Young Master! And these two are the leaders of Fourth Young Master’s hunting team!”
Auntie Wei said to Xu Ning.
“Fourth Young Master…”
Xu Ning quickly began to think.
Their identities were confirmed, so these two must be their enemies.
Moreover, when they were exposed and saw Auntie Wei and Xu Ning chase after them, they chose to flee immediately. They obviously did not want to meet them.
Their rivals appearing here was definitely suspicious.
“Chuanhe Mountain is huge, and the two of us came here to ambush an injured demon beast, what’s the problem?”
The feminine man took the lead to speak, “But you attacked us before we could even chase after the demon beast!”
After hearing this, the bearded man quickly reacted.
“You cut my hamstrings! You obviously want to violate the rules of competition, so you sneakily attacked me. I will definitely report this matter to the Family Head!”
The bearded man tore off his shirt and wrapped it around his legs.
Suddenly, Xu Ning and Auntie Wei fell into a passive state.
Auntie Wei and Xu Ning looked at each other.
“According to you, we’re the ones in the wrong here?”
Auntie Wei was not convinced. “You were hiding, so it is perfectly reasonable for us to suspect that you were trying to kill us. If we hadn’t noticed, you might have succeeded.”
“Nonsense!”
The bearded man said, “How could we know that both of you are here? And how could we possibly lead you here?”
After saying this, the bearded man seemed to sense that something was wrong, and he subconsciously glanced at the feminine man.
At the same time, the feminine man also frowned.
Auntie Wei and Xu Ning also noticed the subtle change in their expressions at the same time.
“This matter is not over!”
The feminine man was afraid of Xu Ning and Auntie Wei, and he said, “This matter will be settled by the Family Head soon!”
Afterwards, the two of them quickly prepared to leave.
“Stop!”
Auntie Wei noticed something was wrong, so she stopped the two of them.
But at this time, they heard a violent roar coming from the valley.
This roar had a thunderous force, like it could tear people apart.
‘This force…’
Xu Ning suddenly felt a sense of crisis.
“A void realm demon beast?”
This was Xu Ning’s first thought, but he quickly rejected it. ‘No, the aura of a void realm demon beast should be stronger, so it should be a semi void realm demon beast!’
“The demon beast is awake, run!”
The bearded man suddenly became impatient.
He was certain that because four high stage mortal realm warriors had appeared on its territory that it felt threatened.
As a demon beast that was about to give birth, it was extremely alert.
After the bearded man said this, Xu Ning and Auntie Wei reacted at the same time.
‘These two knew that there was a semi void realm demon beast here!’
He thought back to what the bearded man said just now and he easily inferred that the two of them were trying to bait him.
Xu Ning and Auntie Wei had never seen messenger Wu Liu either.
“You two are plotting against us!”
Auntie Wei was extremely angry.
If it hadn’t been the semi void realm demon beast getting closer, Auntie Wei would have already drawn a knife and chopped both of them into pieces.
“Leader Xu, let’s go!”
Auntie Wei forced herself to calm down. Knowing that she couldn’t waste any more time, she said to Xu Ning, “Once we get away from this semi void realm monster, let’s report them and make them pay!”
Auntie Wei grabbed Xu Ning and was about to rush up the hill.
However, the feminine man suddenly waved his forearm, throwing dozens of flying spikes at Xu Ning and Auntie Wei.
Xu Ning suddenly felt warning signs blaring in his head and turned away to avoid the flying spikes.
But because Auntie Wei was too close and that she was not as strong as Xu Ning, she could not react in time.
Several flying spikes hit her back, and its force penetrated into her body.
“What a shame!”
The feminine man looked regretful.
He thought he could kill both of them with a sneak attack.
Auntie Wei and Xu Ning were already suspicious of them. If they were allowed to leave, they would definitely conduct a follow-up investigation.
Thus, the feminine man wanted to kill them immediately.
He just didn’t expect that Xu Ning could react in time from such a short distance.
But the feminine man didn’t plan to continue firing spikes, as the semi void realm monster was already getting very close.
He grabbed the bearded man. “Go!”
“But we have not killed that kid yet!”
The bearded man said.
“It doesn’t matter, let’s run for our lives first. Once we get out of this valley, let’s ambush him again! Of course, it’s best if he gets eaten by the semi void realm monster!”
After that, the feminine man rushed up the hillside with the bearded man.
“Leader!”
Xu Ning reacted the moment Auntie Wei was injured.
After getting injured, Auntie Wei had completely lost consciousness.
He first put his hands around Auntie Wei’s wrist and said in relief, “She’s still breathing!”
Afterwards, Xu Ning carried Auntie Wei on his back and looked at the two who were fleeing away frantically.
Xu Ning felt a dangerous aura approaching behind him. In an instant, Xu Ning released all of his strength, activating his Step Cloud Wave to chase after the escaping two.
“That kid actually caught up!”
The feminine man looked back.
He saw a terrifying demon beast covered in scales and thorns. It had the shape of a giant crocodile, and it was quickly crawling in the mud.
He then saw Xu Ning carrying Auntie Wei on his back, catching up to them step by step.
“So fast?”
The bearded man also panicked.
With Xu Ning chasing after them, he would obviously also lead the semi void realm demon beast to their direction.
The feminine man turned to face Xu Ning and threw several spikes, but Xu Ning easily dodged them.
Xu Ning had enemies in front and a demon beast behind him, but he did not panic at all.
Although he might not be able to beat the semi void realm demon beast behind him, he could definitely catch up with the two men in front.
Sure enough, as Xu Ning expected, he soon caught up with the two of them.
The semi void realm demon beast was close behind him. They were almost out of the valley.
“He has passed us!”
The bearded man was anxious.
The two of them had now become the closest targets for the semi void realm demon beast.
“Damn it!”
The feminine man had already thrown out all of his spikes.
Seeing that the semi void realm demon beast was about to chase up to him, his eyes became fierce and he pushed the bearded man beside him.
“You!”
The bearded man staggered and fell backwards.
The semi void realm demon beast immediately dashed forward. Its giant claws suddenly slashed at him, and its feet stepped on the bearded man.
He didn’t even manage to scream. He just instantly turned into a meat pancake.
“How cruel!”
Xu Ning sneered. He had already climbed out of the valley first.
The feminine man relied on the bearded man to gain some time, so he was about to climb out of the valley as well.
But Xu Ning stood on top of the valley, blocking the feminine man.
“You!”
The feminine man noticed this.
He was flanked from both front and back.
Xu Ning had put away the short knife in his hands, but now he drew it out again, directly blocking the path of the feminine man.
The feminine man moved out of the way too slowly, so his shoulder was scratched by the knife, resulting in him losing balance.
The huge scaly demon beast behind him immediately accelerated and slapped him with its claw, turning him into a pool of minced meat.
Xu Ning didn’t stay here any longer, and he quickly fled away with Auntie Wei on his back.
Roar!
The semi void realm monster stood in the valley and let out a roar.
But because it was about to give birth, it did not continue to chase him, and it just returned to the valley below.
“I’m safe!”
Xu Ning felt the terrifying aura going further away.
Xu Ning stopped and found a relatively flat piece of land in the mountains, then placed Auntie Wei on the ground.
Xu Ning fumbled around Auntie Wei’s pockets.
He found a porcelain bottle.
Xu Ning opened the bottle cork, took out the dan medicine inside and stuffed it into Auntie Wei’s mouth. Xu Ning then activated his force and pushed the dan medicine into Auntie Wei’s stomach.
It was an Anti-injury Dan.
“The wounds from the spikes have stopped bleeding.”
Xu Ning quickly pulled out the spikes from Auntie Wei’s back.
“She should live.”
Xu Ning felt that Auntie Wei’s injury had stabilized.
However, even so, Auntie Wei was unable to regain consciousness because of her injuries.
‘Since they both died, we’ll easily be able to win the demon beast capture competition.’
Xu Ning had already helped Feng Chengyu win this competition.
Someone would inevitably investigate the deaths of the two later.
But Xu Ning was not afraid at all. As long as he told the truth, he only needed to find the guy named Wu Liu in the follow-up investigation, then hide the fact of him blocking the feminine man from escaping. By doing that, he could disguise himself as the victim.
Even though he was the one that had survived.
Xu Ning carried Auntie Wei on his back again and went back to the camp.
When they arrived at the camp, Xu Ning took the initiative to look for the transfer team and reported what had happened just now.
…
Two days went by.
Chun Rin Canton.
Feng Mansion.
Feng Qizhi, the current head of the family, read the letter from Chuanhe Mountain.
The letter gave a detailed description of the conflict and competition between the Feng Chengyu’s camp and the Feng Haoqi’s camp.
“This kid Haoqi…”
Feng Qizhi suddenly sighed. “Still too far behind Chengyu.”
‘Whether it is about hiring people or managing operations, the two are not comparable at all.’
Although the assessment had only gone on for half a month, Feng Qizhi already had some thoughts about the candidate for the next family head.
In terms of the dan medicine business, in only half a month, Feng Chengyu had opened up the channels of two canton cities and prefectures. Moreover, within Chun Rin Canton, she had reached some kind of agreement with the Xiao family and the Ye family, allowing the Feng family’s dan medicine to be sold through the Xiao and Ye family’s channels.
This showed that Feng Chengyu had already made the connections before the assessment.
On the other hand, Feng Haoqi did not accomplish anything during this half month period. He was even rejected by the people of the Xiao family and Ye family, bringing huge shame to his name.
In addition to that, Feng Haoqi was completely defeated in the competition in capturing demon beasts in Chuanhe Mountain.
His subordinates even harbored evil intentions. In the end, they were defeated by their own cleverness and lost their lives.
In Feng Qizhi’s opinion, Feng Haoqi was incompetent.
In fact, from the very beginning, Feng Qizhi wanted to pass on the position of family head to Feng Haoqi.
It’s not that he had a preference for Feng Haoqi, it’s just that he preferred to have a male family head.
As long as Feng Haoqi had the upper hand in the competitions, he would pass the position of family head to Feng Haoqi.
However, soon after the assessment began, Feng Haoqi was completely defeated, and he was surpassed by Feng Chengyu with no power to fight back.
This made Feng Qizhi extremely disappointed.
‘It’s a good thing to pass on the position of family head to Chengyu.’
Feng Qizhi thought back to Feng Chengyu’s growth.
His own daughter had been extremely strong ever since she was a child. She was also very competitive.
She didn’t love martial arts, but she was obsessed with family power.
Feng Qizhi suddenly felt that handing the family to Feng Chengyu was a good choice.
After Feng Qizhi learned of what happened in Chuanhe Mountain, Feng Chengyu also heard of the news.
She also received a letter.
“Miss Sister, what’s the situation with Xu Ning and Auntie Wei?”
Uncle Song stood by Feng Chengyu. After he waited for her to finish reading the letter, he asked.
Feng Chengyu looked at Uncle Song and smiled. “Uncle Song, the situation is looking good!”
“Really?”
Uncle Song showed a look of surprise.
He took the letter and read it quickly.
“Miss Sister’s vision is really amazing!”
Uncle Song said, “This Xu Ning not only killed the person who set up the trap, but also saved Auntie Wei!”
“Xu Ning really exceeded my expectations.”
Feng Chengyu did not hide her appreciation for Xu Ning. “Not only is he talented, he also has a sense of reason in him. When he is sent to the Yuelan Faction in the future, we have to maintain a good relationship with him. I think he is very likely to become a high-level member of the Yuelan Faction, at the very least a deacon!”
Uncle Song didn’t expect Feng Chengyu to be so optimistic about Xu Ning.
If Xu Ning could really become a deacon of the Yuelan Faction after Feng Chengyu was in charge, then with the help of Xu Ning’s power, Feng Chengyu could even completely take back power from the family clan elders.
“Let’s wait for the news, I understand that my father must be extremely disappointed with Feng Haoqi at this moment.”
Feng Chengyu was confident. “In at most ten days, I’m sure my father will make me the family head!”
“Congratulations, Miss!”
Uncle Song smiled.
If Feng Chengyu became the family head of the Feng mansion, then he would also be the right-hand man of the new Feng Family Head.
The foundation and strength of the family would inevitably rise to a higher level.
Feng Chengyu was also very happy when she heard this.
She sacrificed her youth as a woman, and after more than ten years of hard work, she had finally begun to see a return.
Ten days went by.
Just like Feng Chengyu expected, Feng Qizhi didn’t have much patience to wait for a few months. He just directly announced that he would hand over the control of the family to Feng Chengyu’s hands.
Feng Chengyu thus became the new female head of the Feng family.
More than ten days later, Xu Ning and Auntie Wei returned back to the city.
Feng Chengyu went to Xu Ning personally after going through the family affairs.
She not only fulfilled the promise of recommending Xu Ning to the Yuelan Faction, but also prepared a gift for Xu Ning.
