"Hmph! This is outrageous! This Pang Wensheng is becoming more and more outrageous!"
Ji Wuhen slammed his hand on the table. "Old Feng, I know you've been kind to Pang Wensheng, but you can't be too biased towards him! This Lin family absolutely cannot be tolerated. In my opinion, we should just send someone to wipe them out! It'll be a warning to them!"
Ji Wuhen has a fiery temper; he's quick to threaten violence at the slightest provocation, and his approach to problem-solving is quite direct.
Feng Li shook his head. "Old Ji, we Divine Blood have always been detached from worldly affairs. None of us know what's happening outside. A single powerhouse has a lot of influence in the local area. This is really inappropriate. How about this, let's just call Wen Sheng over and see what he has to say?"
Chen Fusheng suddenly spoke up, "Chief Feng, I know that Pang Wensheng is your outstanding student, but he has indeed been somewhat biased in his treatment of the Lin family. That young man from the Lin family is only in his early twenties, yet he appointed him to the important position of Inspector of Eight Prefectures, allowing him to wield great power and indiscriminately kill innocent people. Don't you think this is absurd?"
"What? He's only twenty and he's already an imperial inspector of eight prefectures?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Wuhen was outraged and rebuked, "This is utterly ridiculous! What qualifications can someone so young have? He's probably not even settled yet. This Pang Wensheng is simply making a fool of himself!"
"Old Feng, in my opinion, you should leave this matter alone. My Ji family will send a few people to raid the Lin family!" Ji Wuhen sneered.
"Uh..." Feng Li didn't know what to say for a moment.
A mere twenty-something-year-old imperial inspector of eight prefectures—that's probably unprecedented in any dynasty. This Pang Wensheng is indeed being rather frivolous.
"Who says someone in their twenties can't be an imperial inspector? As long as someone is outstanding, I don't think there's any problem with them becoming an imperial inspector or even a Grand Secretary!"
Just then, a clear voice came from outside.
Then, a tall and handsome figure walked into the courtyard.
The woman was also in her early twenties, with a beautiful face. She came to Feng Li's side and said sweetly, "Grandpa, weren't you in seclusion cultivating? Why did you sneak over to play chess with Grandpa Ji again!"
Feng Hongye wore a reproachful expression.
Given Grandpa's current condition, he should calm his mind and retreat into seclusion to preserve his lifespan; he should not go out.
Feng Li smiled wryly and said, "I'm really bored. Besides, Grandpa just plays chess; he won't fight with that old man. Don't worry!"
He and Ji Wuhen used to hang out together a lot when they were young. Both of them had bad tempers and would often fight over chess, which worried their families. However, now that they are older, they have toned it down a lot.
Ji Wuhen glanced at Feng Hongye, "Hongye, your grandfather and I are discussing national affairs. Don't interrupt. The Lin family has committed treason and must be punished!"
Feng Hongye curled her lip, "Nonsense, when did the Lin family commit any rebellion? I've heard that these aristocratic families are abusing their power for personal gain and becoming increasingly outrageous! If it weren't for people like Lin Yu who stood up regardless of personal gain or loss to punish these rich and heartless bastards, I think the world would be even more chaotic!"
Ji Wuhen was slightly taken aback. "What do you mean? Do you know this brat from the Lin family?"
Feng Hongye looked displeased. "Don't keep calling him 'Lin family brat.' He's my fiancé, the man I, Feng Hongye, will marry in the future!"
"What??"
Everyone was stunned.
Feng Li finally came to his senses and said with a smile, "My goodness, the ideal husband you were talking about is this young man from the Lin family!"
Feng Hongye nodded, "Yes, Grandpa, you don't know, this Lin Yu is no ordinary person. Not only is his kung fu better than mine, but he is also very righteous and likes to fight for justice. Now, people call him a great hero!"
Ji Wuhen frowned and said, "Hongye, as a disciple of the Divine Bloodline, how can you fall for a mortal? Isn't this ridiculous?"
Feng Li shook his head. "Old Ji, this Xiao Lin is no ordinary person. What I was just about to tell you is that this young man has a great connection with our Divine Blood Clan!"
"A significant connection?" Ji Wuhen was even more confused. "What exactly do you mean? Among the divine bloodline, I know any outstanding juniors, but I've never heard of this Lin fellow before!"
“Of course you haven’t heard of it!” Feng Li shook his head and sighed, “After all, the Ao family incident happened almost thirty years ago!”
"What? The Ao family, you mean..." Ji Wuhen finally realized something.
Feng Li nodded and said, "That's right! This Xiao Lin is the child that Yun Lan had when she escaped beyond the Great Wall and had a relationship with someone! This child not only has the divine bloodline of the Ao family, but also the bloodline of the ancient martial arts Yun family. Do you think he would be an ordinary mortal?"
Ji Wuhen showed a look of sudden realization.
Then his expression became complicated.
"So, this young man is quite something!" Ji Wuhen glanced at Feng Li, a hint of jealousy in his expression. "Your Feng family has found a good son-in-law! Although Ao's grandson is also a collateral descendant of the divine bloodline, he still has half of the Ao family's blood, which is relatively pure. If this bloodline awakens, your Feng family will have hit the jackpot!"
Feng Li laughed and said, "That's hard to say! You know Hongye's talent, but that young man's cultivation is far superior to Hongye's. I think that within twenty years, he is very likely to awaken the Ao family's bloodline!"
"What?"
Ji Wuhen couldn't help but be moved.
Feng Hongye is already one of the top talents among the younger generation of the Divine Blood Sect.
This young man's cultivation level is actually higher than Feng Hongye's?
If this had happened inside the Divine Blood Sect, he could have accepted it. After all, the Divine Blood Sect had abundant cultivation resources and a superior environment.
But for a child who has been living away from home to have reached this point, how terrifying must his talent be!
Feng Li sighed, "Now that our Divine Bloodline is declining day by day, we must have a strong younger generation emerge to stabilize the situation. This Lin Yu is very likely to become the pillar of our Divine Bloodline in the future!"
Ji Wuhen took a deep breath and then gradually calmed down.
“This child is quite talented! But he is rather unruly and difficult to discipline! If we don’t curb him now, what will happen if problems arise in the future?” Ji Wuhen’s face was ashen.
Feng Hongye quickly shook her head, "No, Grandpa Ji, don't worry! He's my fiancé, I'll definitely keep him in check. Besides, he's a good person who cares about the people!"
Seeing her say that, Ji Wuhen nodded, "I hope so! Since you've given such a guarantee, I'll give the Feng family some face today!"
As he spoke, he turned to Chen Fusheng and said, "Fusheng, let's leave this matter here! Your clans should try not to make things difficult for the Lin family in the future. However, if this kid goes too far and becomes arrogant, then come and tell me again. I think Old Feng won't take his side! Right, Old Feng?"
Feng Li smiled and said, "Of course, we're all family, don't take it so seriously. Don't worry, my son-in-law knows what's good for him!"
