052 Small-minded Feng Ming
Chapter 52
Feng Ming had never asked who Bai Qiaomo's enemy was before, he only knew that it was closely related to Feng Linlang.
This person was Feng Linlang's admirer, and his identity was very special, so even Kunyuan Sect did not pursue him.
The Feng family did not make any big moves, but just dumped the engagement on him.
He did not ask before because he felt that it would not affect him, but it is different now.
If this person really followed Feng Linlang to Gaoyang County, he and Bai Qiaomo would face the other party's embarrassment together.
Maybe the other party is very happy to see that Bai Qiaomo not only became a useless person, but also gave him such a useless pair of children.
However, before Feng Ming asked, Bai Qiaomo told Feng Ming the whole story without hesitation after reading the letter sent by Gong Yuming.
Bai Qiaomo said: "The people who attacked me in the secret realm before were Wu Yingyan's people. Kunyuan Sect and my master were jealous of the power behind the Wu family, so they pretended to be deaf and dumb and pretended not to know."
"Wu Yingyan? Wu family? What's their origin?"
Bai Qiaomo explained, "Brother Ming, you don't know that the Wu family's foundation is not as solid as the four major families in Gaoyang County. It is a newly-established family. However, because one of the twins of the Wu family caught the eye of Emperor Dongmu and entered the palace to become the noble of Emperor Dongmu, the entire Wu family has risen since then. Later, after the twins of the Wu family gave birth to a prince
, the Wu family became even more powerful." As soon as this background came out, Feng Ming immediately understood that the Feng family and the Kunyuan Sect were jealous of each other. They were afraid of angering the Wu family and then offending the noble in the imperial city and the prince born by the noble.
I didn't expect that in a world of cultivation, there is still the imperial power and the strict hierarchy system.
Of course, from reading the book, Feng Ming also knew that the imperial power in this world is not simple. Not only does it hold the best inheritance and the best resources, but it also cultivates a powerful armed force.
Although the royal family and this armed force are also responsible for resisting the tide of wild beasts, it also ensures that the entire imperial power is high above.
The only place without imperial power, the situation is not necessarily much better. There, the status of Shengyuan Sect is like that of the dynasty, and it is also high above.
Although Feng Ming does not have much awe for imperial power, the imperial power in this world is different, and it is also linked to powerful military force.
"It turns out that the Wu family is a royal relative. No wonder so many people kept silent. What is the attitude of the Feng family? Will they marry Feng Linlang into the Wu family and form an alliance with the Wu family?"
Seeing that Feng Ming did not back down, Bai Qiaomo smiled. After living a new life and talking about these things again, Bai Qiaomo was not so resistant and resentful.
In his last life, he was able to get rid of Wu Yingyan and the Wu family behind him. If he did it again, could he do worse than before?
Bai Qiaomo shook his head and said, "No, no matter it is the Feng family or Feng Linlang, they don't think highly of Wu Yingyan. The Feng family just thinks there is no need to stand up for a loser like me, but it doesn't mean they really need to please the Wu family to maintain the Feng family's dignity and status."
"Feng Linlang is the pride of the Feng family and has excellent qualifications, but Wu Yingyan's strength is accumulated through resources. How can he be favored by Feng Linlang and the Feng family?"
Feng Ming understood again: "Oh, so it means that the four major families in Gaoyang County don't really value Wu Yingyan?"
"Yes, you can say that, but Wu Yingyan's attack on me should be very popular with many people."
Feng Ming was amused: "So you also know that you were so unpopular before."
Bai Qiaomo's hand itched and tapped Feng Ming's head. Not only was he not nervous at all, but he also laughed at him.
Feng Ming laughed and dodged. He gritted his teeth when he saw the letter, but he returned to normal after a while.
Although he knew that there would be unpleasant scenes when they met, who was he afraid of? Even the head of the Feng family was almost cuckolded by him.
Feng Ming raised his chin and said, "No matter how arrogant the Wu family is, they can't cover the sky with one hand. Didn't you see that he had to act in a secret realm to attack you? So even if he came to Gaoyang County, what could he do? Can he attack us in public?"
Bai Qiaomo nodded. It was just as Feng Ming thought. Even if Wu Yingyan wanted to attack him, he would still have some reservations, but:
"It might cause you to be humiliated by him along with me. He should be very happy to see me in such a miserable state now. The more unfortunate I am, the happier he will be."
Feng Ming snorted, "What a narrow-minded person. When we are stronger than him in the future, we will laugh at him again."
He was also vindictive. If someone with the surname Wu dared to laugh at him, he would definitely remember it.
No, he had already destroyed Bai Qiaomo's Dantian. Now his interests were the same as Bai Qiaomo's, which was equivalent to standing on the opposite side of the Wu family.
Whether this happened or not, he would settle the previous accounts with Bai Qiaomo in the future.
Even if it was just one more account, he would write down everything in a small notebook.
He was also very narrow-minded.
Bai Qiaomo's eyes showed warmth, and he said softly, "Okay."
Feng Ming showed the letter to his father. Feng Jinlin took a look and put it down, saying, "I knew what happened from City Lord Duan a long time ago. Later, I also checked Wu Yingyan and the Wu family. I also knew that the Wu family had a noble lord and a prince, but there was no need to be afraid of the Wu family because of this."
In the past, they could not touch the imperial power, so Feng Jinlin did not popularize these things to Feng Ming.
It's different now. Isn't it about to collide with the Wu family? Feng Jinlin continued to explain to Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo:
"Although the status of a prince is noble, sometimes it's not so noble, because the most abundant thing for the Emperor Dongmu is princes and princesses. I heard that not long ago, the Emperor Dongmu had another little prince. This is the 36th prince of the Emperor Dongmu. Together with the princesses, there are more than a hundred of them."
Feng Ming took a breath when he heard this. Bai Qiaomo smiled. Although he knew that the Emperor Dongmu had many descendants, he didn't know the exact number as much as Feng Jinlin.
But he didn't fear Wu Yingyan that much. It was precisely because of this that as long as the Wu family's backing was destroyed, the Wu family and Wu Yingyan would be like a toothless tiger, and anyone could pounce on them and take a bite.
He did exactly that in his previous life, so the Wu family suffered a crushing defeat.
Feng Ming said, "I'm afraid this emperor can't even remember what to call his own children."
Feng Jinlin affirmed, "Yes, among these princes and princesses, some are favored and some are not. Although the prince born to the noble master of the Wu family is one of the favored ones, the Wu family's arrogant behavior will only make that prince a thorn in the eyes of others. The status of the Wu family seems to be very high, but in fact the foundation is not stable and it is easy to collapse."
Bai Qiaomo admired his nominal father-in-law. It can be said that Feng Jinlin hit the nail on the head and pointed out the biggest weakness of the Wu family.
It was only after much searching that he finally found this plan to cut off the firewood from the bottom of the pot and defeat the Wu family in one fell swoop.
Feng Jinlin finally concluded: "So if you really run into that Wu Yingyan, Ming'er doesn't have to hold back and don't be too jealous of him."
He wants to give his child the best life, not to let him compromise with others.
Feng Jinlin, like all parents who spoil their children, can't stand other people's children being too outspoken, but hopes that his own children will be more outspoken so that they won't be wronged.
Feng Ming nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, Dad, I won't put myself in a difficult position. But Dad," Feng Ming was a little worried, "Will this Wu guy target us at the auction? We're afraid we can't beat him in terms of financial strength alone."
Feng Ming originally wanted to help Bai Qiaomo. Bai Qiaomo gave him the Yang Yuan Sutra. His father was able to successfully advance to the peak of the Yuanye Realm this time. It can't be said that the Yang Yuan Sutra didn't play a role at all.
Moreover, because of Bai Qiaomo, he was able to inherit the medicine refining of the Shengyuan Sect and get a lot of good things in that valley. This is a big favor.
So, no matter how big the risk is, he must do his best to fight for the Qingshuang Qiquan water that can help Bai Qiaomo repair his Dantian.
Bai Qiaomo was about to say something, but Feng Jinlin waved his hand and said, "Dad, I have thought about this, so I was going to discuss it with you. Dad, I plan to send a Tenglong Pill to the auction, and send it when the auction is about to start, so that we can raise some Yuanjing for us."
He explained, "I asked your aunt Yue to come back before, so that I could use some of her Yuanjing to prevent any accidents. Now that an accident has really happened, I have to make more preparations. Qiaomo, what do you think?"
Those pills were only available because of Bai Qiaomo, so Feng Jinlin would ask for his opinion.
There were three Tenglong Pills obtained from the Valley Alchemy Room. The best top-grade pill was in Feng Jinlin's hands, and he kept it for his use when he was preparing for the promotion. The other two were of medium quality, and Feng Jinlin did not touch them.
Bai Qiaomo was quite pleased with Feng Jinlin's attitude. He smiled and said, "Let your uncle decide on this matter. Qiaomo has no objection. It doesn't matter if both pills are sold. I think when I need it in the future, your brother Ming will be able to refine the best Tenglong Pill."
Feng Ming patted Bai Qiaomo's shoulder and said, "Of course, we are family, so of course we should use the best. It's just that dad didn't make it, so you can only use the top-grade Tenglong Pill first."
Feng Jinlin laughed. He was the first person to feel wronged to use the top-grade pill.
Bai Qiaomo also smiled and reminded Feng Jinlin: "Uncle, it's better not to show up yourself, and use an anonymous Yuanjing card."
Of course, he believed that Feng Jinlin also had this awareness. Sure enough, Feng Jinlin nodded and said, "I will. I won't let outsiders know that this Tenglong Pill came out of our hands."
***
Just one day before the auction, two very cool birds, red birds, appeared in Gaoyang County, pulling a luxurious carriage, attracting the attention of countless cultivators.
Soon, the news spread in the outer and inner cities of Gaoyang County that this was the carriage of Wu Yingyan, the little tyrant of the Wu family, and that they were accompanied by the Feng family's siblings, Feng Linlang and Feng Hongrui, as well as some other young talents.
The outer city, especially the inner city, exploded instantly. Everyone knew that Bai Qiaomo was in Gaoyang County at the moment.
The relationship between Bai Qiaomo, Feng Linlang and Wu Yingyan was unknown to ordinary cultivators, but how could the four major families in the inner city not know about it?
Gong Yuming even specially dragged Feng Jinghuai to watch Wu Yingyan's appearance, and drooled over the two red phoenixes.
It is said that the red phoenix has a trace of phoenix blood in its body, so it is not only extremely gorgeous in appearance, but also powerful. Among all flying means of transportation, it ranks at the forefront.
It's a pity that the red phoenix is very rare. Only the royal family raises red phoenixes. If you want to get the red phoenix cubs from the royal family and raise them from a young age, you also need a very solid relationship.
For example, Gong Yuming couldn't get a baby red bird, so he could only drool at the two adult red birds.
As for Wu Yingyan himself, Gong Yuming was very disdainful.
Because the owner of the two red birds was not Wu Yingyan himself, but the entire Wu family. They were begged by the nobleman who entered the palace of the Wu family to decorate the Wu family. There were
also other family members watching, pointing and talking about the two red birds outside and Wu Yingyan who sent the brother and sister of the Feng family back. Gong Yuming was very happy to hear it.
He touched his chin and said to Feng Jinghuai beside him: "Do you know why Wu Yingyan came here?"
Feng Jinghuai, who was forcibly dragged out, was not in a very good mood. In fact, he hated Wu Yingyan very much because he abandoned the genius Bai Qiaomo because of jealousy.
Did you really think that if Bai Qiaomo was not there, Sister Linlang would take a fancy to him, Wu Yingyan? Sister Linlang's vision is not that bad.
Others were not used to Bai Qiaomo stepping on the heads of their family members, but Feng Jinghuai didn't care so much, and even admired Bai Qiaomo.
Originally, he thought that the marriage between Feng Linlang and Bai Qiaomo was a great thing, and he agreed with both hands, but he didn't expect it to turn out like this.
He said unhappily, "Why do I care?"
Gong Yuming laughed and revealed to him, "In fact, someone in our county city sent a letter to Wu Yingyan, telling Wu Yingyan that Bai Qiaomo had come to Gaoyang County. That's why Wu Yingyan came here in such a high-profile manner, and even asked Feng Hongrui to instigate him to bring his sister back with him, just to show off to someone."
The person who sent the letter was not someone else, but Wan Bairong's guy, who lured Wu Yingyan here to deal with Bai Qiaomo and Feng Ming.
Feng Jinghuai frowned and asked, "Does cousin Feng Hongrui know?"
Gong Yuming sneered, "Do you think Feng Hongrui doesn't know? Don't think too highly of your cousin. You treat him as your cousin, but what does he treat you as? This guy is eager to pair his sister with Wu Yingyan."
Feng Jinghuai frowned, "Is he so short-sighted?"
Gong Yuming was amused, "When did Feng Hongrui become a far-sighted person? How come I don't know... "
Feng Jinghuai was even more unhappy, and stood up to leave, but after thinking for a while, he said: "I'll have someone send a letter to my cousin Feng Ming, reminding him to stay away from Bai Shao."
Gong Yuming patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I sent the letter yesterday."
Feng Jinghuai doubted: "Are you so kind? What do you want to do?"
Gong Yuming pretended to be angry: "Why can't I be kind?"
Feng Jinghuai snorted lightly, and turned away.
There was no need to send the letter, but he had to tell his grandfather when he went back.
No matter what, Feng Ming was a member of the Feng family, how could he be bullied by outsiders.
The other children of the aristocratic families had similar thoughts to Gong Yuming. Wu Yingyan came, and Bai Qiaomo had not left yet. They were eager to watch the scene when the two met.
Therefore, without Wu Yingyan checking it himself, he got a piece of news that Jinyuantang will hold an auction tomorrow, and Bai Qiaomo and his two children will attend.
Wu Yingyan waved his hand and asked his men to apply for a supreme VIP card of Jinyuantang. Only the supreme VIP card was suitable for his status.
At the same time, he urged Feng Hongrui to bring his sister to the auction venue tomorrow. He wanted Feng Linlang to see with her own eyes how miserable the man she liked before was now, and had to rely on a pair of children to survive.
