This was the first time she had contacted him. Remembering her tone just now, he knew she must have encountered some trouble. But when he saw the communication stone at the Feng family's residence, he was puzzled.
Based on his understanding of Feng Qingxue, she couldn't possibly be the kind of person who would risk her life for a prank.
Thinking of this, a worry that even he had never noticed arose in Feng Che's heart.
A quarter of an hour passed.
Feng Che appeared at the entrance of the Feng family's residence, amidst a commotion ahead.
At this moment, the Feng family's gate was wide open, and the Feng family's steward was greeting the visitors outside. Feng Che was puzzled. What was going on?
"I heard that after Feng Qingxue takes over as the head of the family, she will be choosing a husband. I wonder which young man will be so lucky."
"That's right. But I don't know if it's good or bad that Feng Qingxue thinks so highly of the family head at such a young age. I've heard that ever since the Feng family head had his accident three years ago, the second branch of the Feng family has been making quite a fuss."
"Since ancient times, there have been many wealthy families who fought to the death for their inheritance. If it weren't for the old patriarch, Feng Qingxue and her mother would never have been able to compete with the second branch of the family."
"·····"
The onlookers around were buzzing with discussion, and Feng Che finally understood why the Feng family had gone to such lengths. Today was the day Feng Qingxue was to inherit the position of family head, so why had she asked him for help earlier? Just as he was pondering this, a voice interrupted his thoughts.
"Oh—a rare guest!"
"Welcome, Second Master Feng! It's an honor to have you here!"
At this moment, the Feng family's steward noticed Feng Che standing not far away and hurriedly came to greet him.
Since the patriarch's accident, he has rarely seen Feng Che come to the Feng family. The last time he saw him was three years ago on the day the patriarch's accident happened.
"Steward Zhao!" Feng Che said, clasping his hands in a fist salute.
"Second Master, please come in. The old patriarch is in the front hall."
Feng Che went inside, but instead of going directly to the front hall, he used an invisibility talisman and followed the direction of the sound transmission stone to the backyard.
He had reached the level of a God-Emperor and used an invisibility talisman, so even if he walked past these people, they wouldn't notice anything.
Feng Che's steps soon came to a stop in a small courtyard.
"Qi Feng, what exactly is that thing? I didn't expect my sister to become so obedient now?" Feng Ling'er's joyful voice came from inside.
Qi Feng sneered, "Don't worry about that. I'll make her give up the position of family head to you later. After you inherit the position, I want three spiritual vein mines and one-third of the Feng family's assets as Feng Qingxue's dowry."
Three spiritual veins and a third of the family fortune? Feng Ling'er hesitated. As far as she knew, the Feng family only had five spiritual vein mines in total.
"Qi Feng, aren't three a bit too many? Besides, my grandfather manages those spirit vein mines..."
"That's easy. Didn't you two families long ago wish that old man would die soon? I can help you..." Qi Feng made a cut across her neck, and Feng Ling'er was shocked. But thinking about how that old man had casually arranged a marriage for her, she felt angry and gritted her teeth: "Okay, I... I agree."
"Alright, it's getting late. The banquet will start soon. You go to the main hall first. I'll use the flute to control her later."
Feng Ling'er frowned, glanced at Feng Qingxue who looked like a wooden statue, and then at Qi Feng. Did he want her to stay here?
Noticing Feng Ling'er's worry, Qi Feng smiled and said, "Don't worry, things are settled now, and I, Qi Feng, won't rush things."
After hearing this, Feng Ling'er thought for a moment, then turned and left.
Feng Che's eyes darkened in the shadows. Feng Qingxue's current appearance was exactly the same as when Jiu'er was hit by the Soul-Locking Needle. It seemed that Qi Feng had used the Soul-Locking Needle from the Gate of Hell on Feng Qingxue.
Feng Che looked through the crack in the window and could see Feng Qingxue and Qi Feng.
Feng Qingxue stared blankly ahead, her face expressionless. Qi Feng gently stroked Feng Qingxue's face, and a strange anger welled up in Feng Che's heart.
"Qingxue, you will soon be mine."
"You're usually so aloof and indifferent to me. Come to think of it, this is the first time I've ever been this close to you."
"Qingxue, will you blame me for doing this?"
"I really can't stand you marrying someone else... especially someone I hate."
"So what if you like Feng Yu? He's the future head of the Feng family, and the Feng family will never allow him to marry you..."
Feng Che was stunned when he heard Qi Feng's words. How could he not know that Feng Qingxue liked Yu'er? It wasn't until he saw the fan in Qi Feng's hand that he realized this.
That's not it! Wasn't that the fan he gave to Feng Ningchuan? How did it end up in Feng Qingxue's hands?
Suddenly, Feng Che was dumbfounded. Feng Qingxue... liked him? Feng Che shook his head instantly. That was impossible. He and her father were close friends. But how to explain that fan? Qi Feng clearly mistook the fan for Yu'er's.
"Qingxue, are you thirsty? Here, have some tea."
Qi Feng fed the tea to Feng Qingxue, and just then, the voices of two maids came from outside the door.
"Young Miss, the old patriarch requests your presence in the front hall."
"good······"
Under Qi Feng's command, Feng Qingxue responded and got up to walk out the door. Qi Feng also flew out of the window to the front hall, completely unaware that someone was standing by the window.
Feng Che glanced at Feng Qingxue not far away, raised his hand and waved, and the two maids instantly fell to the ground. Feng Qingxue, however, remained expressionless and continued walking forward because she was controlled by the Soul-Locking Needle.
In a flash.
Feng Qingxue's figure disappeared from the spot.
The Feng family was located in Yaochi, so it didn't take long for Feng Che to carry Feng Qingxue to the Yaochi Palace.
Bai Ling frowned as she listened to the report from her disciple. The battle between Ji Jiuying and the Feng family had already spread throughout the Heavenly Domain. Shouldn't Feng Che be at the Feng family right now? Why is he here?
Feng Qingxue had already fainted, but her face and body began to burn. Feng Che frowned.
"Second Master Feng?"
Bai Ling's voice came, and Feng Che quickly went forward to greet her.
"Lord Bai Ling, I'm truly sorry to bother you."
"Does Master Feng have something urgent to discuss?"
"Bai Ling, it is like this. My friend's beloved daughter has been framed by the people of the Gate of Hell and has now been implanted with a Soul-Locking Needle. I would like to trouble you, my God, to help me draw out the Soul-Locking Needle. If Yaochi ever asks Feng Che for anything in the future, Feng Che will do his best and will never refuse."
Feng Che's eyes revealed a hint of urgency. If Qi Feng discovered that Feng Qingxue was missing, he would definitely use the sound of his flute to lull Feng Qingxue back to the Feng family.
"Is the Chisi Line still there?"
Bai Ling sat down.
"exist."
Feng Che took out the Thousand Thoughts Thread from his spatial storage. He had exchanged a divine artifact for this Thousand Thoughts Thread last time, and he never expected to be able to use it again. Feng Che couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Bai Ling reached out to Feng Qingxue, and after a long while...
"The Soul-Locking Needle was just placed recently. Fortunately, it didn't damage her soul, otherwise it would have been troublesome."
