The Way of The Dao

Feng Junze was stupefied, his cultivation essence stopping as a coercion locked him in.

"Father!"

Feng Junze blinked in surprise and turned to look at Feng Ye who had suddenly appeared and had used the cultivation essence giant hand to trap and detain him.

The guards stopped at the sight of Feng Ye, waiting for what he was going to say.

"Grandfather!"

Feng Zhiyun was surprised to see her grandfather appear and felt the security increasing more and more.

"Father-in-law!"

"Father! You!"

Feng Qiangxun looked at Feng Ye and Feng Junze asked with some stupefaction as he saw his father stop him.

"What do you think you're doing to my guest of highest honor, Junze?"

Feng Ye quickly came and glared fiercely at Feng Junze, scolding him no matter where they were. But inside he was deeply terrified at the thought of whether Ling Tian would be angry. After all, Feng Ye knew about Ling Tian's origin and mysterious power.

"Highest honored guest?"

Feng Junze muttered in astonishment and Feng Qiangxun and Feng Zhiyun looked dumbfounded at Feng Ye before shifting their gazes to Ling Tian.

Feng Ye ignored the shock in Feng Junze and approached Ling Tian showing off a somewhat awkward smile.

"Young Master Ling, excuse me for not coming to see you right away, I was busy with the matter of the pill." Feng Ye did not lie and told Ling Tian the whole truth.

But this surprised everyone in the place!

Ling Tian's indifferent gaze scared Feng Ye a little more when he didn't see him answer right away, feeling a sea of nerves inside. His back was filled with cold sweat.

"It's alright, old Ye. It's not long since we arrived... besides, it's my fault what happened here..." Ling Tian casually replied before turning to look at Feng Zhiyun and Feng Qiangxun, adding, "I have no intention of harming you, let alone spying, it's just that there's something about you that caught my attention and I was curious. Just that." His gaze focused on Feng Zhiyun.

Old Ye?

Everyone in the place became even more shocked to see this young man call Feng Ye, the ancestor of the Feng family, in such a manner!

However, Feng Ye himself let out a relief inside and smiled happily. Ling Tian was not angry and was still treating him as before!

But this was not the same for Feng Junze!

When Feng Junze heard Ling Tian's words, his expression turned dark as he thought about Ling Tian falling in love with Feng Zhiyun and why he had sneaked into this place. He didn't know why his father respected this young man so much, but he wasn't going to give up when it came to his daughter!

Feng Qiangxun didn't hesitate and approached her daughter, slowly helping her up.

"What happened? Patriarch Feng! Fellow Zhiyun!"

A young voice again rang out as a figure followed by others entered the personal courtyard.

Yuan Ming quickly entered with several of his bodyguards, his gaze quickly found Feng Junze and then Feng Zhiyun, quickly hiding the small feeling in them. Although Feng Zhiyun was now no different from someone convalescing, with a faded and clearly withered beauty, he had seen her before and she was perfect! Yuan Ming was sure that once Feng Zhiyun recovered, she would become even more beautiful!

But when his gaze met Ling Tian's figure who was watching Feng Zhiyun, a fury and murderous intent covered his inner self!

Ling Tian was more handsome than him and looked much better than him! Infuriating him and making him feel inferior instantly!

However, the next moment, Yuan Ming relaxed and obvious mockery was in his eyes as he realized that Ling Tian was crippled. He could easily kill him by snapping his fingers.

Feng Zhiyun frowned at the sight of Yuan Ming and ignored him. She looked at Ling Tian again, taking a bit of interest in him as she saw that her grandfather Feng Ye respected him so much and even seemed to see that there was fear in his eyes.

'Grandpa Ye is an expert at the top of the world, there is no one who could do something to him or make him so afraid...' Feng Zhiyun thought inwardly.

"Old Ye, I don't think that pill will work on your granddaughter... in fact, no other pill..."

Before Feng Ye said anything, Ling Tian suddenly said after observing Feng Zhiyun for several seconds. After seeing Feng Ye's interaction with everyone, it was easy for him to decipher that this young woman who seemed to die at any moment was Feng Ye's granddaughter.

"Father, who is this young man? I don't remember him being from the grand families..." Feng Junze narrowed his eyes at Ling Tian as he asked Feng Ye, "He dares to curse Yun'er's fate!"

Feng Zhiyun was surprised by Ling Tian's words but she immediately turned to look at her grandfather, realizing something. Feng Qiangxun also seemed to understand something and his complexion brightened.

"Junior, who are you! You don't belong to any of our grand families and you dare to curse fellow Zhiyun!"

Hearing what Ling Tian had said, Yuan Ming took advantage and laughed evilly inwardly as he appeared superior to Ling Tian. He hoped that Ling Tian would be kicked out of the place.

"Junior! Be quiet! Don't you know it's impolite to interrupt adults!" Feng Ye coldly glared at Yuan Ming, making him shut up and remain silent as he felt the pressure on him. A strange sense of questioning and humiliation filled his being.

"Brother Ling, I don't know why you brought this up?" Feng Ye asked carefully, becoming more friendly with Ling Tian, as if he had a brotherhood with him.

Brother Ling?

No one could say anything seeing that Feng Ye seemed to treat Ling Tian as his equal or even with more respect seeing his expressions!

What had happened to the ancestor of the Feng family?

"... Your granddaughter is not sick... nor is it a deviation of malpractice in her cultivation..."

Ling Tian said after a few seconds, with his arms folded across his chest and one hand on his chin, thinking deeply. A frown on his face was enough to let everyone know that he was in deep thought at the moment.

He still wasn't sure what was wrong with Feng Zhiyun, but he was absolutely certain that it wasn't an illness or an aftermath of malpractice in her cultivation. Therefore Ling Tian asked her to circulate her cultivation essence once more so that he could observe her and verify his assumptions.

"If my daughter wasn't sick, then why is her vitality being lost and why can't she continue to cultivate?" Feng Junze furrowed his eyebrows and disrespectfully asked Ling Tian, as if he was getting tired of listening to him. Even he and the others didn't know what was happening to Feng Zhiyun, all they knew was that she was dying!

"Junze!" Feng Ye glared angrily at Feng Junze, but Feng Junze did not back down. His daughter's matter was the most important thing to him and he would not step back.

"Yun'er, your grandfather Ye finally found the special plant that was needed to cure you!" Feng Junze looked lovingly and gently at Feng Zhiyun.

Finally, Feng Zhiyun's eyes seemed to regain some color and brightness upon hearing this. Looking at Feng Ye, she couldn't help but be grateful, "Thank you, grandfather!" She understood that it should not be easy at all to get the special spiritual herbs. She also understood the purpose of Feng Ye and Feng Xiao's journey.

"Yun'er, you are my beloved granddaughter and grandpa would do anything for you. You and Xiao'er are my pride!" Feng Ye looked lovingly at Feng Zhiyun.

"You really found the True Essence Flower of the Sun and Moon?" Feng Qiangxun asked Feng Ye dumbfoundedly.

"Yes! In fact, Brother Ling was the one who discovered it! If it wasn't for his intuition, insight and skill, we couldn't have found the flower!" Feng Ye happily nodded to his daughter-in-law.

Everyone turned to look at Ling Tian again.

So, wouldn't that make him a great benefactor to the Feng family?

But Ling Tian still remained indifferent, not even flinching at the looks he received nor showing any pride or arrogance, as if he was not the center of attention.

This caused many to have a different perspective...

"Yun'er, are you ready to give it a try?" Feng Junze asked Feng Zhiyun.

"Yes!" Feng Zhiyun nodded earnestly. Looking at the hope and expectation in everyone, she didn't want to disappoint them. A little spark of hope also arose in her heart, wanting to feel free and fulfilled again.

However, Feng Ye still looked at Ling Tian, wanting confirmation. The pill they had made was in his hands.

Ling Tian looked at him and nodded casually, shrugging his shoulders. If they didn't easily believe him, then let them actually witness it.

Feng Ye's action raised much more questions in Feng Junze, Feng Qiangxun and Feng Zhiyun, wondering who Ling Tian really was.
