Chapter 236: Following Orders

"Stop!" Just as Feng Jingsu and Long Lin were about to attack, the sound of hurried horse hooves could be heard from a distance. Amidst a cloud of dust, a group of men and horses came galloping towards them. The leading man, dressed in a white brocade robe, dismounted swiftly and walked up to the two men with a determined look on his face.

"It turns out to be Prince Feng Jingxuan of Zhennan." Seeing this, Gu Yichen felt relieved, knowing that with him around, the situation might be turned around.

Feng Jingxuan's gaze was sharp as he scanned the scene before him, a look of deep thought on his face. Following him was Feng Jingyan, the second son of the Prince of Zhennan, dressed in a green brocade robe. A faint smile graced his face, clearly showing no concern for the impending conflict.

"What are you doing here?" Feng Jingxuan's tone was cold, yet it carried a hint of authority. His gaze darted back and forth between Feng Jingsu and Long Lin, vaguely taking in the hostility between them.

Long Lin's heart tightened upon seeing Feng Jingxuan appear, but he remained unwilling to show weakness. "Prince Zhennan, the matter between your third brother and I has nothing to do with you. I was simply following orders today and did not wish to conflict with you." His words were tinged with disdain, but his tone was more cautious.

"Following orders?" Feng Jingxuan smiled slightly, a hint of sarcasm flashing in his eyes. "If that's the case, then I'd like to know who is behind you, how dare you act so wildly on my Feng family's territory?"

Feng Jingyan stood aside, shrugged slightly, with a hint of ridicule in his eyes, "I'm curious, Commander Dragon Guard actually came here in person, it's really troublesome." He spoke in a relaxed tone, as if he had completely forgotten the danger in front of him.

"Hmph, I'm going to take Miss Lu away today, no matter what." Long Lin's voice was filled with a hint of stubbornness, clearly showing no intention of backing down. Although he was wary of the Feng family's power, the mission he carried out on this mission made it impossible for him to turn back.

"Want to take her away?" Feng Jingxuan frowned slightly, his expression becoming serious. "If you cause trouble here, it won't be so easy." His words were threatening, and he clearly had no intention of giving in.

"This is not up to you!" Long Lin showed no sign of weakness, and the atmosphere became tense again at this moment.

Feng Jingxuan saw the tense atmosphere and secretly pondered how to resolve the current deadlock. He turned his head and looked at Lu Linger and Gu Yichen, his eyes softening. "Are you all right?"

"We're fine." Gu Yichen responded quickly. Although he was still afraid of Long Lin, things might change with Feng Jingxuan around.

Feng Jingxuan nodded slightly, then turned his gaze and said coldly to Long Lin: "If you insist on taking Lu Linger away, then ask my Feng family whether we agree first." There was a strong sense of sovereignty in his voice, as if his words were enough to decide the outcome of this conflict.

"No matter what, I won't give up easily." Long Lin's eyes were firm. Although he was secretly alert in his heart, he was still unwilling to retreat.

The standoff between Feng Jingxuan and Long Lin filled the air, and everyone around them could feel the pressure. The tense atmosphere made everyone hold their breath, ready to respond to the impending conflict at any moment.

At this moment, Feng Xinying stood quietly by, feeling uneasy. She gently held the zither in her hand, silently praying that everything would calm down. However, the movement in the distance made her even more worried. It seemed that the outcome of the conflict was beyond her control.
