All beasts submit, and the peerless imperial princess is about to defy the heavens!

A woman entered, her eyes filled with rage as she looked at her. "You're the bastard my grandfather brought back?"

Feng Ning's eyes were icy cold.

The woman felt her cold gaze and suddenly shivered.

Just as the woman was getting increasingly uneasy under his gaze, she slowly uttered a single word, "Get lost!"

But this sentence seemed to break the previous coldness.

The woman instantly flew into a rage. "You little bastard! What did you say? You dare tell me to get out? Do you believe I'll have my father kick you out?"

Feng Ning continued eating her meal without paying any more attention to her.

But the anger in his heart was something he couldn't suppress.

But when the woman saw her indifferent attitude, her anger flared up.

"You little bastard! I'm going to beat you to death today! Let's see if you dare to talk nonsense in front of your grandfather again!"

She was about to rush over when she didn't expect that Feng Ning was even faster than her.

Feng Ning kicked her the moment she finished speaking.

Before the woman could react, she had already been kicked out of the door.

“I don’t tolerate repeated offenses here. I tolerated you once because Grandpa Hai saved me, and I tolerated you a second time because this young girl cooked for me. Do you really think I have a good temper?”

The woman was kicked to the ground, her brows furrowed in pain, and tears streamed down her face.

"You little bastard! I..."

Without saying a word, Feng Ning went up and slapped him twice more across the face. "You dare to curse me again! Believe me or not, next time, I'll sew your damn mouth shut!"

The woman's eyes widened in terror. "You! You can't do this to me! I'm the eldest daughter of the Hai family!"

Feng Ning sneered, "So what? I have no ties. What harm is there in killing you? You, the eldest daughter of the Hai family, are not afraid of death, so why should I be afraid?"

At this point, the woman finally panicked, stumbled to her feet, and ran away.

"Just wait for me, I won't let you go!"

Feng Ning sneered and ignored her.

She's just a spoiled brat who doesn't know her place. There's no need to kill her; a little lesson is enough.

She'll let her go this time, but if she dares to cross her again, no matter how much Old Master Hai saved her life, she'll have to take her life.

No one can jump around in her minefield.

She had neither parents in her past or present life.

While the fact that he was a bastard was true, it was still a sensitive topic for her.

The maid was so frightened that her face turned deathly pale.

Feng Ning glanced at her and said, "What are you afraid of? You didn't hit him."

The maid looked at her tremblingly, "Miss Feng, you've caused trouble. You don't know how terrifying the eldest young lady is. She's the one you absolutely mustn't mess with in this family. If she says she won't let you off the hook, she'll definitely take revenge."

Feng Ning became interested. "I didn't realize you knew so much. Tell me about it. I'd also like to know about this place. What kind of place is this?"

The young maidservant, hearing her nonchalant words, felt as if she were courting death.

But then he felt it was none of his business, so he calmed himself down and replied, "This is Hunyuan City, one of the five major cities of the Holy Feather Kingdom, and also the most prosperous city in the Holy Feather Kingdom."

Feng Ning nodded. "This is the Hai family. Judging from this, the Hai family is a large family. What is the Hai family's status in Hunyuan City?"

A smile finally appeared on the maid's face. "There is a royal family and three major families in Hunyuan City, and the Hai family is one of the three major families."

"That's still pretty impressive."

The young maid nodded vigorously, "Of course! With the head of the family here, our Hai family will never fall!"

Feng Ning's mind flashed back to Old Master Hai's face.

Suddenly I feel that there's some exaggeration in these words. Is this expert not aloof enough?

She quickly changed the subject, "So, what kind of people are in the Hai family?"

This is purely gossip.

The maid replied, "Besides the head of the family, he also has two sons and a daughter, all of whom are very powerful cultivators. The eldest master has a son and a daughter. His son is studying away from home, and his daughter is the young lady you just saw. The second master hasn't been home for many years. There is also a aunt who married the emperor and is now a member of the royal family. She has a young prince."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at her.

Feng Ning asked in confusion, "If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you looking at me?"

She then said, "The head of the family brought you back because he recognized you as the second master's child."

Feng Ning asked helplessly, "Didn't you just say that the Second Master hasn't returned for many years? Where did this child come from?"

She was a little embarrassed. "Perhaps the second master has married and had children outside. Who knows?"

Anyway, she felt that the head of the family must be thinking that way.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have brought this girl back.

She had never met the second master, and heard that he had disappeared more than ten years ago. She didn't know whether he was dead or alive.

I wonder if this Miss Feng actually looks like the Second Master.

Since the head of the family said they look alike, they must look somewhat alike.

How could a father not recognize his own son?

Even after being missing for so many years, he still had some doubts about the existence of a child who looked like his son.

My son is gone forever, so having my granddaughter by my side is some comfort.

At least it can be said that the second wife has a successor.

Feng Ning had a general understanding of the situation.

Anyway, she didn't think she had anything to do with the Hai family.

This is too ridiculous.

She only thought to herself that since they hadn't officially recognized each other yet, she would just run away tonight.

As for tomorrow... the sky is high and the sea is wide, where can they find it?

She had a good plan in mind, but she didn't expect that Grandpa Hai would not play by the rules.

That very evening, everyone was gathered together, and she was brought to the main hall as well.

She looked at Old Master Hai, who was sitting at the head of the table, with utter disdain.

That old man is quite a big man, yet he doesn't keep his word. He's really shameless.

Grandpa Hai seemed completely oblivious to the resentment in her eyes, and continued to cheerfully wait for everyone to arrive.

After everyone had arrived, Grandpa Hai smiled and looked at the people sitting in the lower seats.

The eldest patriarch of the Hai family seemed to already know what his father was about to do, and a deep sense of unease welled up in his heart.

Her eyes couldn't help but keep looking at Feng Ning.

But he didn't want to ask, and he wondered how he should object if his father really wanted to do that.

Just as everyone was filled with curiosity, someone stepped forward first.

They asked respectfully, "Master, did you summon us here today because you have something important to discuss?"

Master Hai cursed inwardly, wondering how this man could not see clearly what was going on in his eyes.
