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

A smug glint flashed in Gu Wenlang's eyes; he was certain he would get what he wanted.

Feng Ning, I kindly proposed marriage to you, but you refuse. Then you are only fit to be a foot-washing maid!

He imagined it in his mind and felt an eagerness to return to the sect.

As long as she is rejected by the sect and has nowhere to go, then he will be her best destination. At that time, she will have no choice but to accept it.

Several days later, Feng Ning and the others returned to the Tianxuan Sect.

Nian Zhao was constantly worried, so he wandered around the sect gate every day, hoping to see his little disciple as soon as they returned.

After waiting for more than ten days, they finally saw a group of people flying towards them on swords.

He spotted Feng Ning in the crowd with his sharp eyes.

"apprentice!"

When Feng Ning returned this time, he was filled with emotion. Looking at Nian Zhao again, he felt that Nian Zhao had the feeling of an old father longing for his own child to return.

"Master!" This "Master" was called with genuine affection.

As soon as she got close, Nian Zhao grabbed her ear and said, "You brat! Have you forgotten what I taught you? You didn't know to call for help when you were in danger? You rushed in all by yourself, you're so brave."

The warm feeling in Feng Ning's heart was instantly dispelled.

Where did this kind old father come from? This is a terrible mess!

"Ouch, ouch, ouch! Master, please let go. Let's talk this out."

Nian Zhao was furious, but when he heard her cry out in pain, he softened and was about to let go when he felt a strong killing intent rushing towards him.

He was startled and immediately took two steps back, activating his defensive shield.

However, his defensive shield was as good as not being activated; it shattered the moment the spiritual energy struck.

Everyone was stunned by this scene, and the guards at the door rushed over, swords in hand, on high alert.

After looking for a long time, they still couldn't find out who had done it.

Others may not know, but Feng Ning and Nian Zhao know it all too well.

Nian Zhao looked at Ye Yuan warily, "Who are you?"

Feng Ning quickly stepped forward and grabbed Ye Yuan, "Boss, calm down, this is my master."

Ye Yuan's gaze was icy. "He just attacked you."

Feng Ning gripped his arms tightly with both hands, not daring to let go even for a moment. "That's because he loves me deeply and is very strict with me. He was afraid I would be in danger, that's why he was talking to me. He didn't mean to hurt me."

“He twisted your ear!” His gaze lingered on Feng Ning’s ear. “It’s red.”

Feng Ning touched her ear, and it instantly returned to normal. "See, it's fine now, isn't it? My skin is just delicate; it turns red as soon as I pinch it, really."

Ye Yuan glanced at Nian Zhao with a cold look in his eyes, "I'll spare you this time because you're his master, but this is the last time. If you dare to lay a hand on her again, I will definitely not let you off."

Nian Zhao was stunned. "What's going on? That's my apprentice!"

Why are you protecting him like that? What could I possibly do to my apprentice?

He looked at Feng Ning with a puzzled expression. Feng Ning smiled awkwardly and said, "Master, let's go back first. I'll explain it to you slowly when we get back."

Nian Zhao was somewhat unhappy and didn't want to bring this person in, but he held back for the sake of his apprentice.

The main reason is that this man is just too strong, and I don't think I'm a match for him.

So the group returned to the Fourth Elder's Xiaoyao Peak.

After returning, Feng Ning briefly reported to Nian Zhao what had happened during this period.

They were talking about how they received a mission at the mission hall and encountered Gu Wenlang who deliberately approached them.

They met again after completing their mission in Hengyang City.

Looking back now, Hengyang City and the place where Gu Wenlang and his group were at that time were not far apart, and everything can be traced back to that point.

Then there's the story of how they threatened Liu Yuanxiu's mother, forcing them to go to the Holy Feather Kingdom.

They forced each other to be paired up at the palace banquet.

There was also the shameless behavior of the Hai family, and the ancient emperor's high and mighty attitude, as if he were bestowing charity upon them.

They also mentioned that they were chased after leaving the palace, scattered and fled, and Liu Yuanxiu has not returned to this day.

She met Ye Yuan and was eventually saved.

Upon hearing this, Nian Zhao's anger intensified, and he no longer cared about asking about Ye Yuan's matter.

His mind was filled with those blind fools from the Holy Feather Kingdom who dared to let his disciple marry some worthless piece of trash!

Do these people have a death wish? How dare they mess with him?

"You wait, your master will avenge you. What kind of person dares to marry my disciple? Does he have a death wish?"

Feng Ning quickly pulled him back, "Calm down, Master, let's think this through. We can't just settle things with a beating."

"You're right, beating me up won't quell my anger."

A murderous glint appeared in Ye Yuan's eyes. "Just kill them all."

All four of them looked at him with disbelief.

Feng Ning shuddered at the thought of so many members of the Holy Feather Kingdom's royal family, and the sight of rivers of blood flowing down their faces. "That's not necessary."

“You don’t need to feel wronged.” Ye Yuan’s expression was very serious, and he didn’t seem to be joking at all.

It has to be said that Nian Zhao somewhat agreed.

"Since you were doing this for Feng Ning's sake, I won't hold your rudeness against me earlier against you. If you really want to fight, remember to call me."

Feng Ning sighed, "Master, why did you have to get involved and cause trouble too?"

Duan Menghua and Yao Feibai dared not interrupt. When these two big shots were speaking, how could they possibly have the right to speak?

They're always killing people. They're supposed to be a royal family. Is it really okay to wipe them all out so easily?

Ye Yuan didn't care about anything good or bad; he only cared about whether he was happy.

If someone is plotting against his subordinates, isn't that essentially plotting against him as well?

Can he bear this?

nonexistent!

Seeing how eager the two of them were, Feng Ning quickly pulled one of them down to sit.

"Don't rush. I have a feeling this matter isn't so simple. We should wait until Liu Yuanxiu brings his mother out first."

After speaking, he looked at Duan Menghua and Yao Feibai, "What about you? Do you need to tell your families? So that if they make a move against your families, you can take precautions in advance."

Yao Feibai shook his head. "The Holy Feather Kingdom is just a small country. Compared to the Changyang Kingdom, it's insignificant. They wouldn't dare to challenge it."

Duan Menghua sneered, "I'm actually looking forward to them going. I want to see how many lives they have, and whether they can come back alive."

Feng Ning raised an eyebrow. "That's fine then. We'll discuss it further when Liu Yuanxiu returns."

The two nodded in agreement with him.

Ye Yuan did not express his opinion, nor did he care about what others thought.

Nian Zhao felt somewhat aggrieved as she listened to what she said.

He was, after all, an elder of the Tianxuan Sect. He couldn't stand by and watch them bully his disciple.
