Fei Zhiyou looked at everyone and slowly opened his mouth. He hadn't spoken for many days, and his voice was a little hoarse, which made people even more frightened.

"You call yourselves the Fei family, using the guise of doing what's best for me to deceive and swindle people everywhere, but in reality, you secretly wish for my death so you can seize everything from the Fei family. But I, Fei Zhiyou, am not one of you."

An elderly, kind-looking member of the Fei family stepped forward and said, "Nephew, the Fei family isn't just one family; we're all relatives. We uncles and aunts are only concerned about you, and that's why we sometimes get flustered."

Fei Zhiyou was furious when he heard this. He used to turn a blind eye to their timid behavior.

Jin Wuchen once said that these were bedbugs and he needed to deal with them as soon as possible, but he didn't take it seriously. Now he's really disgusted by them.

"Concern leads to confusion? How can you say such a thing? You're utterly shameless. Do you think I'm young and unaware of the filthy things you did back then?"

Outsiders unaware of the Fei family's feud exchanged bewildered glances, wondering why Fei Zhiyou was so angry, and whether he had truly been used as a pawn.

"Young Master Fei, is there something you're hiding? Let's speak frankly and openly, so that everyone can know the truth if there's any injustice involved."

In Dazheng, people value propriety, righteousness, integrity, and a sense of shame, and they also emphasize filial piety and kinship. They rarely leave their own families and are easily looked down upon by others.

Even though Fei Zhiyou already had considerable fame, publicly scolding the family elders and betraying the entire family would still cause people to have different opinions.

Fei Zhiyou knew that hesitation would only lead to trouble. He hadn't taken these people seriously before, but now that they were getting in his way, he had no choice but to speak up.

"We need to explain this properly."

“When my grandfather fell on hard times, the Fei clan bullied them, a widow and her children, seized their land, and divided up their family fortune. Not only that, no one in the large family helped them out, and everyone kicked them while they were down.”

Later, in order to occupy the ancestral home, you so-called relatives and ancestors removed my grandfather's name from the clan genealogy, wrote a letter of severance, beat them half to death, and expelled them from the Fei family.

Wherever the Fei family lived, Grandpa and his mother were not allowed to linger.

My grandfather had no choice but to leave his hometown. After years of hard work, he finally achieved success with the help of my father and uncles.

It is also because Heaven has eyes that they have built up a foundation many times larger than before. Compared with my Fei family, your original Fei clan is not even a tiny ant.

Then you migrated your entire clan to Jiangzhou to continue sucking the blood of the Fei family.

The reason we didn't retaliate was because my grandfather disdained it, and my father and uncles felt that bullying the weak was pointless, so they stopped pursuing the matter.

When my grandfather was seriously ill, you wanted him to be reinstated in the family genealogy so you could get a share of the benefits. But as the saying goes, "a fallen leaf returns to its roots," and my grandfather also wanted to go back.

But you made a huge mistake by repeatedly pushing your luck and making demands. In the end, you became so greedy that you actually wanted the Fei family business to become the property of the Fei clan.

As a result, my grandfather was never able to be reinstated into the family genealogy before his death, which of course thwarted your plans.

Later, you used the ancestral graves as leverage to start a medicinal herb business. My father and uncles turned a blind eye and gave you a way to survive.

"So, you think I've completely forgotten about it, and you're resorting to your old tricks to seize family property that has absolutely nothing to do with you?"

After Fei Zhiyou finished speaking, everyone sighed in surprise, realizing that the Fei family had such a past.

One of the officials said, "So, the Fei family isn't even on the Fei clan's genealogy, and therefore isn't considered part of the Fei clan."

Seeing that everyone believed Fei Zhiyou's words, the Fei clan members also became somewhat flustered.

An older, respected figure spoke up, "Zhiyou, what are you saying? Who would abandon their ancestors and clansmen? You're turning black into white! The Fei family is a testament to the efforts of our clan; how can it be destroyed by a few words?"

The older person was a kind-looking old man, and his words were always easy to believe.

"You've gotten old, not reincarnated. Now you're putting on this rational act, have you forgotten the bad things you did back then, cheating and swindling? The authorities have the records."

Fei Zhiyou's mouth seemed to be poisoned.

“Fei Zhiyou, you’re talking nonsense. This business belongs to us, and you can’t renege on your promise,” someone from the Fei family said again.

"Oh, on what grounds? You're resorting to robbery just because you can't win an argument?"

Fei Zhiyou asked these shameless people sarcastically, "Do you really think he's as good-natured and easy to talk to as his father's generation?"

"Just because your surname is Fei, and it's on the family genealogy..."

"Bring us the family tree. With so many people here who are both literate and skilled in martial arts, they should be able to read it," Fei Zhiyou said.

"Who here will bring the family tree? Let's talk about it another day," the head of the Fei family said.

"It's alright, I've already sent someone to fetch it. Those adults standing outside, since you're already here, why don't you come in and be witnesses?"

Fei Zhiyou invited them in, and they naturally valued Fei Zhiyou more than the Fei clan, so they would never refuse his invitation.

"Could you please take a look and see if my grandfather, father, uncles, or Fei Zhiyou's names are on this?"

Fei Zhiyou sat and waited for them to look through it, but after they looked and looked, they still couldn't find it.

The Fei clan members were so focused on fighting and being instigated by others that they rushed to the front lines without ever considering the trivial matter of the family genealogy.

"We've been focused on your condition and haven't had time to add more yet."

Some people gave a shameless reply.

Fei Zhiyou continued, "It's really strange. If you want someone's property, you just add their name to your name and claim a share. I'm afraid none of you here can escape this."

Everyone present was not stupid; upon hearing this, they naturally understood that the Fei family was acting like scoundrels.

The official reviewing the family genealogy said, "You beg and rob with such righteous indignation; perhaps you'll have to come with me to the government office."

“Even if they move out of the family genealogy, their ancestral graves are still within the territory of our Fei clan. From the perspective of respecting our ancestors, we help you take care of your ancestral graves, so you should support us in return.”

Then someone else chimed in.

"You keep talking about ancestors, but I think you're the most ungrateful of your ancestors. My father, uncles, and aunts moved the graves of my grandfather's closest relatives a long time ago. Even if you went to pay respects at the graves during Qingming Festival, you should know that this has been going on for a long time."

They hadn't even visited their own ancestral graves, so how would they know about the Fei You family's ancestral graves?

But he still struggled, saying, "Fei Zhiyou, your father treated us with great respect when he was in charge of the family, but you treat us like this. How can you face your father and uncles?"

"The previous generation's soft-heartedness led to this disaster. I am not like them. Rest assured, you will soon see what I can do."

"Fei Zhiyou, you..."

Fei Zhiyou sat down and coldly said, "Either you leave, or I'll have you beaten to death and thrown out. The royal family has issued an order that anyone who trespasses on my Fei residence will be treated as a thief and killed without exception."

"Take this family genealogy with you. The Fei family has already established a new genealogy and has no further connection with you."

Fei Zhiyou waved his hand, and Qingniao tossed the Fei family genealogy to him.

Seeing that things had gotten as bad as they could possibly get, they simply started cursing, "Fei Zhiyou, we curse your Fei family to be wiped out!"

The words "Get out" touched Fei Zhiyou's sore spot. Knowing that he should not resort to violence at this moment, he slapped the speaker away.

Despite being in a cold sweat, he was still forcing himself to stay awake.

"If you say another word, you will not only leave the Fei family, but you will also be expelled from Dazheng without ever having any descendants."
