Chapter 112: The Fight For Power, The Chance Of Entering The Yuelan Sect

‘How lavish…’

Xu Ning felt that this spacious courtyard covered an area equivalent to that of a wealthy man’s house in a county town.

In addition to the flowers and plants in the courtyard, there were also a few villas. It was hard to imagine that this was just a courtyard in the mansion.

There were several maids in the yard. They were either sweeping the floor, watering the flowers, cleaning the weeds, or trimming the branches. They were all busy working.

After seeing Xu Ning come in, everyone looked at him curiously.

Men rarely entered Miss San’s courtyard, especially younger men.

“Where is Miss San?”

Xiao Die walked to the main villa in the courtyard.

“Miss Sister went outside.”

An old man with a white beard and white hair came out of the main villa.

He was skinny and had a face full of wrinkles. As he walked, he even slightly trembled.

Just looking at his eyes alone, Xu Ning concluded that this trembling old man was a master.

“Uncle Song?”

Xiao Die quickly saluted the old man.

‘So this is Uncle Song.’

When Xu Ning saw this, he also nodded. “I’m Xu Ning, nice to meet you Uncle Song.”

“So you are Xu Ning.”

Uncle Song happily walked over.

He walked next to Xu Ning and stood still. He looked at Xu Ning’s face. “How old are you?”

“20.”

Xu Ning added one extra year.

“20…”

Uncle Song smiled and said, “A twenty-year-old intention realm warrior, quite strong.”

“Miss Sister was called away by Father Master just now. It will take roughly half an hour before she will come back.”

Uncle Song said.

“Just now we ran into Fourth Young Master. He seemed to be walking towards Father Master’s study. Was he called away together with Miss Sister?”

Xiao Die said.

“Perhaps…”

Uncle Song stroked his gray beard. “At this point in time, the patriarch is gradually focusing on his martial arts practice, hoping to become a void realm martial artist, to escape from Feng family’s control.”

“The day when he steps down as the head of the household and hands over the power to either Fourth Young Master or Miss Sister is getting closer.”

Although Uncle Song was answering Xiao Die, he kept looking at Xu Ning.

“Xu Ning, I heard that you are a very capable young man. Would you like to spar with this old man?”

Uncle Song took the initiative to ask.

Xu Ning naturally understood what Uncle Song meant by his words.

It was normal for a newcomer to be tested by the elderly.

“Uncle Song, please go easy on me.”

Xu Ning cupped his fists.

Xiao Die also knew of Song Uncle’s intentions, so she took the initiative to distance herself from them.

There was a lot of space in the yard, so when the two fought against each other, they could move around freely.

The working maids also went to the corner and put down their brooms. They had curious looks on their faces.

On weekdays, they couldn’t enter or leave the Feng mansion at will, so life was very boring.

“I heard Miss Sister said that you have practiced a void realm secret technique?”

Uncle Song stood still and asked softly.

“Yes.”

Xu Ning answered truthfully.

“Then start with your void realm secret technique.”

Uncle Song said.

Xu Ning looked at Uncle Song.

Uncle Song was very strong.

Xu Ning was certain that he was in the mortal realm ninth stage.

“Thank you, Uncle Song.”

Xu Ning knew that if he exerted his full strength, Uncle Song would definitely not be worthy as his opponent.

But on the surface, he was just an intention realm artist who had just practiced a void realm secret technique.

Xu Ning took the initiative to attack. He simply used a Tidal Fist Punch One, hitting Uncle Song’s chest.

When Uncle Song saw Xu Ning’s punch, his eyes showed a hint of satisfaction.

Facing Xu Ning’s violent blow, Uncle Song didn’t panic at all. He just reached out a finger and tapped Xu Ning’s fist.

Xu Ning suddenly felt a violent force in his bones.

Immediately after, his forearm bounced away.

‘A void realm secret technique!’

Xu Ning’s pupils shrank.

The power from Uncle Song’s finger just now was outside the realm of possibility for a mortal realm external skill.

‘The Feng mansion is full of masters.’

“Continue.”

Uncle Song gestured.

Xu Ning understood Uncle Song’s strength, so he no longer held back.

Xu Ning attacked again, throwing out a double strength punch.

Uncle Song clearly felt the pressure.

He moved fiercely. With his fingertips that were accompanied by a spiral piercing force, he tapped on Xu Ning’s fist.

The force of the contact pushed the two of them away from each other.

“Enough.”

Uncle Song smiled happily. “You are quite strong, you live up to your reputation.”

After hearing Uncle Song praise Xu Ning, Xiao Die and the maids kept looking at Xu Ning with admiration.

Although Uncle Song was friendly, as the maids of Miss San’s household, they had never seen him admire any newcomer this much.

“Xiao Die, when you arrange accommodation for Xu Ning later, remember to arrange a separate villa.”

Uncle Song turned his head and said to Xiaodie.

“Understood, Uncle Song.”

Xiao Die agreed, and at the same time, she realized that Uncle Song valued Xu Ning very highly.

There were very few outsiders who could get a separate villa in the Feng mansion. In Miss Feng San’s courtyard, only Uncle Song and Auntie Wei could get this treatment.

For the other people in the courtyard, even if they had the qualifications, they would only live in a single room in the backyard. Xu Ning was the first one to live in a separate villa like this.

“Xiao Die, go and arrange it.”

After Uncle Song finished speaking, he looked at Xu Ning again. “Come in, let’s talk as we wait for Miss Sister.”

…

Inside the study of Feng Qizhi, the head of the Feng family.

Inside the study, the shelves were full of books, and the walls were full of famous calligraphy and paintings.

Feng Qizhi sat at the desk, looking at two dutiful children.

“Sit down.”

Feng Qizhi waved his hand to let Feng Chengyu and Feng Haoqi sit down.

“Yes, Dad.”

Feng Chengyu and Feng Haoqi looked at each other with an unfriendly look.

The two of them were each other’s biggest opponent.

After seeing the brother and sister act like this, Feng Qizhi sighed in his heart.

The two were not in harmony, Feng Qizhi was aware of this.

The reason for this was to gain authority in the Feng family.

Feng Qizhi felt a little regretful about this, but he did not have a choice.

This kind of contention between relatives annoyed Feng Qizhi a lot.

He had been the head of the Feng family for twenty years.

In the public’s perspective, he was extremely respected, highly regarded by the Yuelan Faction, and a tycoon of Chun Rin Canton. However, Feng Qizhi knew that this was not what he wanted.

Ever since the beginning, his goal was to pursue martial arts.

When he was young, Feng Qizhi hoped to be able to enter the Yuelan Faction and become an official disciple.

However, because of his insufficient talent, Feng Qizhi’s eldest brother entered the Yuelan Faction instead, while he was forcibly appointed as the head of the family by his father.

The past two decades of work had delayed Feng Qizhi’s martial arts practice.

Now that his son and daughter had grown up, Feng Qizhi was ready to move on from leading the Feng family, and was ready to practice martial arts.

Choosing between Feng Chengyu and Feng Haoqi was one of his final decisions.

“I asked you two to come here because I have something for you to do.”

Feng Qizhi’s eyes swept across the faces of Feng Chengyu and Feng Haoqi.

“Father, please speak.”

The two said at the same time.

Feng Qizhi said, “The first thing is about the dan medicine business. You all know that our Feng family’s dan business started relatively late, so it’s not comparable to the Xiao family and the Ye family. However, it is still a very lucrative industry, so the Feng family can’t give it up.”

“Recently, I invited a group of alchemy masters to refine dan medicines for our Feng family. This batch of dan medicine is of high quality. It will be our stepping stone to take over the dan medicine market.”

“You two, use this batch of dan medicine to find a way to open up more sales channels, whether it’s in Chun Rin Canton or other canton cities.”

“You guys should do this together. Try to work together, do you understand what I mean?”

Feng Qizhi’s words made Feng Chengyu and Feng Haoqi’s hearts skip a beat.

They understood Feng Qizhi’s intentions.

This was part of their final test before Feng Qizhi’s resignation!

“Understood.”

The two responded at the same time.

Feng Qizhi nodded. “The second thing is that there was news from the Yuelan Faction. In four months, they will hold a demon slaying practice session, so we need to provide the Yuelan Faction with demon beasts.”

“In the past, we all went to Chuanhe Mountain to capture the live demon beasts, then transferred them to the Yuelan Faction. We will do the same this year. You guys will handle this matter.”

“In a few days, you two will also send your people to Chuanhe Mountain to capture the live demon beasts. At the same time, I will send a transfer team to wait outside Chuanhe Mountain. Deliver the captured live demon beasts to the team, and they’ll send it to Yuelan Faction.”

“Remember, you must capture live demon beasts. The stronger the better, and the more the better, understood?”

“Understood!”

Feng Chengyu and Feng Haoqi had already concluded that this was Feng Qizhi’s final test for them.

Opening sales channels for dan medicine was a test of their business acumen.

Capturing live demon beasts seemed to be a test of their martial artists strength, but it actually depended on their ability to gather and employ people.

If they did a good job, they would gain the qualifications to become the head of the family.

“Chengyu, Haoqi…”

Feng Qizhi suddenly lowered his voice. “Behave well. After all, managing a family is not easy.”

“Okay, now go do your own work.”

After seeing the excitement of the two children, Feng Qizhi felt a little bored.

Feng Chengyu and Feng Haoqi went outside together.

They didn’t even bid farewell to each other before they went their separate ways.

‘The head of the family!’

Feng Chengyu held a strong desire in her heart.

‘I must defeat Feng Haoqi.’

…

“Miss San is back!”

As Xu Ning was talking to Uncle Song, he suddenly heard Xiao Die’s voice.

“Come, let’s go see Miss San.”

Xu Ning and Uncle Song went out together.

“Xu Ning, you are here!”

Feng Chengyu smiled when she saw Xu Ning.

Xu Ning was here at the perfect time.

In Feng Chengyu’s opinion, although Xu Ning was only in the intention realm, he was successful in practicing a void realm secret technique, which made him comparable to a spirit realm martial artist.

This was why Feng Chengyu wanted to hire Xu Ning.

The combat power of a martial artist in the spirit realm was extremely important at this moment.

“Go and tell Auntie Wei to come over.”

After Feng Chengyu and Xu Ning greeted each other, Feng Chengyu spoke to the yard protector.

“When Auntie Wei comes, we’ll talk in detail.”

Feng Chengyu said to Uncle Song and Xu Ning.

After a while, Auntie Wei entered Feng Chengyu’s study.

She was a woman who seemed to be nearly forty years old. She was wearing a battle outfit with her long hair tied in a hairpin. There were some wrinkles on her face, but she still exuded a mature charm.

“Miss San, you called for me?”

After Auntie Wei walked into Feng Chengyu’s study, she saw Uncle Song and an unfamiliar young man sitting there.

“This is Xu Ning.”

“And this is Auntie Wei.”

Feng Chengyu took the initiative to introduce the two to each other.

“Xu Ning?”

Auntie Wei had heard Feng Chengyu mention Xu Ning’s name a long time ago.

She took a look at Xu Ning. She then noticed that Uncle Song was giving her a look of confirmation.

With that look, Auntie Wei knew that Xu Ning had already passed Uncle Song’s test.

Xu Ning already knew of Auntie Wei.

She was Feng Chengyu’s subordinate. Besides Uncle Song, she was the only martial artist in the spirit realm who was highly regarded by Feng Chengyu.

“Uncle Song, Auntie Wei, Xu Ning…”

After Feng Chengyu saw her three most powerful warriors here, she said, “My father is going to delegate his power and determine the family heir!”

Feng Chengyu told everyone what she had heard in the study.

Uncle Song and Auntie Wei were very excited after hearing this.

They had been following Feng Chengyu for a long time, so they wanted Feng Chengyu to lead the family.

Once Feng Chengyu became the head of the family, she could control the resources of the entire family.

As her subordinates, they would surely be able to receive rich benefits. Not only could they obtain a large amount of martial arts resources, they could also help their own families, completely changing their family status.

This was why they had been working under Feng Chengyu.

Although Feng Chengyu was weak in martial arts, she was a daughter of the Feng family, which in turn meant that she had unlimited potential.

When Feng Chengyu saw that Uncle Song and Auntie Wei were excited, she seized the opportunity to speak, “I will definitely not be able to do these two tasks alone, so I have to rely on the help of you three. If we are successful, you all will definitely be rewarded.”

She wanted to make a promise to make the three of them feel at ease.

“Xu Ning.”

Feng Chengyu looked at Xu Ning.

She knew that Auntie Wei and Uncle Song’s wishes were mainly to help their own family, but Xu Ning was different.

“Xu Ning, if I can become the head of the Feng family, I can directly recommend you to the Yuelan Faction. With your qualifications, you will definitely become an inner disciple, and even have the opportunity to be selected as a top-tier talent!”

Fearing that Xu Ning did not understand her kindness, Feng Chengyu emphasized, “In State Jifeng, the situation is quite chaotic. In order to ensure the stability and purity of factions, top factions recruit their disciples not only based on qualifications, but also on talent.”

“If you go to Yuelan Faction alone, you will only be an outer disciple, and you will just receive a lower grade void realm secret scroll. But if I recommend you, you will become an inner disciple or even a true disciple. At that point, you will have the opportunity to obtain a high quality void realm secret scroll!”

“You surely know that the quality of the void realm secret scroll will directly determine your upper limit.”

Feng Chengyu said, “So please help me!”
