Chapter 3060 — Ling Yi? Wei Zhao!
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Feng Tianqi knitted his brows. He had not expected matters to develop to this point. The affairs of the Feng family were slipping further and further beyond his control. First had come the revocation of Feng Shihua's position as heir to the young family head, which he had been powerless to change. Now Feng Tianhu had dredged up this affair, even more damaging to Feng Shihua, catching him entirely off guard.
Feng Tianqi had originally intended, after some time had passed, to speak with the Old Master Feng about restoring Feng Shihua's position as heir. After all, the Ancient Feng family now had only Feng Shihua left among the third-generation direct descendants. If he was not made heir to the young family head, was the Feng family to have no successor at all?
But now Feng Tianhu had manufactured this scandal, leaving Feng Tianqi no room to maneuver and cutting off his retreat entirely. Feng Tianqi looked at his son Feng Shihua with the frustration of one whose iron will not become steel, seething with anger. Of all the people you could have acknowledged as your leader, you had to go and acknowledge an enemy of the Feng family. Are you not simply borrowing trouble where none existed?
"Third Uncle, those words of yours go a bit too far. How could I be calling a thief my father?" However easygoing Feng Shihua might be, faced with such harsh words from Feng Tianhu he had to retort, especially since they had dragged Wei Zhao into it. "First of all, if not for Wei Zhao, I would have perished in the trials of the Mystic Elixir Sect. And he helped Nitian obtain a Great Restoration Pill to heal his wounds, which might be counted as compensation to Nitian!"
"Compensation? Nitian is a cripple now! How is that compensation? A single Great Restoration Pill can make up for it? What kind of joke is this, Feng Shihua? Is your head addled? How can those two things be the same?" Feng Tianhu raged.
"Tianhu, in truth what Shipian says is not wrong. Before, he crippled one of our Feng family's juniors. During the trials, he saved another of our Feng family's juniors. Matters between them may be considered evened out!" Feng Tianqi had finally settled on a countermeasure and now spoke. "Nitian and Shipian are both juniors of the Ancient Feng family. The Ancient Feng family is a single whole. If you insist on making trouble for Wei Zhao over Nitian's affair, is that not repaying kindness with enmity? What would others think of the Ancient Feng family?"
"That..." Feng Tianhu was at once left speechless. He had not expected Feng Tianqi to frame the matter from the lofty perspective of the Feng family as a whole, and indeed that was how it stood. He truly had no way to refute it.
"Enough, no more quarreling. This may be counted as one life for another. Moreover, Wei Zhao helped Shipian obtain a Great Restoration Pill for Nitian to consume. Let this matter rest for now!" Old Master Feng waved his hand and put an end to the argument. In truth, Old Master Feng understood full well that Feng Nitian was finished, and only Feng Shihua, one grandson, remained. If he were to be struck down once and for all, what would become of the Feng family thereafter?
"Yes!" Feng Tianhu and Feng Tianqi both assented. Since Old Master Feng had spoken, the matter was settled once and for all. Though Feng Tianhu harbored no end of grievances, there was nothing he could do at that moment, and he could only return in indignation to Feng Nitian's room.
(Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! I came back late today and only managed to write two chapters. If I can finish the third chapter, I will upload it; if not, I will make it up tomorrow, for four chapters in total.) RS
