121: I do not accept verbal thanks.

Ye Feng burst into laughter and happily agreed, "That's easy to say. We have plenty of time ahead of us."

Along the way, Ye Feng had witnessed Feng Ming's various methods and had also developed the intention to befriend him.

Moreover, the man before him had even managed to charm the City Lord's daughter. As long as he survived the current difficulties, his future would surely be limitless.

Feng Ming personally escorted him to the door and watched Ye Feng leave.

Feng Ming was also very grateful to Ye Feng in his heart.

If it weren't for him being here to deter the small fries today, how could he have had the time to go and purchase the Formation?

Furthermore, Ye Feng's personality was very much to Feng Ming's liking.

Combined with his status as the City Lord's confidant, Feng Ming truly wanted to build a good relationship with him.

After Ye Feng left, Feng Ming briefly explained the process of how he purchased the Formation.

Upon hearing this, the members of the Feng Family looked at Feng Ming with eyes full of shock.

"So, you only spent two million on this ten-million Spirit Stone Formation?"

Eldest Uncles Wife looked at Feng Ming as if he were a precious treasure.

Feng Ming nodded. "Indeed."

Eldest Uncles Wife laughed heartily. "Minger, you did a great job with this business deal; it was truly worth it! For two million, you've bought such a powerful safeguard for the Feng Family."

Feng Xiaotian was also very satisfied with Feng Ming's performance.

"Minger, with you in the Feng Family, the road to our rise will not be far off."

Feng Muqing had a look of astonishment on his face.

Feng Muyang, however, had a look of gratification. No father would fail to feel happy and gratified upon seeing his son's capabilities.

At the same time.

As soon as the Feng Family's Formation was activated.

The entire Qingyang City felt it.

Especially the powerful experts; even from a distance, they could feel the threat emanating from the Formation.

"Holy crap, is this the power of the Nascent Soul Destruction Formation?"

"The fluctuations are so strong. There's going to be a good show now. The Feng Family has already activated the Formation; the Huangfu Family probably won't dare to go to the Feng Family at all."

"In the past, I only knew about spending money like water, but I didn't expect Feng Ming to have such boldness to spend ten million on a whim. There will be no shortage of excitement in the future."

If everyone else in Qingyang City felt the fluctuations of the Formation, it was impossible for the people of the Huangfu Family not to.

The Family Head, Huangfu He, even saw the barrier enveloping the Feng Family within it.

He was both angry and furious, yet he was helpless.

"Feng Ming is truly detestable. If I had known they were determined to get this Formation, we should have struck first. Now, we can't stand him but can't get rid of him either. It's incredibly frustrating."

Huangfu Qing agreed completely. "Who says it isn't so? But now there's no way at all. We can only wait for Feng Ming to be alone."

Huangfu He nodded. The people he sent out were also helpless now and could only keep watch outside the Feng Residence.

He hoped to get a chance to kill Feng Ming soon.

The longer it dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for the Huangfu Family.

"Tell them to find an opportunity to succeed as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

...Feng Family hall.

Because the things to be discussed later were quite private, everyone except the Feng Family members was outside.

Feng Ming glanced at the Feng Family members and spoke, "Let's not talk about the Formation anymore. Next, let's discuss the key point: our Feng Family's future development plan."

"To summarize, it's just four words: Keep a low profile!"

Everyone was stunned.

They really couldn't understand Feng Ming's words.

If it were before, they could move and just keep a low profile.

But from the moment they entered Qingyang City today until now, not a single thing had anything to do with being low-key.

The sensation when entering the city, the sensation of buying the Formation, and even now, the Feng Family activating the Formation would surely cause a new round of sensation.

In just one day, the Feng Family could be said to have stolen all the limelight. How could this be related to keeping a low profile?

Upon hearing this, Feng Muqing started laughing. "Minger, what do you mean by this? You've already taken all the limelight today. Who wouldn't recognize you when you go out?"

"With this, can we still be low-key?"

The others also couldn't understand Feng Ming's meaning.

"Alright, let me put it more bluntly. It's not me, it's you all. Because everyone's combat power is limited, we must currently rely on the Formation."

"But the Formation has a certain range of protection. So, my meaning is that for this year, at least one year, no one except me and Big Brother is allowed to leave the Feng Residence."

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly understood.

"So that's what you meant. Don't worry, we aren't people without a sense of propriety. Unless absolutely necessary, we will definitely not leave the residence. Even if we have no choice but to leave, we will inform you in advance."

The Feng Family members guaranteed one after another.

When it came to personal safety, they weren't muddled.

Feng Ming nodded. With them guaranteeing like this, he was relieved.

"It's getting late. Everyone, go and rest."

After tossing and turning for so long, he was truly tired... Returning to the room, Feng Ming quickly checked on Jiang Shuwan.

"Wife, what's wrong? I've noticed you've been unhappy since I came back. Did someone bully you?"

It would have been better if he hadn't asked, but as soon as Feng Ming did, a layer of mist instantly welled up in Jiang Shuwan's eyes.

She shook her head. "Husband, no one bullied me. It's me—I feel so sorry for all of you."

"Originally, the Feng Family and the Huangfu Family had no interaction. It was because I couldn't hold back at that time and had a conflict with Huangfu Yunyan that all these subsequent events happened."

"It even forced the Feng Family to leave their home in Liumian Prefecture and come to Qingyang City. Now Grandpa, Eldest Uncle, Eldest Uncles Wife, and Father are all in danger at any time because of this."

"Now they don't even have their freedom anymore. I am the sinner of the Feng Family."

As she spoke, Jiang Shuwan began to sob.

Feng Ming roughly understood what she meant.

He felt a bit helpless.

"Foolish Wife, what are you thinking? What does this have to do with you? The Huangfu Family was just looking for an excuse, and it just so happened that the target they found was you."

"The Huangfu Family wanted the Medicinal Pill market in Liumian Prefecture, so they would have inevitably clashed with the Feng Family. So you don't need to blame yourself. Not only was this not your fault, but even if it were, I, your Husband, can still protect you."

"So, at any time, don't be afraid. Just go ahead and do what you want to do. Even if the sky falls, I will help you patch it up. If I can't patch it, I'll just make the hole bigger."

Jiang Shuwan leaned in Feng Ming's arms. Hearing this, her delicate body trembled, and she hugged Feng Ming tightly with both hands.

"Husband, thank you."

Even though she was a daughter of the Jiang Family, not even her parents had ever treated her like this.

Giving her encouragement, giving her confidence.

It was clearly her who had dragged the Feng Family to such a state, yet her Husband still protected her like this.

Feng Ming held Jiang Shuwan, feeling very distressed for her. This girl had kept it to herself all this time; she must have been terrified and uneasy every day.

"Be good and don't be afraid. Just believe in me. Leave everything to me to solve."

Jiang Shuwan nodded. "Husband, you're so good."

She hadn't married the wrong person. She was even very grateful that Feng Mian returned late; otherwise, she would have missed out on such a good Husband.

Feng Ming's finger tilted up Jiang Shuwan's chin, and he said with a smile, "Wife, I don't accept verbal thanks."

Jiang Shuwan's face turned a bashful red, and she took the initiative to kiss him.
