190: Tonight will decide who wins and who loses!

Lingxiao Sect.

Huangfu Yunyan's residence.

The Maid knelt on the ground to report the news she had gathered.

Huangfu Yunyan nodded, "Alright, I understand."

The Maid looked worried, "Young Miss, should we prepare in advance?"

Huangfu Yunyan shook her head, "What can we prepare? The Huangfu Family is already at the end of its rope and won't last much longer. We are just insignificant little pawns; we can't do anything, and it won't affect us much."

"There will certainly be a life-and-death battle between Huangfu He and Feng Ming. Naturally, I hope Feng Ming dies, but it doesn't matter if he doesn't. As long as Huangfu Rui is still in my hands, there will be plenty of opportunities later."

"Continue to stay in the manor these few days to help me gather news, especially regarding Huangfu Rui. You must notify me immediately."

The Maid received her orders.

She stood up and left.

Feng Family.

Feng Ming took a deep breath and opened his eyes at the same time.

Jiang Shuwan, who was nearby, ran over with an excited expression, "Husband, you've finally had a Breakthrough. Ninth Level of Golden Core, only one step away from the Nascent Soul Stage."

Feng Ming smiled and nodded, "Look at you, aren't you about the same as me? Work a bit harder, and you might even Breakthrough before me."

Jiang Shuwan pouted and shook her head, "It's not that easy. I've been cultivating for five days, and there's still no obvious fluctuation."

However, although her Realm hadn't increased, Jiang Shuwan's comprehension of the Way of Cold Ice had deepened significantly.

She believed it wouldn't take long before she achieved a Breakthrough to the second stage, Thorough Mastery.

"There's no Spirit Gathering Formation at home. Compared to the Sect, it's ultimately a bit lacking."

Jiang Shuwan sighed.

Feng Ming's mouth twitched. In fact, he had been working very hard, but he could indeed feel that Dual Cultivation inside a Spirit Gathering Formation felt different from Dual Cultivation outside.

"Alright, let's wait a bit longer. Once the matters with the Huangfu Family are settled, we can return to the Sect to Cultivate in peace."

"Besides, it's just that you think it's slow. If Lu Qianqian knew your cultivation speed, she would probably be envious to death."

Hearing this, Jiang Shuwan gave him a coquettish look and said crossly, "You have the nerve to say that. With you tossing me around without restraint every day, it even hurts to walk now. It's so annoying. I really wish you and Sister Anan could get married sooner."

Jiang Shuwan was truly suffering in her heart. Dealing with the energetic Feng Ming alone every day was almost more than she could bear. She thought finding herself a sister would make things easier, but the other party was delaying the marriage.

This resulted in her still having to shoulder it all by herself.

Feng Ming gave a helpless smile; he certainly wanted to.

But the problem now was that as long as the Huangfu Family wasn't dealt with, this marriage couldn't happen.

This was the original agreement. He wanted to, but the key was that his Father-in-law was unwilling.

But then again, he had indeed been tossing Jiang Shuwan around quite a bit these past few days. In reality, it wasn't that he was just indulging in pleasure, but rather he wanted to help Jiang Shuwan Breakthrough as quickly as possible.

"Just hold on for a few more days. The Huangfu Family's small movements have been constant lately; they probably can't hold back anymore."

Jiang Shuwan nodded and looked at the sky, her brow furrowed, "The weather hasn't been good these few days. It's so gloomy; I wonder if it's ever going to rain!"

"Husband, I'll go get a coat for you."

Feng Ming nodded.

Just as Jiang Shuwan left, Feng Da arrived in a hurry.

"Young Master, there's news. The City Lord sent word that the Huangfu Family has been secretly moving people and assets every day lately."

Hearing this, Feng Ming laughed, "Good grief, Huangfu He is lacking confidence and is preparing a way out for himself!"

"Continue!"

Feng Da nodded, "The other news was sent back by the Eldest Young Master. Huangfu Jing was called back this morning and hasn't returned to the Sect yet."

It was late now, and Huangfu Rui most likely wouldn't be able to return.

Jiang Shuwan walked over with the coat. Hearing Feng Da's report, she asked quite puzzledly, "By the way, Husband, I've always been curious. Why do you guard against the Huangfu Family but don't pay much attention to the Huangfu brothers?"

"Let me explain it to you this way. At first, I thought that even if Huangfu He fought me to the death, he wouldn't drag his two sons into it."

"Given Lord Lu's character, as long as these two brothers stayed at the Sect and no evidence of their involvement was found in the subsequent crimes of the Huangfu Family, he would definitely let them go."

"But I didn't expect Huangfu He to call Huangfu Jing back at this time. Clearly, he has already made a choice."

Jiang Shuwan was stunned, her Face full of doubt, "A choice? What does that mean?"

Feng Ming said, "If Huangfu He fails, he will definitely die. However, the Huangfu Family won't necessarily be slaughtered. City Lord Lu distinguishes clearly between grievances and debts; he will surely release the innocent members of the Huangfu Family. Huangfu Jing is his son; now it seems he plans to have him succeed the position of Clan Chief."

"It means that while he, Huangfu He, can die, the Huangfu Family cannot be destroyed. Huangfu Rui has good cultivation talent and has the Sect Master of the Lingxiao Sect as his master. As long as Huangfu Rui hasn't committed any crimes, for the sake of the Sect Master's Face, he certainly won't be implicated."

"Of course, not just him, there's another person who won't be implicated either."

Jiang Shuwan was stunned, "Who?"

"Huangfu Yunyan."

Feng Ming's eyes narrowed slightly!

"This Huangfu Yunyan is not simple at all. With so much happening to the Huangfu Family, she isn't worried in the least. Except for the time she went back to report news, she hasn't left the Academy at any other time."

"Clearly, she not only sees things clearly but has also thoroughly studied City Lord Lu's character. No matter how the Huangfu Family and the Feng Family clash, as long as she isn't involved, she can survive."

"Then should we..."

Feng Da reminded nervously.

Feng Ming simply waved his hand.

"Do you know why I can be friends with City Lord Lu?"

Feng Da shook his head. Feng Ming smiled and said, "Because we are the same kind of people. We aren't afraid of enemies, and even less afraid of enemies leaving behind descendants to seek revenge."

"As the saying goes, 'A gentleman is open and poised, while a mean man is always full of distress.' If I wanted to kill Huangfu Yunyan, I would have killed her in Liumian Prefecture long ago; I wouldn't wait until now."

"If she wants revenge, I'm not afraid. I'm not even afraid of the entire Huangfu Family, so why would I fear her alone?"

"Tell my Father-in-law to get ready. The people of the Huangfu Family should be about to make their move."

Feng Da replied and left.

Feng Ming looked at Jiang Shuwan and said, "Go inform my father and grandfather, and have them come to the back hall. I have something to say to them."

Jiang Shuwan nodded and went to the front hall.

Huangfu Family.

Countless people gathered in the courtyard.

Huangfu He, Huangfu Qing, and Huangfu Mo were all standing in the study, with Huangfu Jing standing to the side.

In front of everyone, Huangfu He handed the token representing the Huangfu Clan Chief to Huangfu Jing.

Seeing this, the members of the Huangfu Family all knelt on the ground.

Huangfu Rui was bewildered: "Father!"

Huangfu He sighed, "Jinger, this is your destiny. Now that the Huangfu Family has reached the moment of life or death, success or failure is decided tonight. If we win, everything remains as before. If we lose, we start over from the beginning!"
