226: Anyone who touches my wife will die.

Jiang Shuwan suddenly pounced into Feng Ming's embrace. Although Xiao Yi hadn't succeeded, she was a young girl after all; experiencing this for the first time, she was still very afraid.

Seeing Jiang Shuwan like this, Feng Ming's heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly said with concern, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. What happened?"

Jiang Shuwan wiped her tears and shook her head. "Husband, it's nothing. I'm just a bit shaken. Fortunately, you helped me improve my strength, so I was able to escape unharmed."

Jiang Shuwan recounted today's events to Feng Ming. "To be honest, I really didn't expect Xiao Yi's strength to be so weak."

"Husband, let's just forget about this. Big Brother has already gone to deal with Xiao Yi for me; he should have received the punishment he deserves."

Feng Ming smiled. Jiang Shuwan was his wife, his first wife at that, and he had basically given her all the good things he had.

If she were still a weakling after that, it would be unreasonable.

However, Feng Ming disagreed with Jiang Shuwan's subsequent words. "Foolish Wife, Big Brother taking action is a matter of brotherhood. But as your man, I certainly cannot tolerate this."

"Besides, this isn't a case of 'whoever is weaker is in the right.' If we let someone go just because they can't beat you, then if we encounter someone we can't beat, should we also just swallow our pride?"

It was a matter of principle; there was no room for negotiation.

Feng Ming was never the type to swallow his pride, especially when his wife had been bullied; he wouldn't act like a saint.

"But..." Jiang Shuwan looked worried. "Xiao Yi is the son of the Former Prefect after all. If this gets out of hand, what if it's hard to settle?"

Feng Ming chuckled. "From the moment he laid a hand on you, he was destined for a bad end. I never planned on settling this peacefully."

"Come, I'll take you to get justice!"

After saying that, Feng Ming pulled Jiang Shuwan downstairs. Seeing Feng Ming's determined attitude, Jiang Shuwan didn't say anything more.

After all, her husband was venting his anger for her sake. If she were to try and persuade him otherwise, it would be inappropriate.

At this moment, she finally understood how important it was to marry the right person!

You can cause as much trouble as you want, and he will settle all your worries for you!

The two went downstairs and headed straight for Xiao Yi's location.

On the other side.

The Maid, who had returned ahead of them, was already standing before Huangfu Rui and Huangfu Yunyan.

However, the news she brought back left both of them dumbfounded.

"How is Xiao Yi such a waste? He couldn't even beat Jiang Shuwan, and he even had his arms crippled by Feng Mian."

The Maid nodded. "I came back as soon as I got the news. Feng Mian hasn't left; I reckon he still has more to do."

Huangfu Yunyan nodded and stood up excitedly. "Good, great, this is simply wonderful! Those fools in the Feng Family—I was just worried that Xiao Yi hadn't succeeded, but I didn't expect Feng Mian to do such a thing."

"This way, their enmity deepens. The Feng Family and the Xiao Family are now mortal enemies."

"Wonderful!"

Huangfu Rui said crossly.

"How is this good? Feng Ming is personally going to find Xiao Yi. Given his character, he'll kill Xiao Yi. Once he's dead, how are we supposed to establish a connection with the Jiang Family?"

Huangfu Yunyan was taken aback. "Right, Xiao Yi cannot die. If he dies, the line we wanted to use to connect with the Jiang Family will be broken. Since they're already enemies, a living Xiao Yi is more useful to us."

"Come, let's go see as well. Right, Huangfu Rui, go find the two Elders. Tell them Feng Ming wants to kill Xiao Yi and have them stop him. We must not let Xiao Yi die."

Huangfu Rui nodded, and the three of them immediately split into two groups.

After walking for a while, Feng Ming and Jiang Shuwan happened to run into Feng Mian.

Seeing Jiang Shuwan and Feng Ming together, Feng Mian breathed a sigh of relief. "Second Brother, Younger Brothers Wife, don't go. I've already avenged Younger Brothers Wife."

"I've already crippled that lecher's hands and feet. Anyone who dares to bully a member of our Feng Family, I certainly won't let them off easy."

Feng Ming nodded and cupped his fists to Feng Mian. "Thank you, Big Brother, for seeking justice for Shuwan. But as her man, I cannot sit idly by. I must personally go and meet him regarding this matter."

No joke, someone else's revenge was theirs; his own revenge definitely had to be taken by himself.

After saying that, Feng Ming led everyone forward.

Not far behind them, Huangfu Yunyan looked dazed. She hadn't expected Feng Mian to be so ruthless as to directly cripple Xiao Yi's four limbs.

The Maid also felt afraid and couldn't help but swallow. "The people of the Feng Family are all ruthless. And their brotherly bond is so good."

As she spoke, the Maid's face was full of envy.

Her status was humble and lowly; if she were wronged, who would stand up for her?

Huangfu Yunyan, on the other hand, looked jealous. But at the same time, she was also worried that Feng Ming would kill Xiao Yi in a fit of rage.

Although that would make the two families mortal enemies until death, her previous plan to use Xiao Yi to get close to the Jiang Family would also go down the drain.

In the blink of an eye, Feng Ming had led everyone to the entrance of the alley. From a distance, they saw Xiao Yi lying on the ground, his state of life unknown.

Feng Mian scratched his head somewhat awkwardly. "That guy's mouth was just too foul, so I gave him a slap. He shouldn't be dead, right?"

Just as Feng Ming was about to go check the situation, Elder Xu and Elder Pan arrived together. Behind them followed Huangfu Rui and other Disciples.

Seeing Xiao Yi lying in a pool of blood nearby, the two Elders' expressions changed instantly. "What is going on here?"

Jiang Shuwan helplessly recounted the events once more.

When the two heard that Feng Mian had crippled Xiao Yi's limbs, they were shocked.

"Feng Ming, this is the son of the Former Prefect. Think twice before you act. I won't stop you if you want to kill him in the Trial grounds, but right now, the Trial hasn't started yet. Once Xiao Yi's death reaches the Xiao Family, it will surely cause an uproar. Are you sure you want to kill him?"

Feng Ming didn't answer immediately but instead asked, "May I ask the Elders, if one day someone had ill intentions toward your family, what would you do?"

Hearing this, Elder Xu fell silent, while Elder Pan, who was beside him, stepped forward.

"Feng Ming, I support you. The purpose of Cultivating is to have the ability to protect one's family. If you don't seek revenge for this, then what is the meaning of Cultivating?"

Elder Xu hurriedly added a clarification, "I'm not saying not to seek revenge, but with the Liangzhou Trial imminent, it's not worth becoming mortal enemies with the Xiao Family at this time."

Feng Ming said with a smile, "Shuwan is my wife, my family. If anyone tries to touch my family, I will fight them with my life. There's no need to even consider it."

As he spoke, Feng Ming's gaze drifted as if unintentionally toward Huangfu Rui and Huangfu Yunyan.

The two subconsciously took a step back.

Seeing Feng Ming's persistence, Elder Xu sighed. "Fine, since you've made up your mind, then do as you please."
