Enemy of the Xiao Family
Xiao Feng looked at Li Dehua, who was unwilling to believe him, with a helpless expression, understanding that anything he did now would be wrong.
Since that was the case, Xiao Feng walked up to Li Dehua and gave him some money: "This is for your medical expenses. If you have anything in the future, you can come to the Xiao Family and find Xiao Heng."
He might be leaving the city in the next few days, so he could only let Li Dehua talk to Xiao Heng.
At this time, City Lord Xiao and Madam Xiao in the City Lord's Mansion were discussing Xiao Feng's matter. Both of them felt that Xiao Feng had not gotten rid of his old bad habits.
Otherwise, there was no reason for someone to block his family's door just a few days after he returned.
Furthermore, the guards under General Xiao discovered that Xiao Feng had been taking the Disciples of Qing Sect to brothels these past few days, which was not a good sign.
Just then, Xiao Feng walked in from the door and saw at a glance that their expressions were very serious.
City Lord Xiao came up to Xiao Feng: "You've been at Qing Sect for so long, why haven't you managed to get rid of your bad habits?"
Xiao Feng listened to their words, which subtly implied they misunderstood him, and shook his head with surprise: "I got rid of my old bad habits long ago. This time, it's not my fault."
If it weren't for him following Su Mingren to the academy, he wouldn't have known the students in the academy or Li Dehua at all.
Madam Xiao looked at Xiao Feng, who was unwilling to admit his bad habits, and walked to his side involuntarily: "If you have bad habits, let's just admit it. It's not shameful."
The other Xiao Family members even pointed and whispered about Xiao Feng, as if they didn't believe he could do anything proper.
Xiao Feng understood that he had no credibility in the Xiao Family. It must have become a habit from being arrogant and domineering at home when he was young.
Anyway, he wouldn't stay in Evernight City for long. Qing Sect was where he should be.
Xiao Feng raised his hand: "I promise I don't have my old bad habits anymore. You can believe me."
Madam Xiao and City Lord Xiao looked at Xiao Feng's serious expression and subtly felt that he wasn't deceiving them, so they were willing to believe him this time.
Xiao Feng watched them return to their seats and spoke smoothly: "I'm taking them back to Qing Sect tomorrow."
When they heard that Xiao Feng was leaving soon, their Faces were filled with reluctance.
But they understood that Xiao Feng was originally a Disciple of Qing Sect, and no matter how reluctant they were, they could only let him leave.
Xiao Feng glanced at the people behind him and said involuntarily: "You all rest well. We will leave Evernight City early tomorrow morning."
Zhou Wei and Shen Qingchen exchanged glances and readily agreed.
City Lord Xiao understood that Xiao Feng was determined to leave, so he didn't say anything to stop him and let him leave the hall.
Unconsciously, the night had already passed.
Xiao Feng arrived in the hall early in the morning, waiting for Shen Qingchen, Zhou Wei, and the others to come out.
Leaving earlier meant arriving at Qing Sect earlier. Nobody knew if Lu Xue'er and Feng Luo had completed their mission of descending the mountain for training.
If the two of them returned to Qing Sect early, his matter of returning home to visit relatives would be exposed.
In just the time it takes for one stick of incense to burn, everyone from Qing Sect was ready.
Xiao Feng came into the hall and glanced at City Lord Xiao and Madam Xiao sitting above: "I will come back to visit when I have time in the future."
City Lord Xiao listened to Xiao Feng constantly thinking about the Xiao Family and said in a stern manner: "When you get to Qing Sect, follow their teachings properly and don't think about the Xiao Family."
The Xiao Family had already become a dominant force, and no one could sit above them and act as they pleased.
Xiao Feng glanced at the sky outside, a smile appearing on his Face: "It's getting late. We'll leave first."
Just as he turned around, he saw Xiao Heng, covered in injuries, stumbling in through the door and falling right in front of Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng looked at Xiao Heng's Face full of wounds and said speechlessly: "Why can't you get rid of your habit of bullying others? Now you've been bullied, haven't you?"
Although Xiao Heng was no longer in his memories, just by Xiao Heng helping Wang Fugui, he knew that his character was likely not good.
At this time, Xiao Feng had no intention of interfering in his affairs and planned to let him learn a lesson.
No one expected Xiao Heng to grab Xiao Feng: "You misunderstood me. We... our Xiao Family's enemies have come knocking."
City Lord Xiao and Madam Xiao learned that their enemies had attacked the Xiao Family's gate and simultaneously stood up, their Faces filled with shock: "What did you say? They've attacked?"
The people in the hall exchanged glances, and not a single person could sit still.
Just then, a noisy sound came from the entrance: "Are you people from the Xiao Family just going to be cowards? Do you dare to come out and find trouble with us?"
Xiao Feng looked at City Lord Xiao and Madam Xiao's ashen Faces, understanding that the people outside were very likely their enemies.
Since that was the case, how could he let the people at the entrance cause a commotion?
Xiao Feng walked out from the hall and saw at a glance that there were quite a few people in the courtyard, each of them exuding murderous intent.
Zhou Wei and Shen Qingchen originally thought these people were from the Xiao Family. No one expected them to be seeking revenge.
When the two saw Xiao Feng come out, they immediately understood and walked up to Xiao Feng, blocking the path of those people.
Zhou Wei secretly glanced at Xiao Feng: "Who are these people? Why do they have a grudge against your Xiao Family?"
In their eyes, the Xiao Family should be considered a wealthy local family in Evernight City. There was no reason for such a thing to happen.
Not only was Zhou Wei unclear, but Xiao Feng was also equally unclear. He looked back in the direction of Xiao Heng.
After the incident with Su Mingren, he was unwilling to help blindly.
When Xiao Heng saw Xiao Feng's gaze on him, he immediately understood and walked up to Xiao Feng: "Big Brother, let me explain to you."
Xiao Feng nodded slightly: "You'd best not leave anything out. Describe the matter exactly as it happened."
Initially, Su Mingren had left things out, causing Xiao Feng to deal with Li Dehua, who was sitting in the academy, which ultimately led to that bitter outcome.
Fortunately, the impact wasn't too great, and they were still able to suppress it.
Otherwise, the Xiao Family this time could very likely have their reputation affected by Xiao Feng's matter, which was not something Xiao Feng wanted to see.
Xiao Heng pointed at the people in front of him: "Ever since you left the Xiao Family, our Xiao Family and they have become mortal enemies. Recently, they've been frequently coming here to seek revenge."
Since Xiao Feng wasn't as angry as he expected, Xiao Heng took a deep breath and continued: "The assassination a few days ago almost injured our City Lord."
With just a short sentence, Xiao Feng's temper was immediately ignited. He glanced at the crowd in front of him: "It seems we can't let them stay."
