The scene in front of the Li Family's gate was witnessed by many. Zeng Xingtian left unwillingly while Li Feng protected the remnants of the Fang Family, and the news spread quickly.

"Tsk, it's really unexpected."

In a tavern at the Sixth Ring, several families discussed the news.

"Indeed, there was quite a show today. The Zeng Family, having lost three consecutive matches, was utterly embarrassed and yet, they still managed to take down the Fang Family in one go."

"And that young head of the Fang Family actually took Li Feng as his master. You didn't see how Zeng Xingtian chased the Fang Family all the way to the Li Family's gate with arrogance, forcing the Fang Family's mistress to almost kneel and crawl before him."

"Tsk tsk tsk, that Fang Family lady truly deserves her reputation as one of the ten beauties of Ancestor Dragon City, even after marrying and having a child, she remains stunning. Her figure, full and graceful, is as charming as ever."

One person spoke with a lewd smile at the corner of his mouth.

Those around him agreed in unison.

"True. At the time, I thought Zeng Xingtian had completely seized control over the situation. The Fang Family mother and son were utterly constrained. If they didn't bow down, the remaining members of the Fang Family would lose hope, and the Fang Family would entirely collapse."

"But if the Fang Family mother and son conceded, well, then the backbone of the Fang Family would be broken. It wouldn't be easy to stand tall again, especially since the Zeng Family would never give the Fang Family a chance to rise again."

"When Li Fengtu acted, I thought the young and hot-headed Li Feng could not withstand Zeng Xingtian's provocation."

"You know, even though the Sikong family's eldest lady had set rules, if Li Feng was courting death, Zeng Xingtian couldn't be blamed. I think that was part of Zeng Xingtian's plan, seeking revenge for his son's death at the same time."

"But in the end, Li Feng turned his sword and killed a Zeng family member nearby, leaving Zeng Xingtian dumbfounded."

This person spoke, and the person opposite nodded, continuing: "Not only did Zeng Xingtian not expect it, but those Zeng family members didn't either. They were utterly stunned by the killing. Honestly, I also didn't react at first."

"But as soon as Li Feng spoke, I thought it was ingenious. What seemed like an unsolvable situation, Li Feng actually found a way out of."

This person said, patting the table, clearly impressed with Li Feng's actions.

"Yes, Li Feng truly is something special. Even forced into such a dire situation, he was able to turn the tides. You should've seen Zeng Xingtian's face, it was so dark, he must've been internally injured from anger."

At the Third Ring, in the Sikong family's study.

Sikong Yu reported her thoughts to her father, the current head of the Sikong family, Sikong Ningbei, who glanced at his daughter.

"Do as you said."

"Yes."

"Then I'll be going now, father." Sikong Yu promptly turned and left the study, while Sikong Ningbei watched his departing daughter.

"It's a pity she's not a son."

Sikong Ningbei sighed. This daughter, with her talent, intelligence, and wit, was top-notch. If she were a son instead of a daughter, she would undoubtedly be the next family head. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

What a pity.

However, what is this Li Feng capable of? He managed to integrate the Vermilion Bird Blood and awaken the Vermilion Bird Bloodline, something not seen for a thousand years since the Sikong family.

If this man truly has no blood relation to the Sikong family, marrying him into the family as her husband might be a good choice.

His daughter also had this thought. Such matters weren't uncommon in these families. If Li Feng could bear a stronger Vermilion Bird Bloodline with his daughter, then his position might allow this grandson to take over.

"Miss, Miss."

Just returning to her Luoyu Pavilion, a bright-eyed, fresh-faced girl rushes forward.

"What's the matter?"

"Miss, you wanted me to keep an eye on that Li Feng, right? He's been using your name arrogantly and domineeringly. This guy is simply shameless!"

The girl, with a bun-shaped face, clenches her pink fists.

"Oh?"

Sikong Yu looked at the maid with the bun-shaped face: "What did he do to make you so angry?"

The bun-faced maid quickly and vividly described the events in front of the Li Family's gate: "Miss, isn't it infuriating? This guy used your name as a shield, forcing the Zeng family not to dare lay a hand on him. In the end, they left with sullen faces, utterly unwilling."

After listening to the bun-faced maid, Sikong Yu only chuckled lightly.

"Hah, he's not stupid."

"Miss, aren't you angry?"

"What's there to be angry about? Just keep observing his actions, don't bother with him."

"Oh."

The bun-faced girl nodded.

"May I come in?"

Tian Wenxin stood outside the study door, knocking gently. Li Feng looked up towards the door and said, "Come in."

Tian Wenxin stepped into the study again, but this time her mindset had entirely changed.

Previously, with the Fang Family still intact, Tian Wenxin had some bargaining power. But now, with the Fang Family destroyed, only those she managed to bring along and a few others who escaped remained.

"I want to talk with you."

Tian Wenxin entered the study, looking at Li Feng.

"If you're looking for the assets you brought out, I have no objection," Li Feng replied directly, but Tian Wenxin shook her head slightly.

"Li Family Head, let's be frank. I am deeply grateful to you for acting at the critical moment to protect me and my son."

"As for the matters before, let's not bring them up again. It was short-sighted of me. Now that the Fang Family is destroyed, my son and I are like rootless driftwood. Even if we had some money, where would it be spent?"

Li Feng looked at Tian Wenxin, who had a self-deprecating smile at the corner of her mouth.

"Mrs. Fang, you must have some thoughts in mind. Let's hear them."

With the Fang Family destroyed, this stunning Mrs. Fang was indeed cornered. He was aware of how tragic the fate of those without a family in Ancestor Dragon City could be. The Death Arena on the Ninth Ring and the Flowers Pavilion were among the few options.

Men became slaves, women became maids.

And Zeng Xingtian was fiercely intent on not letting this Mrs. Fang go.

Li Feng was not at all surprised by Tian Wenxin's arrival.

Tian Wenxin took a deep breath and looked up at Li Feng, "My son has now accepted you as his master, and in the future, we will follow your lead."

"And now, with the Fang Family in dire straits, you've seen the few people we have left. We don't even have a place to settle, and with the Zeng family watching us covetously, if we leave here, we'll become their targets."

"Therefore, I'm here to ask the Li Family Head to take us in, we who have lost our family, seeking shelter. I promise that the remaining members of the Fang Family will follow your lead in the future, heeding your instructions."

With these words, Tian Wenxin had decided that the Fang Family would become a vassal under Li Feng.

"Mrs. Fang, have you thought this through? I, Li Feng, am just a lone man, and I can't even beat Zeng Xingtian. Besides, I have no ties with the Sikong family. You were there when the eldest lady spoke, you must have heard."

Li Feng looked at Tian Wenxin.

"Yes, I have discussed it thoroughly with everyone, and carefully considered it. If the Li Family Head is willing to shelter us, the Fang Family is willing to share your fate, in life and death."

Tian Wenxin pledged her loyalty.

She had no other choice. At least choosing Li Feng allowed a favor for her son's apprenticeship. If they left here, the Fang Family would be devoured without a trace in minutes.
