Feng Ninghe ignored him, letting him howl behind her as she strode away.
"Feng Ninghe!"
Di Wenbin let out a low growl, wanting to get up and chase after the receding figure.
But as soon as he stood up, his chest ached unbearably, forcing him to stop.
Wang Junzhao was equally enraged, grumbling indignantly, "Senior Brother Di, Feng Ninghe is so rude. The Feng family must give us an explanation!"
Di Wenbin nodded heavily, his fists already clenched...

Si Xinxin returned to the residence, skipping with a heart full of joy.
Axi had not been idle; he immediately reported all of Si Xinxin's movements.
Upon hearing about Si Xinxin's private actions, Si Jianye curved his lips, a hint of amusement in his eyes: "I knew she wouldn't be content."
This child had always disliked Feng Qingcheng, so how could she have willingly agreed to go out with Feng Qingcheng? She must have been plotting something.
Recalling what had just happened, Axi couldn't help but click his tongue and whisper, "Feng Qingcheng is really unlucky..."
The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
Feng Qingcheng's face was grim as she strode towards the house.
If Si Xinxin were not Si Jianye's daughter, she would have personally torn the ill-behaved little girl to shreds.
Feng Qingcheng's return also caused much discussion.
"Did you hear that the second young lady was dancing in the opera house, performing for everyone, and her clothes were almost burned off by fire!"
"I also heard that the second young lady jumped into a pond to pick a flower, and her clothes got soaked, revealing her graceful figure for everyone to see~"
"What a pity I wasn't there. I really wanted to see with my own eyes how the proud second young lady sang and danced on stage, and how she turned into a wet beauty..."
For the Feng family members, stirring up trouble was never too much, so they constantly gossiped in secret.
The second young lady of the Feng family was young but possessed profound cultivation and a delicate face.
Such a talented and beautiful woman was hard to find elsewhere in the Li Kingdom.
Such an outstanding woman, yet performing as a "wet beauty" in broad daylight, also caused a stir among the cultivators of the Li Kingdom.
*Bang!*
The door was kicked open.
Zhang Shi rushed in, her meticulously applied makeup marred by anxiety: "Qingcheng, there are rumors about you all over Li City now. What is going on?"
Feng Tongtong had already lost her reputation. Feng Qingcheng absolutely could not afford to have an accident.
Feng Qingcheng raised her delicate eyebrows, biting her ruby-red lips, her expression grim: "These gossiping wretches, these rumors are naturally false. I am the second young lady of the Feng family, the most outstanding disciple of the Immortal Sect. My status is noble, how can they discuss me so carelessly!"
She did not want to recall such embarrassing events, let alone admit to them.
Zhang Shi instantly breathed a sigh of relief, a gentle smile appearing on her cheeks: "Qingcheng, you are your mother's pride. The Feng family relies on you."
"Second Young Lady."
A maidservant hurried in and quickly announced, "The two disciples from the Immortal Sect said they want to see you. It seems they were beaten by the eldest young lady."
Zhang Shi's eyes widened, as if she had heard something unbelievable. Her sharp voice was filled with urgency: "What? Feng Ninghe has the audacity to attack disciples of the Immortal Sect?"
Di Wenbin was the only son of the Immortal Sect's sect leader. He absolutely could not be offended.
The maidservant did not know the full story and dared not say more: "This is all I know. For the specifics, you'll have to ask the two Immortal Sect disciples."
Feng Qingcheng's gaze deepened, a few glints of light dancing in her eyes: "Let them in."
After the maidservant retreated, Wang Junzhao and Di Wenbin entered the room.
Their faces were distressed, and they spoke in unison: "Sister Qingcheng!"
Feng Qingcheng's gaze fell upon the two before her, and she asked softly, "The maidservant just said Feng Ninghe attacked you. What exactly happened?"
Wang Junzhao spoke first: "I wanted to spar with her, but I didn't expect her to send me flying with a palm strike. Senior Brother Di was also sent flying by her palm strike while protecting me!"
"This Feng Ninghe is truly ill-mannered. How can such a large family like the Feng family be managed by her?" Zhang Shi grumbled, her gaze shifting as her thoughts raced.
If they could seize this opportunity to remove Feng Ninghe from her position as acting head of the family and regain control of the Feng family, that would be ideal.
Feng Qingcheng looked at the two before her with feigned seriousness and said softly, "Don't worry, I will definitely make her give you a reasonable explanation. You are honored guests of my Feng family, and she absolutely cannot be allowed to be so presumptuous."
As Feng Ninghe stepped into the mansion, she saw Feng Tongtong gloating.
"Feng Ninghe, how dare you arbitrarily attack the disciples of the Immortal Sect! If the Immortal Sect blames us, won't it implicate the entire Feng family?"
Feng Tongtong reprimanded coldly, her beautiful eyes, visible outside her veil, laced with cunning.
Seeing this woman bouncing in front of her, Feng Ninghe raised her eyebrows subconsciously, her expression unchanged: "What do you want to say?"
She didn't believe Feng Tongtong had appeared just to mock her.
Xiao Zhao clenched his small fists, his sapphire eyes looking at Feng Tongtong with a hint of vigilance.
*Master, calamities linger for millennia. This wicked Feng Tongtong is already like this, what other scheme is she plotting?*
Xiao Zhao had no good feelings for Feng Tongtong and was even more annoyed by her.
Feng Tongtong tilted her head arrogantly and pointed towards the main hall: "You openly attacked two disciples of the Immortal Sect. This matter cannot be easily dismissed! Several elders are waiting for you in the main hall."
Di Wenbin was the only son of the Immortal Sect's sect leader. With this identity, the elders of the Feng family naturally dared not be negligent.
The small Feng family was far inferior to the Immortal Sect, and no one dared to offend the Immortal Sect.
After speaking, Feng Tongtong strode forward, occasionally looking back to see if Feng Ninghe was following.
Xiao Zhao's lips moved slightly with vigilance, and he whispered a reminder.
*Master, it seems they have set a trap for you to fall into. We must be careful to avoid harm.*
Feng Ninghe smiled and looked straight ahead, her eyes slightly cold.
Di Wenbin and Wang Junzhao had already been incited by Feng Qingcheng. These two harbored great hostility towards her. If she backed down today, these people would only press their advantage.
The main hall was filled with people.
The two Immortal Sect disciples' faces were contorted with anger, clearly displeased.
Feng Ninghe's arrival instantly drew everyone's attention. She rarely saw Old Man Xu sitting to the side.
"Ninghe, sit here."
Old Man Xu saw her at a glance and beckoned to her.
After Feng Ninghe sat down, she spoke in a volume only the two of them could hear: "Why are you here too?"
In the past, Old Man Xu usually didn't like to get involved in such scenes, but it was also possible he was here to join the fun.
Old Man Xu took a sip of his tea: "Naturally, I'm here to support you."
These simple words made Feng Ninghe raise her eyebrows: "Are you sure you're not here to join the fun?"
The Immortal Sect would never take Old Man Xu seriously, and his support would be of no use.
In the Li Kingdom, Old Man Xu was a sought-after figure, but in Jinling, where Nascent Soul cultivators were everywhere and alchemists were as common as clouds, he was far from being comparable to the Li Kingdom.
