Chapter 23: The East Window Incident

  The scene of the Zhibi Conference was still bustling with people, and after Mrs. Liu announced such a blockbuster message, the atmosphere finally reached its peak.

  Of course, Du Fei Yun instantly became the focus of everyone's attention. The eyes of the people of Baishi Town looking at him were filled with admiration and reverence.

  Only fourteen years old, with a cultivation base of nine layers, and profound medical skills that are beyond measure!

  All of this is deeply etched in people's minds. The name Du Feiyun will surely be remembered for a lifetime.

  Standing on the stage, looking at the thousands of eyes around him that were either reverent or worshipful or jealous, Du Feiyun's chest suddenly swelled with pride.

  At this moment, his eyes gazed in the direction of the Du family, and his heart surged.

  "Mother, sister, did you see that? From now on, no one will dare to look down on us again, no one will dare to bully us!"

  ……

  Qin Fu, in a luxurious bedroom.

  An eighteen or nineteen-year-old young man lay on the bed, with two maidservants by his bedside changing his dressing and bandages, the room filled with a foul smell of festering medicine.

  That young man was Qin Shouyi, who had been missing for a month. At this time, he gritted his teeth and endured the pain all over his body, occasionally letting out two muffled hums.

  At the bedside sat a richly dressed woman, sobbing and wiping away tears.

  The door creaked open, and Qin Wannian, with a look of surprise on his face, strode in with Manager Qin. His eyes fell directly on the bed. When he saw Qin Shouyi's miserable appearance, the smile on his face gradually faded away.

  "What's wrong with you, Junyi?"

  Seeing his second son, who had been missing for over a month, finally return home, but with his whole body wrapped in tattered bandages and smeared with medicinal paste, Qin Wannian's face gradually turned cold, with flames of anger flashing in his eyes.

  "Old master, you must avenge the Guardian of Justice! My poor child, every bone in his body is broken, it's really too miserable!"

  The woman in luxurious clothes suddenly grabbed Qin Wannian's sleeve and burst into loud sobs.

  "Shut up!" Qin Wan Nian shouted angrily. The woman was so frightened that she trembled and quickly closed her mouth, not daring to cry out again.

  "Defend your honor, quickly tell Father, what exactly have you encountered this month, who has harmed you like this?"

  Qin Shouyi was now covered in wounds from head to toe, his arms and legs weak and limp on the bed, unable to exert any strength.

  He has now become a boneless, unable to walk soft-bodied animal.

  Upon hearing Qin Wannian's words, Qin Shouyi, who had been as pale as death, slowly opened his eyes. The despair in his gaze gradually faded away, replaced by endless resentment and venom.

  He then moved his lips and recounted the whole story from beginning to end.

  It turned out that when he was originally knocked off the cliff by Du Feiyun, he fell into the Baishi River below and miraculously did not die, but his entire body's muscles and bones were all shattered.

  With only one breath left, he fell into a coma and drifted along the Baishi River to Lancang Town, where he was rescued by a fisherman couple and carefully taken care of for a month.

  Two days ago, he finally woke up from his coma and after understanding his situation, he promised a reward to the fishing couple and begged them to carry him on a stretcher across the hundred-mile mountain road back to the Qin Manor.

  After hearing all this, a loud noise suddenly burst out in the house. Qin Wannian, who was furious, slapped the table to pieces with one palm.

  Qin Wannian, who was on the verge of a rampage, turned his head and said to Qin Er with a fierce expression: "Qin Er, immediately take people to the Du family, bring me Du Qing and her daughter, first lock them up in the mansion, I'll go catch that bastard Du Feiyun myself!"

  Qin Er hastily nodded and quickly ran out of the bedroom to carry out the order.

  With a fierce and murderous aura all over him, Qin Wannian turned around and stepped out of the house, ready to head to the Clan Competition venue to capture Du Feiyun.

  Before leaving, he turned back to Qin Shouyi and said: "Shouyi, you can rest assured to recover from your injuries. Father will go catch that family of scoundrels and avenge you!"

  ……

  The clan comparison conference finally came to a successful end, and the many onlookers also gradually dispersed, still discussing and whispering to each other, pouring out their shock and excitement.

  Today, Du Feiyun's stunning performance at the Zu Bi Conference has caused a sensation in Baishi Town, making him the most dazzling and legendary figure in Baishi Town for centuries.

  At just fourteen years old, he had already cultivated to the ninth level of the Refining Body stage, only one step away from entering the Refining Qi stage.

  Possessing a cultivation speed that is as monstrous as it is terrifying, with immense power and possessing mysterious medical skills that surpass even the great divine doctor Xue.

  Such honors bestowed upon him, Du Fei Yun instantly became an object of worship and awe for all the common people, even though he was just a youth who had not yet come of age, at this moment there was no one who dared to look down on him.

  Mrs. Liu has publicly announced that the Du family will return to the Liu family, and from now on, Du Feiyun will be the focus of cultivation for the Liu family. With the help of the Liu family's powerful background, Du Feiyun's future is boundless.

  The common people gradually dispersed, and the two families of Bai and Qin also retreated in low spirits.

  Before leaving, people from both families still glared at Du Feiyun with anger in their eyes, apparently hating him to the bone.

  Mrs. Liu was supported by Liu Xiangtian to come before Du Feiyun, with a delighted expression on her face, she began to praise and tell Du Feiyun about the joy and shock in her heart.

  Originally, Mrs. Liu had invited Du Feiyun just hoping he could help the Liu family save face a bit, at least not lose too badly or thoroughly.

  But she never thought that Du Feiyun would bring her such a huge surprise, thoroughly defeating the other two families.

  At this moment, Mrs. Liu's excitement can be imagined, she really likes her grandson so much.

  Even Liu Xiangtian, who had always looked down on Du Feiyun, was smiling at this moment and being extremely cordial to him.

  The tribal comparison conference achieved a complete victory, Du Feiyun got the treasure he wanted, changed his previous image, and also gained the respect of the people of Baishi Town.

  The Liu family also made a lot of profit, and the three families will re-distribute some industries and interests next. Just thinking about seeing Bai Yusheng and Qin Wannian's painful expressions next time, the corner of Liu Xiangtian's mouth couldn't help but reveal a hint of a smile.

  Mrs. Liu invited Du Feiyun to return to the Liu residence with her and planned to send someone to pick up Du's mother and daughter, but was politely declined by Du Feiyun.

  Although Mrs. Liu repeatedly persuaded him, Du Feiyun's mind was made up, and after bidding farewell to Mrs. Liu, he headed back home.

  Du Feiyun left alone, and Mrs. Liu and Liu Xiangtian gazed at his back for a long time, seeing him disappear into the crowd before reluctantly turning around to return to the Liu residence.

  Just then, Liu Xiangtian's eyes flickered to Qin Wannian, who had left halfway and was now rushing back with a look of urgency and killing intent on his face.

  Seeing this scene, Liu Xiangtian couldn't help but feel a little pleased and fortunate. The Qin family had always coveted control of the White Stone River, so in this clan comparison meeting, they intended to play the trump card of Qin Shouzheng to gain victory, but unexpectedly, Qin Shouzheng was defeated by Du Feiyun, and their efforts were wasted.

  Although Qin Wannian is Liu Xiangtian's elder brother-in-law, the two have never gotten along. With such a good opportunity to strike him down, Liu Xiangtian will definitely not let it slip by.

  It was then that he saw Qin Wan Nian returning to the scene in a fluster, still searching for something everywhere. Liu Xiang Tian walked up with a smile all over his face.

  He came to Qin Wannian's side and said with a pretended smile, "Ah, Master Qin, you've finally come back. I was worried that you wouldn't dare to return."

  "The younger generation of the Qin family is indeed talented, but unfortunately, Shouzheng's cultivation path was too smooth, so this failure was inevitable. It's good for young people to experience some hardships."

  At these words, Qin Wannian suddenly stopped in his tracks, his face filled with anger as he turned around to glare at Liu Xiangtian, his eyes blazing red as if about to devour someone.

  "This time, I accidentally won the family competition at the Liu's house. To be honest, it's really embarrassing for me. However, regarding the industry and benefit distribution that we agreed upon before the competition, we still need to hand them over now. It just so happens that you can come with me to find Bai Yusheng now."

  Although Liu Xiangtian's tone was feigning embarrassment, the smile on his face was triumphant and didn't have a hint of embarrassment, it was clear that he was intentionally provoking Qin Wannian.

  "Get lost, Liu Xiangtian! I don't have time to waste on you right now!" Qin Wannian cursed viciously and turned around to leave, continuing to search for Du Feiyun's trail in the crowd.

  Scolded by Qin Wannian, Liu Xiangtian's face suddenly changed color, his complexion gradually turning cold. He flashed in front of Qin Wannian and said in a stern tone: "Qin Wannian, do you want to renege on your debt? Alright, since you're so arrogant, come on, let me see what skills you have to be so rampant!"

  As soon as the words fell, Liu Xiangtian's body burst out with a brilliant ice-blue light, and a fierce icy aura exploded, swinging his hand to slap Qin Wannian on the head with an icy palm.

  Qin Wannian did not want to get entangled with Liu Xiangtian, but since Liu Xiangtian made the first move, he had no choice but to make a counterattack.

  The two household heads were similar in age and both had their strength at the second layer of the Qi Refining stage, having fought each other multiple times over the years with neither gaining the upper hand.

  It was as if, in this way, although Qin Wan Nian's anger burned in his heart and he only thought of finding Du Fei Yun, unwilling to entangle with Liu Xiang Tian, yet he was still tightly entwined, unable to escape.
