Then there was Feng Wu’s voice. “Aren’t you afraid that Northern Feng Mansion will take revenge for me?!”Xuanyuan Ying’s voice rang out. “Hahahaha! Northern Feng Mansion? Lady Northern Feng really is an arrogant character, but after your reputation is ruined, do you think she’ll still want you as a daughter? I’d worry about yourself if I were you. Hahahaha —”

–

This yellow parrot was spectacular!

Not only did it have an amazing memory, its ability to imitate others made one want to slap a table and say bravo.

It could mimic voices as well as facial expressions!

It imitated Xuanyuan Ying’s breathing, expressions, and manner of speaking to a tee! The resemblance was almost frightening!

If that wasn’t proof, then what was?

Lady Northern Feng flared up. “Xuanyuan Ying! You’ve been lying through your teeth! We almost believed you!”

Seeing that her lie had been exposed, Xuanyuan Ying turned to flee.

But it was too late for that now.

Lady Northern Feng’s guards weren’t paid for their good looks. Two men blocked Xuanyuan Ying’s way, ensuring that she wasn’t going anywhere.

Then, Lady Northern Feng rushed over and reached out to grab Xuanyuan Ying, dragging the latter over to her side.

Lady Northern Feng was merciless when she took action. She started beating Xuanyuan Ying up right away.

The others watched with open mouths.

Families like theirs never punished their daughters the way Lady Northern Feng was doing. Their most severe punishment was to lock the girls up and make them transcribe Buddhist scriptures. A beating like this was unheard of.

However —

People of the Xuanyuan family didn’t dare utter a word as the lady threw punches at Xuanyuan Ying.

After all, what Xuanyuan Ying had done was beyond shameless.

The beating alone wasn’t going to be enough. They knew that Lady Northern Feng would be demanding more later.

Feng Wu calculated the time and realized that those two people should be overwhelmed by their passion by now.

At that thought, Feng Wu struggled to her feet and left Feng Xun’s arms. She went up to the lady. “Mother, please stop. You’ll hurt your hands —”

“Hmph!” Lady Northern Feng swept her hand through the air in vexation, throwing Xuanyuan Ying at the wall of the secret room.

Well —

Feng Wu had chosen her spot after careful calculation.

And she tampered with the angle and the speed at which Xuanyuan Ying flew out.

Because only by doing that could she ensure that they would see an even better show next.

What a waste of this big crowd if she didn’t show them something sensational.

Thud!

Xuanyuan Ying slammed into the wall, and soon, there was a rumbling sound.

Lady Northern Feng was so strong!

Everyone wondered if Xuanyuan Ying had been injured by that throw.

They were still wondering, when they heard a click.

The door opened, and the secret room started moving all of a sudden as it began to rotate on the spot!

No one noticed how livid Old Master Xuanyuan’s face had become.

Click —

The secret room rotated 180 degrees so that the small, empty room which Feng Wu had been in earlier moved to the back. The other side that had been in the dark was now facing the crowd.

Only that —

When they realized what they were seeing, everyone’s eyes opened so wide that their eyeballs popped.

Holy sh*t!

They couldn’t believe their eyes!

The door to this secret room was wide open, and inside, two naked bodies were intertwined and busy with each other.

The positions, the motions, the sounds… It was so stimulating that everyone blushed and looked away.

Someone said all of a sudden, “Isn’t this the old master’s treasure room?”

Had the old master hidden something here?!

Old Master Xuanyuan himself was blushing!How was he supposed to know what was going on?

However, his biggest concern at the moment wasn’t who was doing what inside, but if his treasure was still safe inside.

He rushed into the room in vexation and kicked the people out before he saw their faces.

The two bodies were still intertwined in mid-air and wouldn’t part from each other.

However, the impact of the fall forced them to separate.

But —

When they saw who the two people were —

“Ahhh!!!”

“Ahhh!!!”

“Ahhh —”

People screamed, cried out, and drew in their breaths!

It was horrible!

The scene made all eyes widen and left everyone speechless, their mouths agape.

Lady Northern Feng was equally amazed. “Isn’t this Lady Cai?”

She was right —

The heroine of the incident and the naked woman lying on the ground was none other than Lady Cai herself.

As for her male partner, it was —

“Zuo Qingliu!”

Someone cried out his name.

Yes, the hero of the story was the second son of the Zuo family, the womanizer.

“Oh god! It’s the second young master of the Zuo family…”

“Lady Cai and Young Master Zuo the Second…”

“They’re not even of the same generation!”

“Lady Cai is the wife of the oldest son of the Xuanyuan family!”

“And today is Old Master Xuanyuan’s birthday party. They couldn’t wait?”

“Not to mention that they were doing it in the old master’s treasure room. That’s so…”

“No wonder we couldn’t find Lady Cai anywhere earlier. She was…”

“Oh god, I need to unsee that! How horrible!”

As soon as they recognized Lady Cai and Zuo Qingliu, Xuanyuan Yi and Zuo Qingyu removed their outer robes and threw them over the two bodies.

Xuanyuan Ze was the most shocked person of them all!

And the most humiliated, for that matter…

Xuanyuan Ze’s face was darker than a stormy sky!

Not only did a roomful of people see his wife cheating, she was doing it with a man of a younger generation, who was the son of a close friend!

“Ah!”

Infuriated, Xuanyuan Ze rushed over and tried to throttle Zuo Qingliu.

He moved so fast!

The others didn’t have time to react.

“Ahhh —”

Zuo Qingliu, who had finally come back to his senses, was still bewildered. He then had to face the fear of death.

“Let go of my brother! Let go of him!” Zuo Qingyu screamed. “Help! Please help me!”

So many people were watching, and they couldn’t just let Zuo Qingliu die like this.

Hence, they all rushed over and dragged Xuanyuan Ze away.

Zuo Qingliu’s face had turned a bluish purple color and he was barely breathing. Feng Wu crouched down next to him and checked his breathing.

“He’s dying and needs medical care.” As she spoke, Feng Wu started working on him with her golden needles.

Feng Wu had taken action because she had to keep Zuo Qingliu unconscious. Otherwise, if he woke up and ranted that he had planned to rape Feng Wu, she would become part of this scandal.

And Feng Wu wasn’t going to let that happen.

“What are you doing?!” Zuo Qingyu stared at Feng Wu, alarmed.

Feng Wu shrugged. “Is that how you treat a good samaritan? If it isn’t for me, Zuo Qingliu would be dead by now.”

Zuo Qingyu said, “But he’s…”

Feng Wu said, “You’ll have to ask Master Xuanyuan, then. But if you ask me, Zuo Qingliu will wake up in a few hours.”Zuo Qingyu stared at Feng Wu. “Since when are you so kind?”

Feng Wu said, “It’s not like you’ve tried to harm me or anything. Why should I hold a grudge against you? Or have you tried to harm me…”

Zuo Qingyu glared at Feng Wu. “You’re imagining things!”

After that, Zuo Qingyu threw Zuo Qingliu over her shoulder and fled the scene, taking advantage of the chaos.

Otherwise, Zuo Qingliu would surely be killed after the Xuanyuan family realized what had happened.

Seeing that he couldn’t kill Zuo Qingliu, Xuanyuan Ze took out a dagger and tried to stab Lady Cai in the chest.

“Father! No —” Of course Xuanyuan Ying wouldn’t watch her mother get killed, not to mention that she had been the mastermind behind this scheme.

Xuanyuan Ying’s shriek drew all attention to Lady Cai, making it impossible for Xuanyuan Ze to kill her.

Just then, furious bellows came from inside the room.

There was then the sound of shelves being overturned and shattered.

What was going on?

Everyone was baffled.

Feng Wu was the only one in the crowd who knew what was going on.

She had taken all ten items that Old Master Xuanyuan kept there as his treasures.

Then, Old Master Xuanyuan rushed out of the room and bellowed, “No one leaves!”

His voice was like a thunderclap exploding over the crowd!

Everyone felt their ears buzz, and the pain was so piercing that they felt like their ears were bleeding!

“Dad, what happened?” Xuanyuan Yu looked startled.

Old Master Xuanyuan was very sensitive about his reputation, and all the guests here for his birthday party were from influential families.

The old man had lost his senses and was in a frantic state.

Those were some of his most prized possessions!

As the saying went, a clever rabbit had three burrows. He didn’t put all his eggs in the same basket, but the treasures here consisted of at least a third of what he had accumulated throughout his life!

He was being driven mad!

Seeing how crazed Old Master Xuanyuan looked, Feng Wu realized how precious the ten items she had taken were.

The next moment —

Xuanyuan stared at Feng Wu!

He then marched toward her!

Feng Xun blocked his way and glared at the old man. “What are you doing?”

The old man was still in a rage and didn’t care who Feng Xun was.

He swept his hand through the air, exerting a wave of energy that reminded one of a gigantic tide!

Feng Xun was a capable cultivator himself, but he couldn’t withstand even a single strike from the old man!

He flew backward.

The next second, Lady Northern Feng shielded Feng Wu with her own body.

Right now, Old Master Xuanyuan had bloodshot eyes and smoke coming out of his nostrils. He stared at Feng Wu as if she was his ultimate enemy!

Lady Northern Feng glared at the old man and warned him in a cold voice, “No matter what happened, Old Master, I’d like you to calm down!”

All eighteen knights of Northern Feng Mansion lined up in front of Lady Northern Feng.

Their attitude couldn’t be any more straightforward.

Anyone who tried to lay a finger on Lady Northern Feng would have to do so over their dead bodies!

In a normal situation, Old Master Xuanyuan wouldn’t be so frantic. But this wasn’t just any situation.

Of the ten items that were missing from the treasure room, the Bright Dragon Soil was only important enough for him to feel a little sorry.

As for the martial arts manuals of the Xuanyuan family, he had memorized them all.

But one of the treasures was more important than his life!That was why Old Master Xuanyuan had such a frantic reaction!

The old man struck out right away!

Thump! Thump! Thump!

The eighteen knights were all mighty cultivators.

But the Xuanyuan family wasn’t without powerful cultivators. On the contrary, they had more of those than one could count. For instance —

All eighteen elders who had been hiding in the dark jumped out of their hiding places.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Fighting broke out everywhere.

What a chaotic scene —

Seeing that things were getting messy, the onlookers all turned to leave.

However, Old Master Xuanyuan bellowed, “No on leaves! Xuanyuan Yu, close off the passageway! Kill anyone who tries to leave!”

Those were some very harsh words!

What on earth was going on here?

The guests exchanged looks and everyone looked confused and terrified.

The eighteen elders and eighteen knights of Northern Feng Mansion fought in the air, and neither side could get the upper hand.

Old Master Xuanyuan, on the other hand, went directly for Feng Wu.

Lady Northern Feng stood ramrod straight in front of Feng Wu like a mother hen guarding its chick.

She was furious. “Don’t you dare touch my Xiao Wu! Over my dead body!”

Old Master Xuanyuan’s bloodshot eyes couldn’t see anything else. With a wave of his hand, Lady Northern Feng was brushed aside.

Lady Northern Feng couldn’t stop stumbling forward at the impact. Luckily, Granny Tao reacted quickly and caught her in time, preventing her from suffering any injury.

Meanwhile, Old Master Xuanyuan was staring at Feng Wu with his cold eyes, and he reached out with his strong right arm.

He opened his hand and wrapped it around Feng Wu’s thin, fair neck with a vise-like grip.

“Hm —”

Feng Wu was lifted off the ground until her feet dangled in the air.

This was so dangerous!

Instantly, Feng Wu realized that her air was cut off. She couldn’t breathe.

She was being suffocated.

Instinctively, Feng Wu’s legs kicked around. Her face turned a bluish purple color and her pupils began to dilate…

Lady Northern Feng was sick with worry!

She ran up to the old man in a frantic state. “Put her down! Put her down now! You’re going to kill her!”

Old Master Xuanyuan stared at Feng Wu and bellowed, “Speak! Where did you hide them?!”

By then, Xuanyuan Yi had rushed into the inner room, and he ran out with a look of disbelief on his face.

“It’s gone… All the treasure inside is gone…”

His grandfather had shown the room to him before, telling him that everything inside would be his one day. But just like that, they were all gone.

“Cough —”

Feng Wu wanted to speak, but no air would enter her lungs. She pointed at her mouth, indicating that she wanted to say something.

The old man snorted, then tossed Feng Wu onto the ground. He said furiously, “Spill!”

“Cough, cough —” Feng Wu coughed violently and gasped for air.

Rushing over, Lady Northern Feng wrapped her arms around Feng Wu, feeling so sorry for the girl. She then shot a warning glance at the old man. “This isn’t over! Northern Feng Mansion will get to the bottom of this!”

The Old Master wouldn’t even glance at Lady Northern Feng. He kept his gaze on Feng Wu.

Feng Wu knew that she couldn’t reveal anything about the treasure, or there would be consequences.

“Speak!” Old Master Xuanyuan bellowed.

Feng Wu lay in Lady Northern Feng’s arms, but kept her gaze on the old man. With a pale face, she asked weakly, “I don’t know what to tell you.”

The old man said, “Where did you hide all the treasure that was in that room? Speak!”

Feng Wu only looked more bewildered and innocent. “Was there something in the room?”Old Master Xuanyuan was even more furious.Feng Wu said, “The room I was in was empty. Apart from myself, there was nothing in it.”

Old Master Xuanyuan narrowed his eyes in a threatening manner.

Feng Xun snorted. “Old Master, can’t you see for yourself? Xiao Wu was locked inside the room and couldn’t get out. If she could, she wouldn’t need to cut herself to neutralize the poison by bleeding out.”

That was right —

The others nodded. The old man’s treasures had been stolen, but it couldn’t have been Feng Wu who did it, for even if she had, she didn’t have any place to hide them.

Staring at Lady Cai, Feng Xun snorted. “Old Master, Lady Cai and Zuo Qingliu had free access to your treasure room. Don’t you think that those two are the ones you should ask?”

He was right…

Only then was everyone struck with realization!

The secret room Feng Wu had been in was obviously a fake one, and the one Lady Cai had come out of was the real treasure room.

Old Master Xuanyuan looked bewildered. Only then did he realize that was the case. However, when he looked up —

“Where’s Zuo Qingliu?” The old man’s face darkened and he narrowed his eyes.

“He’s gone. I saw Zuo Qingyu carry him off as soon as she had the chance.”

Someone in the crowd spoke loudly.

Old Master Xuanyuan darted a glance at the elders.

With a whoosh, the elders disappeared from the crowd right away.

However —

“Although they are my prime suspects, that doesn’t mean that you’re innocent. Search them!” Old Master Xuanyuan bellowed.

Naturally, the guests didn’t like it, but Old Master Xuanyuan was acting like a madman, and there was nothing they could do to fight back.

However, with what happened, everyone now knew how the Xuanyuan family dealt with other people.

From then on, they naturally became distant from the Xuanyuan family.

As for Lady Cai —

Old Master Xuanyuan warned that if word got out and they discovered the person who leaked the news, the Xuanyuan family would do everything they could to kill them!

That severe warning frightened a lot of people, and it went without saying that not many people would gossip about it.

However, ambiguous rumors were bound to get around, but that wasn’t until a while later.

The Xuanyuan family searched everyone, but —

They couldn’t find anything.

In the end, Old Master Xuanyuan turned his gaze on Feng Wu again.
