“Sect Leader, you should break the formation first,” Yang Fengxiang urged.
The spiritual field was by now nearly hollowed out. If they didn’t break the formation, Dengyun Peak would really have no spiritual herbs left. Cultivating a batch of spiritual herbs wasn’t an easy task, and countless disciples on Dengyun Peak needed these spiritual herbs.
Fei Yun walked back and forth in front of the formation. There was a troubled expression on his face. He said, “It’s better to wait until they come out. Junior Sister Qianyan’s formation skills are too high, I can’t break this formation.”
He wasn’t lying. He really couldn’t break the formation, unless he used brute force. However, that would make a lot of noise. Besides, he didn’t want to clash with Junior Sister Qianyan.
He would be crazy if he let himself fall out with his junior sister over these idiots.
Chu Chengxi wanted to say something else. However, Fei Yun’s cold eyes frightened him, and he quickly shut up.
In Fei Yun’s presence, he didn’t dare to use harsh language. He could only criticize Qian Yan and position himself as her helpless and extremely weak father.
What he didn’t know was that Fei Yun found him too noisy and had blocked his own senses to avoid hearing him.
If it wasn’t for Fei Yun’s understanding of Qianyan’s affection for her family, he would have dismissed these people without a second thought a long time ago.
Chu Xiaoyue also didn’t dare to speak. She wasn’t very afraid of Chu Qianyan, but she was standing in front of Fei Yun right now. Subconsciously, she knew that he was someone that she shouldn’t provoke.
They waited for an hour until Qian Yan finished harvesting and removed her formation.
“Daidi, how dare you do this!?” Chu Chengxi rushed over and shouted at Qian Yan. “The disciples of Dengyun Peak worked hard to grow those spiritual herbs, and they belong to Pingyu. You should’ve asked Pingyu before you dug them up!”
“And this is after you took Pingyu’s belongings from him! Sect Leader, you must help us. Doesn’t the sect have rules against arbitrarily taking other disciples’ belongings?” Yang Fengxiang wiped away tears, looking very pitiful.
“Junior Sister Qianyan, is this really what happened?” Fei Yun asked in earnest.
Qian Yan could tell he wasn’t blaming her. She even caught a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
Once again, she felt sorry for the original host. There were people many who could help her around her, but she was too dependent on her family, and others couldn’t help her because of it.
“Senior Brother Fei Yun, you’ve misunderstood.” Qian Yan walked over towards them. “You’ve only been dragged into a small family matter.
“We’re all one family. Why can’t we help each other out? Why create unnecessary conflict? As for the matter of these herbs, I’ve already discussed it with my little brother who’s in seclusion,” she explained.
Chu Chengxi yelled, “But Pingyu didn’t agree!”
“My little brother was in seclusion, so he couldn’t agree at that moment. But we’re siblings, so he’ll agree when he wakes up. In any case, I did tell him about it; I didn’t take it without asking him first.
“This small matter has inconvenienced Senior Brother Fei Yun. I’m truly sorry,” she added.
Fei Yun carefully examined Qian Yan. Seeing her now with an open and cheerful countenance, no longer the worried and frowning figure from before, he smiled.
“Since it’s a family matter, I won’t interfere. You can handle it on your own.”
Fei Yun departed on his flying sword, leaving a cloud of dust in the faces of Chu Chengxi and Yang Fengxiang, who chased after him.
Chu Chengxi and his wife wiped the dust from their faces, utterly flabbergasted. He left? Just like that?
Although Chu Xiaoyue was angry, seeing the two of them in such disarray almost made her burst out in laughter. She was afraid of being noticed, so she quickly lowered her head.
“Sect Leader, Sect Leader…!”
The two were still trying to chase after Fei Yun until they heard Chu Xiaoyue say, “Father, Mother, Sister is leaving.”
Sure enough, they turned around to find that Qian Yan, along with her two disciples, had disappeared on their flying swords, leaving them seething with anger.
In mid-air, Qian Yan noticed many onlookers and said, “Disperse and continue your cultivation. It was just some family matters.”
With one statement, she completely blocked her parents’ path to seeking justice. After all, who wanted to meddle in someone else’s family affairs?
