Chapter 494 - Signs Of A Civil War (2/2)

Ni Yinghong was surprised. “I wasn’t aware that a letter was sent. Please forgive me for being ignorant, senior.”

“Why would I blame you when it’s only a small matter?” Feng Yiyuan waved his hand. He later looked at Ou Yangming with a fierce look in his eyes, but it only lasted for a split second. “Master Ou, did Brother Jingshen tell you anything before you came?”

“What?” Ou Yangming was dazed.

Feng Yiyuan was startled, and he asked in confusion, “Did Brother Jingshen not meet you before this?”

“Senior Feng, after I returned to Changlong County, I waited for Elder Sister Ying and returned and came here right away.” Ou Yangming still looked like he was taken aback. He questioned seriously, “The Humans disaster hasn’t been stopped yet, so how could I take a break?”

“Oh?” Feng Yiyuan was stunned for a while before he replied to the young fellow with a smile, “You’re right.”

Ou Yangming blinked and asked curiously, “Senior Feng, what did Elder Ni tell you?”

Feng Yiyuan stammered and answered with a bitter smile, “Nothing; I was mistaken.”

The young fellow shrugged as though he was unbothered. He conversed with the others for some time and asked for direction before he went to the Governor’s Residence.

Feng Yiyuan and the others did not go with him. Their faces took on grave expressions after Ou Yangming left.

“Brother Feng, is that fella really clueless or is he playing dumb?” Zhong Fengcai asked in a deep voice.

“I think he’s only pretending to not know!” Xiao Hualing sneered.

“Heh, Brother Feng, we have powerful support on our side, so the overall situation won’t be affected even if we don’t have the young fella. How about we continue to carry out our plan and lure Wu Yuanwei here?” Zhong Fengcai spoke in a serious tone.

“Brother Zhong, we mustn’t act recklessly,” Huyan Mao commented, “Ou Yangming alone won’t be an issue for us, but the two spirit beasts that he subdued are a huge variable. If he supports the imperial family, our chance of succeeding is almost zero.”

Zhong Fengcai furrowed his eyebrows and said, “Brother Huyan, don’t you think you’re boosting your enemy’s morale and belittling that of our own?”

“Heh, Brother Zhong, I’m sure you’ve seen the goshawk. Do you think you can go against it?”

“I can’t, but sir can!”

“Fine, but do you know an even more horrifying spirit beast is waiting 5 kilometers away from the city? How are we going to resist the two spirit beasts if they show up at the same time?”

The two of them glared at each other furiously and were not going to give way to each other.

Feng Yiyuan frowned and waved his hand. “Gentlemen, don’t cause internal conflicts before we achieve our goal.”

Upon hearing him, Zhong Fengcai and Huyan Mao smiled embarra.s.sedly and backed away. Feng Yiyuan had an extremely important place in their hearts, hence they dared not quarrel anymore once he spoke.

Xiao Hualing noted after some thought, “Brother Feng, I think Master Ou was right about one thing—we shouldn’t consider other things before the Humans’ disaster ends.”

“Yes, no matter which side Master Ou is on, we should only consider that after the disaster is put to an end.” Feng Yiyuan nodded but added after a short while, “But we should also plan ahead.”

He turned to look at the others and said, “Brother Huyan, try to get more acquainted with him and tell him about sir bit by bit. I believe he’ll make up his mind after he witnesses sir’s ability.”

“Yes,” Huyan Mao responded with a smile, “You can count on me for this, and I won’t disappoint you for sure.”

Zhong Fengcai smiled coldly and asked, “Brother Feng, if Master Ou is unappreciative and insists on protecting the imperial family, what should we do when he goes against the 8 of our clans?”

Feng Yiyuan smiled faintly. “The Wu family has dominated this world for far too long. Given that the eight lines of inheritance from the upper realm have joined hands, the restoration of the previous regime is bound to happen, and it’s only going to be a matter of time. Heh, anyone that tries to stop it from happening will only be eliminated, so you don’t need to worry about it.”

“Brother Feng, you’ve worked out a brilliant plan that will a.s.sure our victory! I’m willing to follow your lead.” Zhong Fengcai raised his eyebrows and laughed.

Xiao Hualing and Huyan Mao looked at each other and cursed internally.

‘Kiss-*ss! You won’t end well!’
