Chapter 1463: Xiao Yao Two Elders
Show mercy to the Xiang family...?!
Jiang Feng could never have imagined that Xiang Tiandong would make such a request of him.
He smirked with even more amusement: "How did you come to say such a thing to me?"
"Jiang Feng, my grandfather is stubborn, but I am not stubborn!"
Xiang Tiandong said from the other side, "I have a premonition that even if the Xiao Yao Two Elders from our family come forward, they may not be your match. The feeling you give me is extremely unsettling! But I don’t know how to stop this, I can only give you a heads-up in advance, hoping you will go easy."
Jiang Feng laughed: "Why don’t you say these things to your grandfather instead?"
"I told him!" Xiang Tiandong said helplessly, "But my grandfather is set in his ways, he doesn’t listen to me! He hasn’t met you, he can’t imagine how terrifying you are, so no matter what I say, he won’t listen. I’m at a loss! I can only ask you..."
Saying this, Xiang Tiandong took a deep breath and continued: "Jiang Feng, I’ll admit, I harbor hatred and intense resentment towards you in my heart. You killed nine elite members of the Xiang family, which was a deep loss to the entire Xiang family, but I have self-awareness; I know you are not someone to be trifled with, so I just want to minimize the bloodshed, stop while we’re ahead... But alas, my voice is too weak to carry weight in the Xiang family."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng chuckled lightly: "Since your grandfather won’t listen to you, then he’ll have to face the consequences of his choice. The words ’forgiveness’ won’t appear in my dictionary anytime soon. If your grandfather wishes to send people to die, then I must oblige. As for this phone call you’re making, to me it’s meaningless."
"No! Jiang Feng!"
Xiang Tiandong became anxious: "As for the Xiao Yao Two Elders, I beseech you to just teach them a lesson, please don’t kill them. If you can promise me this, I’ll owe you a great favor! Anytime you need me to repay it, just say the word, and I’ll go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Jiang Feng snorted: "I don’t care about your favor. Since you still understand to prioritize the Xiang family, and you’re thoughtful enough to persuade me, it’s better for you to persuade the stubborn elders of your family. I am someone who is clear about grudges; if people don’t provoke me, I won’t provoke them. The Xiang family was given the chance, but they failed to grasp it. It’s not my fault."
"No!!! Jiang Feng, listen to me..."
This time, Jiang Feng didn’t wait for Xiang Tiandong to finish speaking and hung up the phone directly.
He could imagine Xiang Tiandong’s frantic and anxious look on the other end, but as the saying goes, expecting him to show mercy and forgive a family is unrealistic; if people provoke me, I will eliminate them completely. That is his true motto.
"Let’s return the same way." Jiang Feng suddenly said to Li Qiang beside him.
Surprised by the words, Li Qiang quickly slowed down the car: "Young Master Feng, aren’t you returning to Binhai?"
"Didn’t you hear? Some people still like to court death. I don’t want these affairs repeatedly disturbing my place of living, dealing with it halfway in the Provincial City is best. Let’s go back."
The original plan was broken, Jiang Feng was helpless, resting his hands on his pillow, lazily speaking.
Li Qiang felt a chill in his heart, knowing Jiang Feng might speak indifferently, but a new round of bloody storms was about to come!
Yet he clearly understood his identity as merely a servant of the Baili Family, in matters like these he neither dared to speak further nor ask more, hence he obediently changed direction, returning to the Provincial City.
...
Meanwhile in the Capital City.
After Jiang Feng hung up on him, Xiang Tiandong was furious, pounding his chest, yet powerless.
He had done his utmost to speak on behalf of the Xiang family to Jiang Feng, but unexpectedly, it still ended this way.
Helpless, he nonetheless had to grit his teeth and go to the back of the old residence, following Xiang Yunshan’s orders.
Behind the old residence, further away than where Xiang Yunshan lived, there stood a gigantic artificial mountain.
Though it was a man-made mountain, its grandeur, altitude, and vegetation all matched those of a real mountain.
Near this place, the environment felt especially secluded, with birds singing and flowers fragrant.
Behind the artificial mountain, there was also a large lake, an artificial one as well, but it was on par with natural lakes, its rippling waters exceptionally deep.
At this moment, anxious Xiang Tiandong arrived in front of the artificial mountain, instinctively first respectfully looking at the lake, then walked straight to the vicinity of the mountain.
"Stop right there! Who from the Xiang family dares to come and disturb us during our retreat?"
Suddenly, a cold and elderly voice came from within the majestic artificial mountain, asking indifferently.
"Lord Fan, I am Xiang Tiandong, a descendant of the Xiang family on my grandfather Xiang Yunshan’s orders, I come to ask the two of you to come forth," Xiang Tiandong respectfully bowed and said helplessly.
"Xiang Tiandong?"
Another cunning elderly voice emerged, then asked expressionlessly: "For what reason?"
"To be honest with you, the family recently encountered a thorny issue that can only be resolved by the two of you coming out, but I think, if either of you simply want to stay in retreat, just tell me, I will go back and report to my grandfather, it’s not a big deal..."
At this point, Xiang Tiandong still held a glimmer of hope, namely that the Xiang family would not fight Jiang Feng to the bitter end!
He was there to inform the Xiao Yao Two Elders due to Xiang Yunshan’s orders, but if either of them didn’t want to come forth, he had reason to say so, wishing he had a suitable excuse, but if they didn’t want to come out, Xiang Yunshan couldn’t force them.
But unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, a crack suddenly appeared in the center of the artificial mountain.
Then, two white-haired and white-bearded elders emerged, one fat, one thin.
The one walking in front was slightly chubby, walked with great pride, dressed in white clothing and white cloth shoes, exuding an aura of a master, precisely Fan Xiao of the Xiao Yao Two Elders.
The elder following behind was slender, dressed in black clothes and black cloth shoes, with sunk eyes, and was Yang Yao of the Xiao Yao Two Elders.
"Xiang Tiandong, the last time we saw you, you were just a sniffling brat, who would have thought time flies and now you’re grown so much."
Fan Xiao approached Xiang Tiandong and stroked his white beard: "What did you just say? The Xiang family encountered trouble, forced my brother and me to come forth? Given the current status of the Xiang family, who would pose such a threat? Could it be that your grandfather forgot Master’s teachings and went off to provoke those first or second-tier families again?"
Indeed, the Xiao Yao Two Elders were not only the two paramount tributors of the Xiang family, but also the two closed-door disciples of the old maestro!
Thus they were willing to guard the Xiang family, and the reason for their retreat within the artificial mountain was to protect their Master!
"Not at all, my grandfather is well aware of the need to keep a low profile, this time he provoked no higher power in the Capital City, but... it was a young man about my age." Xiang Tiandong said with a bitter smile.
"What, did, you, say?!"
On hearing this, both Fan Xiao’s and Yang Yao’s expressions changed!
"A young man?! You’re telling me that for a young man, you’ve summoned my brother and me out?! Have you all forgotten yourselves?!"
