Free Web NovelChapter 267: Chapter 267: If I Want to Leave, Who Can Stop Me?
"Please, show mercy!"
The Second and Fourth Clan Elders also cupped their fists and began to beg for mercy.
"Begging for mercy now?" Jiang Xinghai’s sharp gaze fell upon the Second and Fourth Clan Elders.
He had been determined to kill them, but he stopped at the Five Races Elder’s cry.
"Xinghai, maybe you should listen to my grandfather." Feng Lulu and Lin Liping hurried over with the Five Races Elder.
"Mr. Jiang, Feng Jinsheng is the one who started all this. You can’t blame my second and fourth brothers," the Five Races Elder pleaded, naturally hoping to save his two brothers. "Could you perhaps find it in your heart to spare them?"
Jiang Xinghai sighed softly and looked at the Second and Fourth Clan Elders. "You said you wanted a fight, and I obliged. Now you want to stop, so I’m just supposed to stop?"
"We..."
The Second and Fourth Clan Elders were incredibly embarrassed.
After Jiang Xinghai’s punch had shattered their own fists, they had lost all will to fight.
’His strength has probably already surpassed the Creation Realm.’
"Sever one of your own arms, and you can live."
Jiang Xinghai turned away impassively and looked toward Feng Lulu and Lin Liping.
Behind him, two sharp snaps of breaking bone rang out in succession.
Without a moment’s hesitation, the Second and Fourth Clan Elders both crippled their left arms.
’As long as we can live, that’s enough.’
’Besides, we can always have our arms reattached.’
They both understood this was just Jiang Xinghai’s way of punishing them.
"Let’s go." Feng Lulu linked her left arm through Lin Liping’s and her right through Jiang Xinghai’s.
She now knew the whole truth: Feng Jinsheng was the one behind everything!
"Lulu, this is your home," the Five Races Elder said, trying to console her.
"Grandpa, my mother is dead and my father is missing. I have no reason to stay here." Feng Lulu turned, her face a mask of anguish.
The Five Races Elder wiped away a tear. "But you still have your studies. It would be so much more convenient to live here, and... I want to spend more time with you."
"I’ll live in the school dorms. I’ll come visit you when I have time." Feng Lulu stepped forward and hugged the Five Races Elder.
"Alright," the Five Races Elder said, no longer trying to persuade her, his eyes welling with tears. "If you ever need anything, this will always be your home."
Tonight, the Feng Family had suffered a great upheaval.
"You...!"
Suddenly, Su Wanqing shrieked hysterically, "You killed my husband, so you have a duty to save my daughter! You can’t leave!"
"If I want to leave, who can stop me?"
Jiang Xinghai’s sharp eyes swept across the crowd.
No one dared to make a sound.
Finally, his gaze locked onto Su Wanqing. "Given your threatening tone, the fact that I haven’t killed you is merciful enough. How exactly do you plan to stop me from leaving?"
"Divine Doctor Jiang speaks the truth. It is my kinsmen who have overstepped their bounds."
Suddenly, an old man with an ethereal, sage-like bearing approached, his steps as swift as a whirlwind, closing the distance in an instant.
The Great Clan Elder!
Feng Jinsheng’s father!
"Eldest Brother is out of seclusion!"
The faces of the Second and Fourth Clan Elders lit up with joy, and they rushed to greet him.
The Five Races Elder called out, his brow furrowed with worry, "Eldest Brother, this is all just karmic retribution. There is no right or wrong here. I beg you, be lenient."
"Indeed. Cause and effect. The debt has now been paid."
The Great Clan Elder’s gaze was gentle, holding no hint of murderous intent.
He cupped his fists. "Divine Doctor Jiang, my unfilial son’s death was well-deserved. I beg you, please be merciful and save the life of my granddaughter, Feng Zhuoran."
"Father, is he Jiang Xinghai?" Su Wanqing and the others were finally starting to understand.
The Great Clan Elder nodded.
"’And I’m supposed to save her just because you say so?’ Jiang Xinghai challenged."
"I was being presumptuous."
Slightly embarrassed, the Great Clan Elder pointed to his family’s medicinal garden. "I am willing to offer a Second Grade Spiritual Medicine as payment. If that is not enough, I will add a First Grade Spiritual Medicine."
"’Is this all the Spiritual Medicine the Feng Family has?’ Jiang Xinghai asked, disappointed."
The crowd nearly stumbled over at his words.
’Is that all?’
’That’s a huge amount!’ freēwebnovel.com
Jiang Xinghai suddenly recalled the Spiritual Medicines he had obtained from the Central State Martial Arts Department. ’Come to think of it, there weren’t that many of those, either.’
"Xinghai, my mother’s death had nothing to do with her. The decision is yours," Feng Lulu said, giving Su Wanqing a complicated look.
"’Fine. I’ll save her,’ Jiang Xinghai agreed with a nod."
Everyone let out a collective sigh of relief.
They had been terrified that Jiang Xinghai would refuse, leading to a massive battle with the Great Clan Elder.
"’Divine Doctor Jiang, thank you,’ Su Wanqing said, finally able to relax." freewebnoveℓ.com
"However, before I save your daughter, you must offer a sincere apology to Liping and Lulu. One that satisfies both of them." Jiang Xinghai had no intention of letting Su Wanqing off so easily.
The fact that Feng Lulu and Lin Liping had been forced to live in a storage room infuriated him.
THUD!
Without a moment’s hesitation, Su Wanqing fell to her knees. "Lulu, Liping, I was wrong. I’m willing to accept any punishment you give me."
"’I have only one condition,’ Lin Liping said seriously. ’You must repent at my sister’s grave for three days.’"
"’My condition is that the Feng Family uses all of its resources to find my father, Feng Dong,’ Feng Lulu stated."
Jiang Xinghai added, "Once both of those conditions are met, I will save her."
Su Wanqing fell silent. Kneeling before a grave to repent for three days was a simple matter.
But finding Feng Dong, who had been missing for thirteen years? That was like finding a needle in a haystack!
