Chapter 005: Good people are often taken advantage of
In response to this, although Long Feitian felt angry, as a newcomer, he did not dare to express it openly and could only manage a bitter smile. Even though he had only stayed in the Long residence for one day, he truly experienced the awkward position that Miao Fengyi and her son had previously endured.
Long Feitian smiled awkwardly. Just now, seeing that fierce woman was so detestable, he thought of teaching her a lesson. Although his move was quite discreet, he did not expect that it would still be discovered by Miao Fengyi.
The bone is completely fractured; if it weren't for my ancestral ointment, it would likely take three to five years to fully recover. The old man nodded in agreement
Long Feitian wandered around the Dragon Mansion for a while, only to realize that he had no idea where the library was located. He felt it would be inappropriate to go back and ask, so he steeled himself and inquired of a passing maid in green, "May I ask where the library is?"
Thank you, Mother, I will go now. Long Feitian stood up, bowed to Miao Fengyi, and turned to walk outside
I suppose not being able to cultivate is also a significant reason!" Long Feitian suddenly interjected, while he also recalled the meal he had just eaten
"This is not your fault," Miao Fengyi shook her head and said, "If anyone is to be blamed, it can only be me for being useless"
Looking at the arrogant back of the maid beside the book, Long Feitian suddenly experienced a kind of illusion, as if she were the young lady of the Long residence, while he himself was a servant
The maid in blue turned her head to glance at Long Feitian, her face filled with disdain, and her voice brimming with sarcasm: "You are the young master, yet you do not know; how would a servant like me know!" After saying this, she ignored Long Feitian and turned to leave.
After all, Third Aunt had scolded Miao Fengyi first. Regardless of how she usually suppressed her in secret, that was all done behind her back. On the surface, she was still the mistress of the Long family, and Long Feitian was also the young master of the Long family. No matter how much Third Aunt was valued by him, she was merely a servant.
Upon hearing this, Long Xing's expression changed slightly as he looked at Long Lixin and said in an undeniable tone: "I will handle the matter regarding Third Aunt myself; you must not provoke that woman."
Although San Gu is also a servant of the Long family, her status is elevated because she is the wet nurse of Long Lixin. Moreover, due to the strong bloodline of the Long Lixin family, practicing the family’s cultivation techniques yields exceptional results, earning her the reputation of being the genius of this generation of the Long family. She is deeply favored by the elders of the family, and naturally, San Gu's status has risen accordingly, even to the extent that she has her own separate courtyard for residence
As soon as the old man with the illustrated book left, Long Lixin emerged from the room. At that moment, his face was contorted, and his eyes were bloodshot, resembling a wild beast. "I will make whoever harmed the wet nurse suffer a thousand cuts, no matter who it is."
Is it that serious? Long Xingcheng's already grim expression grew even darker, resembling the ominous clouds in the sky. Although San Gu was a shrew, Long Xingcheng was still very grateful to her. It is worth noting that Long Lixin's mother died during childbirth due to complications. Over the years, he has been busy managing the family and has not remarried. Without San Gu's attentive care, Long Lixin would likely have met an untimely end.
Feeling the piercing gaze of Long Xingcheng, Long Lixin's body trembled slightly, and he quickly replied, "Yes."
The relationship between master and servant must be clearly defined, which is a rule that every family must adhere to. Regardless of how much a servant is valued by the master, they remain a servant
After a while, Miao Fengyi finally smiled and said, "The energy you possess is the battle aura of a martial artist; I noticed it when you kicked San Gu just now." Although her expression was calm, her tone was filled with surprise
Watching Long Feitian's distant figure fade away, Miao Fengyi's smile, which had been as warm as a picture book, gradually disappeared, replaced by a trace of sorrow. After a long while, she sighed and said, "My unfortunate son, it is your mother who has harmed you." In her words, a sharp glint of murderous intent flashed in her eyes.
After a moment, an elderly man with white hair and beard emerged from the house and approached Long Xingcheng. Without waiting for him to speak, Long Xingcheng coldly asked, "What is the situation?"
Regarding the incident involving the injury to San Gu, although Long Xing was filled with immense anger, he did not immediately seek out Miao Fengyi, as he understood that doing so would be of no help and would only lead to further humiliation.
Upon hearing this, Miao Fengyi fixed her gaze on Long Feitian with a beaming smile, causing Long Feitian to feel a surge of panic within. He lacked the courage to even look at her, fearing that his identity as a false son would be exposed
I apologize for troubling you, sir. If you need anything, please have the steward fetch it. It is imperative to ensure that Aunt San's leg is treated properly. Long Xingcheng's politeness startled the old man, who hurriedly replied, "Second Master, you are too kind; these are all part of my duties."
Long Lixin lost his mother at a young age, and it was his aunt who raised him. His aunt treated him exceptionally well, as if he were her own child. In Long Lixin's eyes, his aunt was even closer to him than his mother. Listening to his aunt's anguished wails, his heart felt as if it were being cut by a knife
It must be that vile woman Miao Fengyi, she was present at the time, and Aunt San even confronted her. With her capabilities, even if she acted secretly, those ordinary people present would find it hard to notice. Long Lixin's voice was chilling, like a demon roaring, "That damned vile woman, how could she make Aunt San suffer so terribly? I will crush her bones bit by bit, making her endure endless torment"
After all, Long Feitian just mentioned that when he woke up, he discovered this energy within him, so he certainly did not know what had happened before.
After chatting for a few more moments, Miao Fengyi suddenly said to Long Feitian: "You are now able to cultivate, so you must work hard in the future and never be negligent. In this continent, strength is the fundamental factor that determines everything. Additionally, you can visit the family library; there are many cultivation insights from our predecessors that will greatly assist you in your practice."
No one could have predicted such a thing, so how can we blame Mother? Long Feitian shook his head, hesitated for a moment, and mustered his courage to say: Mother, after I woke up in the cave, I discovered that there was a surge of energy within me, but I do not know what it is.
Although I do not know what has happened to you in the past half month, based on the intensity of the battle energy you just used, you should have already reached the level of five-star martial power. Although Miao Fengyi was quite shocked that her son could suddenly cultivate and had reached five-star battle power in such a short time, she did not ask further questions.
"From today onwards, my son will no longer be a useless person," Miao Fengyi thought to herself
At this moment, in the courtyard where the three aunts resided, Long Xingcheng stood here with a gloomy expression, the continuous and piercing screams in his ears making him feel exceptionally agitated
The grudge of the Third Aunt must be avenged. Long Xing furrowed his brow and said, This matter is quite puzzling; Long Feitian and Tong Xiang have never practiced cultivation. Logically speaking, even if they exerted all their strength, it would be impossible for them to injure the Third Aunt so severely.
Perhaps this is what it means to be kind and be taken advantage of by others
Although she did not know how her son became capable of cultivation, the fact that her son could cultivate was undoubtedly a tremendous joy for her as a mother
The old man's expression was grave as he said, "The leg bone of the third aunt is broken. Although it can be reconnected, it is likely to take at least one or two years for a full recovery"
