Chapter 528: Let her come see me!

Hearing Jiang Feng's words, Linghu Xue's expression became somewhat strange.

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but the words reached her lips and she swallowed them back.

Actually, she didn't know much about Linghu Xing and Guo Hua. She only knew that back then Linghu Xing left the family for Jiangnan, later gave birth to a daughter, and later was brought back to the family.

As for what happened in between, how Guo Hua died, and how Su Xueyan was left in the Su Family, she knew nothing.

But she also clearly understood that as a woman of the Linghu Family, marriage was never something they could choose freely.

The women of the Linghu Family either marry into families of equal standing or enter the Imperial Family; this is the rule, the iron law, unchanged since the day the Linghu Family became a top-tier clan.

As for Aunt Linghu Xing, she is one of the family's top talents in a hundred years; her husband could never possibly come from just a minor Su Family in Jiangnan!

How could a commoner's child, a soldier serving in the capital, be worthy of the Linghu Family's genius?

Thinking of this, Linghu Xue also felt somewhat helpless.

If it weren't for Linghu Xing's condition needing Su Xueyan, Su Xueyan would indeed not have been accepted by the Linghu Family.

On this point, Linghu Xue also knew she could not refute Jiang Feng's words.

Unable to win with words or force, Linghu Xue felt this trip was an utter defeat.

From childhood, everything she did went smoothly; she had never encountered such a setback.

But today, before Jiang Feng, she was utterly defeated.

Linghu Xue took a deep breath, suppressed her complex emotions, and coldly reminded Jiang Feng.

"No matter what, you alone cannot protect Su Xueyan."

She paused, her tone turning even colder.

"Indeed, Rui Country is no longer under our Linghu Family's control, but if the Linghu Family seeks a person, she cannot escape. You can protect her for a moment, but not for a lifetime."

Having said that, Linghu Xue turned and was about to leave.

She didn't want to stay here any longer; the longer she stayed, the more oppressed she felt.

But at that moment, Jiang Feng blocked her.

Linghu Xue stopped, looking at Jiang Feng, her eyes guarded.

Jiang Feng looked at her, his gaze icy, but his tone calm.

"We can make a deal."

Hearing this, Linghu Xue's face lit up and her eyes brightened.

"Have you come to your senses?"

She had thought Jiang Feng was about to reveal Su Xueyan's whereabouts.

But Jiang Feng shook his head and then said.

"I want you to never disturb Su Xueyan again."

As soon as he said that, Linghu Xue's face changed and she immediately replied.

"Impossible! Aunt Xing's illness is still waiting for Su Xueyan to treat!"

Her voice was loud, with a hint of urgency.

Linghu Xing is a genius rare in a hundred years for the Linghu Family, the family's future hope.

If something happens to her, the Linghu Family's strength would at least retreat twenty years.

The family could never abandon her, absolutely not.

Jiang Feng looked at her and said lightly.

"I can help Linghu Xing, resolve the issues with her cultivation method."

Linghu Xue was stunned.

She widened her eyes at Jiang Feng, as if hearing something unbelievable.

"You? Help Aunt Xing resolve her cultivation problems?"

Her voice was full of doubt.

"Do you know what realm Aunt Xing is in? Half-step Martial Ancestor! Can you help her resolve her cultivation problems?"

Linghu Xue's tone carried a hint of mockery, but mostly disbelief.

Jiang Feng's face remained calm, showing no anger.

"For a Half-step Martial Ancestor's cultivation issues, to me it's nothing."

Linghu Xue's mouth hung open, not knowing what to say for a moment.

She recalled the terrifying pressure just now, and her own despair at being unable to resist.

Perhaps what he said is true?

Perhaps he really has the ability to help Aunt Xing solve the problem?

Linghu Xue's heart began to waver.

But she remained cautious and asked.

"What makes you think I should believe you?"

Jiang Feng said lightly.

"You can choose not to believe. But then we'll see how long Linghu Xing can hold on."

Linghu Xue's face turned a little paler.

She knew that Aunt Xing's condition was indeed not good; each day delayed increased the danger by a point.

Many in the family were already worried, fearing she might not make it through the year.

If there were a solution, even trying it would be worthwhile.

Linghu Xue remained silent for a long time, then raised her head and looked at Jiang Feng.

"If you deceive me, the Linghu Family will not let you go."

Jiang Feng looked at her and said lightly.

If you agree to my condition, the Linghu family will never disturb Xue Yan, and I can help Linghu Xing.

Linghu Xue gritted her teeth and said.

I can't decide this matter; I need to go back and ask the family.

Jiang Feng nodded.

Sure, I'll wait for your news.

Linghu Xue glanced at him, then turned and walked out.

After two steps, she suddenly stopped, turned back and looked at Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng, no matter who you are or how strong you are, but I want to remind you that the Linghu family's patience is limited. If we wait too long, the consequences are not something you can bear.

Jiang Feng looked at her, his expression calm.

My patience is also limited.

Linghu Xue's lips moved, but in the end she said nothing more, turned and walked out.

Xu Yansong hurriedly followed, and Xu Tong followed as well.

The three of them left the Su family's gate and got into the car.

The car started and slowly drove away.

Jiang Feng stood at the doorway, watching the direction the car went, his expression calm, but a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

Su Lao came downstairs, looked at Jiang Feng, and asked.

Xiao Feng, do you really want to help the Linghu family's people?

Jiang Feng turned around, sat on the sofa, and said lightly.

I'm not helping the Linghu family; I'm helping Xue Yan.

Su Lao sighed and sat down beside him.

This child Xue Yan has a hard fate.

Jiang Feng nodded, without speaking.

Sunlight streamed in through the window, spreading across the floor, warm and cozy.

But the atmosphere in the living room was cold as winter.

Jiang Yan came downstairs, walked up to Jiang Feng, looked at him, her eyes full of worry.

Jiang Feng, are you really confident?

Jiang Feng glanced at her and said lightly.

Yes.

Jiang Yan nodded and asked no further.

She turned to pour Jiang Feng a cup of tea and placed it before him.

Jiang Feng picked up the teacup, took a sip, leaned back on the sofa, and closed his eyes.

His mind was thinking about Linghu Xing's matter.

Half-step Martial Ancestor, the fire attribute cultivation method went out of control.

He had seen this kind of problem before in the Scripture Repository on Kunlun Mountain.

Su Xueyan's cold poison is indeed an antidote.

But it is not the only antidote.

Jiang Feng has another method.

In that book on the Principles of Spacetime, he had seen a secret technique that could use spacetime power to reverse the damage to the meridians.

It only requires paying some price.

But for Su Xueyan, what is this price?

No matter whether the Linghu family agrees or not, he will not let Su Xueyan suffer any harm.

About half an hour later, Linghu Xue returned.

The Linghu family has agreed; when will you go see Aunt Xing?

Jiang Feng, however, said lightly.

It's her, coming to see me!
