Chapter 5006: No Need to Worry

“Hmph, so what if he’s back? Does he really think he can defy our Cheng family?” another elder sneered, his words dripping with contempt.

“The Song family is now propped up solely by Song Lingbo. His abilities are undeniably formidable, but the man refuses to be used by others. Otherwise, our Cheng family would have been eager to recruit him. What a pity.”

Cheng Wanli sneered coldly, then seemed to recall something. His eyes flickered, and an inexplicable smile touched his lips. “Though Song Lingbo’s wife is truly a beauty in the making. Even as the mother of several children, she still possesses such captivating charm—a unique allure.”

“Second Master, why haven’t you dealt with that woman you’re bringing along? Carrying her on the road could easily lead to trouble. After all, she’s not exactly the quiet type.” an elder remarked, recalling the woman in his own quarters! Now he was eyeing Song Lingbo’s woman, inwardly shaking his head yet finding it all too familiar.

Cheng Wanli’s sole passion was beautiful women. His courtyard housed dozens, if not hundreds, each possessing unique charms. Little did anyone expect his tastes would grow so peculiar—now he even coveted married women.

“That’s a woman I plan to bring to the back courtyard. She’s still untouched! Besides, her wounds haven’t healed yet. I’ve no interest in touching a woman covered in scars.” He touched his lips again, revealing a sinister smile. “This woman is fiery, like a wild horse. I have all the time in the world to tame her!”

“Second Master, would you like me to accompany you tonight?” an elderly man inquired, observing him. “There are quite a few hidden guards watching over the Song residence. I fear you might not be able to handle them all.”

“Alright, one escort will suffice.” He stroked his chin, his thoughts drifting to the Lady Song’s beauty and figure, his heart racing with anticipation.

At that moment, Lady Song was walking towards Feng Jiu’s courtyard. Upon entering, she saw Feng Jiu strolling about and approached, calling out, “Lady Xuanyuan.”

Feng Jiu turned and raised an eyebrow at her. “Why have you come, Lady Song?”

“I came to inform you that some guests have arrived at the mansion—all men, no less. I’m concerned you might encounter them if you go out.”

Hearing this, Feng Jiu smiled and said, “So that’s what this is about. Just now, I heard from a maid that guests had arrived and were causing a commotion in the front courtyard, so I went to take a look. I saw those people too.”

Madam Song’s brows knitted slightly, and she said with some unease, “I don’t know why, but looking at those people, I feel a vague sense of unease. They say they are from the Cheng family. Do you know the Cheng family? They’re the most prominent clan in the Longnan region. Their status is extraordinary because their family has produced nine Supreme-level cultivators.”

She sat down at the stone table in the courtyard, a trace of worry between her brows. “Our Song family is a lineage of culinary cultivators. My father-in-law—our Song family’s patriarch—has been in seclusion for years. Some say he might have attained enlightenment through meditation, others say he couldn’t break through. Rumors outside run wild. Now, only my husband holds the Song family together. Families like ours naturally can’t compare to the Chens of Longnan. So even though I dislike those people, when several clan elders spoke up asking them to stay, I couldn’t bring myself to refuse.”

Hearing this, Feng Jiu chuckled softly and said, “Actually, there’s no need for you to worry so much.”
