Chapter 48: Arrogant and Tyrannical

"How can we help you!" The three elders exchanged glances before speaking in a low voice.

Du Han smiled faintly and said, "Du Fei's alchemy skills are unmatched among the younger generation. Even I admit I am no match for him... However, in terms of martial arts, he is inferior to me..."

"What do you mean..." Du Zhenfeng frowned slightly.

"Therefore, the best opportunity to take his life is in the Xuan You Secret Realm a month from now... What the three of you need to do is ensure I can clearly know his location in the Xuan You Secret Realm! This matter must not go wrong. I believe the three elders will have plenty of time to handle it." Du Han said calmly.

"After the deed is done, I want to see Du Fei's head with my own eyes!" Du Zhenfeng sneered, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Of course, then let's cooperate well!"

"Cooperate well!"

"Hong'er, what do you think the impact of today's events will be on our Gongsun family?" In a refined pavilion of the Gongsun family, Gongsun Ze stood by the window, looking outside and said calmly.

"This... It shouldn't have much impact, right." Gongsun Hong looked strange, and after a moment, she shook her white thigh and said, "But, Du Fei is really strong to the extreme. It won't be long before Du Han isn't his match anymore!"

"Yes!" Gongsun Ze sighed lightly, "Old Du Zhen Tian had good luck, having Du Han and then Du Fei in his family, and even eliminating Lian Zhen. Now, looking at our Gongsun family, besides you being somewhat capable, no one else is of any use... I wonder if after I pass away, the Gongsun family will be swallowed by the Du family."

"Father, you're making this too serious. As long as Hong'er is here, no one will dare to have any ideas about our Gongsun family." Gongsun Hong pinched her small hand and said softly.

"I hope it's just my excessive worry." Gongsun Ze smiled faintly and then slowly raised his head, "The sky of Yuecheng seems about to change!"

The next day, in the front hall of the Du family.

In the hall, all the high-ranking members of the Du family were seated, and even those who usually couldn't enter the main hall were now crowded in the corners, their strange gazes sweeping through the hall.

At this moment, below Du Zhen Tian, there were two rows of seats. However, unlike before, the three elders of the Du family were seated on the left, while on the right, only Du Fei sat, forming a confrontational stance with the three elders.

However, compared to the strange expressions of the three elders, Du Fei's face showed no other emotions. He just sat there with his eyes closed, seemingly indifferent to the family meeting.

No one dared to speak first in the unusual silence of the hall. It wasn't until a moment later that Du Fei slowly opened his eyes, his calm gaze slowly sweeping over the three elders opposite him, and then he said faintly, "I need an explanation."

Upon hearing this, Du Zhenfeng's face twitched slightly, and then he suppressed his voice and said, "Young Master Du Fei, although I admit I was wrong, Xiao Ai is just a servant of the Du family. As an elder of the Du family, I have the right to decide a servant's marriage without needing to explain to anyone! You'd better understand your position!"

"Bang..."

Du Fei slapped the table next to him, turning it into powder, and the three elders trembled slightly.

After this action, Du Fei narrowed his eyes and carefully examined Du Zhenfeng, then said coldly, "Elder Three, I think you have misunderstood something... I have never treated Xiao Ai as a servant, but as my sister. Even if she is a servant, you have no right to decide anything!"

"As long as she is a member of the Du family, I have the right to decide!" Du Zhenfeng gritted his teeth and said.

"Are you a pig? If I become an elder of the Du family one day, and I want you to marry a pig, can I decide that too!" Du Fei snorted, "I don't know where you've lived all these years, eating more than a pig and doing things no different from a pig."

Being slapped in the face by Du Fei, Du Zhenfeng's face turned red and then white. He was a man of high status and never expected Du Fei to confront him like this.

If it were any other time, Du Zhen Tian would have intervened to resolve the dispute, but for some reason, today Du Zhen Tian seemed dazed, as if he hadn't heard anything.

Du Zhenfeng gritted his teeth in anger at Du Zhen Tian's behavior.

"You..." Pointing at Du Fei, Du Zhenfeng said with a hint of venom, "Du Fei, don't forget that you are still a member of the Du family... Your arrogant attitude is just like your father's! Do you also want to betray the Du family, you..."

"Slap..."

Before Du Zhenfeng could finish speaking, Du Fei kicked his shoe off and it flew straight to Du Zhenfeng's face, as if slapping him.

Du Fei seemed unaffected by this, and said with a hint of regret, "Tsk tsk tsk... This pair of shoes is quite expensive, using it to hit a pig is really a waste... Xiao Ai, go back and buy a few pairs for me, this one is no longer needed."

"Yes!" Xiao Ai hurriedly replied.

"Bang..."

"Du Fei, you scoundrel!" Du Zhen Tian slapped the table and stood up, his gaze fixed on Du Fei, and his killing intent spread rapidly.

"Do you really want to fight... I've killed many people, but this is the first time I've killed a pig!" Du Fei smiled lightly, and with a casual flick of his right hand, three pills appeared in his hand, gently shaking.

Seeing this, Du Zhenfeng's face changed drastically, and he was stuck there, unsure whether to act or not.

Du Fei, however, watched him like a monkey, saying nothing, just smiling faintly.

The others, though wanting to stop this, dared not say much.

This scene lasted for a moment, and then Du Zhen Tian, as if waking up, looked down and said calmly, "Elder Three, you're an old man, why bother with a young person? And you, Du Fei... No matter what, Elder Three is still an elder of the Du family, you must not be disrespectful to him."

"Yes, yes, Du Fei was wrong, I apologize to Elder Three here... I shouldn't have hit you with a shoe. Next time, I'll use a pair, and you can pick them up to wear, it won't be wasted." Du Fei smiled faintly and bowed casually.

"You!" Du Zhenfeng trembled, pointing at Du Fei, and after a moment, his face turned red, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, then slumped in his seat.

"Du Fei, don't go too far!" Du Zhenxuan on the opposite side snorted.

"Too far! If I didn't have some skills, I would have been dead yesterday... Now, he just spat out some blood, and I'm already too far? Let me tell you, if it weren't for his surname Du, I would have slapped him to death long ago!" Du Fei sneered, "You too! All three of you old dogs are the same!"

"You..."

"Enough! Enough! No more arguing!" Du Zhen Tian clapped his hands and said calmly, "Du Fei, I will definitely have the three elders give you an explanation for yesterday's incident... Don't continue to cause trouble, after all, this is a family meeting, it's not a good look."

Du Fei understood that Du Zhen Tian was giving him face, so he smiled faintly and said nothing, just closing his eyes again.

Seeing Du Fei stop, Du Zhen Tian gestured for the three elders to sit down, and then said slowly, "The purpose of today's family meeting... everyone is clear. The three elders privately decided Xiao Ai's marriage, leading to yesterday's incident, which is a major mistake... Fortunately, Du Fei, our Du family has not suffered any losses, so the duties of the three elders will be temporarily suspended, and the elder positions will be filled later... As for Du Fei, I have decided to reinstate your father Du Tian in the family register, as compensation for this incident. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Du Fei's body trembled slightly. He knew that his father had always been troubled by the fact that he had betrayed the Du family. Now, having the chance to reinstate him in the family register was not a bad thing.

Du Fei did not hesitate, opened his eyes, and said, "Thank you, Head of the Family!"

"Hehe, since Du Fei agrees, then it's settled..." Du Zhen Tian clapped his hands lightly, "Additionally, I will allow Xiao Ai to enter the third floor of the Wu Xiu Pavilion to choose a cultivation technique or martial skill as compensation... The mistake of the three elders will be forgiven, after all, we are all members of the Du family, we shouldn't be too harsh."

Frowning slightly, Du Fei said calmly, "I will follow the Head of the Family's decision... But this is the only time, no exceptions. If it happens again, don't blame me for not considering family ties!"

"Hehe, of course, I believe the three elders are reasonable people and understand my intentions!" Du Zhen Tian laughed heartily and clapped his hands lightly.

The Du family members in the front hall cheered loudly, and for a moment, there was a sense of family harmony.

Du Fei's gaze slowly swept over the three elders, and when their eyes met, he smiled coldly in his heart.

If I weren't still recovering from my injuries, would I need to put on this act? I would have slapped those three to death long ago... We'll see what happens in the future! At that time, many things will be uncertain.

"You can only be arrogant now! After you die, I will definitely enjoy your beautiful girl!" Du Zhenfeng cursed viciously in his heart but showed a gentle smile to Du Fei.

But this smile, no matter how you looked at it, was ugly, like a blooming chrysanthemum.
