It is said that injuries may not be serious, but words are the most hurtful.
"Yang Feilong, he is your maternal great-grandfather. Are you going too far by doing this!" another elder said in a deep voice.
"Maternal great-grandfather? Going too far? Heh, did you ever treat me as a relative? What were you doing when he was shouting to kill me just now? Now that you see him at a disadvantage, you have something to say." Yang Feilong sneered.
Everyone present fell silent at this.
Yes, when Li Jianguo was shouting to kill Yang Feilong just now, besides Yang Feilong's parents, did anyone else plead for Yang Feilong?
"Your maternal great-grandfather, he was actually just trying to teach you a lesson because you were speaking too forcefully. He wouldn't have killed you," the elder said.
"Heh." Yang Feilong scoffed, "This is seeing that I have good strength and wanting to acknowledge this relationship. Sorry, I really have no interest when I see your faces."
"..."
Li Xiuzhu's mood was the most complicated. Seeing her son's mighty display in defeating Li Jianguo, she felt very proud. Her son was truly amazing and powerful!
As a mother, she naturally felt proud of her son!
But on the other hand, it was her maternal clan. Her son and her relatives had fallen out. This was like the palm and the back of her hand, both flesh and blood. She was caught in the middle, finding it very difficult!
"Son." Li Xiuzhu looked at Yang Feilong, hesitating to speak.
Yang Feilong looked at Li Xiuzhu's troubled expression and naturally understood her feelings. He took a deep breath and said, "Mother, I'm here to take you away today."
"I know, but..." Li Xiuzhu said, glancing at Yang Pingtian. Her face was filled with melancholy.
It was clear that she was aware of the family's situation.
Although she was imprisoned, she had not been kept in the dark about various news and situations within the family, so she knew the family's life-or-death predicament.
Once the Old Ancestor died, the Li family might be annihilated by the Wang family.
Due to her, the Wang family and the Li family had become a laughingstock back then. Once the Old Ancestor died, the Li family would truly be in dire straits!
"I made a deal with the Li family earlier: I would cure the Li family's Old Ancestor, and they would grant you freedom!" Yang Feilong said, "Now, I still stand by that decision!"
"Let's see if the Li family agrees to this deal?" Yang Feilong said, looking solemnly at the important figures of the Li family.
"You can save the Old Ancestor?" Li Xiuzhu was dumbfounded. "The Old Ancestor failed to break through to the Body Integration realm, and his bodily functions have already begun to decline!"
"I know," Yang Feilong nodded.
"Xiuzhu, your son's medical skills are even better than his martial arts talent!" At this moment, Yang Pingtian said with pride and a smile.
"What? Better than martial arts talent?" Li Xiuzhu was shocked.
The members of the Li family were also incredulous.
If it were before, everyone would have thought Yang Feilong was boasting, possibly trying to use his talent to get the Li family to accept him and grant Li Xiuzhu freedom. But now, they didn't doubt it much.
Because he had achieved the Void Refining realm, which they had considered impossible before, and not an ordinary Void Refining realm. If his medical skills were even better, it was not impossible, though it seemed incredible.
Moreover, he had indeed mentioned this matter at the beginning.
If he didn't have some real skills, would he dare to say so?
"I can guarantee to save the Old Master!" Yang Feilong said calmly, "I just don't know if the Li family will choose to save the Old Master or continue to keep Mother imprisoned!"
"Feilong, I am your maternal grandfather..." an elder began.
"Sorry, I don't want to claim kinship now. I only want to make a deal!" Yang Feilong interrupted him directly, his tone firm and forceful.
"Feilong, he is your biological maternal grandfather!" Li Xiuzhu said with a bitter expression, seeing her son speaking so coldly to her father.
"Imprisoning your own daughter for over twenty years? Separating your own daughter and your grandson for over twenty years? Separating your own daughter and her lover for over twenty years? Such a maternal grandfather, I will not acknowledge him!" Yang Feilong asked three rhetorical questions.
Li Xiuzhu sighed softly.
Li Xiuzhu's father choked.
Although what happened back then was not his original intention, he had indeed made the final decision.
After all, he was the family head before, and later became one of the seven Void Refining realm elders of the family!
"Can you really save the Old Master?" another person asked.
"If I say I can, then I can. If I can't, I can't!" Yang Feilong said without hesitation, his voice full of determination.
It was his way of telling the Li family, I can cure him.
Seeing Yang Feilong's business-like demeanor, everyone present regretted it. Especially those Void Refining realm elders. If they had treated Yang Feilong better earlier, perhaps this genius who was skilled in both medicine and martial arts would have been closer to them?
If he really took Li Xiuzhu away, it would be very difficult to leverage his influence in the future!
They all believed that with Yang Feilong's talent, reaching the Void Refining realm at such a young age, he would definitely be able to achieve the Body Integration realm in the future.
Coupled with his extraordinary medical skills, the family might not be so anxious when attempting to break through to the Void Refining realm in the future, and their chances of success would increase!
It was precisely for this reason that they regretted it immensely!
After all, a highly skilled and powerful divine doctor, if they could even save someone who had failed to break through to the Body Integration realm and whose body was decaying, their medical skills would be incredibly high and strong!
"Alright, you can discuss it among yourselves. Talk it over, and then tell me!" Yang Feilong said indifferently. He paused and added, "By the way, if you disagree with this deal, I might forcibly take my mother away. Whoever dares to stop me then will be my enemy, Yang Feilong!"
"..."
Hearing Yang Feilong threaten again, everyone's breathing hitched.
Was this kid always so aggressively outspoken?
We are relatives!
Your mother is a member of our family!
However, considering that they only had some blood ties with Yang Feilong, they understood why Yang Feilong resented them so much.
If it were them, they might not have behaved much better than Yang Feilong.
Of course, their ability to empathize was also due to Yang Feilong's impressive displays of power. He easily crushed a cultivator in the early Void Refining realm. What kind of strength was this?
The cultivators in the mid-Void Refining realm within their family might not even be able to do this.
Late Void Refining realm?
The late Void Refining realm might only be slightly stronger than others.
Moreover, Yang Feilong was so assertive in the Li family, facing so many Void Refining realm cultivators. Perhaps he had trump cards they couldn't even imagine.
Li Xiuzhu pursed her lips, glanced at her father and elder brother, and said, "I'll take my son to my residence first. You guys discuss it!"
With that, she led Yang Feilong and Yang Pingtian away. The others naturally did not stop them.
They indeed needed to discuss how to resolve Yang Feilong's resentment towards them.
