Chapter 1109 You're courting death

Duan Erye was displeased. "I've spent so much time trying to distract you, why do you have to keep an eye on the Duan family's business?"

"Well... a handover ceremony was held a few days ago, but it was stopped by my father, oh, who is also the patriarch of my Duan family. So, this matter still needs the approval of the Duan family patriarch before it can be implemented."

"Then please ask the Duan family patriarch immediately, Second Master Duan. I will wait for news here."

Lin Feng felt a little anxious.

Duan Erye's words were contradictory and nonsensical, which was quickly wearing down Lin Feng's patience.

Master Duan nodded: "That's very good, but... if Third Sister marries Mr. Mu Chuan, she will become a member of the Mu family. If she then takes over the Duan family business, well... according to the rules, hehe, isn't that a bit unreasonable?"

Lin Feng sneered. Duan Enji was making all sorts of excuses, it seemed he just didn't want to hand over power to Duan Jingqiu.

"A gentleman's word is as good as his bond. Has Second Master Duan thought this through?"

"I am a man of my word. I have promised to marry Third Sister to you, and I will never break my promise."

"I'm referring to your refusal to hand over the Duan family business to Third Sister for management."

Master Duan paused. He saw a sharp killing intent in Lin Feng's eyes. If he refused bluntly, trouble might ensue.

"This matter is of great importance and we need to consult with the Duan family patriarch for a decision."

After some twists and turns, Master Duan began practicing Tai Chi.

Lin Feng waved his hand: "Alright, there's no need for you to ask. Let me go and inquire."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Feng had already disappeared from the spot.

Master Duan hurriedly raised his hand to stop him, but the man had already disappeared.

In fact, Lin Feng had already detected the aura of the Duan family patriarch, but he wanted to use methods to force the old man to show himself. However, the old man was very patient.

Lin Feng couldn't wait any longer, so he had to go and drag him out himself.

Master Duan frowned and remained silent, pondering whether this boy named Mu Chuan was more capable, or whether his own father was superior.

If the elderly father cannot withstand this person, then there will be no room for maneuver.

Mu Chuan was focused on the Duan family's business and didn't care about his beautiful daughter at all.

Master Duan understood things better than Duan Jingqiu.

"Third Sister, why are you so determined to take over the Duan family business? Isn't the business your father has given you enough?"

Duan Jingqiu immediately became angry when she saw her father blaming her.

"Father, you've tried to take my life time and time again, but you never mention it again?"

"Father did it for the Duan family's reputation."

"My daughter is innocent, so why does she ruin the Duan family's reputation just because she's alive?"

"Rumors and gossip are the most destructive force. How can a beautiful woman who has been kidnapped by bandits prove her innocence?"

"Does Father believe that his daughter has tarnished the Duan family's reputation?"

Master Duan remained silent, his face grim, and he gritted his teeth.

"You can only prove your innocence with your life."

Duan Jingqiu's face turned deathly pale; she had given up all hope for her father.

"Father, I will call you Father one more time. If it weren't for my repeated intervention, Mr. Mu Chuan would have wiped out our Duan family long ago."

"Hmph, how do you know if Mu Chuan has the ability?"

Duan Jingqiu pointed to the pile of corpses on the ground.

"Can these guards from the Duan family stop Mr. Mu Chuan?"

Master Duan sneered, "Your grandfather's methods are far more than this. The garrison of Luocheng has already surrounded the Duan residence."

"Father, you're courting death."

"How dare you! I have no daughter like you!"

Master Duan shouted angrily, and at the same time gave a wink to the guards standing on both sides.

The two guards paused slightly, then simultaneously drew their steel knives from their sheaths at their waists. Their movements were almost synchronized; the knives flashed with a cold light as they slashed towards Duan Jingqiu's neck.

The wooden-faced man was extremely anxious, but he couldn't move an inch.

He had several broken bones and was already having difficulty moving around. Now, he was being carried on the back of a guard. He tried to struggle to get off, but found that the guard was holding his legs tightly.

Song Chen shouted loudly, and received the same treatment as the wooden-faced man.

Xu Qi slumped on the guard's back, it was unclear whether he had fallen asleep or was unconscious.

Master Duan glared fiercely at his daughter, but as the steel knife swept past, a slight smirk appeared on his lips.

All problems will be solved once Duan Jingqiu dies.

Duan Jingqiu also closed his eyes in despair, waiting for the steel blade to fall upon him.

Unexpectedly, in that instant, the steel swords of the two guards suddenly went limp and fell to the ground with a clatter.

Everyone looked on in surprise and saw that the two guards who had collapsed beside Duan Jingqiu had blood coming out of their heads, as if something had pierced their foreheads.

Although Lin Feng left the scene, he was still paying attention and knew that Master Duan was not a kind person.

As expected, this caused the two guards to draw their knives.

Lin Feng casually flicked a pebble with his inner energy. This tiny pebble passed through several houses, drew several arcs in the air, and then precisely pierced the heads of two guards.

This was the first time Lin Feng had used his consciousness to control the trajectory of a pebble. With the added enhancement of his true qi cultivation technique, the pebble, imbued with true qi, flew over several obstacles like a bullet and accurately hit its target.

After witnessing the tragic state of the two guards, the hundreds of people at the scene turned to search for the source of the hidden weapon.

Master Duan was terrified and shouted loudly.

"Who, who did it?"

He believed that with Mu Chuan gone, no one here could stop the two expert guards, but reality was cruel; despite having so many of them, they still couldn't find out who had done it.

Just as everyone was stunned, the sounds of shouting and neighing of horses came from outside the gate, and countless soldiers of the Dazheng Army poured in from outside the Duan family's gate.

This was something that Master Duan had already instructed, ordering the Luocheng garrison to mobilize troops to come to the Duan residence for rescue.

The Duan family mansion was spacious with a tall gate tower, and several warhorses galloped in without any hindrance.

The cavalry was followed by infantry, their armor gleaming and their weapons dazzling, spreading like a torrent throughout the entire Duan family compound.

The leading general, fully equipped, rode his horse to the central courtyard and commanded his soldiers to surround everyone.

Many soldiers climbed onto the walls of houses and courtyards, drawing their bows and arrows as if facing a formidable enemy.

Master Duan looked on with delight and pride at the general riding a tall horse.

The servants and guards breathed a sigh of relief, finally free from their fears.

Duan Jingqiu stared at his father in despair. His father was willing to mobilize the Luocheng garrison to kill him in order to prevent him from becoming the head of the Duan family.

Song Chen lowered his head and was thrown to the ground by the guards who were carrying him.

Wooden Face and Xu Qi met the same fate; no one bothered to carry them anymore, and the way they were looked at them was as if they were dead.

"General Huo, you've worked hard. I am grateful."

Master Duan bowed and thanked him.

The general on horseback waved his hand slightly.

"You're too kind, Second Master. Protecting the safety of Luo City is my duty."

The deputy general standing beside General Huo shouted loudly.

Where are the bandits?

Master Duan sighed, “I never expected that there would be a traitor in my Duan family. This unfilial daughter, Duan Jingqiu, colluded with bandits to plot against my Duan family’s property. Now that the conspiracy has been exposed, I ask General Huo to take charge and arrest these bandits and punish them according to the law.”

Duan Jingqiu's bright eyes widened instantly, and he looked at his father with a bewildered expression.
