"People from the Four Great Families of Central Continent?" Du Yuanbai looked at these people, his face full of surprise.
"Why would people from the Four Great Families be here?" the clan elder was full of doubts.
The leading man, a member of the Tang Family, seeing no one answering, impatiently spoke again, "I'm asking you, who is Feng Yuqin?"
Feng Yuqin had been wondering who these people were. After hearing what Du Yuanbai and the clan elder said, she now knew their identities.
So she looked at the four of them with a cold, aloof and distant look in her eyes and said, "What do you want?"
"Are you Feng Yuqin?" the steward of the Tang Family asked.
"Stop talking nonsense. If you have something to say, just say it. If not, get out of here." Feng Yuqin was also getting impatient.
These people had a bad attitude. Did they expect her to be polite?
"You're going too far." The woman beside them, You Tianhe, the younger sister of the head of the You Family, said, "We're here to take you to Central Continent."
"What do you want to take Miss Feng to Central Continent for?" the clan elder immediately asked warily.
He hadn't even managed to recruit Feng Yuqin to the Phoenix Clan yet. Could it be that these people were here to steal her away from him?
That wouldn't do.
Feng Yuqin was the clan leader of their Phoenix Clan. She couldn't be snatched away by other forces.
"Some demons have also appeared in Central Continent. Some people have practiced forbidden arts. We're here to take her to save people." Steward Tang replied.
"Not going." Feng Yuqin refused simply.
"What?" Steward Tang was stunned for a moment. "I said we're here to take you to Central Continent to save people. If you perform well, you can develop in Central Continent in the future."
"I'm not interested." After Feng Yuqin said that, she looked at the clan elder and the others and said, "The people from North Continent are waiting for us. Let's go."
"Don't you dare leave." The people from the Four Great Families immediately blocked Feng Yuqin's way.
"A good dog doesn't block the way." Feng Yuqin gave these people a cold look, her tone colder than ever.
"Feng Yuqin, you're going too far." Shi Yuting, a talented alchemist from the Shi Family, lifted her haughty chin and looked down on Feng Yuqin. "Do you know how many people from the Four Continents want to go to Central Continent? But they don't even have the qualification. Now you have this chance, yet you're stupid enough to refuse."
Slap!
A loud slap resounded. Shi Yuting was directly sent flying.
Seeing this, You Tianhe immediately ran over and fed Shi Yuting a healing pill.
The next moment, Feng Yuqin saw Mo Xuanye walking up to her.
"Since they're dogs, they should be properly disciplined." Mo Xuanye looked at Feng Yuqin with a hint of doting in his eyes.
"My lord is so domineering." Xiao Ying said.
"Yes, these people are so annoying." Hun Bing said. "If my lord hadn't taken action first just now, I would have made this woman a fool."
"To protect our master, my lord has never let us down." Xiao Jin said.
"Who are you? How dare you attack people from our Four Great Families." Steward Tang looked at Mo Xuanye, his face full of anger.
But Mo Xuanye's aura was so powerful that Steward Tang didn't really dare to attack him directly.
"You ants are not worthy of knowing who this palace is." Mo Xuanye hugged Feng Yuqin and left.
Seeing this, the clan elder and the others also followed suit.
Except for the clan elder who knew Mo Xuanye's identity, the others had never seen Mo Xuanye before and didn't know who he was or what gave him the confidence to directly attack people from Central Continent.
Some of the timid ones were thinking whether they should keep a distance from Feng Yuqin and the others, lest they be targeted and retaliated against by the people from Central Continent.
"Steward Tang, are we just going to let them leave like this?" Another man who had been silent all this time, the second master of the Lu Family, frowned and asked.
Although Steward Tang was the steward of the Tang Family, he was the younger brother of the current family head's wife.
Even though the second master of the Lu Family was very dissatisfied with him in his heart, he didn't dare to show it too much.
"This man gives me a very dangerous feeling." Steward Tang said.
"Steward Tang, aren't you being too cautious? He's just from the Four Continents. Do we people from Central Continent need to be afraid of people from the Four Continents?" the second master of the Lu Family asked in confusion.
"Did you feel anything when that man appeared? Could you see the speed of his attack?" Steward Tang asked.
"I..." The second master of the Lu Family couldn't answer.
He even felt that Mo Xuanye had suddenly appeared.
As for the attack, although he was standing right next to him, he really didn't feel anything at all.
If that man attacked him or even took his life directly...
Just thinking about it, the second master of the Lu Family's face instantly changed.
But soon, he asked unwillingly, "We came here to take Feng Yuqin to Central Continent. What should we do now?"
At this time, You Tianhe helped Shi Yuting over. Especially Shi Yuting, who had been slapped, said with a venomous look on her face, "This Feng Yuqin doesn't take us people from Central Continent seriously at all. We mustn't let them get away with it."
You Tianhe also said, "That's right. The dignity of our Central Continent cannot be challenged by people from the Four Continents."
Steward Tang looked at the two of them and asked, "So what do you plan to do?"
"Let's go back now and tell our families that this Feng Yuqin is very arrogant and wishes all of us from Central Continent were dead." Shi Yuting said with a twisted expression.
"Are you serious?" Steward Tang asked.
"Steward Tang, the situation is already like this. Do you think Feng Yuqin will still go to Central Continent to help?" A hint of hostility flashed across Shi Yuting's eyes. "If she doesn't go to help, doesn't that mean we're incompetent?"
Hearing the words "incompetent", the others fell silent.
Among their Four Great Families, the competition within each family was extremely fierce.
This time, they had managed to come to the Four Continents to find Feng Yuqin and take her to Central Continent only after much effort.
If they were incompetent, they would be punished when they got back.
But if they shifted all the blame onto Feng Yuqin, the situation would be different.
Shi Yuting spoke again, "Moreover, Feng Yuqin is so beautiful. I really don't believe she has the ability to save those people. It must be that the people from the Four Continents deliberately boasted about her because of her good looks."
When You Tianhe saw Feng Yuqin, she was also very jealous of her beauty. So when she heard Shi Yuting's words, she immediately agreed, "Yes, she definitely doesn't have that ability. I don't know what despicable means she used to gain this reputation."
You Tianhe and Shi Yuting were jealous of Feng Yuqin's beauty. Steward Tang and the second master of the Lu Family were men. Although they weren't jealous of Feng Yuqin's beauty, they were afraid of taking responsibility.
After all, they couldn't afford the responsibility of being incompetent.
So thinking like this, they felt that they should go back and exaggerate things, and report Feng Yuqin's bad deeds to their respective families.
At least they should make their families think that the reason they didn't bring Feng Yuqin back from the Four Continents this time wasn't their fault, but Feng Yuqin's.
However, these four people never imagined that their decision today would bring such a devastating blow to their Four Great Families and even the entire Central Continent.
