Marshal, Please Calm Down (MARSHAL)
"Miss Feng, I don't think the Feng family's teachings would encourage you to make a scene in public, would they?" Xuanyuan Chengtian stepped forward with his face seemingly smiling, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
For the first time in her life, Feng Yan'er was questioned like this, and her temper almost got the better of her. However, Xuanyuan Chengtian's words had indeed struck a nerve with her.
Feng Yan'er looked at Xuanyuan Chengtian with cold, phoenix-like eyes while suppressing her anger, and spoke icily to him and Scott. "I have truly gained some insight today."
Xuanyuan Chengtian and Scott Alman dared to humiliate her like this in front of others; with Feng Yan'er's petty nature, how could she let them off easily? However, the current situation was unfavorable for her, so she could only temporarily avoid their sharpness.
But don’t think she would let these two off easily, along with that Wu Zimo who had been hiding behind Scott Alman!
"Wu Zimo, I will tell my father about your attitude today. With you acting like this, my Feng family really cannot afford to associate with you." Feng Yan'er shifted her anger onto Wu Zimo with her tone dripping with sarcasm.
However, Wu Zimo was not affected at all by Feng Yan'er’s sarcastic tone; instead, he nodded in deep agreement, "Indeed, how could the Feng family possibly afford to associate with me? But Miss Feng, I must repeat, my surname is Wu, and I have absolutely no connection with your Feng family."
After Wu Zimo finished speaking, he looked at Feng Yan'er with the gaze of someone caring for a mentally challenged child, as she continued to talk to herself.
Feng Yan'er felt that coming to let this useless Wu Zimo return to the Feng family on her father's behalf was the worst decision she could have made, especially since this useless Wu Zimo dared to embarrass her in front of outsiders. The killing intent in her eyes intensified.
Everyone present was a highly perceptive awakened one; how could the three of them not sense Feng Yan'er’s intense killing intent?
As Feng Yan'er revealed her killing intent towards Wu Zimo, Xuanyuan Chengtian immediately stepped forward a few paces to block her gaze.
Scott was even more direct; on the other side, Caesar, who had merely been suppressing the peacock, suddenly narrowed his silver vertical pupils. He opened his mouth, and his sharp canine teeth sank directly into the peacock's delicate neck.
"Chirp!"
"Ugh!"
Caesar's attack was truly merciless, a bite that belonged to a life-and-death struggle.
Don’t be fooled by Feng Yan'er’s self-proclaimed powerful quantum beast; in reality, it was all just her fantasy. Because of the Feng family's status and her role as a guide, those men who coveted the Feng family's power would naturally flatter her. As for the women, either they were genuinely weak in combat or found her repulsive and wanted nothing to do with her.
This led Feng Yan'er, a woman who had been spoiled and flattered, to believe she was invincible.
The peacock, whose neck was bitten off by Caesar, let out a single cry before disappearing. It was not called back to the spiritual world by its master but was forced to return to a higher-dimensional world due to severe injury. With the quantum beast's disappearance, Feng Yan'er, as its master, also suffered a simultaneous blow to her spiritual power.
Originally red-faced with anger, Feng Yan'er now turned pale and devoid of color. More than her complexion, she stared in horror with her phoenix-like eyes, unable to believe what had just happened.
She could not fathom that her peacock had been so easily defeated by the opponent.
Wu Zimo was also somewhat surprised, just like Feng Yan'er. He certainly sensed her killing intent, but he did not care. Although he was weak in combat, he still had ways to deal with someone who was self-righteous and foolish.
However, his Marshal actions were too swift and ruthless.
Xuanyuan Chengtian's expression did not change at all when Caesar bit the peacock; he remained calm and instructed the restaurant manager, who had been as still as a mural, to take Feng Yan'er to the hospital while she was pale and terrified.
The scattering of the quantum beast had a significant impact on its master’s mental strength. Feng Yan'er, being the daughter of the Feng family, could not be left unattended by Xuanyuan Chengtian, even though he had little regard for this foolish woman.
Scott's ruthless actions indeed intimidated Feng Yan'er; the fact that she left without uttering a sound and did not dare to meet Scott's gaze showed that she was genuinely frightened.
Once Feng Yan'er left, the atmosphere in the room did not change at all due to Scott's ruthlessness.
Xuanyuan Chengtian even teased Scott about being furious for a pretty face, although the result was met with a roll of Wu Zimo's eyes.
Of course, Wu Zimo appreciated Scott's protective actions, so while continuing to pick up his chopsticks, he placed a large chicken leg onto Scott's bowl.
"This is a reward for you."
Scott had no objections to the food, but since this chicken leg was Wu Zimo's reward for him, he looked down at the golden-brown chicken leg in his bowl, and the affection in his silver eyes was about to overflow.
It was a pity that Xuanyuan Chengtian, who was being bombarded with dog food, looked at the sweet atmosphere between the two across from him and wished he could bang the table and ask them to show some love for this single dog.
"However, Scott, won't there be any consequences for you destroying Feng Yan'er's quantum beast?"
Federation Guide Institution felt like a neighborhood committee to him as that Head, Mrs. Maria, was determined to play matchmaker. However, the original intention of Federation Guide Institution was to protect the rights of the guides.
Today, Scott directly destroyed Feng Yan'er's peacock; who knew if that foolish girl would turn around and report Scott to the Federation Guide Institution?
"It won't be a problem." Scott was not worried at all and just answered while continuing to use his chopsticks to place food that Wu Zimo liked into his bowl.
On the other side, Xuanyuan Chengtian, who had been stuffed with so much dog food that he didn't need to eat, also chimed in, "Wu Zimo, you can rest assured about this. If that foolish Feng Yan'er really dares to report Scott to the Guide Institution, the one who will definitely face consequences will be her, not Scott, who protected you."
That's right, the Federation Guide Institution would protect the rights of the guides, but that did not mean they would indiscriminately protect those guides who sought their own demise.
Scott and Wu Zimo were a perfectly combined sentinel-guide pair. If Feng Yan'er dared to attack Wu Zimo with her quantum beast in front of Scott, what else could that be but seeking death? Scott's actions were relatively gentle because if he had encountered a hot-tempered sentinel, not only would the peacock have been destroyed, but there was also a high chance that Feng Yan'er would have been beaten up.
Sentinels lose all rationality when it comes to their guides.
Therefore, everyone in the galaxy understands one principle: do not provoke a bonded guide, especially if that guide is protected by a powerful sentinel.
Since both experts said there would be no problem, Wu Zimo was no longer worried and continued to focus on eating.
The Long Family restaurant truly deserved its top ranking on the interstellar food list; it was indeed delicious!
Scott watched the young man beside him eat happily and completely unaffected by Feng Yan'er's presence, so the Marshal was very satisfied with his feeding.
Thus, among the three, the most dissatisfied was Xuanyuan Chengtian, who, despite having a large spread of delicious food in front of him, was instead stuffed with a large handful of dog food and was unable to even take a bite of the food, only able to shed silent tears in his heart.
After finishing the meal, Xuanyuan Chengtian had the waiter clear the plates and took a sip of digestive tea before speaking, "Wu Zimo, you came to see Feng Yan'er today because you had something to ask her, right? Why didn't you ask just now?"
Wu Zimo agreeing to meet Feng Yan'er was certainly not out of interest in the Feng family. However, before Wu Zimo could speak, the atmosphere between the two sides had already become very tense.
Hearing Xuanyuan Chengtian's question, which was not a secret, Wu Zimo directly said, "I wanted to ask Feng Yan'er about my parents."
The only reason Wu Zimo agreed to meet Feng Yan'er was to fulfill the original owner's wish, but after seeing Feng Yan'er, especially her attitude, he no longer wanted to speak.
From what Scott and the others had said, Wu Zimo thought he had a certain understanding of the Feng family, but after seeing Feng Yan'er, he felt that the level of peculiarity in the Feng family was still underestimated.
Looking at Feng Yan'er's expression, if he had asked at that moment, unless she refused to answer, she would definitely have a face full of condescension.
Moreover, Wu Zimo had a premonition that any information he obtained from this woman would be worlds apart from the truth. Therefore, after seeing Feng Yan'er, he abandoned the thought of asking.
And not wanting to get entangled with the Feng family, Wu Zimo repeatedly stated that he was a Wu and had no connection with the Feng family whatsoever.
As for whether Feng Yan'er understood the meaning of Wu Zimo's words, well, only God knew.
Feng Yan'er certainly did not understand; with her intelligence, she only thought Wu Zimo was insulting her.
When the head of the Feng family learned that his daughter had met Wu Zimo and had suffered a severe blow to her spiritual power to the point where she couldn't even summon her peacock, he was extremely anxious.
His daughter was the most gifted among the Feng family in generations and absolutely could not afford to have any accidents! When the head of the Feng family hurried to the hospital, he saw his daughter crying pitifully.
Seeing his daughter being bullied like this, as a father, he was naturally heartbroken.
"Yan'er, don't be afraid! Father will seek justice for you!"
"Woo, father, you must help me, and that Wu Zimo, I absolutely cannot let him go!"
"Alright, alright. Whatever Yan'er says goes. A mere orphan without family support, let's see how far he can go. He even wants to marry into the Alman family? Ha!"
The head of the Feng family’s words were not only to comfort Feng Yan'er but also reflected his long-held thoughts; otherwise, he wouldn't have let his daughter meet Wu Zimo in person. Besides being interested in the Alman family's power, he also wanted to show Wu Zimo that without family backing, wanting to join the aristocracy was nothing but a dream.
He wouldn’t even know how he would end up! Now, he actually had the audacity to treat his precious daughter like this; the head of the Feng family would definitely not let this blind Wu Zimo off easily.
"When will father go find that Wu Zimo?" Hearing her father was going to stand up for her, Feng Yan'er’s cries subsided a bit as she anxiously asked.
"Isn't he holding a wedding in a few days? Just in time to let the Alman family and other families see what kind of person this Wu Zimo is."
