Although the guards' words were extrely respectful to Jing Feng, she could tell they were hiding sothing from her.
Instantly, she exuded her powerful aura and forcefully raised her hand.
And with a powerful suction force, she directly grasped the neck of a guard as she flashed a nacing glint.
"Gargh, m-rcy Young Miss Jing Feng," The guard stuttered as his legs started shaking back and forth. He was being choked and his face had slowly turned purple.
Jing Feng snorted coldly and released her strength a bit, allowing the guard to breathe in air. "Tell honestly now, otherwise, I'm afraid you and your family are going to have a vacation trip to the underworld."
At this mont, the guard could no longer care about hiding the incident from Jing Feng. His life and family life were on the line right now. Nothing was more important to him than his family.
Thus, without hesitation, the guard started explaining the situation to her.
"Recently, so of the elders who were still eager to collaborate with the Yi Clan had been gaining power. Obviously, Madam Jing Yan opposed such an idea considering how your presud death was caused by Yi Ren." The guard said nervously.
He could feel the murderous glare from Jing Feng intensifying.
"What else?" Jing Feng shouted in fury.
She could subtly sense that sothing had happened to her mother and her emotions were spiraling out of control.
Thankfully, Yang Wei managed to place his hand on her shoulder, calming her down at the crucial mont.
"Jing Feng, calm for a mont. Your fury is causing the guard to have difficulty breathing. Weren't you the one that always told only a calm mind can solve problems?" Yang Wei whispered softly.
Feeling his warm hand placed on her, Jing Feng slowly regained her composure as she released her grasp and retracted her murderous aura. When the murderous aura dissipated, the guard took multiple deep breaths before explaining what had occurred in the past days.
Who was he kidding?
Just now he had just nearly experienced the aning of death, so how could he still try to hide from her?
"Madam Jing Yan was ecstatic when she heard of the news of you returning to the Central Zone. She wished to reunite with you as soon as possible but was detained by the elders. She is now confined in an isolated ho without access to any news." The guard said truthfully and even went beyond to point out which elders supported the decision.
As much as Jing Feng wanted to remain calm, her eyes flashed a fierce glint when she heard how her mother was being treated.
"What about that insignificant father of mine?" She subtly asked.
Although she asked that question, she already knew the stance of her father.
It was vividly clear that her spineless father had sided with the elders to detain Jing Yan. Despite that, she wished to hear it from the guard to confirm her thought process.
After all, there was still a slither of hope that her father might be detained as well for trying to oppose such a decision.
Alas, her slither of hope was shattered when the guard shook his head.
"The patriarch, Jing Xuefing, did not voice any opinions when the elders collectively suggested detaining Madam Jing Yan to please the Yi Clan. In fact, he was more toward the sides of the alliance with the Yi Clan considering how the Yi Clan would soon rge with the Tianshuang Sect."
"Hmph, what a cowardly bunch of people to exist in the Jing Clan. Never once did I expect them to stoop so low as to ally with soone that supposedly backstabbed ." Jing Feng sneered coldly.
The more she listened, the more she wished to cleanse the Jing Clan bloodline herself and rebuild a new one. The Jing Clan does not need cowardly people to live in.
She turned around and glanced at Yang Wei, "Looks like we will have to hold back the plan of a betrothal gift."
Yang Wei nodded his head.
"It doesn't matter, Jing Feng. What matters the most is rescuing my mother-in-law, right?" Yang Wei calmly said and showed a gentle smile.
He had been listening from the sideline and subtly understood the current situation of the Jing Clan. The Jing Clan had been divided into two factors at the mont.
One factor belonged to the group that supported the alliance with the Yi Clan whereas the other factor belonged to the opposition. After all, so elders were still enraged by the fact that the notorious Yi Clan had hard Jing Feng in the past.
Those elders were the people that Jing Feng cared about alongside her mother. As for the rest, she could care less about their life and death situation.
"Mhmm, you're right… I bet my mother is dying to see coming ho with a man at last." Jing Feng smiled and joked for a bit.
She didn't wish to have Yang Wei see her ugly side, but it was too late. Nevertheless, she was grateful that Yang Wei was more concerned about her mother's well-being than her outburst.
Soti later, the guard 'generously' inford the location of Jing Yan being detained to Jing Feng.
Jing Feng naturally thanked him for the generosity and even told them not to reveal about her coming back. Otherwise, she would have to pay their family a little visit.
"Jing Feng, remind again to never get into your bad side." Yang Wei laughed cheekily as he hugged her waist while she was maneuvering her flying sword.
Jing Feng laughed for a bit and shook her head.
"You should be careful of my mother instead. Once she actually becos enraged- that's when all hell will go loose." She said calmly, glancing at the tiny house that was in front of her.
"My mother has a gentle personality and would rarely throw a fit unless soone had gone overboard. This ti, I bet my mother is on the verge of cutting ties with the Jing Clan."
