Chapter 1706 — Am I Dreaming?

With that thought, Yu Shuixing decided to check Yu Feng's injuries first, then find an opportunity to wipe out the Chen family entirely. Of course, now was not the time. Not only could he not act now, he would have to be magnanimous enough to let the Chen family continue as one of the great houses—only by doing so could the Yu family display its generosity and selflessness. As for taking revenge on the Chen family afterward, so long as it was done discreetly and gave no one cause for criticism, that would be enough.
"Hmph!" With this in mind, Yu Shuixing gave a cold snort, rose, and headed toward Yu Feng to tend to his injuries, only to hear Wei Zhao say one thing in a flat voice.
"Since Patriarch Yu has said that life and death rest with heaven, then send him to his death." Wei Zhao glanced at Yu Feng, then said to Chen Yuxuan, "After all, your name is Chen Yuxuan—and 'Tian' means heaven. That is why life and death rest with heaven."
"Haha, Brother Jianpai, you're so clever!" Shen Yushu was tickled by Wei Zhao's words.
"Yes!" Chen Yuxuan had never intended to let Yu Feng off anyway. The humiliation of that day—had it not been for Wei Zhao's help, he might truly have spent the rest of his life in a wheelchair. So how could he allow Yu Feng to get off lightly?
So Chen Yuxuan acknowledged the order and flew straight at Yu Feng.
Yu Shuixing and Chen Yuxuan were both Profound-Rank masters, both at the peak of the late Profound Rank. Chen Yuxuan, being closer to Yu Feng, naturally reached his side first.
Chen Yuxuan lifted his foot and stamped down on Yu Feng's left leg. A crisp crack of breaking bone sounded through the quiet conference room, so piercing that Yu Shuixing's heart trembled: "You whelp, how dare you! Are you asking for death? Yu Feng has already lost—will you still wipe him out to the very end?"
But Chen Yuxuan, as if he had not heard Yu Shuixing at all, raised his foot again and stamped down on Yu Feng's right leg. Another crisp crack, and Yu Feng's right leg broke as well. At last, the searing pain dragged Yu Feng out of his coma—yet he remained awake only for a moment before letting out a miserable howl, "Aooo!" and falling unconscious once more.
"Patriarch Yu seems very agitated. Shanshan, go and urge him not to be so agitated." Wei Zhao said to Qiu Lingshan at his side.
"All right!" Without another word, Qiu Lingshan moved to block Yu Shuixing, halting his approach to Chen Yuxuan. In that instant, her peak-late-Profound-Rank cultivation blazed out in full, bringing Yu Shuixing's steps to an abrupt stop.
"Another one at the peak of the late Profound Rank?" Yu Shuixing stared at Qiu Lingshan in disbelief. He could never have guessed that peak-late-Profound-Rank masters would suddenly become so common. These juniors of the great houses, who had seldom shown their true strength before, had all become peak-late-Profound-Rank masters!
At that moment, Song Xiangwen also flushed red with agitation! Chen Yuxuan of the Chen family had turned into a peak-late-Profound-Rank master, leaving him nothing but envy, jealousy, and resentment. But this time, if the Chen family managed to escape ruin by luck, the next to suffer misfortune would surely be the Song family!
And while he was worrying, who would have thought that his own granddaughter had also become a peak-late-Profound-Rank master! This... this was simply too astonishing! His granddaughter had only just broken through to the early Profound Rank not long ago, and now she was at the peak of the late Profound Rank?
Such a leap and such a rate of advancement gave Song Xiangwen a feeling of unreality. Was he not dreaming?
