"Why is the old ancestor protecting this outsider, Li Feng?"

"You're asking me, how would I know?"

"There has to be a reason, right? Could it be that Li Feng is a flesh and blood descendant of our ancestor who was lost outside?"

Xiang Liang turned his head to look at Xiang Long, who was speculating wildly.

"The old ancestor has lived in the Ancestral Hall for many years, never leaving, where would a lost flesh and blood come from?"

"Well, that's not certain."

Xiang Long murmured lowly, "Don't you think Li Feng's power is a bit terrifying? To be able to fight our Five Tigers to a standstill, I think Li Feng might have the same kind of strength as that freak Xiang Tian."

Xiang Tian, the first genius of this generation of the Huadong Xiang Family, ranked first among the Five Tigers, with such extraordinary strength that he had no friends.

Hearing Xiang Long say this, Xiang Liang started to think, perhaps he really is the old ancestor's flesh and blood.

After all, Huadong Town is just under Huacheng's jurisdiction, separated by only a few dozen miles, and they say Li Feng comes from a single-parent family.

To match the Xiang Family, it would have to be someone with Xiang bloodline.

Hmm.

Based on that logic, Xiang Long's point makes sense.

Otherwise, how do you explain why the old ancestor would protect Li Feng so much, knowing this is the Xiang Ancestral Hall, the most revered place where all Xiang clan members offer tribute to their ancestors?

"Old ancestor, you're protecting this outsider, you need to give us a reason, don't you?"

Xiang Zhan's protection left the great elder a bit puzzled, but they couldn't just let it slide.

Since they've already chosen to eliminate Li Feng, they naturally can't quit halfway, otherwise what would that make them?

Now someone in the Xiang Family is injured, with one of the younger Five Tigers seriously injured. If Li Feng leaves Huadong Town triumphantly, where would the Xiang Family's face go?

"That's right, old ancestor, we are also thinking for the interests of the Xiang clan, you have to give us a reasonable explanation, otherwise, Li Feng will not leave this Ancestral Hall today."

"Reason!"

Xiang Zhan looked at his grandsons who dared to demand a reason from him, really audacious: "Fine, I'll give you a reason."

"Because this kid is a descendant of the Medical Saint, and my life was saved by the Medical Saint back in the day."

"I owe him a life."

"If you want to kill him, then you have to take my life first."

Once Xiang Zhan said this, everyone present was dumbfounded.

"He's a descendant of the Medical Saint."

Kneeling on the ground, Xiang Clan Leader Xiang Qian raised his head to look at Li Feng, his eyes flickering.

The words of the great elder and the third elder, he actually didn't oppose them, otherwise, he wouldn't have remained silent earlier. To them, Li Feng was just an unrelated outsider.

He naturally wouldn't escalate internal conflicts within the Xiang clan for Li Feng's sake, if killed, then that's that.

But with this statement from ancestor Xiang Zhan, things were now a bit tricky.

It turns out that Li Feng is a descendant of the Medical Saint.

"You're the little boy who followed the Medical Saint back then."

Back when they invited the Medical Saint to Huadong Town to treat Xiang Zhan, Xiang Qian, as the young clan leader of the Xiang clan, was present. When the Medical Saint came to Huadong Town, there was indeed a little boy with him, about five or six years old.

"Clan Leader Xiang, you have a good memory. I still remember back then you were the young clan leader, standing by the bedside, and it seemed like the young clan leader told my grandfather that if he could save the old ancestor of the Xiang family, the Xiang family would serve like loyal dogs and horses."

"My grandfather was generous back then, only saying that your Xiang family owed a favor, and he saved elder Xiang Zhan."

"It's been over twenty years since then, I hope Clan Leader Xiang hasn't forgotten?"

Listening to Li Feng recount the past events, Xiang Qian felt a bit bitter; it seemed things weren't easy to handle.

If Li Feng is indeed a descendant of the Medical Saint, then the entire Xiang family owes him a life debt, and it's the life of the old ancestor of the Xiang family.

The Xiang clan's foundation lies in ancestor veneration, offering tributes to ancestors, treating the ancestors and forebears as the spiritual pillar of the Xiang family. Generations have strived for the glory of the Xiang clan, following ancestral commands.

So could they betray and eradicate the ancestors?

Obviously not.

If they forced the death of Xiang Zhan, the foundations of the Xiang family would be destroyed, and this was not something he, as clan leader, could undermine.

Anyone who dared to challenge this, he would have to destroy.

So he had no choice.

Xiang Qian immediately took a deep breath and stood up from the ground, saluting the ancestor Xiang Zhan: "Old ancestor, previously we were unaware that he was a descendant of the Medical Saint. Had we known earlier, how could we, the Xiang clan, behave as ungrateful people."

"Let this matter end here, no one is allowed to mention it again."

After speaking, Xiang Qian looked at Xiang Zhan, obviously waiting for the old ancestor to speak; after all, this matter involved him.

"Young man, whether you agree or not, it's up to you. If you think this matter should end like this, I will see you off; if you are not satisfied, then feel free to speak."

"Even though I'm just an old man now, in this Ancestral Hall, my words carry some weight. Those few brats who upset you, my family's discipline is not to be trifled with."

Xiang Zhan turned his head to look at Li Feng.

This matter, Xiang Zhan understood, if Li Feng weren't a descendant of the Medical Saint, he definitely wouldn't have said this, then of course the priority would be the Xiang family.

Blocking the road of the Xiang family, then it's reasonable to ask you to die as well.

But if Li Feng is the descendant of the Medical Saint, and the Xiang family owes them a life debt, then it's the Xiang family's fault. Should anything happen to Li Feng, it would be the Xiang family repaying kindness with enmity, killing the grandson of their savior.

Xiang Zhan would have to atone with his life, otherwise, the honor and loyalty of the Xiang family would be nothing but waste paper.

"You really want me to decide?"

Li Feng squinted and said.

"Mm."

"Today, no matter what you decide, I will make sure you are satisfied. Even if you want to take out those Xiang clan juniors who want to kill you, I'll fulfill your wish."

Xiang Zhan said.

The Xiang clan leader and clan elders present heard Xiang Zhan's words, and internally they grumbled, casting side glances at Li Feng.

This kid better not be ungrateful, failing to understand good advice.

"Old Xiang, you're not being very honest. If I really wanted to take out those great-grandsons and great-great-grandsons of yours, wouldn't that make me appear reckless?"

"Moreover, if I really wanted to do that, I wouldn't have just broken one leg and sent them back."

"But since you insist on letting me speak, I will say a couple of things."

Li Feng wasn't polite; he didn't come to the Xiang family to smooth things over. After speaking, Li Feng turned and looked at Xiang Qian.

"Clan Leader Xiang."

"I came to solve problems, not to create enmity. However, there are some things you seem unaware of.

"Wanting to kill me isn't just because I'm blocking the way, right? It's because someone from your Xiang clan has been collaborating with others, seeing me as an eyesore, and thus sent people to eliminate me."

"Isn't that right, you two?"

Li Feng turned his head to look at the great elder and the third elder.

"If we go by what Clan Leader Xiang just said, to keep the peace, let bygones be bygones."

"Heh, you wouldn't think this settles the life-saving debt to my grandfather, would you? This isn't how this account is settled."

"Your Xiang family tried to kill me, how is it now that it sounds like I killed your Xiang family members and you're forgiving me!"
