I Cultivate Passively Chapter 261 - Stirred Emotions

Chapter 261 Stirred Emotions

Zhou Feng had been wondering when the Li Clan would find trouble with him. After all, to a certain extent, he had ruined the Li Clan’s reputation.

Such large clans usually cared a lot about their reputation.

However, he did not expect they would only come when he was about to leave Heavenly Star City.

Moreover, they were indirect. It seemed that they were not targeting him but Li Rong.

Although Li Xiang appeared mean and wanted to provoke his anger, Zhou Feng did not even spare her a glance. He only looked at Li Rong.

Li Rong bit her lower lip lightly and then shook her head slightly. It seemed like she was going to bear the humiliation.

Li Xiang observed Li Rong and immediately showed a trace of disdain. She became even more arrogant and continued to threaten Zhou Feng

“I say, does a b.u.mpkin like you know the value of the Crystal Warm Jade?

“If you wear the Crystal Warm Jade and anything happens…” Li Xiang’s appearance really made people very angry. “She is deliberately provoking Zhou Feng!” “I can see it too.”

“If Zhou Feng really made a move under such circ.u.mstances, then it would be natural for Li Xiang to counterattack on the spot!”

Everyone could tell that Li Xiang’s performance was too fake. It was obvious that she was provoking Zhou Feng to attack her.

One had to know that the Li Clan hadn’t attacked Zhou Feng before because his background was too inferior.

The dignified Li Clan deliberately targeting a vagabond cultivator?

If this were to spread, the Li Clan’s reputation would be lost entirely.

Unlike some clans, the Li Clan was still a very traditional aristocratic clan. They basically disdained people who weren’t of the same status.

Previously, Zhou Feng had been so weak that he did not even intend to target the Li Clan.

But now, Zhou Feng had suddenly become the successor of the Human Emperor. If the Li Clan were to make a move now, it would not be considered as bullying the weak.

Simply put, aristocratic clans like the Li Clan were a rare oddity.

No matter what they did, they were very concerned about their status and background.

They would not take the initiative to bully the weak. Attacking the weak was simply an insult to the Li Clan.

This mentality was probably similar to how an elephant would not be angry with an ant.

Of course, if an ant took the initiative to provoke an elephant under normal circ.u.mstances, the elephant would not need to take action personally. The other forces attached to the Li Clan would handle it properly.

Li Rong was aware of this point, so she kept silent. She did not want to give Li Xiang any excuses.

Since Li Rong did not respond, Zhou Feng was naturally not in a hurry. He just watched Li Xiang’s performance indifferently.

Just this level of teasing was not enough to stir up his emotions.

Zhou Feng did not care much about what others thought.

All along, he had always been doing things his way. Everything he did depended entirely on his will and would not be affected by other factors.

Therefore, Zhou Feng let Li Xiang perform there.

He was like a pa.s.serby standing by the roadside and watching a monkey show.

As for Li Rong, she was also used to Zhou Feng’s demeanor. She imitated Zhou Feng and watched Li Xiang perform there without saying a word.

“What’s going on?”

Li Xiang looked at Zhou Feng and Li Rong’s indifferent expressions. Something was wrong with this scenario!

Why did it end like this?

According to her previous a.s.sumption, Zhou Feng should have been humiliated and forced to make a move.

Even if Zhou Feng held back and did not make a move, he should have been furious by now.

This should have caused Li Rong’s emotions to be unstable as well.

This was a little different from what she had expected!

But things had already come to this point, and Li Xiang had no way out.

She had to take back the Crystal Warm Jade! This should be one of the few opportunities to get her hands on the Crystal Warm Jade.

Actually, Li Xiang was behaving like that because of the Crystal Warm Jade on Zhou Feng’s body.

This was originally Li Rong’s personal item. As long as Li Rong was unwilling, no one would be able to s.n.a.t.c.h away the Crystal Warm Jade.

However, by chance, Li Xiang had discovered that Li Rong had given the Crystal Warm Jade to Zhou Feng.

This way, the situation would turn for the better.

s.n.a.t.c.hing the Crystal Warm Jade from Zhou Feng was much easier than s.n.a.t.c.hing it from Li Rong. It was precisely because of this that Li Xiang was so deliberately trying to provoke Zhou Feng.

Then she could carry out the follow-up plan.

But who knew that Zhou Feng wouldn’t fall for this trick at all?

This was too awkward!

Li Xiang had no other choice but to play her next card.

“As expected! You and your seductive mother are the same! You like to give the clan’s things to outsiders!”

Originally, Li Xiang didn’t want to play this card.

Saying such words was very risky because this involved some of the patriarch’s private matters.

Nonetheless, Li Xiang went all out for the sake of obtaining the Crystal Warm Jade.

Sure enough, Li Rong, who had been able to remain silent all this time, almost couldn’t hold herself back when her mother was mentioned.

An ice-cold aura emanated from Li Rong’s body as she glared at Li Xiang.

Li Rong’s mother was a taboo in her heart, and she wouldn’t allow anyone to speak ill of her.

“Say it again?”

Li Rong’s face was ice cold, and the Spiritual Qi within her body surged. “Say it? Don’t tell me you still dare to make a move here?”

Li Xiang’s heart actually relaxed upon seeing Li Rong’s livid expression.

She was most afraid that the enemy wouldn’t react. As long as there was a reaction, everything could be manipulated.

One had to know that Li Xiang hadn’t come alone. She had brought along a few Li clansmen, and they were all Purple Mansion cultivators that had unlocked their innate divine abilities.

Also, this was the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, where no one dared to make a move here.

“Let’s go!” Zhou Feng frowned. Sensing that Li Rong’s emotions were somewhat out of control, he immediately pulled her and left.

Li Xiang had come prepared. Continuing to pester them here was a waste of time.

“As expected of two adulterers! Aren’t you going to hide it now?”

Li Xiang was a little anxious due to Zhou Feng’s actions.

She could not let Li Rong leave now. It was not easy to get Li Rong’s emotions stirred up.

Therefore, Li Xiang’s mouth immediately became poisonous.

She kept calling them adulterers. That mean mouth of hers made people want to take action directly.

However, taking action here was practically an idiotic act.

Many people were watching, and they were at the center of Heavenly Star City. Once they took action, they would only be caught. “I didn’t expect that! To think I would be able to watch such a show!”

“There’s a conflict within the Li Clan? Such a scene is really rare!”

A big fight like this was simply rare.

The people who were originally watching and eating melons did not expect to eat such big melons!
