After he said this, he couldn\'t help feeling regret.

This wasn\'t what he meant to say and the way that he had said it had come out wrong.

It was much more aggressive than he had wanted it to sound.

But Feng Ling could only hear the aggression coming from his voice, so she narrowed her eyes as she looked at Feng Huang.

She patted Feng Tian on the head before putting him down and walking back over to Lin Fan\'s side.

The way that she stood there, it was as if she was telling him that she was leaving everything to him. When he saw this, he couldn\'t help revealing a bitter smile.

Still, he said, "I think that this should make things clear how I am related to the Red Phoenix Tribe now."

Feng Huang looked at him with narrowed eyes before saying, "The envoys said that the new crown prince of the Lin Astral Empire said that they hadn\'t seen Feng Ling before. How did you get that crown prince to lie to cover you?"

Lin Fan just calmly said, "No comment."

Feng Huang knitted his brows and was about to ask something else, but Lin Fan suddenly said, "I think that you\'ve mistaken something."

Feng Huang couldn\'t help being taken aback when he heard this. He narrowed his eyes to look at Lin Fan before asking, "What have I mistaken?"

Lin Fan looked right at him before saying in a calm voice, "You\'ve mistaken that you hold any power here. You have no rights to ask any question and are just here to respond to what is asked of you. If you understand this, then there won\'t be a problem, but if you don\'t…"

He left his words hanging, making his intentions very clear.

When Feng Huang heard this, a vein couldn\'t help popping out on his forehead.

He didn\'t know how old this cloaked envoy from the Lin Astral Empire was, but he felt like this envoy shouldn\'t be that old. Or at least he wouldn\'t be old enough to compare to him.

So being spoken down on by what he perceived to be a junior didn\'t sit well with him.

At the same time, this junior was trying to take power from him in the Red Phoenix Tribe, in the Phoenix Race while the Great Elder was here. He couldn\'t understand if he was just stupid or insane.

"You…"

Before Feng Huang could say anymore, he felt a pressure falling on him again that made him swallow his words.

He couldn\'t help turning to look at the Great Elder who had once again pressured him with a confused look.

No matter how he looked at it, the Great Elder should be supporting him over this envoy from the Lin Astral Empire. He was one of the heads of the five tribes of the Phoenix Race and this was an outsider.

But it seemed like the Great Elder was insistent on protecting this envoy.

Lin Fan also saw this and shook his head at the Great Elder.

It was only then that the Great Elder released the pressure that he put on Feng Huang.

When Feng Huang heard this, he couldn\'t help feeling even more shocked.

Why did it seem like the Great Elder was taking orders from this outsider?

That would make even less sense!

As the pressure relieved, Feng Huang couldn\'t help asking another question, "Just who are you?"

But the only answer that he received was silence.

Lin Fan just silently stood there looking at Feng Huang before saying, "What are your plans for Feng Ling?"

Feng Huang couldn\'t help being taken aback when he heard this. He never thought that some random person would question him on how he would treat his daughter.

As he came back to his senses, he couldn\'t help feeling a hint of annoyance.

It was almost as if his parenting skills were being questioned.

He narrowed his eyes to look at Lin Fan before looking over at Feng Ling. Then he said, "I don\'t think it\'s any of your business how I treat my own daughter, is it?"

After he said this to Lin Fan, he said to Feng Ling, "Come back to the tribe and we\'ll talk this over."

He tried to be as gentle as possible as he spoke to Feng Ling, but the annoyance towards Lin Fan in his voice hadn\'t faded yet. It carried over to what he said right now.

Feng Ling couldn\'t help knitting her brows when she heard this.

But for Lin Fan, he couldn\'t help giving a sigh and revealing a bitter smile.

As he interacted with Feng Huang and saw how he spoke to Feng Ling, he could already guess something.

Lin Fan didn\'t suppress Feng Huang with the Great Elder this time. Instead, he turned to Feng Ling and said, "If you don\'t want to stay, you don\'t need to stay."

Feng Ling was surprised to hear this, but she gave a nod in response.

When Feng Huang heard this though, another vein popped out. After all, the words that he said were a clear challenge to what he had said earlier.

He was directly contradicting his request for Feng Ling to come back. That meant that he was directly going against him.

A junior was going against him like this in his own Red Phoenix Tribe?

The problem was that he didn\'t know what would happen if he lost his temper again.

Everything that had happened so far made it clear that he wouldn\'t receive any support from the Great Elder. If he really did something to this envoy, then he might be the one that suffered.

Seeing the difficult look that appeared on his face, Lin Fan decided to push him.

So he turned to look at the Great Elder and asked, "Could the head of the Red Phoenix Tribe be replaced?"

The Great Elder, Feng Huang, Feng Tian, and Feng Ling were all taken aback by Lin Fan\'s bold question.

The Great Elder was about to say something, but then he saw the slight shake of the head that Lin Fan gave. After thinking about it, he decided to go all in on this and see where it led.

So the Great Elder said, "It\'s possible."

These were two simple words, but they had a very strong effect on everyone here.

The Great Elder was giving approval for the change of the Red Phoenix Tribe head.

While it was only verbal approval heard by the people in this room, this still meant something. After all, since one of the Great Elders said this, there was no doubt that it would be enforced if it was ever brought up.

Feng Huang\'s mind started collapsing as he couldn\'t understand what kind of situation he was in right now.

Was he really going to lose his position as the head of the Red Phoenix Tribe just because of the words of some outsider?

That was not something that he could accept after all the years that he had spent serving the Red Phoenix Tribe and the Phoenix Race!

But he knew that he couldn\'t do anything in this situation…

Unless he contacted the other two Great Elders and found out what was happening, then it was impossible for him to make a comeback.

So the only thing that Feng Huang could do here was…look to his daughter for help.

He had wronged her, he recognized this and he had tried to make up for it with his earlier attempts. It was just that he wasn\'t good at doing things like this and it had come out as aggression instead of reconciliation.

But now that he had been pushed to a wall, he had no choice but to ask his daughter for help.

He had seen how close his daughter was with this envoy, so he wanted to use that to reconcile.

It was just too bad that she wasn\'t interested in doing this at all.

When Feng Ling saw Feng Huang looking at her with eyes asking for help, she gave a soft snort and turned her head away.

She looked like she wasn\'t willing to listen to him at all.

Feng Huang\'s expression couldn\'t help twisting a bit when he saw this, but at the same time, there was a bit of disappointment that appeared in his eyes.

It wasn\'t disappointment towards Feng Ling, but disappointment over the fact that their relationship wouldn\'t be the same as before. He knew that once this was over, there was no way for them to return to the way that they were before.

It was like losing a part of him…

But he couldn\'t dwell on that right now…

So instead of being sad over his daughter rejecting him, he focused on solving the predicament that he was facing. He couldn\'t do anything to Lin Fan with the Great Elder here, so all he could do was appeal to the Great Elder.

Feng Huang turned to the Great Elder and said, "Great Elder, you should know about my various contributions to the Red Phoenix Tribe and the Phoenix Race. You should know how much I\'ve given for the prosperity of our Phoenix Race. Can you really listen to an outsider like this and do something like this to me?"

The Great Elder just casually looked at Feng Huang before saying, "Do you even know who he is?"

Feng Huang couldn\'t help revealing a confused look when he heard this.

The Great Elder just ignored this and said, "He is the Void God\'s successor."
