After hearing Ye Qingchen's words, Feng Yuan flinched and fearfully hid behind Xia Chengkai. Meanwhile, Feng Xiao's expression changed drastically as he roared at his son, "You scoundrel! How dare you do something so despicable! Apologize to Mr. Ye this instant!"
How could Feng Xiao not know his own son's character? He must have failed to win the formation flags at the auction and decided to rob Ye Qingchen at the entrance of the First-Rate Pavilion, only to be outmatched and beaten to the ground. The more Feng Xiao thought about it, the angrier he became. He was itching to discipline his disgraceful son right then and there.
Ultimately, he relented only after Xia Chengkai's persuasion, though he still insisted that Feng Yuan apologize to Ye Qingchen.
Left with no choice, Feng Yuan perfunctorily clasped his hands toward Ye Qingchen and muttered, "I was wrong!"
