“Yichen, you don’t need to be so anxious. Since the Patriarch has already agreed, there will naturally be an opportunity.” Feng Lingzun appeared to be wary of something, his words carrying some hint of evasion.
“Ouyang Haotian is currently in the Feng Family as well, isn’t he?” However, Qin Yichen’s attitude remained uncompromising, and he instead asked this question.
Seeing him get to the point, Feng Lingzun nodded with some embarrassment.
After all, Feng Qianxue and Ouyang Haotian were technically engaged. Ouyang Haotian visiting the Feng Family was a common occurrence.
However, if Ouyang Haotian was there and Qin Yichen went as well, the situation would become quite awkward.
“Take me there then.” After learning of this matter, Qin Yichen drew in a deep breath and said, his tone carrying an authority that brooked no refusal.
He knew that Ouyang Haotian would certainly act desperately when cornered, which made him even more anxious!
Seeing Qin Yichen’s resolute attitude, Feng Lingzun’s expression showed difficulty. Finally, he sighed softly and said. “Let me ask the Patriarch.”
…
In the private room.
Feng Lingzun sighed softly.
Throughout their acquaintance, Qin Yichen had always shown himself to be modest and reasonable, so Qin Yichen’s forceful tone just now left him puzzled. [Why is he acting like that?]
However, he could not see the anxiety on Qin Yichen’s face. [Is he afraid that Feng Qianxue would be stolen away?]
Feng Lingzun shook his head, not continuing that line of thought, and once again connected to the Feng Family.
“I wish to see the Patriarch.” As soon as the Array lit up, Feng Lingzun spoke.
Hearing his tone, the Thirteenth Elder immediately disappeared. After a moment, Feng Wentian’s image manifested.
“Patriarch.” Seeing Feng Wentian’s image, Feng Lingzun bowed respectfully.
“Qin Yichen wishes to come to the Feng Family to see Feng Qianxue.” Feng Lingzun did not delay, directly stating this troublesome matter.
After his words fell, Feng Wentian on the other side frowned, and for a moment, the private room fell into silence.
“You didn’t tell him that Ouyang Haotian is here?” After a while, Feng Wentian’s voice came, his tone so calm that one could not discern his emotions.
“I told him, but looking at his expression, it seemed as though he had some important matter.” Feng Lingzun hastily replied. From what he knew, Qin Yichen’s attitude had always been quite friendly, never showing such determination and unwillingness to compromise as today.
“Bring him here then.” After pondering briefly, Feng Wentian’s voice sounded again, and then the image slowly dissipated.
For some reason, hearing Feng Wentian’s agreement, Feng Lingzun felt relieved.
The situation he had worried about had not occurred.
He actually did not want the Feng Family to fall out with Qin Yichen.
Although Qin Yichen had already given the Extreme Emperor Transformation Pill Formula to the Feng Family, his ability to so easily provide such an important Pill Formula could only indicate one thing: Qin Yichen possessed even better Pill Formulas!
This could be seen from Qin Yichen’s endless array of Alchemy Techniques.
After leaving the private room, Feng Lingzun did not conceal anything and directly agreed to Qin Yichen’s request.
Afterwards, the two departed without alerting anyone.
The Feng Family was situated between the Heavenly Dragon Imperial Dynasty and the Heavenly Dipper Imperial Dynasty, in a region nearly as vast as what an Alchemy Manor covers. Yet, this land solely served as the Feng Family’s domain.
The Feng Family, this mysterious and powerful Force, maintained a semi-reclusive existence, with inheritance spanning countless years. In the eyes of many in the Imperial Dynasties, this Family was both mysterious and a force to be reckoned with.
So, the territory where the Feng Family resided was a considerable distance from the Heavenly Dragon Imperial City.
When Feng Lingzun had initially come to meet Qin Yichen, utilising a Demonic Beast whose speed rivalled that of a Martial Emperor, he had spent a full three to four days.
For this journey, Qin Yichen rode directly on Gongshu Zhiyi’s wooden bird, and even pushed the speed to its limits. Yet, it took nearly ten days.
*Whoosh!* Above the azure sky, a streak of light shot past like lightning, leaving behind a visible wake of air currents that gradually dispersed.
“At this pace, we should reach the Feng Family by tomorrow.” Observing the preoccupied Qin Yichen, Feng Lingzun broke the silence between them.
“We are finally arriving?” Hearing these words, Qin Yichen exhaled softly, though in his heart, an enchanting face of breathtaking beauty quietly rose, lingering in his mind.
[Qianxue, I’m coming! I’ve waited far too long for this day!]
Before them, mountains rose in succession.
The two proceeded directly towards the mountain range without slowing their pace.
*Hum!*
Suddenly, Feng Lingzun retrieved something from his robes and cast it forward. Immediately, a humming sound resonated, and space rippled like water with visible undulations.
Soon, a world of birdsong and fragrant flowers appeared before them.
In the sky, exotic birds soared, among which one was particularly striking. It was entirely crimson as though wreathed in flames. It was exceedingly magnificent, with flocks of birds playing around it.
On the ground lay seas of flowers, with colourful butterflies dancing, towering ancient trees. Meanwhile, within the forest, Demonic Beasts engaged in combat, creating disturbances abound.
Yet, everything was harmonious, like a celestial land.
The two entered one after another.
After their entry, the rippling space quickly returned to normal. The mountains remained mountains, stones remained stones.
As soon as they entered, several auras rapidly approached their location.
“High Elder!”
Upon seeing Feng Lingzun, they all bowed respectfully.
“En.” Feng Lingzun merely responded indifferently. He turned to glance at Qin Yichen beside him, only to discover that the youth’s face showed no trace of surprise, which startled him.
One must know that no one visiting the Feng Family for the first time could remain so composed.
After all, the things here were not found in the outside world.
Even those seemingly ordinary flowers and plants each possessed unique properties. Otherwise, why would the Feng Family cultivate this sea of flowers? Surely not merely for aesthetics.
The same applied to the beasts.
Whether the flying birds in the sky or the walking beasts on the ground, all were rare species. That bird wreathed in flames possessed Phoenix Bloodline and its strength exceeded the Martial Emperor Realm!
Actually, the mount he rode, Bo, was also one of the creatures here.
“The Patriarch has instructed that when the High Elder returns, you should be brought over immediately.”
After bowing to Feng Lingzun, those people merely glanced indifferently at Qin Yichen without comment and proceeded forward.
Qin Yichen also dismissed his wooden bird and followed behind them at an unhurried pace.
In truth, it was not that the scenery here lacked appeal, but rather that his heart was consumed with anxiety. The thought of Ouyang Haotian being with Feng Qianxue prevented him from finding peace.
