"Dad, you knew all along?"
Su Shisan looked at Su Xiangyang in surprise and asked.
"Not exactly." Su Xiangyang shook his head slightly and said, "At first, I thought the same as you, thinking Feng Shao was a disciple of the Ancient Divine Sect. But after I learned of Yao Qinghe’s name, I suspected Feng Shao’s background was not simple."
"Although the Su Family’s power isn’t strong, its enterprise spans the Cultivation Realm. Over the years, through travels far and wide, I’ve never heard of the surname Yao, except for the Medicine God Hall."
"Yao Qinghe is not only a Sixth Grade Alchemist but also very powerful, possessing a secret technique to enhance strength, which isn’t something that a major force can cultivate."
"The respect Yao Qinghe and the others show towards Feng Shao, even requiring late-stage tribulation cultivators to respectfully call him Feng Shao, makes it easy to guess that Feng Shao comes from the Medicine God Hall and holds an extraordinary status."
"On this point, I’m sure Manager Xiao knows better than us."
Xiao Hanfeng nodded and smiled, "The Patriarch of the Su Family guessed right, Feng Shao is indeed from the Medicine God Hall."
Xiao Hanfeng’s confidence showed he had already figured something out.
"It turns out to be true." Su Shisan was overjoyed and shocked, and then he speculated, "Manager Xiao, could Feng Shao be the young master of the Medicine God Hall?"
"Feng Shao is not the young master." Xiao Hanfeng shook his head, "The Medicine God Hall has no young master, but Feng Shao has an even greater background, though I cannot say for now. You may have a chance to know in the future."
"What? Greater background?" Su Xiangyang and Su Shisan were astonished, eyes bulging.
The realization that Gu Chenfeng was from the Medicine God Hall had already shocked them deeply.
But Xiao Hanfeng said Gu Chenfeng had an even greater background, which was unimaginable to them.
Xiao Hanfeng changed the subject with a laugh, "Patriarch of the Su Family, did the Profound Soul Bodhi Pill truly come from your family’s alchemist?"
Upon hearing Xiao Hanfeng’s skeptical inquiry, Su Xiangyang knew he couldn’t hide it, and with a slight smile, he said, "Truthfully to Manager Xiao, the Profound Soul Bodhi Pill was indeed refined by our family’s alchemist, but only under Feng Shao’s guidance."
"Oh? Feng Shao’s guidance?" Xiao Hanfeng was very surprised.
"Yes." Su Xiangyang nodded with a smile, "Before this, Feng Shao had already given the pill formula and refining technique to our Su Family, but unfortunately, the two alchemists couldn’t refine it."
"The refining of the Profound Soul Bodhi Pill is extremely challenging. Thanks to Feng Shao’s guidance, the two elders succeeded, all thanks to Shisan. Were it not for him befriending Feng Shao, the Su Family wouldn’t have today."
"Honestly, I didn’t anticipate any of this."
"Indeed." Su Shisan boasted proudly.
"I see." Xiao Hanfeng nodded.
Looking at the proud Su Shisan, Xiao Hanfeng laughed, "You’re a lucky fellow; in short, you’re set for life now."
"But Feng Shao is right, your strength is really too weak. If you want to stay with Feng Shao going forward, you must diligently cultivate and not miss out on this great opportunity that others don’t have."
Su Shisan nodded repeatedly, "Manager Xiao, rest assured, I will definitely change my lazy habits and work hard in cultivation."
Although Su Shisan was arrogant and domineering, he wasn’t foolish.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have shamelessly tried to ingratiate himself with Gu Chenfeng back then.
"That’s good. Farewell." Xiao Hanfeng nodded and then swiftly left.
"Shisan, you’ve made great contributions to the Su Family this time." Su Xiangyang happily laughed, "You’ve befriended Feng Shao, giving the Su Family a powerful backing. I can now safely pass the position of patriarch to you."
"I’m not interested in that right now, keep it for yourself." Su Shisan waved dismissively, walking away with disdain.
Su Xiangyang instantly flew into a rage, "You ungrateful brat! See if I won’t break your legs!"
Artifact Refining Pavilion.
After returning, Xiao Hanfeng immediately took out a black scroll, eagerly opening it.
Upon opening the scroll, Xiao Hanfeng saw five words, followed by a surge of immense imposing pressure.
Xiao Hanfeng was stunned, instantly subdued and immobilized by the pressure.
Fortunately, the terrifying pressure vanished in an instant.
"Such formidable pressure!" Xiao Hanfeng was terribly shocked, his soul nearly fled.
When Xiao Hanfeng saw the five large words on the scroll, his expression changed drastically.
The scroll had ’Ancient Patriarch Gu Chenfeng’ written on it.
These five words carried terrifying soul power, and the earlier overwhelming pressure had emanated from them.
"Ancient Patriarch Gu Chenfeng!" Xiao Hanfeng suddenly rejoiced, "Just as I suspected, he truly is the Medicine God Hall’s ancient patriarch!"
"After many years, the ancient patriarch of the Medicine God Hall has finally returned. Though I don’t know why the patriarch has changed appearance, if the Medicine God Hall claims he is the patriarch, then he is!"
"The return of the Medicine God Hall’s patriarch signifies their emergence, and means salvation for the pavilion master and elders! Wonderful! Just wonderful!"
Xiao Hanfeng grew more thrilled with his thoughts, as excited as a child.
With great effort to contain his joy, Xiao Hanfeng immediately ordered, "Jinghong! You are to immediately take the scroll to the Demon God Race and inform the pavilion master and elders that the Medicine God Hall’s patriarch has returned!"
"The Medicine God Hall’s patriarch has returned?" Jinghong’s shocked voice echoed in the hall.
"Indeed!" Xiao Hanfeng said excitedly, "Go quickly!"
"Understood!" Jinghong respectfully accepted the order. Discover more novels at N0velFire.ɴet
In the luxurious hall.
"I’ll beat you to death, you beast! Why did you provoke anyone, let alone Gu Chenfeng! You’ve caused us all nothing but grief, you beast!"
Ouyang Jingyuan cursed non-stop while beating Ouyang Chu, wishing he could beat him to death.
"Dad, stop hitting me, stop hitting me, I’ll die if you keep this up. I didn’t know his background was so terrifying." Ouyang Chu cried out, his face battered and bruised.
"Brother Ouyang, stop beating him; it won’t help even if you kill him." The Patriarch of the Nangong Family said in panic, "The Su Family won’t let us off lightly; Su Xiangyang is sure to destroy our three families. We need to figure something out quickly."
Suppressing his rage, Ouyang Jingyuan said gravely, "You all heard earlier, that late-stage tribulation cultivator is now backing the Su Family, and the Artifact Refining Pavilion is also siding with them; what else can we do?"
"Ah..." The elders sighed and shook their heads.
They had already gravely offended the Su Family, what could possibly reverse it now?
"At this point, our only option is to go to the Su Family and plead for mercy." The Lin Patriarch said anxiously, "Other than begging, there’s no other way. The sooner we go, the more it shows our sincerity. Hopefully, the Su Family will spare us."
"Right, right." The Nangong Patriarch nodded repeatedly, "We must go to the Su Family right away to beg for mercy, hoping Su Xiangyang will spare us for the sake of past relationships."
"Beg for mercy?" Ouyang Jingyuan’s face turned exceptionally gloomy; clearly, he resented the idea.
"Dad, staying alive is above all else; go beg for mercy." Ouyang Chu cried, "Otherwise, we’re all dead! Do you have the heart to watch the Ouyang Family be annihilated?"
