When Yun Che landed in Phoenix City, Feng Zukui, Feng Tianwei, and Feng Hengkong, the three generations of Divine Phoenix Emperors, were standing there discussing something. Sensing Yun Che’s presence, they turned around at the same time, and the expressions on their faces were all the same... They all smiled faintly.
“Che’er, you’ve arrived just in time. The banquet will begin in a little while.” Feng Hengkong said with a smile, “The Supreme Ocean Palace and the Sun Moon Palace have already arrived, and they are all Holy Lords themselves. Just now, a message came to report that the Imperial Holy Land and the Heavenly Mighty Sword Domain have also arrived in Shenhuang City, and will soon be in Phoenix City. This face is greater than heaven in the Profound Sky Continent.”
“Alas,” Feng Zukui sighed, and then a faint smile appeared on his face again: “All the grudges in the past have gone with the wind. Xue’er carries the future of our Phoenix Divine Sect, and she also has deep feelings for you. I only ask that you treat her well in the future.”
“I dare not guarantee or make false statements about other matters.” Yun Che said sternly, “But Xue’er, I will never betray her in my entire life. Master of Phoenix Sect, where is Xue’er now?”
“Haha, you’re still calling me Phoenix Sect Master at this time. You should change your address to Father.” Feng Tianwei said with a smile.
"It doesn't matter. How to address him is just an insignificant matter." Feng Hengkong said hurriedly, a slight embarrassment flashing across his eyes. Half a year ago in Cangfeng Imperial City, Yun Che told him in a cold tone that even after being with Xue'er, he would never address him as "Father" for the rest of his life. Because he would never forget who killed Cang Yue's biological father!
“Xue’er is in Fengyin Pavilion. Qixian, take Palace Master Yun to Fengyin Pavilion.” Feng Hengkong ordered.
“Yes, Sect Master.” The female Phoenix disciple called “Seven Strings” stepped forward and respectfully led the way for Yun Che.
"Tianwei Sword Domain Sword Master Xuanyuan Wentian, Young Sword Master Xuanyuan Wendao have arrived!"
A shout that was obviously several pitches higher was heard. After the Supreme Ocean Palace and the Sun Moon Divine Palace, the Tianwei Sword Domain had also arrived. However, it seemed that only the Sword Master and his son had arrived.
"It's Mighty Heavenly Sword Region. Father, grandfather, I will go to greet the guests first." Feng Hengkong left quickly. Other guests could be received by the elders under his command, but when the Holy Land came, he would naturally greet them personally.
In Phoenix City, the most central place is the Phoenix Hall in the center, but in the minds of all Phoenix disciples, Fengyin Pavilion is the real "holy place" of the entire Phoenix City, because this is the boudoir of Feng Xue'er after she left the Phoenix God. However, all Phoenix disciples, including the princes, can only occasionally watch from afar, and there is almost no chance to get close. Being allowed to enter... is absolutely impossible.
Entering Fengyin Pavilion, Feng Xue'er was sitting in front of the mirror, with a nervous blush on her snowy face. Seeing Yun Che approaching through the mirror, she turned around in surprise: "Brother Yun!"
The bright red palace skirt was decorated with phoenix patterns, and the pure jade belt lightly tied her slender waist. Her long hair was loose and leisurely, and a light purple flower was pinned diagonally. Her skin was as soft as warm jade, and her lips were red without any makeup, delicate and beautiful.
No matter when, Feng Xue'er was always so flawless and looked like a fairy even without makeup.
Shuli's beautiful face has lost some of its immature youthfulness, and has gained a touch of charm. Although it is only a little bit, it is enough to seduce the soul. Especially the pair of eyes that are like starlight and the vast ocean, and a smile that can fascinate the world.
That year when he fell from Fengjue Cliff, that dreamlike glimpse before he lost consciousness, those beautiful eyes had been firmly imprinted in his heart and soul, and would never fade away.
Yun Che's heart was like a pond of water in the breeze, rippling with waves. He took a few steps forward and gently held Feng Xue'er in his arms, his fingers almost uncontrollably caressing her snow-white neck - the material of her phoenix clothes was delicate and smooth, but it was far inferior to her exposed snow-white skin, which still flowed with crystal clear jade light even in the dim Fengyin Pavilion.
“Xue’er, after the engagement, I will take you to meet my parents, okay?” Yun Che said softly.
“Hmm…” Feng Xue’er responded softly. Although they had only been apart for a dozen days, her longing for him grew day by day.
Outside the main hall of the palace, Tianwei Sword Domain arrived, and there were indeed only Xuanyuan Wentian and his son Xuanyuan Wendao.
In the nineteen days, Xuanyuan Wentian's right arm injury had healed. He was usually arrogant and never took anyone seriously, but today he seemed particularly humble and respectful. Facing Feng Hengkong's greeting, he almost returned the greeting simultaneously. Xuanyuan Wentian was even more thorough. Not only did he lose his usual domineering arrogance, but his eyes, which kept scanning the surroundings, also showed a hint of fear and uneasiness.
After a brief greeting, Xuanyuan Wentian personally presented the gift and suddenly lowered his voice and asked, “Phoenix Sect Master, I wonder where your son-in-law, Palace Master Yun, is now?”
Feng Hengkong's eyes moved, and he said, "Che'er is now in Fengyin Pavilion with my daughter, and will enter the palace soon. Does Xuanyuan Sword Master have any instructions?"
“I don’t take your orders.” Xuanyuan Wentian said hurriedly. He glanced at Xuanyuan Wentian and continued, “I do have something to ask. I have an important matter and hope to have a private talk with Palace Master Yun. I wonder if that is possible…”
Feng Hengkong hesitated for a moment: "This..."
“Alas, to be honest.” Xuanyuan Wentian sighed, “The Phoenix Sect Master also witnessed the events of the Devil Sword Conference. Now, the lives of my father and I are in the hands of your son-in-law. Today is an extremely rare opportunity for reconciliation. If the Phoenix Sect Master does not help, I am afraid that the ten thousand year foundation of my Tianwei Sword Region will be destroyed in my hands, and I, Xuanyuan Wentian, will become the eternal sinner of the Sword Region… I hope that the Phoenix Sect Master will help me. My father and I will be grateful.”
After saying this, he bowed deeply to Feng Hengkong.
In the past, Xuanyuan Wentian would never be so humble and polite in front of Feng Hengkong, and bowing to him was something he would never dare to dream of. But now, it was all truly presented in front of him.
The dignified Sword Master of the Sword Domain, one of the four great saint masters of Tianxuan, was begging him with soft words and bowing to him... Feng Hengkong felt dazed for a moment, and his body felt a little dizzy. He almost suspected that he was in a dream. The vanity and pride in his heart were unprecedented. He hurriedly stepped forward to hold Xuanyuan Wentian's arms and said, "Sword Master Xuanyuan, such a great gift, Hengkong cannot accept it... In this case, Young Sword Master, please follow me."
"Thank you, Master Phoenix, for your help."
Xuanyuan Wentian thanked him, then stood there, watching Xuanyuan Wentian leave with Feng Hengkong... Gradually, his eyes and face were covered with a layer of extremely heavy haze.
Although he felt endless resentment and unwillingness, he was very clear that what he had just said was not an exaggeration at all… The lives of their father and son, as well as the fate of Mighty Heavenly Sword Region, were all in Yun Che’s hands.
Their only choice now is to live...even if it means losing all their dignity!
Because only when you are alive can you have a chance!
He turned around and looked at Feng Ximing beside him. When their eyes met, Feng Ximing lowered his head as if he had received an electric shock, and his whole body shuddered.
Feng Hengkong and Xuanyuan Wendao had just approached Fengyin Pavilion when they saw Yun Che and Feng Xue'er walking side by side. It looked like they were heading to the main hall. He quickly stepped forward and said, "Che'er, Young Sword Master Xuanyuan has something to discuss with you alone. What do you think..."
"Oh?" Yun Che looked at Xuanyuan and asked. Xuanyuan asked why he was looking for him. He knew it very well and smiled faintly: "In that case, let's listen to what he has to say. Xue'er, you wait here for me, it will be there soon."
Yun Che strode forward with a smile on his face, and shouted loudly from a distance: “So it’s Young Sword Master Xuanyuan. I wonder what you want from me, Yun Che?”
Fengyin Pavilion is the quietest place in Phoenix City. Xuanyuan Wendao glanced around and didn't see any Phoenix disciples around. He felt relieved and quickly forced a smile that could almost be called flattering: "Palace Master Yun, Wendao came here this time, first, to congratulate you and Princess Xue on your marriage, and second, to... to apologize."
“Apologize?” Yun Che narrowed his eyes slightly.
Xuanyuan Wendao gritted his teeth and said, "My father and Wendao repeatedly offended me in the Sea Palace a few days ago, and almost put Palace Master Yun in danger. It was simply... simply blind and stupid. My father and Wendao have regretted it so much these days. I only hope that Palace Master Yun will not bear grudges and will not treat us 'villains' in the same light... My father and Wendao will definitely remember your kindness. From now on, Palace Master Yun will ask for anything, and Tianwei Sword Domain will be at your disposal."
“…” Yun Che was silent for a while. Xuanyuan Wendao’s words were extremely humble. If the world heard them, they would never believe that they came from the mouth of the Holy Land.
“Young Sword Master Xuanyuan, you are too kind.” Yun Che replied calmly.
Xuanyuan Wendao's body was shaking, because he was trampling on his dignity for half a lifetime with his own words: "In addition to that day in the Supreme Ocean Palace, my father and Wendao had also committed many offenses and... sins against Palace Master Yun's family many years ago..."
“Many years ago?” Yun Che’s brows sank slightly, and his voice became slightly colder: “Young Sword Master Xuanyuan, what do you mean by this? Why don’t I understand?”
Although he didn’t expose the truth, Xuanyuan Wendao knew that Yun Che must have known it. He didn’t dare to say it on his own initiative. He lowered his head and said with all his strength, “Palace Master Yun must have heard this saying… Living people are always more useful than dead people! The death of my father and I can indeed vent our anger… But if we are kept alive, we can definitely do more for you.”
Yun Che: “…”
"I have said everything I wanted to say. I believe that with Palace Master Yun's intelligence and tolerance, he must have already made up his mind. I will not... I will not bother you any more. If there is anything I can do for you in the future, Palace Master Yun can just give me instructions. I will do my best to satisfy you..."
Xuanyuan Wentian said, took two steps back, and then walked away quickly with his head down. Yun Che stared at his back, his brows slightly furrowed... Xuanyuan Wentian was afraid of death, which could be seen on the Sea God Platform in the Sea Palace that day. But his realm of "being able to bend and stretch" was not to this extent. Behind this, it was obviously Xuanyuan Wentian's "teachings".
“Brother Yun,” Feng Xue’er walked over, gently holding Yun Che’s arm, and said with a smile, “You are so powerful. Even the Young Sword Master of Mighty Heavenly Sword Region is so scared in front of you.”
Although he didn't hear what they were saying, he could clearly see Xuanyuan's timid look when he asked.
“He’s not afraid of me.” Yun Che shook his head and said with a smile: “He’s afraid of my master. As for me, I’m just a fox relying on the power of the tiger… When I can use my own strength to make them not hesitate to compromise their dignity and ‘wag their tails and beg for mercy’, you can praise me again.”
“Hehe, Brother Yun is so capable, that day will not be too far away. By the way, is Brother Yun’s master here today as well?” Feng Xue’er asked. Her mood today was as beautiful as the phoenix flowers blooming in her courtyard.
“Yes, but she likes quietness, so she probably won’t show up, but she might peek at us from somewhere.” Yun Che said with a smile, but thinking of the vague abnormal feeling that Jasmine had today, he felt a little heavy in his heart.
As the morning approached nine o'clock, Yun Che and Feng Xue'er walked side by side towards the Phoenix Hall.
"The Holy Emperor of the Holy Land, Huangji Wuyu, has brought with him the Immortal of Pain, the Immortal of Absolute Heart, the Immortal of Nine Sighs, the Immortal of Seven Commandments, the Immortal of Ancient Blue... a total of fourteen distinguished guests have arrived!"
The Royal Holy Land finally arrived, and the lineup was equally stunning. Not only did the Holy Emperor come in person, but twelve of the thirteen people he brought with him were all present, and the other one was Xia Yuanba.
Even the elders of the Royal Holy Land were not qualified to be brought to this engagement banquet.
