Chapter 93
We should be grateful to such a large group of people for living and eating here for free.
A drop of water should be repaid with a spring; a spring of kindness cannot be repaid.
"Yunyun, we are going to find City Lord Feng." Cangran was thinking about what he had not yet fulfilled his promise to Feng Yuxie. Seeing that the challenge was approaching, he had to find him immediately to discuss how to invite Feng Lingtian. Even if Feng Lingtian didn't want to see him, he had to make an effort.
"Yeah." Xia Lingjun nodded and said, "Yan, Mengbao, Mijia, you guys stay here first. Cangran and I will be back soon."
"Xia'er, go soon and come back soon." His flame-green eyes were full of pity and love. He would definitely say those three words to her. Love should be said out loud, no matter Xia'er accepts it or not, he would say it.
…
Xia Lingjun and Cangran were afraid of being rejected again because they had been rejected once. This time they had the experience and informed the bamboo man first. The bamboo man had a gloomy face and said expressionlessly: "Mr. Yun, Miss Xia, the city lord wants to see you two." Xia Lingjun raised her eyes and saw that the bamboo man's eyes were obviously red, as if he had been crying, and they were swollen.
The house was spacious, with a hall as big as three rooms without any partitions. There was a large rectangular mahogany desk on the place, on which were placed various calligraphy stickers, dozens of precious inkstones, and various brushes in pen holders. There was also a Ru kiln vase with a beauty arc on the desk, on which was inserted pure green plants. A huge super screen was hung on the wall in the middle, and opposite the screen was a three-seater mahogany sofa. In the middle of the sofa stood an exquisite coffee table carved with a phoenix pattern. On the coffee table stood a cup of tea, with smoke curling up and the fragrance of tea filling the air.
Feng Yuxie saw Cangran and Xia Lingjun walk in, and he couldn't help but stand up from the sofa and greet them: "Mr. Yun, you're awake? When did you wake up?"
Cangran's face flushed slightly. Thinking of the process of waking up, he was extremely excited. Phew... It would be nice if Yunyun woke him up like this every day. In fact, he only blushed inwardly. His face was pale anyway, so others couldn't see it. He smiled and said, "Thank you, City Lord Feng, for your concern. I'm fine now. I rushed here to you as soon as I woke up."
"Please take a seat!" Feng Yuxie greeted them politely, then sat down and personally poured tea for them.
Xia Lingjun carefully forgot about the past, but found that Feng Yuxie looked tired, and even the color of his lips was much lighter. He looked as if he had just experienced a battle and was exhausted.
"City Lord Feng, I heard from Yan that you searched almost the entire city for me. I need no thanks for your kindness. If you need me, Xia Lingjun, in the future, please let me know. I will never say a word." Xia Lingjun vowed.
"Miss Xia is truly a heroine, quick-witted and outspoken." Feng Yuxie's gentle voice sounded softly. He raised his eyes, and a tenderness condensed in his amber eyes. The warm voice and smiling eyes immediately shone on Xia Lingjun. Xia Lingjun smiled back. This man made her feel very comfortable, very comfortable, as if her face was in the clouds and basking in the afterglow of the sun. It was so warm that it didn't seem real.
"Yunyun has always been this straightforward." Cangran smiled and held Xia Lingyun's hand. "Last time, City Lord Feng mentioned your father. I wonder if I can go meet Mr. Feng now."
"What Mr. Feng?" Xia Lingjun asked doubtfully, looking at Cangran and then at Feng Yuxie, "Are you two hiding a secret from me?"
Feng Yuxie smiled calmly, as warm as the sun in winter. "To be honest, Miss Xia, I would like to ask Mr. Yun to ask my father to come out of retirement."
Xia Lingjun expressed her confusion. Did Cangran need to ask his own father to come out of retirement? After all, a biological son is infinitely closer than an outsider like Cangran, right? Ugh! This City Lord Feng is great in every way, except for his flowery speech, like a goddamn ancient person. It's so tiring to communicate with him!
Seeing Xia Lingjun's expression of no doubt, Feng Yuxie smiled and explained, "My father once said that whoever receives his Purple Jade Seal and returns to him with it in the future will be granted a condition. Of course, this condition must not involve life or death, and must not violate human ethics or morality."
Feng Lingtian made such a rule because he was afraid that his good friend, who was so disgusting and shameless, would do something disgusting and ask him for help. A disgusting grandfather should also have disgusting grandsons. It was really far-sighted of him to make such a rule, and he had to do it out of necessity!
The thought of his best friend tragically dying during the upgrade process made his heart ache. Damn! He didn't want to be like his best friend, who was distracted during the upgrade process and died suddenly. He was dedicated to his work and had no distractions. He chose to retreat because he was afraid of following in his best friend's footsteps.
Of course, out of his deep longing for his good friend, he would definitely meet Cang Ran. Feng Yuxie knew this better than anyone else.
Feng Yuxie wasn't afraid of Feng Ming stealing the throne of City Lord. The problem was that Feng Ming had a perverse and rebellious personality since childhood, a dark and vicious mind, and acted entirely based on personal preferences. He would praise anything he liked to the skies, but in the blink of an eye, if he disliked it, he would do whatever it took to destroy it. If he became the hidden City Lord, Phoenix City would soon become a living hell. He didn't want the hard work of his ancestors to be destroyed in his own generation.
Back then, his father made Feng Ming, who was more capable than himself, swear a solemn oath that he would never compete for the city lord's throne. A big part of the reason was because Feng Ming's personality was not suitable for being the lord of a city. Although Feng Ming had many faults, he had one good thing, which was that he kept his promises. He would not break his promises even if it was only on the surface. So he cultivated others to do it, and he did not do it himself, which did not count as a violation of his promise to the old man.
What's more, he was still afraid of the old man, because if he didn't keep his promise, the old man would most likely come out and kill him. He always thought that the old man liked Feng Yuyu but not him.
We're both sons, so why? Why did Feng Yuxie get all the attention, the old man's love and care, while he could only hide in the dark corners, hoping for a glance from the old man. He did all sorts of things to get the old man's attention, but all he got was a few slaps and punches. Once, he nearly killed him, and from then on, he left Fengyuan. Damn! With his strength, he could do whatever he wanted in Phoenix City.
The old man and Feng Yuyu had upset him, so he'd pay them back double. For all his actions over the years, the old man must have paid no mind. He was busy leveling up, so how could he have the time to bother with his unpleasant youngest son? He couldn't beat the old man, so he'd just deal with Feng Yuxie. He wanted to see how the old man would feel when he leveled up and saw his beloved eldest son die. He also wanted to see if the old man would have the heart to kill him. Humph! He wasn't afraid of killing him; he'd feel good after making them suffer.
Of course, Feng Yuxie would not mention these things to Cangran and Xia Lingjun. He just described them briefly.
"Oh..." Cangran felt as if he was suddenly enlightened. No wonder Feng Yuyu wanted to find him. It seemed that the old man had gone crazy in seclusion and didn't care about his son's life or death. He was only thinking about increasing his energy. If he didn't have the purple jade seal, he would have to keep his promise. I'm afraid I wouldn't even see a hair of him.
Xia Lingjun was confused by what she heard, but finally found a clue. In short, Feng Yuxie asked Cangran to invite Feng Lingtian. Feng Lingtian owed Cangran a promise. Feng Lingtian stepped in to resolve the fight between the brothers so that Phoenix City could continue to live in peace.
Xia Lingjun was actually quite curious about who exactly this Feng Lingtian was. Damn! Ninth level, eighth stage! Pfft… Such a high level was truly rarer than a giant panda. Although she had met Yun Zhou, that old man was so shabby that she felt Yun Zhou didn't even look like a ninth level, eighth stage expert. Furthermore, Yun Zhou was dead, leaving behind only a spiritual force. So, she had never seen a true ninth level, eighth stage expert. Pfft… She wondered if Cang Ran could even summon this mythical figure.
——
Phoenix Mountain has beautiful scenery. Far away from the haze and confusion of Phoenix City, it is full of vitality. Exotic flowers and plants grow everywhere, and the whole mountain is lush and green.
Here, you can actually see the same blue sky and white clouds as in the ruins forest.
It turns out that there is such a good place in Phoenix City. No wonder Feng Lingtian chose to upgrade here. It is indeed a good mountain with a beautiful ecological environment, which is very suitable for upgrading.
A gentle breeze blew, and mist rose from the mountaintop, creating a fairyland-like scene. Xia Lingjun was about to ascend the mountain when she heard Feng Yuxie's warm voice behind her, "Miss Xia, my father will only see those sealed in purple jade. You and I must remain at the foot of the mountain."
"Yunyun, you and City Lord Feng wait for me at the foot of the mountain." Cangran shook Xia Lingyun's hand.
"Cang Ran..." Xia Lingjun called out softly, then turned around and asked Feng Yuxie, "City Lord Feng, is there any danger here?"
Feng Yuxie shook his head and said, "There will be no danger, Miss Xia, please rest assured! No one except my father dares to enter this place, and my father will never harm anyone sealed by the purple jade."
Xia Lingjun wanted to say something else, but she saw Feng Yuxie's warm amber eyes. Those eyes gave her a sense of stability and strength. For some reason, she chose to believe him.
Cangran's hands were very cold, and they felt cool and soft when held in Xia Lingyun's. He smiled dotingly and put his hands on her shoulders. She snuggled quietly in his arms, and he whispered, "Yunyun, don't worry, I will be fine."
"Yeah, I'm not worried." Xia Lingjun nodded in his arms, then suddenly reached out and punched him hard. "If you don't die and come back, I'll immediately find a second or third love."
Pfft... Cang Ran chuckled, hugged her tightly, and whispered softly in her ear: "Looking for Erchun and Sanchun, I'm afraid you won't be too busy by then."
