late at night.
The wealthy patriarch, Feng Yu, bowed respectfully to the person before him. His expression changed from his usual kind and affectionate demeanor to one of solemn reverence. "My lord, I have delivered this batch of spiritual materials as per your message. However, there is still one thing I do not understand."
Feng Rong leaned lazily against the windowsill, her gaze intentionally or unintentionally sweeping over a makeshift dwelling not far away. She casually twirled the wine glass in her hand and said, "Speak."
"With our master here, it's not difficult for my Feng family to awaken our bloodline power. Why go through the trouble of choosing a Heavenly Maiden as our master?" Feng Yu asked, looking conflicted. "Besides, forgive my poor eyesight, but I haven't seen anything outstanding about Heavenly Maiden You."
"Nothing outstanding about her?" Feng Rong chuckled lightly, finally turning back to say, "On her very first contract, she enabled a Nascent Soul cultivator whose lifespan was nearing its end to ascend directly. Tell me... what makes her outstanding?"
"This..." Feng Yu's eyes widened suddenly, his face filled with disbelief, "The rumors are actually true!"
"You don't need to know all the reasons, I know what I'm doing! Just follow my orders!" Feng Rong put down her wine cup, stood up and walked towards the door. After a while, she thought of something and added, "By the way, since I haven't officially named myself yet, from now on I will be Feng Rong, and your son will be called Feng Qi! Remember that?"
"..." Feng Yu froze, his expression becoming even more conflicted, but he still replied, "Yes!"
————————
Ling Qi spent five or six days returning from his trip to the Ni Guang Sect. If he hadn't reported his safety every day via a communication talisman, she would have thought something had happened to him. It turned out that they went there in a small spirit boat, but returned with more than a dozen large spirit boats.
You You was stunned. Before she could ask anything, he and Lin Feng suddenly pulled out more than a dozen storage bags and stuffed them all into her hands. Then, they clasped their hands in a relieved bow and solemnly replied, "My lord, we have fulfilled our mission!"
"These are..." She glanced at the pile of storage bags in her arms, a little confused. Weren't they supposed to be demanding compensation? It felt more like they were robbing someone.
"This is the compensation from the Neon Light Sect to our sect," Ling Qi said seriously. "After all, we are only a third-rate immortal sect, so this is all we can come up with!"
"..." Wait, what's with that regretful tone? She did tell them to seek compensation, but she didn't tell them to ransack the sect! Putting aside what's in those storage bags, those dozen or so spirit boats alone are a bit outrageous.
Her lips twitched, and she couldn't help but look at him and say, "Didn't I tell you to reason with each other and avoid violence if possible?"
“We did not make a move!” Ling Qi said seriously. “It was the Ni Guang Sect that took the initiative to open its mountain gate and welcome us in.”
"Huh? Why are there so many things?" This far exceeded the list she had compiled. "You didn't wipe out the entire Neon Light Sect, did you?"
"A lot...?" Ling Qi was surprised and gave her a look that seemed to say, "Didn't the Venerable One tell us to confiscate it?" "After all, we've already gone to the sect..." Not ceding territory and paying reparations, and having the spiritual veins confiscated, is already a huge loss. Isn't that what the Venerable One meant?
Youyou: "..."
Ling Qi: "..."
It's...so awkward!
In You You's common sense, breaking something and demanding compensation is perfectly normal, usually the original price, at most double. But in Ling Qi's common sense, causing trouble is tantamount to provoking a sect, seeking revenge, annexation, or taking advantage of someone's weakness; of course, he'll take whatever benefits he can get. This unequal perspective leads to completely different outcomes, therefore:
Niguang Sect——Dead!
○|￣|_
Youyou glanced at the pile of storage bags in her hand. Was it too late to return them to the owner?
“My lord need not worry.” Ling Qi said in a deep voice, “The Ni Guang Sect was already on its last legs, and its disintegration was only a matter of time. Our trip here will only help it move faster. If it’s not our sect, it will be someone else. Moreover, Wang Xu’s cultivation has regressed, and another Nascent Soul elder has already left the sect. The disciples have all scattered, and the Ni Guang Sect no longer exists in the world.”
"..." Okay, it seems too late.
Youyou didn't dwell on the question. She looked through the storage bags and found they were full of materials she couldn't understand at all. So she returned them to Ling Qi and told him to handle them as he saw fit. She also introduced them to the Feng family.
With the Feng family joining and the Ni Guang Sect's... oops, I mean, the compensation! The sect's establishment speed increased several times over. Although the disciples' cultivation levels were generally not high, the Feng family had experts! One after another, magnificent palaces rose from the ground in a short time. The entire Floating Peak Group underwent a dramatic transformation, becoming even larger than its original size at Chengtian Pavilion.
Moreover, since the temple was built with spiritual wood, it subtly interacts with the sect's Five Elements Spirit-Attracting Array, making the spiritual energy even more abundant. The entire floating peak group is shrouded in celestial mist, just like a fairyland.
The issue of the sect's address has been resolved, but new problems have arisen.
"Your Excellency, the mountain gate stone has been erected. May I ask what word you wish to inscribe? The name of our sect is..." Feng Yu looked at her expectantly.
Youyou froze, only then belatedly realizing an important question.
It seems they... haven't named their sect yet!
"I haven't thought about that yet! How about... we discuss it now?"
Feng Yu: "..."
Wait, is it really that casual? The sect has already been established, but it hasn't even been named yet!
You You thought about it and realized this was a big deal, so she quickly called Ling Qi, Lin Feng, and the others back. She was completely clueless when it came to naming things!
“I’ll listen to you, Lord. Whatever you say we’ll call it, I have no opinion on it!” Lin Feng was the first to speak, looking completely matter-of-fact.
