37
Fu Chen wasn't surprised at all. His master always acted with a purpose. Just like Elder Shi Fang, who had approached Qianli Pavilion, and how he had taken him to Wuding Temple...
With a "oh", he pushed Fu An away and turned to look at Feng Yi: "What are we going to do now?"
If the master wants him to return to the Phoenix Clan, then he can go back.
The smile on Feng Yi's lips flickered for a moment, but he quickly recovered and said in a meticulous and gentle manner, "According to the rules, you and your brother should go and worship your ancestors first."
Those ancestors blocking the entrance? Would it be useful to worship them?
Fu Chen did not refuse: "Let's go."
Tomorrow is the opening time. As long as these are resolved, he and his master can leave.
Looking at the four young men walking away, Fu Yi was puzzled: "Why did the Immortal Venerable say that?"
The alliance between the Wuwang Sect and the Phoenix Clan existed a hundred years ago, otherwise Fu Chen would not have survived until now, let alone caused such a big disaster outside -
Hiding the identity of the Phoenix Clan caused a lot of trouble in the outside world and was even called a demon.
The Phoenix Clan separated from the Demon Clan in order to become independent. However, Fu Chen had clearly put the Phoenix Clan in danger, and the key point was that he had no idea of the seriousness of the problem.
The first time he saw the young man in red, he recognized Fu Chen's identity.
If it weren't for Fu Chen, his biological sister wouldn't have been imprisoned underground for a hundred years. Even though he invited Su Miao here, the idea of suppressing her wasn't his.
A hundred years ago, after learning that his sister was pregnant, Fu Yi immediately asked who the father of the child was.
At that time, Fusheng was already engaged and the wedding date was approaching.
For Fu Yi, as long as his sister is happy, he can accept any price.
Fu Sheng touched his belly, the kindness in his eyes almost overflowing: "Brother, I want to leave Qiwu City with him."
The duty of a saint is to give birth to excellent next generations, even though they do not know their husbands before marriage.
Fu Sheng was lucky. She was betrothed to Feng Sheng, the most gifted of the clan and later the Great Elder. They had grown up together as childhood sweethearts, so they were no strangers to each other.
Their names were decided at birth, combining Fu and Feng, and having the same name to show their compatibility as husband and wife.
However, the child in Fu Sheng's belly was a human child, which broke the rules. Before Fu Yi could send them away, Fu Sheng was captured, and even the man could not escape.
The Phoenix Clan has always had a warning: when the Son of Man is born into the Phoenix Clan, it will be the moment of the Phoenix Clan's demise.
The elders were extremely anxious, disappointed and helpless with Fu Sheng. They knew that Fu Sheng had fallen in love with a human cultivator, but they really didn't expect that they would be so bold!
The final outcome was not good. The elders wanted to get rid of the child that should not exist, but Fusheng was already six months pregnant.
The phoenix is pregnant for six months.
During their escape, Fusheng and the man laid a phoenix egg. The elders used the phoenix egg to suppress Fusheng underground, in Qiwudi, where he was roasted by fire all day long.
As for the man, he is nowhere to be found.
If Fu Sheng is a sinner, then the phoenix egg is proof of his sin.
At that time, Fu Yi had just taken office as the clan leader. Feng Sheng was supposed to be the chief elder after the wedding, but the previous chief elder passed away, so Feng Sheng took over early.
The new official had three major things to do when he took office. He had no tolerance for Fusheng, his childhood sweetheart, and could not even accept the existence of the phoenix egg.
No matter how Fu Yi tried to dissuade him, with the warning in place, he could only watch the phoenix egg fall into Feng Sheng's hands - they planned to throw it into the volcano to express their awareness of their sins and their remorse.
In such a critical situation, a woman broke into Qiwu City and snatched away the phoenix egg without any explanation. Even the magic weapon that the Phoenix Clan had guarded for many years was taken away with the woman.
The Phoenix Clan was struck by a disaster without cause, and one crisis after another arose. Seeing that the clan was about to be wiped out, they found an opportunity, but before they could finally make amends, their eggs were gone!
Not only the egg is gone, but the sword is gone too!!
It's like losing both the wife and the army.
The method of living sacrifice was cruel after all, and Feng Sheng was in the wrong. With the help of Fu Yi, the woman agreed with the Phoenix Clan to return the eggshell intact, and only then was she able to escape safely.
It wasn't that the Phoenix Clan was merciful and wanted to spare her life, it was simply that they couldn't defeat the woman, so they came to this agreement as a compromise.
The woman was Su Miao, a genius swordsman who had reached the peak of the Heart-Peace Realm of the Merciless Dao before the age of a hundred.
Fu Yi still sighs when he thinks about it. If he wasn't that man's disciple, he would have wanted to recruit him into the Phoenix Clan.
Su Miao thought about Fu Yi's question and said, "I can't keep him around forever. The Phoenix Clan is still a good choice. He won't stay in the Wuwang Sect for long."
She will ascend, and one day she will no longer be able to protect him. In the spiritual world, he can never escape the stigma of being a demon.
Seeing how wicked she was, she rarely showed any kindness. Anything she could say to get Fu Chen to accept the Phoenix Clan was good.
The Wuwang Sect has been placed on the high seat of the number one sect for too long and has lost its freedom, as evidenced by the Fu Chen incident.
Since the Wuwang Sect cannot protect him, let him take charge of the Feng Clan.
Su Miao has always been very ambitious, even towards his own disciples. If Fu Chen can take charge of Bailuo Mountain, then the Phoenix Clan will be no exception.
She did not ask the Phoenix Clan to protect Fu Chen. She was waiting for Fu Chen to conquer the Phoenix Clan and make them his backers.
The former has no freedom and needs to rely on others; the latter can make any decision.
What she said was to tell Fu Chen that the Wuwang Sect needed the Phoenix Clan, needed to infiltrate the Phoenix Clan and control the Phoenix Clan.
Fu Yi didn't understand the meaning of her words, but remembering Su Miao's rough behavior in the past, he couldn't help but remind her: "If the Great Elder causes trouble, please show mercy, Immortal Venerable."
Fu Yi also hated Feng Sheng. If it weren't for him, his sister wouldn't have been trapped in Qiwu for a hundred years.
But the Phoenix Clan cannot afford to lose Feng Sheng, who is the purest Fire Phoenix. Fu Yi must protect him, as the Phoenix Clan needs him.
The mistake has been made and no one can claim innocence.
Even he was not innocent. As the clan leader, he watched his sister being imprisoned, indifferent and helpless.
Su Miao frowned, trying to figure out who this Great Elder was, but she couldn't find any relevant memories. She nodded, "Don't worry, I know what's going on."
Just don't kill.
Fu Yi was silent. He was more worried that if the Phoenix Clan made Fu Chen unhappy, he was afraid that this Immortal Lord would also chop him with a sword.
The thought of that sword strike a hundred years ago still made him tremble in his heart. He glanced at the spirit sword flying beside Su Miao and calmed down his emotions: "I am relieved. The matter of suppressing... the sinner still needs the Immortal Venerable's care."
Su Miao hummed, and seeing that he still didn't leave, she couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you going to watch?"
Even those four little guys were a nuisance to her. The Phoenix Clan was plagued by such troubles one after another. Su Miao suddenly sympathized with Master Feng Ting and wondered why he didn't like to come out.
How can I face the world with such a group of descendants?
I am not afraid of trouble coming to me, I am just afraid that trouble will choose me.
Fu Yi looked stunned, as if he hadn't expected Su Miao to ask this question. After a long moment, he chuckled and said, "This place is familiar to the Immortal Venerable. I won't say much more. I'll be leaving now."
A hundred years ago, Su Miao took away the phoenix egg from here and also took away the magic weapon that they had guarded for generations.
After going around in circles, everything has come here again.
The old man fled in panic, and Su Miao had no idea that he had said something wrong.
She found an empty spot and sat down. A few people were sitting around her. Seeing her, they suppressed their fear and greeted her, "Immortal Venerable."
What's more, when Su Miao approached, he was frightened and turned into his original form and flew away.
Nodding in response to those people, Su Miao glanced at the phoenix that flew away. It was crimson and bright in color, like a burning flame.
With a bang, the beautiful phoenix hit the door and fell down. Several people around hurriedly ran out, anxious to see what happened to the phoenix.
Other than that, there's nothing special.
The sword spirit complained: "It's all your fault! I can't even join in the fun!"
Su Miao: "You've been in Qiwu City for hundreds of years, and you've never seen a coming-of-age ceremony?"
The sword spirit is very naughty, otherwise it would not have followed Su Miao away.
But this coming-of-age ceremony was different. The sword spirit didn't believe that his master would just sit here and wait: "This is a coming-of-age ceremony that only happens once in a lifetime, and it's a delicate one. Aren't you curious?"
Su Miao's expression remained unchanged as he replied to the sword spirit in his consciousness, "I'm curious, but I can't break the rules."
"Why are you following the rules this time!" The sword spirit complained softly. It shook the sword: "I want to go and see, is that okay?"
After all, Fu Yi and others only said that the master could not go, but they did not say that it could not go.
Su Miao doesn't like being restricted, and he doesn't like restricting others: "No playing around."
The sword spirit happily agreed: "Don't worry!"
Flying happily to the altar at the back, the sword spirit found an inconspicuous high ground. In fact, Fu Yi and the others saw it but pretended not to see it.
Fu An said that he was serious about letting Fu Chen be his elder brother, so Fu Chen walked in front and he walked behind.
The elders who attended were all Fu Yi's confidants, and they did not hold much grudge against Fu Chen. Seeing this, they did not say anything, but instead looked at Fu An with admiration and pity.
They had watched Fu An grow up, and they were pleased that he had made concessions, but at the same time, they felt a little distressed. For such a major event as the Coming of Age Ceremony, he had to give way to another person.
Unintentionally turning back to see the pity in the elders' eyes, Fu An shook his shoulders with a chill, quickened his pace to get closer to Fu Chen, and whispered, "Fu Chen, do you know why they have such disgusting expressions on their faces?"
Pity? Please, Fu An only pretends to be good in front of his father! In the past, these elders would either laugh and scold him or pretend not to see him.
Today is truly magical! Hey! One by one, you still want to torture him at this time?
Thinking of this, Fu An patted his chest in fear. Fortunately, he didn't get into trouble today! Otherwise, if it was any more disgusting, he wouldn't want to attend the coming-of-age ceremony.
Hearing Fu An's question, Fu Chen glanced sideways, then lowered his eyes and said in a light tone: "Maybe they think I've taken your place."
Everyone tends to favor the children they have watched grow up. After letting out a breath, Fu Chen suddenly felt as if he missed the life in Wuwang Sect.
Fu An was furious and immediately turned around to glare at the elders. The pity in the elders' eyes disappeared, and they all glared at each other, just like usual.
Satisfied, he turned around and said, "That's not right! You didn't take my place... In fact, Feng Yi and I miss you very much."
When they were still eggs, Dad would often hold them and nag them, talking about their aunt, about their brother who was taken away...
miss?
Fu Chen paused, looking up at Feng Yi standing on the altar and Lu Qun, who seemed to be paddling. A warm feeling washed over him, and his aversion to this place lessened considerably. But his tone remained cold: "Oh, I understand."
Fu An responded softly and reservedly: "Brother, welcome home."
Seeing this scene, the sword spirit couldn't help but sigh: "It's obvious that being coquettish means being soft-hearted! It really made my eyes water! Wuuwuwuwu..."
Su Miao, who was attached to the spirit sword, suddenly said, "You have eyes? Woohoo? That's good."
A life sword that can hum, and she also has an apprentice who can only make a cooing sound. She has accepted all the weirdos into her sect. Su Miao laughed angrily.
The sword spirit's sighing voice suddenly stopped. Unable to believe what it heard, it called out tentatively, "Master? ...Is that you?"
"I don't deserve it. Master Sword Spirit's whining is too loud. I am ashamed to be inferior to him."
Sword Spirit: “…”
