Chapter 31 Clan Academy 1 The Phoenix Clan Chief Has Actually Arrived?
That day, after Xie Jiaoyue left, Feng Qianqian took the initiative to mention to her parents for the first time that she felt she had been too lax in the past.
Because she didn't have any goals or pursuits before, but now she has pursuits.
She had to protect Xie Jiaoyue, so she had to work hard to cultivate and never betray Xie Jiaoyue's trust in her.
As if afraid her parents wouldn't believe her, Feng Qianqian directly swore an oath by blood, making a heavenly vow to completely eliminate any possibility of her going back on her word.
The two old phoenixes were astonished and moved to tears.
They readily agreed to their daughter's request, and while she was cultivating, they couldn't resist visiting the Xie family with a pile of gifts.
They arrived even earlier than Xie Jiaoyue.
Gong Shirao looked at the two elders of the Phoenix Clan with a blank expression: "What brings you two here?"
"It's nothing. Jiaoyue not only brought us Ling Shuanghua, but also helped persuade Feng Qianqian, making her change her previous laziness and want to work hard in her cultivation. So we came here specifically to thank Jiaoyue."
"By the way, where's Jiaoyue?"
Gong Shirao fell into deep thought. "That's right, where is Jiaoyue?"
No, no, Jiaoyue only went out for a day, but did she do so much?
She felt dizzy looking at all the gifts, and there was even a Foundation Establishment Pill among them!
Noticing Gong Shirao's gaze, Feng's parents quickly explained, "We hope the two children can always be friends, so we prepared this for Jiaoyue."
Fearing that Gong Shirao might misunderstand, they repeatedly explained, "We absolutely do not mean to distrust Jiaoyue's talent. We believe that Jiaoyue can definitely build a foundation on her own, and that is a guarantee."
Although the Phoenix Clan finds cultivation easier than the Human Clan due to their innate talents, they certainly did not mean to look down on Xie Jiaoyue.
They were both so nervous that they were sweating.
The Phoenix Clan didn't intentionally avoid associating with the various aristocratic families in Jinling City. It's just that the Phoenix Father was the clan leader and the Phoenix Mother was the Phoenix Clan's Grand Elder, but both of them were socially awkward and would get nervous whenever they spoke to others, often offending people. In the end, they simply decided to stay away from the city altogether.
Their cultivation level was far higher than that of others in Jinling City. They did not originally live here, but decided to live in seclusion here because they had offended many people.
Seeing that Feng Mu was about to choke, Gong Shirao quickly patted her back and said, "It's alright, it's alright. I didn't misunderstand. I'm overjoyed that you gave me a female Foundation Establishment Pill. Why would I overthink it?"
"Oh, Jiaoyue is back."
This was the first time Xie Jiaoyue had ever seen the main house so lively. Were these two Feng Qianqian's parents?
"Uncle Feng, Aunt Feng," she greeted them in a very sweet voice.
The two elderly people, who were not young, stood in front of Xie Jiaoyue as if they had seen their benefactor, looking extremely reserved.
They were tongue-tied and didn't know how to express their gratitude, so they ended up bowing deeply.
Xie Jiaoyue quickly helped the two up: "Uncle and Aunt, it's not that bad. Jiaoyue only did something insignificant."
She helped the two of them sit down.
As soon as Feng's father sat down, he sighed deeply: "Niece Jiaoyue, this may be a trivial matter to you, but to us, you are no less than a benefactor."
Xie Jiaoyue thought it was because she had saved Feng Qianqian and given her a spiritual plant: "It's nothing. I was there at the time, so of course I wouldn't watch Sister Qianqian get into trouble."
Feng's father shook his head: "It's not just about this."
Is there anything else?
The father took out a phoenix tail feather, which had several nicks and chips: "When Qianqian was little, we did a divination for her and learned that she would be entangled with a man in the future, and would even reveal her phoenix blood essence for him, almost losing her life many times."
Xie Jiaoyue thought that this must be the plot after she, the cannon fodder character, is taken offline.
Feng's father continued, "The only chance to break this deadlock is through cultivation. As long as Qianqian can break through to the Nascent Soul stage before she turns twenty-five, she will have a chance to escape her fate."
This does match the effect of the female lead's halo.
Phoenix Mother couldn't help but interject, "But no matter how hard we try to teach her, Qianqian just doesn't like cultivating. We're so anxious that we've decided to take the initiative and find her a trustworthy Daoist partner. The Phoenix Clan believes in one partner for life, so if Qianqian finds a suitable Daoist partner, she might be able to avoid the predictions of the divination."
The more she looked at Xie Jiaoyue, the more she liked her: "This time, Qianqian actually decided to work hard to cultivate because of you. We are so happy. What are these gifts? If you can continue to cultivate and improve together, we can give you anything you need!"
Father Feng quickly nudged Mother Feng: "What nonsense are you talking about? They don't lack spirit stones themselves, so why would they lack anything? We're the ones who want to give them to them."
Mother Feng nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, we wanted to give it to you willingly. We wouldn't feel at ease if we didn't give it to you. We just want you to be well."
This resolved all of Xie Jiaoyue's doubts.
She said that given Feng Qianqian's condition, her parents must love her dearly, so why would they be in such a hurry to find a Daoist partner for their daughter who is only sixteen or seventeen years old?
It turned out to be to guard against Chu Xingjin.
It's a pity that she failed; Feng Qianqian still fell in love with Chu Xingjin.
Feng's father carefully raised his eyes to look at Xie Jiaoyue, and carefully considered his words: "Jiaoyue, it's not that we don't believe your judgment, nor that we're saying that Young Master Chu is definitely the person in the divination. However, your uncle still wants to remind you that you haven't known each other for long, so it's best to think it over carefully."
They had already learned that young girls experiencing their first stirrings of love shouldn't be forced; the more they forced them, the more likely they were to resist. It was better to go along with them.
Xie Jiaoyue felt a warm feeling in her heart; the female lead's family was all doing well.
"Uncle, don't worry. Even if Chu Xingjin is really the person mentioned in the divination, my sister Qianqian and I will support each other and we will definitely not get the same result as the divination."
The father felt that these words sounded strange, but alas, how could his two children be so confused? Was it really fate?
If fate cannot be defied, then it would be a good outcome if Jiaoyue and Qianqian became sisters.
Xie Jiaoyue skillfully comforted the two elders, using her eloquent words to make them happy, and left with a smile on her face.
Before leaving, they agreed to Xie Jiaoyue's request and led the main branch of the family out of the Xie clan's territory in a grand manner, which surprised the other members of the Xie clan.
Good heavens! Miss Jiaoyue went out to a banquet and not only improved her relationship with the Xin family, but also gained the favor of the Phoenix Clan.
The most indignant one was naturally the Third Elder, who had been actively working to prevent Xie Jiaoyue from entering the clan school.
The clan school wasn't just for the Xie family alone. The three major families of Jinling City didn't have the capacity to establish their own clan schools, so they had to compromise and run one together.
When the time comes, won't everyone know that the most valued member of the Xie family in this generation is actually a furnace vessel?
It's shameful enough that the most talented one is the furnace cauldron, but to be the most valued one is also the furnace cauldron. Shameful, utterly shameful. There has never been such a thing since ancient times.
He could already imagine how others would laugh at him, mocking the disciple they had painstakingly nurtured, who would end up as the beloved wife of another cultivator, leaving the Xie family with nothing to show for their efforts.
Don't ask why Xie Jiaoyue became someone else's beloved wife. Since ancient times, which furnace has not had a beloved wife and husband?
The Third Elder had already persuaded the First Elder and they were planning to go together to persuade the Ancestor, but then the Phoenix Clan arrived.
Didn't you hear the Phoenix Clan Chief talking to Xie Jiaoyue just now? He said they'd see each other again at the clan academy, and that because of Xie Jiaoyue, their Phoenix Clan would send someone to the Jinling City Clan Academy to be a teacher.
This is something they've been begging for for years and couldn't get, yet Xie Jiaoyue accomplished it all by herself?
How could he then stop Xie Jiaoyue from enrolling in the clan school?
It's simply impossible.
The Third Elder was furious but there was nothing he could do.
He was about to go back to his room to sulk when someone called him back.
Feng's parents rarely went out, yet they knew the Third Elder of the Xie family. Perhaps they were overjoyed to see an acquaintance.
"Thank you, Third Elder." Mother Feng smiled and waved to the Third Elder.
She was simple-minded and not good at reading people's expressions. When she saw that Elder Xie responded to them with a smile, she thought that Elder Xie must be in a good mood.
She began praising Xie Jiaoyue to Elder Xie San: "Although Jiaoyue has an unusual constitution," referring to the fact that Xie Jiaoyue was originally a furnace cauldron, "Jiaoyue has good talent and a kind and innocent nature. She is extremely sincere to others. I think Jiaoyue will definitely be able to achieve great things in the future."
What could the Third Elder say? He could only smile and agree.
The more the Phoenix Mother praised, the happier she became. She felt that what she had given before was not enough, so she took out another robe, which she made from her own shed feathers and had extremely strong defensive power.
"Jiaoyue, this robe suits you well, your aunt is giving it to you."
"Don't refuse. As elders, we should definitely give you something when you juniors enter the clan school. Don't you agree, Elder Xie San?"
Feng's mother didn't mean anything by it; she just wanted to give the child something and was worried that the child would feel embarrassed, so she wanted the elders to help her accept it.
But to others, it was not like that at all, especially Elder Xie San, whose mouth was practically frozen from smiling.
Is this a request for him?
He has to deliver it too, right?
That's right. He's an outsider, and he gave her a gift. He's Xie Jiaoyue's elder, so how could he not give her a penny in front of so many people?
The cunning Phoenix Clan!
Moreover, with the Phoenix Clan's precious gems as a precedent, he couldn't send anything too inferior, otherwise he would definitely be the subject of gossip.
Elder Xie had no choice but to take out a sword, a huge heavy sword that seemed completely unworthy of Xie Jiaoyue.
"Jiaoyue looks too thin and weak. She should carry a heavy sword so that she won't be easily bullied when she goes out."
Elder Xie deliberately held the heavy sword high, and when Xie Jiaoyue came to take it, he suddenly let go.
The weight of the greatsword pressed down on Xie Jiaoyue's wrist in an instant.
Xie Jiaoyue leaned back, precisely opening her storage ring and placing it on the spot where the heavy sword would land. The heavy sword fell straight into the storage ring without any problems.
If she had deviated even slightly, the sword tip would have severed Xie Jiaoyue's finger, but she didn't deviate at all.
A sweet voice rang out: "Thank you, Third Elder."
The Third Elder squeezed out through gritted teeth, "Well, as long as Jiaoyue is happy. Don't embarrass the Xie family when you go to the clan school."
Xie Jiaoyue thought, how could she bring shame to the Xie family? She was the eldest daughter of the Xie family, and she should definitely bring honor to the Xie family.
Miss, you can't just be love-struck.
