Chapter 2791 — Feng Shihua
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
So when Feng Shihua extended his olive branch, he had attached himself at once. A Heaven Rank expert—even if only early Heaven Rank—was enough for him to look up to! Though the man looked young, he was in fact over forty; that he called Feng Shihua "brother" was out of respect alone.
"I do not know, but it is nothing unusual. Many disciples of ancient sects are still very proud and will not band together. After all, some ancient sects have feuds among themselves, and their disciples could never sit down together in peace," Feng Shihua explained.
At that same moment, the ancient Feng family was in an uproar. Feng Tianqi sat ashen-faced in the family council chamber below the old master Feng, glaring at Feng Tianhu. "Feng Tianhu, what is your game? You went behind my back and secretly sent Shipian to the Xuandan Sect's trial? Do you not know how dangerous that trial is? In past years, few cultivators have come back alive!"
"Second Brother, you are mistaken there. My son Nitian could go to the Ice Palace trial, so why can your son Shipian not go to the Xuandan Sect trial? What sort of reasoning is that?" Feng Tianhu said mildly. "Besides, Feng Shihua is an early Heaven Rank expert—in past years he would not have been eligible for the Xuandan Sect trial, but this year the qualifications have been relaxed. Let Shipian go and reap some benefit—why not?"
"Hmph. Do not think I do not know. You sent Shipian to the Xuandan Sect trial simply to obtain a third-grade Great Return Pill for Nitian," Feng Tianqi said furiously.
"I said no such thing. I merely laid out the advantages and disadvantages to Shipian, and Shipian volunteered to go to the Xuandan Sect trial and seek the medicine for his younger brother Nitian," Feng Tianhu said, unruffled.
"You... you knew perfectly well what Shipian's nature is! Say such things to him and of course he could not refuse!" Feng Tianqi gave a cold snort. His son Feng Shihua had not a wicked bone in his body—a thorough good soul. If Feng Tianhu told him that going to the Xuandan Sect trial could win a third-grade Great Return Pill to save his younger brother Feng Nitian, then go he certainly would.
"Enough, enough—what is all this quarreling? Stop bickering!" Old Master Feng finally spoke. "Is it not merely a trial? Shipian is an early Heaven Rank expert now, and some tempering would do him good. Besides, if Nitian recovers, that is a great blessing for our Feng family. Why not?"
"But..." Feng Tianqi wanted to say more, but Old Master Feng cut him off.
"Tianlin, Tianhu no doubt had his little schemes—he feared that if he told you, you would stop Shipian from going. But if the decision were mine to make, I would still let Shipian go," Old Master Feng said. "First, if Feng Nitian recovers, it is a great boon to our ancient Feng family. Second, Feng Shihua is a Heaven Rank expert now; going to the trial should pose him no danger—he will have it in hand."
"This..." Feng Tianqi, of course, had his own private motives.
