Chapter 1021: Visit

Feiyun shook his head and smiled: "One might think that he's refusing after hearing that, but I believe that he is sincere."

"Sincere? Are you crazy?" You Zilin responded.

Feiyun shook his head and said: "Of course not. Let me ask you a question, can a half-demon become a domain lord?"

"You're one right now, Your Excellency." Zilin retorted.

"Then why do you think he made me a domain lord?" Feiyun asked.

"Because you helped him find that saint fossil." Zilin answered.

"Someone like him had many choices for rewards, so why the title bestowment? Remember, a domain lord is a member of the dynasty's inner circle, a prestigious status akin to a noble." Feiyun shook his head again in response.

"A half-demon shouldn't be able to join this private circle. His decision certainly incited criticisms so why did he bother causing trouble for himself?" He went on.

"DO you mean..." Zilin started to understand.

"Let's put it this way. What is the biggest obstacle for the princess to become the successor?"

"You." Zilin stared at him and said.

"That's right, marrying a half-demon will be one of her disadvantages." Feiyun admitted: "Her enemies will always bring this up, but would they once I become a domain lord?"

The twins started thinking.

"There is a reason why Elder Lin has power and influence, it's no coincidence. He moved with reasons, therefore, there is a partnership formed already between him and the princess. His plan just isn't that clear to regular people and is many steps ahead. Once you're enough steps deep, you would then understand the prior moves." Feiyun explained.

The twins began to believe Feiyun.

"I still don't think he'll visit the princess because people are watching his every move. A visit would cause a stir, doesn't that tell everyone that he wants to support Crimson? It's the opposite of his original goal." Ziling said.

Feiyun raised the jade box to eye level and smirked.

Ziling greeted her teeth, thinking that this half-demon was trying to act cool.

***

The trio returned to the mansion. Everyone from Crimson has settled down with proper arrangements.

They came to the palace of the first princess, entered the hall, and closed the gate.

Liu Suhong who was standing with her back to them asked: "So? Did Elder Lin read the letter?"

"He read it." Feiyun said.

The twins thought to themselves that Feiyun was too confident. This was only speculation yet he spoke with so much confidence. Did he think he could lie just because he was her fiance?

"Haha!" Liu Suhong smiled brightly and turned around: "I heard Mo Hen came back and complained about how tough it was, that Elder Lin wouldn't see anyone, and something about you three... forget it, they'll be embarrassed soon enough. When will Elder Lin see me?"

"He decided to come to visit you in person." Feiyun revealed.

This startled the princess.

Feiyun took out the jade box, removed the seal, then opened it.

"Whoosh!" A blue light rushed out and gathered into an old man.

He was none other than Elder Lin. He smiled and said: "Virtuous Nephew, I knew I was right about you."

The twins were shocked to see this. They were top geniuses but couldn't notice the elder imprinting a divine intent of his into the box.

Liu Suhong immediately came closer and lowered her head: "Greetings, Elder, I thought that I would be the one to visit you..."

"Haha, I'm only a servant, I can't let you visit me, Princess. You are someone who will become a territory lord. I should be here with my true body but since there are too many eyes, it would cause unnecessary problems." Elder Lin didn't let her bow.

She then messaged her seven ancestors. They came in no time at all and were shocked to see Elder Lin. All of them bowed to greet him.

Next came a secret discussion only for the important members of the Liu. Feiyun and the twins naturally left.

Yilin was his biggest fan right now. He asked: "How did you know the elder left behind a divine intent in that box?"

"I guessed." Feiyun smiled.

"No way, how can you be so accurate? Teach me." Yilin continued.

"This can't be taught." Feiyun smiled.

Yilin didn't give up and continued tailing him. As for Yiling, she thought that he was becoming more and more mysterious.

Suddenly, waves of unfriendly laughter could be heard. "Isn't this our first princess' husband? I heard you were a cowardly turtle at Elder Lin's residence."

A group of geniuses came over including Mo Hen and three successors of immemorial clans.

"Don't be so rude, Elder Lin wouldn't have met him so there was no need to seek further humiliation. We should be copying his wisdom instead." Mo Hen sarcastically said.

"Mo Hen, don't speak when you're not even qualified to hold Feng Feiyun's shoes." Yilin snorted.

"I would never hold the shoes of a cowardly turtle." Mo Hen's expression darkened as he barked back.

'Motherfuckers, what did turtles ever do to you? Why are we insulted everywhere for no reason.' The turtle inside Feiyun's pocket quietly mumbled.

"What did you say?!" Yilin became angry.

"I didn't say any name but it seems like you already know." Mo Hen smirked.

"Haha!" His group laughed loudly.

Ziling took out her sword and gathered her energy before speaking: "Laugh again, I dare you."

Everyone knew how strong she was, sending a fifth-level genius flying with just one strand of hair and making him vomit blood.

They all stopped laughing with haste.

Mo Hen summoned a spear and became eager to fight. It was as if he was holding a dragon: "I heard about a strong expert under the first princess, Lifeless Maiden. Let's see how strong you are."

"You won't be fighting my sister, I've found you annoying long ago." Zilin summoned his evil-subduing sword. His hands became resplendent while standing on a bright trigram symbol, instantly delivering a slash.

The group was startled and felt impressed by his cultivation. Lifeless Palace was a branch of Dao Gate. Even members of the immemorial clans wanted to join so becoming its celestial child wasn't easy.

"Hmph." Mo Hen's spear let out a loud dragon roar. He nullified the attack without moving an inch.

He then thrust his spear forward and created five dragon images. Their scales, horns, and eyes were vivid, forcing everyone back.

"This is one of Mo Hen's top techniques, Dragon Soul of Dawn. He used it to defeat Ninth." Someone commented.

"Capital Mountain's techniques are wonderful, he must have a high position there."

Zilin scowled and said: "Myriad blades, resplendent dao." Zilin summoned countless swords to form a domain.

The two of them went all out and destroyed the surroundings. Fortunately, the meteoric stones limited the damage.

Normal cultivators wouldn't be able to use their spirit energy in Deep South but they had no problem using top techniques.

"This celestial child seems to be at the sixth level too, that's why they're fighting evenly."

"The first princess has some capable followers, the only problem is that trash half-demon. He might be strong now but won't ever be able to reach Heaven's Emergence. He'll be nothing more than a hindrance."

The spectators glanced at Feiyun with disdain. His cultivation didn't matter since he could never reach the next realm.

Meanwhile, footsteps could be heard from the outside.

"Haha, we're here just in time, perfect." Another group walked in, looking rather haughty.

Their clothes were expensive and they had aura and qi images. These were all top geniuses.
