Not A Cultivator - Chapter 127
Feng Ao Xiu did it, he fulfilled all his promises.
Starting from cursing Ma Zhong in 3 different cursed words. Then, defeating him with eyes blindfolded and one hand-tied up behind his back, moreover, he did it in 7 moves. Even Ma Zhong was overpowered to the point that he’s willing to get down on all fours and squeal like a pig to keep his own life.
Nobody ever expected him to do it since it was only a trash talk no matter how you hear it. Even an Ancient Sky Realm Expert who’s their level higher than Ma Zhong couldn’t defeat an Ancient Earth Realm Expert in less than ten moves. Much less did it blindfolded and using one hand.
However, it seems Feng Ao Xiu held his words in a different value. When nobody cares about it, he takes it seriously. It was no doubt, Feng Ao Xiu has become the most powerful man in the entire Xiang Lan Nation.
But, a big question mark still remains. Wasn’t Feng Ao Xiu not a cultivator?
“Hey, why do you lie?”
“Ehh… It’s not me. I just repeated what I heard it was him that said it.”
“You’re wrong. It was not me. I also only repeat what I heard. It was the Head Guard who said it first.”
“That’s right, it was him!”
“Head Guard Cui, please explain what you mean by the Second Young Master is not a cultivator!”
The crowd turns their attention to the Head Guard. The person in question himself wants to cry. As the Head Guard, he was strict and never showed any negative emotions. Yet, at this time he was flustered and unable to comprehend what happened. It was a rare sight, especially for the other guards who used to see him every day.
As for the reason he became panicked, it was him that started all of this as he’s the first one to shout about Feng Ao Xiu being not a cultivator. Undoubtedly, he will be blamed for all of this. Lying and making hoax, especially the one that tarnished the future Clan Lord, it could even be punishable by death.
Unable to bear the responsibilities, he needs to find someone else to blame.
“It’s the Clan Lord and Qian Hui! They’re the one spewing out these lies!” Head Guard Cui said. “You two, please explain what happened!”
Out of them all, the duo of Feng Zhong Tian and Qian Hui was the most confused. No one else but the two of them knows the real strength of Feng Ao Xiu better.
Feng Ao Xiu is not a cultivator, and it’s a fact. Yet what they saw in front of them, seeing the man with a broken meridian defeated the Supreme Expert, they were baffled.
Obviously, Feng Ao Xiu was not hiding his strength. There’s no merit in doing so. Otherwise, he would have already shown it from the start. It was also not a trap, nor an array formation. The two of them was informed on all the array formation that was prepared beforehand. They also know the fact that they almost lost. Otherwise, there’s no way Feng Ao Xiu would hide in the bushes previously.
No matter, what’s the reason is, they can ask Feng Ao Xiu himself later. But, what’s happening gives them an enormous advantage. Now that their lie was backed up, they could control the flow of the conversation.
“Head Guard, you don’t understand?” Feng Zhong Tian said, “It’s just a joke.”
“A joke!?”
“The Clan Lord only wants to give you a lesson.” Qian Hui said, “No matter what, you must believe in the Second Young Master. This is what happened when you don’t believe in the Second Young Master.”
“…”, There’s a lot that the Head Guard Cui wants to say, but no words were coming out of his mouth. No matter how much he thought about it, the Clan Lord and Qian Hui were serious previously. And now it turns into a joke just a few minutes. Even if he wants to refute, he got no proof for it. He felt like dying, why he must be responsible for all of this which is just a joke?
“It can’t be helped then,” Feng Ao Xiu said.
Feng Ao Xiu shook his head slightly. In front of the pitied Ma Zhong, he couldn’t refuse his surrender. At least, “that person” doesn’t want to. And, because Feng Ao Xiu can’t kill Ma Zhong himself, the only option was to accept his surrender.
“Thank you…” Ma Zhong sighed in relief. “I’ll never forget this kindness!”
Feng Ao Xiu also sighed, now that it’s all over, he can finally rest.
“Let’s go back, prepare the carriage!”
“Ah… Second Young Master… Please wait…” Head Guard Cui stopped Feng Ao Xiu who’s headed for the carriage. “Would you please forgive me as well?”
Feng Ao Xiu bit his lower lip. Although, his life was in danger because of what the Head Guard said, it was not entirely his fault. Besides, it was the fault of the father and the bodyguard, while Head Guard Cui only did what he thinks is best and right for the Feng Clan.
“Okay, I’ll forgive you.”
“Thank you very much.”
“Haha… As expected from Young Master Feng!” the dry laugh comes from the Sect Master Ning Huan. “I always know you can do it! I give you praise from the bottom of my heart!”
“Huh! Who are you to talk like that?” Yang Wen Jia said. “Didn’t you just declared to get revenge against my son-in-law?”
Sect Master Ning Huan frowned. His arch-nemesis just brought up something uncomfortable to talk about.
“Ah… It’s just a joke. Why take it so seriously?” The Sect Master Ning Huan smiled wryly. “By the way, shouldn’t you lecture your own sons. They just made Young Master Feng as their sworn enemies?”
“That… That’s just a joke between young ones. Unlike you who’s serious about it!”
“What did you say!?”
“I said it clearly, didn’t you hear me? You old fool!”
As Yang Wen Jia and Sect Master Ning Huan were bickering with each other, Feng Ao Xiu ignored them and went into the carriage.
“Wait… Young Master Ao Xiu…” Yang Xue Yi said. But, Feng Ao Xiu didn’t hear her. She sighed and said to the two-man bickering, “Father and Uncle Ning, please stop fighting!”
Even with Ning Ruo’s help, ut took quite some time to make them stop fighting. But, finally, she’s able to talk to her father privately.
“Father, I think it’s time…”
Yang Wen Jia nodded, “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it!”
***
During the travel in the carriage, Feng Ao Xiu takes care of everything. He forgives who he should forgive. Then planned to hold a trial for Ma Zhong and the rest of the Fanged Wolf temple tomorrow morning. He also accepts a banquet invitation by the Yang Clan as a reward for helping them. But, because Feng Ao Xiu doesn’t want to travel far, it was decided the banquet will be held within the Feng Clan’s premises.
Feng Ao Xiu was finally back the Clan Lord Residence along with his father and Qian Hui.
As soon as they arrived, Feng Zhong Tian immediately asked, “What happened out there? How come you become so strong?”
“I didn’t do it!” Feng Ao Xiu said. “It wasn’t me that beat Ma Zhong?”
“Then, who?” Qian Hui asked.
“It’s the person behind you two.”
“Ehh…” The two men turned around. They were surprised at what they see. How could they’ve not noticed someone was behind them all along.
Not only that, but they were also shocked that this person was a young woman. Her beauty shined in the darkness, and her long black hair glitters as a small light flickered. The smell of lilies permeated throughout the room, which could allure all men’s heart.
At such an attractive young lady, Feng Zhong Tian could not help but said. “Young Lady, where are you from? Why don’t you be my wife?”
“Eh… I’m sorry. I’m not interested.”
“What!? You dare to defy my…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Feng Ao Xiu cut in, “Let me introduce you to my master, Jun Yin Ying.”
“Hahaa… Forget what I said! It’s just a joke!” Feng Zhong Tian immediately said. His expression turned around 180 degrees compared to previously.
“It’s all right! You’re an honest and brave man. Would you like to be my disciple instead?”
Feng Zhong Tian, “…”
Her request aside, it was no wonder Ma Zhong was defeated. He’s not fighting against Feng Ao Xiu but Jun Yin Ying.
