The Ancient Rare Phoenix: Colourful Flames - Chapter 8
When grandpa Zong returned at the clan hall, everyone were already seated and waiting after him, additionally a mid-aged man and a teen girl were seated at the guest position. They were already discussing enthusiastically. As everyone noticed him entering, they greeted him. Grandpa Zong greeted them back and sat on his clan head seat then looked meaningfully at his guests. Finally he warmly said:
” Old Kong, what a rare occasion for you to come on here today? Are you by chance still seeking for my young genius disciplines? ”
Grandpa slyly peeked at Nina before smiling.
Jia Kong froze and avoiding looking at his daughter even though she didn’t notice why he was seeking young genius from Liu Clan. He winked at grandpa Zong and clearing his thoat before happily saying.
” Ha ha Stupid Zong, today I only came to escort my daughter Nina here since she wanted see how Liu Clan were doing these days. ”
Nina stood up and courteously replied.
” Uncle Zong, I’ve heard so much rumors bout a famous baby in Liu Clan so I’d like to meet him once. Is it possible to let me meet him? ”
As soon as she said that, everyone got incredibly shocked by her answer. Even her father Kong too.
Grandpa Zong and all elders in the hall including her father looked strangely at her as they could see a sparkling shine in her eyes when she said baby. It gave them same weird feeling as baby’s when he was watching people.
Grandpa Zong suspiciously asked her.
” Niece Nina, have you met him somewhere? ”
Nina slightly nodded her head and oddly looked at them for giving such weird gazes.
Grandpa Zong gave a questing look at Jia Kong yet only to see him shaking his head.
Having known his grandson’s weird behavior for past 2 years, he knew there was almost no one who would approach him excluding his mother.
When he found someone who was also questionably weird, he decided to plan a scheme. He tactfully said to her.
” Hou’er is grounded for this month by his mother and spending most his time at the clan library. Once he comes out, how about i send him to meet you? ”
” Ye. Thank you uncle Zong.”
Nina dazzlingly smiled sweetly and agreed while blinding these old geezer who now were 100% sure she was one of his kinds. Under the bizarre gaze of her father, she left happily back to her clan.
After she left, the hall instantly got noisy with elders murmuring with each other. Grandpa Zong awkwardly coughed twice and seriously said.
” let’s start the clan meeting, starting with clan report.”

Back at the Clan Library
Hou and his servant Li were sitting at the corner at 2nd floor after all the walking. Servant Li was massaging hou’s baby feet while Hou was looking at the portrait of a tall majestic and extremely attractive man who was holding a golden Fan with several unknown ancient marking while standing arrogantly on top of the humongous hideous blue dragon. He was deeply impressed by the man, yet unknowingly he felt disdain toward the man so he wanted to stepped on him and look down from above the sky.
He looked back at his servant Li and asked arrogantly bout this portrait.
When Servant Li saw his attitude how he showed while watching the portrait. He wanted to beat the shit out of him however knowing his background, inwardly cursing him. He still gladly explained him.
” He was the Founder of our Ice Empire and was the only known Monarch Mortal Realm recorded in the history, Monarch Zhu. In some ancient record around 1600 years ago, they said Monarch Zhu singlehandedly defeated the blue dragon king Early stage Sage Mortal Realm then founded our Ice empire on top of dead blue dragon king. ”
” This portrait was painted 500 years ago by the famous Painter Gu to show the tribute to Monarch Zhu at Royal feast in the Imperial Palace City. Then 25 years ago Emperor De gave this portrait to our Jia Clan for being loyal toward Royal family during his visit in our City. Since then it was been here with us in our library. ”
” Young master hou, Do you know why it was kept here and not at our clan hall? ”
Hou opened his eyes wide and kept on opening his mouth but no sound came out. He knew this man on the portrait was a great man but killing a Early Stage Sage Mortal Realm dragon singlehandedly was too awesome even for him. Remembering how he wanted to stepped on top off him, just left him speechless.
If he told someone then mother Bing might just let him stay in this library forever. Wiping his nonexistence sweat from his forehead, he started look at the portrait again.
Watching at Hou’s reaction, Servant Li just chuckled at him. After all everyone admired Monarch Zhu deeply. Seemingly noticing his servant out of corner of his eye. He angrily stare and coldly said.
” Hey shitty geezer, Laugh again and you’re dead. Do you think I am same as stupid as you? Isn’t the reason because of those flickering formation arrays at the top of this building?
Servant Li was surprised first then nodded him head and asked.
” How did you know about the formation arrays at top? Have you learn about the formation arrays? ”
” Annoying geezer, Obviously I haven’t learned any formation arrays. Actually all these elder geezers kept on boasting about our clan grand formation. How no one can break or sneak into here without our Clan Token. They even said this place was the last stand of our Clan if crisis ever come after our clan. We’d could live here till we grow old and the formation won’t even budge.”
Servant Li baffled and rolled his eyes. He knew Hou was the crazy stalker but to know even about the clan last stand spot, only the highest level elders knew it. Even if they couldn’t tell bout what level were these formation, since the clan didn’t have any high Grade formation Realm expert for these past generation.
After seeing how all kinds of the reaction from his servant and how he kept asking him these annoying question. Hou decided stop and go back home and sleep so he asked.
“Anyway do you know where I can find grand elder of this library? Take me to him if you know ”
Servant Li looked into his eyes to see why he was looking for the grand elder. After seeing his normal eyes. He grinned then deliberately looked at him and said with chilly voice.
” Little mutt, grand elder Li is here right in front of you. what do you need? ”
Hou shuddered then in a lightning fast he kicked him in the face and ran while loudly shouting.
” WTH! you’re the grand elder Li, FK even a shitty geezer is a grand elder here. First you bully me then stalk me everywhere, here and there asking annoying the questions. Shitty geezer, you gone too senile. ”
” Next time you better behave or it won’t just a kick. ”
By the time his loud shout died, he was nowhere to be seen. Grand Elder Li froze again with his eyes and mouth wide open. After recovering from froze state, he started to feel the pain and rubbed his face then maliciously looked at the exit.
