"How immature."
"I plan to offer a famous sword as the final prize and hold a competition in the name of Wangchuan, letting them fight for it themselves."
What else could Feng Zeliu say?
This idea of diverting attention is something others haven't thought of themselves.
“You are more suitable than me to be the head of the Fengze family.”
Feng Zejian shook his head.
“I won’t do it. I didn’t do it before, and I won’t do it now.”
Hua Niao's eyes narrowed slightly.
"You know it all."
Feng Zejian looked at the flowers and birds, feigning ignorance, and asked, "What do you know?"
"you..."
"Little one, there are some things you shouldn't hide from me, or I'll get angry."
Feng Zejian scratched his head and asked with a smile, "What is our relationship? You're angry with me. I'm just a branch family member, not worthy of your attention, Ancestor."
The flowers and birds were tricked by Wangchuan and then outmaneuvered by Fengzejian.
Feng Zeliu couldn't say anything either.
Hua Niao is indeed his ancestor, but looking back over the years, Feng Zejian's father, mother, and even sister have all been protected by the halo of the Feng Ze family.
Chapter 381 The Red Line That Cannot Be Touched
But he alone did not receive any favors from the Feng Ze family.
Feng Zejian should have been treated as a direct descendant, which is the rule of the Feng Ze family. In the end, the Feng Ze family owes him.
I did have the idea of bringing Feng Zeli and Feng Zejian back to the main family for training, but I rejected the idea because of my own interests.
The flowers and birds seemed somewhat helpless.
"Don't say anything in anger at this time."
Feng Zejian was somewhat angry. Although both parties had already signed a contract, Hua Niao did not seem to want to make it public.
Surely we can't let a son who's separated from the family bring up something like this.
If they don't acknowledge it later, won't I become the clown?
"Kid, this time the old ancestor, Minglai, and I are here to see if we can be of any help, and also to give you a heads-up."
"A reminder, what wake-up call?"
"You've been a bit too flamboyant lately, which is quite different from your usual self."
Feng Zejian shrugged and chuckled, "People change. I like who I am now. I only felt weak and cowardly towards my former self."
Feng Zeliu shook his head and retorted softly, "I don't think so. Your actions in the past were all very wise, but now you seem to lack thought."
"Your current status and abilities are indeed quite good, but I can tell you responsibly that they are not enough."
These words struck Feng Zejian like a blow to the head.
"This world is more complicated than you can imagine. Some families are backed by forces that are not just human."
"To give a simple example, you should be able to sense that even though the Yanase family's little princess and her parents know that you are the priest of the shrine and have the same status, their prejudice against each other still exists."
"In their eyes, you are just a lucky ordinary person, and the Raven God is just a god without any foundation. They won't say it, but that's what they think."
"Your growth is astonishing. You shouldn't be concerned about immediate gains and losses. You need to calm down, reflect, and control yourself, instead of ignoring the rules and forcing your way through."
"That won't do you any good. There are some red lines you absolutely must not cross."
Feng Zejian was deep in thought. "The red thread you mentioned..."
Feng Zeliu was also straightforward.
"Foal leaf viewing area".
Feng Zejian fell silent.
"You made the right choice; those people are already preparing."
"what to prepare?"
Feng Zeliu forced a smile and replied casually.
"can not say."
The atmosphere in the wind was unusually calm; some things didn't need to be said too explicitly.
Feng Zejian asked a different question.
Will there be a second foliage viewing area?
Feng Zeliu paused for a moment, then closed his eyes and nodded.
"Yes. Although it's not something to be proud of, it's a fact we can't change. Perhaps in your heart, Guanye District is a source of regret, and you want to save those innocent souls."
"But the truth is, your strength and connections alone cannot change these things, even if you get involved with the Feng Ze family, it is still impossible."
"Sometimes, giving up is a wise choice."
"Before you have truly grown, what you need is patience."
Feng Zejian's silence can be taken as an admission.
At this moment, Feng Zeliu said again, "I've already made arrangements. You'll be enrolling with Xiaoming next year."
Feng Zejian raised an eyebrow and asked with some curiosity, "Which university, domestic or foreign?"
"It's neither domestic nor foreign, or rather, it's not the present world."
"It's a place where humans, demons, ghosts, and gods mingle, and where you can see the true nature of this world."
Feng Zejian frowned. "Do gods exist too?"
"Well, every circle is very complex. God is not a solitary being. Let me put it this way: if someone becomes a god, then those in close circles with him will go even closer. Their spouses and children will leave this world together. Although they cannot become gods, they will live over there as God's followers and offspring."
"Then tell me, are the offspring of God considered gods? And there are gods there too, they're all in the management."
Feng Zejian's lips curled into a slight smirk, indicating his reluctance.
"Can I not go?"
Before Feng Zeliu could say anything, Hua Niao became unhappy.
He pinched Feng Zejian's face directly, making Feng Zejian's mouth pout.
"Little guy, do you know how many connections I pulled to get these two spots? You have to agree whether you want to or not. In short, this is not up to you."
"what?"
Hua Niao stared at Feng Zejian with an extremely imposing gaze.
"Ah for what?"
"Oh."
Hearing that Feng Zejian had no further objections, Hua Niao released her hand.
Feng Zejian hadn't expected Hua Niao to be so assertive, and from her tone, it was clear that Hua Niao had put a lot of effort into him.
Feng Zejian clasped his hands together.
“I am just a son of a branch family, how could I possibly deserve such attention from the ancestor? I am truly flattered.”
Feng Zeliu felt somewhat helpless.
"You kid, there's no need to try so hard to distance yourself from the Feng Ze family."
“The Feng Ze family’s members, whether from the main branch or a branch family, will not be ignored as long as there are no fundamental issues.”
Feng Zejian scratched his head.
"My public image isn't great either, so it's okay to distance myself from it. Besides, I'm the strategist of the Thousand Blades Pavilion now, so my stance isn't exactly friendly."
Feng Zeliu forced a stiff smile.
"Since we've come this far, there's a saying that goes, 'Don't let the good stuff go to outsiders.' Let's have the Fengze family and the Thousand Blades Pavilion cooperate as well."
To be honest, this is what Feng Zejian is most afraid of.
I initially thought they weren't here for this, but it turns out they were waiting for me here.
But since things have come to this point, there's nothing more to say.
"You should discuss it with Sister Chuan. I'm just here to come up with bad ideas; the actual decision-making power isn't mine."
Feng Zejian had no say in the matter; he simply didn't want to get involved.
When the Flower and Bird Ancestor and Sister Wangchuan are together, the nature of the situation changes completely.
In truth, Huabiao and Wangchuan are closer than twins; they were practically born from the same iron.
After pondering for a moment, Wangchuan said, "It's not impossible, but we need you all to discuss the terms together."
Feng Zeliu readily agreed.
"That's no problem. By the way, if you need it, we can also discuss the Wangchuan Cup later on. It should be quite interesting if we organize it."
"That would be perfect."
To be honest, Feng Zejian doesn't have time to deal with these things. He'll be going back in the next few days since he has nothing to do. Both Feng Zeliu and Hua Niao Lao Zu are experienced people.
This is far better than me just talking theory on paper; they can also finalize these matters quickly.
Chapter 382 Sisters and Younger Sisters, Flowers, Birds, and the River of Oblivion
Feng Zejian looked at Feng Zeming, who was sleeping soundly, and couldn't help but complain:
"How did you manage to exhaust him like this?"
Feng Zeliu waved his hand.
"Kids like him haven't experienced hardship before, and he couldn't stand the bumpy ride on the road."
Whether it was true or not, Feng Zejian just treated it as a joke.
Feng Zejian immediately stood up.
"I won't get involved in what happens next. I'm going to go back and get some sleep."
Feng Zeliu also stood up.
"I'll also settle my good-for-nothing daughter down."
Feng Zeliu carried Feng Zeming and left first.
Feng Zejian followed closely behind.
At this moment, only the two sisters remained in the room.
Actually, it's fine when there are many people, but when it's just the two of them left, they don't know how to talk.
Neither of the two sisters knew what to say at that moment.
"Little sister, how have you been all these years?"
The River of Oblivion remained silent for a long time.
"Why am I the younger sister?"
One question was abrupt, and the other answer was outrageous.
This did, however, ease the tension somewhat.
"Hehe, I think I should be the older sister."
“I feel like I should be the older sister too. There were many people around before, and I didn’t want to offend you, so I didn’t say anything.”
Hua Niao smiled slightly and said, "I am older than you."
Which one is bigger?
