Ch593 - Self Introduction

The new courtyard was decorated with large red characters for “joy” and draped in red curtains, making it clear that today was a day of celebration.

Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu sat in chairs as Xiaoyuan knelt on the ground, kowtowing to her Master. “Master, thank you for allowing me to marry Xuanyuan Cheng. I’ve already raised a new Queen for the Spirit Insects. As long as you bond with the new Queen, the Spirit Insects will still be yours. There’s no need to give them to me.”

“Xiaoyuan, I don’t feel comfortable leaving you here by yourself. Besides, the Spirit Insects can keep you company so you won’t be lonely.” Liu Mufeng reached out to help Xiaoyuan up.

“But I’ve already wronged you so much. How could I take your Spirit Insects?” Xiaoyuan was unwilling to accept this. She felt that leaving her Master to marry someone else was already too much of a betrayal; she didn’t want to take her Master’s Spirit Insects as well.

“That’s right, Mufeng. I’m already happy that Xiaoyuan is marrying me. You worked so hard to raise these Spirit Insects, they should stay with you.” Holding his wife, Xuanyuan Cheng agreed. He knew that his wife had always felt guilty toward Liu Mufeng, as if she had betrayed her Master and wronged him.

“No, you two, let me finish. I have certain conditions for leaving the Spirit Insects with you.” Liu Mufeng said with a smile.

“Master, please tell us what you need.” Xiaoyuan said immediately, looking at her Master.

“Yeah, Mufeng, we’re all family now. If there’s anything you need, just tell us.” Xuanyuan Cheng nodded and said the same thing.

“En, then I won’t be so polite. Xiaoyuan, you know that my most important people are my Master and myShidi.XiaoXu’s most important person is also his Master. They’re currently in Tiger Roaring Heaven, and I’m actually quite worried about them. However, Xuanxuan is in the Upper Heavenly Domain, and I have to go pick him up. So…”

“Don’t worry, Master. I’ll go to Tiger Roaring Heaven and bring Alchemist Jiang and the others back to Lingze Heaven. I’ll take care of their safety along with the Spirit Insects and Xuanyuan Cheng. Once you’ve settled down in the Upper Heavenly Domain, you can come back to Lingze Heaven to pick them up.” Xiaoyuan immediately understood what her Master was saying.

“Okay, then I’ll leave them to you, little Sister.” Liu Mufeng nodded. He didn’t need to say anything else to Xiaoyuan. After all these years, he trusted her completely.

“Don’t worry, Master. I’ll take care of them.”

“Okay.” With Xiaoyuan taking care of things, Liu Mufeng was able to relax.

“Mufeng, it’s only been a few days since Xiaoyuan and I got married. Why don’t you stay in Lingze Heaven for a few more years?” Xuanyuan Cheng didn’t want to part with his good friend.

“No, we’ve already had the wedding feast. Tomorrow, we’re going to go on an appointment with Patriarch Xuanyuan and Elder Lin. After that, we’re going to the Upper Heavenly Domain.” Liu Mufeng replied.

“Patriarch Xuanyuan, there’s no need to worry. I think that the Sect Leader is probably just looking to talk peace. He doesn’t have any ill intentions.” Liu Mufeng was quite optimistic about the situation. He felt that if the Sect Leader wasn’t a complete idiot, he would choose to talk peace instead of stubbornly trying to get revenge for his Sect Elders. At most, he would try to get some compensation out of the situation.

Seeing how calm Liu Mufeng seemed, the Xuanyuan Clan Head smiled wryly. “I hope you’re right.”

“Little One, you’re much more optimistic than us two old men.” Elder Lin said with a wry smile.

“Many thanks to Elder Lin for accompanying me on this trip. I’ll never forget your kindness.” With that, Liu Mufeng clasped hands and bowed to Elder Lin.

“Ah, don’t be so formal. Cheng’eris my disciple, and Patriarch Xuanyuan is an old friend of mine. You also put a lot of effort into helping my adopted Daughter. I’ve been watching all this time. It’s nothing to accompany you on this journey.” Elder Lin waved his hand and said nonchalantly, “Besides, I’m just glad to be able to help.”

His disciple had practically worn out his tongue begging for his help, so how could he not come?

“Regardless, I’m very grateful to you.” The Xuanyuan Clan Head was now Xiaoyuan’s Grandfather, which meant that he was technically a member of the family. However, Elder Lin was here to help, so Liu Mufeng naturally had to express his gratitude.

“There’s no need to thank me. You should take advantage of the time you have left to think about how you’re going to apologize to the Yutian Sect’s Sect Leader. We’ll be arriving at the meeting place in six hours.”

“I understand. I’ll definitely think about it.” Liu Mufeng nodded in agreement.

“Mufeng, why don’t you join the Qingyun Sect? If you do, the Yutian Sect’s Sect Leader won’t dare to treat you too harshly.” After some thought, the Patriarch Xuanyuan came up with this idea.

Liu Mufeng smiled wryly. “Many thanks for the kind offer, Senior Xuanyuan. However, I don’t want to stay in Lingze Heaven. I want to go to the Upper Heavenly Domain.”

“Ah, you! You’re so stubborn.” In fact, Patriarch Xuanyuan had mentioned joining the Qingyun Sect to Liu Mufeng on several occasions, but he had always refused.

“Fine. This kid is definitely not a pond fish. Don’t force him, old friend. If he wants to go to the Upper Heavenly Domain, then let him go. The Qingyun Sect has a famous sect there as well. If he wants to join a sect after getting there, he can do that too.” Elder Lin laughed.

The first time he had met Liu Mufeng, he had been sure that he was no pond fish and would definitely go to the Upper Heavenly Domain. Sure enough, that was where he wanted to go.

“That’s true. Mufeng is a genius. He definitely shouldn’t be buried in Lingze Heaven.” The Xuanyuan Clan Head nodded in agreement.

Six hours later…

When the group of eight arrived at the appointed meeting place, they saw a table and a chair set up on the mountain. A man wearing black robes and a golden crown sat in the chair, leisurely drinking tea.

“Greetings, Fellow Immortal Sun!” Patriarch Xuanyuan and Elder Lin smiled as they clasped hands in greeting.

“No need for formalities. Please, have a seat.” With that, Sect Leader Sun waved his hand, and three chairs appeared next to the table.

Patriarch Xuanyuan and Elder Lin sat down on either side of Sect Leader Sun. Liu Mufeng, who had come uninvited, sat down across from him.

Sect Leader Sun couldn’t help but frown when he saw the young immortal sitting across from him.

“Sect Leader Sun, my name is Liu Mufeng. It’s an honor to meet you.” Liu Mufeng cupped his hands in greeting and introduced himself.

Sect Leader Sun’s expression grew cold. “Oh? You’re the one who killed three of my Sect’s Elders, Liu Mufeng.” As he spoke, his eyes narrowed dangerously, and he crushed the porcelain teacup in his hand.

“That’s right. I got into a bit of a fight with those three Elders. They tried to kill me, so I accidentally killed them.” Liu Mufeng’s expression was one of helplessness.

“You…” Sect Leader Sun’s face was ashen.

“Fellow Immortal Sun, don’t get excited. Let’s talk this out, okay?” Patriarch Xuanyuan hurriedly tried to smooth things over.

“That’s right, Fellow Immortal Sun. He’s just a kid. Don’t stoop to his level.” Elder Lin nodded and also tried to smooth things over.

Sect Leader Sun looked over at the two Immortal Emperors sitting next to him and snorted coldly. However, he didn’t say anything else.

Liu Mufeng took out a set of glass tea cups and began to brew tea. Afterward, he presented the cups to the three Immortal Emperors. “This Junior is familiar with the Art of Tea making. This is some immortal tea that I grew myself. Please try some.”

Patriarch Xuanyuan looked at the teacup in front of him, then picked it up and took a sip. “Mnn, not bad. Not bad at all. Good tea!”

“It smells very fragrant!” Elder Lin said as he picked up his own teacup and took a sip.

Sect Leader Sun looked down at the tea in his cup. “The aroma is soft and fragrant, and the color of the tea is golden. It’s light but not too weak. The skill is definitely there.” With that, he also took a sip of tea.

“Many thanks for the praise, Sect Leader Sun. I can tell from your words that you must also be an expert in the Art of Tea.” With that, Liu Mufeng poured some tea for the three Elders.

“You little brat, don’t think that a cup of tea is enough to buy me off. Today, you have to give me an explanation regarding the three Elders of my sect. If you don’t, then don’t blame me for being rude.” As he spoke, a cold gleam appeared in Sect Leader Sun’s eyes.

“Very well. Since Senior has spoken so frankly, I won’t beat around the bush either. Three Elders, three lives. I’ll offer three favors to the Yutian Sect. As long as it’s within my power and doesn’t violate my personal principles, I’ll do anything Sect Leader Sun asks. How about that? Is that good enough?” Liu Mufeng looked at him and then offered his own solution to the problem.

Sect Leader Sun’s face twisted strangely. “Three favors for three lives? Who do you think you are, boy?”

“This Junior is not very talented and doesn’t have much ability. I’m just a young kid who’s only reached the early stage of Immortal King. However, my Adoptive Father is the Emperor of the Dragon Race in the Upper Heavenly Domain. When it comes to speaking with my Adoptive Father, I do have a bit of weight behind my words.” Looking at the three petrified old monsters, Liu Mufeng calmly continued speaking.
