Chapter 953: Chapter 953: Feng Qingshan’s True Identity (Part 3)
One day, when I succeed in my cultivation, I will personally visit the Hidden Sword Heavenly Palace. If you wish to leave with me then, I will take you away.
Zhu Fei silently said to himself as he watched the direction in which Chen Tianxing disappeared.
At that moment, not far from Zhu Fei, Li Han, Li Biao, and the others finally snapped out of their earlier shock.
The expressions on their faces were somewhat hesitant; they clearly understood what had transpired and wanted to comfort Zhu Fei, yet they didn’t know how to start.
For in their eyes, Chen Tianxing was already Zhu Fei’s Daoist partner, and now that Chen Tianxing was forcibly taken away by the people of the Hidden Sword Heavenly Palace, Zhu Fei must feel quite unwilling.
But in the face of the giant that is the Hidden Sword Heavenly Palace, even if they have the intention to help, there is absolutely nothing they can do.
Zhu Fei obviously noticed the unusual demeanor of Li Han and others, and he faintly smiled, saying, "By the way, Brother Li, you were looking for me earlier, is there something you want?"
Seeing Zhu Fei could still smile, Li Han and Li Biao had to admit to Zhu Fei’s heart state, and without mentioning the earlier matter, they smiled slightly, saying:
"There’s nothing much, just wanted to ask you to join us in returning to the cross-domain train."
As he said this, Li Han seemed to remember something and added, "By the way, Train Captain Feng asked me to tell you to meet him once you’re back on the cross-domain train, he has something to discuss with you."
"Elder Feng wants to see me?"
Upon hearing Li Han’s words, Zhu Fei slightly frowned.
However, he didn’t ask further questions and just nodded slightly, then proceeded with Li Han and the others, eventually returning to the cross-domain train under the arrangements of others.
Once back on the cross-domain train, Zhu Fei didn’t immediately go to see Train Captain Feng as Li Han suggested but directly returned to the worker’s cabin where he previously stayed.
Arriving at the worker’s cabin, Zhu Fei went directly to the room that Chen Tianxing once occupied.
Zhu Fei knew that since Chen Tianxing was taken away by Lan Ye, even if she wished to return here, it would probably be impossible now.
Without further hesitation, Zhu Fei made a few hand seals, and the array formation restriction on Chen Tianxing’s door was lifted immediately.
Entering the room where Chen Tianxing had stayed, Zhu Fei’s thoughts were momentarily blurred.
From their first encounter in the Cultivation World, to their meeting in the Immortal Realm, mutual support, trials, and assistance; scenes flashed through Zhu Fei’s mind like a movie.
Unbeknownst to him, Zhu Fei had already spent a full two hours in Chen Tianxing’s room.
"Sigh——"
Zhu Fei sighed softly once more, but the determination in his eyes became incredibly intense.
No longer lingering, Zhu Fei placed all the belongings in Chen Tianxing’s room temporarily into his Divine Tripod Space and then proceeded to where Feng Qingshan was with a flash.
"Stop!"
As Zhu Fei arrived at the fifth floor where Feng Qingshan was, a Profound Immortal Cultivator blocked him immediately.
Without saying much, Zhu Fei took out the Qing bronze token given to him by Feng Qingshan from his person.
The cultivator guarding accepted the Qing bronze token, examined it carefully, then, with a slightly suspicious look, nodded to Zhu Fei, saying:
"Hmm, go on in, remember, don’t wander to other places except where you’re headed."
Zhu Fei took back the Qing bronze token passed back to him, nodded to the cultivator, and proceeded straight to the fifth floor of the train.
Following the direction that Li Han previously mentioned, Zhu Fei quickly found Feng Qingshan’s room.
"Is it Zhu Fei? Come in."
As Zhu Fei arrived at the door to Feng Qingshan’s room, he heard Feng Qingshan’s voice from within.
Zhu Fei was taken aback, but quickly composed himself, pushed the door open, and entered.
It was a very spacious cultivation chamber with luxurious arrangements and decorations, incomparable to the room he currently resided in.
Feng Qingshan sat on a chair made of Immortal Wood, sipping Spiritual Tea with great delight.
Upon seeing Zhu Fei enter, Feng Qingshan gestured him to sit and then spoke, "I have heard about your situation, the influence of the Hidden Sword Heavenly Palace is too great, even I dare not easily offend them."
As he said this, a sly smile appeared on Feng Qingshan’s face, and he looked at Zhu Fei with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.
"Kid, you’ve done well, you haven’t disappointed me. For what you did before, I, Feng, must say I admire you."
Zhu Fei didn’t expect to hear such words from Feng Qingshan just upon arriving, and he gave a somewhat helpless smile.
But at this moment, he naturally wouldn’t say much, since he and Feng Qingshan were not all that familiar.
Even if familiar, he wouldn’t easily share his innermost thoughts with Feng Qingshan.
Feng Qingshan seemed to anticipate Zhu Fei’s reaction and laughed, saying:
"Kid, to be honest, I’ve been watching you the whole time, and it turns out Ghost Emperor’s vision was quite accurate; he didn’t choose the wrong person."
Feng Qingshan’s words shocked Zhu Fei, and he looked at Feng Qingshan with awe.
He never expected to hear the name Ghost Emperor from Feng Qingshan.
Does this mean that Feng Qingshan knows Ghost Emperor? Or more accurately, is Feng Qingshan actually a senior of Ghost Emperor?
Before Zhu Fei could figure it all out, Feng Qingshan’s laughter rang out again.
"Haha, kid, you’re not wrong. I am indeed a senior from Ghost Emperor’s sect. Before you boarded the cross-domain train, Ghost Emperor asked me to look after you as much as I could. Otherwise, do you really think Feng Qingshan is such an easy-going person?
Seeing some ability in you, I gave you that Qing bronze token and let you and that little girl come to me?"
Upon hearing Feng Qingshan’s words, Zhu Fei suddenly realized.
He couldn’t help but recall earlier when an elder in green robes was directly killed by Feng Qingshan for merely opposing his orders.
This also showed that Feng Qingshan was indeed not inherently a good person.
"Then, senior, what do you want from me?"
Understanding Feng Qingshan’s true identity allowed Zhu Fei to relax his guarded heart a little and directly asked what was on his mind.
