Chapter 65: The Fated One of the Huang Family
Mingyan walked out of the room and saw Huang Feiyan standing not far from the door, her hands behind her back, looking a little bored. Hearing the sound, she looked over, smiled, and waved at him, then walked over quickly.
“Mingyan, how do you feel?”
Mingyan watched her walk over, gathered his complicated thoughts, and forced a smile. “I’m sorry, Feiyan, for making you worry.”
“Don’t say sorry. But, why were you so seriously injured?” Huang Feiyan shook her head and asked with concern. “When the Demon King brought you back, your abdomen was completely pierced.”
Mingyan smiled faintly, shook his head, and didn’t elaborate.
“Aunt Yue arrived here yesterday. She seemed very angry. What did you do to make her so annoyed?” Huang Feiyan was very curious about what had happened because she had never seen Yue Wu Xia so flustered. She had seen her a few times, and her impression was that she was always cold and calm.
To make such a person so flustered, she didn’t know what mistake he had made.
“I did something stupid.” He didn’t elaborate. He was silent for a moment, then asked, “Feiyan, let me ask you a question. Please answer me seriously, don’t be perfunctory.”
“Hmm? Go ahead,” she tilted her head and smiled, nodding.
“Am I… really very stubborn and paranoid?” he asked.
Huang Feiyan was stunned for a moment, then thought of him and Ning Feixuan and smiled. Then she chuckled.
“What are you laughing at?” he was surprised.
“Because I feel like you’re only just realizing it now… Hehe, you are indeed a bit stubborn and paranoid in some places. But, in some situations, I don’t dislike it,” she nodded, her smile not fading. “But why the sudden question?”
“…”
Because Master said so…
He found that he actually cared a lot about his master’s opinion of him. Even though she said she cultivated him only because of his Human King Physique, he couldn’t stop caring about her.
His master, his senior sister, they were both very special to him.
Before he knew of Wang Qingchu’s existence, he had once seen his master as a mother and a sister. To him, they were not just master and disciple, but also family.
Even after meeting Wang Qingchu, his master was still like family in his eyes.
Hearing his master say those words, he actually felt very bad.
But if you make a mistake, you have to stand up straight and take the punishment. Otherwise, you can’t correct it.
He took a deep breath. “Perhaps I should change my personality.”
He had rashly thought that his master would be happy if he got the crystal, but the facts proved otherwise. From the result, if he had listened to his master and retreated, it might have been the best choice.
Of course, since he had already made a mistake, regret was meaningless. His master hoped he would not be so stubborn, that he would cherish his life more. Then he would do so. Perhaps he was indeed a bit stubborn, his thoughts a bit simple.
“Change?” She tilted her head and looked at him. Seeing the determination gradually appear in his eyes, she smiled. “Then change.”
“I think I am indeed too stubborn in some places…” He subconsciously thought of the matter with Ning Feixuan. He thought for a moment and said, “I want to return to the Eastern Continent as soon as possible.”
“Hmm? Why the sudden desire to go back…” Just as she was halfway through her sentence, she suddenly realized something and turned to look at him.
He felt he was too stubborn, so he wanted to change. Then he said he wanted to return to the Eastern Continent as soon as possible. This made her think of Ning Feixuan.
On the matter of Ning Feixuan, he also seemed quite stubborn, to the point of being paranoid.
“Are you… talking about the matter with Feixuan?”
“Yes. Perhaps I should have resolved this matter earlier,” he nodded. “Always waiting is not a solution.”
Her heart was pounding, and she couldn’t help but blush. His meaning was clear. He was going to get an answer.
And she had long known what Feixuan’s answer would be. He wouldn’t get the answer he wanted… The last time, he hadn’t given up. What about this time?
She looked at him, saw the determination in his eyes, and also knew what he would do after being rejected.
Her heart raced, but she quickly forced herself to calm down. No, I can’t show my thoughts yet. It’s not the right time. I can’t be impatient.
“Do you… think Feixuan will agree to you?” Her lips were a little dry, and she couldn’t help but ask.
“…I don’t know. She might refuse. This matter, to me… has become an obsession… The answer might not be that important to me anymore. If I’m rejected, it’s indeed time to let go,” he shook his head.
“…I support your decision,” she nodded. “It’s indeed time to resolve this matter.”
He was silent for a moment, looked at her, and smiled slightly. “Talking to you, I feel much more at ease.”
“Because… we’re friends,” she pursed her lips and smiled.
Friends…
If I weren’t a Human King Physique, would Feiyan be friends with me?
He thought for a moment, then felt he was getting stuck in a rut. Just because of his master’s words, he was doubting this and that?
This question shouldn’t even exist. Because if he weren’t a Human King Physique, he wouldn’t have been able to save her.
His master was right. His life no longer completely belonged to him. He couldn’t be so reckless and impulsive anymore. He still needed to save his sister. If he couldn’t even stay alive, how could he talk about protecting the people he cared about?
“By the way, I want to see Sister,” he said, coming back to his senses. “I have something I want to ask her.”
Hearing this, Huang Feiyan was a little reluctant, but she knew that since he had already spoken, there must be a reason. It definitely wouldn’t be for… doing something secretly. So she still took out the carriage. He quickly entered the small space in the carriage and found Huang Junyi.
“You’re awake?” Huang Junyi seemed to know his situation. Seeing him walk in safe and sound, she finally sighed in relief. “You, you, how could you be so seriously injured?”
“I made the wrong decision, so I was taught a lesson,” he said lightly, then said, “I have something I want you to see, Temptress Sister.”
“Hmm? What is it?” Huang Junyi walked over, checked his body with her spiritual energy, and didn’t find anything unusual. Only then did she completely relax. But after hearing his words, she showed a bit of hesitation.
He took out the Emperor Feather and held it in his hand. “Do you recognize this, Sister?”
The feather was a brilliant red, like a flame. It was not burning, just quietly held in his hand.
Huang Junyi’s expression changed slightly. She had a familiar feeling. The feather gave her a sense of being from the same source…
“This is…”
“I heard from Feiyan that an ancestor of the Huang Family once carried the Emperor Feather left by the Phoenix ancestor deep into a battlefield from the Dark Era in the Southern Continent. After that, that ancestor seemed to have died in battle, and the Emperor Feather was lost in that battlefield. Now that battlefield has become a Forbidden Zone…” he said. “I can feel an aura similar to yours from this feather. Also, this feather seems to have a similar effect to the one Feiyan mentioned. It once doubled my combat power.”
“How is that possible?!” she was shocked. “It can double your combat power?”
The Emperor Feather did have this effect, but the problem was that it could only be used by those with phoenix bloodline. He was not from the Huang Family, so how could he use it?
He nodded. “But I don’t know how to activate it. It activated automatically last time.”
Huang Junyi thought for a moment, took the feather from his hand, and carefully felt the aura on it. She was amazed. “It’s really the Emperor Feather… there’s no mistake. This is the aura of the Phoenix ancestor.”
But then, her expression as she looked at him became strange. If it was really the Emperor Feather…
Why could he use it? Could he really be the fated one of the Huang Family?
