209 I guess Im getting old too (2/2)
Lucio gave him a side glance and snorted.
”If not for your talent, do you think I would ever get a rainbow wisp as a disciple? You should be thanking the heavens that I'm this big-hearted.”
Feifei laughed a little and looked at her father.
”See? They are just made for each other.”
Wang Xin's mouth twitched. Where is the love between disciple and Master that she talked about? How come he can't see it?
”Anyway, father, I have no intention of leaving the Clan, so you don't need to worry about me joining another power.”
Wang Xin looked at Lucio and asked.
”Are you okay with this?”
Lucio shuddered his shoulders too and said.
”Why shouldn't I? My Divine Path Sect isn't a Clan. As long as our disciples don't betray or harm the Sect, I'm fine with anything. I also think this is a good thing since both sides will have their support in the future. You can deny as much as you want, but at your realm, I refuse to believe that you can't see Krune's real potential. No other cultivator or demon beast in the same realm is stronger than Krune in our Big Four territories. At most, they would be at the same level, but even that I find it hard to think about.”
Wang Mei was a lot more cool-headed than Wang Xin, so she could see things further away.
”I understand. Still, it is not a reason good enough for me to trust you. As far as I know, it could all be a trick to fool Feifei and taking away her Heavenly Fragment.”
Wang Xin immediately nodded. At least the ancestor is still on his side.
Krune couldn't help but ask.
”Then what would make you believe me?”
Wang mei replied.
”Give me a sliver of your soul, if there comes a day that Feifei dies, I will crush it and end your life too.”
Lani immediately intervened.
”You are going too far, Mei.”
But before they could discuss this issue, Krune already did as Mei said and sent and cut a sliver of his soul. He then delivered it right on her hands.
Except for Feifei and Lucio, no one expected that Krune would be that daring!
Mei received Krune's sliver of soul and looked at it with surprise in her eyes. She thought that with this one thing alone, she would be able to reveal Krune's real intention. In fact, she succeeded in doing that. However, it was a result entirely different from what Mei intended.
Lani and Uncle Feng sighed after seeing that and knew that it was now too late to stop Krune.
Wang Xin was delighted. As long as they have it, he can deal with Krune any time he wants.
Wang Mei looked at that small piece of Krune's soul with a gloomy face, though.
She then sighed and sent it back to Krune, which then immediately fused back to his soul.
Wang Xin delighted face immediately turned ugly again.
”Ancestor, this...”
Wang Mei immediately cut him off.
”Shut up! If you can't even see his determination after what happened, then you are a failure as a father! This wisp has more guts than any of those people from our territory that you have been sending on Feifei's way. Tell me, which one of them do you think would put their lives on the other's hand without thinking twice just for the sake of the one he loved?”
Wang Xin felt a little embarrassed about being rebuked like that in front of everyone.
”I...”
Wang Mei continued.
”Enough. Feifei already made it clear that she isn't leaving our Clan. Isn't that what you, the elders, protectors, and everyone else wanted? Then so be it.”
She then looked serious at Wang Xin and asked.
”If you could marry the one you loved in the end, then why can't your daughter?”
Wang Xin was taken aback by those last words, and it totally affected him deeply! He looked at Feifei and asked one last time.
”Feifei, do you really want him?”
Feifei nodded.
”If not him, then no one else.”
Wang Xin sighed and gave up.
”Fine! Don't say that I didn't try to warn you.”
Feifei immediately jumped on Wang Xin's embrace after that. She was obviously very happy with her father's approval.
Wang Xin felt gloomy instead, though.
”Just how am I supposed to explain it to your mother?”
Feifei just said.
”Oh! Don't worry, she knows already.”
Wang Xin's mouth opened wide!
”She... knows?”
Wang Xin couldn't help but feel like his position as Clan Head was more like a counterfeit. Why is it that he is the last one to know?
Lani then sent a Divine Sense message to Mei.
”That surprised me, the Wang Mei that I know would never act this recklessly. As far as I know, you would definitely keep Krune's life in your hands.”
Mei heard that and sighed.
”I guess I'm getting old too. That's all.”
Lani couldn't help but laugh at that comment.
Wand Mei then decided to go back to the main topic.
