Chapter 367: Free Flying Treasure (1/2)

Grand Elder Huo's words sent a shocking strike at Meng Yan.

”Impossible… father wouldn't have hired those people to capture me.” Meng Yan flatly refused his words to be true.

Even though she had gone against him this time, Meng Yan was sure that his father would never harm her.

”Maybe he wouldn't in the past, but now with power and wealth in front of him. I bet he would risk anything, including his own daughter.” Grand Elder Huo sighed softly as he began explaining Meng Pao's motive.

”Your father wanted to sell you off to the Envoy that's coming from the Central Zone as a gift. After all, the Envoy had promised to make the Phoenix Sky Sect set foot in the Central Zone and have them as support.”

Meng Yan held a dumbfounded expression as she staggered backward.

As much as she wanted to believe her own father, she knew him the best.

Anyone or anything that could benefit her father, he would definitely do everything in his power to obtain it. It doesn't even matter if he has to sacrifice his beloved woman or not.

”Xiao Yan, I know it's hard for you to accept this, but it's best that you leave Ling City as soon as possible.” Grand Elder Huo said as he then glanced at Jing Feng and Shan Zhilan.

”I hope the two elders will understand my difficulty. I know that if Xiao Yan wants to leave, your sect must forfeit the tournament.” He added.

Shan Zhilan pondered for a few moments before turning around to look at Jing Feng.

Her meaning was clear, whatever Jing Feng's decision is, then that'll be the final choice.

Meanwhile, Jing Feng cursed at her silently as she handed the decision to her.

By doing so, the responsibility will land on her, and Shan Zhilan would be scot-free.

”You are really insidious, Shan Zhilan.” Jing Feng sent a mental transmission toward her.

Shan Zhilan smiled cheekily as she shrugged her shoulders.

Sometime later, Jing Feng took a deep breath as she held an apologetic expression to Yang Wei and the other disciples.

Yang Wei understood her decision by seeing her expression.

He held her hand secretly and sent a mental transmission to her.

”It's alright, Jing Feng. Forfeiting now might not be a bad choice since we already had our fill with the Purple Scorpion Sect.”

Jing Feng held a grateful attitude when the rest of the disciples also nodded their heads with a smile on their faces.

”Grand Elder Huo, it seemed like our Swift Feather Wind Sect would announce our departure earlier than usual.” Jing Feng said.

Grand Elder Huo smiled blissfully.

”Thank you for understanding,” Grand Elder Huo said with his utmost gratitude.

Normally, not every sect is willing to do what the Swift Feather Sect had just done.

Forfeiting a tournament after they had won against a sect like Purple Scorpion Sect was unimaginable.

Not to mention, there was a high chance they would be able to obtain more benefits since Yang Wei's strength and prowess were definitely on par with any core disciples in the powerhouse sect.

Meanwhile, Meng Yang held an apologetic look as she bowed her head toward Shan Zhilan and Jing Feng, ”I'm sorry for causing you trouble, Elder Jing and Elder Shan.”

And she continued, ”If it weren't because of me, we wouldn't have to forfeit the tournament.”

Jing Feng shook her head.

”No worries, disciple Meng Yan. We were thinking about forfeiting from the start anyway since it's taking way too long.”

”But you were just thinking about it… If it weren't because of me, you wouldn't have really gone through with it.”

”Stop blaming yourself, Meng Yan.” Yang Wei decided to intervene as he patted her shoulder.

”None of this is your fault except for your father. Greed has blinded his eyesight and now all he can do is think about how many more benefits he can reap.” He added.

Yang Wei wasn't going to be polite about Meng Pao.

Ever since he had plotted to kill him simply because of his interaction with Meng Yan, and now he heard of his disgusting deed of trying to capture his own daughter.

The grudge between them had just increased to an incorrigible relationship.

Sometime later, everyone calmed themselves as Grand Elder Huo smiled at them.

”Anyway, since my position has been discarded, would it be an inconvenience for you guys if I want to follow you back to the Swift Feather Wind Sect?” Grand Elder Huo asked.

Jing Feng shook her head.

”It'll be an honor if we have Grand Elder Huo to accompany us.” Jing Feng said.
