Chapter 2313: Phoenix Blood Talisman (2/2)

“We don’t know yet. Huo Xing Zi was a possibility, and on the other side, we can change that if you wish. You can be the one too.” replied Huo Shang. “The person has to be very important to the Fire Shrine, but changing the person isn’t a problem, anyway. They won’t say anything if we do. We just can’t disappoint anyone.”

“On their side, Qing Feng is a good choice. Let’s get ready and go to the Void Phoenix Clan,” said the young man calmly. Huo Shang smiled thinly. They needed someone important, indeed. They had to make those people understand that the Fire Shrine didn’t have an undeserved reputation.

“I’ll organize everything,” said Huo Shang, before leaving with Huo Xing Zi.

After they left, an ordinary looking middle-aged man appeared behind the young man. Actually, he had been standing there the whole time, but it was as if he didn’t exist. Even Huo Xing Zi and Huo Shang hadn’t paid attention to him.

The middle-aged said, “Huo Shang is using you!”

“I know,” said the young man. “At least, he’s using me to earn such a position in the Fire Shrine.”

“You look more and more like him,” said the middle-aged man, smiling and leaning against a wall.

The young man was startled, and seemed to care a lot as he asked, “In what way?”

“He’s always been like that, nobody can make him do anything. He only does what he wants.”

The young man shook his head, “Not really, but I am not that free.”

“You will be, sooner or later,” stated the middle-aged man firmly.

“Thank you for your support,” said the young man. He seemed pensive. By “him”, the middle-aged man meant that young man’s idol.

Geniuses all had idols. Huo Xing Zi and Huo Shang were core disciples in the Fire Shrine, and they had very important positions. They also represented the Fire Shrine outside. They were very talented, they progressed quickly on the path of cultivation, and they had incredible fighting abilities.

However, in the Shrine, there were even more talented geniuses, more important than them. For example, Huo Shang was considered as a core disciple of the Fire Shrine, but there were other people who were considered the soul of the Shrines, and they called the shots!

On that very day, the Void Phoenix Clan received the members of the Fire Shrine with the best ceremony possible. In his courtyard, when the middle-aged man heard that they were coming, he smiled and said, “Great. That mad one is really coming.”

At the same time, some Qi appeared in the sky. A beautiful woman appeared and said coldly, “Who are you going to force Qing Feng to get married to?”

The middle-aged man raised his head and remained silent. The woman said, “Tell me!”

The middle-aged man finally smiled and said, “Force? I never forced anyone. She agreed herself. And you know with whom.”

“So you agree to say you organized all this,” said the woman coldly.

“First impressions are strongest. Stick to them,” smiled the middle-aged man. “They should be here now. The clan told me you should go and welcome them since you’re Qing Feng’s mother.”

“Bastard. Qing Feng is not going to get married to him. You want her to end up in a pit of hell.”

“You think your daughter is not good enough for him?” the middle-aged man smiled. The woman was speechless. Finally, she turned around and left.

Qing Feng didn’t know what was going on there. She was with Lin Feng, and they were chatting in a restaurant. Lin Feng and Qing Feng looked very close already. Jing was speechless. She didn’t understand what was going on.

Jing’s facial expression suddenly changed, “Qing Feng, the Clan is calling us, we have to go back.”

“I won’t go,” replied Qing Feng indifferently.

“It’s the Phoenix Blood Talisman. It must be very important, we have to go back, or the consequences will be dramatic,” insisted Jing.

Qing Feng looked surprised and said to Jing, “The Phoenix Blood Talisman?”

“Indeed. The Void Phoenix Clan uses it for the most serious orders,” said Jing nodded. Qing Feng’s eyes glittered. She said to Lin Feng, “Wait for me here. I will come back afterwards.”

“Alright,” Lin Feng agreed. He didn’t know what was going on in the Void Phoenix Clan, but letting Qing Feng go back probably wasn’t an issue.
