Chapter 962: It's Just That You're Not Going To Like It...
"If I had understood perfectly well beforehand that these meetings are boring and full of hypocrisy, I would have better stayed to continue practicing with the sword..."
Li Fengyuan let out a sigh full of regret as she looked around indifferently. The urge to want to leave was quickly building up in her, but her eyes turned to look at the beautiful and attractive woman beside her, who has long silver hair, somewhat strange but at the same time extravagant and beautiful, attracting the gazes of all the young men and even women.
"Sis Fengyuan, you don't mean to say that you are bored because you haven't found some guy who catches your eye?" Feng Zhiyun replied with a faint smirk as she listened to Li Fengyuan.
At this moment, both women were alone sitting around a small table, while casting glances around the large hall where dozens of young women and men were conversing with each other with great joy and various emotions. Several groups had formed, while very few were alone or in pairs.
Nevertheless, at least a dozen glances fell on the two of them, observing them secretly and others without discretion. Whispers and a few exclamations commenting about both women could be overheard often.
Li Fengyuan rolled her eyes and snorted, "I'd rather continue training with the sword so as not to disappoint my lord... but you instead decided to come and chat with men, I thought you were only interested in my lord, but I see you're not!"
Li Fengyuan's mocking voice was evident without discretion, looking at Feng Zhiyun as if she had discovered her intentions.
Feng Zhiyun turned to look at Li Fengyuan directly, her eyes narrowed and she smirked faintly, "What makes you think I'm interested in other men? Only Ling Tian is the only man I'm interested in and the one who has won my heart! The others are arrogant and conceited bastards!"
Feng Zhiyun's gaze shone beautifully, showing a peerless expression that attracted the gazes of almost everyone in the place, although her smile and expression was only being directed towards Li Fengyuan as she spoke to her.
"Hmph! So you say, but I see that you were chatting with various guys a while ago, especially those young masters from the big sects and families!" Li Fengyuan was not convinced by Feng Zhiyun's words and she reproached her for what she had done earlier, expressing to her that she could see through her actions.
This time, Feng Zhiyun rolled her eyes and said, "You seem to have forgotten that your lord needs some high-level heavenly herbs... what do you think it is that I have been doing? I have been researching and gathering information if any of these people or the families behind them have these heavenly ranked spiritual herbs."
In fact, the main reason Feng Zhiyun came to this meeting is to find the high level spiritual herbs that Deng Tianjin and the others mentioned to be searching for Ling Tian last time! The time they were stranded in that strange void inside the mysterious Hongmeng realm, Feng Zhiyun conversed with Ling Tian's disciple, Deng Tianjin, and he mentioned to her that Ling Tian seemed to be looking for specific herbs. Feng Zhiyun did not hesitate and asked him to tell her which spiritual herbs they were looking for.
If it were up to her, Feng Zhiyun would disdain to have come too; although she belongs to the current young generation, her cultivation level is something that has transcended on several levels and it is meaningless for her to come to this place, Feng Zhiyun could even appeal to belong to the old generation because she reached the rank of a world expert. But Feng Zhiyun only came to seek information about heavenly herbs, and nothing else; she doesn't even give a damn about the young geniuses and promising young people who are famous nowadays.
Therefore, with the main purpose of seeking heavenly herbs, if Feng Zhiyun managed to get some of these spiritual herbs, she could make Ling Tian finally take her into consideration!
This reunion of talented youths is just for the current young generation to meet and make friends, as well as create connections or integrate into new forces as long as the interests are convenient. The force behind these young people would try to recruit geniuses and future experts, so as to strengthen their power and add more experts to their ranks. Feng Zhiyun was not interested in this kind of meeting, much less Li Fengyuan.
Li Fengyuan listened to Feng Zhiyun and she couldn't help but pout a little. She had actually forgotten that Ling Tian was going around looking for spiritual herbs, but it was not her intention, Li Fengyuan only had it in her mind to train all the time with the sword so that the next time Ling Tian evaluated her he would not be disappointed by her progress.
"What about you, Sis Yuan'er? Haven't you been interested in any guys here? They are all talented geniuses who will reach the great ascension realm in the future too!"
Feng Zhiyun grinned slyly again, and she discreetly pointed her gaze towards a space in the place where several young men were gathered and chatting with each other, while some women and other men listened to them adoringly or waited for them to turn to look at them, "Look over there! If I remember correctly, that guy I think his name is Tian Chu, and he is the central disciple representing the Universal Scriptures Pavilion! The one next to him, apparently chatting, I think is Ji Shan, the young master of the Ji family! Both of them are under 50 years old, but they are already nascent soul realm experts!"
Li Fengyuan didn't even seem to hear Feng Zhiyun's words as she glared at her as if she had said something unforgivable. A glint of fury and annoyance crossed her eyes.
Feng Zhiyun noticed Li Fengyuan's cold eyes, but she immediately lifted the corner of her mouth further and quickly added, "Or how about that man over there? That one with the sword hanging from his waist just like you... he is the core disciple of the Sword God Sect, and I can see that he has a cultivation in the nascent soul realm peak stage! It is said that he will be barely about 50 years old! Don't you think he is suitable for you, Sis Fengyuan? You both practice the way of the sword and could share ideas through dual cultivation~ ... or maybe you're interested in women~?"
Countless men and women had tried to approach, but were repelled by the same mysterious barrier that prevented them from overhearing their conversations. The barrier was probably placed by a mysterious expert on the spot, which was not uncommon, as most young people in attendance were accompanied by powerful experts who either protected them from the darkness or stood a little apart to let the younger generation socialize.
Quickly, a figure approached with some haste towards the table where Feng Zhiyun and Li Fengyuan were, catching everyone's attention. This person is a young man and is wearing a simple but effective mask, which concealed a part of his face.
"Xiao'er! Did you find something?"
Seeing her younger brother return with some hurry, Feng Zhiyun was a little excited. Feng Xiao was also looking for information about the heavenly herbs. If there really wasn't any clue of the heavenly herbs, then there was no point in staying here and it would be better to return home.
Not wanting to attract attention, Feng Xiao covered his eyes and part of half of his face so as to avoid attracting attention; several people wore masks or hid parts of their faces, so he could hide his face without much trouble. Li Fengyuan no one knew her, while Feng Zhiyun would be obvious with her beautiful silver hair, but with that color change and especially that no one knew about her recovery, no one would easily connect her with the daughter of the Feng family.
"I found something, big sister..."
Feng Xiao nodded, but immediately put on a somewhat sour expression and he said, "It's just that you're not going to like it..."
"What's wrong? Tell me! Did you find one of the spiritual herbs?" Feng Zhiyun became somewhat anxious, wanting to go find the spiritual herb. It would be the first heavenly ranked herb they would find!
Li Fengyuan even paid attention to Feng Xiao, hoping that he had useful information.
"Yes, but..." Feng Xiao hesitated and said, "It seems that one of the heavenly herbs that senior brother is looking for is in possession of the Dong family..."
"Dong family?" Feng Zhiyun blinked for a second and immediately she grimaced. A trace of annoyance and hatred crossed her expression.
The Dong family is one of the strongest forces in the Heaven Territory, on the same level as her Feng family, controlling a portion of the territory. The Dong family was also one of the main forces that tried to besiege her Feng family the previous time, joining with the Miao family and the Yuan family, but they were repelled by Ling Tian.
"Why so much silence? Isn't this the day to celebrate and chat like good friends?"
A male voice quickly broke the faint silence there, causing the concentrated gazes on Feng Zhiyun, Li Fengyuan and Feng Xiao to turn towards the entrance as they noticed a group of young men entering.
Feng Xiao was slightly surprised, while Feng Zhiyun and Li Fengyuan looked indifferently towards the people entering.
"Look! It's Hou Qing! The main disciple of the World Sovereignty Sect!"
"And isn't that next to him Miao Wucheng? The young master of the Miao family!"
"Can it be that the World Sovereignty Sect and the Miao Family have joined forces?"
Two young men with their heads raised high walked in at once, the first one speaking with a bit of arrogance as he looked at everyone around him while the other one behaved a bit more reserved.
Suddenly, Hou Qing noticed Feng Zhiyun's extravagant beauty and Li Fengyuan's mysterious beauty, so he couldn't help but walk towards them while showing a faint smile full of confidence. His eyes sparkled momentarily.
