Du Feng wasn't sure of Captain Fu's attitude, so it was better to be safe than sorry. Back in the lower realm, Alchemy King once told him that cutting off one's source of wealth was akin to killing one's parents. Now that the fake was exposed, everyone would be able to judge whether it was real or not.
This small action might have affected the profits of many people. Du Feng was considering leaving Hearthstone City as soon as he found Su Susu.
He didn't make any other choices this time, and went straight to a relatively large hotel. Why did he choose this hotel? It was because it was a chain hotel. It wasn't a private hotel in Hearthstone City, nor was it an official hotel.
The name of this hotel was Perch Court. It sounded like a place to rest. Du Feng had seen hotels with this name in North Shore Immortal City and Salt Lake City. However, the price was too high, and he didn't want to stay there. But this time was different. He couldn't stay elsewhere just to save money.
No matter if they rented a house, stayed in a small private hotel, or stayed in an official hotel, they would be monitored by the Fu Family. After all, they were the bosses here. Only this Qi Bo Ting was an inn operated by other forces in the Southern Heaven Realm. Even if the Fu family wanted to interfere, they would have to think twice before doing so.
"Please come in, sir. A gentleman wants to see you."
As soon as Du Feng entered the lobby on the first floor, the staff at the front desk greeted him warmly and led him to the lounge.
Who wanted to see him? Fu Xi was under house arrest, and Su Susu couldn't be the gentleman because she was a girl. Du Feng thought about it. He didn't know anyone in Hearthstone City. Could it be Fu Xi's father, Fu Yan?
However, when he walked over to take a look, the person sitting on the chair waiting for him wasn't Fu Yan, but an old man with a white beard. This man had a kind face, and his hair was so white that it reflected light. And his eyes were especially bright. They didn't look like the eyes of an old man, but more like the eyes of a child.
"Friend Du, let's talk in my room."
The old man led Du Feng inside as if he had seen an acquaintance.
Du Feng was really bold. He didn't even know this person, yet he dared to follow him. Because in his heart, he felt that this person must be a good person. With such a benevolent face, it would be too unreasonable if he was a bad person. After entering the room, the old man waved his hand to activate the formation. Then, his expression suddenly changed.
This … Du Feng's heart skipped a beat. What's going on? Could it be that I've been tricked? Just a moment ago, he was still very kind and amiable in the hall. Why did he suddenly look stunned after activating the formation in the room?
This old man was at the Golden Celestial Stage of the Great All-Embracing Heaven. Du Feng could sense that he was definitely not at the Golden Celestial Stage. Moreover, it wasn't just the Early Stage of the Perfected Golden Celestial, but at least the Fifth Stage. The old man from the Huo Family, who was at the second stage of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal and four sides, definitely did not have such a strong aura.
"Friend Du, don't blame me. I'm worried about Xi 'er."
As soon as this sentence came out, Du Feng understood. It turned out that the old man was Fu Xi's elder, but he didn't know who he was to him. Judging from his figure and skin color, he was definitely not his grandfather or great-grandfather. Every member of the Fu Family was more than two meters tall. Their skin was red with a hint of black, as if they had been roasted in a stove.
This old man's skin was white, and his cheeks were a little pink. His complexion was quite good. He was a little shorter than Du Feng, so it was impossible for him to be from the Fu Family.
After the old man introduced himself, Du Feng understood what was going on. It turned out that this old man was Fu Xi's grandfather. In other words, he was Fu Yan's father-in-law. No wonder when Du Feng was in the Lower Realm, he had never heard Fu Xi mention his grandfather. He hadn't even seen his mother.
It turned out that his grandfather had long ascended to the Heaven Realm and had brought his mother through the Heavenly Gate. Now that he had been in the Heaven Realm for a certain amount of time, his Cultivation level was not low.
The Fu Family was an ancient family, and his grandfather's side was also an ancient family. It was because their families were well-matched that Fu Xi's mother married his father, Fu Yan. It was just that these two families had a good relationship in the Lower Realm, but not in the Heaven Realm.
The main reason was that Fu Xi's grandfather's family was more powerful in the Heaven Realm. For example, the Fu Family in Hearthstone City was more powerful. When the two sides were not equal in power, they were naturally not well-matched. Therefore, after Fu Yan and Fu Xi came to the Heaven Realm, they lacked support, and their status in the Fu Family was not considered high.
So that was why. Du Feng basically understood the situation of Fu Xi and Fu Yan. Although Fu Xi's forging talent was indeed very high, most of the Fu Family were deeply rooted in the Heaven Realm. As a junior from the Lower Realm, it was very difficult for him to make a name for himself in Hearthstone City.
The so-called locking him up to train was most likely an opportunity to suppress Fu Xi. It was also because of this that Fu Xi's grandfather was worried. He had traveled thousands of miles from the East Heaven Realm's Misty City to the South Heaven Realm's Hearthstone City, and had been here for a period of time.
"So you're also from the Eastern Heaven Realm."
Du Feng was even more interested when he heard this, because he himself was also from the East Heaven Realm. The reason why he came from the East Heaven Realm was because when he ascended, he did not go through the Heavenly Gate, but through a crack in space. He was swept up by a space-time storm and randomly thrown into the desert at the edge of the East Heaven Realm.
And Fu Xi's grandfather went through the Heavenly Gate, so he definitely entered the South Heaven Realm. Why did he go to the East Heaven Realm to develop, and to a place that Du Feng had never heard of, Misty City. What kind of place was that?
In Du Feng's impression, the East Heaven Realm was much poorer than the South Heaven Realm. Even the Level 3 Immortal City that he knew of, East Immortal City, could not compare to the South Heaven Realm's Guang He City, Salt Lake City, and the economically developed North Shore Immortal City and Hearthstone City.
"This is a long story!"
Fu Xi's grandfather briefly explained the situation. In short, it was because the Linghu Family had always been developing in the East Heaven Realm. So when he first came to the South Heaven Realm, he quickly found an opportunity to go to the East Heaven Realm and brought his daughter, Fu Xi's mother, over.
But now, Fu Xi's mother wanted Fu Xi to go to Misty City as well, but the Fu Family refused to let him go. Not only did they refuse to let him go, but they also did not allow him to go out. At first, they only did not allow him to go to Hearthstone City, so Fu Xi could send someone else to bring Su Susu over.
