"Alright, I finally have someone to play with. There's nothing to talk about with you old people."
Du Feng was a sixth-stage Immortal Lord, while Fu Yan was an early-stage second-stage Immortal Lord. However, he felt that Fu Yan was too old. After all, Du Feng had gotten to know Fu Xi first and had a lot of fun with Fu Xi. As an elder, Fu Yan was indeed quite bored.
"The situation is a little complicated this time. You can help me persuade that brat."
At this point, Fu Yan actually rubbed his hands in excitement. Even if he wanted to see his own son, there was no need to be so excited. As the two of them chatted, Du Feng found out that Fu Xi had come to the sky palace to become the disciple of the Flame Emperor.
More accurately, Canyang had already brought Fu Yan to see the Flame Emperor, but the latter had not taken a liking to him. Although Fu Yan was good at forging and had a good fire-attribute cultivation technique, he was still a little old. Moreover, his aptitude was not that good, at least not as good as Fu Xi.
Therefore, this time, the Fu Clan of Hearthstone City and the Linghu Clan of the East Continent had cooperated for the first time to nurture Fu Xi so that he could break through to the Immortal Lord Realm. Then, they would send him to the sky palace to see if the Flame Emperor would take a liking to him.
"Interesting. Are you two here to become the disciple of the Flame Emperor or to be his concubine? Why are you two acting so pretentious?"
Seeing Fu Yan's hesitant look, Du Feng did not forget to laugh at him. This matter was indeed a little ridiculous. The father had not been chosen, and now he was sending his son to be chosen. It was like choosing a concubine.
"It doesn't matter what it is. As long as Xi'er is chosen, then my efforts will not be in vain."
"Oh, I heard that you were taught a lesson by that girl again."
Alright, this was retribution. Du Feng had just laughed at Fu Yan when Fu Yan turned the tables on him.
"I don't know yet. It might not be her."
Du Feng would never label a person casually. Although he suspected Shangguan Yun, he was not sure at the moment. The only thing he could be sure of now was that the Immortal Indulgence Inn had really made a move against him, and the veiled woman had personally admitted it.
"It's okay. When Emperor Yan takes a liking to my Xi 'er, he can protect you in the future."
Fu Yan's face also became thicker and thicker, looking like he had Yan Di in the bag.
"Why do I feel like you want to sell your son to someone else as a concubine?"
Du Feng rolled his eyes at Fu Yan, thinking that this guy was getting more and more useless. In order to have someone to protect him in the Heavenly Palace, he had gone to the Flame Emperor's place to perform, but in the end, he had not been chosen. Then, he would send his son away to be chosen by others.
"Sure, then I'll wait to bask in your glory."
Fu Yan was thick-skinned, but Du Feng was even thicker. In any case, he was not going to become an apprentice himself, but it was definitely not a problem to fight for glory with Fu Xi.
"Who wants to bask in your glory!"
Just as the two were chatting, Canyang came back with Fu Xi. The two of them came from the Southern Heavenly Gate, because the teleportation scroll could only teleport them to the outside of the Southern Heavenly Gate. They could not teleport to the Northern Heavenly Gate, let alone to the interior of the Heavenly Palace.
"We, we all want to bask in your glory."
Du Feng patted Fu Xi's shoulder and looked him up and down. How old was this kid? Why did it feel like he had grown up recently? Could it be that he had even adjusted his height to be valued by the Flame Emperor?
"Don't look at me like that, it's making me embarrassed."
Fu Xi felt very uncomfortable being stared at by everyone, because everyone was looking at him as if he was an animal. One moment, he was pinching the muscles on his arms, the next moment, he was patting his back, and the next moment, he was pinching the flesh on his face.
"Animal, in a while, you will know what a real animal is when you go to the Flame Emperor's place. You must perform well for me."
Fu Yan's expression suddenly became serious, as if he had recalled some unbearable memories.
Canyang laughed when he heard that, because it was the one who brought Fu Yan there previously, it was very clear about what had happened. When the Flame Emperor chose a disciple, he did not just stand there and watch. Instead, he gathered a bunch of friends to appraise the aptitude of the target disciple.
If all the appraisers felt that the person's aptitude was outstanding, then they would consider taking him in as a disciple. At that time, Fu Yan was stripped naked and stood in the middle, surrounded by people to watch. It was really embarrassing. It was already very embarrassing for a dignified Immortal Lord to be surrounded by people to watch, but the crucial thing was that there were female martial artists among the appraisers, and all of them were criticizing him.
"Ah, then I won't go. I don't want to be the disciple of the Flame Emperor."
When Fu Xi heard that, he could not take it anymore. How embarrassing was it to be stared at by a group of people when he was naked, and they even pinched him up and down, treating him as if he was an animal being selected. Are you kidding me? He never expected that his father could even endure such a shameful thing.
"Nonsense, our Fu Clan and Linghu Clan are all depending on you, how can you not go?"
Although Fu Yan's Cultivation was not much different from Fu Xi's, he was still a father. In his view, the son should listen to the father. Moreover, this matter was not just about the two of them, it involved the development and continuation of the entire Fu Clan and even the Linghu Clan.
As members of ancient clans, they had a very deep foundation. But in the Heaven Realm, without the support of the Five Emperors of the Heavenly Court, they would be suppressed sooner or later. Needless to say, the Fu Clan had not produced an Immortal Emperor for a long time.
On the contrary, many newly rising clans produced First Revolution Immortal Emperors, Second Revolution Immortal Emperors, and even Third Revolution Immortal Emperors. If this continued, the Fu Clan would really be defeated. As for the Linghu Clan, they did not have a deep foundation to begin with, so they naturally wanted to climb up to the Five Emperors of the Heavenly Court.
"Sigh, we really have no choice in the clans."
Du Feng sighed at the side. It was unknown whether he was feeling sorry for Fuxi or taking pleasure in Fuxi's misfortune. He was not a disciple of any clans, his family was still in the lower realm. Now that he thought about it, it was actually quite good.
There were very few martial artists in the lower realm that could threaten his family, they would be safer in the lower realm. If they came to the upper realm, people from the Heaven Realm, Demon Realm, Underworld, and so on could attack his family. That way, it would be easy for Du Feng to not be able to take care of them.
"That's right, I really don't want to go, why don't you go with me?"
Fu Xi also did not want to be chosen by others, but he had no choice. Even if he did not care about his own growth, he had to consider his father's feelings. His mother and grandfather were also depending on him.
Frankly speaking, Fu Xi did not have any feelings for the Fu Clan of Hearthstone City. But to be able to break through to Immortal Monarch this time, the Fu Clan of Hearthstone City had put in a lot of effort. After all, everyone was a descendant of the Fu Clan, as long as one of them was chosen by the Five Emperors of the Heavenly Court, the whole clan would benefit.
