After calming himself down, Xiao Chen gently pushed open the door. The instant the door opened, he immediately saw Feng Feixue, dressed in men's clothing, holding a folding fan in her hand.
She seemed to be the same as before, without any changes. Her aura was the same as before. Her fine black hair was tied up, and the men's clothing made her pretty face look very different. She was elegant, and her aura was outstanding.
After sensing for a while, Xiao Chen discovered that Feng Feixue's cultivation was still at peak Superior Grade Martial Saint. This surprised him.
Feng Feixue had a gentle smile on her face. When Xiao Chen was sizing her up, she also carefully observed Xiao Chen.
When Feng Feixue saw Xiao Chen again, she felt that his aura was even more reserved. Furthermore, there was an additional aura that she could not understand, making him seem somewhat mysterious.
The two of them came to the table and sat across from each other. Feng Feixue picked up the teacups on the table and poured a cup of tea for Xiao Chen. She smiled softly and said, "It has been a long time. Your strength has increased again. Congratulations."
Xiao Chen received the teacup and took a sip. Then, he continued the topic, "You are the one that shocked me. After running around the continent, your cultivation is still higher than mine."
Feng Feixue smiled faintly and poured herself a cup of tea. Then, she changed the topic, "This is the first time you are in such a rush to look for me. I rushed over from the Imperial Capital overnight. Is something the matter?"
There were too many things Xiao Chen wanted to ask Feng Feixue. Now that she was in front of him, he did not know where to start.
Xiao Chen put down the teacup and organized his thoughts before saying, "I might have to leave the Great Qin Nation soon. A few months ago, you asked Ying Yue to bring me to the Imperial Capital. Can you tell me why?
"If I can help you, I will do my best. However, if I leave the Great Qin Nation, I might not be able to return for some time."
Feng Feixue smiled faintly and felt warmth in her heart. She did not expect that when Xiao Chen was preparing to leave the Great Qin Nation, he would still remember the promise he made to her.
"Indeed, with your strength, it would be good for you to go out and train. However, you do not have to worry about my promise. Even if you are at the ends of the earth, I will find you immediately," Feng Feixue said softly.
It looked like Feng Feixue was still unwilling to tell him her secret. So be it, Xiao Chen did not force her. He continued asking, "Cousin Yulan, how are things in the Heavenly Qin School?"
When Feng Feixue heard Xiao Yulan's name, a complicated expression flashed in her eyes. She said, "She received your Flowing Light Flower and is currently cultivating with all her might. She is very strict with herself, and the talent she displayed is extremely high. Currently, one of the seniors in the Heavenly Qin School has already accepted her as a disciple."
Hearing that the other party was fine, Xiao Chen relaxed slightly. The two of them chatted for a long time before Xiao Chen mentioned the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron.
Feng Feixue hesitated for a while before saying apologetically, "The Feng Clan does indeed have a method to refine Secret Treasures. However, only the Clan Head knows such a top-notch secret. I do not know it myself."
This caused Xiao Chen to be somewhat surprised. However, when he thought about it, it was indeed so. If a clan really grasped the method to refine Secret Treasures, then the strength of the clan would definitely soar.
Such an important secret was usually held in the hands of the Clan Head. Otherwise, if it was leaked, the consequences would be dire.
As for whether there were other reasons, or if Feng Feixue had her own difficulties, Xiao Chen did not care. He did not like to force others. Furthermore, Feng Feixue had already helped him enough.
Just the Heaven Ranked Movement Technique, the Blue Dragon Cloud Soaring Art, had saved his life several times at crucial moments. It was more valuable than a priceless treasure. What else was there to ask for?
Feng Feixue said, "I am really sorry about this. However, when you hand the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron over to the Feng Clan, I can pay you daily. Ten Medial Grade Spirit Stones every day, until you take the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron."
Xiao Chen waved his hand and said, "Please don't say that. Just treat it as if it's in your Feng Clan. To me, it would be a hot potato."
To Xiao Chen, this was indeed the case. If he could store it in his Universe Ring, it would be fine. However, if he could not, it would be very inconvenient.
The two of them chatted for a long time. Feng Feixue told Xiao Chen about the experts she saw in the various countries and the strange Martial Techniques. This broadened Xiao Chen's horizons, causing him to look forward to it.
In the end, just as they were about to leave, Xiao Chen could not help but ask a question in his heart. He said, "Feng Feixue, actually, I have always wanted to ask, why are you so good to me?"
The first time they met, she gave him a Blue Dragon Medicine Cauldron. The second time they met, she invited him to enter the Heavenly Qin School. The third time they met, she gave him a Heaven Ranked Martial Technique.
After that, he created a great calamity. She helped him take care of the Xiao Clan, resolving his worries. After that, she asked Ying Yue to invite him to join the Imperial Dragon Legion. She wanted to help him recover his true body and live a normal life.
All of this was a great favor. Feng Feixue helped him without any conditions, causing him to feel an indescribable sense of doubt.
In this world, there was no such thing as love without reason, nor was there any such thing as hatred without reason. Someone must have planted the seed of karma.
Feng Feixue's pretty face was slightly stunned. However, she was not too shocked. She had already expected this question from Xiao Chen.
Seeing the determination in Xiao Chen's pitch-black eyes, Feng Feixue's pretty face revealed some melancholy, "Helping you is the same as helping myself. As for the exact reason, it is not convenient for me to tell you now. When you and I can truly decide our own fates, the answer will automatically come to light."
It seemed like Feng Feixue still did not want to tell him the reason, the secret of the disappearance of the Blue Dragon Martial Spirit, and why Xiao Zhan chased her out of the clan.
These were the secrets that had troubled Xiao Chen for a long time. It seemed like it would be difficult to get answers from Feng Feixue.
What did she mean by truly deciding our own fates? Could it be that Xiao Chen and Feng Feixue's fates were not in his hands now?
Seeing the silent Xiao Chen, Feng Feixue said softly, "If you really want to know, you can make a trip to the Imperial Capital. However, I hope that before you go, you will have absolute strength. Otherwise, your fate will be completely controlled by others.
"As the last inheritor of the Blue Dragon Martial Spirit, your existence implicates the interests of too many people. It would not be an exaggeration to say that every step you take is filled with danger.
"Back then, when your father chased you out of the Xiao Clan, one of the main reasons was because of the benefits involved. He could not bear it; the entire Xiao Clan could not bear it. All you can do is become stronger; there is no other way."
Feng Feixue's words caused Xiao Chen to feel a headache. She was talking about the existence of the Blue Dragon Martial Spirit.
Xiao Chen had a vague guess in his heart. Perhaps the energy that the Blue Dragon Martial Spirit carried was far greater than he imagined. However, he did not dare to think too deeply about it.
He even purposely downplayed the connection between himself and the Blue Dragon Martial Spirit. This was because the greater the power, the greater the responsibility.
He was just a transmigrator; there was no need for him to be involved in so many schemes and schemes.
He only wanted to live for himself, to be more simple, to slowly walk the path of cultivation, to reach the peak step by step.
However, Feng Feixue's words confirmed some of Xiao Chen's guesses.
From the day he awakened the Blue Dragon Martial Spirit, whether he was active or passive, willing or unwilling, he was already implicated in certain matters. No matter how he tried to avoid it, he could not avoid it.
Picking up the teacup, Xiao Chen drained it in one gulp. He placed the teacup heavily on the wooden table and calmed himself down. He said, "No matter what the truth is, I am living for myself and the people I care about. In the end, my fate is something that I have to fight for myself.
"I am indebted to you. If I want to repay you in the future, I will not hesitate to do so. I will take my leave first."
After Xiao Chen spoke, he directly left this place. Feng Feixue looked at Xiao Chen's departing figure with an astonished expression on her face.
After a long time, a secret door outside the hall opened. A beautiful woman wearing red robes appeared in the hall.
The beautiful woman had an elegant aura. She was about thirty years old, but her exquisite face made her look like she was only eighteen or nineteen. Time did not seem to have left any traces on her face.
If one looked carefully, they might discover that Xiao Chen bore some resemblance to this woman.
When Feng Feixue saw the beautiful woman, she said softly, "Aunt, he is right in front of you. Are you not going to come out and meet him?"
The beautiful woman revealed a trace of sorrow in her eyes; the corners of her eyes seemed to be moist. She said softly, "There is no need. I owe him too much. I am already satisfied just to hear his voice."
Feng Feixue went to the window of the tall building and looked out. She saw Xiao Chen turning into a purple beam of light and flying away quickly. She said indifferently, "I believe that he is the person I am waiting for. I will do my best to fight against the decision of my father and the Elders' Assembly. The promise that has lasted for a thousand years must be passed down."
There was still a sentence in her heart that she did not say out loud. It was as Xiao Chen said, in the end, fate is something that you have to fight for yourself.
The woman that Feng Feixue referred to as her aunt looked at Feng Feixue and seemed to think of herself in the past. She sighed in her heart.
After leaving the Victorious Chief Pawnshop, Xiao Chen rested in an inn for two days. Then, he started to complete the remaining Black Sect Missions.
During the missions, he heard Feng Feixue spread the news that the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron was already in the hands of the Feng Clan and that people were welcome to come and take a look.
When Xiao Chen first heard this news, he was slightly stunned. However, he quickly figured it out. Feng Feixue was trying to divert everyone's attention from Xiao Chen.
The Dragon Phoenix Cauldron was like the eye of a storm; it attracted the attention of many powers. No matter where Xiao Chen went, his Dragon Phoenix Cauldron would attract attention. Of course, it would be attention with malicious intent.
Unless he delivered the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron to the Heavenly Saber Pavilion, he would be protected by a strong power. By doing this, Feng Feixue had done Xiao Chen a great favor.
One month later, Xiao Chen completed all the high ranked missions he had received. He started his journey back to the Heavenly Saber Pavilion.
Without the restrictions of missions, he rushed back at full speed. He returned to the Heavenly Saber Pavilion in half a month. Then, Xiao Chen headed straight for the Hall of Contributions on the Heaven Viewing Platform.
On the second floor of the Hall of Contributions, the person in charge of accepting missions verified the mission contracts that Xiao Chen handed over one by one.
"You completed all the Black Sect Missions in three months. I did not expect you to actually do it," the person in charge of the Hall of Contributions said in astonishment after he checked the contracts.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and did not say anything. These high ranked missions were all made after careful consideration.
Without absolute confidence, Xiao Chen would not accept so many high ranked missions in one go.
