Chapter 1017: Elder Lin


Feiyun accepted the letter and saw that the words “Elder Lin” were written on it. “Who is this person?”


“The territory lord himself might not be able to meet the Azure Lord. Thus, we are meeting the most trusted confidant of the lord. Though he’s only a servant, he’s quite influential and feared even by the territory lords. With his help, the ranking up should be easier.” Liu Suhong said.


“If what you say is true, it won’t be easy obtaining an audience since many others will want to meet him.” Feiyun said.


She nodded: “His hobby is collecting top-ranked spirit treasures, that’s what we must do. I’ve mentioned it in the letter so when he reads it, he’ll absolutely see us. Now, the most important thing is whether you can pass this letter to him. I’m sure you won’t let me down though.”


Feiyun held the letter and didn’t read the content. He placed it into a jade box instead.


He left the residence and came across Liu Suzi by chance.


She still wore the same masculine outfit and was also choosing a messenger. This person was none other than the genius of an immemorial clan - Mo Hen.


Feiyun and Liu Suzi smiled at each other from a distance.


She watched his departing figure and said: “Feng Feiyun is more frightening than you can imagine, do not underestimate him.”


Mo Hen proudly said: “Don’t you worry, Seventh Princess. If I can’t match a half-demon, I am not worthy of working for you.”


She knew that he was prideful but most importantly, talented enough to perhaps compete with Feiyun: “All in all, you will have many capable competitors, you must somehow get Elder Lin to read the letter without diminishing my clan’s honor. Go, I await good news.”


***


Feiyun didn’t go alone either. Two more top geniuses from the first princess’ faction tagged along.


They weren’t strangers at all - the twins from Lifeless Palace, You Ziling and You Zilin. They were members of Aqua Domain’s ruling clan.


“Didn’t think we would work together one day.” Feiyun smiled.


Their domain originally supported the sixth princess. Thus, the twins were part of the alliance that attacked Liu Suzi.


Unfortunately, the sixth princess lost so they needed to follow someone else. Liu Suzi was clearly not an option so the first princess was the obvious choice.


You Zilin, dressed in a blue robe, rubbed his nose and said: “I didn’t think you would marry the first princess either, half-demon.”


“True, no one expected this.” Feiyun still smiled.


“I thought you would marry the seventh princess.” Zilin continued.


Feiyun could see why because back in Nine-abyss, Feiyun even killed paragons to protect Liu Suzi.


He nodded and said: “We’re friends.”


“Let’s go already, Mo Hen’s group is already running. We can’t let him get the upper hand.” You Ziling also wore a blue dress. She had fair skin and bright eyes with celestial glimmers around her body.


“Fine, fine, women never stop nagging. I feel like just the two of us would have been fine, my sister should be staying with the first princess… Sis, don’t grind your teeth, I didn’t mean anything by that. What I’m trying to say is that let men like us take care of the chores, you and the first princess are big shots who should plan the important stuff. Am I right, Feng Feiyun?”


Feiyun climbed up the prepared carriage and smiled: “Sounds about right.”


They could hear her grit her teeth behind them.


Once they came to Elder Lin’s residence, they saw that it was packed with people outside - messengers from the other territories.


This looked like a gathering of geniuses. The atmosphere seemed rather tense and combative since they were all competitors.


“Our West Spirit will rank up to the earth level, back off, Grove Mountain!” A crimson-haired girl managed to knock down a huge man with a palm strike despite her delicate hand.


“Creak…” A boy servant around eleven or so opened the door. He came out and announced: “The elder will not accept any letter, please leave.”


“Little one, go back and send a message that we are from the sixth prince faction of West Spirit. Our prince has been a fan of the elder for a long time and would appreciate an audience. Here are some gifts to show our sincerity.” The crimson-haired girl wore silver armor. Her broad sword was wider than her waist. She came over with a red box.


The boy didn’t accept the box and said flatly: “I already said that the elder will not accept any letter. This applies to gifts as well.”


The girl wasn’t used to being treated in this manner due to her noble background. Nonetheless, she restrained herself.


“Hmph, whatever, don’t need to be so rude.” She then left with her armored followers.


Everyone gloated at her embarrassment because she was quite stuck up.


Mo Hen came before the gate and respectfully lowered his head: “Young fellow, I am a messenger of Crimson Territory’s seventh princess. She is also a fan of Elder Lin but knows that he is very busy and does not wish to bother him. She only wrote a letter, hoping that you could give it to the elder.”


His politeness made a good impression on the youth. The latter cupped his fist and said: “Ah, I see. The elder said that the Crimson Lord is a true hero, becoming a war god in just one thousand years, what an incredible feat.”


“Then would he like to meet our princess?” Mo Hen happily said.


The youth shook his head: “The Faction Evaluation draws near so it is problematic for Elder Lin to see any princes or princesses right now. Thus, he will not meet anyone. After the evaluation, he will prepare a banquet as an apology.”


Mo Hen seemed disappointed. The youth has made it clear. Pushing the issue right now would seem unwise.


The other messengers shook their head and sighed. It seemed that Elder Lin would not interfere in this matter. They would have to find another opportunity.


“Elder Lin is renowned for his wisdom and strategy. He knows that involving himself will risk offending others so he’s choosing a policy of non-interference.” You Ziling said.


Yu Zilin frowned then told Feiyun: “Looks like we will have to find someone else. Haha, Mo Hen got rejected.”


Mo Hen glared at them and said: “What are you laughing at? Elder Lin said he won’t see anyone, you can try too and be rejected like the rest.”


“We’ll see about that…” You Zilin retorted.


Feiyun stopped him with one hand and said: “Elder Lin does not wish to be implicated in this matter, we’re leaving.”


“Haha, half-demons are so cowardly with no courage to even try. Let’s go!” Mo Hen sneered and left with his group.


“Why would the first princess like this useless brat?”


“Hahaha!”


Zilin became frustrated and said: “Feng Feiyun, why did you stop me? You care about face but I don’t, it’s still better than being laughed at by them.”


“Then you go.” Feiyun climbed up the carriage.


Zilin looked back and saw all the messengers leaving. The door was closed again. Knocking again would only make Elder Lin unhappy with the first princess.


“What are you waiting for? Come here.” Ziling yelled at him.


“Fine.” Zilin unhappily got on the carriage, looking quite sad while inside. He felt as if he had just been slapped.


Feiyun, on the other hand, had a calm expression from start to finish. Once they rode for two hours or so, he told the driver: “We’re stopping here.”


The carriage stopped and the three got off to return back to Elder Lin’s residence. As for the carriage, it returned to their place with three puppets on board.


“What are we doing?” You Zilin was confused while following Feiyun.


Ziling was also curious. Elder Lin had stated his intention, what were they going to accomplish here outside of asking for further humiliation?


“We haven’t finished our mission, we can’t go back now.” Feiyun said.


“Mo Hen laughed at you earlier and you acquiesced, now you care about face? I don’t know what to say, it’s going to be dark and no one will see us.” Zilin angrily said.


“Isn’t that the best?” Feiyun smiled.


“No, because Mo Hen might already be making fun of us back in the mansion for not trying to deliver the letter. Everyone will laugh at us tomorrow.” Zilin said.


Feiyun’s expression became serious: “Our goal is to hand over the letter, not to prove anything. If Elder Lin wishes to show others that he’s neutral, we have to go when there is no one around.”


Having said that, Feiyun headed for the gate.
