“Mo Chen greets Senior Feng and Madam Feng.” Mo chen bowed respectfully to the both of them.
“Young Master Mo Chen please, there is no need to be so courteous..” Feng Sanyuan stood up and quickly helped him up: “My granddaughter has received so much help when she’s away from home from you and all her friends.”
“It is only right for friends to help each other.” Mo Chen said with a smile and looked at Murong Yixuan: “Young Master Murong, I’ve heard so much about you.”
“I didn’t expect to be able to meet Young Master Mo Chen here today. To know a man by reputation is not the same as meeting him face to face.” Murong Yixuan also stood up and bowed his head.
Mo Chen smiled when he heard this: “Young Master Murong is too kind.”
“The County Ruler is here!” A guard announced. Everyone turned their heads and saw an aged man wearing chinese robes walking in, being supported by two guards.
Everyone stood up and bowed to him: “Greetings Country Ruler.”
“Everyone please don’t stand on ceremony, sit down, sit down!” The Country Ruler gestured for everyone to sit down before he sat down on the throne. He looked down towards Feng Sanyuan and his wife.
“These two must be Little Jiu’s grandfather and grandmother.” When he saw how young they looked, he couldn’t help but sighed. He speculated that Feng Sanyuan was probably over a hundred years old but because of his cultivation strength, he looked youthful. Whereas had his cultivation had been abolished, he wouldn’t have looked like he did now.
“That’s right.” Feng Sanyuan nodded and looked at him with concern: “Has Country Ruler’s health improved?”
“It’s much better, luckily Feng Jiu is here, otherwise…” He shook his head and smiled, then looked at Feng Jiu with gratitude. If it weren’t for her, he would have. How could he have had the chance to reshape his dantian and re-establish the road to immortality?
“Don’t worry Country Ruler, Little Jiu’s alchemy and medical skills are top-notch. With her around, you will soon return to the same level as you were before.” Feng Sanyuan comforted him as he felt sympathy for him in his heart.
Although they had experienced life and death, they hadn’t had their cultivation abolished like the Country Ruler. At their age, he feared that they wouldn’t have been able to withstand Feng girl’s help.
“Yes, I know, I believe in her.” The Country Ruler nodded and smiled. He looked at everyone else and said: “Tonight, we are celebrating the safe return of Old Patriarch Feng and his wife. Everyone eat and drink as much as you want, don’t stand on ceremony.”
After he had instructed the maid to pour the wine and toasted with everyone, the atmosphere became lively.
Due to his health, Xuan Yuan Country Ruler didn’t stay for long. He drank a few glasses of wine with everyone and then left early. Feng Jiu and Xuanyuan Mo Ze had given him a pill for repairing his internal alchemy. Hence, he had intended to rest early tonight and then take the pill the next day and go into seclusion to adjust his breath and nourish his qi.
On this night, everyone was drinking lots, but Old Patriarch Feng was unable to feel merry. Everytime he thought of his youngest son Feng Ye and Yangyang, he was deeply saddened. In order to avoid worrying Su Xi, he could only bury his grief in his heart. Tonight, he drank till he was drunk…
Mo Chen was also unable to enjoy himself as he was thinking about the prophecy from the divination that he had performed earlier. Because of the backlash from the divination he had performed earlier, he was feeling a little uncomfortable. He didn’t drink too much wine and only ate a little bit of food. He listened to people chatting until it was late and everyone started to leave. He glanced at the slightly drunk Feng Jiu who was being supported by Xuanyuan Mo Ze and then he got up and left.
