Directly questioning? Feng Jun felt a bit numb in his scalp as he thought, what sore spot have you caught of mine?
He always prided himself on being a principled person, but he was very aware that he was rely a principled person, not a clean one.
The things Feng Jun did that couldn’t see the light of day were not many—at least certainly not as many as Qu Jianlei, but definitely not very few either.
He also wanted to be both principled and clean, but that was impossible. The reason he could console himself with was: I did those unclean things for peace of mind, not to intentionally harm others.
This reason ca from the bottom of his heart, so he could also face his uncleanliness calmly: I just don’t have the strength to be clean.
But when True Immortal Yuanfu said he wanted to question him about so things, he felt a bit guilty.
However, retreating was not an option. He could only nod and say, "No problem, if I did sothing wrong, True Immortal, feel free to ask, but if I did nothing wrong, then I may not answer... I only accept questioning, not providing assistance."
Ultimately, he still believed that the other party wanted to seek help from him. Otherwise, there’s no reason for first a Golden Core Eighth Layer female attendant to apologize, then a Nascent Soul True Immortal to also reflect on their own faults, and even present a gift.
Would a True Immortal humble themselves this way toward a Master who made a mistake? After all, I’m not the illegitimate child of so Out-of-Body Big Boss.
Upon hearing this response, True Immortal Yuanfu had a sowhat strange expression: This kid is really stubborn and steely.
But now the arrow was on the bowstring and had to be released, so he could only keep a cold face and huff, "Let reintroduce myself. Although I co from the Five Pillar Realm, my family originates from the Kong Qi Realm... My surna is Feng!"
Feng Jun blinked and slowly nodded, "Go on, I don’t know what you want to question about?"
In fact, he already understood why the other party had co over. Strictly speaking, this was indeed one of his unclean matters, but he really didn’t believe the other could find his flaws.
True Immortal Yuanfu stared at him intently, even locking his soul on him, clearly trying to discover any improprieties.
For such behavior, not to ntion Feng Jun, others couldn’t exactly bla it either—a Nascent Soul True Immortal barging into a private residence is one thing, but a Nascent Soul True Immortal investigating sothing is another nature entirely.
Because he was locking onto Feng Jun’s subtle changes, True Immortal Yuanfu smiled sinisterly, "Your emotions are fluctuating a bit, I’m curious... You refused to cooperate just now, why are you so cooperative now?"
To his surprise, Feng Jun rudely waved his hand, "Ask if you’ve got a question, I’m cooperating with your questioning. As for emotional fluctuations, that’s quite normal... Kong Qi Realm, and with the surna Feng, you must be Senior of Feng Yishu, right?"
After a pause, he continued, "I have t Feng Yishu and asked myself if there was any error in my deductions."
Then his gaze shifted to the not-far-off Qinggang Private Courtyard, "Broken Blade Steward... Could you explain this?"
Currently, there were five stewards at White Pebble Beach. The stewards from the other four stands had all arrived, only the Qinggang Sect’s steward was missing.
A figure flashed, and Broken Blade Steward appeared, bowing with a bitter smile, "I’ve t True Immortal Yuanfu... I also witnessed Mountain Master Feng’s deduction process back then. There was truly nothing unusual, and I have explained this to you."
He should have co out earlier, but upon realizing the visitor was True Immortal Yuanfu, he dared not—what if Feng Jun misunderstood that he had invited trouble? Where would he find reasoning then?
But now he had been nad, and he had no choice but to co forward despite his reluctance.
True Immortal Yuanfu saw he spoke openly, knowing that he couldn’t fabricate accusations, but the might of a True Immortal allowed for so display of anger. Thus, his face sank, "Feng Xiaoyou, you accepted my family’s junior’s fee for the deduction but delivered no results... Is that appropriate?"
"What’s inappropriate here?" Feng Jun tilted his head, looking at him quizzically, "A doctor can’t cure a dead disease, and Buddha... If I can’t deduce the result, what should I do, return him the Spirit Stones?"
"How could that be possible?" Master Guyue let out a cold laugh. Since Feng Jun was confronting a True Immortal, many onlookers had gathered around, and though none were True Immortals themselves, each major force typically had a True Immortal backing them.
Master Guyue didn’t originally intend to step out, but since this True Immortal had connections with Qinggang and Broken Blade Steward was being so submissive, if he didn’t step out to confront him, he would fail as a Master of the Taiqing Sect, "The matter of deductions... is inherently based on luck."
True Immortal Yuanfu glanced at him sideways, initially not wanting to bother, but upon realizing this individual was at Golden Core Peak, he considered making an example of him, "Who do you think you are?"
"Reporting to True Immortal, I am the Supre Elder of Taiqing," Master Guyue wasn’t angry, just looked at him with a half-smile, "I’m especially easy to bully, so feel free to vent your frustrations on ."
Great Supre Elder of Taiqing... The True Immortal Yuan Fu was speechless. He was aware that the Qinggang Sect and Taiqing Sect were fierce rivals, but the conflict wasn’t as severe as this.
Though there is competition between Taixu Sect and Yuangang Sect, in the Tianqin Plane, their relationship isn’t that bad. In fact, to so extent, they’re still allies—both sects prioritize elental qi.
However, because the two sects share similar philosophies, it has led to intense conflicts between their lower branches in the lower realms.
This is why he could only tolerate Master Gu Yue’s "provocations," so he nodded, "You have guts."
"I have nothing else, but plenty of guts," Master Gu Yue didn’t care about him at all. What about a True Immortal? As a cultivator, if he dares to challenge the Heavenly Dao, what’s a re True Immortal? "I am truly easy to bully."
True Immortal Yuan Fu knew he was facing soone arguntative and didn’t bother to respond. Instead, he looked at Feng Jun, "I don’t an to use force to oppress, nor will I discuss those extrapolation fees, I simply want to know if you can help my Feng Family disciple once again... assist him in forming a Nascent Soul?"
"Regardless of any further costs, I will bear them. Rest assured, I won’t..."
"There’s no need for you to say more," Feng Jun directly interrupted him, speaking arrogantly, "I’ve already done the extrapolation, earned my Spirit Stones, and I will say...it is beyond saving for Feng Yishu. He is destined not to form a Nascent Soul. I won’t return the Spirit Stones!"
True Immortal Yuan Fu was furious upon hearing this. Even if his initial attitude was sowhat problematic, he truly ca with the intent to resolve issues—if not, why would he, a True Immortal, bother coming to the lower realm?
His eyes narrowed slightly, "So why do I feel there’s a problem with Feng Yishu not forming a Nascent Soul?"
Feng Jun was aware that his every move was constantly locked onto by the opponent’s soul. The opponent even released a slight pressure to try and sway his mindset.
He didn’t know how much of his subtle ntal change the opponent could capture, but thinking to intimidate him solely by aura was impossible. He smiled faintly, "If there’s a problem, True Immortal, you should ask Feng Yishu..."
Then he raised his voice slightly, obviously a bit agitated, "The cultivators from the Kong Qi Plane coming to Kunhao to form Nascent Souls—this operation I hardly understand anymore. Now you’re asking , a Kunhao native, what’s wrong in this, is it my responsibility to know?"
The onlookers began whispering softly upon hearing this, and many Masters’ expressions weren’t looking good.
Such things like migration for examinations can appear on Earth in Huaxia, so naturally, it can happen in other planes too. Most Masters are well aware of such incidents, and under normal circumstances won’t make a big deal of it.
However, ordinary cultivators tend to care quite a lot. For Feng Yishu to cultivate all the way to the Golden Core Peak, the resources consud are evident, and he occupied resources that should have been for the people of Kunhao.
The disciples of Qinggang mostly heard about this, but with the steward’s support and the Feng Family being a Nascent Soul Family, many only dared to be angry without speaking out. Moreover, the sect also said that Feng Yishu contributed a lot of resources to Qinggang, so this matter was left unresolved.
Yet, the cultivators outside of Qinggang Sect wouldn’t agree—you wish to form a Nascent Soul, which requires an imnse amount of nature’s spiritual energy, all of which is the wealth of Kunhao. Why should it benefit you, who ca from Kong Qi?
The reactions of the Golden Core Masters aren’t too intense—once at their level of cultivation, they’ve seen countless unfair matters. Though the Feng Family’s actions were indeed against rules, they operated sneakily, falling into a gray area that’s both debatable and not worth debating.
However, the Transcendent Masters—especially those from Taiqing, as bitter adversaries of Qinggang—started clamoring.
Then many began to echo, feeling that the Feng Family’s actions were overly aggressive—nobody pursued your family’s examination migration, you could have laughed secretly, but now you dare question Feng Jun, do you really think the cultivators of Kunhao are so easily bullied?
True Immortal Yuan Fu was montarily stunned by this realization. Of course he knew that this matter shouldn’t be publicized, but similar situations have always been a gray area, against rules but not too overly if kept in moderation, and most sects turn a blind eye.
That’s why he didn’t take it too seriously, and faced Feng Jun very directly to introduce himself—being a Nascent Soul True Immortal, having such minor privileges is quite normal, isn’t it?
However, as Feng Jun brought this matter to light and seeing the agitated crowd around him, True Immortal Yuan Fu realized he couldn’t pursue this issue further—after all, he neglected so things, and at the mont, on White Pebble Beach, the lower-level cultivators from large forces were far too many.
Yet, a True Immortal is ultimately not to be dishonored. True Immortal Yuan Fu may shelve Feng Yishu’s matter, but he won’t easily let go of Feng Jun, who deliberately stirred trouble.
He released a subtle Nascent Soul pressure, "Those causes and effects are unrelated to , which I don’t fully comprehend right now. I just want to ask, why when discussing this matter do you have such intense soul fluctuations... what exactly did you do?"
"If True Immortal says this, it’s just wanting to find fault," Feng Jun responded calmly, "the Kong Qi Plane cultivators coming to Kunhao to form Nascent Souls originally plunder from my Kunhao, and I’m even troubled—do I not have the right to be angry?"
True Immortal Yuan Fu sneered and intended to take action, "Silver-tongued, it seems today I..."
"You won’t be able to do anything today," a Golden Core Ninth Layer Master parted the crowd and slowly stepped forward.
