Chapter 376: It Seems to Be Called Lin Feng
At this moment.
In the reception hall of the Medicine King Valley, a group of people had gathered, chatting and laughing.
The valley master, Yao Simiao, sat in the upper seat.
To the lower left sat Hua Yunfei, Zhao Wuji, and Yao Chen.
It was evident that Hua Yunfei’s complexion had improved significantly; dressed in white, he appeared refined and elegant, like a graceful young master…
To the lower right sat two individuals.
One was a young man, and the other an old man.
The young man wore a black robe and held a paper fan depicting the Qingming Shanghe Tu, chatting with Hua Yunfei and the others, a faint smile playing on his lips.
As for the old man, his expression was much colder!
“Hua brother, my conditions are already quite generous. How have you considered them?” the young man in black asked with a smile.
“Brother Zhao, there’s no need to bring this up again!”
“I, Hua Yunfei, have been impoverished since childhood, with physical shortcomings that prevent me from practicing martial arts! Grateful for the country’s protection, I vowed to serve the nation and lead the Great Xia to become number one in the world!”
“If I were to follow you, what would be the meaning of my existence?”
Hua Yunfei shook his head slightly, then added apologetically, “The Zhao family, known for its long history, has even been part of the royal family throughout the thousands of years of the Great Xia. Surely you can understand my position!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the hall fell silent.
The smile on Zhao Wu’s face gradually faded as he lightly waved his paper fan, his deep-set eyes fixed on Hua Yunfei, lost in thought.
At that moment, an old man in gray beside him suddenly snorted coldly and said, “Hua Yunfei, my young master has traveled all the way from Mount Tai, making three visits to your humble abode with utmost sincerity! Is your response not a bit unreasonable?”
“Calm down, calm down! Everyone, let’s sit down and have a good talk,” Yao Simiao quickly stood up, smiling to ease the tension.
“You have no right to speak here!” the old man in gray sneered.
Upon hearing this, Yao Simiao’s face turned a mix of colors, but he did not dare to retort.
The other party had an extraordinary background, claiming to be from the Zhao family, one of the oldest families in the Great Xia, and definitely not someone they could provoke!
Even the Law Enforcement Department, which Zhao Wuji was affiliated with, had to tread carefully around them…
Just three days ago, for reasons unknown, the Zhao family from Mount Tai suddenly visited the Medicine King Valley, promising generous conditions, wanting Hua Yunfei to marry into the Zhao family and serve them…
Hua Yunfei, grateful to the nation, naturally refused.
Thus, the current scene unfolded.
“Today is not over two thousand years ago; this is the Great Xia. Since Scholar Hua is unwilling, why must you persist?” Zhao Wuji could no longer hold back and spoke in a deep voice.
As a member of the Law Enforcement Department, backed by the Great Xia, he had some confidence!
“Bang!”
The old man in gray suddenly struck out, sending a palm towards Zhao Wuji from a distance.
Zhao Wuji’s expression changed drastically; he wanted to block it but realized he was no match for the old man. He was immediately sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
“What are you? How dare you point fingers at me? Even Situ Yunxiao would have to show me some respect!” the old man in gray said indifferently.
“You…”
Zhao Wuji was both shocked and angry but dared not say anything further!
He was certain that if he spoke again, the other party would surely harbor murderous intent!
“Swish~”
Seeing this, Hua Yunfei, Yao Simiao, Yao Chen, and the others all stood up from their seats, their expressions grave.
“Alright, business is business! There’s no need to make it so tense!” Zhao Wu smiled, trying to mediate.
“Young master, your heart is too kind. Dealing with such insignificant beings, when it’s time to kill, just kill! After taking out a few disobedient ones, they will learn to fear!” the old man in gray said flatly.
“Hehe…”
Zhao Wu chuckled but said nothing.
Seeing the two of them play off each other, filled with disdain for themselves, Yao Simiao, Yao Chen, and the others couldn’t help but look extremely grim, yet they had no other options!
The other party was clearly using both soft and hard tactics to force Hua Yunfei to submit!
“Brother Zhao, why must you make things difficult for me?” Hua Yunfei suddenly sighed.
“It’s not that I want to make things difficult for you; it’s that you are not giving me face!”
“What kind of person am I, Zhao Wu? How many people in the world are worthy of my three visits to request an audience?”
“Hua brother, this is precisely why I value you. If it were someone else, there would already be rivers of blood on the ground!” Zhao Wu said word by word.
Hua Yunfei fell silent for a moment and asked, “What exactly do you want me to marry into the Zhao family for?”
“To break through the path of cultivation!” Zhao Wu said with deep meaning.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the hall was taken aback.
Hua Yunfei had been researching how to enable ordinary people to practice martial arts, which they already found quite astonishing!
They never expected the Zhao family to be even more ambitious, aiming for the path of immortality!
Cultivating requires spiritual roots; this is a consensus among all!
It is definitely not something that can be solved through research!
“Your intentions are definitely not that simple. If I guess correctly, you want me to help you transplant spiritual roots, right?” Hua Yunfei suddenly said.
Zhao Wu was momentarily stunned, seemingly not expecting Hua Yunfei to guess his purpose so quickly!
Indeed!
It was absolutely impossible for someone without spiritual roots to cultivate!
But if one were to transplant the spiritual roots of someone who has them into someone who does not, there is a significant possibility.
In his view, Hua Yunfei might very well possess such an ability!
And even if he didn’t, trying it wouldn’t hurt!
“Hua brother, you are very clever. A wise person should do wise things! I will ask you one last time, will you agree?” Zhao Wu asked slowly.
“I will not do anything that harms heaven and reason!” Hua Yunfei shook his head.
Upon hearing this, the smile on Zhao Wu’s face completely vanished, and a cold aura emanated from him, causing the temperature in the hall to drop below zero!
The old man in gray wore a fierce expression, looking as if he had already reached his limit!
Seeing this scene, Yao Simiao, Yao Chen, Zhao Wuji, and the others felt a chill run down their spines, secretly thinking that things were not looking good…
At that moment, a guard from the Medicine King Valley suddenly rushed in and respectfully said to Yao Simiao, “Valley Master, someone is asking to see you outside!”
“Who??” Yao Simiao immediately asked.
“It’s the one who came to our Medicine King Valley before and helped Scholar Hua with his treatment. I think his name is Lin Feng…”
