Mortal To Immortal (Book 1)
MTI 157 - Care Uncaring
Away from the position of Xiao Ni who was in the Valley of the Poison Heart or Yao Han who was on his way to the Purple Star Sect, on Star Moon Island, Feng Xian stood facing the vast forest while staring at the starry dark sky. It was night time.
There is no moon of any kind above the sky. His look looked bright. There was no expression on his eyes or face.
After a while, his flat face changed. Highlight his eyes slightly sharpened and if he paid more attention to it, there was a highlight of concern there. His forehead shrinks thin, characteristic of people who are riled or think of something quite heavy.
"Today my feelings have not been good. The longer the bigger the hell..."
Feng Xian then walked towards the porch of his house and sat there. He took out a small urn containing Yao Han's Moon Peach Arak which became his favorite drink.
"Ahh... This sweet wine makes me a lot calmer." Feng Xian chuckled after taking a gulp down one of the small wine jars.
In his spatial ring, the remaining wine jars were only three pieces. That was why before Xiao Ni went to Yao Han's place and drove the two Xu sisters back to the Valley of the Poison Heart, Feng Xian asked to bring all the Peach Moon Arak that Yao Han had.
Feng Xian sighed again, his gaze leading into the distance, "This feeling... will there be another war? Aish, those fools really don't have brains."
Throughout his life, Feng Xian had always felt a bad premonition when something electrifying happened relating to the life of the world of cultivators, especially when there was going to be a great war. Not only a dozen times, but dozens of times and that he usually felt at least once every ten years.
"Xiao Han's..." Feng Xian muttered the name of his only disciple, Yao Han.
Everyone who knew Feng Xian the East Wind, would definitely mention his temper as a person who did not care about anything, be it on the world of ordinary humans or the world of cultivators. However, that's not entirely true. To those who knew him quite closely, Feng Xian's temperament was not that bad.
Three of the Four Storkers, Xiao Ni the Rainbow Stork, even Meirong and Yutian who were less than twenty years old living with Feng Xian on Star Moon Island could tell that the stern-faced man had quite a high caring attitude towards the person closest to him.
If anyone were to ask who the closest and most caring person to Feng Xian was right now, then there would be one name mentioned. Who else if not Yao Han, the only disciple.
No one knew, but ever since Feng Xian accepted Yao Han as a disciple, he swore inwardly that he would only make Yao Han the only disciple he had in his entire life.
Ever since Yao Han was around and spent time living together on Star Moon Island, Feng Xian's indifference slowly diminished as his concern grew.
But Feng Xian did not show his concern openly and was covered with a firm attitude or unfiltered speech that he had ever uttered.
Feng Xian recalled a small conversation with Yao Han a few years ago, about him being able to eliminate all the cultivators he thought he could not make the Blue Moon Continent truly peaceful.
However having a disciple like Yao Han, that wild thought of Feng Xian could not be done so easily. Given the character and temperament of Feng Xian and his students were opposite. Feng Xian himself did not know whether he should be happy or sad towards his disciple.
Feng Xian had to admit, his disciple was extremely talented, but Yao Han's mindset differed quite a bit from his. Feng Xian had a different look to Yao Han towards the establishment of the tranquility and peace of life of all the beings in the Blue Moon Continent.
"If a cultivator war is going to happen again, do I need to intervene like twenty years ago?"
Quite seriously Feng Xian mused, not long after he chuckled, "We'll see. That little monster must protest if I get back into action."
***
Everyone in the room, especially those who knew the name of the East Wind clan, was, holding his breath and sweating coldly as Xiao Ni mentioned about Feng Xian and the actions he might take if the cultivator war were to happen again.
It was still fresh in the memories of the high-ranking Poison Heart Valley when Feng Xian appeared on the large battlefield twenty years ago, because the Poison Heart Valley was one of the main parties involved, he said, other than the Sky Mountain Sect and the Immortal Sword Sect, which led to the participation of the other ten-star sects in the two-year-long war.
"I hope that war will no longer occur in the Green Forest Country. Just a suggestion, do not want to be invited to cooperate with the Moon Cloud Sect and get involved in the war. Yao Han, that Senior Feng disciple was busy wandering around the Green Forest Country. What do you think Senior Feng would do if his disciple was caught in a life-threatening situation?"
Xiao Ni added, if Feng Xian found out Yao Han was dragged into a cultivator war that was likely to occur in the Green Forest Country region and the Poison Heart Valley to be one of the sects involved in that war, then most likely the Poison Heart Valley became one of the sects that would remain a name.
Xiao Ni did not plan on staying any longer, he cupped his hands and slightly bowed, "Thank you for the banquet and the gifts you gave. I'm stepping down."
Xiao Ni did not wait for their response, then turned around and exited the room. They could see the figure of Xiao Ni coming out of the biggest building in the sect. Xiao Ni floated high and flew away quickly away from the Poison Heart Valley in the form of the Rainbow Stork.
"Senior Xu, who exactly is he?"
Hui Jin knew Xiao Ni was the spirit animal that delivered Xu Yang and Xu Yin back to the sect, but he did not know Xiao Ni's true background.
"He was named Xiao Ni, the spirit beast that Senior Feng the East Wind was subordinate to." Xu Lao let out a long sigh then glanced at She Liu, "Now I understand the reason Xiao Ni in his original form is not foreign to us. He was the Rainbow Stork that came together with Senior Feng to the battlefield twenty years ago."
Everyone there then understood, Xiao Ni was the figure who came with Feng Xian ruffling the battlefield to stop the great war of cultivators back then.
