The Journey of Feng Zun 2
Chapter 19
Emperor Long walked in and walked over.
Then he bowed slightly, to pay his respects and to express his sincere gratitude to Feng Zun.
Soon after, Jiu Feng and Long Qingyuan also bowed in gratitude.
Feng Zun had disbanded the ranks of their enemy alliance outside the city gates, turning the whole situation around.
He had truly become a miracle, one that had saved the imperial family from an unavoidable calamity!
Feng Zun shook his head, “That's no more difficult than turning the palm of the hand, you don't need to be so polite."
He was also indebted to Emperor Long. For example, he was granted the vast and largest guest residence that the empire possessed, besides, he had also borrowed the strength of the Nine Furnace Formation to refine the Fantian Celestial Sword.
After all, the ancient faction had come not only to target the imperial family, but they also wanted to take this opportunity to kill him, so it made perfect sense for him to help annihilate them.
"Ha ha ha! Fellow Daoist, to you, it might be as easy as turning the palm of the hand, but to us? Your actions are a great virtue beyond measure!” Emperor Long laughed out loud.
However, he was well aware that Feng Zun did not like pleasantries, so he did not want to linger on this topic.
Shuoxue allowed all the guests to sit down, then she and Tianba brewed tea for the group.
He was a genius nicknamed the famous Little Devil Sword, but now, he seemed to be very busy serving guests.
Feng Zun, meanwhile, was still lying on his woven chair, basking in the warmth of the sunlight.
He was not even interested in moving a single muscle.
However, he felt that it did not seem wrong at all.
But to everyone present, it seemed natural.
As if there was nothing wrong with it.
They had all been familiar with Feng Zun, and they had long since gotten used to his habits and temperament.
Shuoxue also understood it, which was why she was unwilling to take responsibility, to welcome their guests.
“Daoist Associates, I dare say with certainty that after today's defeat, the five ancient factions will not try to carry out any action in the near future.” Emperor Long sat down beside Feng Zun and said in a low voice.
He again said, "Most likely they will choose to endure this moment, and wait until the true start of the Radiant Age."
“Hm.” said Feng Zun, but he doesn't seem to pay much attention, because such things don't interest him.
Instead, Feng Zun looked towards Long Qingyuan, who was seated not far away.
She knew that the woman had been feeling uneasy ever since she entered the courtyard, and she just sat there quietly, “Miss Qingyuan, I already told your mother that if you are unwilling to leave, you will not leave, no one will be able to take you away.”
“Ah...” Long Qingyuan reacted as if awakened from a dream.
He calmed himself down, then said, “Sister Feng, what if I am willing to go with my mother? Maybe... Could it be that you will stop my desire?”
The atmosphere felt heavy.
Emperor Long reacted as if he had been struck by lightning in broad daylight.
Then he got up and stood up, his face full of disbelief, “Sister, are you planning to leave me?”
He was the ruler of the entire territory of the Long Imperial Dynasty, yet now, he actually seemed to lose his composure.
Before he could continue, Emperor Long waved his hand for him to shut up, “Don't discuss that again!”
He sighed, then looked at Long Qingyuan, his expression looking complicated as he said, “Sister, if you really want to leave, of course I won't stop you, but… can you tell me why you chose to go?”
Long Qingyuan's reaction really took her by surprise, she would never have expected that Long Qingyuan would say such a thing to Feng Zun!
Feng Zun meanwhile, only watched Long Qingyuan silently throughout this conversation.
The woman lowered her head, as if afraid to look at the emperor's gaze, “But Jin'er, after all, she is my mother. I always wondered what kind of person he was, and why he left us, and why he never came back again.”.
His fists clenched, and he said with determination, “I just want answers!”
Emperor Long instantly froze, and his expression changed drastically.
It was obvious that this was a blow to him.
“I can give you the answer you want.” Feng Zun suddenly got up from his chair and walked over to Long Qingyuan.
The woman was astonished, and she looked worried, she reflexively got up from her chair and spoke stuttering, “Sau... Brother Feng, what are you going to do?”
"Don't panic, I will help you.” said Feng Zun.
He suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled out a thin silver hairpin from Long Qingyuan's black hair.
It was only about three inches long, and its surface was carved with incomprehensible marks of mysterious runes.
"Quick return!"
Long Qingyuan cried out in fear and suddenly tried to grab him, she clearly looked annoyed and also panicked.
Feng Zun waved his hand lightly, which instantly stopped his movement.
Cracks!
He then exerted strength through his fingers, and smashed the silver hairpin into fragments of metal covered in snow.
Long Qingyuan gave a cold snort, but a moment later, all of her strength seemed to leave her, and her slender and smooth figure fell into Feng Zun's embrace.
Everyone was unwittingly flabbergasted and worried, they had no idea what was going on.
Emperor Long said, “Mean Daoist Feng, that.”.
“This is a soul controlling artifact used to mislead one's mind.” Feng Zun said casually.
She added, “Before, Miss Qingyuan was clearly under the influence of others, which is why she said things that did not match the character she had.”
Feng Zun then handed the unconscious Long Qingyuan to Shuoxue and said, "He's fine, he just needs to take a short nap.”
Emperor Long seemed to realize something, and his face turned pale.
“Yu Xiurong, that bastard woman! She was actually depraved enough to use a secret technique on her own daughter!?”
At the same time, a resolute voice sounded from outside the courtyard.
"I'm his mother, and all I want to do is bring back my daughter, then what's wrong with that?"
