Chapter 1581: Father and Master
Sima Liu Xuan knew his daughter was laughing at him but he wasn’t embarrassed as Feng Zhi Xing was too arrogant the last time they’d met.
At the same time, he admired his daughter so much. He would be jealous if he knew You Yue cured him.
He used his old ways and went to a shady shop. The shopkeeper had been there for over a hundred years and he’d already known Sima Liu Xuan.
“Master Liu Xuan, what brings you here?” Shopkeeper welcomed him.
“Pass a message to Feng Zhi Xing – Phoenix Mountain in 3 days.” Sima Liu Xuan said softly.
“Young Master hasn’t been in recently. I’m not sure if I can pass it to him in 3 days.” The shopkeeper was in a difficult position, but he remembered that the Young Master had told them to inform him of anything from the Sima Clan even if it was using the highest way of passing messages. Whether Young Master would come wasn’t up to his control.
“Just let him know.”
Sima Liu Xuan turned around and left after he spoke, the shopkeeper told the waiter something and went to the backyard.
There were still three days before the appointed time and Sima Liu Xuan wasn’t in a hurry. Instead, he was shopping around in the city. He came here and looked around countless times, he was not as emotional as he was today today.
After walking around, he then walked towards the Phoenix Mountain leisurely.
Phoenix Mountain wasn’t a place where a Phoenix resided. It had nothing related to Phoenixes, not even the way it looked. No one knew who named that mountain.
Sima Liu Xuan walked to the bottom of a tree. Thinking that Feng Zhi Xing would not come here that quickly, he leaped on the tree and found a familiar branch and laid on it like how he did in the past.
Smooth and silky silver hair. It looked like a white waterfall hanging in the mid air, but it was hard to notice if it wasn’t seen from the bottom, as the crown of the tree was dense.
Feng Zhi Xing saw this familiar scene the moment he came here, except for silver hair that replaced what used to be crow black.
Sima Liu Xuan opened his eyes right when he came here but he didn’t move. In less than a second, Feng Zhi Xing flew to the branch that he used to like. With his back leaning against a trunk, one of his legs dangled with the other one folded casually.
Mm, at least Sima You Yue and Integral Moon Palace had never seen him like that.
“From the day I saw you, I never thought that you would be a useless man forever. But I didn’t expect you’ll get well this fast either. You’ve got a good daughter.”
“Of course. Sima You Yue is very thoughtful. You can’t even imagine.” Sima Liu Xuan placed his hands behind his head, laughing as if he needed a spanking.
Feng Zhi Xing made a hand gesture at him, “Tell me, why did you ask me to come here? Don’t tell me you asked me here just to show off your filial Daughter? I’m busy.”
“Nothing, just wanted to catch up.” Sima Liu Xuan said.
“Pfft, why would I believe you? I’ll leave since you don’t want to tell me, Our catch up is almost done anyway.” Feng Zhi Xing didn’t move although he said that.
Sima Liu Xuan sat up, took out two jars of wine and threw one to him. He opened his and took a sip. As he saw Feng Zhi Zing drink it, he said, “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll poison it?”
“I don’t think you’re capable of poisoning me.” Feng Zhi Xing said in disdain.
“Why don’t you try.” Sima Liu Xuan didn’t refute.
Feng Zhi Xing didn’t care about him. He took another sip from the wine jar and said, “It’s good to keep watching your daughter, you can drink wine when you want to. It’s a pity that the wine will be gone once it’s finished, even though I’m her Master.”
“It’s good enough that I can give it to you.”
“Eh, I really didn’t think that we would have a chance to sit here and have a drink. And the wine we are drinking was made by your daughter.” Feng Zhi Xing said emotionally.
“Indeed.” Sima Liu Xuan was reminiscing.
“Are you fully recovered?” Feng Zhi Xing asked.
“Mm, except for this gray hair.”
“She won’t abandon you.”
Both of them fell silent when they mentioned Yu Ke Luo. After a while, Feng Zhi Xing placed his hand on his gray hair, looking despondent.
“Integral Moon Palace members are very good at getting information. Do you know how to go to Ghost Realm other than by Ghost City?”
Feng Zhi Xing almost choked on his wine. He looked at Sima Liu Xuan and cried out, “You still want to go to the Ghost Realm?”
“Ke Luo is there, I have to find her.” Sima Liu Xuan was firm on his decision. He wanted to go to the Ghost Realm no matter what, “You Yue has been wanting to go to Ghost Realm to save her Mother, I’m afraid she will do something silly.”
“Aren’t you doing something silly too? What can you do in Ghost Realm given your power?” Although Feng Zhi Xing really liked Yu Ke Luo and really wanted to see her, he kept a clear view on reality.
Sima Liu Xuan forced a bitter smile.
It was right that Yu Ke Kuo was caught by the Ghost King. She would definitely be punished when she went back to her clan and he would have to face the whole Ghost clan if he went. Could he really find her by himself?
But if he couldn’t find her, it would be empty here. He held his chest with his right hand and felt the ache.
Feng Zhi Xing sighed and said as he saw him this way, “I can help you to investigate, but you’ll need to promise me one thing.”
“What is it?”
“Bring me along if you’re going.” Feng Zhi Xing requested, “It doesn’t matter if you’re going alone, bring me and You Yue.”
“You want to come too?” Sima Liu Xuan glanced at him.
“I wanted to go back to the inner regions, but that kid You Yue could hold up even the skies. She could hold up a whole sky and lead a trouble-free life in the inner regions. But I didn’t expect that it would be this fast and that there would be nothing that I could do for her anymore. Also, I know her temperament. She won’t change once she sets her mind on it. I’d rather go and take the risk with you guys instead of being worried here. Anyway I’m almost done having enlightenment in my life. There’s nothing to be reluctant about.” Feng Zhi Xing explained.
“It’s better that you….” Sima Liu Xuan was emotional. He didn’t finish his sentence but both of them knew what it meant.
“I was talking about that child You Yue, you’re over thinking.” Feng Zhi Xing’s body was stiff and he took another sip of wine. But why did that crisp fragrance turn into bitterness?
Sima Liu Xuan looked at him but he didn’t reply or deny it.
Feng Zhi Xing had feelings for Yu Ke Luo and he knew that, but he couldn’t stop him. He was glad that the one that Ke Luo liked was him.
There was silence lingering around both of them. He thought about the other thing he was here for to break the awkwardness.
“Do you have the map of the Lost Place?”
“Yes I do have it, why? Do you want it?”
“Mm. I need it now.”
“You’re going to the Lost place?” Feng Zhi Xing shot a glance at him, “Are you already restless when you’d just recovered?”
“It’s You Yue who wants to go.”
“That obedient disciple of mine almost flipped the Hidden Families earlier on, what is she up to now?”
