Chapter 916 - 916 310 Benefactor and Matchmaker Two in One_3

Chapter 916: Chapter 310: Benefactor and Matchmaker [Two in One]_3 Chapter 916: Chapter 310: Benefactor and Matchmaker [Two in One]_3 Yue Kong suddenly realized and couldn’t help feeling embarrassed.

Indeed, with Feng Yin’s current level of cultivation, even without trying, his natural speed of physical movement was much faster than Yue Kong and his companion.

If they wanted to travel together, Feng Yin would have to constantly hold back his speed and accompany them at a slower pace.

Otherwise, the two of them definitely couldn’t keep up.

“We can still travel together for a while,”

Feng Yin mused, “Especially since you two have just set your wedding date today, and I as your elder brother haven’t given you a wedding gift yet…”

“We were at death’s door this morning and owe our lives to big brother’s help, and now big brother has helped us set up a marriage. You’ve already given us so much, we really can’t be too greedy and ask for more gifts,” Xia You said respectfully.

Xia You knew that Feng Yin was extremely wealthy, practically a moving mountain of gold. Anything he might give them would be a substantial gift. But it was exactly for this reason that she didn’t want to accept any more gifts from Feng Yin.

Owing someone even a small favor can be uncomfortable if it isn’t repaid, as the saying goes, ‘gratitude for a grain can become grudges over a peck.’ While they indeed saw Feng Yin as their elder brother, they hoped to stand side by side with Feng Yin as friends, certainly not wanting to profit from him constantly and sour the sweetness of their relationship, eventually turning it toxic.

“Ah, listen to me, just take it. This is your wedding gift, you must accept it… This is a happy occasion, let’s not fuss over it!”

“…”

After drinking two pounds of alcohol, Yue Kong gradually became talkative: “Big brother hasn’t seen Wen Shumo since the Gold Rank training, right?”

“No, why?”

“It seems you really haven’t seen him. You’d never guess that this guy actually turned out to be a prince of Great Yan… I heard that after this round of training, he’s undergone a drastic change, becoming unusually brutal. It seems he has killed many people, all by his own hand…”

Feng Yin was taken aback: “I really didn’t know that. But wait, those he killed were Heavenly Judgment’s targets, right? If he didn’t do it himself, how could he complete the assignments!”

Yue Kong said indignantly, “What he calls doing it himself is deploying the imperial guards, capturing the targets, and merely executing them himself by beheading. But still, that counts as completing the tasks for Heavenly Judge… Utterly shameless!”

“Wow, there’s such a maneuver?”

This time Feng Yin was genuinely surprised, “Isn’t it said that if anyone assists, it wouldn’t count as completing the tasks alone? What’s up with his situation?”

“His maneuver was quite slick, avoiding the restrictions of Heavenly Judgment!”

Yue Kong said with a sneer, “But it’s truly shameless. His promotion was incredibly fast. Many who don’t know think he’s genuinely taking on those tasks head-on, never imagining that he’s leveraging outside force, almost like the power of an entire nation…”

Xia You chimed in from the side, “That’s his skill. If you want to level up like that, why not just have your dad become emperor? Wouldn’t that solve everything?”

Yue Kong rolled his eyes, “If my dad became emperor, would I still need to do this?”

“Then don’t complain and harbor resentment,”

Xia You retorted, “He’s just more fortunate, and that’s power, that’s confidence! He just started ahead in the race!”

Yue Kong was left speechless and could only sullenly drink down a bowl of wine: “Wen Shumo is now Jade Rank… even ranked higher than me, it’s just ridiculous.”

“Hahaha…”

Feng Yin, trying to smooth things over, said, “Xia You is right, that’s his strength, no denying it! People have to accept their fate!”

Under Feng Yin’s enthusiastic encouragement, the newlyweds, with their mixed feelings, welcomed any and all comers, draining cup after cup until they were quickly drunk.

With their kind elder brother beside them, there was nothing to fear or worry about. Getting drunk seemed perfectly fine, a good way to relieve the pressure.

Though the two were engaged, they honestly felt lost about the path ahead, with no clear goal for their future.

Especially now that they had made an enemy of Crescent Moon, an established sect, the future seemed vague and unpromising…

But how could they bring themselves to speak of such matters to Feng Yin? So, they let the alcohol stir their worries instead.

What was the right path for their future, and what were their goals for the rest of their lives?

Once they relaxed from their constant tensions, it was natural to fall asleep.

The drinking went on into the night — just one moment they were talking, and the next, the inebriated couple had both fallen asleep.

Even without Feng Yin using his mental power to affect them, reaching this point was already their limit.

And with the couple fast asleep, that was exactly the condition Feng Yin needed to help them without overstepping boundaries.

“It’s rare for old friends to reunite,”

Feng Yin murmured, “Let me lend a helping hand to you and your spouse. I believe this wedding gift will be precious and meaningful for you… Not letting you call me ‘big brother’ in vain.”

While smiling faintly, his fingertips glowed, already touching upon the foreheads of the two.

…

Meanwhile, Crescent Moon and company, who had left, were utterly confused.

They initially just intended to roughly locate Yue Kong and Xia You using Heavenly Judgment, but they unexpectedly discovered that all their slain comrades had been credited as accomplishments under the assassin ‘Gentle’.

Could it be that woman was the mysterious ‘Gentle’?

But according to the rumors, wasn’t Gentle a man?

The almost official confirmation of the assassin Gentle’s identity was wrong?!

After consulting their sect, the higher-ups weighed their options.

They decided… it was better not to make a big deal out of this!

Crescent Moon was at a critical time of re-establishing their ranks, and it was senseless to unnecessarily provoke such a formidable enemy!

As for Xiaoyun… being targeted by such a being, it was probably very difficult to reclaim him, so they thought… better to avoid unnecessary troubles…
