Chapter 367: Chapter 367 Zhu Fei’s Request

"No!"

Hearing Zhu Tianfan’s inquiry, Zhu Fei almost didn’t even consider before directly denying it.

"Alas..."

Seeing Zhu Fei so resolutely negate it, Zhu Tianfan couldn’t help but let out a long sigh.

With his perspective as an Elder of the secluded Zhu family, at this point, how could he not know that the Zhu Fei before him was indeed a junior of their secular Zhu family?

If it had been any ordinary member of the Zhu family, with his status, Zhu Tianfan probably wouldn’t have much of an impression.

But Zhu Fei was different; as the illegitimate son of the secular Zhu family’s Family Head, he, Zhu Tianfan, had heard a thing or two about him, and he was aware that Zhu Fei and his mother had once been driven out of the secular Zhu family.

Although Zhu Tianfan was unclear as to why the present Zhu Fei possessed such terrifying cultivation and strength,

he did know that with Zhu Fei’s current achievements, it was likely that in their entire secluded Zhu family, no one could rival him except for their ancient ancestor.

Reflecting on Zhu Fei’s frightening prowess just now, waves of rage suddenly rose inexplicably in Zhu Tianfan’s heart.

This fury was not directed at Zhu Fei, but instead at the entire secular Zhu family.

To think that a junior of the Zhu family with such potential and formidable cultivation was simply cast out—wasn’t that the height of idiocy?

"Zhu Fei, you wouldn’t mind if I call you that, would you?"

Zhu Tianfan adjusted his emotions and still spoke to Zhu Fei with a smile.

He was very clear that, given Zhu Fei’s current situation, if he wanted to invite him back to the Zhu family, even if he didn’t ask, he could guess that Zhu Fei would surely not agree.

The pressing matter for him was to try to build a good relationship with Zhu Fei, so as not to let him harbor any more animosity towards the entire Zhu family.

"It doesn’t matter, but I see the relationship between your secluded Zhu family and that secular Zhu family seems rather complicated,"

said Zhu Fei, his response as straightforward as before, showing no signs of courtesy.

How could he fail to guess some of Zhu Tianfan’s thoughts right now?

Inviting him back to the Zhu family was an absolute impossibility. He would definitely not agree.

Considering the past grievances with the secular Zhu family, it was already magnanimous of him, Zhu Fei, not to seek trouble with them, merely out of consideration for their blood relations.

However, now that he had encountered someone from the Zhu family, he wasn’t going to let things slide.

He had made a promise to his predecessor to reclaim their mother’s identity and status within the Zhu family.

Therefore, in the next moment, without waiting for Zhu Tianfan to speak, Zhu Fei continued:

"Zhu Tianfan, let’s not beat around the bush. I want to ask you one question, can you currently wield influence in the secular Zhu family?"

"Zhu Fei, what do you mean by that...?"

Zhu Tianfan showed a hint of confusion in his eyes, unsure what Zhu Fei intended by asking this question.

If Zhu Fei wanted to return to the Zhu family, Zhu Tianfan was not so naive as to think that Zhu Fei had such an intention.

Not to mention anything else, just from the way Zhu Fei addressed him now, Zhu Tianfan could tell that such an eventuality was utterly impossible—at least not for now.

"My meaning is simple," "Just say, if you can wield any influence within the secular Zhu family, then please trouble yourself to speak to them for me, asking Zhu Tianming personally to go to Lan City, to move my mother’s spiritual altar into the Zhu family ancestral hall."

"Of course, if you can’t wield that influence, then that’s also fine. Once I’ve dealt with my affairs here, I will personally make a trip to the Zhu family."

The implied meaning was that this request of Zhu Fei’s, regardless of whether Zhu Tianfan could accomplish it or not, would have the same outcome, the only difference being whether Zhu Fei himself would take care of it or Zhu Tianfan would.

Faced with Zhu Fei’s request, Zhu Tianfan remained calm.

Even when Zhu Fei directly called his father by name, Zhu Tianfan didn’t harbor any other thoughts besides a slight sigh.

Because he understood that given the harm the Zhu family had once caused to him and his mother, it was already quite restrained of Zhu Fei not to create a major disturbance at the Zhu family’s residence.

Thereupon, Zhu Tianfan nodded at Zhu Fei and said very straightforwardly, "No problem, I will attend to your request as soon as I return to the clan."

Having said this, just as Zhu Tianfan was about to say more, Zhu Fei had already cut him off with a wave of his hand, "Good, let it be so for now. I will visit the Zhu family later on. I have some other matters to attend to and won’t keep you any longer, I bid you farewell."

With these words, Zhu Fei didn’t wait for Zhu Tianfan to react and with a swift movement, he immediately headed towards Zhai Yun and the others.

Upon reaching Zhai Yun and the rest, Zhu Fei wasted no further words. After reminding them of their prior agreement and inquiring about the current location of the Treasure Pavilion headquarters, he soared directly into the sky.

In just a few breaths’ time, Zhu Fei’s figure had completely vanished from the sight of everyone present.

Watching Zhu Fei’s silhouette disappearing into the horizon, Zhu Tianfan’s eyes suddenly became incredibly complex.

It was not until the figures of Zhai Yun and the others gradually began to approach that Zhu Tianfan came back to his senses from his deep contemplation.

Without any hesitation, he promptly instructed the Zhu family disciples beside him to immediately contact the secular branch of the Zhu family. Then, he himself went forward to greet Zhai Yun and his company.

...

Ten Thousand Treasure Peak was surrounded by a ring of mountains, with dense and perilous forests throughout, shrouded in mist that made it impossible for ordinary people to venture deep into its depths.

Yet in such a place, in the farthest depths of Ten Thousand Treasure Peak, there was a vast plateau.

Amidst this vast plateau, someone had constructed many archaic buildings.

The ground was made from the whitest marble, and the buildings were incredibly refined and elegant, filled with serene and natural rustic charm.

Coupled with the omnipresent Spiritual Energy, which constantly exuded a faint glow of Spiritual Charm, the sight truly gave the impression of an Immortal Realm hidden from the world.

This place was none other than the famed Treasure Pavilion’s Little Cave Heaven within the entire Ancient Martial World!

However, the once beautiful and natural Little Cave Heaven was now no longer visible.

In its place was thick black smoke and splashes of bright red left behind on the white marble floor.

Several figures dressed in the garb of disciples staggered yet resolutely rushed towards the buildings still emitting black smoke, carrying buckets of water.

Their faces were filled with grief and sorrowful glances, revealing that a tragic event had recently unfolded here.

"Crash—"

As the water from the buckets was poured out, extinguishing some of the smoke, a female disciple had just taken a relieved breath, when suddenly, a massive piece of roof eave rapidly crashed down towards her head!
