Chapter 909: Chapter 565: Xifeng Mountain_3

Hearing Xu Yuan’s words, Ran Qingmo silently closed her eyes and resumed her scroll king cultivation.

Bai Muxi then whispered a suggestion:

"Master, seeing as we’re heading to the Xifeng Mountain Range this time, shall we test the virtue of those two geniuses?"

"....."

A slight twitch appeared at the corner of Xu Yuan’s eyes.

Why test their virtue?

Naturally, to ascertain whether they are reliable.

For the gifted, one must delve deep; those who can be of use are kept, and those who can’t must be decisively abandoned.

He was starting to find that this green tea yogurt was indeed giving off more of a villainous vibe.

However, upon reflection, Bai Muxi’s suggestion did seem to hold some rationale.

After all, the Feng Family was now all but a name, and nobody knew what kind of political propaganda was being carried out in secret by collateral branches, nor if they harbored any grudges against the Prime Minister’s Mansion...

Moreover, timing it right, the collapse of the Prime Minister’s Mansion in "Cangyuan" seemed to coincide with the possible emergence of those two geniuses.

It is always good to be cautious.

Thinking this, Xu Yuan gave it a little thought and then nodded:

"There’s no need to make intentional contact. Leave the professional matters to the professional Black Scale Guards. However, if we happen to encounter them, there’s no harm in probing a little."

...

...

...

After two days of travel by carriage, the wilderness scenery gradually faded away, replaced by a majestic mountain range stretching over a thousand miles.

The Feng Family Ancestral Land, Xifeng Mountain, had arrived.

This visit was not an official one; thus, before entering the mountains, the three concealed their carriage within a forest, activated a simple Formation for camouflage to prevent Demonic Beasts from devouring the horses.

Everything prepared, the three of them were then able to conceal their presence and infiltrate the vast mountain forest ahead.

The Feng Family Ancestral shrine had two locations.

One stood within the central gathering place of the Feng Family, built over three hundred years ago, while the other was hidden within the Xifeng Mountain Range, its location known only to each generation’s Family Head.

Of course, there was no need for Big Ice Lump, the treasure hunter, to take action this time, since Xu Yuan carried a map obtained from home—after all, he was the legitimate son of the Feng Family.

The Xifeng Mountain Range was a treasure land.

Year-round, it was shrouded in red mists and imbued with immortal Qi. When the sun set, the afterglow spilled between the trees and onto the red mist, creating the illusion of a phoenix sinking amid the waves—a spectacular and grand sight.

At nightfall, the entire Xifeng Mountain Range was enveloped in a thick fog that hindered Spiritual Perception, and the towering main peak was concealed within, like a giant phoenix crouching on the ground.

After three days of following the slightly crude map, finally, Xu Yuan and his companions approached the site of the Feng Family Ancestral Shrine.

The campfire lit up, illuminating the surrounding white fog, the towering dense trees appeared faint and indistinct, and Bai Muxi sat around the campfire facing Xu Yuan, who was adeptly handling his bottles of seasoning, while the main dish was a mountain delicacy encountered during the day.

Smeared with sauce, skewered on iron sticks, set above the campfire, the fat from the roasted meat sizzled and dripped.

While continuously rotating the skewers in hand, Xu Yuan asked Xiao Bai in a soft voice:

"Ran Qingmo should be coming back soon, shouldn’t she?"

Bai Muxi was seated cross-legged nearby, scanning around lightly, and replied:

"The dense fog is hindering Spiritual Perception; I have not sensed Mr. Ran."

Xu Yuan heard this and smiled softly:

"It seems we’ll have a great harvest today."

Although there was no need for Big Ice Lump to search for the ancestral shrine, there clearly were other valuable items left by the Feng Family ancestors hidden in the Feng Family Ancestral Land. Therefore, Xu Yuan let the treasure-seeking genie out to try her luck.

If she found anything, it would be considered returning belongings to their rightful owner.

As he thought this, Bai Muxi suddenly raised her eyes and looked in the direction of the deep forest, speaking out:

"Master, it seems someone is coming."
