238: consultation
If he could successfully subdue Liu Tianfeng, then Qingyun Sect's strength would once again improve. However, if not handled well, it could also attract unnecessary trouble.
Therefore, Lin Feng decided that after he finished handling his current affairs, he would personally go to Yunlan City to talk with Liu Tianfeng face-to-face, understand his true thoughts and intentions, and then make a decision.
Thinking of this, Lin Feng stopped pondering and began to deal with other matters.
After finishing the Sect's affairs, Lin Feng prepared to set off for Yunlan City. He knew that this trip not only concerned the future of Qingyun Sect but also his personal reputation and prestige.
Before departing, Lin Feng specifically gathered Sect Master Yun Yi and several Elders to explain some Sect affairs and urged them to act cautiously and not be careless.
Upon hearing this, Yun Yi and the Elders all looked solemn and said in unison, "Grand Elder, please rest assured, we will act carefully and live up to your expectations."
Lin Feng nodded in satisfaction, gave some more detailed instructions, then turned and left, embarking on his journey to Yunlan City.
Along the way, Lin Feng's mind was filled with countless thoughts. He recalled the bits and pieces of his time in Silver Sparrow City, filled with emotion. Now, he had become the Grand Elder of Qingyun Sect, his strength greatly increased, and his status prominent.
And Liu Tianfeng, the former City Lord of Silver Sparrow City, whom he had once served under, now wanted to pledge allegiance to him. How unpredictable life was!
However, Lin Feng also knew that the Cultivation World was inherently a world where the strong preyed on the weak, and strength determined everything. Now that he was powerful, he could naturally attract more people to pledge allegiance.
But he also had to act cautiously and not easily trust others, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble.
After several days of flying, Lin Feng finally arrived at Yunlan City. He inquired about Liu Tianfeng's whereabouts and quickly found his Cultivation place in Yunlan City.
Lin Feng stood outside the Cultivation place, observing quietly. He saw that the Spiritual Qi here was rich and the environment serene, truly a good place for Cultivation. He secretly nodded, feeling a hint of approval for Liu Tianfeng's choice.
Just then, the gate of the Cultivation place suddenly opened, and Liu Tianfeng walked out from inside. He saw Lin Feng, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
Lin Feng smiled as he looked at Liu Tianfeng and said, "City Lord Liu, long time no see. I didn't expect you to be Cultivating in Yunlan City now; it's quite a surprise."
Liu Tianfeng also smiled upon hearing this and said, "Grand Elder Lin, you've come too. What a pleasure to meet you. I suffered a complete defeat in Silver Sparrow City back then. Now I hear you've rebuilt Silver Sparrow City and founded Qingyun Sect; it's truly admirable."
Lin Feng smiled faintly upon hearing this and said, "City Lord Liu, you're too kind. Let bygones be bygones. Now we both have our own developments, so there's no need to mention the past. I've come this time to discuss your intention to pledge allegiance to Qingyun Sect."
Liu Tianfeng's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, but he quickly returned to normal. He said, "Grand Elder Lin, I do indeed intend to pledge allegiance to Qingyun Sect. However, I also have some concerns and conditions; I wonder if you can accept them."
Lin Feng was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then said, "City Lord Liu, feel free to speak. As long as your conditions are not excessive, I can consider them."
Liu Tianfeng nodded and slowly said, "Grand Elder Lin, although I, Liu Tianfeng, am down and out now, I am still a person of flesh and blood. My intention to pledge allegiance to Qingyun Sect is naturally to seek refuge. The reason I want to pledge allegiance to Qingyun Sect is also because I recently offended a Nascent Soul Cultivator in Yunlan City. This matter is quite troublesome, and without a powerful Sect as a backing, it would be difficult for me to establish myself in Yunlan City. Therefore, I hope Qingyun Sect can provide me with protection, allowing me to Cultivate with peace of mind."
Lin Feng's heart tightened slightly upon hearing this. He hadn't expected that Liu Tianfeng had actually offended a Nascent Soul Cultivator in Yunlan City. This was indeed a bit troublesome.
However, Lin Feng also knew that grudges and entanglements in the Cultivation World were inherently complex, and offending people was inevitable.
He looked at Liu Tianfeng and slowly said, "City Lord Liu, offending a Nascent Soul Cultivator in Yunlan City is indeed a troublesome matter. However, our Qingyun Sect is not a soft persimmon to be bullied by anyone. As long as you sincerely pledge allegiance, we will naturally provide you with protection. However, you must also abide by the rules of our Qingyun Sect and not do anything that harms the Sect's interests."
Liu Tianfeng's expression was solemn upon hearing this, and he said, "Grand Elder Lin, please rest assured. Although I, Liu Tianfeng, am down and out, I am also a man of principles. My intention to pledge allegiance to Qingyun Sect is naturally to seek a better opportunity for development, not to cause trouble for the Sect. I will definitely abide by the rules of Qingyun Sect and do my best for the Sect."
Lin Feng nodded slightly upon hearing this, and his impression of Liu Tianfeng improved by a few points. He said, "Since City Lord Liu says so, I will say no more. Our Qingyun Sect welcomes your joining. However, regarding the Nascent Soul Cultivator you offended, we still need to consider a long-term plan to see how to deal with it."
Liu Tianfeng's expression relaxed slightly upon hearing this. He said, "Grand Elder Lin, please rest assured, I already have a countermeasure. As long as Qingyun Sect can provide me with protection, I am confident that I can resolve this grievance."
Lin Feng pondered inwardly upon hearing this. He felt that although Liu Tianfeng was somewhat down and out, he had a resilient character and considerable resourcefulness. If he could subdue this person, it would also be a good thing for Qingyun Sect.
Thinking of this, he said, "Since City Lord Liu already has a countermeasure, then I am relieved. However, this matter still requires cautious handling and must not be taken lightly. Although our Qingyun Sect is not afraid of Yunlan City's Nascent Soul Cultivator, there is no need to needlessly make enemies. After you pledge allegiance to Qingyun Sect, you must act discreetly and not be ostentatious, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble."
Liu Tianfeng's expression was solemn upon hearing this, and he said, "Grand Elder Lin, I understand what you mean. After I pledge allegiance to Qingyun Sect, I will definitely abide by the Sect's rules, do my best for the Sect, and not cause trouble for the Sect."
Lin Feng nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this and said, "That's very good. May I ask City Lord what exactly caused you to offend the Nascent Soul Cultivator, and who is this person?"
Liu Tianfeng sighed upon hearing this and slowly said, "It's a long story. The Nascent Soul Cultivator I offended is a famous Loose Cultivator in Yunlan City, named Pavilion Lord Feng Wuhen. He has a strange personality and acts ruthlessly, and he is quite renowned in Yunlan City. The reason I offended him was due to an accident."
Lin Feng's heart tightened slightly upon hearing this. He hadn't expected that Liu Tianfeng had offended the famous Loose Cultivator Pavilion Lord Feng Wuhen in Yunlan City. He had also heard of this person and knew he was indeed a tricky individual.
