The village gates slowly opened, and Ji Feng and his group entered Whispering Cloud Village.
Recently, the Mogu had invaded, so many martial artists were patrolling the village. Most of the Pandaren here had strong physiques and were indeed promising talents. As they entered the village, Ji Feng observed them carefully.
Walking through Whispering Cloud Village, the Pandaren martial artists they encountered would often stop to greet Long Suxin. Upon entering the village, Ji Feng learned of Long Suxin's identity, and to his surprise, he was the son of the village's Sage.
A Sage was a martial artist who inherited the power of the Celestials. Sages ruled the villages, and the Sage of Whispering Cloud Village was Long's grandfather, Yan Suxin.
In this era, every village had a Sage. If this were the 21st century, the position of Sage might be equivalent to a village chief and principal combined.
Sages not only ruled the village but were also responsible for education. Therefore, the villagers of Whispering Cloud Village greatly admired their Sage, and even the Sage's descendants received the villagers' respect.
"Master Ji, thanks to your help earlier, we were able to escape from the Mogu soldiers. Master Ji, if you don't mind, please let me host you tonight!" Compared to Sindragosa Village, Whispering Cloud Village was much smaller. After entering the village and not walking for long, Long Suxin stood in the center of the village and said politely.
At this moment, Long Suxin and Ji Feng's group stopped in front of a three-story stilted building, where a flag hung with the words "Sage Tower" written on it.
This was the home of Whispering Cloud Village's Sage, Yan Suxin.
"Brother Feng, the Sage of Whispering Cloud Village is so poor! To live in such a dilapidated stilted building. In my opinion, the Sage should live in the best house in the village!"
"In the game, the houses in the middle of Halfhill in the Valley of the Four Winds are similar to this. It's not exactly dilapidated, but this house is indeed a bit shabby..."
"Someone called a Sage must be a good person. Look at that good person, so poor they're practically jingling..."
Whispering Cloud Village was located on the border of the Land of Zuldazar. It was not a prosperous place to begin with, and this residence of Yan Suxin was the oldest and most dilapidated house in the village. It was no wonder the viewers couldn't believe this was the Sage's residence.
"Long, is this really your home? Is this really the Sage's residence? You're not joking, are you!"
"This is my home. How could I dare to deceive Master Ji? Please..."
Long Suxin didn't notice that Ji Feng thought the house was dilapidated. He thought Ji Feng didn't believe his identity and stepped forward, quickly pulling open the door.
"Yao Shi, do the Sages of Shadowwind Village also live in houses like this? Are the Sages in our village also such simple and frugal people?"
"Master Ji, it seems Whispering Cloud Village only has one Sage, this Yan Suxin. Our village has three Sages, and all three Sages live in houses built with bricks and bluestone, not these stilted buildings..."
Shadowwind Village was much larger than Whispering Cloud Village, even larger than Sindragosa Village. However, the virtue of Shadowwind Village's Sage could not compare to the Sage here.
"So that's how it is. Alright, let's not dwell on these bothersome matters for now. We'll rest here for the night and continue our journey tomorrow." Ji Feng waved his hand, pointing to the ancient stilted building, and as soon as he finished speaking, he stepped forward and walked in with Long Suxin.
Ancient Pandaren calligraphy, chili peppers, and garlic hung on the walls. Large straw mats were spread on the floor, and piles of crudely made books were placed around. The first-floor hall was currently empty.
"Grandfather, I'm back. I've also brought back a group of friends, a group of Pandaren from the north." Long Suxin called out from the first-floor hall.
"Cough cough... Long, you're back? It's good that you're back, cough cough... You've brought back some friends too. It seems you've gained a lot from this trip..." At this moment, an elderly Pandaren with a hunched back walked down from the second-floor staircase. He was Yan Suxin, the Sage of Whispering Cloud Village.
"Master Ji, this is my grandfather, Yan Suxin, the Sage of Whispering Cloud Village..."
Upon seeing Sage Yan, Long Suxin's face lit up with a smile. He stepped forward to support the old man and introduced them to each other.
"Ji Shadowwind, martial artist of the Shadowwind Clan, pays his respects to the Sage..." To be in a high position yet reside in a humble dwelling, such a person could truly be called a Sage. How could Ji Feng not show respect?
"Ji Shadowwind, hmm, a good name. Please come in! I can feel the goodwill emanating from you. Please..."
As Sage Yan spoke, he gestured towards the second floor. At this moment, Ji Feng also noticed something: Sage Yan seemed to be unable to see. This Sage was actually blind.
"Master Ji, although grandfather cannot see, he can sense our presence. Grandfather is very hospitable, please..." Supporting Yan Suxin, Long Suxin nodded and gestured.
"Thank you for your hospitality, Sage. We are honored."
With his hands clasped together, Ji Feng bowed and led everyone upstairs.
"Hmph, so this is the person who saved Long Suxin. I never thought he was a slave..."
As he ascended the stairs, Ji Feng's eyes fell upon a round table already laden with dishes. Before they could start eating, he was surprised to see several other people on the second floor.
"Brother Feng, something feels off about this setup. It feels like a banquet of betrayal. I think we can make a run for it..."
"Don't make a fuss. Perhaps these are the descendants of Sage Yan. However, that guy's attitude does seem unpleasant..."
"The person speaking is dressed incredibly luxuriously, clearly a person of great importance. You young people clearly lack experience. I guess this person's status might be much higher than Sage Yan's."
At this moment, the viewers offered their opinions.
"Young friend, please sit... These are the Sages from other villages in the Land of Zuldazar. This is the Sage of Feili Village, this is the Sage of Xuehua Village, this is the Sage of Jingji Village, and this is the Sage of Qianmo Village..." As Sage Yan spoke, he gestured for Ji Feng to sit. He did not pursue the rudeness of the person who had just spoken.
"Long, I didn't expect a slave to save you. It seems Whispering Cloud Village has truly declined. Sage Yan, you should seriously consider what I mentioned to you last time. You know, my Feili Village is much stronger than Whispering Cloud Village..." At this moment, the Pandaren who had been impolite to Ji Feng spoke again. As expected, his status was higher than Sage Yan Suxin's.
Recently, with the Mogu invasion, Whispering Cloud Village was trying to form alliances with other villages. The Sages of these villages were here in Whispering Cloud Village to discuss the alliance.
"Haha... Sage Feili, we can discuss that matter later. Let's eat first!" Sage Yan seemed unwilling to say more, but he simply waved his hand and gestured to the dishes on the table.
"This... Fine, I'll give you face today." This so-called Sage of Feili Village was truly arrogant, speaking as if no one else mattered.
With a hint of displeasure, Ji Feng sat down next to Long Suxin, while his disciples and the Elves were seated at another table. Once everyone was seated, they began to eat and drink.
"Grandfather, on the way back, Master Ji saved me and the villagers. He is not only a martial artist but also a Pandaren who has received the Ancestral Legacy. Grandfather, I want to become his disciple." Long Suxin suddenly said while eating and drinking.
At this moment, Ji Feng was eating a piece of sweet potato and almost choked when he heard this.
"Ancestral Legacy? Haha, ridiculous... This is the first time I've heard of the Ancestral Legacy. I wonder what this Ancestral Legacy is? Slave, can you explain it to me..." Sage Feili looked at Ji Feng and said with a cold smile.
"Brother Feng, your Ancestral Legacy might fool children, but it won't be easy to fool this old guy. Ancestral Legacy... This old bastard is probably going to expose you today..."
"We've eaten quite a bit. Is the main event finally about to start? Brother Feng, I'll see how you show off today. Faced with such an experienced show-off, ordinary show-off tactics probably won't work."
"Long Suxin keeps staring at Brother Feng. I thought he was going to hit on him. Turns out he wants to become your disciple. This kid has a clean background and profound martial arts skills. He's a promising talent, Brother Feng, don't miss out on him."
"Brother Feng, it's always fighting, fighting. Let's do something grand and impressive today! Something grand and impressive to show off, right..."
"I just got off work! What's Brother Feng streaming today? I don't understand what's happening?"
Night had just fallen. If converted to Earth time, it was around 7 PM. At this hour, the viewers, busy all day, had finished their meals, and the livestream chat was at its most active.
At this moment, as the viewers started to speak, Ji Feng suddenly had an idea. Tonight, he wanted to stream something different. Tonight, he wanted to go for a "serious drama" style.
"Viewers, the first stream was a martial arts fight against Shanbu, the second I streamed was reclaiming the clan, and the third time we were bragging in front of Illidan and Falondar. For this fourth stream, you will see a brand new streamer. Tonight, I'm preparing a positive energy storm."
Ji Feng posted a comment in the livestream chat.
"There is true affection in the world, there is true love in the world, is it that kind of style..."
"No thanks, no thanks, I'm not drinking this bowl of chicken soup."
"Brother Feng, go ahead! Are you planning to play an inspirational gratitude theme tonight?"
"I still remember in high school, someone came to my school to give a speech. My classmate cried profusely and knelt before all the teachers and students, kowtowing to the principal and vowing never to play games at internet cafes again. Brother Feng, can you achieve this kind of livestream effect tonight? Could it be... you're planning to feed a Sage a bowl of chicken soup for the soul?"
"I've experienced the same thing as the person upstairs. As a result, after kneeling and crying in the afternoon, I climbed over the wall that very night. This kind of chicken soup is poisonous, can't drink it..."
Positive energy was being completely messed with by the viewers.
"My viewer brothers and sisters, I also know that the Ancestral Legacy probably can't fool these old guys. I won't be feeding any chicken soup... Just watch how I'll show off tonight..."
The viewers' understanding of positive energy was still too naive. Ji Feng was naturally going for something grand and impressive. At this moment, the serious drama began.
