Pledge of Allegiance

"Does this have anything to do with you? You'd better put more effort into your cultivation instead, lest I easily crush you next month."

Feng Qing'er let out a cold snort and directly and haughtily turned her head away, quite obviously unwilling to talk about such a topic.

"Mount code, article three: if the master's questions do not involve core secrets, the other party must answer truthfully."

Qin Yun said faintly. Are you kidding? She wanted to act cool in front of him? He had over a dozen ways to easily handle her.

"You..." Feng Qing'er's face turned white and then green. She couldn't help but recall signing an unspeakable mount code when she lost a duel for the second time.

Although the contents inside were not too excessive, it was still extremely difficult for her to accept, considering she viewed herself as a top-tier genius.

In the end, Feng Qing'er still chose to answer truthfully, "She is my aunt, currently the second strongest person in the clan, with the cultivation of a two-star Dou Saint."

Speaking of this, Feng Qing'er slightly raised her chin as if showing off.

Hearing the word aunt, Qin Yun was also slightly surprised. It seemed the guesses in those previous fanfics really got some parts right.

If that was the case, could he use Feng Qing'er to find a way to contact Fenghuang behind her?

Although a two-star Dou Saint was worse than a dog in the very late stages, in the early stages, especially right at the start of the plot,

she was an absolute backing. It was no joke that a single finger could destroy the entire Jia Ma Empire.

However, this trip might not necessarily go smoothly. After all, some fellows completely failed to act like human beings; a dignified nine-star Dou Saint actually let his own daughter lurk in the Xiao Clan,

under the fine-sounding name of giving his daughter a complete childhood, while secretly searching for the Tou She Ancient God Jade behind the scenes.

He didn't bother to look at the wretched things he had done back then. If it weren't for the twists of fate that made his daughter fall in love with Xiao Yan, he himself would probably be the one liquidated after the fight with Hun Tiandi.

The trip to the Xiao Clan mainly required paying attention to Xiao Xun'er. It was best to avoid too much contact. For the sake of her Brother Xiao Yan,

this girl might summon her old man over at the drop of a hat. When that time came, Fenghuang coming over would just be delivering a mount for free.

"Since you have such a background, why don't you cultivate properly in the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan and bother to run to this godforsaken place to waste time?"

Qin Yun asked again. To be honest, when he saw such an arrangement in the original work, he also found it completely baffling.

"Aiyā, are you annoying or not? Why ask so much?" Feng Qing'er obviously didn't want to answer this private question, but after struggling for a while, she still explained a little,

"I want to prove my talent. Even without the cultivation of top-tier famous teachers and resources, I can still break through to Dou Saint, so I came here."

"Oh." Qin Yun seemed to have anticipated this answer long ago, yet the next second he directly pierced her heart with a knife,

"But in my opinion, this is a very stupid behavior. Don't use proving your talent as an excuse to find a teacher who isn't too powerful to guide you.

According to that logic, you might as well go acknowledge someone whose realm is only a Da Dou Shi as your teacher.

As a result, you still chose the Wind and Lightning Pavilion now. What does this show? It shows that even you felt guilty in your heart, and you didn't even approve of your own idea as correct."

"You... you... you don't understand! You simply don't understand the pride of our Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan."

Feng Qing'er's little face turned red with anger, as if poked deep in her heart, and it seemed the two of them would quarrel in the next second.

As for Fei Tian, who was responsible for guarding their safety nearby, he had already silently distanced himself at this moment. Even his right hand holding the teacup was shaking slightly,

My little ancestor, you are actually the first person who dared to say such things to this lass. Although your talent is better than hers and our Wind and Lightning Pavilion has some face,

we can only be considered small fry in front of the entire Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan. If you really tick this lass off, our Wind and Lightning Pavilion won't be able to hold the line.

"Hehe." Hearing Feng Qing'er's words, Qin Yun didn't engage in the intense debate with her that she imagined; he merely gave her an eye-roll.

"Then what do you say we should do? We can't just lie flat directly." Seeing the other party's attitude, Feng Qing'er grew even angrier, raising her voice by several decibels.

"Isn't lying flat good? If it were me, I would utilize all limited resources around me to strive to improve my realm, bringing greater returns to the race in the future.

Being born in a high-tier race is a piece of good fortune to begin with,

whereas casting aside this innate advantage and making oneself like an ascetic monk, suffering hard for no reason, is the most stupid behavior of all.

Not only does it waste talent, but it also drags down the entire clan."

Dropping these words, Qin Yun took out a rocking chair, lay flat on it entirely, and began to enjoy his few moments of leisure time, leaving Feng Qing'er out in the cold.

"You, you, you... you fellow are simply unreasonable. How could I lose to a person like you?" Feng Qing'er was left speechless by the retort for a moment, stumbling over her words,

yet the problem now was that she simply couldn't beat this bastard. If she forced herself to act cool, it would only result in another beating.

In the end, she could only stamp her foot fiercely, return to her bedroom, and contemplate life.

Meanwhile, Qin Yun wasn't completely relaxing yet; instead, he was considering how to close the distance after meeting Xiao Yan.

First step: if time permitted and he caught up with the major event of the Three-Year Agreement, he should stand on Xiao Yan's side and help him out a bit, even if it meant just speaking a few words for him.

After all, when Lucky Bro was at his lowest point, as long as you revealed the slightest bit of goodwill, the other party would treat you as a friend. Toward someone considered a friend,

Xiao Yan was also extremely generous. Just like the angel investor Hai Bodong, in the later stages, he wouldn't even bother smoking unless it was lit with Heavenly Flames.

Mm, roughly like that, but Yao Lao in Xiao Yan's ring was an old fox. Since he planned to support Xiao Yan,

naturally he should love the house and its crow, seeing if he could farm some favorability with the master as well.

Although Yao Lao was a seasoned veteran of the pugilistic world, Qin Yun had only pondered for a moment before finding a very good pledge of allegiance:

that was Yao Lao's good disciple Han Feng. This fellow was someone who betrayed his master and destroyed his ancestors.

He reckoned that as long as he took that guy's head to see Yao Lao, his favorability would definitely shoot straight up.

Of course, the main reason was that Han Feng was a bit easier to deal with. After all, ever since something happened to Yao Lao, Venerable Feng had always kept his eyes on this precious disciple of his.

Because he was constantly watched, Han Feng felt extremely guilty and could only abandon all connections, running off to the Black-Corner Region alone to develop.

Though he was currently mixing with moderate success, he merely reigned supreme in the Black-Corner Region.

His strength was only around the five-star Dou Emperor level, but a lean camel is bigger than a horse. He and Feng Qing'er certainly couldn't handle it, but there was still Fei Tian, the five-star Dou Zong.

As long as he could persuade him to make a move, a single slap could crush that unfilial disciple and the network behind him.
