“You cross the beach and then you’ll see the Ancestor . You go alone . ” said Zun Jue, pointing to a hut on the other side of the beach .
Lin Feng nodded and walked on . He quickly arrived in front of the hut, but didn’t enter immediately because the Ancestor wasn’t inside . He was down on the shore .
Lin Feng looked at the old man . He wore a short-sleeved black robe and was fishing . He seemed to have a carefree life . The bamboo basket next to him was still empty; there were no fish inside .
Lin Feng stood behind the old man . Lin Feng couldn’t sense any Qi, so it was impossible to tell whether the old man was a cultivator or not . He looked like an ordinary old man, but he was the Ancestor of the Fa Lan Empire, so he had to be the strongest cultivator in the empire .
Lin Feng stood on the sand and watched the man, not disturbing him . He just waited . One hour, two hours, three hours, and at that moment, the old man raised his left hand and lifted his rod; a big purple fish appeared .
He grabbed the fish and threw it back into the water, then continued fishing .
When Lin Feng saw that, he was confused, as the bamboo basket was still empty . Lin Feng understood that the old man wasn’t really fishing, he was catching fish and throwing them back .
“Fishing is a very elegant art . You don’t need to hurry when you fish . If you’re in a rush, you scare the fish away,” said the old man . Lin Feng listened carefully .
“In comparison to some other things, fishing has many different approaches, but equally satisfying results . If you’re in a rush, you won’t get any fish . If it’s supposed to be yours, it will be yours; if it’s not the right time, then it isn’t .
“When conditions are ripe, success is naturally achieved . If a fish is supposed to be caught, then it can’t escape, and nobody can steal it from you,” murmured the old man . Lin Feng was still listening .
Even though the old man was talking about fishing, he was also warning Lin Feng, telling him not to rush . But Lin Feng was confused .
Why did the old man tell him not to rush? Was he comparing the Fa Lan Empire to a fish? Lin Feng had made a mountain collapse, how could he not care?
Was that possible? Was the old man trying to trick him?
——
Time passed slowly . It was already late at night and dark . The sun was going down . The ocean was pitch-black and looked ominous . The old man stood up and put his rod and fishing things away .
Then he turned around and looked at Lin Feng . He smiled and said, “Lin Feng, little friend, sorry, I was fishing, so I forgot about your existence . ”
“It’s alright, Master . Congratulations for being able to enjoy such a carefree and happy lifestyle,” Lin Feng replied, smiling in response and shaking his head .
The old man smiled thinly . He grabbed his bamboo basket and walked back to the hut .
Lin Feng followed the old man . They entered the hut; it was small, but big enough for two people to sit . The old man pointed to a chair on which Lin Feng could sit .
Lin Feng sat down without hesitating . It was a small world without many rules .
“So, you wanted to see me, Master . How may I help you?” Lin Feng asked the old man . Lin Feng was a bit tired of wasting time already, so he wanted to be straightforward .
When the old man heard him, he smiled slightly and didn’t speak hastily . He just stared at Lin Feng . He looked old, but his eyes looked deep and unfathomable, as if he could see through people .
“Young people should stop being in a rush all the time, it’s not healthy .
“Don’t have too sex too often, either; it’s bad for the kidneys .
“You must keep your meridians pure . When they change, it’s impossible to get them back to normal,” said the old man after a long time . Lin Feng was a bit surprised, because those were normal things .
He had had a fast paced life, killing Fa Kun Lun, controlling the demon corpse army, and saving Yan Ran Xue, etc .
He had also had sex with Liu Fei recently, and just now during his fight with Fa Kun Lun, his meridians had been affected and stressed by his injuries . They had even nearly broke .
Lin Feng was astonished because the old man could see all those things .
“Interesting young man,” the Ancestor said when he saw Lin Feng seemed surprised . The old man laughed and shook his head . He wasn’t angry at Lin Feng, even though he had killed Fa Kun Lun .
Lin Feng took a deep breath and asked, “Master, please tell me what you intend to do about the fact that I killed Fa Kun Lun?” Lin Feng asked straightforwardly . He didn’t want the old man to torture him mentally .
The old man’s expression didn’t change, he just smiled .
“He’s dead, he’s dead . Why would I punish you?” replied the old man, smiling uncaringly . He took a teapot and poured some tea in a cup for Lin Feng, but Lin Feng wasn’t in the mood to drink tea .
Lin Feng was worried; what was the Ancestor of the Fa Lan Empire doing right now?
“You’re so young and you’re already a Half-Great Supreme God . Similar to Little Lan,” said the old man, chuckling and nodding approvingly .
Little Lan? Lin Feng was confused . Who was Little Lan now?
“Hehe, I know you’re confused .
It doesn’t matter . You will both understand in the future . You will also notice that my disciple is not bad,” said the old man, smiling strangely .
Lin Feng was even more confused . What did the old man want from him now? Lin Feng was really confused .
“Lin Feng, I don’t get involved in the affairs of the Fa Lan Empire . I just don’t want the Fa Lan Empire to be wiped off the maps of the continent . I want a place called the Fa Lan Empire to exist at all times,” stated the old man .
Lin Feng was relieved . Finally, something that made sense . He felt much better suddenly . If the old man had gotten angry because of Fa Kun Lun, Lin Feng would have been in trouble . Luckily, the old man didn’t care .
“Master, I killed Fa Kun Lun, I had no choice . But don’t worry, the Fa Lan Empire will not collapse . I won’t get involved in the affairs of the empire, either . The Fa family can continue leading the empire,” Lin Feng said to the old man .
The old man interrupted him and waved, “Hehe, little boy, you’re lying . You even said you wanted Fa Chun to become the new Emperor, I know everything . ”
“Fa Xuan is brave and wise, he was the perfect Emperor, but you suggested Fa Chun . And I know why!
“But as you wish . If Fa Kun Lun lost, he lost . The empire was in your hands and you didn’t break away from the old establishment to start everything anew, I’m relieved .
“You’re also very smart . You used puppets,” said the old man, smiling in amusement . Lin Feng blushed, feeling awkward . He just scratched his nose and forced a smile .
“Alright, we’re done talking about this . Now, I want to talk about you and Little Lan,” said the old man, smiling cheerfully .
Lin Feng didn’t know who Little Lan was…
“Master, what do I have to do with Little Lan?” asked Lin Feng, smiling uncertainly . What did the Ancestor want from him?
“A wedding, of course . Little Lan told me she likes you a lot and she wants to be your wife . So I wanted to know what kind of man she liked .
“Now you’re here, so I understand . She has a good sense of judgement . You are good for her, she is good for you,” said the old man, smiling widely .
Lin Feng suddenly looked glum . What was going on? “Eh, Master, I am completely lost . Who is Little Lan!?”
“It’s me!” As Lin Feng was sweating, the old man didn’t have time to reply . Lin Feng heard a voice behind him . It sounded like a proud woman .
Lin Feng turned around and was startled . He even started shaking from head to foot . “You, you…?”
