Now that one matter was resolved, he should resolve the other one. The Clan Lord glared at his son, "Where have you been? You dare to go out with such weak powers."

Feng Ao Xiu glared back, "You too! What's with the Chicken in Tiger Skin threat earlier? Do you know how much I sacrifice for this nonsense?"

"F*ck, It's all your fault. When I realized you were gone, I immediately send that message. Did you really think I don't understand the meaning behind your promise?"

To keep the secret as intact as possible, Feng Zhong Tian put his son under house arrest. As an Iron Mortal Realm Cultivator himself, he could easily felt the aura presence of others pa.s.sing around him, even an Iron Sky Realm Cultivator would not be able to sneak out undetected easily.

Yet, when Feng Ao Xiu sneak out of the house, no one could detect him. The reason was simple, Feng Ao Xiu has no aura. Even, the highest level Ancient Sky Realm couldn't do it, much less someone like Feng Zhong Tian.

Feng Zhong Tian felt frustrated that he just realized this fact. He regretted that he did not lock his son in his room.

"Now tell me! What are you doing outside?"

"I was trying to find a spirit stone."

Feng Zhong Tian became confused, "Spirit stone? Spirit stones were used to help cultivate. You're not a cultivator, why do you need a spirit stone? Besides, there are a lot of spirit stones right here."

"Spirit stone was not only for cultivation. Those stones were all ordinary spirit stones. What I want is a pure coloured spirit stone."

Feng Zhong Tian became even more confused, "What's a pure coloured spirit stone?"

"Of course you don't know! Pure coloured spirit stone is a special..."

* knock... knock... *

Suddenly a servant knocked on the door, "I want to talk about Chicken in Tiger Skin!"

Feng Zhong Tian eyes were wide open.

[Chicken in Tiger Skin? Why does he want to talk about Chicken in Tiger Skin? Could he had found out?]

Feng Zhong Tian's mouth was shaking, "Co... come in"

The servant enters the room. Before the servant could say anything, the Clan Lord quickly asked, "You... you know about Chi... Chicken in Tiger Skin?"

The servant replied with a smile, "Yes."

Feng Zhong Tian couldn't believe it, this servant actually has interpreted the meaning behind Chicken in Tiger Skin. He regretted using this term, he should just threaten his son directly.

The Clan Lord glanced at his son. Feng Ao Xiu's face was pale and cold sweats runs thorough his cheek. Looks like he also didn't know what happened.

The Clan Lord carefully asked, "Did anyone else knew?"

"Yes, everyone knew it."

Zhong Tian couldn't help but cursed in his heart. The servant was smart enough not to reveal his companion. Feng Zhong Tian also couldn't kill this servant or the secret will be revealed. This time it's the real blackmail.

The Clan Lord starts negotiating, "Twenty?"

The servant shook his head, "It's not enough."

"How about fifty gold taels?"

The servant asked, "What? Fifty gold taels?"

"Fine! 100 gold taels!"

"Clan Lord, are you asking me to buy the ingredients?"

"Last offer! 300 gold taels... Wait! What ingredients?"

The servant became confused, "The ingredients to prepare Chicken in Tiger Skin. Didn't you want to eat the Chicken in Tiger Skin?"

"..."

"..."

Feng Zhong Tian couldn't help but ask, "Umm... We're talking about food?"

"Umm... Yes?"

"What do you mean by 'Everyone knew it'?"

"This servant actually knew how to prepare Chicken in Tiger Skin. Since all the servant were talking about how the Clan Lord and Second Young Master want to eat Chicken in Tiger Skin. This servant has made a delicious Chicken in Tiger Skin for Master and directly come here to inform that it's ready."

Feng Zhong Tian blinked a lot and ask again, "What do you mean by 'It's not enough'?"

"When Master said 'Twenty', thought that Master was asking to prepare twenty servings, but there are not enough ingredients. Then, this servant realized that it was about money, that's why this servant thought the money was supposed to be used to buy the ingredients. Clan Lord, why so much money just for the ingredients?"

"..."

"..."

The Clan Lord and Second Young Master sat down and start eating. The Clan Lord took fist-sized chicken meat covered in tiger skin with his chopsticks. He took a bite.

"It's delicious!"

***

"It's delicious!"

A middle-aged man wearing a red robe holds chopstick, happily chewing food in his mouth. He excitedly compliments the food he ate, "This Chicken in Tiger Skin food is really delicious. As expected of Sealing Dragon Restaurant, I wonder how they made such tasty food."

This place was the famous restaurant in Xiang Lan Nation, Sealing Dragon Restaurant. This restaurant served the best food in the country, but it's so expensive that only the n.o.bles from the middle and upper clan could ever get the chance to sit here.

Another middle-aged man wearing a grey robe holds a wine cup. He took a gulp of wine, then he said to his friend, "Did you hear the news? The Second Young Master of the Feng Clan is still alive."

"What? Really?", shouted the man in red.

"Yeah, three years missing and finally back. Guess what is his cultivation level?"

"Well... He is a genius. Could it be Jade Mortal Realm?"

"Ancient Earth Realm"

"What!! Ancient Earth Realm!", the man in red was shocked. "I knew he was a genius. I knew he will someday reach the group of Ancient Realm but not this fast."

The man in grey touched his chin, contemplating about something, then he said, "The news hasn't spread that far yet. We must make haste, move before the other clans could."

After a short pause, he said again, "Clan Lord, don't you think Xue Yi is a good match for Feng Ao Xiu?"

At another table not too far, a white-robed young man sitting in the middle was very angry. The killing intent can be felt from the Qi Aura of the young man.

"This is supposed to be a happy occasion, but all I heard are bad news. Fifth Elder, what is this supposed to mean?"

The Fifth Elder felt wrong, he nervously said, "Young Master, I am sorry, I thought Feng Ao Xiu would die falling into the Dark Cloud Ravine."

"He would die, your a.s.s! Why is he still alive?", the young man scolded. "It's fine if you fail, but you let that b.a.s.t.a.r.d turn into Ancient Earth Realm expert."

The other elder and the member of the clan also look at the Fifth Elder with angry eyes. Actually, the Fifth Elder was not wrong. No one has ever survived after entering the Dark Cloud Ravine. It's the first time they ever heard somebody survive. But they still have to blame somebody, letting the enemy grew stronger will create more damage to their clan.

The Young Master coldly said, "Kill Him!"

The First Elder immediately let out a palm strike at the Fifth Elder. The Fifth Elder neck broke instantly, his life is lost.

A servant said, "The Young Master of Feng Clan and Li Clan has arrived!"

The Young Master turned his head and smiled, "Zhi Yan, Gao Yun, Come, let's eat!"

Feng Zhi Yan and Li Gao Yun sat down and glanced at the table still full of foods, none of the foods was touched. Then, they looked at a dead body at one of the chairs. They can roughly guess what happens.

Feng Zhi Yan said, "I see that Young Master Zhao already heard the news."

"Your brother has become a pain in the a.s.s. You need to do something about him!" said Young Master Zhao coldly while tossing a small gla.s.s bottle to Feng Zhi Yan.

Fen Zhi Yan closely observes at the gla.s.s bottle he just caught. A mysterious black liquid was inside the bottle.

"This is... I see. No need to worry, I'll definitely take care of him."

"I trust that you will do a good job."
