Chapter 2281: Day of the Agreement
Edited by RED
“My father probably hates the Snow Clan,” said Zhe Tian. “Mom, you told me that when you were pregnant, dad was very happy, you were happy together… but when the Snow Clan intervened. They kidnapped you, and if a Saint hadn’t helped, they would have killed him. Even though I wasn’t there, I can imagine what it felt like.”
“I can also imagine what it must have felt like to be kidnapped by a clan in which you’ve never lived, and to be separated from the most important person in your life for twenty years, and on top of that, they nearly killed him. I know you hate them,” said Zhe Tian. He knew that his mother had cried a lot in life because of those things. He knew how she felt.
“However, my position is different, because I was born here and the Snow Clan is good to me. Therefore, for me, the best thing would be if the Snow Clan could accept my father. If that’s impossible, I won’t let the Snow Clan hurt my father,” Zhe Tian said calmly.
Meng Qing looked at Zhe Tian and sighed. So many years had passed, Zhe Tian had grown up in the Snow Clan. In the end, he liked the Snow Clan. She couldn’t blame him for that.
But Meng Qing understood that the Snow Clan was very powerful. With Lin Feng’s personality, he wouldn’t accept having cordial relations with the Snow Clan. Lin Feng had been humiliated by them. Even if the Snow Clan said they agreed to let Lin Feng live with her, would he accept? Could things be that simple?
And Lin Feng wasn’t the only person to think that way. Any man, after being humiliated like that, wouldn’t accept such a thing. They had stolen the most important person of his life. They wanted to kill him. After a long time, if they accepted letting them live together, could he forgive them?
Even if the Snow Clan was her clan, Lin Feng wouldn’t accept such a thing!
“It’s difficult for you,” Meng Qing said, caressing Zhe Tian’s head. No matter what Zhe Tian decided, she wouldn’t blame him; he was one of the two men she loved the most in life.
Zhe Tian said nothing, but then he whispered, “Mom… if he comes, do you think he can win?”
“Of course!” said Meng Qing confidently.
Zhe Tian nodded. He had seen how strong his father was when he was still a child; he had faith in his father, too!
“I don’t think anyone in the Snow Clan knows your father is the one who ranked first in the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds. You saw your father there. Unfortunately, back then, I wasn’t interested in going on out and going to such events. Otherwise, I would have been able to see your father,” said Meng Qing. She smiled when she thought about Lin Feng. She was convinced that he was going to come soon!
“After Saint Jue took you back, he never mentioned things of the lower world, maybe he has forgotten about the agreement. Xue Ao has been practicing cultivation intensively. He didn’t even pay attention to the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds. However, Jing Xiao did, but he doesn’t know my father. There aren’t many people who know who my father is in the Snow Clan. But when he comes, everybody will know who he is!” whispered Zhe Tian. Meng Qing nodded.
The Snow Clan didn’t know Lin Feng, maybe it was just due to a strange combination of circumstances. Saint Jue hadn’t really taken the agreement to heart. They had even forgotten about the agreement.
——————-
As they were talking, out in the vast snowy world, someone suddenly opened his eyes. It was Saint Jue, the one who had brought Meng Qing back back then. He took a deep breath, and the snow around him melted.
“The twenty-year period is almost over,” murmured Saint Jue. He had activated a sort of alarm in his mind to wake him up while he was meditating in seclusion. He took out a jade talisman and said, “Xue Ao, the twenty-year period is almost over. If you’re not in the Snow Clan, come back. If old Shi Jue comes back with the guy, you can handle the situation alone, I’ll naturally come and watch.”
He closed his eyes again. He didn’t really believe that Shi Jue Lao Xian would bring Lin Feng back. He asked Xue Ao to get prepared just so that Shi Jue Lao Xian couldn’t say that they hadn’t respected the agreement.
Saint Jue didn’t know that Shi Jue Lao Xian had already arrived in the Imperial Court of the Continent of the Nine Clouds!

A few people were in a restaurant in the Northwest Area; Lin Feng, Qing Feng, and Jing were waiting together.
Someone suddenly appeared in front of them out of nowhere and smiled, “I’m here!”
The person took out a gourd and took a big swig of alcohol. His cheeks turned red.
“Teacher!” Qing Feng said happily. Shi Jue Lao Xian hadn’t changed. He still drank all the time.
“My good disciple,” said Shi Jue Lao Xian with a smile. Then, he looked at Lin Feng in amusement. “There’s something wrong. What kind of cultivation level is that? You look like an emperor and at the same time you don’t; you also look like a great emperor, and at the same time you don’t.”
“Tian Di layer,” said Lin Feng. A particular strength appeared around him. Shi Jue Lao Xian was staring at him. After a few seconds, he smiled. “Interesting. You’re really a Celestial Emperor. You can even hide your cultivation level from me!”
Lin Feng smiled. He wasn’t a Celestial Emperor, either. Thanks to some techniques he had learned from the Fortune Shrine, he could fake his cultivation level. However, if the difference between his real cultivation level and the cultivation level he pretended to be was too wide, then it was easy to see it wasn’t true. However, Lin Feng had no cultivation level, so there couldn’t be a real difference between his real nonexistent cultivation level, and the one he pretended to have, and it was enough for Shi Jue Lao Xian to believe him when Lin Feng showed him the strength of the Tian Di layer.
“You became a Celestial Emperor within twenty years, you don’t really need me anymore,” said Shi Jue Lao Xian with a laugh. “But back then, Xue Ao was already a powerful great imperial beast, he must be a powerful Celestial Imperial Beast now. Do you think you can defeat him easily?”
“Yes,” said Lin Feng nodding. He could easily defeat Xue Ao indeed.
“Good, but the agreement was that you would have to fight against one of their cultivators with a king-type body, in the end. Apart from Xue Ao, they have another one. I don’t know what his cultivation level is now,” said Shi Jue Lao Xian calmly. Then, he took another big swig of booze. His cheeks were even redder. He looked happy, as if alcohol was the only thing which could make him happy in the world.
“I think that if the Snow Clan loses, they might not necessarily respect the agreement,” said Lin Feng calmly.
“Of course, you must inform the Fortune Shrine first. All the Shrines want to kill you now. If you go to the Snow Clan as Lin Feng, the Shrines will quickly know you’re there,” Shi Jue Lao Xian said to Lin Feng telepathically. Even though he had been traveling all around the world, he had been paying attention to Lin Feng’s adventures.
“Yes,” Lin Feng nodded. As the Diviner had told him, he would need the help of the Fortune Shrine. Even though he would be able to get his revenge, he couldn’t face the whole Snow Clan, it was too powerful.
“Go to the Fortune Shrine for a couple days, get prepared. I know that the strongest cultivator of the Snow Clan who has a king-type body is in the Ice and Snow Shrine. He’s very talented. He’s much stronger than Xue Ao,” said Shi Jue Lao Xian.
Lin Feng nodded and stood up. “Alright, I’m off. I’ll get ready.”
“I’ll come and pick you up,” said Shi Jue Lao Xian dismissively. Lin Feng left the Northwest Area and headed back to the Fortune Shrine.

Time passed. The Snow Clan was peaceful and calm, but the old woman organized a few things because something great was happening in the Snow Clan.
Xue Jing Xiao had come back with a woman from the Ice and Snow Shrine. She was Di Jiang’s younger sister, Di Chan. She was in love with Xue Jing Xiao.
At the same time, many people in the Snow Clan also learned that Xue Jing Xiao had agreed to become a member of the Ice and Snow Shrine. The Snow Clan informed the Fire Shrine about it, so some people from the Fire Shrine were also going to take part in the ceremony. After all, Xue Jing Xiao was a strong cultivator of his generation, and all his friends, like Di Jiang, were geniuses.

Lin Feng was in the periphery of Fortune City. He gazed into the distance. He had gone through so much in life, he was less and less worried about random things. He wasn’t even angry at Yi Ren Lei anymore, only when he was in a bad mood. Even though she had made bad decisions in her life, she had never promised anything to Lin Feng.
However, he had never forgotten what the Snow Clan had done to him back in the days. They had humiliated him, and tried to kill him. They had stolen his wife, and he had never even seen his own child!
