When the three saw Feng Tianlong arrive, they politely turned off the TV. Tang Zhi went to get him a drink, while Gu Mengyao found him a pair of slippers.
Wei Zhao told Feng Tianlong about taking part in the trial, and about Feng Xiaoxiao staying behind at the Ice Palace to cultivate...
"The Ice Palace? It's actually the Ice Palace? They set their sights on Xiaoxiao? The Ice Palace Master actually accepted her as a disciple on behalf of her master, and said Xiaoxiao would become the Palace Master in the future?" Feng Tianlong stared wide-eyed in astonishment, as if he had heard something utterly incredible!
"Yes, it's the Ice Palace. You've heard of it?" Feng Tianlong's reaction struck Wei Zhao as rather strange.
"I... have heard a little..." Feng Tianlong took a deep breath and said calmly. "It's a very formidable ancient sect. However, our Mysterious Investigation Bureau has little to do with the ancient-tier world..."
"So that's how it is..." Wei Zhao couldn't shake the feeling that Feng Tianlong had something more to say, but since Feng Tianlong didn't say it, Wei Zhao didn't feel comfortable asking.
"Xiaoxiao is truly fortunate. Meeting you was her blessing. Otherwise, even if she possessed a yin-cold constitution, she would never have been discovered in her lifetime, let alone become an inner disciple of the Ice Palace, much less its future Palace Master..." At this point, Feng Tianlong's expression dimmed. "Since even the Fire Spirit Holy Fruit can't resolve this yin-cold constitution, then Susu... ah, if only I'd known about such an opportunity sooner, Susu wouldn't have..."
"Oh, right, Uncle Feng, you don't need to worry. Xiaoxiao also asked the Ice Palace Master about Aunt Susu," Wei Zhao said with a smile. "Xiaoxiao cares about her mother's condition, so naturally she couldn't have failed to ask."
"Oh? What did the Ice Palace Master say?" Feng Tianlong asked hurriedly.
"Once Xiaoxiao breaks through to the Heaven-stage, she can refine the yin-cold qi in Aunt Susu's body and make it her own. From then on, Aunt Susu will become an ordinary person. She won't be able to cultivate, but she'll have no problem living several more decades," Wei Zhao said. "Of course, those 'several decades' start counting from the moment she wakes up. Right now her age has simply stopped at twenty, about the same as Xiaoxiao's..."
"A few decades is enough, a few decades is enough! I'm a Yellow-stage expert now, so my lifespan is a bit longer than an ordinary person's. By that reckoning, the time Susu and I have left will be about the same. Thank goodness—I can finally live to see this day!" Feng Tianlong was so overcome with emotion that his voice was somewhat distorted.
"But don't you want to break through to a higher level? Do you intend to stop at your current strength?" Wei Zhao asked.
Originally, Wei Zhao had wanted to enhance Feng Tianlong's strength too, but from what Feng Tianlong said, it seemed he didn't want that.
"No need. I want to live and die with Susu." Feng Tianlong shook his head. "This way, it works out perfectly! I've been in pain all these years, so being able to walk toward the end of life together with her is actually a good thing!"
