End of Book 1
*****
The round moon hung high tonight, surrounded by brightly shining stars that gave color to the monotonous darkness of the night. The liveliness of the town was still in full swing, as could be discerned from the crowded streets filled with various night-time activities.
The arenas were still preoccupied with excited combatants and greedy betting pools, as a few young and beautiful women were also loitering around the entrance of different brothels, dressed in slightly revealing clothing and giving off suggestive gestures to nearby wanderers.
As Feng Yu made his way towards the Feng Manor, he couldn't help but give a second glance towards these females as he observed some of the battles while walking by nearby arenas.
"It's as they say, 'the night sees no end during prosperous times.' It will only get more intense on the final night before the commencement of the talent selection. I've never seen such a lively scene at night-time even in my previous life," Feng Yu said as looked on in admiration.
After a bit more traveling, he eventually arrived at the Feng Family's domain, seeing the large mansion before him with the ancient phoenix symbol that was hung atop of its towering entrance. There was a slight fluctuation in his bloodline as a slight wave of comfortable energy started to flow within him. The guards standing at the entrance were as keen as ever, promptly inquiring about the haggard stranger before them.
"You are approaching the Feng---" As one of the guards was about the say his trademark speech, he was promptly cut short by a familiar looking guard, who tapped his shoulders as he made his way in front of him cupping his hands politely at the beggar in front of them.
"Welcome Home, Young master Yu!" The other guard said after hearing his words. The previous guard quickly joined him by cupping his hands and bowing politely.
Regarding the prompt response and action, Feng Yu was pleased, especially when he observed the reaction of the familiar looking guard. He reached his hand out and tapped the guard's shoulders as spoke to him.
"Such keen eyesight, to think you'd be able to recognize my face even when I'm in dirt and rags. I wonder why you failed to recognize me during our last encounter? Hmm, what's your name?" Feng Yu said as he looked towards him with keen interest.
A wave of embarrassment came over the guard's face as he replied: "This servant's name is Dai Lin; I'd like to apologize once more to Young master Yu for my previous mishap."
"Hmm, well then Dai Lin. Do you know if my father and the elders have exited their secluded session?" Feng Yu asked.
Dai Lin hearing this question pondered for a short while before speaking "Replying to Young master, about a month ago there was an unusual phenomenon that took place. It was said that during that strange event, the clan leader, along with the rest of the family members had completed their seclusion session."
"Unusual phenomenon? Oh well, I can inquire about this later. Where are they right now?" Feng Yu said with a bit of surprise in his tone. He thought to himself "How could de-archiving their bloodlines be so quick. Could it be related to my awakening or is it because of that phenomenon?"
"Currently, the clan leader should be within the main hall room with a few of the core clan elders. If I remember correctly, today is the day when they are to meet once again." Dai Lin said as he tapped his forehead with his index finger slightly.
"Hmm, Very Good! Dai Lin, here is a small token of my appreciation for your clear and concise information." Feng Yu said as he flicked his thumb slightly.
Swish!! Tap!
A small round pill was shot into Dai Lin's hand, looking closely at the pill; Dai Lin gained a more favorable impression towards Feng Yu. Quickly storing it away, he bowed once again offering his thanks to Feng Yu.
"Dai Lin thanks Young Master Yu for your gracious gift!"
"Don't mind it; I realized that your cultivation has stagnated at the peak of 8 Tier of Body Training realm. Once you take that small foundation pill, you should be able to clear up blockage caused by your impure foundation. Well then, see you later Dai Lin." Feng Yu said as he continued through the already open entrance leaving the two guards behind.
Looking at Feng Yu's disappearing figure, a light of gratitude shone deep within Dai Lin's eyes, he made a polite gesture once more before reorganizing himself into guard duty once more. The other guard, feeling a bit envious, also followed suit with a bitter taste in his mouth...
