Chapter 462: Staring at the Chapter

Jiang Feng saw Miao Linfeng, his face bearing a hint of friendliness.

He and Miao Linfeng could be considered old acquaintances.

Previously at the Tianmu Wuzun Ruins, the two had interacted not a few times.

In any case, that time Yitian Pavilion gave Jiang Feng the opportunity, allowing him to step into the Half-step Martial Ancestor path.

So regarding this, Jiang Feng is still grateful.

Later, Yitian Pavilion, though it removed Duanmu Ya from the Jiangnan Branch Master position, Jiang Feng is still willing to give Yitian Pavilion a chance, out of the old bond.

"Miao Elder, long time no see."

Jiang Feng said lightly, his tone much gentler than usual.

Miao Linfeng gave a slight smile, walked gracefully, and stood before Jiang Feng.

Her gaze lingered on Jiang Feng for a moment, full of emotion.

When they first met, in Miao Linfeng's view, Jiang Feng was merely a peerless Heavenly Pride; although his future was boundless, he was ultimately just one of Yitian Pavilion's collaborators.

At that time, she could speak to Jiang Feng on equal footing, and to some extent, she even held the initiative.

But now, Jiang Feng has become someone she looks up to.

How long has it been since then?

For cultivators, it is but a flick of the finger.

Yet Jiang Feng has grown from a young Heavenly Pride to a level even she cannot fathom.

"Mr. Jiang, indeed long time no see."

Miao Linfeng let out a light sigh, her tone sincere.

"Years apart, Mr. Jiang's cultivation has become unfathomably deep."

Jiang Feng gave no reply, only gazed at her calmly.

Miao Linfeng knew Jiang Feng disliked formalities and roundabout speech, so she spoke directly.

"Mr. Jiang, I am here this time for two reasons: first, to see you; second, on behalf of Yitian Pavilion, to apologize to you and to the Head of Duanmu Family."

Duanmu Ya stood aside, and upon hearing this, was slightly startled.

Miao Linfeng turned her head toward Duanmu Ya and continued.

"When the news of Mr. Jiang's death first spread, Yitian Pavilion, to avoid offending the Jiangnan Wang, removed the Head of Duanmu Family from office. That was Yitian Pavilion's mistake."

Her tone was sincere, without any hint of perfunctory attitude.

"Therefore, to show Yitian Pavilion's sincerity, from now on, not only the Jiangnan Yitian Pavilion but the entire Southeast Five Provinces Yitian Pavilion will be managed by the Duanmu Family."

Upon hearing this, Duanmu Ya was stunned.

Southeast Five Provinces Yitian Pavilion?

That's no small number.

All five provincial Yitian Pavilion branches under her control?

One must know these five provinces account for thirty percent of the entire Yitian Pavilion's share!

"Miao Pavilion Master, this…"

Duanmu Ya seemed unable to believe it.

Miao Linfeng nodded, speaking earnestly.

"This is the headquarters' decision; I have already brought the appointment documents. From today, the Head of Duanmu Family becomes the overall responsible person for the Southeast Five Provinces Yitian Pavilion."

Duanmu Ya took a deep breath, suppressed her excitement, and looked at Jiang Feng.

She knew this appointment was not for her, but for Jiang Feng.

Miao Linfeng looked at Jiang Feng again, her tone even more solemn.

"Furthermore, from now on, Mr. Jiang will be Yitian Pavilion's supreme honored guest. All Yitian Pavilion resources may be called upon by Mr. Jiang at any time, without any limit."

She paused, then continued.

"We only hope Mr. Jiang will not, because of this matter, continue to bear a grudge against Yitian Pavilion."

After speaking, Miao Linfeng quietly watched Jiang Feng, awaiting his response.

The courtyard's atmosphere fell silent.

Duanmu Ya stood aside, her heart pounding rapidly.

She knew Jiang Feng's attitude would decide the future relationship between Yitian Pavilion and the Duanmu Family.

Jiang Feng was silent for a moment, then gave a light smile.

"Since that's the case, let the past remain the past."

Hearing this, Miao Linfeng let out a breath of relief.

She knew Jiang Feng had agreed.

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang, for your magnanimity."

Miao Linfeng gave a slight bow, her demeanor respectful.

Jiang Feng waved his hand, then suddenly changed the subject.

"However, I have one matter that requires Yitian Pavilion's assistance."

Miao Linfeng hurriedly replied.

"Please speak, Mr. Jiang; whatever Yitian Pavilion can accomplish, we will not refuse."

Jiang Feng looked at her, his tone even.

"I want Yitian Pavilion to gather information on the Ancient Wu Empire, focusing on its ruins."

"Ancient Wu Empire?"

Miao Linfeng's brows furrowed slightly, clearly shocked.

She of course knows the Ancient Wu Empire, which was an ancient empire before the previous dynasty, destroyed for several thousand years, and the remaining historical records are extremely scarce.

Why does Jiang Feng suddenly want to look for information on the Ancient Wu Empire?

However, the clever Miao Linfeng did not ask why, and simply nodded in agreement.

"Alright, after I return I'll assign personnel and fully gather news about the Ancient Wu Empire."

"Yitian Pavilion has branches and scouts everywhere; gathering information is our strong suit. Mr. Jiang, rest assured, as soon as there is news I will notify you Immediately."

Jiang Feng gave a hum and said nothing more.

Miao Linfeng hesitated for a moment and asked.

"Mr. Jiang, you are seeking the relics of the Ancient Wu Empire; is there some special reason?"

Jiang Feng glanced at her but said nothing.

Miao Linfeng Immediately understood that this was inconvenient to say, and hurriedly changed the subject.

"It was my prying. Mr. Jiang, rest assured, I will personally keep an eye on this matter and there will be no mistakes."

Jiang Feng nodded, turned and walked outward, and soon arrived at the doorway where Ma Jian was still waiting at the entrance.

"Jiang Ge, is the discussion finished?"

Jiang Feng nodded and got into the car.

Ma Jian also squeezed in, sat beside him, and Hehe Laughter said.

"Jiang Ge, you said the relics of the Ancient Wu Empire—can they truly be found?"

Jiang Feng opened his eyes, looked at the roof of the car, and was silent for a moment.

"They can be found."

Ma Jian nodded and said nothing further.

Jiang Feng closed his eyes, but his Brain kept thinking about the Ancient Wu Empire.

Duan Zhang said there was only a fifty percent confidence, but he thought it was more.

The relic must be within Jiangnan's territory, and it is very likely in some inconspicuous spot.

Only a Thousand years have passed, the world has changed, and the former capital has long been buried underground; finding it is indeed not easy.

Nevertheless, it doesn't matter.

He has time, and also patience.

More importantly, he has Yitian Pavilion and Jiangnan Wangfu as two forces helping him search.

As long as the relic exists, it can certainly be found.

Thinking this, Jiang Feng's heart became slightly steadier.

What he worries about most now is whether Duan Zhang will cause any trouble.

Although Duan Zhang agreed to cooperate, who knows what he is thinking inside?

After all, he is a Disciple of the National Teacher, and cannot have no hidden cards.

"Ma Jian."

Jiang Feng suddenly spoke.

Ma Jian promptly replied.

"Jiang Ge, what's the matter?"

"After we return, keep a close eye on Duan Zhang… given his status, I fear he may not be so willing to cooperate with us."

Ma Jian was startled for a moment, then nodded.

"Understood, Jiang Ge, rest assured, I will definitely keep a tight watch on him."

Jiang Feng gave a hum, closed his eyes again, and when he opened them once more, the car had already stopped at the Su Family Gate.
