Chapter 2851: with translation of chapter title
Hearing Ye Zhangqing's tone, it was to have himself acknowledge this son; Zhao Zhengping naturally wouldn't go along.
I don't know Zhao Jie; what basis is there?
In response, Ye Zhangqing casually explained.
"Palace Master Zhao, this person is likely my third senior brother; his identity is probably something he made up to save his life."
"But you can't just randomly acknowledge a father."
Zhao Zhengping was speechless, but since Ye Zhangqing had spoken, he couldn't say much more.
Moreover, now isn't the time to argue about these; after casually explaining a sentence, Ye Zhangqing turned his head to look at A Jiu.
"Send a message back and just say everything is true; see how the Feather God Tribe responds."
Upon hearing that, A Jiu naturally nodded in agreement.
Having already betrayed them, A Jiu also understood that he could only go down this path to the end, with no possibility of turning back.
As for becoming a double-agent spy, for a professional like A Jiu, that would be the stupidest choice.
In the end, the result could only be displeasing both sides, ultimately leading to a dead end.
Therefore, having chosen Ye Zhangqing, from the start he had already completely abandoned the Feather God Tribe, and naturally obeyed Ye Zhangqing's words.
In front of the two, A Jiu took out a jade bead the size of a fingernail cap, very small, and this jade bead was the tool he used to communicate with the Feather God Tribe.
As the jade bead shattered, the message was also transmitted.
This jade bead is a one-time consumable; each bead can transmit only one message, and its manufacture is costly.
Although the price is high, the effect is also quite good.
Using this jade bead to send a message makes it extremely hard to detect; at least Zhao Zhengping was present, and although he saw it with his own eyes, aside from that he felt nothing special.
This also means that if Zhao Zhengping were not on the scene, even if he covered the entire Immortal City Beyond the Heavens with his divine sense, he could not detect any clue.
"What a good thing."
Unable to keep his eyes from lighting up, upon hearing that, A Jiu replied.
"Palace Master Zhao, this item can only be refined by the Feather God Tribe; I, too, could obtain some only because I have a mission."
"That's a pity."
They made a reply according to Ye Zhangqing's request, but Xu Jie and the others didn't know about these.
At this moment, being taken away, although temporarily there was no danger to his life, Zhao Zhengping was still worried.
Locked in the room, Zhao Zhengping paced back and forth, unable to resist turning his head to ask Xu Jie.
"Third junior brother, do you think they will really go to verify?"
Upon hearing that, Xu Jie, seated in the chair, said with a solemn expression.
"I don't know either; we can only see if Junior Brother Zhangqing can notice."
He couldn't possibly have calculated everything, and besides, who could have expected this sudden situation?
Having never encountered such a thing before, he naturally couldn't have prepared in advance; now he can only leave it to fate.
If they were truly exposed, then it could only be said that fate decreed it; the two brothers would likely find it hard to leave the Feather God Tribe's Shenjie.
For now, we can only leave it to heaven's will.
Xu Jie also had no confidence in his heart; upon this, Zhao Zhengping became even more panicked.
Meanwhile, while the two were secretly anxious, that Feather God Tribe elder also received a reply from A Jiu.
The letter confirmed the identities of Xu Jie and the others, and also said that this wasn't any secret, so a casual inquiry would reveal it; moreover, it seemed to casually ask about the whole matter, wondering why they suddenly thought of these two.
With A Jiu's affirmative reply, the elder's doubts naturally vanished completely.
He also briefly explained the matter to A Jiu again, the purpose being to let him prepare mentally, so he could respond if something happened.
After doing these, the elder murmured thoughtfully.
"Since it's true, we could make use of it; the Human Race likes to talk about propriety, righteousness, integrity, and shame, yet they can even drive away their own kin—how could the two of you win the people's support?"
Having thought this through, the elder quickly made a decision, bringing Xu Jie and Zhao Zhengping to the Human Race's Immortal City Beyond the Heavens for a visit.
At that time, he would have the two stand outside the city so those humans could take a good look at what kind of person their Palace Master is.
Even treating his own offspring so ruthlessly, let alone you.
Even if there is no substantial gain at that time, at least it could plant a thorn in the hearts of many humans.
Perhaps someday that thorn could play a big role.
Immediately he arranged the trip to the Human Race's Immortal City Beyond the Heavens; after all, it wasn't to start a war, just to take the two to disgust the humans a bit, and no extensive preparation was needed.
Meanwhile, in the Immortal City Beyond the Heavens, A Jiu received the reply and then informed Ye Zhangqing of the whole situation.
At this point, Ye Zhangqing had already confirmed that the two were his third senior brother Xu Jie and his senior brother Zhao Zhengping.
He felt some worry; how could they have fallen into the hands of the Feather God Tribe?
However, the third senior brother also had some quick wit, temporarily preserving his life; otherwise he would likely have been killed outright.
Meanwhile, Zhao Zhengping, although he also understood everything, still couldn't help but say.
"Still an unfilial son."
Although Xu Jie did this to save his life, for Zhao Tianqing the blame falls on himself.
Suddenly he had a grown son who wouldn't even speak, and yet he became a father who forced his child's life, a ruthless parent?
Thinking of Zhao Tianqing, who has lived his life upright and open, when has he ever done such a thing?
That damn thing is his own son; how could I treat him like that?
No, that damn thing isn't my son at all; I don't even know him.
"Elder Zhao, this matter still requires your cooperation."
Speechless to the extreme in his heart, but facing Ye Zhangqing's request, Zhao Tianqing gritted his teeth; what else could he say?
Having said all this, what more could be said.
Even pinching his nose, he had to admit it.
Good.
Confirming that this Zhao Jie was the third Shī xiōng Xu Jie, Ye Zhangqing also knew that saving someone wouldn't be easy.
Charging into the Feather God Tribe's Shenjie, let alone whether one can enter; even if one does, success would be very hard.
After all, that is an innate race like the Barbarian God Tribe; although they haven't had contact, comparing them to the Barbarian God Tribe lets one see a bit.
If it were the Barbarian God Tribe, even if the entire Human Race beyond the heavens pooled their strength, success would still be difficult.
Most likely, it would only be a pointless death.
So, entering the Feather God Tribe's Shenjie to save someone is not feasible; we must think of another way.
Ye Zhangqing didn't know yet that the Feather God Tribe's Elder planned to personally bring Zhao Zhengping and Xu Jie to the Immortal City Beyond the Heavens for a trip.
If he knew, he certainly wouldn't be so troubled; this would be the best opportunity.
With so few people coming to their Human Race's territory, if not now to save them, when? Unfortunately, Ye Zhangqing temporarily still doesn't know these things.
However, as the saying goes, everything has an unexpected joy; just when Ye Zhangqing had no idea what to do, A Jiu received another transmission from the Feather God Tribe's Elder.
And this transmission left A Jiu stunned.
"Young master, the Feather God Tribe side says they will bring those two Human Race members to the Immortal City Beyond the Heavens, so let me prepare early."
Huh???
