Xia Xin watched Jiangli and Fu Shiyan leave, dazed and confused.
By the time he came back to his senses, Fu Shiyan’s car had already driven off.
Xia Xin wanted to chase after them, but it was too late. He could only look at Fu’er who was standing nearby.
"Fu’er, what’s going on with the Old Ancestor? She seems pretty biased towards Mr. Fu. I offer to cook her delicious food, but she never comes out!"
Hearing this, Fu’er replied quite seriously, "Xia Xin, have you ever thought that maybe your cooking isn’t as good as the food from a top chef?"
Is that even possible?
Fu’er patted his shoulder, and seeing his stunned expression, chuckled, "Alright, stop overthinking. The Old Ancestor wasn’t herself today. Letting her go out and relax is good for her. If Mr. Fu can take her out, that’s beneficial for us, isn’t it? Don’t worry, the Old Ancestor is no ordinary person; she won’t suffer any loss. You can stop worrying like a father now."
Seeing Fu’er walking towards the main hall, Xia Xin quickly followed him and asked seriously, "Fu’er, can I ask you something?"
Fu’er sat down by the railing in the corridor. It was noon, and there were no Pilgrims around, so he lazily asked, "What’s it?"
Xia Xin squatted in front of Fu’er and asked earnestly, "Fu’er, have you ever seen the Old Ancestor’s Spiritual Feature?"
Fu’er’s relaxed demeanor disappeared instantly, and he immediately frowned suspiciously, "Have you seen it?"
Xia Xin nodded, "Today at Minsheng Medicine, I saw the Old Ancestor’s Spiritual Feature, but it was blurry, like it was covered in a layer of fog... The only thing I remember clearly is the fire, such a huge fire..."
He strongly suspected that if Jiangli hadn’t controlled the flames at that time, the entire Jade Mountain would have been scorched.
Fu’er stroked his small mustache, remaining silent.
Xia Xin said anxiously, "Fu’er, do you know something? If you do, just tell me and stop keeping me in suspense."
Fu’er glared at him, "What could I know? I’ve never seen the Old Ancestor’s Spiritual Feature."
Xia Xin looked incredulous, "That’s impossible, isn’t it? Haven’t you been with the Old Ancestor for a long time?"
Fu’er clicked his tongue and explained, "After joining Xuanmen, I did stay in Jiaoyang Temple with the Old Ancestor for quite a while, but the Old Ancestor rarely came and went. She was almost always in seclusion. Even when she did come out, it was to handle some affairs with Tianxuan by her side. I didn’t spend much time with her, let alone see her Spiritual Feature."
Xuanmen’s Spiritual Feature, like the Dharma appearance in Buddhism, doesn’t manifest easily unless exerting full power or in an emergency.
Fu’er spent little time with Jiangli, let alone seeing her Spiritual Feature.
He didn’t tell Xia Xin that he had heard the Old Ancestor’s Spiritual Feature was a fierce omen.
Most who saw it died.
According to the rumors within the sect, the last time the Old Ancestor revealed her Spiritual Feature, scorched earth spread for miles, corpses lay everywhere, mountains crumbled, rivers dried, and living beings were devastated.
So, the legend said the Old Ancestor’s Spiritual Feature was a wicked omen, and those who see it would die.
Maybe that’s why almost no one had seen the Old Ancestor’s Spiritual Feature.
"You haven’t seen the Old Ancestor’s Spiritual Feature either...
Xia Xin didn’t notice the dark look that flashed in Fu’er’s eyes, believing his words and muttered, "Then, do you know what Qing Yue meant when he said the Old Ancestor’s Spiritual Feature was damaged by fifty percent?"
Fu’er’s eyebrows shot up, "Who told you that?"
"Qing Yue... " Xia Xin said, then added, "You haven’t met him yet. The Old Ancestor says he’s a fox spirit, a real fox spirit! He seems quite skilled. As soon as he saw the Old Ancestor’s Spiritual Feature, he said it was damaged by fifty percent and was only running on luck. What does that mean?"
