Chapter 2023: Persuasion

“In life, who knows what will happen tomorrow? Everyone can talk about great principles, but only those who have personally experienced them know their true correctness. There are no insurmountable hurdles in this world; we should cherish our family and friends because, sometimes when we wish to cherish them, they are already gone…”

Thinking of the Third Uncle who died to save him, and Huo Yihan who perished in the Star Sky Ancient City to save him, Lin Feng couldn’t help but feel sorrowful and tears fell.

“Please excuse me, Senior!”

Lin Feng wiped away his tears and said with embarrassment.

Xue Ranqiu said, “Master Lin is a person of true nature, how could I possibly laugh at Master Lin?”

Lin Feng said, “As a junior, there are things I shouldn’t say, but there are also things I really want to say. I heard from Ding Yunzhong about the matters involving each Senior. After so many years, no matter what has happened in the past, the camaraderie between fellow disciples still remains. Whether or not Senior agrees to introduce Senior Wen and Senior Zhuge, I just hope to see reconciliation between Senior Xue and Senior Wen, Senior Zhuge. I won’t disturb you any longer, Senior Xue, so I shall take my leave!”

Lin Feng made a respectful gesture to Xue Ranqiu and turned to leave.

Xue Ranqiu’s expression was conflicted. Seeing that Lin Feng was about to leave the living room, she said, “Alright! I’ll accompany you to try, but whether you can successfully persuade Senior Brother Wen and Senior Brother Zhuge depends on your own skills; I won’t interfere with their decisions.”

Lin Feng was overjoyed, saying, “Thank you, Senior! I won’t put you in a difficult position!”

…

Ten days later.

Lin Feng arrived again at Ice Snake Island.

“Senior Wen, Senior Zhuge, please open the prohibition quickly. I’ve brought someone to see you, Seniors.”

Lin Feng called out from outside the Great Array.

Wen Ziran and Zhu Gechenyi saw the situation outside from the Mountain River Mirror, and seeing Lin Feng’s return, they couldn’t help but roll their eyes.

“Why are you here again? Do you want to be thrown out again?” Zhu Gechenyi said irritably.

“Seniors, I’m here to introduce someone to you. Please open the prohibition quickly and come out to greet them. Otherwise, if this old acquaintance leaves, you will surely regret it!”

Lin Feng continued.

Seeing Lin Feng’s increasingly outrageous words, Wen Ziran and Zhu Gechenyi couldn’t help but chuckle coldly. Wen Ziran said, “Kid, what nonsense are you spouting? It seems you need to learn your lesson again, don’t blame us for fixing you up!”

As Wen Ziran spoke, he was about to make a move.

A woman walked in from outside.

This woman was none other than Xue Ranqiu.

Seeing Xue Ranqiu enter, Lin Feng quickly ran to her side.

“It seems the two Senior Brothers are not welcoming my arrival. In that case, I shall not disturb you two any longer.”

Xue Ranqiu said softly.

Upon seeing Xue Ranqiu.

Wen Ziran and Zhu Gechenyi were utterly stunned, disbelief written all over their faces.

Immediately, they hurriedly ran out from their closed-door cultivation cave without even putting on their shoes.

“Junior Sister, it’s all our fault, please don’t be angry!”

“Junior Sister, we were blind and ignorant, please calm down!”

Wen Ziran and Zhu Gechenyi came running out, continuously apologizing, devoid of any appearance of a Giant God Realm expert.

They were simply like children who had made mistakes, filled with remorse.

Lin Feng couldn’t help but think of a saying.

Evil people will always find their match.

These two old rascals finally have their day.

Watching them nod and bow, speaking humbly.

It was truly satisfying!

…

Lin Feng couldn’t help but grin widely.

Xue Ranqiu looked at Wen Ziran and Zhu Gechenyi, with years of grievances in her heart.

Now seeing Wen Ziran and Zhu Gechenyi, both heads streaked with gray.

She couldn’t help but feel a myriad of emotions.

We’ve all grown old, haven’t we?

Yes.

Just as Master Lin said.

What hurdles are truly insurmountable?

“How have you been all these years?” Xue Ranqiu asked with a trembling voice.

“Good, really good!”

“No, no, not good at all!”

Wen Ziran and Zhu Gechenyi began to speak incoherently.

They were so overwhelmed they could hardly believe it was all real.

Lin Feng said, “Three Seniors, this is not a place for conversation, let’s go inside!”

“Yes, yes, Junior Sister, quickly rest inside the Immortal Mansion!”

Wen Ziran and Zhu Gechenyi said hurriedly.

Xue Ranqiu nodded, and the four of them entered Wen Ziran and Zhu Gechenyi’s cave mansion.

The two had kept the place clean and spotless.

Lin Feng said, “Seniors, please catch up as if I’m not here.”

Wen Ziran, Zhu Gechenyi, and Xue Ranqiu treated Lin Feng as if he didn’t exist, sitting together reminiscing, talking about many things, and discussing past events. Sometimes, when they became emotional, they couldn’t help shedding tears, feeling innumerable emotions.

Xue Ranqiu timely brought up Lin Feng’s matters.

Wen Ziran and Zhu Gechenyi pondered briefly.

They naturally understood why Lin Feng had come.

Being old foxes themselves.

Every move of Lin Feng’s was visible to them.

Upon hearing Xue Ranqiu mention his matters, Lin Feng leaned forward and said, “My Dragon Sect grows and innovates every day, and with the inclusion of you two Seniors, it could undoubtedly dominate a region in the future.”

Wen Ziran said, “This reunion with Junior Sister Xue is thanks to Master Lin, but each matter is separate; Master Lin wishes to invite us to join the Dragon Sect, but we do not have such intentions.”

Zhu Gechenyi nodded and said, “We’ve always lived like reclusive immortals and have no intention of joining any faction.”

Lin Feng knew beforehand that persuading Wen Ziran and Zhu Gechenyi to join the Dragon Sect was a near-impossible task.

So upon seeing their attitudes.

He felt no surprise.

Instead, he thought it perfectly normal.

Lin Feng said, “I know you two Seniors as people like immortals don’t like constraints, so joining another force wouldn’t interest you. Today, I want to say three things; if you think what I say makes sense, hope you would consider it; if not, I won’t force you any further and will leave at once.”

“Alright, let’s hear what you have to say…”

Wen Ziran and Zhu Gechenyi nodded.

Xue Ranqiu also looked curiously at Lin Feng, not knowing what he wished to say.
