Chapter 127 - 127 Scented Bun_l
Li Cheng had long guessed that since it was the Five Elements Elf Tribe, it must be arranged in the order of the Five Elements cycle, forming a loop.
From the Wood Elf Clan to the Fire Elf Clan, the next one would definitely be the
Earth Elf Clan, hence his question.
But that wasn’t the point, the point was the Inheritance Stele of the Fire Elf
Clan hadn’t been obtained yet.
“Master Li, don’t listen to this old man’s nonsense, please have a seat, this banquet was prepared for you.”
“After the banquet, let us have a good discussion about Artifact Refining Technique,” Tribe Chief Yan Qing said with a smile.
As he said this, Yan Qing waved his hand casually, and an extra chair appeared beside Li Cheng’s seat, “Yao’er, please sit as well.”
Having been accustomed to living in fear within the Fire Elf Clan, how could YanYao dare to sit?
Elder Qingfeng kept Yan Yao by his side, “Yan Qing, what are you thinking? I’ve said it, we are leaving, we don’t dare to climb high and reach for you, the pure- blooded Fire Elf Clan!”
Not giving Yan Qing a chance to say more, Elder Qingfeng grabbed Li Cheng and
Yan Yao and took off into the sky!
Feng Wanli and his companions had no choice but to say their farewells hurriedly and chased after Elder Qingfeng.
At that moment, Yan Qing’s face turned ashen, and the members of the Fire Elf
Clan were so angry they gritted their teeth, “Elder Qingfeng is too
disrespectful!”
Yan Qing slowly turned his gaze towards a few old men and old women a few seats away, “Who was running their mouth unchecked earlier, claiming anyone with impure blood should become servants on the spot?”
The old woman frowned, “It has been like this for thousands of years, what’s wrong with it? The strong prevail, and it’s an honor for the weak to serve us, the strong!”
“Yes, we, as Immortals, having a few maids and servants is quite normal, isn’t
it?” the old man also said.
Yan Qing glared at the two, “It is quite normal, but can’t you watch what you
say depending on the situation? Running your mouths unchecked, do you still not understand what our Fire Elf Clan has lost?”
YanYao was taken away, ah!
With the Five Elements Meridian Pearl in hand, Yan Yao would have been the strongest among the five clans in the future, and she should have belonged to the Fire Elf Clan. But because of their interference, it’s over, she’s become a member of the Wood Elf Clan now.
“Clan Leader, don’t blame them. Actually, everyone is at fault here, but there’s no need to delve into that now. The urgent matter is to figure out how to form a good relationship with Master Li,” someone advised.
“Yes, Clan Leader, things haven’t reached an irreparable state yet, as long as we
are sincere enough…”
Yan Qing waved his hand to cut off those trying to persuade, “The Clan Leader knows what to do, no need for your idle talk.”
Having said that, he rose into the air and flew towards the Earth Elf Clan.
“Elder Qingfeng and the others headed to the Water Elf Clan, why is the Clan Leader going to the Earth Elf Clan?” the old woman asked, puzzled.
“Perhaps he’s going to ask Shan Qian for help!”
In the sky, after Li Cheng and the others had flown far away, Elder Qingfeng finally let go of Li Cheng and said with a dry chuckle, “Benefactor, please forgive me!”
” Senior, that was a clever move, taking in an adopted daughter and tying the future emperor to the Wood Elf Clan. You figured out I wanted to take on a disciple from the beginning, didn’t you?” Li Cheng said with a smile, just as he had taken his seat, Li Cheng glanced in Yan Yao’s direction, and unexpectedly, Elder Qingfeng had guessed it!
This old man was also not simple, deliberately using the servant matter to speak ill of the Fire Elf Clan, embarrassing them while also earning a round of goodwill.
No doubt, quite a few Fire Elf Clan members with multiple attributes were now thinking of running off to the Wood Elf Clan.
Elder Qingfeng laughed, “Indeed, I noticed it when Benefactor specifically looked at Yan Yao in the crowd as you took your seat; I knew it was no small matter!”
“But since she is a disciple predetermined by Benefactor, how could she be treated like that by the Fire Elf Clan? Moreover, we are all one family, yet they categorize and discriminate against their own clan members. I was truly angry.”
“In the Wood Elf Clan, we do not have such a situation, we are all clan members, and of course, we must treat each other equally.
Monkey Kongxu rolled his eyes, “Having servants and maids is very common, but you’ve managed to spin it… never mind, you old man, you’re very cunning!”
“But the Fire Elf Clan hasn’t given the Inheritance Stele to Brother Li yet, let’s see how you handle this!” The monkey’s tone shifted as he added.
Elder Qingfeng stroked his beard, very certain in his proclamation, “Don’t worry, they will deliver it soon!”
Li Cheng nodded, the Five Elements Meridian Pearl in hand, and having taken Yan Yao with him, Yanqing was bound to find an excuse to send the Inheritance Stele.
How troubling for him-it’s not every day you have to find an excuse to give a gift.
Hehe…
“Master Li truly keeps his word. You arrived so quickly, please come in!”
The Clan Leader of the Water Elf Clan, Mingyue, appeared ahead, her stunning face adorned with a smile that seemed capable of making flowers bloom.
“Tribe Chief Mingyue!” Li Cheng greeted with a fist and palm salute. Mingyue’s figure was graceful, and as she stepped through the air, a faint mist swirled around her, like a delicate veil.
– who is this?” Mingyue asked with curiosity as she approached and saw Yan Yao.
She had met everyone else, but not Yan Yao, and what piqued her curiosity more was that Elder Qingfeng was carrying her with Immortal Yuan. “Haha, my adopted daughter, Yan Yao!” Elder Qingfeng declared with a proud chuckle.
Mingyue’s eyes lit up, “Well, that’s wonderful, congratulations to you, Elder Qingfeng.”
As she spoke, Mingyue took out a jade hairpin and personally placed it in Yan Yao’s hair, “Little sister, my name is Mingyue, this small gift is for you, I hope you like it.”
YanYao was pleasantly shocked. Fully aware of the giver’s status, how could she expect that the esteemed Clan Leader herself would personally adorn her with a jade hairpin?
“Hey, Mingyue girl, don’t get any funny ideas, she’s my adopted daughter and belongs to my Wood Elf Clan!” Elder Qingfeng said with a laugh.
The matter of the Five Elements Meridian Pearl must have been spread by someone from the Fire Elf Clan, Elder Qingfeng didn’t believe Mingyue was uninformed.
“It’s precisely because she’s the adopted daughter of Elder Qingfeng that I brought a meeting gift,” Mingyue said with a smile.
Saying so, Mingyue took Yan Yao by the hand, whisked her away from Elder Qingfeng, and led the way.
The residential area of the Water Elf Clan was also a cluster of Floating Peaks, countless peaks suspended in the sky, with a vast lake beneath them. Many boats floated on the lake, and numerous Water Elf Clan members played in the water like fish, creating a serene scene.
Li Cheng felt a bit disappointed inside because he did not find a disciple recognized by the system here.
Following Mingyue up to the main peak, he saw that Yanqing was already waiting there, accompanied by Shan Qian and Xingyu.
Mingyue looked puzzled, “Why are you two here?
With skin as smooth as fine porcelain, Xingyu stepped forward with a smile, “We heard that Master Li took an interest in someone from the Fire Elf Clan who has the Five Elements attribute. So, sister decided to bring our clan members over too!”
“Please forgive me, Master Li, I also brought over clan members who possess the Five Elements attribute,” said Shan Qian as he too gave a fist and palm salute.
Li Cheng had taken a liking to Yan Yao at first sight in the Fire Elf Clan and even offered the Five Elements Meridian Pearl, thankfully Yan Yao had not accepted it.
But they couldn’t wait any longer, having gathered all clan members with the Five Elements attribute, they immediately came over.
Afraid that if they were too late, someone else would beat them to it.
Xingyu and Shan Qian each took out an Immortal Mansion, and they expanded the mansions on a vacant plot of land. A group of Elf Tribe members with the Five Elements attribute came walking out.
Everyone felt sentimental-it used to be that those with the Five Elements attribute were the least favored in their clans.
But now, they’ve all become hot commodities!
