Chapter 204 The Fu Family 1
Fu Xun thought the Fu family would be sensible and not bother him again, but for some reason, two days later, he received another invitation to visit the Fu family.
Looking into his cold eyes, Leng Huan knew he was fed up, so he asked him to go to the Fu family to resolve the historical issues and arranged to pick him up in the evening.
Fu thought for a moment and agreed, "I'll be back soon."
Leng Huan nodded and watched him disappear into the courtyard. After a moment, she quietly followed him.
He was afraid that the Fu family's idiots would anger him, and he was also afraid that they might have some kind of conspiracy.
In the Fu family's reception room, all the elders and managers except those in seclusion were present.
The Nascent Soul elder, who had just emerged from seclusion, asked, "You said he's already at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage and will be the next sect master of the Misty Immortal Sect. Why would he be willing to come back? Are you sure he won't come looking for revenge?"
He slammed his hand on the table, and with a loud bang, a crack appeared on the finely carved wooden table. "Back when I was in seclusion, how did you force Fu Xun to leave? What did you do?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Xiao, the only junior present, guiltily looked away. He was already a Golden Core cultivator and glanced at the broken table.
Back then, the Fu family only took advantage of Fu Xun's misfortune and forced him to leave after he was seriously injured. But in the end, it was Fu Xiao who forced him to jump off the cliff. Apart from the head of the Fu family, no one knew about this.
The head of the Fu family forced himself to remain calm and exchanged a glance with his son before looking at the Nascent Soul Elder. “Grandpa, please don’t be angry. We are willing to compensate Fu Xun for what happened back then. Even if he doesn’t come back, please don’t hold a grudge against the family.”
The Nascent Soul elder, his hair and beard completely white, sneered at the Fu family head upon hearing this: "How do you know he'll accept the invitation? Won't you be turned away when you deliver the message?"
Fu Xiao couldn't bear to see his father being ridiculed by his elders, so he quickly cupped his hands in a gesture of respect and tried to smooth things over: "Grandpa, you don't know, he will definitely come back."
The Nascent Soul Elder waved his sleeve and closed his eyes to rest. He had originally been grooming Fu Xun as his successor, but he never expected that he would emerge from seclusion in this state.
Seeing this, Fu Xiao gritted his teeth. No matter what, he was the designated heir of the Fu family, yet the elders treated him this way. He never expected Fu Xunming to be so good; not only did he not die, but he was also living a prosperous life.
His initial actions were correct. As long as Fu Xun remained in the Fu family, he would never have a chance to rise in the world. Even if he were to return now, he wouldn't be so shameless as to completely break ties with the Fu family.
At that moment, a disciple outside announced, "Reporting to the patriarch, Young Master Fu, the Second Young Master Fu has arrived!"
The head of the Fu family paused. "He really is back. Quickly..." Then, remembering something, he put on airs and said unhurriedly, "Then please invite him in."
The Nascent Soul Elder perked up, his eyes gleaming; it was good that he was willing to return. Everyone assumed that Fu Xun accepted the invitation to ease tensions with his family.
Pity……
Fu Xun, exuding an overwhelming aura that suppressed everyone in the Fu family, stepped into the front hall with his hands behind his back. The hem of his deep red and black robe brushed against the threshold, and he stood tall and imposing in the center of the spacious hall.
"Gentlemen, it's been a long time."
His voice was low and flat, seemingly devoid of much emotion, but as he strode in with the overwhelming aura of a Divine Transformation cultivator, everyone knew it was a show of force.
The patriarch's composed demeanor instantly crumbled, and he forced out the words with difficulty, his old face contorted: "Hurry up and put away your arrogance!" His tone was indignant.
The head of the Fu family was only at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, and his cultivation had not progressed at all in decades. How could he withstand Fu Xun's pressure? Just one sentence was enough to exhaust his strength. Soon, sweat beaded on his forehead, and his body felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.
It would have been better if he hadn't said anything, because once he did, Fu Xun only increased his pressure. The head of the Fu family was forced to sit in his seat in an awkward and uncomfortable position, unable to move.
Fu Xiao's face was grim as he said with difficulty, "Fu Xun, how dare you disrespect your elders!"
Upon hearing this, Fu Xun suddenly burst into laughter: "Haha, what a joke! I have long been expelled from the Fu family and am not a member of the Fu family. How can you be disrespectful?"
He glanced around, then suddenly teleported behind Fu Xiao, gently pressing his hand on Fu Xiao's shoulder. Fu Xun's voice echoed throughout the hall: "Since everyone is here today, I'm not here for anything else, just to seek justice for my deceased parents and to personally kill my enemies."
"How about we let Young Master Fu tell the truth about what happened back then?"
Fu Xiao's face darkened further. Meeting his enemy filled him with boundless hatred. He cursed, "You piece of trash! I don't know what kind of luck you had to rise through the ranks! Bah! Who knows if it's because of your ex-fiancée who broke off your engagement... Ah!!"
Before he could finish cursing, Fu Xun suddenly struck him with a heavy blow, his spiritual energy shattering Fu Xiao's shoulder. Fu Xiao cried out in pain, instantly breaking out in a cold sweat.
"Enough! That's enough." The Nascent Soul Elder seemed to have finally had enough, or perhaps he thought that Fu Xun had vented his anger enough. With a wave of his hand, the old man eliminated the pressure emanating from Fu Xun. Upon testing it, he discovered that Fu Xun's pressure was extraordinary, and he was secretly shocked.
At the same time, the old man felt even more regretful. Such a good talent, and it was given away for nothing!
Judging from this, it's clear that the Fu family head and his group have offended someone badly. The old man asked, "You are a genius of our clan. How could we have possibly driven you out of the family back then? What exactly happened?"
Fu Xiao suddenly felt lighter and quickly circulated his spiritual energy to control his shoulder injury, then took a healing pill.
Fu Xun flicked his sleeves, but still did not withdraw his oppressive aura, and the Grand Elder did not exert any further pressure on the others.
"What exactly happened? You'd be better off asking Patriarch Fu and his good son. I'd also like to know why." Unfazed by the imposing presence of the Nascent Soul Elder, Fu Xun strolled leisurely around the hall.
Only then did I realize that the hall had changed its furnishings compared to back then, except for the plaque hanging in the hall that read "Greatness Lies in Tolerance".
The Nascent Soul Elder also realized that Fu Xun's visit today was probably not well-intentioned, and the conflict that occurred back then was not something that could be resolved.
After scanning the crowd, the elder focused his gaze on the head of the Fu family and waved his hand to remove the pressure from him. "Head of the family, why was Fu Xun expelled from the family back then? Didn't you say before that it was because of some misunderstanding?"
After catching his breath, the head of the Fu family coughed lightly and was about to speak when Fu Xiao shouted, "Father!"
Fu Xun frowned, but the Nascent Soul Elder spoke first: "Shut up! I didn't ask you to speak. Please tell the truth, Patriarch!"
The rest of the crowd fell silent. Fu Xiao gritted his teeth, feeling dissatisfied. The head of the Fu family said with a grim face, "These are all things of the past. Why bring them up again? We should all look forward."
Fu Xun's patience ran out. To expect them to evade the real issues and reveal the truth was utterly naive. He had hoped to see them fight like dogs, but he was greatly disappointed. His imposing voice boomed like thunder in everyone's ears:
"What a fine past! But I don't want to be in the past. What a hypocrite! If you want to know the truth, why go through all that trouble? Just search his soul."
After saying that, he teleported to Fu Xiao's side and raised his palm to strike his crown. The Nascent Soul Elder barely managed to block him and exclaimed in shock, "Wait! How did it come to the point of soul searching?"
