C963 Meeting the Saintess(1)
C963 Meeting the Saintess(1)
" Mr. Fann, just as you said, I have also considered it. But I quickly rejected this possibility. " The Great Elder smiled faintly and said, "First of all, my daughter is saintess. As saintess, how could she possibly like ordinary clansmen? And you are different. You came from outside the mountain, and you are also the owner of the Phoenix Jade. This has already raised your status by a lot."
"Not to mention, my daughter has always been interested in the world outside the mountain. The few books in the Ancestral Shrine that described the outside world also fascinated her, so to her, you are filled with mystery and temptation. As for why I didn't kill you to silence you and steal Feng Yu, I feel that there is no need at all. Since you all came from outside the mountain, you naturally have to return to the outside. Since you won't stay in the Five Dragons Clan forever... Why should I do something unnecessary to seize my and my son's future power? If I don't kill you, it might change my daughter's life. Why not?"
Fann Binn couldn't help but joke, "The Great Elder is a smart man. It's a pity that he doesn't want to do business. Of course, since ancient times, everyone loved beauty. It wasn't strange for men to like beautiful women. In order to not bear to see saintess die of loneliness, I can go and try. But as for whether I succeed or not, I have no confidence."
" Great Elder, please rest assured. Yang Li and I have no intention of staying any longer. We have been missing for the past few days. The relatives outside must have been extremely anxious. As long as you allow us to, we naturally want to leave this place as soon as possible. I will stay behind and gift you and your son the Phoenix Jade. This way, your son will become the patriarch of Five Dragons Clan. I can also return your favor. What do you think? "
"Good, good!" The Great Elder let out a satisfied laugh and patted Fann Binn's shoulder. "I told you that I didn't see the wrong person. Mr. Fann is really smart. It made sense with just one point. Don't worry. Regardless of whether you are related to saintess or not, you will always be the most distinguished guest of Five Dragons Clan! "
" With your words, I am also happy. " Fann Binn replied the Great Elder with a smile. He knew very well that in a place he was unfamiliar with, he didn't know what ambitions the Great Elder had. Putting aside the fact that he had saved his life, it was better to have one more friend than one more enemy. Wasn't that so? Feng Yu was bought with money. If you want to give it to me, just give it to me. If he could save his life and go back safely, he would find Yang Yuyan to settle the score with Jie Dong. Better than anything!
Along the way, they chatted as they walked. Fann Binn had basically understood what the Great Elder was thinking. It was no wonder that he was thinking about his son's next generation. Furthermore, as the Great Elder, he was in charge of all the big and small things in the clan. He was the father of all the people in power. It wasn't a bad choice for the Five Dragons Clan.
After passing through the ancestral hall, they arrived at the outer perimeter of the castle, which was located at the highest point of the ancient city. Fann Binn and the Great Elder only entered the magnificent palace after being inspected by the guards. They heard from the Great Elder that the doctrine of Five Dragons Clan was very strange. Only saintess could live in such a palace, while the patriarch had to live in the family. There was no such luxury. It was no wonder saintess felt that she was high and mighty. She would rather die alone than live with mud legs.
Entering the marble paved hall, the Great Elder had to be stopped by the guards. Fann Binn, on the other hand, was allowed to pass because of the jade pendant. He walked along the spacious main road towards the depths of the palace.
On both sides of the road, there were many ancient works of art. Sometimes Fann Binn felt that it was unbelievable. In such a remote mountain, furthermore, it was in the deep valley of the mountain. How did the Five Dragons Clan manage to obtain these precious cultural relics? Some of them could even be traced back to the dynasty hundreds of years ago. It was truly unbelievable.
However, curiosity was curiosity. Since the truth had already appeared in front of him... Naturally, there was a set of methods by the Five Dragons Clan itself. Even if Fann Binn racked his brain, he still couldn't figure it out. However, these cultural relics actually existed in the real world. They were all real. Since there was already a result, why would he need to think about it? It wasn't that he was looking for trouble.
The deeper he went into the corridor of the palace, the more deserted Fann Binn felt. Furthermore, it was filled with loneliness and loneliness. At this moment, besides feeling warmth from the candles on both sides, he was surrounded by dead things. It was so cold that he didn't even have a follower or guard. He really did not expect that the place where saintess really lived... It was actually so cold.
But thinking about it, it made sense. saintess was a symbol of nobility and purity. She was as pure as ice and jade. Naturally, she would not have too much contact with mortals. That was why it was said that feudal thinking, demons, and devils did not harm people very much...
"Stop!" Just as Fann Binn was about to walk forward, a pleasant female voice suddenly sounded in the spacious and luxurious corridor. Fann Binn was obviously stunned as he looked at the slightly dark area in front of him. He saw two masked girls wearing white and red light muslin dresses slowly walking out of the darkness with swords in their hands. Two pairs of big eyes looked at Fann Binn from head to toe.
"Two beautiful girls, please let us know. Tell them that Fann Binn, an outsider, has come to pay his respects to saintess." Fann Binn seemed very respectful. What a joke! If he didn't pretend to be a grandson in someone else's territory, wouldn't he be asking for a beating? Furthermore, there was no shame in flattering the two beautiful masked girls. One had to admit that the servant girl beside saintess naturally had a good figure. Although her face was covered, one didn't need to guess to know. Her looks were definitely first-class too.
"So you are the one who came from the outside world... the one with the poisonous Phoenix Jade?" The two maids seemed to have thought of something. Their eyes carefully sized Fann Binn up a few times and their tone was much more relaxed.
"Yes, yes, I am. My two little sisters, where is saintess?" Fann Binn teased them with a smile.
"Who is your little sister? She speaks without any restraint, hmph!" When they heard Fann Binn's frivolous words, the two girls immediately revealed a shy and angry look in their eyes. They said unhappily, "Come with us. saintess is resting in the private room."
"Okay, okay." Fann Binn nodded repeatedly and smiled as he followed the two maids of saintess forward. When he thought of saintess who he was about to meet, he could not help but feel complicated. You said that saintess's father had already begged him to take her daughter away, then if he did not do so... Wouldn't it be a little too much to let down that Great Elder? Look at this mess. He just said that surviving a great disaster was bound to bring fortune to the future. Hehe. First, there was Yang Li, and then there was the Five Dragons Clan's saintess. It seemed that this blessing was really a blessing in love, and it was really not shallow at all!
Following the lead of the two maidservants, Fann Binn followed the graceful footsteps of the two girls into the hall. The reason why it was called a hall was probably because saintess received important guests. As soon as he entered the private hall, Fann Binn was completely attracted by the colorful hall in front of him.
In the end, it was the palace where the girls lived. This private hall was filled with colorful flowers. There were pink muslin curtains and fiery red wool carpet everywhere. The surrounding pillars were also smeared with a blue-green color. Even on the large wall of the side hall, there was a fiery red Divine Bird Phoenix hanging from it. Everything here gave off a kind of gentle beauty.
"This is the private hall that saintess often rest in. Usually, she has never received outsiders. Mr. Fann, you are really full of happiness to be the first person to enter this private room." One of the maidservants turned her head and smiled as she explained to Fann Binn. After a while, her expression became somewhat serious as she said. "Saintess is resting on the dragon and phoenix chair in front of us. I am warning you. saintess was as pure as ice. Don't make that kind of joke just now. Otherwise, it would anger her. Be careful of punishing you. "
" Thank you for your guidance and teachings, sister. " Fann Binn smiled and bowed to thank her.
"Don't be shy if you have a sister on your left and a sister on your right. Why are all the people in the outside world as glib as you? " The servant girl gave Fann Binn a shy look and said, "Your words are so frivolous. When we see saintess later, we'll see how she will deal with you!"
"Uh..." Fann Binn was just about to explain when the two girls did not even look at him. They directly walked into the hall with a pearl curtain hanging in it.
When Fann Binn followed the maidservants and lifted the pearl curtain, he found that there were two maidservants in the inner hall. In the middle of the hall was a long mahogany chair made of dragon and phoenix wood. On the side of the chair, there was a bright and beautiful girl wearing a pink chiffon dress. Her hair was tied up with many jade hairpins, and her figure was pretty. She was lying on the chair and resting quietly. It was obvious without a question that she looked incomparably quiet. The woman who exuded a noble aura was undoubtedly saintess of the Five Dragons Clan. The daughter of the Great Elder.
"Little Yu, Yu greets saintess. The outsider, Fann Binn, has arrived at the Great Elder's invitation. We, the two of us, will bring him here for an audience." The two maids knelt on one knee and spoke softly with respect.
The beauty who was lying on the mahogany bench opened her eyes at this moment. When she saw Fann Binn standing not far away, she looked at him with a faint look. Then, she sat up with the support of the maidservants beside her.
"An outsider, Fann Binn, greets saintess. Thank you for saving my life." Fann Binn bowed and thanked saintess, "The Great Elder said that you wanted to meet me, so I came."
After saintess heard Fann Binn's words, she looked around and said, "All of you can withdraw."
"Yes, saintess..." The four maidservants respectfully bowed and left quietly. Soon, only Fann Binn and saintess were left in the hall.
"Do you know that those who have the Phoenix Jade can use the power of the clan leader in the clan? Those who face me face to face and do not have any direct communication with me? " saintess's Mandarin was very standard and her voice was fresh and sweet. It was just like drinking iced Sprite in summer, and it made people feel very cool.
"On the way here just now, the Great Elder already told me." Fann Binn wasn't immersed in the refreshing voice and couldn't get out of it. He hurriedly replied. “ I bought this piece of phoenix jade from an antique store outside. I just thought it looked good. That's why I bought it. I didn't know it was a token from the patriarch of Five Dragons Clan. It was really a coincidence. It actually had a great effect. It saved my life."
"Yeah, if it wasn't for this Phoenix Jade, I wouldn't have used my clan's treasure, the Myriad Spirit Pill, to save you." saintess slowly stood up from the bench and walked towards Fann Binn with graceful steps. She smiled and said, "It has only been a few days, and you have already recovered from your dying and sickly state. It is all thanks to the panacea of our clan that you have become so energetic. You... What do you plan to do in the future? Do you want to stay in the Five Dragons Clan as the patriarch or go back to the outside world?"
