Chapter 1622: Chapter 1615: Neutral Attitude

After a moment of silence, he spoke again: "If you want to earn my trust, you need to show me results. Since you claim that my child can learn that what do you call it, magic, then prove it to me."

"We can teach your child magic, we have the most excellent mages..."

He paused, then continued: "However, correspondingly, I hope you can help us too."

"Help?"

"Yes," Cheng Ziang nodded, looked at Feng and said, "You are a powerful practitioner in the late stage of the Jiedan Realm, I hope you can guide her practice."

"Her..." Huayu Ting turned towards Feng, instinctively narrowing his eyes.

"She is self-taught, so there are many areas of shackles that need guidance from an expert," Cheng Ziang said.

"A lone practitioner?" Huayu Ting muttered to himself as he nodded.

"What do you think?" Cheng Ziang asked eagerly.

Actually, he had also just thought of this.

The deeper he delved into Kyushu, the more worrisome Feng’s combat ability became. Now she can rely on technological supremacy to maintain a gap, but this is not a long-term solution.

Since Feng’s practice system comes from the East Continent, why not leverage her own strengths and be strong when facing the strong?

"The extent to which you train my child, I will help her cultivate to that extent," Huayu Ting said.

"I can’t promise you that one hundred percent," Cheng Ziang said after thinking for a moment.

"Why?" Huayu Ting’s face darkened instantly.

"Even with magic, it depends on personal aptitude," Cheng Ziang explained, "Just like me, I am not suitable for learning magic."

"But don’t be discouraged, members of the Demon Clan can learn magic, that we can be sure of, one of our companions is of the Demon Clan, and she is also a master of magic," Cheng Ziang continued.

"Not this aptitude again..." Huayu Ting seemed not to like this term.

"No help for it, this kind of power is completely reliant on fate, human effort seems powerless in comparison," Cheng Ziang shrugged.

"However, you have three children, so I think the success rate should be higher regardless," Cheng Ziang continued.

"You help my children, I help your... companion, that’s reasonable, right?" Huayu Ting said.

"Mhmm, I also find it quite reasonable," Cheng Ziang nodded.

Actually, for Cheng Ziang to have Huayu Ting teaching Feng cultivation methods was merely icing on the cake because, with the current strength of the Advance Team, even if Feng made no progress, they would still get by.

But whenever there’s an opportunity, both Luo’er and Cheng Ziang would do their best to improve the individual strength of team members and ultimately strengthen the overall power of the Advance Team.

"Then, we’ll trouble everyone to stay in Bicheng Mansion for some time," Huayu Ting said.

"It is us who should say sorry for the intrusion," Cheng Ziang returned the courtesy.

"I am starting to like you people, at least you understand etiquette and benevolence," Huayu Ting revealed a faint smile as he spoke.

"Young Lord flatters us," Cheng Ziang replied.

"If you continue to head north, you must be wary of the Wen Family and the Wu Family, and not get involved in their struggles. It is of no benefit to you outsiders," Huayu Ting paused and then suddenly reminded.

"Isn’t the Young Lord part of the Wen Family?" Cheng Ziang asked, somewhat surprised.

"No, I am from the Huayu Family," Huayu Ting shook his head as he said.

"Understood," Cheng Ziang nodded.

Clearly, the Huayu Family does not belong to either the Wen Family or the Wu Family, but is an independent third party.

Hua State is located at the edge of Kyushu, bordering Fengyu, which is one of the reasons why the Huayu Family dares to stand as an independent third power.

From the current situation, although the Wen Family and the Wu Family are covertly clashing, on the surface things still seem peaceful, and it’s not clear who has the upper hand.

It is precisely because of this that many noble families hold a wait-and-see attitude. For them, they will join whichever side wins.

In fact, the Wen Family has merely achieved some cultural and social accomplishments. In other respects, such as the military and politics, these areas are still under the control of the Wu Family. This is also the reason why the noble families maintain a wait-and-see approach.

Of course, not all noble families adopt a wait-and-see attitude, the closer to the north, the closer to the Shengyuan Prefecture, the more resolute the attitude of the noble families becomes.

Information known so far has confirmed that the Yichuan Clan from Yin State has joined the Wen Family and even became one of the main leaders of the Wen Family.

The larger the size of the clan, the more serious the internal division becomes. Some clans have started to face a standoff between the scholarly and the martial factions within; some of the younger clan members have chosen to join the Wen Family while others have opted for the Wu Family, leading to a chaotic situation.

"But, no matter what lies ahead, the Huayu Family will always have its doors wide open, welcoming everyone’s return," Huayu Ting added.

"I am honored," Cheng Ziang replied with a salute.

After resolving Huayu Ling’s issue, Cheng Ziang and Feng returned satisfied. With their interference, it’s unlikely that Huayu Ling would be dealt with by Huayu Ting, but her future is a cause for concern, yet this is no longer Cheng Ziang’s problem to consider.

As agreed, at noon the next day, Cheng Ziang, along with Tangmo and Baiyue, led by Huayu Ting, once again arrived at the villa halfway up the mountain.

There were still no mansion soldiers deployed at the entrance, but Cheng Ziang could clearly sense someone was watching him, likely the Shadow Guards of Huayu Ting.

Pushing the door open and entering the courtyard, Cheng Ziang saw Huayu Ting’s three children chasing each other happily, shouting out in delight. Fei Yu, on the side, frowned trying to calm the lively children.

"Ah!!" Seeing a group of people push the door and enter, the three children shouted excitedly, running towards them with their short little legs and eventually surrounding Huayu Ting.

"Daddy, Daddy!" The three children jumped around Huayu Ting, hoping to be embraced by their father.

In the face of this, Huayu Ting showed a gentle smile and squatted down to interact with the children.

This contrast was quite significant, so Cheng Ziang and the two girls were somewhat surprised by it.

In their eyes, Huayu Ting was an immensely powerful Jiedan Realm master, a merciless character who bloodily turned on his kin, the unsmiling Patriarch of the Huayu Family.

Yet in front of his children, he showed the patience and smile that a father should possess. That smile came from the heart, and whenever he saw his children, Huayu Ting’s smile would radiate from the inside out.

It turns out that the contradictions of human nature can really be that great, that obvious. Although he was such a cruel man, his smile was as gentle as a warm breeze.

"Daddy, Daddy, will you come back tonight?" Huayu Luo asked jumping up and down.

"Do you really want me to?" Huayu Ting tilted his head and asked.

"Yes, we do! We do!!" The three children jumped again, expressing their purest emotions.

"Then Daddy will stay here tonight, okay?" Huayu Ting said with a smile.

"Daddy, can I go out and have a look?" Huayu Die asked excitedly.

"Not yet, you need to stay here and be good. No one will come to bully you again," Huayu Ting said as he touched her little head.

"Can Daddy come every day from now on?" Huayu Yang asked with blinking eyes.

"Of course!" Huayu Ting nodded gently.

"That’s great!" The three children cheered again.

"I am sorry, my lord," Fei Yu ran up to Huayu Ting, out of breath and with an apologetic face, "The children wouldn’t listen no matter what I said, I will get them to lower their voices."

"No need," Huayu Ting stood up, reached out to wipe the sweat from Fei Yu’s face and smiled, "From now on, the children can make as much noise as they want; no one can threaten us anymore."

After a pause, he sobered and said, "What you truly need to apologize for is neglecting our guests."

"Ah," upon hearing this, Fei Yu was startled, hastily looking towards Cheng Ziang and the others, and bowing in guilt she said, "I’m so sorry, welcome to our humble abode, esteemed Manor Lords."

"Madam is too courteous," Cheng Ziang said, bowing as he picked up the approaching Huayu Die and held her in his arms.

"These three guests are here to help our children," Huayu Ting explained.

"Is that so, thank you, thank you, Manor Lords," upon hearing this, Fei Yu showed delight and hurriedly bowed again in gratitude.

"Madam need not be so formal; we received help from the Young Lord in a time of crisis, this was also our sincerity, no need for Madam to mention it," said Cheng Ziang while fondling Huayu Die’s fluffy ears.
