The Way of The Dao



"Also, I don't know why but I feel that Ling Tian might have more than one woman..."

Moments later, Feng Zhiyun pursed her lips as she recalled the feeling in her heart. Her intuition told her that it was far from simple.

Li Fengyuan was surprised to hear for the first time what Feng Zhiyun had said. Suddenly, something seemed to take on meaning inside her.

Yes!

Could it be that Ling Tian had more than one woman?

After all, with his bearing and demeanor, as well as his face of charm and perfect youth, wouldn't there be many women lining up at his door?

That would make sense!

Just as many men might pursue the most beautiful woman in the world for her incredible beauty, women might fight to be the wife of the most handsome, perfect and above all very powerful young man!

"I-I don't think so..." Li Fengyuan hesitated for a moment before adding, "If Master said he had a wife, then he only has one wife." Her voice became weaker at the end, finding that hard to believe.

"Mhnmm~ maybe... or he might have only said it on the spur of the moment to get away from me?" Feng Zhiyun smiled helplessly. She remembered that Ling Tian's expression was slightly distracted at that moment, so she seized the opportunity to kiss him.

"Most likely, his wife must be a great beauty, or at least be too stunning to be able to attract Master's attention. After all, Master is the most handsome man I've ever seen..." Li Fengyuan whispered briefly, not realizing that her cheeks had flushed slightly.

Li Fengyuan wondered what this woman might look like, could she be a great beauty? Or could she be a woman with normal beauty? If Ling Tian is an extremely handsome man, then his wife should be a perfect great beauty as well...

Feng Zhiyun discreetly observed Li Fengyuan, noticing the slight blush on her face, smiling slightly with interest. Perhaps Li Fengyuan hasn't noticed, but she is undoubtedly an incredible beauty too. Besides, Li Fengyuan is that kind of woman who doesn't realize her feelings until some time later.

Feng Zhiyun even had a bold and somewhat whimsical thought; once she became Ling Tian's wife, maybe she could help Li Fengyuan in becoming Ling Tian's next wife, that way, they would be like true sisters!

After interacting closely for a period of time, Feng Zhiyuan regarded Li Fengyuan as a great friend and younger sister, whom she really liked to tease.

"Young lady Feng. Miss Li."

At once, a feeling of winter-like coldness slightly filled the place when a charming and tender silhouette suddenly entered. Her white dress had lace and similar patterned designs on both sides, as if it was a special kind of uniform. In her hands she carried a tray containing two cups of tea and a teapot.

"Ji'er! You're here!"

Feng Zhiyun smiled as she saw Di Ji walk in.

"Sister Ji!" Even Li Fengyuan couldn't help but smile upon seeing her.

Although Di Ji's appearance had become much colder, she also became refined, very elegant, noble and graceful due to the Three Winters Heavenly Pill!

Di Ji had become a little indifferent and cold to the naked eye, but she would still show some smiles and calmness when talking to her, except for Ling Tian apparently. The time she refined the pill completely, the effect could not stop the old, shy, timid, cheerful and somewhat childish personality when being with Ling Tian, as if the effects of the pill did not work on her being with him.

Delicate eyelashes trembled slightly as Di Ji nodded softly with a faint smile as she listened to Feng Zhiyun and Li Fengyuan. She gently placed the tray containing the tea on the delicate little table where Feng Zhiyun was sitting. Li Fengyuan also came over and took a cup of tea just like Feng Zhiyun and drank slowly.

"Little Sister Ji'er, I already told you that you don't have to do this. That's what the other fellow maidservants are for! You can cultivate peacefully! Your parents don't have to be servants anymore either!"

Feng Zhiyun looked at the tea tray seconds later and turned to look at Di Ji seemingly scolding her, but without raising her voice in a punishing tone, simply reminding her of what she had told her many times. Even Li Fengyuan nodded at what Feng Zhiyun said without hesitation.

Although Di Ji rarely addresses the two of them more closely when they were alone, Di Ji is with them practically and she is not a member of the Feng family, let alone part of the servants!

Since they had returned from the mysterious realm and Di Ji having refined the pill to increase her cultivation talent, both Di Ji and her parents continued to behave like servants, trying to serve the Feng family all this time. Although Feng Ye had clearly told Di Ji and her family that there was no need to do such things, especially because of Ling Tian's great favor and saving grace towards them, both Di Ji and her parents refused and said that it was the least they could do since they had to pay to be able to live here. They did not want to live for free from them, especially since they had to wait for Ling Tian.

But even though even Feng Zhiyun and Li Fengyuan told her many times, Di Ji still refused and said the same answer.

"I am the young master's personal maidservant, and as long as he is not here, Di Ji has a lot to learn so as not to disappoint him. I cannot be idle while waiting for his return."

Di Ji responded to Feng Zhiyun's words with a slight smile, bowing her head and adopting the demeanor of a true maid. Her personality had even become a bit more low-key and reserved to her previous personality. But one could still find kindness, gentleness and a wonderful twinkle in her eyes from time to time.

And yet, surprisingly Di Ji did not neglect her cultivation and every day she devoted part of it to cultivate herself completely. Her cultivation base was even half a step from breaking into the Nascent Soul realm!

Feng Zhiyun's lips pursed slightly at Di Ji's reply. Feng Zhiyun wanted Di Ji to see her as a sister too!

After all, the better she got along with Di Ji and Li Fengyuan, the more chances Feng Zhiyun would have to get along better with Ling Tian as well!

"At least Sister Ji is self-conscious and reserved, unlike other cheeky people..."

Suddenly, Li Fengyuan lifted the corner of her lips. A malicious and teasing tinge crossed her expression as she looked at Feng Zhiyun.

Feng Zhiyun was momentarily stunned before she grinned fiercely and said, "I hope that when I become your Mistress, you can still mock me, fufu~" She laughed lightly as if she had the ultimate reason.

Li Fengyuan gritted her teeth and looked at her firmly and competitively. She couldn't let this woman become Ling Tian's wife!

A feeling of rivalry and tension was felt in the place. Feng Zhiyun and Li Fengyuan's auras collided silently, as if declaring their own words to be absolute truths.

"S-sister Zhiyun, the patriarch has asked me to come to see you because he has something to discuss with you."

Before the atmosphere became more aggravated, Di Ji turned to Feng Zhiyun and spoke with a little more confidence. Also, Di Ji had already gotten used to this kind of quarrel between these two women.

"Huh? My father wants to see me?" Feng Zhiyun frowned as she listened to Di Ji. Her aura silently withdrew as did Li Fengyuan's.

"Sister Fengyuan, Patriarch Feng also wishes for you to attend." Di Ji looked at Li Fengyuan.

"Me?" Li Fengyuan couldn't help but blink in surprise. This was the first time the patriarch had called her.

During all this time, Li Fengyuan never experienced shortage of food, comforts and even cultivation resources that would be delivered sometimes by the family's ancestor Feng Ye himself. Obviously all this kind of special treatment was due by Ling Tian. Therefore, Li Fengyuan had been surprised that she was summoned by the patriarch himself.

"Um. The patriarch requested that you go to the main hall. Ancestor Feng Ye was also with him." Di Ji added shortly.

"Even my grandfather..." Feng Zhiyun was surprised to hear that Feng Ye wanted to see her as well.

"Then let's go."

Li Fengyuan didn't wait any longer and started heading to the Main Hall. She quickly took Di Ji's tender little hand, leaving Feng Zhiyun behind. Di Ji is her closest female friend in this place, especially since they were both related to Ling Tian and knew each other from the beginning, therefore they got along better.

"Don't leave me~" Feng Zhiyun lightly called out behind Li Fengyuan and Di Ji as she laughed in amusement seeing Li Fengyuan's behavior.
