Chapter 2565: Chapter 2557: Visitors from the Yao Family
Wei Sancai didn’t keep Feng Jun and the others waiting long; he returned five days later—without using an anchor point.
Upon his return, she was surprised, "Oh, why are the three of you here?"
Feng Jun and Yi Jue were hesitant to speak, so Han Hai True Sage explained, "It’s that unresolved case."
"Have you found the result?" Wei Sancai rubbed his hands eagerly, "Then let’s go, I’ll lend a hand."
Han Hai True Sage stayed silent, and Feng Jun waited a moment before speaking, "Sancai True Sage, it’s not what you think, there’s more to it... First, did you find a suitable star system on your trip?"
"I did find one," Wei Sancai nodded, "I’ve already named it Sancai Star System, and the resources... are extraordinarily rich."
"It can’t be like this," Feng Jun raised a hand and slapped his forehead hard, "Are you planning... to work me to death?"
"I can wait on this side," Wei Sancai was also quite perceptive, though he was eager to secure the naming rights now, ultimately as a True Sage, his vision wasn’t so shortsighted, "Let’s handle the main business first."
"Let’s go to your place first," Feng Jun glanced at the two big bosses beside him, softly stating, "I don’t want to owe too many favors... the key is it relates to the Wei Family’s income."
"Income my foot," Wei Sancai snorted, "Insect World income is just so-so, better than nothing... Mountain Master Feng, I’m not criticizing you, but the gains here compared to the Void aren’t that great, you need to focus on the main points."
The Wei Family is extremely adept at "surviving," which is why their influence outside is minimal, but their ability to manage minor realms is admired by all minor realm families, and many feel they understand "where to focus."
So these words were not a lecture but rather telling Feng Jun—you need to know how to choose wisely.
The Wei Family rarely operates outside the minor realms, even when they do, it’s quietly; if there’s a loss, they accept it, if there’s a gain, they develop it quietly—if you want the family to last, you need to know how to endure.
The Xuanyuan Family was powerful, right? Now they’re down to two in the Out of Body stage; the Ancient Yao Family was powerful too, but they’re gone now!
The Wei Family indeed values the income from the Insect Race World; you must know, the Wei Family never initiates fights for resources, but the Insect Race World... they can intervene, which is quite a rare situation.
After all, it’s an unknown world, such a vast place, so many things to snatch—can’t everyone just snatch their own?
However, are the gains from the Insect Race World high? Really high, but... it depends on who you’re comparing it to.
Wei Sancai feels that this place is indeed nice, but if one can go treasure hunting in the Void, then this place can be completely discarded.
Okay, completely discarding it is a bit reluctant, handling both is the best, so his current priority is definitely to befriend Feng Jun, who can take people to the Insect Race World and the Void, serving him well can ensure profits in both directions.
It’s not without reason that outsiders think the Wei Family "knows how to choose wisely."
Feng Jun pondered and replied, "On this trip, I need to trouble Sancai Great Sage not just to help as a protector, but both Immortal Yi Jue and I need to conceal our aura to easily enter the Lingmu Sect-controlled sector."
Wei Sancai was taken aback by these words, and after a while, he asked, "You want the Wei Family to help conceal the aura?"
"That’s right," Feng Jun nodded when he heard that, "Is it inconvenient?"
Wei Sancai frowned, turned his head towards Han Hai True Sage, and pondered before asking, "Is this your suggestion?"
"Yes," Han Hai True Sage nodded decisively, "Many people are aware of your cooperation with the Yao Family."
"Impossible," Wei Sancai shook his head firmly, "it’s all rumors, the Wei Family doesn’t know anyone from the Yao Family, if you say so, show some evidence."
"I’m not interested in providing evidence," Han Hai True Sage also responded decisively, "I’m not the one needing your help."
"If it’s inconvenient for Sancai True Sage, so be it," Feng Jun smiled and shook his head, "I’ll ask someone else and see if there’s a way."
He truly disliked forcing others because he always remembered one thing—never become what you once despised.
As for finding "someone else," it definitely means asking other Great Sages, surely not all of them are bad at concealing aura, right?
Upon hearing this, Wei Sancai frowned again; of course, he couldn’t let Feng Jun do that, otherwise, wouldn’t he end up offending him completely?
So he glared at Han Hai fiercely, "Is revealing people’s privacy fun to you?"
"Watch your words!" Han Hai True Sage’s voice turned cold and sharp, "So many people already know, yet your family thinks it’s a secret... Obviously a frog in a well, yet you blame others?"
Wei Sancai glanced at Feng Jun first, apologetically speaking, "Mountain Master Feng, please hold on for a moment."
Then he looked at Han Hai True Sage and spoke sternly, "Friend Han Hai, if you can reveal the source of this information, I, Wei, though unworthy, will surely find a way to repay you."
"No need for repayment," replied Han Hai True Sage casually, "Two or three hundred years ago, your Wei Family was aggressively attacking the Heavenly Demons. You might think you hid it well, but many outside are aware of it. Someone curious took a closer look..."
Wei Sancai slightly paled, yet Han Hai continued nonchalantly, "Only then did I learn that your Wei Family Juniors concealed their presence exceptionally well. They marveled at how the Ancient Yao Family’s concealment technique truly is remarkable, even deceiving the Heavenly Demons."
"Turns out this matter slipped up!" Wei Sancai grudgingly clenched his teeth, "These unworthy descendants!"
Actually, he wasn’t too furious about the leak of the information; he was mostly concerned with how the other party got hold of it. Since it was due to his family’s mistake, there was no need to deny it.
He adjusted his mood, cupped his hands towards Han Hai True Sage, and said, "Thank you, friend, for revealing the truth. I was abrupt earlier and apologize here... May I know the friend who spied?"
"It’s inappropriate for me to say who," Han Hai True Sage replied, "I can only say it was a talkative fellow... I usually don’t like getting involved, but seeing Mountain Master Feng in need, I offered a suggestion."
Wei Sancai nodded, "I can roughly guess who it might be. Let it be exposed if it must be; what does it matter? Well then, Mountain Master Feng, why don’t we first go to the Sancai Star System to witness the naming, then proceed together to Tianqin? What do you think?"
The Sancai Star System isn’t far from the Luan Jiu Star, maybe five or six billion miles away. It’s not a large system — one star and four planets, with the second and third planets inhabited by the Insect Race.
Han Hai also brought Yuangang and Xuanhuang disciples over for a look, as witnesses. After viewing, he didn’t express anything, simply felt unimpressed — just seven or eight Nascent Souls, two or three thousand Golden Cores; such paltry ambition.
Wei Sancai, however, proudly stated, "Such a star system is perfect for my Wei Family juniors to practice. I intend to personally oversee once outside matters are settled."
Next, after finishing up the Insect World business, they arrived at Tianqin.
Naturally, Wei Sancai didn’t mind sharing with them: He wasn’t exactly sure where the Yao Family members were, but some lived permanently in the Wei Family Minor Realm and bought many necessities from there.
Wei Sancai believed the Yao Family likely had a secret realm, possibly with juniors under assumed names in Tianqin, though certainly not on a large scale.
Han Hai True Sage had some objections, thinking Wei Sancai could use certain means if he wanted to uncover their roots.
Wei Sancai retorted: Not that I enjoy tricking friends, but even if I wanted to, I’d consider the consequences — the Yao Family has True Sage members too!
This statement left Han Hai True Sage mildly surprised, and even Yi Jue couldn’t help but exclaim lightly, "Their family has True Sages?"
"Would I randomly claim such things?" Wei Sancai helplessly spread his hands, "Consider: no matter how much the Yao Family trusts the Wei Family, if we have True Sages and they don’t, how long can that trust withstand?"
These words silenced Feng Jun and the others. Cultivators may not all be opportunistic, but once statuses are unequal, mere sentimental bonds cannot withstand the wear of time.
Finally, Feng Jun spoke, "So, can Sancai True Sage persuade them to help?"
Wei Sancai nodded, "Should be possible, but I must return to the Minor Realm personally, along with protecting the person over."
He left for five days, then returned with an elder, possessing Nascent Soul High Stage cultivation, and a veiled female cultivator, at Nascent Soul Second Layer.
Wei Sancai first introduced Feng Jun and the others, then presented the newcomers, "This is Can Sheng True Immortal, and this is Qian Zhong True Immortal. The former excels in concealing auras, and the latter in illusions... They need to discuss fees with Mountain Master Feng."
"That’s fine," Feng Jun nodded, then furrowed his brow slightly, "Illusions... What does that mean?"
Neither True Immortal paid him any mind. The elder gazed intensely at Han Hai True Sage, "Great Sage Han Hai... Well met."
Han Hai True Sage glanced at him and nodded slightly, a rare gesture for him.
The female cultivator, meanwhile, looked at Yi Jue, "Immortal Yi Jue... your reputation precedes you, meeting exceeds the fame."
Yi Jue, however, retorted bluntly, "We have no interest in your origins; just name your price."
This was previously agreed upon, though aware they were Yao members, to spare Wei Sancai awkwardness, they pretended ignorance.
The female cultivator named Qian Zhong didn’t mind, instead turning to Feng Jun, "We’ve long heard of Mountain Master Feng’s name. It seems many have been offended by you."
"Being envied is a sign of competency," Feng Jun didn’t care if her words were sarcastic, directly stating, "Sancai True Sage must have conveyed our requirements; if convenient, both may set their price."
Qian Zhong True Immortal pondered for a moment, then spoke, "Rumor has it throughout Tianqin, Mountain Master Feng excels in deduction?"
"Yes," Feng Jun responded without hesitation, "Which aspect do you want deduced?"
