C935 Two Bloodlines
"My lord, what shall I do?"
Dao Chengzi ordered everyone to leave. Only the three Grand Elders and Lin Feng were left in the hall. Lin Feng sat on the high seat. Dao Chengzi lowered his head slightly with a gloomy face and asked Lin Feng about the punishment for his old servant.
Lin Feng did not know much about this old servant, nor did he know much about the three Grand Elders. He did not even know much about the Heavenly Dao Court, so Lin Feng would not be used by anyone, nor would he be controlled by anyone.
Therefore, when Dao Chengzi asked him, Lin Feng was a little vigilant and cautious in his heart. He had only known this old servant for half a month, but he had only known the three Grand Elders for a few hours. It was impossible for him to trust anyone.
Lin Feng would not make any decisions so easily. Moreover, this old servant was not a nobody. He was a super expert at the fifth level of Divine Monarch. How could he be dealt with so easily?
Lin Feng himself did not know what the three Grand Elders were planning, so he would not make a decision.
"Let's put this old servant's matter aside for now. Grand Elders, you can leave first. I'm a little tired, so I need to rest for a while." Lin Feng raised his head and looked at the three Grand Elders. His tone was calm.
Hearing that, the three old men bowed slightly and nodded, then slowly retreated. As they left, Dao Chengzi's eyes were slightly disappointed and unwilling.
The three Grand Elders walked out of the hall, leaving Lin Feng alone. Lin Feng fell into silence, deep in thought.
At this moment, outside...
"Tao Chengzi, you must have urged me to punish you in front of Lin Feng, right?" The old servant stared coldly at Dao Chengzi, his tone full of disdain.
Dao Chengzi's eyes were also extremely gloomy. He stared coldly at the old servant and sneered: "Since you know this, why are you still waiting for us?"
"Hehe, I just want to tell you that you guys think too simply of Lin Feng. He doesn't take the hard way, nor does he take the soft way."
"I want to use him as a gun, but don't you guys want to control him as a gun too? Hehe, we underestimated him. This master is not that simple. Otherwise, he wouldn't have rejected your proposal to deal with me.
The old slave smiled as a playful smile appeared on his face. After that, he shook his head as if he was sighing with emotion. He didn't know whether it was because of himself or because of the three Grand Elders.
After hearing the old servant's words, the three elders all fell silent. They also understood this problem. Lin Feng would not be swayed by force or persuasion.
"Haha, what's wrong? Do you think you have met your match?" The old servant couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw the depressed expressions on the faces of the three old men. It was as if he wanted to see the three of them make a fool of themselves.
Chengzi's face darkened. He frowned and shouted in a deep voice, "You should still care about yourself. You have already angered him. At the very least, we didn't. You will die miserably."
With that, Dao Chengzi waved his hand, and the other two old men continued to walk towards the back of the hall. Soon, the three old men disappeared from the front of the hall, leaving only the old servant with a gloomy face.
What they said was true. His old servant would only die worse than them, because he was openly making things difficult for Lin Feng. The three old men were very smart. If they really couldn't control Lin Feng, they would obey him. In any case, it would not cause any harm to their sect.
But if it did not harm the Tao, then it would harm his Tian. He could not watch as the Tian family was suppressed by the three old geezers, Tao Chengzi. The once glorious Tian family could not fall like this.
The old servant took a deep breath and made a decision he would never have made in his life, but now he had to make a decision for his family, and that was to apologize!
Apologize to Lin Feng. If the three Grand Elders did not appear, this old servant would risk everything and kill Lin Feng. He would control the Heavenly Dao Court.
Now that the three of them had returned, they had to change their strategys. It was even possible for them to temporarily listen to Lin Feng's orders for the sake of the three old men.
As the old servant thought about this, he quickly walked into the hall. Lin Feng was sitting on the high seat and closing his eyes to rest. The old servant stood in the middle of the hall. Before he could speak, Lin Feng opened his eyes and smiled at the latter as he said, "You came so quickly. I thought you would wait until late at night."
Lin Feng laughed and looked at the old servant in front of him with a playful gaze. The old servant's arm was fine except for the clotted blood on his robe.
When the old servant heard Lin Feng's words, he was stunned for a moment and then his heart trembled. He could not believe that Lin Feng had actually guessed that he would come looking for him.
The more I thought about it, the more regretful I became. Why was I in such a hurry to expose my true self? If I could gain Lin Feng's trust first and then control Lin Feng, it would be so much better. Why would I do such a superfluous thing and cause such a complicated and contradictory relationship?
"Master, I was wrong." The old servant let out a low shout, then bent his body heavily, lowered his proud head, and earnestly admitted his mistake to Lin Feng.
The corner of Lin Feng's mouth curved into a smile. The old servant's actions were all within his consideration. If he did not apologize, it would be abnormal.
However, apologizing was one thing, accepting an apology was another.0
"Old servant, I'm afraid you have a purpose for apologizing this time, right?" Lin Feng asked the old servant straightforwardly. He placed some of the lowest quality items on the table and explained. This was because Lin Feng needed to understand the entire Heavenly Dao Court in all aspects. Otherwise, he would not feel at ease being the owner of the Heavenly Dao Court.
A master who could not fully control the clan was undoubtedly a failure. Lin Feng had never failed in these matters before, so it was the same this time.
"Master, I don't understand what you mean." Although the old servant's expression changed greatly, he endured the anxiety in his heart and shook his head, not admitting his goal.
Hearing this, the corner of Lin Feng's mouth curled into a smile as he said indifferently, "Since that's the case, you can leave now."
"I..." The old servant's face became more and more anxious, but he really did not want to tell Lin Feng the deepest secret. If he told Lin Feng, it would be equivalent to him losing everything. From then on, he could only be dragged along by Lin Feng.
But if he didn't say this, Lin Feng wouldn't accept his apology. Then in the future, there was a high chance that they would get close to each other, which would make things even more difficult.
The old servant fell into a struggle of thoughts, and his face became extremely gloomy.
Lin Feng was not in a hurry and just waited for this old servant to make a decision. But Lin Feng was confident that this old servant would say it, because from the moment he entered this threshold, it meant that this old servant had lost to him in all aspects. Whether it was in terms of martial strength, strategy, or mental quality, he was stronger than this old servant.
Even though this old servant had a fifth level of Divine Monarch, it was meaningless now. Unless this old servant was prepared to fight to the death.
Time passed, and soon the sun was setting. In the distance, the sky was half red with red light, and in the west, there were stars, and there were signs of black devouring everything.
Lin Feng looked at the sky and knew that there should be a result soon.
Sure enough, just as Lin Feng retracted his gaze, the old servant finally reacted. He raised his head and looked at Lin Feng cautiously and solemnly, and then shouted in a deep voice, "Heavenly Dao Court is divided into two branches. These two branches belonged to the same branch a million years ago, and the ancestors of both branches were passed down to the old ancestor."
"But since the death of my forefathers, I, the old servant, had intended to continue to serve my next master with all my heart, but there was a disagreement at this time."
"After that, the so-called two branches appeared, which are the first branch of the heavens and the first branch of the Dao. The only son that I support is the young master, and the three Grand Elders, Dao Chengzi, Dao Fuzi, and Dao Xuanzi, are the young geniuses that support the old ancestor's selection. They are also the master."
"And so the two bloodlines were formed, but in the end it was our first bloodline that won, and the son of the old ancestor, the young master, became the second Courtmaster."
"Because the young master became the master of the courtyard, it caused the entire Dao branch to collapse. In the end, even the three great elders, Dao Chengzi and the other two, were not yet grand elders at that time. The three elders used the reason that they were unwell to leave the center of power, and did not assist the new master."
"This is the burden that was entrusted to me. I assisted him for three hundred thousand years. The young master went berserk during a cultivation session and died before he could break through to the third level of Divine Monarch."
"The young master is dead, and the opportunity to become the master of the Dao has arrived. Dao Chengzi encouraged many disciples to support the young talent chosen by the old ancestor as the master of the courtyard, because the young talent represented the interests of the entire disciple, so he took the position and became the new master of the courtyard."
"It was at that time that I was called an old servant. Hehe, don't doubt it, that's indeed the case. The new Court Master appointed me as the manager of the Heavenly Dao Court, hehe, in reality, I am a servant."
"So from that time on I was called an old servant by everyone, and a few days ago you called me an old servant, and I thought of what happened that year, so I wanted to kill you with one blow, and then I played with you in the dark."
As the old servant spoke, he looked at Lin Feng seriously. Everything he said was the truth.
When Lin Feng heard this, his expression changed slightly. So this was how this old servant got his title. He wasn't a servant from the very beginning.
But if that was the case, then the Dao branch would not be so simple. The three Grand Elders probably wanted to control him the same way as the old servant before, but they chose different methods.
But they were generally the same.
