"Are you Cao Tianlin, the patriarch of the Cao clan and the former general of the Ming Dynasty?"
Fei Ren narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw the person revealing his identity.
Although the other party came from the royal family like Cao Rui, the status gap between the two was very different. The former was only the prince, while Cao Tianlin in front of him was the current leader of the Ming Dynasty.
In his early years, when Fei Renshang was training in the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm, he had conflicts with Ye Jinglei and others, direct descendants of the Ye family. At that time, Cao Tianlin and others had not yet ascended to the throne, and were only close subordinates of Ye Aolong, the head of the Ye family. Ranked among the generals of the country.
Unexpectedly, a few years later, the former Ye family had been wiped out, and Cao Tianlin, who had worked for Ye Aolong and others, could counterattack and successfully ascend to the top of the Ming Dynasty.
"These are just events from the past. Compared with your deeds, Fei Shaoxia, they are really nothing..."
Cao Tianlin bowed his hand again, his words still full of politeness, which also surprised many guests present.
You know, in the past when the Ye family was weak, the other party, the former general of the country, was merciless. He killed all the children of the Ye family without leaving a single one alive! Even ordinary Ye family servants with no cultivation talent are no exception.
According to rumors, in order to wipe out the remnants of the Ye clan and consolidate his throne, Cao Tianlin took at least hundreds of thousands of lives! Corpses piled up like mountains, and blood stained the entire Ming Imperial City!
And many of his methods are aimed at overthrowing the rule of the Ye family and ascending to the supreme position.
For Cao Tianlin, a wily and decisive tycoon, it was hard for everyone to imagine that he would be respectful and chatting and laughing in front of a young junior, just like a harmless old man.
"oh?"
Facing Cao Tianlin's compliments, Fei Ren did not get carried away, but remained alert, "Cao Tianlin, you and I are both sensible people, why bother trying to be mysterious here..."
"If you have anything to say, you can say it directly without wasting any words."
Regarding Cao Tianlin's sudden visit, Fei Ren personally felt that it was not a good thing. After all, he had killed many masters of the Cao family and injured Cao Bao and Prince Cao Rui.
With Cao Tianlin's character, a majestic hero in troubled times, he wouldn't take the initiative to surrender and seek peace, would he?
However, Fei Ren's judgment rarely went wrong.
Just when he was confused, Cao Tianlin grinned again with a mysterious smile, "It seems that Fei Shaoxia is still hostile to Cao... But this is normal. Dogs have eyes before. I don’t know Taishan, and I have offended the young hero and your wife. This matter is due to Cao’s lax discipline.”
"It's just that Cao came here today not for revenge, but for the sake of friendship between the two families."
After saying this, Cao Tianlin stroked his long beard again and paused deliberately, "In addition... Cao also has a rare treasure in his hand that is rare to see in a hundred years. The mystery of this treasure has not yet been fully understood by Cao. But with your vision, young hero, you should be able to figure it out..."
After the words fell, the other party took out a piece of exquisite yellow silk and satin from the sleeve robe. I saw that the silk and satin was embroidered with a mighty and domineering yellow dragon. The whole body was tightly wrapped, only a little bit of blue and white light was exposed, and the true appearance was revealed. It's hard to see, but it seems to contain some kind of spiritual stone treasure.
"Is this guy really here to seek peace?"
"Cao Tianlin and Fei Ren are actually calling themselves brothers, and they even bowed their heads on their own initiative!"
"Damn it, I'm not blind! The current leader of the country, Cao Tianlin, who kills without blinking an eye, can show such a humble attitude!"
Seeing this scene, not only Fei Ren and Xiao Nicole who were standing next to him, but also Xiao Hong, who had just been promoted to father-in-law at the head of the White Tiger Hall, was stunned and still a little unbelievable.
"Cao Tianlin, is it possible that he also likes my precious son-in-law?"
"I heard that in addition to the eldest princess of the Cao family who died at the hands of the flower-picking snitch, there are also many young, beautiful and talented girls in the Cao family who are waiting to be married. This old guy's idea is really a thief...!"
As if he suddenly thought of something, Xiao Hong's face froze, and the next moment he looked at Fei Ren with a strange look in his eyes, "No, no, no! How can I let this guy take away the golden turtle son-in-law I finally found..." !”
"Nicole, my precious daughter, you have to work hard to let Fei Ren leave more blood for our Xiao family, so that our Xiao family will definitely prosper...!"
Thinking of this, Xiao Hong's face became more and more excited, as if the Fei Ren in front of him was not his son-in-law, but a proper nobleman. As long as the Xiao family can hold each other's thighs tightly, one of them will achieve enlightenment in the future, and chickens and dogs will ascend to heaven.
"What a strong spiritual energy fluctuation...it is no less than a holy spiritual treasure...!"
"This thing is...?"
Looking at Cao Tianlin handing over the Huanglong silk satin, Fei Ren also looked surprised. Although he couldn't see the true appearance of the thing wrapped in it, he could tell from the powerful spiritual energy escaping from all around that the blue and white piece of silk wrapped in the Huanglong silk satin was The nameless spiritual stone is an extraordinary thing!
"I don't know exactly what this thing is called, but the only thing I can be sure of is that this thing contains powerful spiritual energy fluctuations. Originally, I planned to use the power of my technique to forcibly absorb the spiritual energy in it to enhance my vitality. Cultivation..."
"However, I'm ashamed to say it! Maybe it's because of my low cultivation. No matter how I use my skills, I can't shake this thing even half a bit, let alone absorb the spiritual energy inside...!"
Cao Tianlin sighed with some embarrassment. After all, his cultivation level was only about the level of the Xuanzun Realm, which was between the first and second levels of the Xuanzun Realm.
Moreover, from the very beginning he knew that Prince Cao Rui had been injured and that the murderer was Fei Ren, who had killed the entire younger generation of the Ye clan, he had almost figured out the strength gap between himself and the other party.
After all, Fei Ren's follower Mo Bai could easily crush Cao Bao and his son Cao Rui, not to mention how terrifying the opponent's own strength was, it was obviously far above them!
Based on this alone, Cao Tianlin gave up the idea of retaliating against Fei Ren, and he did not hesitate to humble himself and take the initiative to please the other party in order to achieve a good relationship between the two families.
As the former great general of the Ming Dynasty, the cunning and cunning Cao Tianlin naturally understood this aspect of human nature and sophistication.
Therefore, he would not hesitate to offer up the rare treasure that he had finally obtained, this small piece of nameless spiritual stone wrapped in Huanglong silk satin, with the purpose of winning over Fei Ren in front of him.
"This thing is so familiar..."
Reaching out to take the Huanglong silk satin, Fei Ren slowly opened it, and the next moment a palm-sized silver-white stone was exposed in front of him.
Buzz...
With a ray of blue-white light shining on his face, he saw that the overall cut of the spirit stone was uneven and the shape was a bit rugged and weird. The surface of the stone was covered with small cracks, and there seemed to be some traces of damage, as if it were an ancient relic unearthed from some ruins. It was very strange.
"Brother, why does this thing look a bit like that..."
Looking at the blue-white spirit stone in the opponent's hand, Mo Bai on the side also came over, then his eyes were slightly narrowed, and he scratched his head in surprise.
"It's...the emperor's soul heart!"
After a few breaths, Fei Ren and Mo Bai both looked at each other, and then spoke in unison subconsciously.
"Yes, the appearance is really very similar, and this object contains such majestic and rich spiritual energy fluctuations, but the outside is still indestructible. Even the Xuanzun realm masters cannot shake it even with all their strength. Only the soul of the emperor can It has such a miraculous effect..."
Weighing this small piece of silver-white spiritual stone in his hand, Fei Ren took a deep breath, and then strengthened his judgment, "It's just that the internal spiritual energy of this emperor's soul heart has lost a lot, not only is there some external It is broken and damaged, and its size is also relatively small, which is quite different from the complete Emperor's soul..."
"From this point of view, this should be a small fragment of the emperor's soul. Although it is only a fragment of the emperor's heart, it is extremely rare. At least it is difficult to find another fragment in the entire Ming Dynasty and even the Eastern Continent... .!”
