Chapter 1054 Blue Phoenix Tribe (2)
Since the Great Elders and elders weren’t able to convince Lin Fan of this matter in the end, they had no choice but to head to the Blue Phoenix Tribe in the end.
But they wouldn’t just let Lin Fan and Xiao Huo go alone.
Once again, one of the Great Elders came and this time, there were several elders that followed them.
But if one looked carefully, they would have noticed that there wasn’t a single Blue Phoenix among them.
They were heading to the Blue Phoenix Tribe, so it should make sense to bring one or two elders who had come from the Blue Phoenix Tribe to guide them or help mediate. But there wasn’t a single Blue Phoenix elder that came along.
That was because they didn’t trust them.
Someone had leaked information about Xiao Huo to the Blue Phoenix Tribe and the elders didn’t know who it was.
Before figuring this out, the most likely candidate would be one of the elders that came from the Blue Phoenix Tribe in the first place. So they wouldn’t bring one of the elders from the Blue Phoenix Tribe where all of this was happening.
They would put these elders under house arrest until they figured out where the leak came from.
If possible, they would have liked to lock down the entire elder hall…but that wasn’t possible with Lin Fan’s request to go to the Blue Phoenix Tribe.
Since it was a visit from the elders, the path had been cleared just like when they went to the Red Phoenix Tribe.
From how there weren’t any people that blocked their way, it didn’t seem like the Blue Phoenix Tribe was rebelling against the elders. It almost seemed like they were completely subservient to the elders.
But that wasn’t the case under the covers.
If one looked closely, one could feel many eyes that were peeking on them from afar.
They didn’t come close, but they were trying to find something.
It was just too bad that the elders formed a barrier that they couldn’t peer through.𝑜𝓋𝔩xt.𝑐𝑶𝔪
It didn’t take them long to reach the manor of the Blue Phoenix Tribe head.
When they arrived, they found that there were only a few servants waiting for them. They led them to an empty room where they were made to wait.
This was completely unlike the Red Phoenix Tribe where Feng Huang and Feng Tian had been waiting for them. Instead of showing their humble side, they decided to show their arrogant side by being the one that was waited for instead of waiting.
This showed that they thought themselves as more important than the elders.
Seeing this, the elders and Great Elder all knitted their brows.
In their years of helming the Phoenix Race, they had never seen this kind of disrespect before.
But they didn’t do a thing because Lin Fan just walked forward and sat down without a word. It was as if he didn’t care about the disrespect that the Blue Phoenix Tribe had shown them.
Since Lin Fan had acted calmly, it wasn’t as if the elders and the Great Elder could lose their temper as the seniors. So they copied Lin Fan and sat down to enjoy the tea that had been brought for them.
The ones that were watching secretly couldn’t help being surprised by this reaction from the elders.
They knew what kind of temper the elders had, so for the elders to just calmly sit down like this…
They could see that it was all because of Lin Fan.
Because he calmly sat down first, the elders followed him.
So the eyes that were watching secretly took note of Lin Fan.
The information that they had received was that there was someone special who had arrived in the Red Phoenix Tribe, but they didn’t know who it was. Now that they saw Lin Fan, they knew that this was most likely the special person that had arrived.
But there was also one other person that they cared about more than this special person and they weren’t seeing her now.
Since the elders had gathered and they couldn’t get any more information, they decided to head in.
The ones that came in were the head of the Blue Phoenix Tribe, Bing Mu Chen and the young master of the Blue Phoenix Tribe, Bing Fu.
When the two of them arrived, the servants all stood up to greet them.
This was a stark contrast to when Lin Fan and the elders came into the room where the servants didn’t show them any signs of respect.
But to the surprise of the two who came in, not a single person from the elder group was dissatisfied with this. They just calmly sat there while sipping their tea, as if they didn’t even notice them coming in.
The two of them couldn’t help turning their attention to Lin Fan who sat in the middle with the Great Elder.
They had been curious as to who this person was, but they hadn’t been able to figure anything out. They just knew that he had a special status that even the elders respected…
After coming in, Bing Mu Chen sat down in front of them without even being acknowledged and he poured himself a cup of tea. He did the same thing as the elders and calmly sat there sipping his tea without acknowledging them.
The difference between the two sides was that Bing Mu Chen was secretly paying attention to the elders while sipping his tea, waiting for them to make a move.
The elders just didn’t move at all as they waited for Lin Fan to make a move.
And Lin Fan…was waiting for Bing Mu Chen to make a move.
It had become a deadlock of who would break first.
And in the end, it was Bing Mu Chen who broke first by saying, “Elders, it is an honour to have you at our Blue Phoenix Tribe today. May I ask what business you have with us?”
The elders and Great Elder looked at Lin Fan and waited for him to speak.
When Bing Mu Chen and Bing Fu saw this, they couldn’t help being surprised.
They didn’t think that there would be anyone important enough that they would make the elders and Great Elder defer to them, so they couldn’t help being even more curious about Lin Fan’s identity.
Lin Fan just calmly looked at Bing Mu Chen without saying a word.
So the room fell into an awkward silence.
Both Bing Mu Chen and Bing Fu felt the pressure that came from this silence and they were feeling more and more uncomfortable.
During this entire time, Lin Fan had been watching the two of them.
He didn’t know why they had refused to hand over the Phoenix Stone, but he didn’t think that it was for the same reason that the elders thought it was for. After all, he didn’t think that there would be an elder that would betray the Phoenix Race after everything that he saw.
So he thought that they had received some other kind of information.
Namely, they had received information about a certain someone.
That was confirmed by him when he saw the way that Bing Fu looked around the room, as if he was searching for something.
That was why he had decided to come to the Blue Phoenix Tribe himself.
He knew that there wouldn’t be danger to himself or Xiao Huo since their target was someone else in the first place. Not to mention that the target wanted to end their relationship with the Blue Phoenix Tribe in the first place.
So Lin Fan came to set the stage.
Finally, it was Bing Fu who couldn’t take this silence anymore and broke it by saying, “Where is she?”
Everyone was confused at first when they heard this, except for Lin Fan. He had already expected this and was even waiting for him to say this.
He had been silently watching Bing Fu and he had already figured out what kind of personality he had.
In this situation, he wouldn’t be able to hold back his rage and he would try to find the one that he was looking for.
The one he was looking for was Feng Ling, his ex-wife.
Bing Mu Chen slightly knitted his brows when he heard this, but then he relaxed them.
He adopted a stance of wait and see.
He knew that he lacked too much information to make a proper judgement, so he wanted to see what would come out of Bing Fu’s outburst. In a worst case scenario, he could just offer the Phoenix Stone to the elders to reconcile since that was the one thing that they wanted.
Or else they wouldn’t have sent all these elders and even the Great Elder.
Lin Fan just picked up his cup and took another sip of his tea before saying, “Who are you talking about?”
Bing Fu narrowed his eyes to look at Lin Fan before saying, “Who are you? Do you think that a kid like you has the right to speak in this place?”
The elders and the Great Elder knitted their brows when they heard this, but Lin Fan just raised a hand for them to calm down before saying, “I have more right than you.”
Bing Fu couldn’t help being taken aback by the aura that Lin Fan released.
He didn’t know who this kid was, but he could tell that he definitely wasn’t a normal person.
So in the end, he said, “Just tell me where she is and we’ll give you the Phoenix Stone.”
