Chapter 1543 - 1390: My Brother Is a Villain 87
After everything had ended, Feng Feiyu emerged from the Secret Realm to find the Cultivation World changed beyond recognition, especially the Illusion Sound Sect, which was no longer in existence, leaving him feeling particularly empty.
What had once driven Feng Feiyu to move forward with determination was his hatred for the enemies of his past life, and his resentment towards his father Nie Jinglin, and sister Nie Shuangshuang. Now Feng Feiyu had accepted his sister and father from deep within his heart.
The Illusion Sound Sect, which he had once hated to the core, had vanished, even its entire sect was destroyed, leaving Feng Feiyu bewildered, without hatred or resentment.
Moreover, the disaster caused by the Blood Demon, which he had never experienced in his past life, made Feng Feiyu deeply confused.
From now on, the future path of cultivators would be entirely different from his memories, and the advantage of his foresight was gone.
Feng Feiyu’s feelings were very complicated now, filled with confusion and emptiness, but undeniably, also a sense of relief and a mixture of fear and longing for the unknown future.
Feng Feiyu was lost in thought for several days, naturally, Nie Shuangshuang noticed something was amiss with him.
While Nie Shuangshuang could more or less guess what was in Feng Feiyu’s mind, she didn’t know how to help him see through it; this was something Feng Feiyu had to sort out himself.
However, Nie Shuangshuang didn’t do nothing. During this great catastrophe in the Cultivation World, Nie Shuangshuang was in the limelight, coupled with her being the youngest Loose Immortal in the Cultivation World, raising the reputation of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect further.
Coincidentally, it was time for the Heavenly Mechanism Sect’s once-in-a-decade disciple recruitment ceremony, and the number of disciples coming to the Heavenly Mechanism Sect to seek mentorship was more than ten times the usual, among them Feng Feiyu’s friends from his past life, Jiang Han and Bai Shu.
Nie Shuangshuang, now a Loose Immortal, had higher standards for accepting disciples. Jiang Han and Bai Shu, being ordinary Dual Spirit Roots disciples, couldn’t become Nie Shuangshuang’s direct disciples.
Given Jiang Han and Bai Shu’s aptitude, becoming Outer Disciples under Nie Shuangshuang would be the best they could achieve. However, Nie Shuangshuang thought of them as Feng Feiyu’s friends, and insisted against the opposition to accept them as Inner Sect disciples.
Jiang Han and Bai Shu were stunned by this unexpected opportunity, ecstatic, yet unsure of where to place their hands and feet, overly cautious in the presence of Nie Shuangshuang.
Nie Shuangshuang accepted these two for Feng Feiyu’s sake, but also genuinely wanted to guide them in cultivation.
It was a gesture of gratitude towards them for leaving Feng Feiyu with warm memories in his past life, ensuring Feng Feiyu’s life wasn’t solely filled with betrayal, devoid of warmth.
After a month of teaching Jiang Han and Bai Shu a cultivation curriculum, she tailored a cultivation method specifically for them.
Once Bai Shu and Jiang Han had learned the cultivation method, she directly summoned Qing Xing, who was in charge of Feng Feiyu’s miscellaneous affairs, to take them to meet their senior brother, Feng Feiyu.
Before their departure, she reminded Bai Shu and Jiang Han: "As your master, my affairs are busy, and I may not be able to constantly oversee your studies. To prevent laxity, let your senior brother urge you to cultivate diligently."
If there is anything unclear you can always consult Feng Feiyu, your senior brother, about it. He entered the sect before you and is more than capable of guiding you in cultivation."
Nie Shuangshuang planned for the three of them to eat, live and cultivate together, which would help in fostering their relationships, hoping they become friends soon.
Seeing Bai Shu and Jiang Han, Feng Feiyu indeed felt pleasantly surprised, as he had been wondering how to find Bai Shu and Jiang Han.
Originally, Feng Feiyu thought similarly to Nie Shuangshuang before, that he would intercept and recruit these two friends to the Heavenly Mechanism Sect during the Illusion Sound Sect’s disciple recruitment.
Who knew that later the Illusion Sound Sect was destroyed in the Blood Demon’s disaster, and Feng Feiyu feared that Bai Shu and Jiang Han were destined not to cross paths with him.
Unexpectedly, the situation took a favorable turn, and the two happened to come to the Heavenly Mechanism Sect to seek mentorship and were even accepted as disciples by his teacher sister.
Perhaps the three were meant to become friends, and upon meeting, they found each other agreeable, growing close in no time.
Seeing Feng Feiyu’s mood begin to improve, Nie Shuangshuang also breathed a sigh of relief; if Feng Feiyu was unhappy, she wouldn’t know how to cheer him up.
As for whether or not to acknowledge Feng Feiyu as her brother, Nie Shuangshuang still felt quite troubled.
She also didn’t know how Feng Feiyu felt about her as a sister and father Nie Jinglin—whether he had accepted them—and didn’t dare to reveal Feng Feiyu’s identity rashly, only continuing the mentor-disciple relationship for now.
Nie Shuangshuang hoped that over time, Feng Feiyu would eventually accept her and Nie Jinglin, and the matter of acknowledging him as brother and son would naturally follow.
But Nie Shuangshuang never expected this day to come so soon.
This is how it happened: A couple of days ago, Nie Jinglin received news about his son again and came to find Nie Shuangshuang, asking her to look after the sect while he went out to find his son.
Although Nie Shuangshuang knew it was futile, Feng Feiyu had not revealed his identity yet; she feared it might agitate him, so she agreed as usual, allowing Nie Jinglin to go.
Unexpectedly, Feng Feiyu saw this, knowing Nie Jinglin was going to find him, and couldn’t hold back the urge to reveal his identity.
Afterwards, everything was chaotic—surprise, excitement, tearful embrace, disbelief, ecstatic joy—Nie Shuangshuang’s shoulder was soaked with Feng Feiyu’s tears.
It took a day for the family of three to calm down after the acknowledgment, post which Feng Feiyu habitually called Nie Shuangshuang ’master,’ resulting in Nie Jinglin freezing up.
Then Feng Feiyu himself froze up, both realizing the issue of hierarchy belatedly; the father-son trio had lagged behind a generation! The three had become a grandfather-son relationship.
Feng Feiyu coughed lightly, touched his head, fiddled with his face; all of it was his fault, leaving him clueless about what to do now.
Nie Jinglin was also uncomfortable, but since this mess was caused by his own son, he couldn’t bring himself to reprimand his son whom he had found after such difficulty.
But this issue of hierarchy had to be corrected; turning a father into a grandfather and a sister into a master was too ludicrous.
In the end, Nie Shuangshuang decided to say that while Nie Jinglin was guiding Feng Feiyu in cultivation, he unexpectedly discovered a magic treasure on Feng Feiyu that proved his identity and recognized him as his son; everything was an unintentional mistake, no one was at fault.
Nie Jinglin thought it over, finding it the only solution, and agreed.
Three days later, a shocking news swept through the Cultivation World—a major announcement from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect: disciple becomes brother, but why?
Searching for twenty years, the family was never far apart—this is fate, a family is meant to reunite.
In this world, Nie Shuangshuang stayed the longest, a full thousand years, not leaving until Nie Jinglin and Feng Feiyu had both ascended, finally entering the next world.
