Chapter 108: Selling Out a Teammate

The controlled yao cultivators then came to their senses, saying that their bodies were not under their control, which was why they had slandered Zhuang Qing and Fu Li, and so on and so forth.

The expression on the face of the Yao Union's employee changed drastically. He had actually failed to notice that a restriction had been placed on these few yao. How profound was the cultivation of the mastermind?

"Many thanks senior for informing us," He glanced at the yao cultivators trembling from fright, and brought them away after apologizing to Zhuang Qing and Fu Li.

Fu Li, who basically hadn't spoken more than a few words since entering the room, looked at Feng Ruizhong with continued silence. Feeling self-conscious under his stare, the smile on Feng Ruizhong's smile became stiffer and stiffer, though he didn't dare to reveal his true feelings through his facial expression.

This reaction was borne from shame and guilt.

The rest felt that there was something off about the atmosphere and thus very tactfully left the reception room, leaving Zhuang Qing and Fu Li to receive this elder on their own.

As Chu Yu was closing the door, Zhuang Qing spoke to him using the sound transmission skill.

"Investigate the residences of those yao cultivators and see if there's anything to be found."

Chu Yu nodded. Turning, he started assigning everyone tasks. This matter seemed to be a 'framing incident' but in truth, was malice-filled. There was a possibility that the mastermind wasn't targeting the boss but the entire cultivation world.

The door closed and the reception room sunk into silence.

"Uncle Feng, please sit," Fu Li pointed at the single couch opposite him.

Feng Ruizhong sat down with a dry laugh. "I used the past two days to fully understand the human world's currency. When I took a taxi over, the driver said that this workplace of yours is very outstanding. All he spoke about was how you were winning honor for your ancestors."

Fu Li pursed his lips silently.

"And and, I brought you many things – they're all things you like eating," Feng Ruizhong took out a large pile of items from his bag, covering the entire table with spiritual essence, spiritual fruits, and all sorts of fragrant pills made from rare medicinal herbs.

Seeing that Fu Li still wasn't talking, Feng Ruizhong was in a fluster and asked timidly, "You said the previous time that you would bring me to the human world to try delicious food, is that still valid?" His cautious and solemn appearance had none of the previous majesty.

Fu Li's adam's apple shifted. A long while passed before he replied, "Where were you these years?"

Feng Ruizhong was happy yet ashamed now that Fu Li was finally willing to speak. "It was too chaotic at that time. I originally wanted to bring you along, but... but I was scared that you would be implicated as well." He glanced at Zhuang Qing, who was seated beside Fu Li, and smiled. "Luckily I listened to them at that time and didn't bring you along, otherwise I would have harmed you."

Fu Li's lips trembled lightly. "You pretended not to recognize me and even tricked me into calling you uncle. You're shameless."

"Stinky brat, I'm hundreds of thousands of years older than you, what are you going to call me if not uncle?" Feng Ruizhong had a self-conscious look on his face. "You have no conscience. You call them uncle but only know how to call me little sparrow, I was good to you for nothing."

Fu Li laughed out loud, though the rims of his eyes were red. He covered his eyes with a hand. "Who asked you not to change into your human form all the time? Your voice was even like a little kid's, it was already good that I didn't call you little sister."
