Primordial Era: When a Good Guy Awakens a Morally Unethical System

Chapter 56, Yuan Feng's Threat

Yuan Feng sneered and threatened, "What exactly did you do to the younger generation of my clan? If you don't tell me, I won't mind searching their souls. As for your reputation, if it doesn't spread, naturally no one will know."

Hongyun quickly brainstormed, going through everything that could and couldn't be said.

"So what if you search my soul? Since I took human form, I have always acted with integrity and uprightness. Why would I be afraid? But you, the leader of the Phoenix Clan, would be ridiculed for searching the soul of a friend of your clan based on a mere guess!" Hongyun said boldly, her voice trembling with fear.

Yuan Feng could indeed kill him after searching his soul, but right now Yuan Feng is only guessing. If she is wrong, it would be a case of indiscriminately harming someone who has been kind to the younger generation of the Phoenix Clan. Sending out so many black jade plum blossoms, even if it is not enough to make the Phoenixes regard Hong Yun as a close friend, it would be enough to make them fear Yuan Feng, thus reducing their loyalty.

Moreover, Yuan Feng has enemies, and once she has done something, it is impossible to cover it up without any ripples. If Zu Long knew about Yuan Feng's actions, he would definitely make a big deal out of it.

Hongyun's mind raced, trying to bolster her courage while pretending to be fearless.

In reality, these thoughts were merely Hongyun's wild guesses about the situation in this urgent moment; they were completely chaotic. If Yuan Feng really killed him, there was nothing he could do. He was both deceiving Yuan Feng and stalling for time, waiting for Zhen Yuanzi to arrive.

Yuan Feng saw the dragon meat on the fire and suddenly chuckled twice: "Since you have such a good relationship with the younger generation of my clan, why don't you become my disciple and fight alongside your friends?"

Hongyun was even more terrified. Yuanfeng couldn't possibly have taken him as a disciple because she liked him; there must be some other test involved.

Regardless of whether it's true or false, you shouldn't worship this master.

I could only politely decline: "Thank you for your kind offer, but I'm a restless person who likes to travel around, see different places, and make different friends."

Yuan Feng wasn't upset by the rejection; instead, she smiled and said, "Having too many friends inevitably leads to karmic entanglements, and doing too many things inevitably causes displeasure. You should find a quiet place to cultivate in seclusion, lest you encounter any danger in this vast prehistoric world."

There are many powerful beings in the primordial world. With your level of cultivation, if you were eaten, you would never be able to make friends again.

Hongyun understood; she was warning him to stay in seclusion and cultivate diligently, to do nothing, and not to appear near the Phoenix Clan again.

In other words, the previous matters will no longer be investigated.

Hongyun immediately breathed a sigh of relief and cupped her hands in thanks, saying, "Thank you for the reminder."

Yuan Feng laughed twice more, then suddenly flew into the sky. After two phoenix cries, Zhen Yuanzi walked over quickly.

He asked, "What happened? Who set up the barrier just now?"

Hongyun then realized that Yuanfeng had set up a barrier when she arrived, and while she was waiting for Zhenyuanzi to come, Yuanfeng had made arrangements in advance to prevent Zhenyuanzi from entering.

She never intended to let herself off the hook when she arrived; she wasn't even asking questions.

Hongyun's face was pale. Zhen Yuanzi remembered the two phoenix cries just now and guessed who had just arrived.

"What did she do to you?" Zhen Yuanzi asked with concern, supporting Hongyun's arm.

Hongyun swallowed hard and looked at Zhen Yuanzi: "She told me to obediently go into seclusion and cultivate."

Zhen Yuanzi breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and threw off Hongyun's arm: "Serves you right! I told you to go into seclusion and cultivate, but you insisted on traveling. Traveling is one thing, but to do this is another."
