The First Elder suddenly recalled something from twenty years ago. He thought of a talented person and could not help but compare him to Xue Fanxin, so he mentioned it casually.
With that, he realized that their surnames were Xue and he seemed to have thought of something.
“Little girl, what’s your relationship with Xue Feichen?” the First Elder asked solemnly.
“He’s my father. First Elder, do you know anything about my father? He’s been missing for many years and there’s no news yet.” Xue Fanxin had not expected to obtain news about her father from the First Elder and was very excited.
What had happened to her parents back then?
Why had her soul been divided into two?
Where were her father and mother now?
She had to find out these things.
“So Xue Feichen is your father. No wonder. The apple doesn’t fall from the tree! Actually, I don’t know much about your father. I only saw him twenty years ago. At that time, it was the sect competition that the three great sects held every ten years. Xue Feichen was one of the people from the Flowing Cloud Sect who represented the sect to participate in the competition twenty years ago.
“The sect competition twenty years ago was held in the Heavenly Spirit Sect. I watched all of Xue Feichen’s competitions the entire time. With his extraordinary intelligence and strength, he obtained first place in that sect competition and won quite a bit of glory for the Flowing Cloud Sect.
“Xue Feichen became famous after that battle and became the most talented and powerful person among the younger generation. Logically speaking, even if such a person declined later, he would leave behind shocking traces. However, not long after the sect competition, there was no more news of Xue Feichen in the Flowing Cloud Sect, it was as if this person had never appeared.
“As time slowly passed, generations of geniuses appeared. Xue Feichen was slowly forgotten about. How could the young juniors now know Xue Feichen? Even an old fellow like me can barely remember him.
“First Elder, do you know anything else about my father?” Xue Fanxin had already known that her father had once gone to the Flowing Cloud Sect and had lost contact with her grandfather after.
Now that she heard what the First Elder said, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that there was something wrong with the Flowing Cloud Sect.
Since her father had fought for the glory of the sect and was a talented genius, how could the Flowing Cloud Sect ignore her father’s disappearance?
Unless the Flowing Cloud Sect knew where her father had gone?
“I really don’t know about that. After the sect competition twenty years ago, I never saw Xue Feichen again. Later, I didn’t even hear any news about him. However, there is something that I think is to do with your father.” As the First Elder spoke, his expression turned a little bad, as if he was afraid of something.
“What is it?” Xue Fanxin could sense the First Elder’s fear, so she assured him. “First Elder, if you have anything to say, just say it. If the sky collapses, I’ll get Ah Jiu to support you.”
Hearing Xue Fanxin’s words, the First Elder had the courage to say it boldly. “In recent years, among the three great sects, the Heavenly Spirit Sect and the Flying Dragon Sect don’t really recruit disciples from the outside world. The disciples we recruit are basically internally decided by the sect, but the Flowing Cloud Sect is an exception. They are very passionate about recruiting disciples from the outside world, especially those with excellent talent. No matter how poor their background is, they will still recruit them.”
Hearing the First Elder’s words, Xue Fanxin recalled that back in the Heavenly Saint Empire, the three great sects had come to recruit disciples. Only the Flowing Cloud Sect had tried their best to take her in. The other two sects had only said it casually and did not express much interest. Clearly, it did not matter if they accepted her as a disciple.
Previously, she had thought that the Flowing Cloud Sect only cherished talent. Only now did she realize that there was a hidden agenda.
