Chapter 275: Emperor and Emperor
~~~
“What did you think of it? Entertaining, was it not?”
Lord Feng Gui cuts his roasted lamb with a smile. It is only he and Liu Jin in the room, but a full banquet has been served for them. There is pork, venison, duck, and other meats, all seasoned with enough spices to make one’s mouth water and accompanied with vegetables, rice, and copious amounts of wine.
It is a far more expensive meal than the one Lord Feng Shang shared with Liu Jin, and not just because of its flavor. Every single item used to prepare this feast is a high-quality ingredient intended for cultivation. Even some of the Inner Disciples would have trouble handling more than one bite.
“At the very least, it was certainly surprising, Lord Feng Gui,” Liu Jin replies.
Lord Feng Gui looks at him over his cup of wine. “Truly? Elder Xue did not warn you of Elder Fa’s fate beforehand?”
“It seems she thought it best to surprise me,” Liu Jin says dryly.
“Women enjoy testing men, so men must be ready to be tested,” Lord Feng Gui says, smiling as he serves himself more meat. “It is safe to say you were.”
"Patriarch Feng Zhang once told me that he allowed Elder Fa to exist as a traitor because he did not want to invite the Death Fashioning Scripture to grow subtle," Liu Jin says. "I see Lord Feng Gui has different ideas."
