Chapter 1463 - 1310: My Younger Brother Is the Villain 7
The Identity Jade for a Direct Disciple is split into two parts: one for the disciple and one kept by the master. Once crafted, they need a drop of blood from the heart to acknowledge the owner.The Identity Jade serves not only to confirm identity but also as a means of rescue. If the disciple encounters danger, they can call for help from the master through the Identity Jade.
If the disciple meets with mishap and is unfortunate enough to perish, the Identity Jade held by the master will shatter, notifying the master about the disciple’s demise.
Upon waking, Feng Feiyu felt refreshed and invigorated. The cloud quilt he lay upon brought immense comfort, and the Array on the quilt slowly operated to relieve Feng Feiyu’s excessive fatigue.
On the table lay a Jade Plate filled with nuts and a pot of Spiritual Tea, its mellow fragrance soothing the soul even without tasting it. Just the aroma from this tea could calm one’s Heart Realm, indicating it was definitely top-quality Spiritual Tea.
On the bedside rack lay a set of blue and white clothing. Feng Feiyu’s original clothes were nowhere to be seen, likely taken while he slept.
Feng Feiyu unfolded the clothes and put them on, surprisingly finding them a perfect fit. The clothes that were previously on the wall rack were made for an average sixteen-year-old boy but were not suitable given Feng Feiyu’s smaller stature.
Initially, Feng Feiyu thought Nie Shuangshuang might not have considered this. However, upon waking, he found perfectly fitting clothes bearing the Qiaoyun Building cloud emblem.
Just after getting dressed, Feng Feiyu’s stomach growled. Earlier, he had been at Dianfeng Hall for most of the day and then slept until dusk, having only eaten a bowl of porridge before heading to Dianfeng Hall.
Being previously too fatigued, he didn’t notice. After resting and recovering, the hunger was especially pronounced and quite uncomfortable.
Feng Feiyu hesitated on whether to leave his room. He was starving and wanted to find food but was unfamiliar with the place, especially since it was Tianjing Peak Law Enforcement Hall, the strictest area after the Forbidden Land in Heavenly Mechanism Sect.
Feng Feiyu worried about wandering and accidentally entering forbidden areas. Yet staying in his room with his severe hunger wasn’t bearable, and his stomach ached with pain.
As Feng Feiyu debated stepping outside, an enticing aroma of food wafted in, making his stomach hurt even more.
Shortly after, the door opened, and a young boy around Feng Feiyu’s age, dressed in a blue-green servant’s garb, walked in.
The boy carried two large food containers, and the alluring scent came from them. Clearly, the boy was there to deliver food to Feng Feiyu.
Upon seeing Feng Feiyu awake, the boy hurriedly walked over, placed the food containers on the table, and respectfully bowed: "Qing Xing greets the young master."
"Qing Xing? You are..." Feng Feiyu looked at the boy hesitantly.
"Oh, since you haven’t met Qing Xing, you don’t know who I am. Qing Xing is here by Master Nie’s order to serve you and handle chores for you," Qing Xing explained considerately to Feng Feiyu’s confusion.
Feng Feiyu paused, having never used a servant in his previous life. He briefly didn’t react, considering he was now a Direct Disciple of such a Great Cultivator like Master Nie, and would certainly have attendants.
"You must be hungry, young master. Please come to the table to dine."
Feng Feiyu nodded and moved to the table to sit. Qing Xing opened the food boxes and started placing dishes on the table.
These two food boxes were quite large and appeared heavy, yet Qing Xing handled them effortlessly, displaying considerable strength. Servants at Heavenly Mechanism Sect receive education and resources comparable to Inner Sect Disciples from minor sects.
Thus, many with poor aptitude prefer being servants at major sects to being disciples at smaller ones.
One food box held dishes, eighteen in total plus a large bowl of Spirit Rice, while the other was packed with various pastries. Judging by the food box’s emblem, one was from Ten Thousand Flavors Inn, the other from Pin Yuan Square.
Ten Thousand Flavors Inn excels at cooking with uniquely exquisite flavors, while Pin Yuan Square specializes in crafting pastries that are sweet but not cloyingly so, enjoyable every time. Both places share two traits: deliciousness and expense.
In his past life, Feng Feiyu had eaten there twice; despite the deliciousness, he regretted the expense greatly, only tasting two dishes and one type of pastry.
Now, faced with this entire table of delicacies, Feng Feiyu, who would definitely not splurge, listened as Qing Xing continued explaining.
"These dishes are made with regular beast meat. Since you haven’t yet absorbed Spiritual Energy, you can’t consume demon beast meat that contains Spiritual Energy."
Feng Feiyu felt extremely satisfied after the meal, having eaten more than ten pastries. The Pin Yuan Square pastries were small and allowed perfect one-bite portions.
Feeling full and resisting the impulse to continue eating, Feng Feiyu stopped before stuffing himself. Qing Xing, seeing Feng Feiyu finished, packed the leftovers into the food boxes and left with them.
Feng Feiyu sat on the chair, slowly sipping Spiritual Tea, his legs dangling in the air, his gaze somewhat dazed. Unwillingly, his thoughts wandered to Nie Shuangshuang, wondering what she was doing. Why hadn’t she summoned him yet?
Just as Feng Feiyu pondered this, there was a knock on the door. Feng Feiyu jumped from the chair and opened the door. Outside stood Nie Shuangshuang, clad in luxurious black-gold embroidered wide-sleeve attire, holding a Jade Token with a poised stance.
"Master, you’ve come," Feng Feiyu remarked.
Nie Shuangshuang nodded without much expression, initially considering a smile but deciding against it because her face seemed fixed in place, unable to manage a smile. Better to stay cool and composed.
Nie Shuangshuang entered and sat down as Feng Feiyu poured her a cup of Spiritual Tea from the teapot. Nie Shuangshuang handed the Jade Token to Feng Feiyu: "This is your Identity Jade. Remember to carry it with you always."
Receiving the Jade Token from Nie Shuangshuang, Feng Feiyu immediately let a drop of blood acknowledge ownership before wearing it on his waist. The Jade Pendant, personally carved by Nie Shuangshuang, was intricately and lavishly designed.
The center of the Jade Token featured a large character ’Nie’, beneath which rested a smaller ’Feng’, representing Nie Shuangshuang and Feng Feiyu respectively.
The design of these characters, with the larger ’Nie’ guarding the smaller ’Feng’, symbolized the master-disciple relationship between Nie Shuangshuang and Feng Feiyu. The Jade Token overall was exceedingly elegant.
Feng Feiyu felt the token, sensing Nie Shuangshuang’s meticulous care from its extravagant complexity. The Identity Token for a Direct Disciple holds immense importance.
Its appearance also reflects the master’s attention. The simplest tokens are those crafted by the sect’s Artifact Refining Hall.
Using such tokens implies the master-disciple bond is superficial, lacking in deeper affection and concern.
