Old Man Feng chuckled, his gaze slanted towards Yang Fei, his demeanor mysterious.
"How about it, are you surprised?"
Yang Fei nodded.
He could hardly imagine.
The seemingly amiable Old Man Feng actually had connections to the enigmatic Mystic Hawk Pavilion.
Old Man Feng said indifferently, "This is a long story."
"Let us sit down first, chat over some tea."
Yang Fei nodded, turned around, left the door, and brought in the gifts he had temporarily left at the front.
"Uncle, Cai'er and I are friends, it's my first visit, and I wasn't prepared."
"These small items, consider them a junior's token of respect."
Yang Fei knew these martial arts world seniors were often eccentric.
The gifts he bought were mostly daily necessities, merely to show respect.
Old Man Feng laughed heartily and didn't stand on ceremony, taking them off his hands.
The two of them sat down in the yard.
Feng Cai'er brought over a small table and brewed tea for them.
Then, she also served some snacks like melon seeds and peanuts.
After attending to Yang Fei, Feng Cai'er went to greet a few enthusiastic senior brothers.
However, seeing that there was business with the Feng family, the brothers soon excused themselves one after another.
Old Man Feng gestured for Yang Fei to drink tea.
He himself took out a long-stemmed brass smoking pipe and leisurely began to fill it with tobacco.
As he filled the tobacco, he started to converse.
"Yannan and Qu City, though over two hundred kilometers apart, belong to the same martial arts lineage."
"I have been to Yannan and observed your actions."
"Oh, uncle, you've been to Yannan?"
Yang Fei was somewhat surprised.
He faintly realized that the old man before him was not as simple as he appeared.
Old Man Feng laughed heartily.
"Cai'er is my daughter, how can I, as a father, not know her capabilities?"
"You handed her two enormous contributions; I naturally had to see for myself."
Without waiting for Yang Fei to speak, he squinted his eyes and continued.
"The formidable Xue Tu, along with that Interpol assassin Aberon, who had all been baffled, ended up vanquished by my daughter."
"As a father, what concerns me more, why did you attribute the merits to Cai'er?"
Yang Fei grimaced and said, "So, you came to Yannan to investigate me?"
Old Man Feng sighed deeply.
"Not just that, I also had another purpose in Yannan; I wanted to find the whereabouts of the Mystic Hawk Pavilion Sacred Object."
Yang Fei was greatly surprised, "You are with the Mystic Hawk Pavilion?"
Old Man Feng looked intently at Yang Fei and confirmed, "Indeed!"
Yang Fei jumped, nearly springing to his feet.
But the Turtle Extreme method circulating within him sensed no malice from Old Man Feng, so he kept his composure.
"Uncle, speak plainly, what exactly do you want from me?"
The Mystic Hawk Pavilion had captured Xiao Xuanya, making them enemies rather than friends with Yang Fei.
Invisibly, Yang Fei's tone became extremely sharp.
Old Man Feng waved his hand.
"Don't be nervous, I mean no harm."
"You don't quite understand the origins of the Mystic Hawk Pavilion, let me explain."
At this point, he had finally packed the tobacco pipe.
The old man lit a lighter and began to smoke, creating the snapping sounds.
The elder's words emerged from the smoke, carrying an ethereal nuance.
"Mystic Hawk Pavilion originated in the early part of the last century."
"At that time, the Qing Government was weak and incompetent, and throughout the Land of Huaxia, a surge to save the nation emerged."
"This wave reached the martial arts world, where various Martial Arts groups and organizations naturally emerged."
"Mystic Hawk Pavilion was just one of the smaller groups, which later endured the Central Plains War, the Resistance War, and the Civil War..."
"The Mystic Hawk Pavilion Martial Arts organization continued its lineage."
"In modern society, with the impact of economic waves, Martial Arts declined."
"Various Martial Arts groups went into hiding and disappeared one by one, and Mystic Hawk Pavilion slowly vanished from the world."
Upon saying this, the old man took a sip of tea, and said leisurely.
"Our Feng family's ancestors were among the founders of the Mystic Hawk Pavilion, so even to this day, I am considered one of the Great Elders of the Mystic Hawk Pavilion."
"Whenever there is a major event in Mystic Hawk Pavilion, aside from the Pavilion Master and the Five Banners Command Master, all of us elders must also be present."
Yang Fei gradually calmed down and asked a question.
"And who exactly is this Five Banners Command Master?"
The old man sighed, apparently recalling some unpleasant memories.
"Speaking of the Five Banners Command Master, that brings us to ten years ago when the Martial God convened Martial Arts Masters from all over in Zhonghai Drink Snow Tower to compile the Yan Ru Scripture, a grand event."
Once again, Yang Fei heard of the feats of the Martial God, and couldn't help but feel excited.
"Have you ever met the Martial God?"
The old man sighed regretfully.
"I am merely a minor figure, not considered a master, and have never personally met the Martial God."
"At that time, only the five most talented young people from the Mystic Hawk Pavilion went to Zhonghai with the Pavilion Master to attend the Martial Arts grand meeting."
As he said this, the regret on his face deepened.
"It is said that the Martial God was a brilliant genius of Huaxia, who had reached the legendary realm of the Immortals and Buddha."
"Unfortunately, for some unknown reason, the Drink Snow Tower was destroyed by a fire overnight."
"The Martial God disappeared, along with several other Great Grandmasters of the Martial Dao Divine Connection who were there at the time."
"Among these missing Martial Arts Great Grandmasters was our Pavilion Master of the Mystic Hawk Pavilion."
"After the Pavilion Master disappeared, the five young people that he brought with him returned."
"They claimed to have grasped the true essence of Martial Arts from the old Pavilion Master during their time at Drink Snow Tower and competed to succeed as the Pavilion Master of Mystic Hawk Pavilion."
"Later, out of urgency, they even came to blows. These five masters were formidable in Martial Arts. Fortunately, they were not yet proficient enough, and the Great Elders of Mystic Hawk Pavilion at the time managed to suppress them together."
"To avoid further conflicts, the Council of Elders allowed them to leave the headquarters of Mystic Hawk Pavilion and spread out."
"Later, these five people opened schools or embarked on businesses, gradually becoming significant, eventually forming what is now known as the Five Banners Command Master."
"Their status and position are equivalent to that of the elders in the Council of Elders."
Yang Fei listened with great interest: "So that's how it is."
Old Man Feng sighed and said, "Within the Mystic Hawk Pavilion, there's a secret legend passed down."
"It is said that after the Pavilion Master disappeared, he returned once and left behind a Sacred Object."
"Moreover, the Martial God came back with him."
"It is said the Martial God left a Divine Trace on the stone wall behind the mountains of Mystic Hawk Pavilion."
As he said this, he chuckled bitterly.
"The legend of the Martial God is elusive and unreliable."
"However, the Sacred Object of Mystic Hawk Pavilion has always existed, rigorously guarded by the Council of Elders."
The elder looked into Yang Fei's eyes, suddenly becoming extremely sharp.
"According to my investigation, your master Shou Jingwu stole the Sacred Object and must have passed it to you."
"What do you have to say about this?"
Yang Fei did not want to deceive Old Man Feng, so he spread his hands and sighed.
"I indeed have nothing to say."
When Shou Jing Gong entrusted Fan Yi with Tiger Amber and the Tiger Extreme Heart Method for Yang Fei,
Yang Fei, eager to treat his internal injuries, did not question their origins.
He never imagined that the items had actually been stolen by Old Silver Stick.
Yang Fei briefly explained the situation.
Facing the aggressive pressure from Mystic Hawk Pavilion, he had no desire to deal with it.
However, facing this amiable and open-hearted old man, Yang Fei was willing to explain clearly.
The expression on Old Man Feng's face did not display the anger Yang Fei had anticipated.
In fact, after Yang Fei explained everything, his expression seemed to clear.
