Chapter 53: Feng Xue, Elder Zhi

As to both Henry and Damien’s guesses, that the invisible person who was currently standing right by the door was most likely Veronica…

Their guesses were indeed right.

A while ago, right after Veronica had left the main conference room and flew a certain distance away from the area that the main conference room was located at…

After making sure that she was out of the range of almost everyone’s spiritual sense, and that no one’s spiritual sense was fixed onto her, she took out a tier 2 peak-quality concealment magic tool from her spiritual ring, which was known as the invisibility veil, then flew back toward the main conference room after concealing herself with the invisibility veil.

As of right now, Veronica was currently looking coldly at everyone within the conference room while using a recording jade to record them.

…

“Cough, cough.”

After letting out an awkward cough, Damien began speaking after he had taken a quick glance at the empty space right by the door, “No matter what, Veronica is not only a golden core realm cultivator, but she is also an important family member of our Lisandris Family.”

“Thus, if Veronica wants one of the slots for her daughter, then so be it.”

“In any case, even if Veronica isn’t really fond of the Lisandris Family and doesn’t feel much attachment toward the Lisandris Family, at the least, her daughter, Vanessa Lisandris, is fond of the Lisandris Family and has a strong sense of attachment toward the Lisandris Family.”

“For the sake of her daughter, I’m sure that Veronica wouldn’t choose to stay put and do nothing if the Lisandris Family is really in a dire state and is in dire need of her help.”

Upon speaking up to here, evidently to not really want to continue staying in the conference room anymore, especially when he was aware that Veronica was most likely present in the conference room and was currently recording the entire meeting with a recording jade, Damien said hurriedly as he stood up from his seat.

“Is there anything else that any of you want to discuss about with me? If not, I will be taking my leave first since I have some other things that I have to attend to.”

Right as Damien finished speaking, everyone could be seen taking a look at each other to see if anyone has anything important that they wanted to discuss about.

Upon seeing that no one had opened their mouth to speak, Damien then continued on speaking, “Since this is the case, I should take my leave first then. The rest of you can continue with the meeting if you all still have anything to discuss about amongst yourselves.”

And right before Damien began to walk over to the door and leave the conference room, Damien looked over to Dave and said, “Dave, there’s something I want to talk to you about in private. So, if you don’t mind, can you come along with me to my house right now?”

Upon hearing his name being called out, Dave immediately looked over to Damien, and right after Damien finished speaking, Dave immediately responded, “Family head, of course I won’t mind.”

And right after Dave finished speaking to Damien, he then stood up and cupped his hands at the remaining people within the conference room and said apologetically, “Everyone, I apologize, but I will be taking my leave first too.”

Right as Dave and Damien had left the conference room, the few people that had opened their mouths to talk badly about Veronica could be seen immediately opening their mouths to speak.

“I really don’t understand why the family head is being so lenient and magnanimous toward that ungrateful woman. Is it because of that woman’s profession as a weapon enchanter? Or because that woman’s daughter is a direct disciple of Elder Zhi?”

“Sigh… I guess, on the bright side, just as the family head had said, Vanessa is indeed fond of our Lisandris Family and has a strong sense of attachment toward our Lisandris Family.”

“Tsk! So what if Vanessa is fond of our Lisandris Family and has a strong sense of attachment toward our Lisandris Family?!

If Veronica uses the main sect’s outer-disciple slot on Vanessa, it means that Vanessa will be leaving our family and heading toward the main sect within a few years’ time! And once Vanessa leaves for the main sect, who knows if she would even want to come back to Bright Moon City anymore!”

“What Ragen just said is right. And with the state that our Lisandris Family is in right now, we cannot afford to lose someone like Vanessa. So long as Vanessa continues staying in Bright Moon Sect, it would mean that our Lisandris Family will be able to gain a new golden core realm cultivator in the future.”

“That’s right. And don’t forget about the various other benefits Vanessa would be able to provide to our Lisandris Family. After all, not only is Vanessa the daughter of Veronica’s, but Vanessa is also the direct disciple of Elder Zhi, who is the great elder of the talisman crafting department!

Through Vanessa, not only will we be able to slowly try and get Vanessa to slowly convince Veronica into helping our Lisandris Family earn spiritual stones with that weapon enchantment skills of her, but our Lisandris Family will also be able to slowly start to form a good relationship with Elder Zhi!

However… most importantly, since Vanessa is the direct disciple of Elder Zhi, it means that she is also the senior sister of Feng Xue, the girl who possesses the special body that is known as the phoenix rebirth body, a special body that specializes in fighting!

As for why Vanessa being the senior sister of Feng Xue is very important to us… I’m sure most of you understand why, right?

With the phoenix rebirth body that Feng Xue possesses, once she breaks through to the golden core realm… It won’t take long for her to end up becoming the strongest golden core realm cultivator within the North Continent.”
