Not A Cultivator

Feng Zhi Yan just has been outwitted by Feng Ao Xiu. How could he make such a blunder?

Feng Ao Xiu was just too cunning, he asked, "Does that mean Brother Zhi Yan personally buy this sword three days ago?"

It was such a simple question, but there were multiple-meaning behind it. Usually, someone would only ask a thing at a time, "Did you personally buy it?" or "When did you buy this?

However, Feng Ao Xiu purposely asked it to the very detail with a yes or no question. It coincidentally clashed with Feng Zhi Yan"s previous statement of staying at home all day long.

Feng Zhi Yan put a smiling face, but his heart was beating very fast. He glanced towards his left and saw the First Elder eyes changed to serious. Compared to the unwary and relaxed one from before, the eyes sharply gazed at the First Young Master.

Yet, Feng Zhi Yan could not easily be defeated. Although it was a step back, he still holds the advantage. The lies have been caught, but it does not mean he could not fight back. The main point for him, the sword was brought three days ago, but three days ago was not that day. As long as buying the sword does not correlate with that day, he would not be discovered.

Still, Feng Zhi Yan needed to choose his word carefully. There were several options for him to decide.

The best scenario would be to confirm all his statements, which was where he could find a way to buy the sword from his home. But, this option was too risky. There was no way someone could buy a weapon from home unless it was a travelling merchant. But, there were not many travelling merchants selling weapons. He could also say his friend sold it to him while visiting. No matter which one, Feng Ao Xiu would investigate the one who sells it to him.

Then the only options left for Feng Zhi Yan was to retract one of his previous statement. What, Who, When, Where, and How, he buys. These five things were the only things he could deal with.

What did he buy? A sword. However, this was too solid. He could not replace the sword with anything else. Retracting this would only make more questions rather than answers.

Who buy it? Feng Zhi Yan. Should he say that he asked his servant to buy it from him? No! This would be the same as before, Feng Ao Xiu would investigate the servant.

When and Where? Three days ago at his home. Feng Zhi Yan dare not touch this two. These two things were the core of his alibi. If he alters it, Feng Ao Xiu could claim he also change it on that day.

How he get the sword? By buying it. Retracting this claim would actually be not that bad.

Feng Zhi Yan smiled, "Haahaa... Of course, I could not. I did not buy it, I just searched for it and found the sword, that"s all."

"Then, how could it still be in good condition?" replied Feng Ao Xiu.

"What is Brother Ao Xiu talking about?" Feng Zhi Yan was well prepared. "As long as it"s kept well, it will still look new no matter how many years it."

Feng Ao Xiu frowned, Feng Zhi Yan exactly did like what he"s thinking. His older cousin took advantage that he never used the word "buy". Now Feng Ao Xiu could not find any flaw within that statement.

However, he already finds a lie. How could he give up after coming this far? He needs to push forward until he finds out what his older cousin was hiding.

"Oh! Then this sword must be kept in a good place. Could you take me to where it was stored?"

Feng Zhi Yan creased his eyebrow. Feng Ao Xiu was too pushy. It will take some time, but he could show some of the weapons stored inside his house.

Just before Feng Zhi Yan could open his mouth, it was his father, Feng Cheng Hong that answered, "No need! Zhi Yan found it in one of the Clan"s storage."

[A brilliant answer!] thought Feng Zhi Yan.

Coincidentally, the clan storages were located near their house. It stored lots of weapons, armours and spirit stones. No one would find it suspicious if Feng Zhi Yan goes out of the house a moment to search for something there. It was common to bring a few spirit stones home for cultivation training. It would also mean, they would not have to show Feng Ao Xiu their home. Besides, Feng Zhi Yan said it himself, "Just searched for it and found the sword". Their victory was a.s.sured!

"The storage! This... This..." Feng Ao Xiu was shocked, he did not expect such an explanation. However, what made him surprised was not that it does not have any flaws, but the answer itself. The Storage!

"Is that true!?" The one who asked was not Feng Ao Xiu but the First Elder.

Feng Cheng Hong and Feng Zhi Yan were confused why the First Elder would ask them a question.

"Yes!" Feng Cheng Hong nodded.

"Perhaps, does the First Young Master like to go inside the storage often?"

The First Elder asked a question again. But, his gaze landed on the father, Feng Cheng Hong. Since the First Elder asked Feng Cheng Hong, Feng Zhi Yan stayed silent.

Feng Cheng Hong thought there was nothing wrong with going there all the time. In fact, it would provide more leniency if he misses something. He complied, "That"s right!"

"Perhaps... The First Young Master not going there alone? But... He always brought a servant or guard with him?"

Feng Cheng Hong was a bit confused, the First Elder asked another weird question. However, it will be advantageous to comply with this one too. The servant or guard could provide testimony for Feng Zhi Yan. Feng Cheng Hong nodded "Yes! He goes there with different servants and guards almost every day!"

"Different..." The First Elder was shocked. "I... I see... so that"s him!"

"I"m... I"m sorry! I should not preach too much!" said Feng Ao Xiu.

Feng Zhi Yan and Feng Cheng Hong became even more confused. Why do their eyes turn into pity?

The First Elder patted on Feng Zhi Yan"s left shoulder, "Zhi Yan, it must have been hard on you?"

Feng Ao Xiu patted on Feng Zhi Yan"s right shoulder, "Brother Zhi Yan, We"re on your side!"

Feng Zhi Yan looked left and right at the two men. He does not understand what happened to them both. "What are you talking about?"

"It"s okay! No need to feign ignorance. We are not your enemy!"

"That"s right! You must have been scared. Don"t worry, we won"t hate you!"

Seeing the two men acted weird, Feng Cheng Hong could not help but ask, "What is this?"

"I see... You even keep it a secret from your father!"

"Don"t worry! We will handle it for you!"

[As I said! What the f*ck are you talking about!?] Feng Zhi Yan rally wanted to scream but hold back.

The First Elder coughed for a moment before he said to Feng Cheng Hong, "Cheng Hong, please don"t be angry. Your son... He has..."

"He has what?"

"He has... He has a tendency to be s.e.xually attracted to male." the First Elder said.

"Huh!!!" Feng Cheng Hong and Feng Zhi Yan shrieked.

Feng Ao Xiu said, "First Elder, I think it"s better to tell your story first."

"You"re right! Then, let me tell all of you what I know about the story for these gay peoples!"

Then, the First Elder told them everything. He retold how he heard a man doing indecent things in the storage with another male. He despised them in the start and tried to search for these two men responsible.

Later during the search, he met many people secretly being gay. After getting to know them and know their story, the First Elder sincerely wants to change. He began to support and fight for them.

Then, the First Elder began telling the story of how these people were mistreated. They were bullied, chased away by their families, and live in shame.

Meanwhile, Feng Zhi Yan and Feng Cheng Hong could only listen while gritting their teeth. n.o.body else but them knows exactly that Feng Zhi Yan was not gay.

"So, you see... Being h.o.m.os.e.xuals was not something you need to be angry of. It was also not a disease or madness, but traits and uniqueness." said the First Elder.

"Are you... sure?" said Feng Cheng Hong. He really wanted to retract his previous statement, but it would be dangerous if he did.

"I"m positive! Zhi Yan has been in pain for hiding it so long. He goes to the storage with servant and guards every single time behind your back." said the First Elder sternly.

"Yes! That"s the only reason he didn"t want us to know that he goes there. That"s why he lied about buying the sword thing!" said Feng Ao Xiu.

Feng Zhi Yan and Feng Cheng Hong perked up their ears. How could they not know? Basically, Feng Ao Xiu was saying that either Feng Zhi Yan a gay or a spy.

The First Elder stared at Feng Cheng Hong, "What are you waiting for?"

Feng Cheng Hong looked at his son. He knows the real answer already, but still asked, "Is that true?"

[F*ck! No!] Feng Zhi Yan inadvertently looked at Feng Ao Xiu. The smiles he sees made fear came. In his eyes, Feng Ao Xiu was planning this from the start.

He has to admits he made a mistake. He just realized Feng Ao Xiu was strong, he could be killed easily by Feng Ao Xiu from the start. But, Feng Ao Xiu leads him into this conversation and humiliates him instead.

[Feng Ao Xiu... You b.a.s.t.a.r.d!]

Feng Zhi Yan gritted his teeth before finally saying, "Yes... That"s true..."

"You did good!" The First Elder nodded before glance back at Feng Cheng Hong, "Your reply?"

Feng Cheng Hong gritted his teeth and replied, "I... I accept you..."

The First Elder and Feng Ao Xiu applauded, "Congratulations! This is a big step towards happiness!"

"First Elder, why don"t we replace the maids in Big Brother Zhi Yan"s residence with some male servant. He would surely be happy!"

"That"s right! Zhi Yan holds back too much. He"s the main member of the Feng Clan, he should get what he wants."

Feng Zhi Yan cursed inside his heart.

[Feng Ao Xiu!!! You f*cking b.a.s.t.a.r.d! I"ll make you regret not killing me now!]
