3 Meeting the Patriarch

"COUGH COUGH!" After returning to his room, Fei Ling began to cough and almost spit out blood. " Your pathetic, coughing blood after fighting a 3rd muscle strengthening stage cultivater." Ai Bao stated in a cold tone while looking down at Fei Ling. Fei Ling stated in an equally cold tone "He was two stages above me when we started fighting, if I didn't break through during the fight there's no guarantee I would have won." Fei Ling then began to silently cultivate to recover his strength, Ai Bao then said " After you reach the 5th stage of muscle strengthening go out and fight ferocious beasts to increase your combat experience and cultivation speed, I'll also teach you a way to use beasts meat to cultivate." For ordinary cultivators most types of beast meat were useless, however there were rare delicacies that could increase their strength. Fei Ling's eyes brightened and he began to cultivate while doing push-ups once again, cultivating as fast as possible in a short amount of time, seeing this scene caused Ai Bao to almost burst out laughing. As he cultivated Fei ling realized his cultivation was still improving rapidly and marveled at his own talent. If he continued to cultivate at this rate it would only take four days to reach the 5th stage of muscle strengthening. He continued to cultivate for the whole night and by Dawn the next morning, he had reached the peak of the 2nd layer of muscle strengthening. Right as he was about to breakthrough the bottleneck and reach the 3rd layer, he heard a knock on the door. Letting out a sigh of annoyance, he walked toward the door and opened it to find a servant standing there. She then stated in a calm manor " Young master the Patriarch has called for you." She then walked away with unhurried footsteps, this caused Fei Ling to be confused " Uncle? What could uncle want from me?" Fei ling said in a confused tone. He then had Ai Bao hide in his dantian and walked out of his room. Arriving at the main hall, he walked in and headed straight to the man sitting in the very back of the room. He cupped his hands and said in a respectful tone " Uncle." "Mm." His uncle replied " Have a seat." Fei Ling's uncle was a man with refined, stern, and handsome features named Fei Long. He had long red hair going down to his waist and a cold expression plastered across his face. Fei Ling nodded in reply and sat to the right of Fei Long, seated across from him was Fei Tong and his father, Fei Hong, they were both bulky with ugly facial features and short red hair. " Fei Ling do you know why you are here?" Fei long asked with the same stern expression, even though Fei Ling could guess the reason, he replied " No idea." Then a loud shout was heard "Ridiculous! Look at what you've done to my son!" Fei Hong Shouted angrily. " Hush!" Fei Long shouted while giving Fei Hong a fierce gave, causing him to become meek. Fei Long then turned to Fei ling and asked " Did you cause these injuries to Fei Hong?" he stated while pointing at the scrapes on Fei Hong and him still holding his stomach. " Yes." Fei Ling answered truthfully with no Change to his expression. " See patriarch he even admitte-" " I told you to stay silent!" Fei Long should while becoming visibly angry at his repeated outbursts. He then turned to Fei Ling and calmly asked " Why." Fei Ling then narrated the previous events and didn't forget to add " If I hadn't had such a lucky breakthrough, who knows what would've happened to me." Fei Tong didn't even try to deny this and stated " Yeah, but look at what you did to me!" With an aggrieved face. " I only hit you once, how is it my fault your so weak." Fei Ling coldly replied "You." Is all Fei Tong could reply after realizing that was true. Fei Long then stated " It is now pretty obvious who started this, Fei Ling you may now leave" glancing toward Fei Hong and Fei Tong, he continued with an icy tone " You two stay." All three of them replied with a simple yes, then Fei Ling got up to leave. "!!!!" While leaving Fei Ling felt a cold killing intent lock onto him coming from Fei Hong. Fei Ling instantly marked this man as a must kill target but continued to walk as if nothing happened. He then returned to his room to continue cultivating.
