“Murong Han, your nephew?” I exclaimed in surprise.
Sima Rui looked at us both with a hint of astonishment. “That Murong Han, isn’t he the Crown Prince of Yan who betrayed his country and fled to the Yuwen Tribe, only to be killed while being pursued?” He had heard of this matter long ago. So now what—
The Eldest Prince of Yan, then, isn’t he the brother of Sister Dan Yi?
I looked at her, unable to believe it. “So, Sister Dan Yi is also your niece?”
The Old Woman nodded lightly, avoiding Sima Rui’s gaze and focusing on me. “Murong Han did not die; that was a feigned death. It concerns the very existence of our Murong Family.”
“Feng Fei?” I gasped.
Her expression turned serious as she nodded. “Our Murong Family has always existed to help Feng Fei find his master. Both Yan and the Maya Sect need leaders—one in the light and one in the shadows—chosen from the descendants of the Murong Family. In this generation, many years ago, Murong Han was selected to become the Maya Priest, leading the Maya people. This meant that his identity was destined to disappear from this world, which is why he betrayed Yan and was said to have died while fleeing.”
I nodded in understanding. Throughout history, there had been many speculations about why Murong Han would betray his country, but none were definitive; he was often portrayed as a tragic figure. After joining the Yuwen Tribe, he faced jealousy and was driven away. His life had been one of constant flight, and now I realized there was more to this story.
She gazed intently at me. “I believe Han has already found a master for Feng Fei.”
I looked back at her calmly and replied, “Yes.”
Suddenly, she turned to Sima Rui and said, “You stay here for a while; I have something to discuss with her.” With that, she swept past me in an instant, disappearing before Sima Rui.
We arrived in a secret chamber furnished simply; I guessed this must be where she lived day-to-day. She placed me on the bed and then stepped back a few paces, kneeling before me. “The old woman pays her respects to her master.”
"What are you doing?!" I felt completely weak and powerless, recalling how I had tried to support her but was unable to. "If you keep this up, you'll really kill me. I can't take it."
She looked down and smiled, "I am the former Priest. Since Feng Fei has chosen a master, then I shall serve as the old woman's master."
So she was the original Priest? I couldn't comprehend the drastic change in her attitude. Wasn't she supposed to—make my life a living hell? Why was she acting like this now? I was confused.
As if sensing my bewilderment, she explained, "Although Feng Fei can protect you by merging with your body, before the fusion is complete, a certain stimulus is needed. The Soul Rebirth Pill is not poison; it is meant to replace your bones and meridians, making your body more perfect. However, this requires enduring pain that most people cannot withstand. I noticed that you care for that emperor, so I devised this plan. Please forgive me."
I see. I exhaled a breath of hot air, feeling my body relax. If what she said were true, I would have already bled out from all seven orifices and died. Thank goodness! Although I had been determined when taking it, I truly did not want to experience that kind of pain again; it could have cost me my life.
Just as I was relieved that I hadn't died, she suddenly said, "Please take on the great task of unification. My Yan Kingdom and the Maya People spread across the continent will assist you in unifying the world."
"What?" Unifying the world? What did that have to do with me?
"My Maya People are scattered across the continent. The first Chancellor of Later Qin, the current royal family of Jin State, and some small neighboring countries and officials are all Maya People hiding their power, waiting for hundreds of years for Feng Fei's return. And now you have appeared."
"The royal family?" My mind was still immersed in the historical phrase "The Wang family shares the world." Could it be that they assisted the Sima family in ascending to power but remained passive in court to hide their strength? I never imagined that so many renowned figures were actually guardians of Feng Fei among the Maya People.
She continued, "When the Qin Dynasty fell, the monarch entrusted all his power to a merchant he had always trusted—the Murong Family—who led the Maya People into hiding and handed over Feng Fei and the Holy Staff to us. We have been waiting patiently for your arrival so we can reclaim all that was unified during the Qin era. We have waited too long."
I was utterly stunned. "How could you believe in a myth? Perhaps I'm not the person you're looking for?"
She snorted lightly, "Isn't it true that you come from another world?"
I was taken aback. "What do you mean?"
"The Holy Word has been passed down, and the master found by Feng Fei will not be a person from this world. Could it be that the master is not from here?"
I was so shocked that I nearly forgot to close my mouth. After a long moment, I lowered my head, unsure of what to say. I fell into deep contemplation.
"Please, master, lead us to unify the world," the High Priest said.
Is this what they meant when they entrusted me with Feng Fei, that I would hold power over the world?
