Chapter 1519 - 1366: My Younger Brother Is a Villain 63
Ever since Feng Feiyu heard about meeting Nie Jinglin together with Nie Shuangshuang, his feelings had been complex, evolving into a subconscious avoidance when he finally saw Nie Jinglin.Feng Feiyu’s feelings towards Nie Shuangshuang were actually quite simple; initially, there was some jealousy—jealousy that she could grow up by their father’s side. Later, there was expectation, hoping that Nie Shuangshuang, as his sister, would be kind to him.
These feelings were all subconscious in Feng Feiyu’s mind, and he might not even fully comprehend them. His tangled emotions created a very complicated feeling.
So at the beginning of getting close to Nie Shuangshuang, besides those complex feelings, there was also a hint of malice. Although this malice wouldn’t cause Feng Feiyu to truly harm Nie Shuangshuang, he did feel slightly unhappy with her.
He always felt that fate was unjust—the same father and mother, yet one was pampered and elevated while the other suffered hardships and met a tragic end. This contrast left him feeling unsettled.
Yet behind the dissatisfaction and the difficulty in accepting this unfairness was an even stronger desire to connect with this sister, wanting her eyes to reflect his presence.
That’s why Feng Feiyu used all means possible to become Nie Shuangshuang’s disciple, although now his subtle malice had disappeared in Nie Shuangshuang’s affection.
However, Feng Feiyu’s feelings towards Nie Jinglin were even more complex. In his previous life, he had only learned about his father right before dying and felt a sense of resentment.
Resenting why Nie Jinglin hadn’t found him earlier, being the Sect Leader of Heavenly Mechanism, how could he not find someone?
But there was also a sense of warmth. When he was shunned by others and infamous, Nie Jinglin had directly acknowledged him as his son, completely fearless of being implicated.
At that moment, Feng Feiyu truly felt Nie Jinglin’s familial affection and concern for him, thus having a better impression of him than of Nie Shuangshuang, his sister.
In this life, after being reborn, Feng Feiyu couldn’t untangle his feelings for Nie Jinglin, so he simply followed his heart, staying away from Nie Jinglin, initially approaching Nie Shuangshuang, whose feelings were less complex.
Since successfully becoming a disciple, Feng Feiyu was deeply moved by Nie Shuangshuang and followed her everywhere, momentarily putting aside his feelings about Nie Jinglin.
During this time, dealing with the Evil Cultivators further occupied Feng Feiyu’s mind with concern for Nie Shuangshuang, momentarily forgetting his father, Nie Jinglin.
As a result, suddenly brought to meet Nie Jinglin by Nie Shuangshuang, Feng Feiyu, mentally unprepared, was in a state of confusion throughout.
Upon seeing Nie Jinglin, Feng Feiyu awkwardly approached to greet him and then silently hid behind Nie Shuangshuang, trying to avoid looking at Nie Jinglin.
Nie Jinglin was unaware of Feng Feiyu’s complex thoughts but, perhaps due to fatherly instinct, felt quite fond of him at first glance.
Especially thinking that if his son hadn’t died, he’d be about the same age as Feng Feiyu, increasing his affection towards Feng Feiyu.
Seeing Feng Feiyu hiding behind Nie Shuangshuang didn’t bother him much; he assumed Feng Feiyu’s introverted nature after sensing his cultivation, which had already reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, nodding in approval.
Though aided by the daughter’s encounters, sufficient talent was still required; otherwise, the opportunities would be wasted, and such talent justified being his daughter’s disciple.
Nie Jinglin reached out his hand, revealing a small blue bell with golden runes in his palm, placing it before Feng Feiyu and smiling gently, "This is the Silence Bell.
Although it’s a Magic Artifact now, it’s a growable artifact, which you can bond with it so it can grow along with your cultivation.
Since you’ve been practicing the Sound Technique, this Silence Bell can precisely complement your usage, combining offense and defense, hopefully aiding you in warding off enemies and keeping you safe."
Taking the bell from Nie Jinglin’s hand, Feng Feiyu felt deeply touched, remembering having mentioned his acceptance of the Sound Dao heritage only once through Nie Shuangshuang’s returning message to Nie Jinglin.
Yet Nie Jinglin had taken note and specially prepared the precious growable Magic Artifact for him; such artifacts always came at a high price and scarcity.
Being growable meant accompanying the owner’s cultivation progress, and even at the Golden Immortal level, this artifact would become an Immortal Artifact; materials for such artifacts were exceptionally rare premium quality.
It was truly immense; Feng Feiyu couldn’t help but look at Nie Jinglin, who was warmly gazing at him, eyes filled with tender joy.
After a glance, Feng Feiyu quickly lowered his head again, holding the Silence Bell tightly, "Thank you, Master, for granting the bell."
Lowering his head, Feng Feiyu missed the momentary dazed expression on Nie Jinglin’s face upon seeing him look up—this child indeed bore some resemblance.
Seeing Feng Feiyu’s face reminded him of his deceased beloved wife Feng Hai Zhen, leading thoughts towards the still missing son, lowering his mood.
Nie Shuangshuang immediately understood what was in Nie Jinglin’s mind. Initially, she had very faint impressions of her mother Feng Hai Zhen, as she cultivated mostly in front of her Master Lingtian True Monarch since young, rarely seeing her mother.
The original Nie Shuangshuang though missed her mother, believed her father’s words that cultivators had long timelines, so even if not seen for a while, a long reunion was inevitable one day, not rushing.
Thus, Nie Shuangshuang focused on cultivation, thought someday she could reunite with her mother, and didn’t think much of the separation, even as the likeness of her mother’s face faded from memory with focused cultivation.
Unfortunately, fate was unpredictable; before Nie Shuangshuang had a chance for eternal reunion, her mother died, along with the brother she never met disappearing completely—a thunderbolt in clear skies.
After her mother’s death, without any Memory Stone left behind, Feng Hai Zhen became increasingly vague in Nie Shuangshuang’s memory, to the point of recalling only a gentle woman’s figure, with features blurred away.
Because of this, when she saw Feng Feiyu, there wasn’t much feeling, unlike Nie Jinglin, who at once recognized an apparent familiarity due to cherished memories of Feng Hai Zhen.
Mainly because Nie Jinglin loved Feng Hai Zhen so much made this familiarity stand out more, despite Feng Feiyu not resembling much, the aura and temperament were akin.
Seeing Nie Jinglin saddened and troubled, Nie Shuangshuang was unsure how to comfort, recalling Feng Feiyu’s frequent misunderstanding that Nie Jinglin hadn’t sincerely searched for him.
Therefore, she addressed Nie Jinglin, "By the way, father, you mentioned news of my brother when you left, intended to check on, any sign or trace of him found?"
