When everyone saw Feng Tian suddenly break out in tears, they couldn't help revealing shocked looks.
That included Feng Huang and the Great Elder.
But of course, they were shocked for different reasons.
Lin Fan didn't know what to say after seeing Feng Tian suddenly break out in tears.
He had wanted to get the truth out of him, but that didn't mean that he wanted to see a little boy cry like this.
As he watched Feng Tian crying, he couldn't help feeling a bit bad about what he had done. But he could also tell that Feng Tian wasn't fake crying and was crying for real.
This was a child that truly missed his mother.
Deep inside of him, there was someone who had been watching the whole thing who was asking to come out. In fact, seeing Feng Tian cry like this, they were even demanding to come out.
If it wasn't for Lin Fan's firm rejection, they would have even broken the contract that they had with Lin Fan to come out now.
It was just a good thing that Lin Fan was much stronger than before and they couldn't forcefully break the contract between them.
So they had no choice but to watch from inside the pet storage space.
Lin Fan just silently watched Feng Tian crying for a bit, but he didn't lose his mind even though he did feel sorry for him.
After a while, when Feng Tian calmed down, Lin Fan looked at him and asked in a gentle voice, "Can you tell me if you think that your mom did anything wrong?"
Feng Tian looked at Lin Fan and for some reason, he couldn't help feeling a bit closer to him even though he was the one who had made him cry.
Feng Tian shook his head and said, "My mommy didn't do anything wrong. She just did what she had to to get her freedom." Then after a pause, he turned to look at Feng Huang and said, "It was all grandpa's fault that this even happened. If it wasn't for him forcing mommy, she wouldn't have left our tribe."
Feng Huang couldn't help revealing a bitter look when he heard this.
His grandson had basically thrown him under the bus with this sentence.
Even though he doted on him and did everything that he could to make him happy, his grandson still threw him under the bus like this. But it wasn't as if he couldn't understand where he was coming from.
It was indeed his fault that Feng Ling was driven away from the Red Phoenix Tribe and that she had to leave Feng Tian here to act as the successor.
So it could be said that it was all his fault that Feng Tian didn't have a mother to dote on him.
But being thrown under the bus like this still hurt, especially with how much he loved his grandson.
Lin Fan just calmly looked at Feng Tian and he could tell that this young boy was telling the truth.
So in the end, he asked, "Were you the one who came up with the idea of sending the envoy?"
Both the Great Elder and Feng Huang couldn't help knitting their brows when they heard this. The tone that his voice had, it was almost as if…he was planning on blaming everything on Feng Tian.
But even then, the Great Elder still suppressed Feng Huang. Though he did feel a bit disappointed with this Void God's successor.
Feng Tian looked up at Lin Fan and even though he couldn't see his face, he could feel something as well. It wasn't the same thing that Feng Huang and the Great Elder felt, it was something completely different.
It was almost as if he was testing him.
But Feng Tian didn't have anything to hide at this point since he had already spilled his guts.
So Feng Tian said, "Yes, I sent it to find my mom."
Lin Fan just looked at him in silence for a bit longer before finally giving a bitter laugh.
Both the Great Elder and Feng Huang couldn't understand why Lin Fan would give this bitter laugh, but they were both very tense since they could see that he was planning on doing something.
Lin Fan then raised his hand and brought it closer and closer to Feng Tian.
When Feng Huang saw this, he did all that he could to break free of the pressure the Great Elder put on him. However, there was a large difference in cultivation between them, so he couldn't do anything in the end.
But to their surprise, Lin Fan just put his hand on Feng Tian's head and patted him. Then Lin Fan asked, "Do you still want to meet your mother?"
All three of them revealed confused looks as they looked at Lin Fan, not understanding why he asked this question.
But Feng Tian was the one that reacted first.
He didn't understand why Lin Fan was asking this question, but he could feel that there was something strange about the way that he said it. It was as if it was giving him a bit of hope that he would soon be able to get what he had been wishing for.
So he just gave a nod in a daze.
Lin Fan gave a nod back before finally opening up the pet storage space for that one person who had been trying to come out the entire time.
As soon as the portal to the pet storage space was opened, there was a figure that rushed out. This figure didn't care about anyone else in the room as they ran right past
Lin Fan and picked Feng Tian up in their arms.
Feng Huang had wanted to do something to stop them, but the Great Elder was still suppressing him, so he couldn't do anything. But then he realized who this figure was and completely stopped struggling.
That was because this figure was a person that he couldn't be more familiar with…
Feng Tian was in a daze as he was being held.
He didn't know what was happening at first, but he didn't feel like struggling.
It was a familiar feeling as he was being held in these arms. It was as if he recognized the feeling of being hugged by this person, as if he had experienced something like this before.
But he just couldn't tell what this feeling was exactly because he was too lost in this feeling. He let himself be completely lost in the feeling of this hug as his body turned soft and he just relaxed completely.
As the two of them stood there, it was as if they were lost in their own world and no one could disturb them. Though, everyone was too dazed to disturb them in the first place.
But eventually, they came back to their senses.
Feng Huang found that he was no longer being suppressed by the pressure of the Great Elder and was about to take a step forward. However, before he could, Lin Fan looked at the Great Elder who was pulled back to his senses.
When Lin Fan pulled him back from his daze and he saw the look from Lin Fan, Feng Huang once again felt the pressure of the Great Elder falling on him.
He couldn't help glaring at Lin Fan for stopping him like this, but Lin Fan didn't care at all.
Instead, he looked at Feng Huang with a look that seemed to be saying, "Don't interrupt."
Feng Huang couldn't help revealing a bitter look on his face when he saw this, but he had no choice but to obey since he was being suppressed by the Great Elder.
Finally, after a long time, the two of them came apart from their hug.
Feng Tian had recognized what the feeling of this hug was and from that, he was able to recognize who the person hugging him was. As he looked up in disbelief, his eyes couldn't help growing wider and wider.
Then as he stared at this person with a look of absolute disbelief, he asked in a dazed voice, "Is it really you?"
The woman who had run out to hug him gave a nod as tears appeared in her eyes.
She had thought that this child would resent him for what she had done to him before, but she never thought that he would miss her so much that he would even go as far as sending an envoy to find her.
Of course the one that had been released from the pet storage system was Feng Ling.
After seeing this nod, Feng Tian ignored everything to dive into her arms again as he hugged her tightly. With the way that he was hugging her, it was as if he thought that if he let go for a single second, she would disappear.
Lin Fan watched this with a happy smile on his face, but that smile didn't last since he could feel that Feng Huang wanted to say something.
This was something that couldn't be stopped, so he eventually gave a cough to bring Feng Ling and Feng Tian out of their own little world.
After they reacted, Feng Ling turned to look at Feng Huang, her father.
There was a look of resentment in her eyes as she looked at him.
Feng Huang felt the pressure on him relieving a bit, but he still wasn't able to move. At the very least though, he could speak.
So he said, "Why are you here?"
