Since they were taking both Feng Yu and Xiao Huo with them, Feng Huang and Feng Tian followed their group back to the elder hall.
The Great Elder had tried to get them away since he knew that they were against the engagement in the first place, but he couldn't help being surprised by how insistent the two of them were.
He could see in their eyes that they were even willing to fight to the death if they weren't allowed to come.
So the Great Elder had no choice but to allow them to come with them.
When they arrived, they were promptly shown to the elder hall since the Great Elder had already sent one of the elite guards back to report on what happened at the Red Phoenix Tribe.
When they came in, they found that all of the elders were there with excited and expectant looks on their faces.
Once they came in, all of the elders quickly released their spiritual senses to sweep the group.
However, it was very clear who they were looking for.
After their spiritual senses swept over them, all of them focused on a single member of this group.
Xiao Huo.
If it wasn't for the fact that Feng Huang, Feng Tian, Feng Ling, and Feng Yu were here, they wouldn't have cared about their prestige and would have run over to grab Xiao Huo. They wanted to check every part of this body since this was their precious true descendant.
Lin Fan had already seen this when he had brought Xiao Feng to meet the Dragon Race elders, but the ones from the Red Phoenix Tribe couldn't help being taken aback by all of this.
Finally, after they had satisfied their curiosity, the elders calmed down.
The two Great Elders that had remained were the ones that had been the most excited about this.
The Great Elder that came with them went back to his seat and sat down beside the other two. The three of them discussed a few things before turning back to look at Lin Fan.
The two Great Elders who remained looked at Lin Fan with bitter smiles as one of them said, "Void God's successor, you really can't stop giving us big surprises one after another, can you?"
The other Great Elder said, "Of course, this is a happy occasion, but can you at least tell us ahead of time so that we can prepare ourselves?"
Lin Fan just looked back at them with a faint smile on his face.
When they saw this smile on his face, they knew what he was trying to say.
They looked over at Feng Ling on the side and they couldn't help letting out sighs.
They knew that Lin Fan had done this because of Feng Ling's relationship with the Red Phoenix Tribe. Feng Ling was someone that followed Lin Fan and before he knew what kind of relationship the Red Phoenix Tribe had with her, he couldn't reveal anything.
Otherwise, if things went wrong, he wouldn't have a trump card.
It was all about planning for the worst case scenario.
The Great Elders understood this, but they still couldn't help feeling wronged. But they didn't blame this matter on Lin Fan…they blamed this matter on Feng Huang and Feng Tian since they were the ones that had instigated everything.
If it wasn't for the envoy that they had sent to the Lin Astral Empire, none of this would have happened.
However, one thing that they had neglected was that if it wasn't for this envoy in the first place, Lin Fan wouldn't have come to the Phoenix Race.
So everything was still related in terms of cause and effect.
But they didn't have any intentions of punishing the Red Phoenix Tribe since there was something that they had done right.
Feng Yu.
With the engagement of Feng Yu and Xiao Huo, that would mean tying the true descendant to their Phoenix Race.
This also meant that there would be prosperity for the Red Phoenix Tribe since the Great Elders wouldn't let Feng Yu's tribe fall while she was married to the true descendant. They would make sure that it lasted long and was prosperous to tie the true descendant even closer to their Phoenix Race.
So if there was someone that stood in the way of this engagement, they would be the first ones to stop them.
It was a pity that the ones that wanted to stop this engagement the most were the ones that would have benefitted from it the most. The ones that wanted to stop this engagement were Feng Tian, the new head of the Red Phoenix Tribe, and Feng Huang, the ex head of the Red Phoenix Tribe.
The two of them were just standing there in awe since it was a rare opportunity for them to be in the presence of the elders, but both of them were glaring at Xiao Huo out of the corner of their eyes.
It was just too bad for them that the elders had no intentions of slowing down.
The Great Elder that had gone with Lin Fan to the Red Phoenix Tribe suddenly asked, "When are you planning on having them tie the knot?"
When this was said, the two other Great Elders and all of the other elders all revealed looks of support and started giving different suggestions.
As Feng Huang and Feng Tian heard this, their faces couldn't help looking like dying ashes.
But on the other side, Feng Yu's face was covered in a blush. However, there was an expectant look in her eyes as if she could already see her own wedding.
Finally, the elders settled down and the Great Elders said, "This wedding will be an important affair to the entire Phoenix Race, so you can be certain that you will have the support of the entire Phoenix Race. We will make sure that it is an extravagant event."
All of the elders nodded in agreement to this with happy smiles on their faces.
That was when Feng Huang and Feng Tian finally couldn't take it anymore.
Their patience and respect for the elders finally snapped under the pressure of this impending engagement.
Feng Huang and Feng Tian both shouted at the same time, "I don't agree to this engagement!"
In the middle of this festive atmosphere, when these two suddenly shouted out, it created a big scene where everyone suddenly turned to look at them.
After making sure that they had heard what they had heard, the elders and Great Elders all suddenly knitted their brows as they looked at the two of them. It was as if they were looking at idiots who couldn't understand when something was good for them.
There were many elders who were even planning on beating up these two so that they would understand, but they didn't get that chance in the end. The one who beat these two first…was Feng Yu.
She had been happily dreaming about her wedding when she suddenly heard this outburst. When she did, she immediately turned to look at the two of them with looks of fury and she raised her hand without hesitation to slap the two of them.
They could only let themselves suffer under the slaps of this small hand.
Lin Fan watched with a bitter smile for a bit before turning to the Great Elders to ask, "Can I discuss something with you?"
The Great Elders had also been watching this with bitter smiles on their faces, but they immediately turned to Lin Fan when they heard his words.
Without hesitation, they agreed to discuss whatever he wanted to discuss with them.
Lin Fan asked, "Do you know where the Phoenix Stone is?"
When the three Great Elders heard this, they couldn't help being taken aback.
They looked at Lin Fan with a strange look, almost as if they were wondering just how he knew about this thing. But they also quickly recovered in the end and nodded to show that they did know what this thing was.
The Great Elder in the center said, "The Phoenix Stone has been passed down for generations through our Phoenix Race and it is one of the greatest treasures left behind by our ancestor."
When Lin Fan heard this, he couldn't help revealing a bitter smile.
That was because what they had just said made it hard for him to say his next words.
But in the end, he still had to say it.
"Can I have that Phoenix Stone?" Lin Fan asked in a calm voice.
The Great Elders were once again taken aback by this forward question, but they nodded in agreement after calming down.
Lin Fan couldn't help being surprised by just how quickly they had agreed to this.
Seeing the confused look on his face, the Great Elders explained, "The ancestor had already passed down instructions that the Phoenix Stone would be taken by the Void God's successor one day, so we would have to give it to them when they came."
Lin Fan gave a sigh of relief when he heard this.
If he had to steal a treasure of the Phoenix Race…that wouldn't be something that he would want to do.
The Great Elders saw the look on his face and couldn't help smiling.
Then one of them asked, "To know of the Phoenix Stone, did you receive some instructions from the ancestor?"
Lin Fan just looked at him with a difficult look, but he didn't say anything in the end.
He might have told them if it wasn't the system that had led him to the statue, but since it was the system, he couldn't just talk about it.
Seeing this look on his face, the Great Elders all revealed understanding looks and didn't ask anything else about this.
