Chapter 525: The Real Reason (Part One)
The fact that his dreams were realized by someone else was cruel yet fortunate.
This warden didn't see Fei battle and destroy enemies with his own eyes, but that didn't stop him from making Fei his idol. However, due to his low status, he didn't tell others that his idol was King Alexander; he felt like he wasn't even qualified to make the Head Commander and the Spiritual Pillar of Dual-Flags City his idol.
In the morning when he heard that King Alexander was going to come to the prison to interrogate the prisoners, he was so excited that he also jumped out of his chair.
To him, being able to see his idol from afar was already a dream come true.
When he finally met Fei and was fortunate enough to act as the tour guide, he felt unprecedentedly calm. He kept telling himself, "Yeah, only such a handsome young man who is beloved by all G.o.ds could become a hero to many!"
Therefore, when he heard Tony shouting at Fei, this warden swung his whip. A part of the reason was that he had been working this job for a long time, and he was used to punishing prisoners who were disobeying the rules viciously. Also, he was trying to do all that he could to protect his idol.
However, after a few whips, this warden regretted his decisions.
He suddenly remembered that King Alexander wasn't a cruel and vicious man.
"Perhaps what I did didn't protect His Majesty's honor but rather stained it. His Majesty is bright and straightforward, but what I did is evil," he thought.
As he kept on regretting his decision, he heard Fei's comment.
That suddenly acceptance stunned this warden who was doing self-reflection. Then, he got extremely excited. At that moment, he felt like his mind turned blank He forced himself to hold onto the emotion he was feeling and didn't lose himself. However, he was now worshipping Fei who was like a G.o.d in his mind.
Even the four half-naked warders felt some warmth after hearing what Fei said.
"You are just trying to fool me!" [Snow Mountain Hermit] suddenly laughed and shouted after a moment of silence, "The honor of warriors should be realized on the battlefield. You shouldn't be staining a warrior's body using these dirty torture instruments. Hahaha, King of Chambord, the fact that you are punishing a warrior this way is a sign that you have fallen. It looks like you are no longer a respectable warrior! You are no longer a real n.o.bleman! Hahaha! I also discovered one of your secrets! Hahaha, you are involved with Undead Mages! That little guy is an Undead Bone Dragon in human skin, right? Haha, you will one day be placed on the burning cross on the Saint Mountain of the Holy Church. Hahaha……"
A strange smile appeared on Fei's face as he said, "Huh? Undead Magic? What are you talking about? Undead Bone Dragon? What? Are you talking about a novel?…… Wait, are you trying to throw dirt on me? Such a dirty yet basic framing technique. Do you think it will be useful?"
"Framing? Throwing Dirt? Hahaha, if that d.a.m.n kid didn't use Undead Energy, how could I be captured by someone who is on my level? His evil Undead Energy is currently suppressing my Warrior Energy! I lost my combat ability because the Undead Energy blocked my energy channels! Hahaha! King of Chambord, pray! One day, the masters of the Holy Church will discover this. They will come here and reveal your real ident.i.ty. By then, the entire Zenit Empire will crumble and fall because of you! Hahahaha! Although you captured us, you exposed yourself! You are witnessing your death!"
"Really? I'm so scared! What should I do?" Fei put on a terrified expression.
"There is only one way. If you let us go, we will help you out and say that we were injured by an Undead Energy Trap in the Mythical Palace. After all, I don't want to get too involved with the Holy Church either. This is your best option. Otherwise…… Hehe, we will die together! Your ending won't be much better than mine!" [Snow Mountain Hermit] said as he laughed loudly; the feeling of threat and revenge filled his face.
"Oh? Really? You reminded me. However, I have another option. Why don't I kill you two right now and dispose of your bodies?" Fei's bright and confident smile made his prisoners a little uncomfortable.

Chapter 525: The Real Reason (Part Two)
"King of Chambord, you are smart. You know that the thick Undead Energy sensation would be left here even if you kill us. By then, you won't be able to explain yourselves even if you have 100 mouths." [Snow Mountain Hermit] said slowly yet firmly.
"Oh, thank you for your praise. Perhaps I will reconsider your suggestion. However, I want to talk about something else." Fei looked at Tony who was struggling and laughed, "To be honest, I been curious. Since someone like Prince Fairenton truly likes you, it means that you aren't an idiot. But why are you treating this Tony like a treasure? Why did you use everything you have to pull him into the Moon-Cla.s.s? Could it be that you are the only person who couldn't see that he is a piece of trash? Why are you still protecting him after he betrayed you?"
[Snow Mountain Hermit]'s face changed color when Fei brought up this topic. He snorted and didn't say anything.
"Haha, since you are not willing to say it, then let me take a guess. Perhaps…… This trash in front of me is not only your disciple but also your son? This makes a lot more sense now!" Fei sat down on the stone chair and said with a slight smile on his face.
[Snow Mountain Hermit] was stunned. "Why do you know?…… That is none sense! You……"
"What? You don't want to admit? Alright, I have to admit that I was shocked this information in the beginning as well. However, this is the only explanation to why you favor this trash-like person…… The fatherly love sure is great; it is great enough to turn the wise ruler of a Cultivation Saint Land to a selfish and idiotic person who couldn't even make good decisions. Oh, please don't take it the wrong way. I'm not trying to make fun of you."
"You……" [Snow Mountain Hermit] lost all of his calm.
Even though he was usually calm and collected, he got anxious at the moment. This secret that he kept for a long time got exposed just like that! As if a healed scar was torn open again, this suddenly change took him by surprise, and he lost his cool.
After seeing his expression, everyone in this cell realized that Fei was stating the fact.
Tony who was shaking out of fear and resentment suddenly stopped.
At this moment, this young man felt like he suddenly understood everything; all of the questions on his mind were solved.
"No wonder master forgave my reckless mistakes and helped me so many times. He used his own Warrior Energy to help me increase in levels, and he even used the only Perfect-grade Magic Gem and other treasures and array formations of Big Snow Mountain to advance me from an Eight-Star Warrior to a New Moon Elite……"
This reason explained everything.
"Save me! Father! Save me! You have to save me!" Like a drowning person who grabbed onto a life-saving straw, Tony struggled and shouted.
"Eh……" [Snow Mountain Hermit] sighed, and it felt like he aged more than a dozen years in that second. After a long while, he looked up and said in disappointment, "Your Majesty, I'm sure that you aren't here to talk about this little matter alone. What are your requests? I will agree to all of them. Even if you want me to tell the people of the Holy Church that I'm an Undead Mage, I will do so and help you cover up the Undead Energy here. Even if you want to kill me, I will let you without fighting back. I will do anything you want if you can let Tony go this time."
The fatherly love was just too great. What [Snow Mountain Hermit] said indirectly confirmed the relationship between him and Tony.
At this moment, he was completely defeated by Fei.
After he said that, [Snow Mountain Hermit] looked at Fei and waited for the King's response.
TL NOTE: The truth is spilled! But I feel like most of you guys already guessed it.
