"Girlfriend? Has a screw gone loose up there?" Chao Feng was confused why his brother would say such a thing.
"Brother, it really is too obvious." Chao Zheng shook his head. "Let's change the subject again, Liu Mel's brother is the one that demoted me to an outer disciple. Why did you want to know?"
"I wanted to know his name, because when I become stronger, I will surely avenge you." Chao Feng proclaimed.
Chao Zheng began to shake his head.
"Brother, talent is everything. On the road of cultivation, one needs a peerless level of talent to reach the peak, Liu Shai Lan has such a great level of talent and he is only two years your senior and the same age as me, yet he has reached the Golden Martial realm! How could you compete against such a figure?" Chao Zheng didn't want to say it out loud, but he was thinking about Chao Feng failing the Black Dragon Academy admission test, and from Chao Feng's results in that test, he was determining his talent.
"You don't need to worry, for your sake, I will surely reach such a peak, not through talent, but through hard work. However long it takes, I will make this Liu Shai Lan realise that if you treat others as below yourself and trod them underfoot, one day, the repercussions will be too great for you to endure. Especially if the victim of his unrighteousness is my, Chao Feng's, relative." Chao Feng clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, his aspirations were really quite admirable.
"Brother, when you speak like that, you make me believe that you can actually do such an unfathomable thing." Chao Zheng chuckled. "Anyways, how was your trip? Did you come across that myth of the mountain?"
"Brother, I still don't understand what is so special about this mountain. Sure, there are some dangerous beasts but what is the myth and the hidden danger that people keep on mentioning?" Chao Feng was genuinely curious.
"Sigh, brother. I'm sure that you know that our vast continent is called the Nine Peaks Continent, which covers a group of nine mountains, each with incomprehensible size and our province is the smallest and the weakest of the entire continent." Chao Zheng begun to tell a story. "However, in the old era, our Spectral Province was the largest province in the entire Nine Peaks Continent, and our strength even sent light ripples through the entire Eastern Grasslands."
"However, this wasn't because we as a province were strong, in fact, our strength in that time could be solely attributed to the past ruler of the Province, Lin Xuanyuan. Ancestor Xuanyan was so strong that his mere aura could kill even Golden Martials, he was truly a dragon amongst men."
"However, one day, he ventured into the Rocky Stone Mountain and suddenly disappeared! The people who were there with him stated that he was suddenly engulfed by a strange white light, and when he was gone from their sight, they fled from sheer fear."
Chao Feng's eyes widened and Chao Zheng continued.
"This the myth, the hidden danger and the legend of Rocky Stone Mountain, and this is why we were so hesitant in letting you go. After all, someone disappears every year. To have such a strength, to be able to instantly remove such a peerless figure from the earth, it is not something we can ever truly comprehend."
"White light? Is it the light that I saw? Is that old man this Lin Xuanyuan? Why was I let out when others were not?" Chao Feng's mind began to race with thoughts and questions that with his current strength, he could not answer.
He didn't show that he was confused and just nodded his head before he also reminded: "Brother, you mustn't think like that. If this Lin Xuanyuan was able to do it, why can't we? What's stopping us?"
Chao Zheng chuckled and also nodded his head. "Brother, I need to go now. I will surely gain some huge benefits from this mountain! Oh, that's right, how successful was your trip?"
After saying that, in Chao Zheng's eyes, there was a faint sense of expectance, after all, during their long conversation, he had many times expressed his ambition and relentlessness, so Chao Zheng wanted to see whether his actual skills matched his mouth.
Chao Feng got the sack from his back and held it in front of him, opening it and showing Chao Zheng the contents.
"Huh? Wow, how did you manage to obtain this?" Chao Zheng was absolutely shocked, Chao Feng had only been on the mountain for a few days, and he had managed to amass that amount of cultivation medicine?
Compared to his previous strength when he just became a cultivator to now, if one saw the progress, he would simply be considered a monster amongst those in the Origjn realm.
"Brother, now I have no doubts. Your talent is enough to reach the Martial Servant realm, maybe you can even reach the Golden Martial realm!" Chao Zheng patted Chao Feng's shoulder.
"The Golden Martial realm? I will definitely go further." Chao Feng thought, but he simply nodded on the outside.
"Brother, I will return home now and prepare for the family gathering." Chao Feng said, before glancing at the tree he tied Li Fei to and realising that his horse wasn't there!
"Who did this?" Chao Feng gritted his teeth and Chao Zheng noticed, he looked over and also realised that Li Fei was gone.
"Li Fei is gone?" He also gritted his teeth in anger as he muttered.
"Oh, so this beauty's name is Li Fei? Thanks, I guess."
At that instant, an arrogant and cocky voice sounded just beyond the tree.
A young man, no older than nineteen strolled out, while exuding the aura of a cultivator with a large grin on his face.
In his left hand, there was nothing.
In his right hand, Li Fei's luscious mane was actually forcefully being pulled by him!
