"So as your elder, I hope you can turn your conflicts into friendships and take care of each other like real brothers from now on. What do you think?"
Tang Hao spoke to Ye Feng at this moment.
This was the purpose of his visit today.
"I have my own thoughts regarding these matters,"
Ye Feng said.
This was his principle and bottom line.
Even though the person standing before him was Tang Hao.
If it had been someone else, he would have turned hostile long ago.
'Get lost with your bullshit about being fellow villagers.'
Did he lift a finger to help when he was at death's door?
Now that he sees a future in me, he comes to me?
Ye Feng does not acknowledge it!
"But children inevitably make mistakes. Since we all come from the same village, why let things become so tense, right? As a father, I apologize on behalf of Xiaosan and hope that from now on you can try to be friends, be brothers—how about that?"
Tang Hao was speaking to Ye Feng in a kind manner at this moment.
He truly hoped that Ye Feng would put the past behind and reconcile with Xiaosan.
That way, Xiaosan would have an effective helper in the future rather than a formidable enemy!!
Because from every aspect, Xiaofeng seems to be superior to his son.
"Haotian Senior, this is the last time I will address you in such a manner. I hope you will not challenge my bottom line and principles. If it wasn't for my luck, would I still be standing here talking to you today?"
Ye Feng stared at Tang Hao.
This was his bottom line.
Even a Titled Douluo could not overstep it!!
"This... what would you like to do about this matter then?"
Tang Hao was troubled.
He did not expect Ye Feng to be so difficult.
But it was understandable.
After all, he almost lost his life in the Hunting Soul Forest.
It was natural for him to harbor resentment.
If there was anyone to blame, it was the deep-seated insecurities within Yu Xiaogang that led to this.
"He kneels before me and apologizes!!"
Ye Feng spoke without hesitation.
Fortunately, there were no other people here.
If there had been others who knew Tang Hao, they would certainly think Ye Feng had lost his mind.
Demanding the son of Hao Tian Douluo to kneel before him and apologize.
It's like the old man who seeks death by hanging himself because life's too long.
"You!"
Tang Hao never expected Ye Feng to say such arrogant words.
And to say them to his face.
"Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."
Having spoken, Ye Feng headed towards the camp.
He absolutely could not compromise on this matter.
So no matter who was in front of him, he still stood his ground.
"Sigh, I hope you will reconsider. After all, you are all from the same village and should support each other as companions, shouldn't you?"
Tang Hao sighed from behind.
By now, Ye Feng had walked far away.
"Xiaofeng! What happened!!"
As soon as he returned to the camp.
Ye Feng found that everyone had woken up.
And a large fire had been lit.
"Big brother, where have you been?"
Everyone asked him one after another.
"Why are you all awake? Don't you sleep in the middle of the night?"
Ye Feng looked at everyone, full of confusion.
"There were several explosions just now and they woke us all up. Then we woke up to find you gone, Brother Ye Feng,"
Pang Xing said at this moment.
The others nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, Xiaofeng, what were those explosions just now, and where were you?"
Ye Zhiqu asked.
"Oh, I heard those sounds too, so I went to check them out,"
Ye Feng came up with a seemingly appropriate reason.
So everyone chatted for a bit.
The night grew deeper.
Everyone returned to their tents.
And then settled down to sleep.
After receiving his reward, Ye Feng also rested.
Before long, it was the next day.
Early in the morning, the group had already encountered several soul beasts.
After a round of hunting, they obtained two more Soul Rings.
By the afternoon, everyone except Ye Feng had found all their Soul Rings.
It was simply miraculous.
Ye Zhiqu, who had led teams out many times, also felt surprised for the first time.
"Phoenix-tailed Crown Snake!"
As evening approached, they were walking through the forest.
Suddenly, a snake slithered out.
It soared past them like a carp leaping over the dragon gate.
"Xiaofeng! What do you think of this Phoenix-tailed Crown Snake? I think it would make a pretty decent Soul Ring!" Ye Zhiqu asked at this moment.
Now, only Ye Feng was left without a Soul Ring.
"This Phoenix-tailed Crown Snake is incredibly fast; if it could be used for a Soul Ring, it should add quite a lot of speed. Indeed, it is a good choice," Pang Xing said nearby.
"Eh, but it's still too young," Ye Feng shook his head slightly.
For them, the Phoenix-tailed Crown Snake would indeed make a nice third Soul Ring.
But for himself, it would seem like a step backwards.
After all, his second Soul Ring was countless times stronger than this Phoenix-tailed Crown Snake.
Moreover, with the Gold-Winged Great Peng Soul Bone, speed boosts were of minimal effect on him.
"All right then," the group conceded, knowing that for someone at Ye Feng's level, finding a Soul Ring was the most challenging part.
"Whoosh—"
At that moment, two figures burst forth.
"Hmm? Did you see a Phoenix-tailed Crown Snake?" asked an old woman and a young girl.
The old woman had an aura of coldness all around her.
Her words were filled with chilliness.
"Granny Snake Chaotian Xiang?" Ye Feng murmured softly.
"Oh, someone actually recognizes this old lady. Boy, where did that Phoenix-tailed Crown Snake go?!" Chaotian Xiang looked at Ye Feng.
An inexplicable pressure bore down upon him.
Chaotian Xiang was a Soul Emperor.
And the strongest in the team was none other than Ye Zhiqu!
A Soul King.
Therefore, Chaotian Xiang didn't take them seriously at all.
"It turns out that the Phoenix-tailed Crown Snake is yours. It's a pity that we let it go," Ye Feng said with a slight upward curve of his mouth.
Chaotian Xiang's condescending demeanor irked him for some reason.
"What did you say, boy?!" Chaotian Xiang's gaze turned colder instantly upon hearing that remark.
"Xiaofeng..." On the other side, Ye Zhiqu's heart was pounding.
Dammit, their luck was too good; they actually stumbled upon one of the Duo of Dragon Lord and Snake Granny.
It was said that Dragon Lord had been a Soul Douluo years ago.
And Snake Granny had already been a Soul Emperor in that era.
Who knew what level their opponent was now.
Provoking them was not a good sign.
"I meant that we don't know where the snake that you're looking for is. It might have been taken by someone else for all we know," Ye Feng shrugged.
Although the old woman's tone was annoying to him,
he still had to consider the nine younger students on his side.
Only God knew if that freak Dragon Lord was lurking around.
"Hmph! I, Tian Xiang, will remember this debt. Yi Ran, let's go!" Snake Granny glared fiercely at Ye Feng.
If it weren't for their concern about the Phoenix-tailed Crown Snake, she would have made this whippersnapper explain himself.
Snake Granny walked away.
"Xiaofeng, when we're out and about, it's best not to show off too much, otherwise, it could lead to trouble," Ye Zhiqu said to Ye Feng in a meaningful tone.
