Chapter 3155: Changed Attitudes (12)

"This brother, so young yet so impressive — truly hiding his light under a bushel. I must say, I'm impressed."

"You said your name is Chu Feng?"

"But how come I've never heard your name before?" the man at the seventh level of Heavenly Immortal asked.

He showed not the slightest hint of anger over his failed attack against Chu Feng.

Quite the opposite — once he had confirmed that Chu Feng's strength surpassed his own, his attitude toward Chu Feng actually became even more courteous than before.

"I only recently returned to the Chu Heavenly Clan," Chu Feng said.

"Recently returned to the clan?" Hearing this, the others grew even more puzzled.

"You said your name is Chu Feng?" Suddenly, one of the men seemed to recall something, and he asked Chu Feng once more for confirmation.

"That's right," Chu Feng said.

"That name does ring a bell." Even the arrogant woman's tone had softened considerably. She then said with a half-joking smile, "You're not — by any chance — the son of Senior Chu Xuanyuan, are you?"

"I am, in fact, Chu Xuanyuan's son," Chu Feng said.

"WHAT?!!"

Those words hit like a bolt of lightning — the shock far surpassed even what Chu Feng's displayed strength had managed to provoke.

"You're saying you're Chu Xuanyuan's son? Is that true? You're really Chu Xuanyuan's son?" the woman pressed, firing off questions one after another.

"My father is indeed Chu Xuanyuan," Chu Feng said with a smile.

"This…"

At that moment, many members of the Dongguo Heavenly Clan exchanged stunned glances, their faces thoroughly blanketed with astonishment.

Chu Xuanyuan's son — that was no small matter.

Now it finally made sense to them why Chu Feng was so different from the other members of the Chu Heavenly Clan.

"Young Master Chu Feng, my name is Dongguo Hangyi. Please forgive my earlier offenses — I meant no disrespect," the man at the seventh level of Heavenly Immortal said.

"My name is Dongguo Yue. I was only joking with you earlier — please don't take it to heart," the woman added with a smile.

One after another, the five people at the city gate introduced themselves to Chu Feng.

The change in their attitude was nothing short of night and day.

"Chu Feng, it seems your father's name carries quite a bit of weight," the Queen remarked, unable to resist a tease. "Perhaps it'll serve as your protective talisman in the future."

"Exactly," the Queen continued, her voice dripping with amusement. "The fact that they're acting this way only proves how powerful your father was back then. I hope that one day, I'll be able to reach those same heights," Chu Feng replied with a sigh.

Shortly after, Chu Feng was invited into the Dongguo Heavenly Clan's city.

It was there that he finally met the strongest genius of the Dongguo Heavenly Clan within the Ancestral Martial Cultivation Realm.

But what surprised Chu Feng was this:

In the world of martial cultivators, most men's talent tended to surpass that of women. As a result, the strongest among them were usually men.

Yet the strongest genius of the Dongguo Heavenly Clan was a woman.

She appeared to be nearing three hundred years of age, though her face looked like that of a young woman in her early twenties.

However, she was far from striking in appearance — quite plain, in fact. Even Dongguo Yue, who had given Chu Feng a hard time outside the city gate, was what he would call moderately pretty. But compared to this woman, Dongguo Yue could definitely be considered a beauty.

Though this woman's looks were ordinary, she possessed an extraordinary presence and bearing.

As for her cultivation — Chu Feng couldn't see through it at all. He estimated that to lead the Dongguo Heavenly Clan and hold a place of standing in the Eastern Region of the Ancestral Martial Cultivation Realm, she had to be at least at the Martial Immortal level.

Her name was Dongguo Bingyu.

At that moment, inside the grand palace, only Chu Feng and Dongguo Bingyu remained.
