Naturally,
Upon hearing Chu Feng's words, everyone understood. Back then,
This so-called "same as ever" naturally meant that he was still locked up in those forbidden grounds.
"Sigh…" At that moment, the Clan Master of the
"But — it was precisely that kind of blood and fire in Xuanyuan that made him who he was."
"Perhaps this was simply fate."
From the Clan Master of the Gong Heavenly Clan's lament, everyone could sense that he held Chu Xuanyuan in very high regard.
It should be known that those who admired Chu Xuanyuan were not few in number, especially among the older generation. However, those who dared to openly praise Chu Xuanyuan were quite rare.
After all, everyone knew that the reason Chu Xuanyuan had ended up in such a state was because he had offended the overlord of the Ancestral Martial Star Domain — the Starfield Master World.
And within the Ancestral Martial Star Domain, daring to praise someone the Starfield Master World did not favor — that truly required a certain kind of courage.
"Young friend, did your Clan Master truly never mention to you the engagement between you and Mingyue?" the Clan Master of the Gong Heavenly Clan suddenly asked.
It was clear that he took this matter very seriously.
And so he had been very attentive to what Chu Feng had said earlier.
"Grandfather, I do not agree to this engagement."
But just then, a voice suddenly rang out from behind the Clan Master of the Gong Heavenly Clan — it was
"Mingyue, do not be frivolous. A matter of lifelong importance is not a game!" the Clan Master of the Gong Heavenly Clan snapped in anger.
"Precisely because it is a matter of lifelong importance, I should be the one to decide," Gong Mingyue said with firm resolve.
"This matter is not up for discussion," the Clan Master of the Gong Heavenly Clan said.
"Grandfather, you—"
"Fine. Even if you insist on choosing a fiancé for me, at the very least there should be one requirement — that his strength surpasses mine. And this Chu Feng… does he even have that kind of ability?" Gong Mingyue said.
"Well…" The Clan Master of the Gong Heavenly Clan did not know how to answer this question, because even he could not see through Chu Feng's cultivation. He had no idea what realm Chu Feng was at.
This was understandable. Although the Clan Master of the Gong Heavenly Clan was also a Venerable Realm expert, his mastery of the art of Spirit World was not particularly strong, and so his perceptive abilities were naturally not that keen.
And so, the Clan Master of the Gong Heavenly Clan turned his gaze toward Chu Feng.
He was hoping that this question could be answered by Chu Feng himself.
"Chu Feng, do you dare accept the challenge?"
At that moment, the members of the Gong Heavenly Clan not only directed their gazes toward Chu Feng one after another, but some even spoke up directly — and with provocative tones at that.
They naturally wanted Chu Feng to accept the challenge, because they felt that if he did, he would inevitably suffer a crushing defeat. And when that happened, this ridiculous engagement could naturally be dissolved.
After all, no matter how thick-skinned Chu Feng might be, he would hardly have the face to marry a woman who not only was unwilling to wed him, but also surpassed him in strength, right?
The onlookers also turned their gaze toward Chu Feng. They too wanted to take this opportunity to learn just what kind of strength Chu Xuanyuan's son possessed.
And in the face of everyone's expectant stares, Chu Feng simply smiled faintly. "There's no need to compete. I concede."
