"Lingxi, your mother is truly amazing."
After witnessing Gu Mingyuan's strength, Chu Feng's heart was filled with admiration. He couldn't help but glance at Chu Lingxi, who stood before him.
"Chu Feng, so only my mother is amazing? What about me?"
Chu Lingxi looked at Chu Feng with a playful smile on her sweet face.
Immediately after, the aura within her body was released.
At that moment, the expressions of everyone present shifted.
Because Chu Lingxi's aura was identical to Chu Feng's — she was a Third Rank Martial Ancestor.
But one had to consider that the Chu Lingxi of years past had been considerably weaker than Chu Feng.
Even in terms of talent, while her performance back then was indeed impressive for the Great Thousand Upper Realm, when measured against the Ancestral Martial Starfield's standards, she couldn't be considered top-tier.
Yet now, she had reached the cultivation of a Third Rank Martial Ancestor — surpassing most of the younger generation of the Ancestral Martial Starfield.
For such a dramatic transformation, the first person people thought of was her mother, Gu Mingyuan.
"Lingxi, you really were hiding your true strength all along," Chu Feng said with a smile.
He and Chu Lingxi had a good relationship — among all the juniors of the Chu Heavenly Clan, they were arguably the closest.
After all, when the entire Chu Heavenly Clan had refused to accept Chu Feng, Chu Lingxi had been the very first to acknowledge him.
So seeing that she had achieved such a level of cultivation, Chu Feng was genuinely happy for her from the bottom of his heart.
"Hidden strength? It was really my mother who helped me. If anything, you're the impressive one — your cultivation was built entirely on your own efforts."
"But Chu Feng, cultivation and all that doesn't really matter to me. After coming out of seclusion, learning that you were still alive — now that's the best news," Chu Lingxi said to Chu Feng.
"Girl, thank you," Chu Feng said.
"For what?" Chu Lingxi asked.
"For your mother being willing to step in. That was your doing," Chu Feng said.
Everyone knew about the relationship between Gu Mingyuan and Chu Xuan Zhengfa.
But in truth, the Wanzhou Ancient Clan and the Chu Heavenly Clan were not on friendly terms.
Otherwise, the Chu Heavenly Clan wouldn't have been bullied by so many factions for all these years.
If they had the Wanzhou Ancient Clan's protection, who would have dared to oppress the Chu Heavenly Clan?
And today, Gu Mingyuan had not only helped the Chu Heavenly Clan out of their predicament — she had wiped out the Blood Devouring Hall in one fell swoop.
Chu Feng was certain that was entirely thanks to Chu Lingxi.
"Oh, is that all? I'm a member of the Chu Heavenly Clan too — my father and my grandfather are both part of the clan."
"But come to think of it, my mother being willing to come today really wasn't my doing."
"After I came out of seclusion and learned that you hadn't died, I wanted to come back and see you."
