Yafei, Yan Ruyu, and Murong Wan.
The three of them looked at Chu Feng, their gazes filled with complex emotions.
They remained silent, yet desperately wanted to speak.
It was as though they had a thousand things to say to Chu Feng, but didn't know how to put any of them into words.
Then again, it wasn't all that surprising—their relationship with Chu Feng had always been somewhat complicated.
But one thing was certain: no matter what grudges may have existed between them in the past, there was not a trace of hatred in the way the three women looked at Chu Feng now.
"Long time no see."
After a brief silence, it was Chu Feng who spoke first.
But the moment those words left his mouth, the three women's eyes reddened, and then—thump—all three of them dropped to their knees simultaneously.
"What are you doing?"
Startled, Chu Feng hurried forward and helped them back to their feet.
"Chu Feng, thank you for what you did for us."
Although Yan Ruyu and the other two stood up, their eyes were still brimming with gratitude.
The depth of their gratitude was as though Chu Feng had performed some earth-shattering feat.
"Me?"
"I didn't do anything."
"What's gotten into you?"
Chu Feng was utterly bewildered by their behavior, at a complete loss.
"Chu Feng, we know everything now."
"If it weren't for you, we never could have become our true selves again."
"Much less had this kind of opportunity."
Yan Ruyu and the other two spoke with heartfelt gratitude in their voices.
After a brief exchange, Chu Feng finally learned why Yan Ruyu and her companions were so grateful to him.
It was all because of that terrifying existence.
That terrifying existence had officially taken the three of them as disciples.
And the terrifying existence had told them something—the reason it was willing to bestow its power upon them, and the reason it had agreed to accept them as disciples, was all because of Chu Feng.
In short, even though it was the terrifying existence that had changed their lives, that very existence had credited it all to Chu Feng.
Though Chu Feng had no idea why the terrifying existence would do such a thing, there was no denying that, as far as Yan Ruyu and the other two were concerned, his standing in their hearts had shifted dramatically once again.
After all, they were all martial cultivators.
They all craved power.
But with their own natural talent, achieving what they had today would have been impossible.
And now, their bodies contained a tremendous force from ancient times. Once that power awakened, their talent would undergo a complete transformation, and their future accomplishments were beyond imagination.
In their eyes, this kind of grace was nothing short of the gift of a second life.
And this second life had been granted by Chu Feng.
Naturally, their gratitude toward him knew no bounds.
"Don't misunderstand—I'm not close with that person either."
