"'Heartless'?"
He didn't quite understand why Xianhai Shaoyu had suddenly said those two words. It left Chu Feng feeling completely baffled.
"Don't tell me… you've even forgotten the name you once used?"
When Chu Feng looked somewhat lost, Xianhai Shaoyu spoke again.
"You…"
Upon hearing this, Chu Feng's expression changed dramatically. At the same time, his heart was no longer calm.
After Xianhai Shaoyu's reminder, Chu Feng finally understood why he had said the word "heartless."
Back when Chu Feng was still a youth, in order to rescue
But that was such a distant matter, and from the Lower Realm at that. Those who knew about it were all close friends of his from the Lower Realm.
As for Xianhai Shaoyu — though Chu Feng didn't know his true identity, he could guess without much effort that he likely didn't belong to the Sacred Light
Only such a powerful identity could befit Xianhai Shaoyu's actions.
Someone like Xianhai Shaoyu should have had absolutely no connection to the Chu Feng of those early days.
So how had Xianhai Shaoyu come to know about this?
"It seems you do remember."
Seeing Chu Feng's shocked reaction, Xianhai Shaoyu smiled, then said another sentence to Chu Feng.
"Then, do you still remember the little fish of the Boundless Blood Sea?"
The moment those words left Xianhai Shaoyu's mouth, it was like a massive hammer slamming into Chu Feng's head.
It left Chu Feng not only shocked but somewhat dazed.
Little Fish — how could Chu Feng possibly forget?
That was the doll-like child he had encountered within the Boundless Blood Sea in the Eastern Sea.
A very peculiar child.
Though their meeting had been brief, it had left an extraordinarily deep impression on Chu Feng.
"Shaoyu… who… who exactly are you?"
If the Chu Feng of moments ago had held the attitude that Xianhai Shaoyu's true identity was something he could share if he wished or keep to himself if he preferred — then now, Chu Feng desperately wanted to know who Xianhai Shaoyu really was.
And what exactly was his relationship with that child, Little Fish?
"Brother Chu Feng, my name wasn't a lie — but my surname was."
"My name is not Fumo Shaoyu. My real name is Xianhai Shaoyu."
"Xin'er is my clansman, and Lady Gusu is also my clansman."
"However, Xin'er is not my younger sister, and Lady Gusu is not my grandmother."
"Those were all fabricated relationships we invented specifically to deceive you."
"We all come from the same clan — the Xianhai Fish Clan."
"My father is the patriarch of the Xianhai Fish Clan, which is why both Xin'er and Lady Gusu addressed me as Young Master."
"And I have a younger sister who shares both my father and mother. Her name is
Xianhai Shaoyu explained to Chu Feng.
"Xianhai Yu'er… is Little Fish?"
"So you're Little Fish's brother?!"
Chu Feng asked.
Xianhai Shaoyu didn't answer directly, but he gave a tacit nod.
And when Chu Feng saw Xianhai Shaoyu nod, beyond the shock, what filled him even more was wild elation.
Chu Feng had already had a favorable impression of Xianhai Shaoyu and considered him a friend — otherwise he wouldn't have stepped through that barrier gate into the starry sky to rescue Xianhai Shaoyu despite knowing the danger.
But upon learning that Xianhai Shaoyu was actually Little Fish's brother, Chu Feng felt that Xianhai Shaoyu had become that much closer to him.
"Little Fish — is she doing well?"
Chu Feng asked excitedly.
He had thought he might never see Little Fish again in this lifetime.
But it seemed now that there might still be a chance to see that miraculous child again.
After all, Chu Feng had now learned Little Fish's true identity.
