Xianhai Shaoyu had once stated outright that no one in this world was worthy of his sister.
Yet now, he was saying he wanted Chu Feng to marry his sister.
Such recognition, to both Xianhai Xin'er and Xianhai Gusu, was not merely surprising — it was downright shocking.
"Brother Shaoyu, that's a joke you really ought not keep making."
But in response to Xianhai Shaoyu's words, Chu Feng simply smiled and shook his head.
"Brother Chu Feng, I'm being completely serious. This is no joke."
"I believe you are worthy of my sister. Besides, that sister of mine already has her heart set on you."
"Whether you like it or not, the two of you will end up together sooner or later."
"Unless..."
"You don't like my sister?"
Xianhai Shaoyu's eyes narrowed slightly.
The moment those words left his mouth, Xianhai Xin'er and Xianhai Gusu turned their gazes toward Chu Feng as well.
Not like Xianhai Yu'er?
In all this world, surely there couldn't be a man like that?
"Brother Shaoyu, you and I are brothers. However Little Fish stands in your heart, she stands the same way in mine."
"You see her as a sister, and so do I — nothing more."
Chu Feng said.
"This..."
Upon hearing those words, Xianhai Xin'er and Xianhai Gusu could scarcely believe their ears.
Chu Feng actually... truly didn't like Little Fish?
"If that's the case, then my foolish sister is rather pitiful, isn't she?"
"So it turns out her feelings were unrequited."
"But Brother Chu Feng, I understand. In your memory, my sister is still a child. It's only natural that you feel nothing toward a little girl."
"So don't make up your mind just yet. When the time comes and you see my sister again, you can decide then whether you like her or not. There's no rush."
Xianhai Shaoyu said.
Facing Chu Feng's attitude, not only did he harbor no anger whatsoever — he was entirely understanding.
"Brother Chu Feng, regardless of how you feel about my sister..."
"I, Xianhai Shaoyu, will always be your brother."
"Take this token and keep it safe. Should the opportunity arise, if you ever pass through my Xianhai Heavenly River, you must come visit my Xianhai Fish Clan."
As he spoke, Xianhai Shaoyu produced another token and handed it to Chu Feng.
One look was enough to tell that this token was crafted from exceedingly precious materials.
Moreover, within the token was concealed a unique formation. Thanks to that formation, no one would ever be able to forge a counterfeit.
The token had two sides. On the front were inscribed the words "Xianhai Fish Clan," and on the back were inscribed the words "Friend of Xianhai Shaoyu."
What function this token served, what weight it carried — without anyone needing to explain, Chu Feng already understood.
"Young friend Chu Feng, this token was personally commissioned by our clan's patriarch for His Highness the Young Master."
"Whoever holds this token may enter the territory of our Xianhai Fish Clan and not only receive the hospitality reserved for honored guests, but may also command our clansmen to serve as personal guards."
"Even our clan's elders must bow and offer their greetings upon seeing this token."
