Chapter 4408: The Old Rogue

After a long journey, Chu Feng finally returned to the Sacred Light Galaxy and made his way back to the Dragon Clan.

However, Chu Feng didn't want the old Daoist to worry, so he deliberately put on the clothes that the Dao Sea Fairy had gifted him and wore the mask to conceal his current disfigured appearance.

Normally, someone showing up to the Dragon Clan through the teleportation formation while completely covered up like this would have been treated as an intruder and immediately apprehended.

Fortunately, the Dragon Clan's Clan Master, to make things easier for Chu Feng's comings and goings, had already given him a special identity token back when Chu Feng had departed.

Once the clan members saw that token, they recognized who Chu Feng was. Not only did they not cause him any trouble, but they even followed his instructions and led the way for him.

Along the journey, Chu Feng had already learned about the current situation within the Dragon Clan.

The old Daoist's injuries had improved, and Yu Ting, who had been waiting for them outside, had been brought into the Dragon Clan as well.

As for Long Xiaoxiao, although most of the Dragon Clan members didn't know about what had happened to her, her current physical condition was actually quite excellent.

Chu Feng guessed that the girl had likely already merged with the Source of the Dragon Vein.

It was worth noting that both Long Xiaoxiao and Yu Ting were currently at the place where the old Daoist was resting.

When they arrived outside this domain, the person guiding Chu Feng stopped.

This area was now a restricted zone.

Aside from the Dragon Clan's Clan Master and Long Xiaoxiao, only the Grand Elders were permitted to enter. No one else within the Dragon Clan was allowed to set foot in this place.

Of course, Chu Feng was an exception.

The domain was vast, but after entering, Chu Feng quickly spotted the figures of the old Daoist and Yu Ting in a garden.

The radiance of barrier energy spread throughout the garden.

The old Daoist was teaching Yu Ting how to set up formations. From the looks of it, the two of them had gotten along quite well during the days Chu Feng had been away.

More importantly, the old Daoist's physical condition was excellent.

Seeing him so healthy, the weight finally lifted from Chu Feng's heart.

After all, even if the old Daoist's injuries were to relapse now, there was nothing to fear.

Chu Feng had returned with that celestial treasure.

"You're back."

The old Daoist had already sensed Chu Feng's arrival, so before Chu Feng could even speak, he looked up toward the sky in the direction where Chu Feng was.

At the sound of the old Daoist's voice, Yu Ting quickly looked up as well and caught sight of Chu Feng.

Upon seeing him, the reserved young woman said nothing, but a faint smile appeared on her face.

It was clear that she was happy about Chu Feng's return.

"Why are you still wearing that mask?"

But upon seeing Chu Feng's current appearance, the old Daoist's brows furrowed slightly.

The experienced old man immediately sensed that something was off.

"I went through some things. Wearing the mask is helpful for me."

Chu Feng said with a smile.

Swish—

But no sooner had Chu Feng finished speaking than a figure shot out from in front of him.

By the time Chu Feng reacted, the mask on his face had already been pulled off.

It was Long Xiaoxiao. After snatching the mask away, the girl looked quite pleased with herself.

"My little benefactor, you go on a little trip and come back acting all mysterious."

"This mask is even—"

Long Xiaoxiao was speaking as she turned around, but the moment she saw Chu Feng's face, she froze solid, as if she had turned to stone.

After a long moment, she asked with a look of alarm, "My little benefactor, what happened to you? Who did this to you?"

"Chu Feng, what on earth happened to you?"

Even Yu Ting flew up into the air and came to Chu Feng's side.

Both of them were visibly worried. Long Xiaoxiao in particular — tears were welling up in her beautiful eyes.

It wasn't that they were overreacting. It was just that Chu Feng's current appearance was genuinely frightening.

It was as though he had endured some form of torture.

"It's nothing. I did it to myself. I'll recover after some time."

"You two don't need to look at me like that. It's not like I can't heal."

Chu Feng said with a nonchalant expression.

"Liar. Who would believe that? Why would you do something like this to yourself for no reason?"

Long Xiaoxiao clearly didn't believe him, and she turned to the old Daoist. "Senior, please check on my little benefactor quickly. What's wrong with him?"

The girl was truly frantic, stomping her feet anxiously in midair.

"Feng'er, come with me for a moment."

As the old Daoist spoke, he rose into the air.

Chu Feng followed after him.

As for Yu Ting and Long Xiaoxiao, they understood what the old Daoist meant, so the two of them sensibly did not follow.

After arriving beside a quiet river valley, the old Daoist finally descended.
