"Oh, it must have something to do with your father, Chu Xuanyuan."
"Let me ask you, young friend — no, no, no, Master."
"Your father, Chu Xuanyuan — who exactly is he?"
Lord Bai asked with great curiosity, his expression utterly solemn. His concern for Chu Xuanyuan was so intense that it genuinely surprised Chu Feng.
"Why are you so curious about my father?"
Chu Feng asked, equally curious.
Lord Bai then explained the reason.
It turned out he had followed Lord Yuwei for a very long time. Though his cultivation was not particularly strong, he was the most skilled when it came to planting Soul Origin Demon Grass — an indispensable talent in this place.
Moreover, when Lord Yuwei had first arrived here, he had helped her with a great many things. He was, without question, the person Lord Yuwei trusted most in this entire place.
On many occasions, Lord Yuwei would bring him along whenever she went to do anything.
On two occasions, Lord Yuwei had been so exhausted that she had fallen asleep while resting. And in her dreams, she had called out two people's names repeatedly.
One was "Young Mistress" — the name she called out most often.
The other was "Xuanyuan." On one occasion she had even spoken the full name: Chu Xuanyuan.
Regarding this Young Mistress, Lord Bai knew who she was — she had been Lord Yuwei's previous master.
But as for this Xuanyuan, Lord Bai had no idea who that was. He had once asked about it, but Lord Yuwei had refused to say.
Lord Bai had simply assumed that this Xuanyuan might be Lord Yuwei's lover. After all, the name "Xuanyuan" sounded like a man's name.
That was also why, when he had first seen Chu Feng, he had assumed Chu Feng's father must be here as well. Back then, he had believed Chu Feng was one of the people of this place. And if Chu Feng was from here, then surely Chu Feng's father was too.
Only later did he realize that Chu Feng had genuinely just arrived.
As for why Lord Yuwei had refused to tell Lord Bai anything about Chu Feng's father, Chu Feng figured it was probably an instinctive desire to protect him. Even though she trusted Lord Bai deeply, she still wasn't willing to share that information.
But now, in the entire Upper Realm and the Ancestral Martial Starfield, who didn't know about his father?
So Chu Feng felt there was no longer any need to hide the truth from Lord Bai.
"Senior, have you ever heard of the Chu Heavenly Clan and Chu Hanxian?"
Chu Feng asked.
"Oh, of course! The Chu Heavenly Clan — they're the rulers of the Upper Realm! As a citizen of the Upper Realm, how could I not know about them?"
"As for Chu Hanxian, I've heard of him too. Supposedly, he's an extraordinary genius who came from the Chu Heavenly Clan."
Lord Bai said.
But at those words, something suddenly clicked in his mind. His eyes went wide as he stared at Chu Feng.
"Good heavens — you're a member of that Chu Heavenly Clan?"
Lord Bai asked.
"That's right."
Chu Feng smiled.
"Sigh, I've gone senile, truly senile. I've been trapped here for so long that I'd nearly forgotten about the Chu Heavenly Clan until you brought it up. I only know about Chu Hanxian from things later arrivals told me."
Lord Bai sighed.
"Wait — why are you asking about Chu Hanxian? Could it be that you know that extraordinary genius?"
Lord Bai asked.
"More than just know him — he's my grandfather."
Chu Feng said proudly.
"Holy hell, you're serious?"
Hearing this, Lord Bai was utterly stunned. Then he slapped his forehead hard, and a look of sudden clarity spread across his weathered face.
