"My Lady… that person just now seemed to say that the young master has already obtained the inheritance of this Divine Land," Shuangxue said.
"Not 'seemed' — it's a fact. My grandson has accomplished something even his mother could not."
"It seems this little fellow might very well surpass his mother." A smile spread across Lady Nianqing's face — one of pleasant surprise and pride.
From this single matter alone, she already understood just how extraordinary her grandson was.
At the same time, Shuangxue's face also broke into a smile. She was happy for him as well.
Though she didn't know the specifics, she could tell how formidable Chu Feng was — so much so that even Lady Nianqing herself had benefited because of him.
This was something even Ranqing had never achieved.
"Shuangxue, my grandson may be tremendously capable, but… I still can't rest easy."
"Go find him for me. If you locate him, you must ensure his safety," Lady Nianqing continued.
"Rest assured, my Lady. Even if it costs me my life, I will never allow the young master to be bullied again," Shuangxue answered.
…
At that same moment, Chu Feng and Bai Yunqing were on their way.
Not wanting Bai Yunqing to feel burdened, Chu Feng hadn't asked him a single question about what he needed to do.
If a brother needed help, you helped — that was Chu Feng's principle.
He never claimed to be the embodiment of absolute justice, but he would give everything for the people he cared about.
"Big Brother Chu Feng, why don't you go ahead and take care of your own matters first?" Bai Yunqing suddenly said to Chu Feng with a smile.
"I don't have anything urgent."
"And I already promised to accompany you," Chu Feng replied.
"Actually, my matter isn't all that important. I can handle it on my own," Bai Yunqing said.
Seeing Bai Yunqing speak this way, Chu Feng chuckled and then said, "That's not very brotherly of you."
"Huh?" Caught off guard by Chu Feng's words, Bai Yunqing was momentarily taken aback, unable to understand what he meant.
"I wasn't going to ask. If you need me, I'll just help you directly."
"But since you're being this awkward about it, I'm going to have to ask — what exactly are you going through?" Chu Feng asked.
"Big Brother Chu Feng, I…" Bai Yunqing hadn't expected that Chu Feng had already seen through him. He was indeed feeling awkward right now.
"Are we brothers or not? If we are, then just tell me straight. Whatever it is, we'll face it together."
"If you won't say, then you don't consider me a true brother," Chu Feng said.
"No, no — how could I not consider you a true brother, Big Brother Chu Feng?"
"I, Bai Yunqing, don't have many friends. If I had to name one, Big Brother Chu Feng would be the only one," Bai Yunqing hurriedly replied.
"Then don't hesitate. Tell me what's going on. If I can help, I will. If I can't, we'll figure something out together," Chu Feng said.
Seeing this, Bai Yunqing stopped wavering and told Chu Feng everything — the whole story from start to finish.
It turned out that Bai Yunqing had previously visited the Bloodline Heavenly River with his Master.
That time, they had been exploring ancient ruins, but the ruins were extremely dangerous. Bai Yunqing had not only been injured but had also been forced to separate from his Master.
Hearing this, Chu Feng assumed Bai Yunqing wanted him to help explore those ruins that he hadn't been able to handle alone.
But then Bai Yunqing suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Big Brother Chu Feng, do you believe in love at first sight?"
"I don't believe in love at first sight, but I do believe in lust at first sight," Chu Feng replied.
"Uh…" Bai Yunqing was rendered speechless, not knowing what to say.
"Haha." Seeing his reaction, Chu Feng laughed out loud before continuing, "Lust at first sight, admiration for one's talent, or simply clicking because of shared interests — really, they're all just different points of attraction."
"So I don't think 'lust at first sight' is a bad thing at all. On the contrary, I think it's great. After all, there are so many good-looking people in this world, but not everyone makes your heart skip a beat, right?"
"Exactly! There are plenty of good-looking people, but only one has ever made my heart flutter like this," Bai Yunqing nodded.
"Oh? So the sudden topic change — could it be that after you separated from your Master, you met someone you fell for at first sight?" Chu Feng asked.
"Yes, Big Brother Chu Feng, I did." Bai Yunqing nodded vigorously.
It turned out that after Bai Yunqing had separated from his Master, he had encountered a young woman while searching for him.
Bai Yunqing had fallen for her at first sight and had begun pestering her, hoping to make her acquaintance.
However, this young woman had a cold and aloof temperament, and she was deeply annoyed by Bai Yunqing's relentless pursuit — she wouldn't even speak a single word to him.
So Bai Yunqing could only follow her in secret. Eventually, he not only discovered where she lived but also learned that her name was Liwu.
Through his observations, Bai Yunqing found that Miss Liwu had no family and lived alone in an ancient forest.
But her talent was exceptional — arguably no less than his own.
However, because of her cold personality and the poor first impression he had left, Bai Yunqing never revealed himself, instead continuing to follow Miss Liwu in secret.
Then one day, when Miss Liwu ventured out for training, she encountered an ancient Fierce Beast. The creature's strength was overwhelming, and Miss Liwu was no match for it at all.
In truth, even Bai Yunqing at that time couldn't have been certain of victory.
But this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so Bai Yunqing acted decisively and chose to play the hero.
He even sustained injuries in the process, but in the end, he managed to rescue Miss Liwu from danger.
It was precisely this selfless act that changed Miss Liwu's impression of him.
From that point on, they could finally be considered acquainted.
Bai Yunqing had once suggested that Miss Liwu also join his Master as a disciple, but she refused.
Miss Liwu only wanted to cultivate here — she didn't want to be disturbed by anything.
Bai Yunqing didn't push the matter and left to find his Master.
Later, when Bai Yunqing had another opportunity to come to the Bloodline Heavenly River, he sought out Miss Liwu once more.
But this time, Miss Liwu was gravely ill. Bai Yunqing tried every possible method to treat her, but nothing worked.
He even went so far as to invite his Master to help with her treatment.
