"What's wrong? Are your eyes bothering you?" Chu Feng asked Song Xi.
He naturally knew that Song Xi was crying, but he couldn't let the guy embarrass himself too badly, so he could only phrase it that way — a man shouldn't let himself cry so easily.
"Heh heh, I'm just too excited. To actually… receive an invitation from the Immortal Armament Villa Master — I really couldn't hold it back."
Song Xi wiped his tears as he spoke, not bothering to hide the reason behind his crying.
"Haha, young friend, there's no need to get so worked up. You're friends with young friend Chu Feng — forget about my little Immortal Armament Villa, I'd say countless powers will be inviting you in the future," the Immortal Armament Villa Master said with a smile.
By now, everyone present was smiling, Song Xi included.
But what no one knew was that the real reason Song Xi had cried had nothing to do with the Villa Master's invitation.
It was because Chu Feng had been willing to acknowledge Song Xi as his friend in front of so many people — and that even after receiving an invitation from the Immortal Armament Villa, he had insisted on bringing Song Xi along.
This told Song Xi that he truly held weight in Chu Feng's heart. Chu Feng genuinely considered him a friend, not someone he merely pitied.
So he had been moved to tears — he had cried because of Chu Feng.

By now, Chu Feng had entered the Immortal Armament Villa. Though he too had received an invitation, he had still been separated from Song Xi — because the Villa Master wished to speak with him privately.
Chu Feng had long anticipated this, so he didn't refuse. At the very least, he could be certain of one thing: the Immortal Armament Villa Master would not harm him.
"Senior, if there's anything you'd like to ask, please feel free to speak plainly. As long as it's something this junior can tell you, I'll hold nothing back," Chu Feng said proactively.
"Haha, young friend Chu Feng truly is a clever one. As expected — cleverness is always one of the abilities possessed by geniuses, let alone a genius among geniuses, a so-called monster in the eyes of the world."
The Immortal Armament Villa Master smiled faintly, then continued: "I want to know which Higher Realm young friend Chu Feng comes from, and which Heavenly Clan you belong to."
"This junior came from the Hundred Refinements Ordinary Realm," Chu Feng said. On this point, he saw no reason to hide the truth.
"The Hundred Refinements Ordinary Realm?" Even the Immortal Armament Villa Master was somewhat surprised to hear that.
He had considered many possible Higher Realms and had essentially concluded that Chu Feng must be from a hegemon-level power in one of them. Yet the answer Chu Feng had just given was the Hundred Refinements Ordinary Realm — and from the way Chu Feng spoke, he seemed completely serious, not the slightest hint of deception. The Villa Master couldn't help but be taken aback.
"Young friend Chu Feng actually comes from the Hundred Refinements Ordinary Realm? You really are a rare talent indeed."
"That being the case — in the Great Thousand Upper Realm or any other Higher Realm, young friend Chu Feng has no kin?" the Villa Master asked.
"I suppose that's right." Chu Feng's answer was rather vague — he hadn't given an absolute confirmation.
But in the Villa Master's eyes, it amounted to an affirmative response.
"If that is so, then this old man has a wish — I wonder whether young friend Chu Feng might help me fulfill it," the Villa Master said.
"Senior must be joking. You are the distinguished master of the Immortal Armament Villa — how could little old me possibly be of any help with your wishes?" Chu Feng said.
"This particular wish — only you can help me."
The Villa Master's gaze toward Chu Feng had shifted in that moment. There was a light in his eyes, brimming with anticipation.
