"Grandfather, what are you—"
Hearing this, Zhao Kun became even more confused.
But before Zhao Kun could finish speaking, Zhao Kuangfengyi's expression changed dramatically. He seized Zhao Kun by the collar, lifted him into the air, and said with a tense look on his face in a loud voice: "Grandfather is not joking with you, Kun'er. You must remember these words. In the future, if you ever encounter Chu Feng, it is best to avoid him."
"If you really can't avoid him, then greet him with a smile. You absolutely cannot make an enemy of him — do you hear me?"
At this moment, Zhao Kun's face went blank. All the words he had been about to say were swallowed back down, and he could only silently nod.
Even though, up to this point, he still had no idea why his grandfather was acting this way, he was truly frightened — for this was the first time he had ever seen his grandfather like this.
In his eyes, his grandfather — who had always feared nothing under heaven — now had a flicker of fear in his gaze.
Fear of whom?
It could only be Chu Feng.
Thinking back to Elder Tuoba's and the silver-haired elder of the Nine Profound Sect's strangely attentive behavior toward Chu Feng, he seemed to finally understand something.
"Grandfather, what exactly happened? Could it be that someone stood up for Chu Feng?" In the end, Zhao Kun voiced what was on his mind.
"Mm." Zhao Kuangfengyi nodded.
"Who could make you act like this?"
Zhao Kun asked. He wanted to know what kind of person could frighten his grandfather, along with the Supreme Elder of Starfall Holy Land and the elder of the Nine Profound Sect, to such a degree.
"Venerable Realm." Zhao Kuangfengyi said.
"Gasp—"
Hearing this, Zhao Kun's expression also changed dramatically. There was no longer any need to know who it was — just knowing the words "Venerable Realm" was enough.
Because that was indeed an existence they could not afford to provoke. Never mind them — in the entire Great Thousand Upper Realm, perhaps no one would willingly offend a Venerable Realm expert.
Although the people from Starfall Holy Land and the Nine Profound Sect had all left, Elder Xingyi and Xia Yun'er had stayed behind. The two of them intended to accompany Chu Feng to the Ghost Sect Hall.
Along the way, Xia Yun'er's gaze toward Chu Feng became quite complicated. It seemed she had secretly communicated with Elder Xingyi and had already learned something.
"Senior, what exactly happened? Could you tell me?"
Chu Feng asked curiously. He knew that something must have transpired while they were still inside the Inheritance Cave, and as the central figure of the matter, he naturally did not wish to be kept in the dark.
But as soon as these words left Chu Feng's mouth, Elder Xingyi looked surprised and asked, "Young friend Chu Feng, do you truly not know what happened?"
"This junior truly does not know." Chu Feng said.
Seeing that Chu Feng did not seem to be joking, Elder Xingyi told him about what had happened before.
Of course, Elder Xingyi did not mention that Starfall Holy Land and the Nine Profound Sect had wanted to deal with Chu Feng. After all, he was a member of Starfall Holy Land himself, and he still needed to maintain his faction's image to some extent.
