"It's fine." Chen Feng shook his head and said,"By the way, Uncle Xu, do you know what the highest realm a self-cultivator can reach now is?"”In fact, Xu Wentian's words just now made him suddenly think of the golden sword qi that his father had used when he left. How powerful was that?
Xu Wentian smiled and said," It's hard to say. As far as I know, the leader of the Canyang Sect, Leng Tianlin, has only cultivated to the upper part of the eighth layer. He has reached the realm of silver Zhen Yuan. As for the ninth layer of golden Zhen Yuan, only the legendary cultivator called Duan Tian has reached that level."”When he said that, his face was full of yearning, as if it was something he had dreamed of. After a moment, he became disappointed."I think that a cultivation genius like Duan Tian won't appear even once in a few hundred years.”
There was a long silence. Both of them didn't speak. Xu Wentian was yearning for that powerful strength, while Duan Chenfeng was thinking about when he would be able to reach that realm. He knew that he was not a genius. It was true that he wanted to have such powerful strength, but it might be a little too far away.
The carriage moved very quickly and arrived at its destination before they knew it. Xu Wentian stopped the carriage and said to Duan Chenfeng,""Child, we're home."
Duan Chenfeng alighted from the carriage and saw a group of people running towards him. They were all dressed in soldiers 'clothes and looked like the officers and soldiers of the mansion. They stopped in front of Xu Wentian and the leading officer bowed respectfully to Xu Wentian and said,"City Lord, you're back."
Xu Wentian nodded and said to Duan Chenfeng,""Let's go!"
Duan Chenfeng followed Xu Wentian and walked forward. At this time, he raised his head and saw that he was walking on the streets of a city. On both sides of the street, there were all kinds of goods that he had never seen before. At this time, he couldn't help but feel like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world.
As they walked, they arrived at a mansion. The mansion was located in the center of the city. There was a huge square in front of the door. The streets on both sides were filled with soldiers. There were also teams of patrols coming and going. When the soldiers saw Xu Wentian appear, they bowed respectfully and continued to do what they were supposed to do.
" Tianfeng Mansion " appeared on the door plate. Duan Chenfeng couldn't help but sigh. So he had come to one of the four great cities of the world, Tianfeng City.
"Let's go!" Xu Wentian saw Duan Chenfeng's stunned expression and smiled.""This is my home. From now on, you can treat this place as your own home.”
Duan Chenfeng quickly regained his senses and subconsciously left, but his mind was still inexplicably dizzy.
"Mr. Xu, since you have safely arrived at your residence, our mission has been completed.”Windkill said to Xu Wentian.
"That's right. Please send my regards to Sect Master Yu when we get back."”
"Alright, then we'll take our leave.”After saying that, the three figures tore through the air and disappeared in the air in an instant.
Along the way, the servants who came and went were busy with their own things and did not greet Xu Wentian. Duan Chenfeng couldn't help but wonder why the soldiers outside were very respectful to Xu Wentian. Why did the servants here seem to be used to it?
Just as he was puzzled, Xu Wentian said,""You felt it too, right?"
Duan Chenfeng nodded. They both understood what each other wanted to say.
"Actually, why do we need to be so polite when we get home? Etiquette was just a formality, which was to show it to outsiders. Since they were at home, there was no need to be so restrained! Everything will be fine." Xu Wentian's explanation made Duan Chenfeng understand.
The mansion was very big. There were all kinds of strange flowers and plants on both sides of the road. Duan Chenfeng had almost never seen them before. As he walked, he paid attention to the buildings beside him so that he wouldn't get lost the next time he walked alone. However, this place was so big that he quickly forgot many of the roads he had taken.
After a short while, they arrived at a large hall. The hall was very large, and it could accommodate up to a thousand people. On the wall opposite the hall, there was a huge plaque in the middle. On the plaque, there was a large golden word-Xu. There were a total of 18 large pillars in the hall, nine on each side. All kinds of birds and beasts were carved on the pillars.
The walls on both sides and the ground were covered with white stones. Duan Chenfeng recognized these white stones. They were called crystal jade stones. They were the favorite stones of self-cultivators because they contained a large amount of spiritual qi. It was very beneficial to cultivate beside such stones all year round.
At this time, Xu Wentian said to the servant beside him,""Take this young master to wash and dress up.”
"Yes." the servant replied.
Duan Chenfeng glanced at Xu Wentian and followed the servant. The servant brought him to a bathroom. There was a pool with warm water in it. The servant wanted to help Duan Chenfeng bathe, but Duan Chenfeng refused. What a joke. In the past, he would bathe alone at home. Now that a female servant saw his body, how could he face others in the future?
Duan Chenfeng had forgotten that he was only twelve years old.
Soon, Duan Chenfeng was done showering. He put on the new clothes that the servant had prepared for him. The clothes were very gorgeous, and when Duan Chenfeng wore them, he gave off an invisible aura. He really did look like someone from an aristocratic family.
After Duan Chenfeng came out, he followed the servant into the hall. A girl's laughter could be heard from afar. The owner of the voice was about the same age as him. It sounded a little crisp, but it stopped halfway, as if it had disappeared into thin air.
After a short while, Duan Chenfeng arrived at the entrance of the hall, and the servant left. At this moment, he saw two more people in the hall. A stunning young woman and an exceptionally beautiful little girl. Xu Wentian and the young woman were sitting in the innermost two seats of the hall, and the little girl was standing beside the young woman. He didn't pay much attention to the beautiful young woman. Instead, he paid attention to the little girl. In Duan Chenfeng's eyes, the girl was really beautiful. She was wearing a pink dress and her hands were casually placed on her chest. Her delicate eyes blinked and a faint smile appeared on her lips. It was as if she had thought of or heard something happy. Ever since he was young, he had never seen a decent girl in his small village. At this time, a girl who was about the same age as him suddenly appeared in front of him, which made him feel intoxicated.
"Chenfeng, you're here." Xu Wentian shouted when he saw Duan Chenfeng standing at the entrance of the hall.
Duan Chenfeng suddenly woke up and walked into the hall. He walked up five steps and walked to Xu Wentian's side. He said in a somewhat wooden tone,""Uncle, I'm here."
Xu Wentian nodded and said to the young woman beside him and the little girl standing quietly at the side,"This is the Duan Chenfeng I told you about. He will stay in our house from now on.”
When the girl saw Duan Chenfeng, she smiled as a greeting. When he smiled, his originally beautiful face became even more beautiful. Duan Chenfeng couldn't help but be stunned. After a moment, he recovered and his face turned red.
Xu Wentian and the young woman had already seen all of this. They naturally understood what was going on. The two of them looked at each other and smiled. The young woman said to Duan Chenfeng,"From now on, we'll be a family. If there's anything, you can come to me.”
Duan Chenfeng nodded and said,"I understand, Auntie."”
The young woman nodded in satisfaction and said to the little girl beside her,"Qing 'er, your Brother Feng isn't familiar with this place yet.”
"Yes, mother." After the girl finished speaking to the young woman, she turned to Duan Chenfeng and said,"Brother Feng, let's go!"
"Alright, alright!" Duan Chenfeng felt that he was a lot more wooden in front of the beautiful girl. He didn't know what to say for a moment. When he wanted to say something, he realized that the girl had already walked out of the hall. He hurriedly chased after her.
After Duan Chenfeng and the little girl left, the young woman said to Xu Wentian,""What do you think of this child?"
"His family background isn't clear yet, so it's hard to make a conclusion." Xu Wentian said thoughtfully.”"But he looks quite honest."”
"Haha!" The young woman smiled and looked tenderly at her husband before saying,"Weren't you quite honest back then?”
When the young woman said this, Wu Wentian seemed to see his own shadow in Duan Chenfeng's body, and he smiled.
"What do you think of the two of them?" The young woman asked Xu Wentian in a teasing tone.
"They're so young. What can they do?”Xu Wentian seemed to have thought of something and said," But he saw our daughter's blushing face, maybe..." He seemed to have thought of something and frowned, but he didn't continue.
"Can you walk faster?" When the girl saw Duan Chenfeng, who was shorter than her, walking slower than a rabbit, she couldn't help it. They had already walked for half an hour and had not even finished walking through the long corridor beside the main hall. At this speed, they would not be able to walk out of this small courtyard even if it was dark.
"Oh." Duan Chenfeng saw the girl who was a distance away from him and quickly ran up to her, saying,""I'm here. What's the matter?"
When the girl heard Duan Chenfeng's words, she almost fainted. Then, she used her left hand to support her right hand and placed her index finger beside her temple. She seemed to be thinking about something and was very focused.
Duan Chenfeng was puzzled when he saw the girl's expression. He wanted to say something, but he realized that the girl suddenly pulled his hand and ran to the end of the corridor. It was the first time Duan Chenfeng was held by a girl. Her weak and boneless hand gave him a strange feeling. After all, they were still children. How could they know so much? The setting sun shone on Duan Chenfeng's face, making it red.
After running for a while, the girl stopped and let go of Duan Chenfeng. She said,""Let's go! I'll bring you to familiarize yourself with our home.”
After walking for a while, the girl said to Duan Chenfeng,""Your name is Duan Chenfeng, right? My name is Xu Wanqing. You can call me Wanqing in the future.”
Duan Chenfeng nodded, but he still didn't say anything and quietly followed behind her.
Along the way, Xu Wanqing and Duan Chenfeng talked about the World Kingdom. There were five major cities in the World Kingdom. The largest city was the World City, which was the political and cultural center of the country. The World City was located in the center of the country and extended in all directions. The transportation was very convenient. In the north, south, east, and west, there were the four cities under the control of the four great families. Tianfeng City was located in the east of the World Kingdom and was under the jurisdiction of the Xu family. In addition, there was the Heavenly Rain City in the south, the Heavenly Illusion City in the west, and the Heavenly Dream City in the north.
As they walked, they came to a courtyard. The courtyard was filled with flowers and plants, and the scenery was very charming. In the summer evening, butterflies would fly by from time to time, giving people a pleasant feeling.
"This place is called the Ice Blue Courtyard. When I'm alone, I often come here to play. This is a forbidden area in my family, and father doesn't allow anyone to come here.”Xu Wanqing said as she walked to a stone bench at the side. She wanted to sit down, but she realized that it was covered in dust. Duan Chenfeng noticed it and came to her side. He waved his hand gently, and a breeze blew over the stone bench. When he looked at the stone bench again, it was as clean as if it had been washed by rain.
Xu Wanqing's eyes revealed a strange glow as she said in surprise,""Brother Chenfeng, have you learned cultivation before?”
"What about you?" Duan Chenfeng nodded. Have you learned it before?" In his opinion, how could a child of an aristocratic family like her not have learned the cultivation method! He couldn't help but feel that his words were laughable.
At this moment, Xu Wanqing shook her head in disappointment and said,"No, my father didn't let me learn!" Her words were obviously filled with regret, and Duan Chenfeng couldn't help but feel his heart ache when he heard it.
Duan Chenfeng came to Xu Wanqing's side and muttered,""Can I teach you in the future?" His voice was very quiet, but Xu Wanqing heard it.
"Really?" When Xu Wanqing heard this, she said happily,""Thank you, Brother Chenfeng!"
Duan Chenfeng scratched his head and smiled shyly.""I'm fine!" At this moment, he saw a door at the back of the courtyard. Inside the door was a fake mountain. He was very curious, so he said,"Let's go over there for a walk, okay?”
Xu Wanqing looked in Duan Chenfeng's direction and her expression changed.""No, Father said that we can't go to the back mountain.”
"Why?" Duan Chenfeng asked in confusion.
"I went there once, but I fainted for no reason as soon as I walked past the door. Fortunately, my father found me in time. Otherwise, I would never have been able to get out.”
Hearing Xu Wanqing's words, Duan Chenfeng couldn't help but feel curious. He asked,""Then did you see what it looked like inside?”
Xu Wanqing thought about it and said," After we go out, we'll go around the rockery. There are green flowers and plants all over the ground. It leads to the foot of the mountain. There's a road in the middle of the flowers and plants."”He paused for a moment and continued,"I can't remember anything else. It seems that I only saw this much.”
"Then let's go over and take a look, okay?”Duan Chenfeng said with a smile. He was very curious and wanted to know what was behind the door.
" But..." Xu Wanqing was still a little afraid.
"Don't worry, I'm here!”Duan Chenfeng patted his chest and said.
"Alright then!" Xu Wanqing recalled the cultivation technique that Duan Chenfeng had just displayed and was still somewhat confident in him.
Duan Chenfeng walked forward. After taking a few steps, he realized that Xu Wanqing was still standing there. He asked,""What's wrong?" Xu Wanqing was holding a green jade pendant in her hand. The jade pendant was engraved with a peacock-like animal. It was very cute.
Xu Wanqing held the jade pendant and said,"Father asked us to go back for dinner."”
Duan Chenfeng understood now. The jade pendant in Xu Wanqing's hand was a short-distance voice transmission magic artifact. As long as the person who spoke set up a teleportation array inside, they could transmit what they wanted to say to the other party. This teleportation jade pendant had an advantage. Only the owner of the jade pendant could hear what the other party said. Setting up a teleportation array required a strong internal force as a backing. If it was not done well, it would not lead to failure. The long distance of the teleportation still depended on the depth of the internal force.
"Then let's go!" Duan Chenfeng said helplessly.
The two of them did not speak along the way. Duan Chenfeng was thinking about when he could run across the back mountain to take a look. Xu Wanqing was also thinking about when she could go to the back mountain with Duan Chenfeng. When they arrived at the main hall, they stopped in their tracks at the same time and looked up at each other. They had a tacit understanding. They all received a satisfactory answer from the other party. Then, they looked at each other and smiled, striding into the hall.
"Father, Mother, we're back." Xu Wanqing said to her parents with a smile as she walked into the hall.
"Let's go and eat!" Xu Wentian said hurriedly when he saw Duan Chenfeng and his daughter.
The dinner was very sumptuous. Duan Chenfeng had never eaten almost all the dishes. In the past, when he was in the small village, Duan Chenfeng could only eat ordinary meals. Although his mother's cooking skills were exceptionally good, she could not cook so many things.
"What's wrong, Brother Chenfeng?" Xu Wanqing saw him staring at the food in front of him without moving his chopsticks.
"No, it's nothing." Duan Chenfeng smiled and started eating. Everyone could see that his smile was uglier than crying.
After a while, Duan Chenfeng finished the rice in his bowl, stood up and said,""I'm done eating. Uncle, Auntie, you guys enjoy your meal.”
"Alright then!" Duan Chenfeng smiled and shouted at the door,""Fu, bring young master Chen Feng to his room, the one in the southwest courtyard.”
"Yes." A servant walked over and said.
As soon as Duan Chenfeng and the servant named Ah Fu left, Xu Wanqing stood up and said,"Father, mother, I'll go. Brother Chenfeng isn't familiar with this place.”
"No, you stay here and eat obediently.”Xu Wentian put down his chopsticks and said to his daughter.
"Father." "Just let me go!" Xu Wanqing whined in dissatisfaction.”
"Alright, you can go!" At this moment, the young woman, who was also Sherri's mother, said,"You can go! Go back to your room early."
"Thank you, Mother." Xu Wanqing said happily and chased after Duan Chenfeng.
After Xu Wanqing left, Xu Wentian said seriously to his wife,""Xin `er, how could you take the initiative to let them be together!”
The young woman, who Xu Wentian called Xin `er, was called Yuan Xin. When she saw her husband's serious expression, she burst out laughing and said,""What's wrong? You can ask them to go out together in the afternoon, but I can't let them go together now?”
"That's different!" Xu Wentian said.”
"How is it different?" Yuan Xin hurriedly asked.
"In the afternoon, I was afraid that the kid would run around and not know the way. It's already dark now. It's not good to let the two of them be together!”Xu Wentian said worriedly.
"Haha!" Yuan Xin smiled." How old are they? Don't worry. It'll be fine."”
"You also know about that matter. If in the future…that is something we cannot afford.”Xu Wentian sighed and continued eating.
How could Yuan Xin not know what her husband was talking about? If things really went contrary to her wishes, it might cause a bloody storm.
It was late at night, and the mansion seemed much quieter. The corridor beside it was already lit up, and servants came and went from time to time. Duan Chenfeng had already followed Fu to the Southwest Courtyard. Fu found the key in Duan Chenfeng's room from some keys. After opening the door, she lit the lamp and said to Duan Chenfeng,"Young Master, this will be your room from now on. If you need anything, you can call the servants outside the courtyard. Also, if you don't have anything to do, try to stay in the courtyard…"
"Alright, Ah Fu, you can leave now! I'll talk to Brother Chenfeng about the rest.”Xu Wanqing's words echoed in the room, interrupting Ah Fu's unfinished words.
Duan Chenfeng heard Xu Wanqing's voice and quickly looked outside the room. He saw Wanqing standing at the door and smiling at him.
"Yes, Miss." Ah Fu didn't say anything more. She walked out of the courtyard and disappeared into the dark night in the blink of an eye.
After Ah Fu left, Duan Chenfeng quickly went to Xu Wanqing and pulled her into the room. He closed the door and said worriedly,""Why are you here?”
"Mother asked me to tell you about some simple matters in the residence.”Xu Wanqing saw Duan Chenfeng's nervous expression and found it funny. The smile on her face never stopped.
"I see!" "I thought you came here alone!" Duan Chenfeng said stiffly.”
"Haha!" Xu Wanqing laughed." Idiot. There are so many people in the residence. Is it easy for me to come here alone?" As long as father says so, I won't be able to come at all.”
" You're right." Duan Chenfeng thought about it and asked," Are you really here to talk to me about those trivial matters?"”Thinking of this, he felt a little grateful.
"Of course not." Xu Wanqing found a stool and said calmly.
"Ah?" "Then what are you here for?" Duan Chenfeng asked hurriedly.”
"Hehe!" Xu Wanqing sneaked up to Duan Chenfeng's side, causing him to have goosebumps. He heard her whisper into Duan Chenfeng's ear,""I'm here to ask you when you're going to the back mountain.”
"What?" Duan Chenfeng cried out.
Such a loud voice shocked Xu Wanqing, who was beside her. She asked in confusion,"What's wrong, Brother Chenfeng?"
Duan Chenfeng thought to himself, How did you know I wanted the back mountain? But she said,"It's okay, it's okay."”
"It's good that you're fine. You'll live here in the future. If there's anything, you can call the servants outside the courtyard. If you're bored during the day, you can look for me to play. That's all I have to say. It's getting late, I'll go back first.”Xu Wanqing was about to open the door when she suddenly closed it halfway. She ran back to Duan Chenfeng and said,"You still haven't told me when you went to the back of the mountain.”
I haven't forgotten! Duan Chenfeng felt depressed. " Erm, this…" Duan Chenfeng didn't even know when he was going to the back of the mountain. How was he going to tell the girl in front of him?
"What about that!" Xu Wanqing was very anxious, but Duan Chenfeng only finished half of his sentence.
"I'm also thinking about when to go!”Duan Chenfeng muttered.
"No way!" "You haven't thought about it yet?" Xu Wanqing asked in surprise.”
"Yes!" Duan Chenfeng gave Xu Wanqing an affirmative answer.
Xu Wanqing stuck out her tongue mischievously and said,""Then think about it here. Tell me when you've thought about it.”As she spoke, she opened the door and walked out.
" But..." Duan Chenfeng wanted to say something, but Xu Wanqing had already disappeared into the night."That's all. I'll be leaving first."
"But I still don't know where to find you tomorrow.”Duan Chenfeng said to himself. Maybe we can all have dinner together tomorrow! He would tell her when they were having dinner. Now, he had to think about how to get to the back of the mountain!
What kind of place was that? Why did Sherri suddenly faint after entering? Duan Chenfeng, who was lying on the bed, thought to himself," Could there be some secret in the back mountain?" Duan Chenfeng couldn't think of anything. When his parents were alive, they didn't tell him anything about the cultivation world. He knew nothing about the cultivation world. Other than a set of difficult cultivation methods and some common cultivation knowledge, he didn't have anything else.
It was already late at night. Duan Chenfeng had unknowingly fallen into a deep sleep. When he opened his eyes again, the sky was already bright. He relaxed his body and walked out of bed.
