Chapter 28

In the gentle breeze, Yan Mingyue's green robe fluttered, making her look like a celestial being descended from heaven, standing apart from the world.

She softly laughed, "Lin Daoyou seems to have some good news?"

Lin Feng smiled faintly, his gaze sweeping over Xiao Yan, and he said nonchalantly, "Having such an excellent disciple is naturally good news."

Yan Mingyue smiled slightly and said no more.

Xiao Yan, who had been immersed in comprehending the Red Lotus Breaking technique, also came to his senses at this moment. His eyes were filled with enthusiasm as he looked at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng nodded, his smile gradually fading as he said seriously, "Although you haven't made any progress in your realm over these three years, you have never given up and have persisted in your cultivation. This is very good and quite rare."

To be a true emperor, one must have exceptional qualities. Xiao Yan's level of determination was not just talk.

What is meant by determination is one's will and character.

In the vast Tianyuan world, there are countless geniuses with outstanding roots and comprehension. However, only a few can truly achieve great things. What determines how far they can go and how well they can utilize their outstanding talents is their personal determination.

Those with firm determination naturally go further under the same conditions.

Lin Feng looked at Xiao Yan and said slowly, "It is precisely because you have persisted that your foundation is more solid than others, and your accumulation is sufficiently deep. In the future, you will encounter fewer bottlenecks in advancing your realm. It may seem like you have wasted three years, but you will find that it will be easy to make up for these three years in the future."

Xiao Yan was somewhat taken aback. He really didn't know that these three nightmare-like years could bring any benefits.

"When will you teach me the Dao techniques?" Xiao Yan, with his eyes rolling, focused on the most important thing.

Yan Mingyue suddenly interjected, "Lin Daoyou, it seems that your young disciple is practicing lightning-based Dao techniques."

Xiao Yan was stunned upon hearing this. When he was learning the Red Lotus Breaking technique, Yan Mingyue had told him that he was more suitable for fire-based Dao techniques. If his master only knew lightning-based Dao techniques, no matter how profound and powerful they were, it would always be a bit regretful for him.

Lin Feng smiled slightly, "This little guy is suitable for lightning-based Dao techniques, so I have taught him these techniques. As a teacher, one must always teach according to the student's aptitude."

In other words, he knew more than one type of Dao technique and naturally had suitable fire-based Dao techniques to teach Xiao Yan.

Hearing this, Xiao Yan immediately felt relieved.

Yan Mingyue smiled and nodded, saying no more. In her heart, she re-evaluated Lin Feng's strength.

Ordinary wandering cultivators usually obtain the legacy of ancient great cultivators by chance, which allows them to embark on the path of cultivation. To obtain one Dao technique is already a great stroke of luck.

If Lin Feng mastered different Dao techniques, and they were all relatively profound, then his strength could not be measured by the standards of ordinary wandering cultivators.

Yan Mingyue now even suspected that Lin Feng might be a cultivator who had been in seclusion for many years in a major power and had suddenly reappeared in the world?

At this moment, Xiao Yan glanced at Little Point, thinking of something and immediately looking worried.

Lin Feng, seeing his expression, knew what he was thinking and couldn't help but smile inwardly. On his face, he said seriously, "From today on, you are my eldest disciple, temporarily taking on the role of the master's disciple. In the future, when I take in new disciples, as the eldest brother, you must set an example for them."

Xiao Yan was stunned, his eyes darting to Little Point, who was smiling at him.

Lin Feng ignored Xiao Yan's small actions, patted Little Point's head, and said, "This is your junior brother, Shi Tianhao. As the eldest brother, you must take good care of him in the future."

Xiao Yan nodded quickly, his head bobbing like a chicken pecking at rice, feeling very happy. He had just thought he would have to call this little guy "elder brother," which would have been awkward, but now he was the master's eldest disciple.

In the future, any new disciples Lin Feng took in would have to call him "eldest brother," and Xiao Yan felt very pleased.

Little Point stepped forward, raising his innocent little face and performing a formal bow, "Shi Tianhao greets Eldest Brother." Despite being a little kid, he tried to act mature, which made him look even cuter.

Xiao Yan was also amused, "Don't worry, if anything happens in the future, come to me. Your elder brother will protect you..." He stopped mid-sentence, suddenly remembering that this seemingly cute little guy was a genuine cultivator at the fourth level of the Qi Condensation stage.

A cultivator at the fourth level of the Qi Condensation stage at less than four years old...

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan's forehead broke out in a sweat. It seemed that he himself was only at the first level of the Qi Condensation stage, far behind his junior brother. It was uncertain who would protect whom.

Xiao Yan looked up at Lin Feng, who was also staring at him, his gaze filled with both encouragement and scrutiny.

"I will redouble my efforts in cultivation. Please rest assured, Master." Xiao Yan's heart suddenly became solemn, and he became calm and serious.

Joking aside, as the eldest brother, if his cultivation was lower than his junior brother, what kind of situation would that be?

Lin Feng nodded in satisfaction, "When I tell you to take care of your junior brother, I mean it. Ordinary people know that older brothers should protect their younger siblings. In the future, if your junior brothers and sisters have any trouble, you, as the eldest brother, must stand up for them."

"If they are beaten by others, you must fight back. Don't come to me crying like a child. I don't have such unambitious disciples."

"If you fight the younger ones and provoke the older ones, don't be afraid. I will stand up for you when the time comes."

Xiao Yan was filled with enthusiasm, "Don't worry, Master. Even if the older ones are provoked, I won't need you to step in. I will focus on my cultivation and then go back to fight them. I'll take on both the young and the old!"

Little Point also chimed in, "Yes, Master, I will help Eldest Brother too!"

Lin Feng chuckled and tapped his little forehead, "You, always stirring up trouble." He turned to Xiao Yan and said, "Go back and prepare. Arrange the matters at home. We will leave Wuzhou in three days."

"During these three days, you can come to this lakeside at any time. I will teach you the Dao techniques then." Lin Feng glanced at Yan Mingyue, "Also, collect the other herbs needed for Yan Daoyou to refine the Soul Stabilizing Pill."

Xiao Yan nodded in agreement, and Yan Mingyue smiled beside him, "Thank you, Xiao Yan. I will wait by the lake for these three days." Since Xiao Yan had already become Lin Feng's disciple, she naturally couldn't follow him around anymore.

After Xiao Yan left, Lin Feng and Yan Mingyue stood facing each other, silent for a moment.

Little Point also remained quiet, staying by Lin Feng's side. Although he was playful, he was much more precocious than other children of his age and could sense the strange atmosphere between his master and the beautiful lady.

After a long silence, Lin Feng spoke first, "I wonder what plans you have for the future, Yan Daoyou?"

He had already learned from Little Tuantuan that the green-robed beauty before him was not just an ordinary disciple of Tai Xu Temple but the new Dao Gate Walker, the new generation's Tai Xu Temple Holy Maiden, who succeeded Meng Bingyun.

After being severely injured in the battle with Long Ye ten years ago, Yan Mingyue had to rest and recuperate in the ring. To the outside world, Yan Mingyue was in a state of unknown life or death.

Undoubtedly, the disappearance of the Tai Xu Temple Holy Maiden was a major shock to the entire Tianyuan world.

The poor outcomes of the two consecutive Dao Gate Walkers had a significant impact on Tai Xu Temple's reputation. To make up for and respond to this, Tai Xu Temple would likely soon appoint a new Dao Gate Walker.

Tai Xu Temple would also focus on cultivating this new person and even grant them some powers and resources that their predecessors did not have.

At this time, Yan Mingyue, the former Holy Maiden, would be in an awkward position. Her return to the temple might not be met with all congratulations.

With her intelligence, how could Yan Mingyue not foresee this? Yet, she still had a calm and composed demeanor, smiling faintly, "Please point out where you encountered Long Ye. After I stabilize my soul, I will go to find her."

Lin Feng was slightly taken aback, "You two have such deep enmity? Did she steal your man?"

Yan Mingyue smiled slightly and frankly said, "She has something that both my sect and I must try to retrieve."
