"Xiao Ming and I came out to play, and we saw the cave from afar, so we went in to take a look. Who knew we couldn't get out. Sir, can you take us out?"
In the dark underground palace tunnel, the clear and pleasant voice of the little one rang out.
Lin Feng, who was secretly following behind them, shook his head with a smile. This little guy, he really knows how to act silly and cute. With just a small cloth bag, he managed to put the Yu family inside.
Don't be fooled by this kid's innocent appearance; he's probably thinking about how to hit others from behind.
I need to be more careful in the future and not be deceived by this little rascal's harmless appearance. This kid can cause a lot of trouble.
When the old man in yellow heard the little one's question, he smiled and said, "We are also heading back to Tianjing City, so we can take you back. Your family must be worried about you."
As he said this, his eyes were fixed on the little one, and the other five people did the same.
The little one blinked his big, black eyes, his gaze showing joy, and he exclaimed, "That's great!"
Xiao Yan, standing beside him, also showed a look of relief.
The six cultivators from the Hou Mansion nodded secretly, thinking that these two children were indeed from the Yu family and not pretending.
They didn't know that Xiao Yan and the little one had already agreed beforehand to use the Yu family's name if they encountered trouble.
Although the two had never met Master Zhu Yi, they both knew his appearance from Lin Feng's description, so they recognized him at first sight. It was clear that although these six people were cultivators from the Xuanji Hou Mansion, they were not friendly and treated Zhu Yi like a prisoner.
The two disciples looked at each other and decided to save Zhu Yi.
However, the vast power fluctuations from the six people told them that they were all Foundation Establishment cultivators. Even if they were together, the two of them wouldn't be a match for just one of them.
Thinking about the old man in yellow mentioning that their "family" was waiting for them in Tianjing City, the little one secretly groaned. He didn't know that the Yu family had someone in the Great Zhou Dynasty, in Tianjing City.
Xiao Yan gave him a glance, hinting for him to calm down. The little one composed himself and moved closer to Zhu Yi, asking curiously, "Big brother, did you also come out to train with your elders?"
The old man in yellow laughed, and the others laughed as well, their smiles strange. Someone said, "Little friend, he is different from you. He is just a scholar who secretly learned Dao techniques."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yi raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "Although it was not my choice, the result is indeed a form of training."
He paused and then said clearly, "The key is that I have broadened my horizons."
The old man in yellow frowned slightly, secretly angry, knowing that Zhu Yi was referring to the fact that Huang San was killed by Liu Yang with one sword.
The little one didn't care about what Zhu Yi meant by broadening his horizons. He was now curious about why his master chose this green-robed scholar as a disciple.
At this moment, the middle-aged man in purple, who had been silent all along, suddenly raised his head and said in a deep voice, "Something's wrong, there's a problem."
Everyone was startled. The middle-aged man in purple first stared at the little one, "You practice lightning-based Dao techniques." Then he turned his gaze to Xiao Yan, "You practice fire-based Dao techniques."
The other Foundation Establishment cultivators also reacted, using their powers to secretly investigate. They found it to be true, and their faces turned serious.
The old man in yellow slowed his voice, "The Yu family's water-based Dao technique, Xuanming Jue, is famous worldwide. Why don't you two practice your family's Dao technique?"
The little one and Xiao Yan's hearts sank slightly, not expecting to have a slip here. They quickly thought of a response. The little one answered calmly, "I learn whatever Dao technique my master teaches me."
The old man in yellow's face darkened, "Nonsense. If you were truly a direct descendant of the Yu family, how could you have another master?"
"Because his master is stronger than the Yu family."
A calm voice sounded, and Lin Feng slowly walked out, appearing before everyone.
The little one and Xiao Yan both smiled and bowed to Lin Feng, "Disciple greets Master."
The old man in yellow frowned, "Sir, you have a big mouth. May I ask which enlightened master you are?"
Zhu Yi looked at Lin Feng, his eyes showing a hint of surprise, but he didn't speak.
Lin Feng approached him, looking at Zhu Yi for a long time, then sighed, "I almost missed you. I never thought you were Bingyun's son, and you've grown so much."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yi was stunned.
The cultivators from the Hou Mansion looked at Lin Feng in confusion, only the old man in yellow was speechless, "You... you actually know Meng Bingyun?"
Only this old man had a vague idea of Meng Bingyun's background, while the other five only considered her a concubine of the Xuanji Hou, not even remembering her name.
Lin Feng ignored the old man and continued to look at Zhu Yi, "When I went to Qingyang Mountain that day, it was to visit the grave of an old friend. I met you by chance, but we didn't recognize each other."
"After asking the old monk in the temple, I learned that you are Bingyun's son," Lin Feng said with a sigh, "It's good that you often visit your mother's grave. The world has forgotten Meng Bingyun, but she has left something precious in this world."
Zhu Yi's eyes turned slightly red, and he bowed, "Although my mother never mentioned you, she has been gone for many years, and you still remember her. Zhu Yi thanks you on behalf of my mother."
Lin Feng's eyes were fixed on Zhu Yi, and he said slowly, "I once promised your mother that if you are willing, I can take you as my disciple, teach you all my Dao techniques, and help you achieve immortality and freedom."
"Zhu Yi, are you willing?"
Zhu Yi's face showed a thoughtful expression, and Lin Feng didn't urge him, standing there calmly.
The cultivators from the Hou Mansion, however, were anxious. Starting with the old man, they all glared at Lin Feng and shouted loudly.
"Master Zhu is the son of the Xuanji Hou. Who he chooses as his master, what path he will take, and what life he will live, will naturally be arranged by the Hou. Master Zhu only needs to follow, and the Hou's arrangements will always be the best."
"The Xuanji Hou is his father. Even if Meng Bingyun were still alive, she would only be a concubine and have no right to interfere with the Hou's decisions!"
"The Hou is the pillar of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the sky of the Xuanji Hou Mansion. Everything in the Hou Mansion must follow the Hou's arrangements. Otherwise, it is going against the sky and will be punished by the heavens!"
"You, Daoist, leave quickly. If you anger the Xuanji Hou, there will be no place for you in this world!"
Lin Feng didn't look at them, his eyes still fixed on Zhu Yi. He then turned his head and glanced at them coldly.
"Be quiet when I am speaking."
With that, Lin Feng waved his hand, and a dazzling golden light flew into the air, illuminating the dark tunnel, and a vast and powerful force swept the entire scene!
