In the upcoming days, Chu Feng was unable to avoid chatting with the Golden Crane True Immortal.
Chu Feng learned that the Golden Crane True Immortal and the plain-clothed old monk were good friends of many years and had been exploring a remnant together. It was in that remnant that theyâd gotten sucked into the sealed world.
Furthermore, theyâd arrived there not long after theyâd left the Hundred Refinements Ordinary Realm.
As for Chu Feng, he told the Golden Crane True Immortal some things about himself.
For example, heâd mentioned how he was Chu Xuanyuanâs son, and that he had returned to the Chu Heavenly Clan.
The Golden Crane True Immortal was very surprised to learn those things.
As Chu Feng had not wished to expose his identity as Chu Xuanyuanâs son, neither the Golden Crane True Immortal nor the plain-clothed old monk had known about it.
Whilst they might have suspected it to be a possibility, they had given up on the idea after seeing how adamantly Chu Feng had refused to admit it.
As such, it was only natural for the Golden Crane True Immortal to feel shocked after learning that Chu Feng was Chu Xuanyuanâs son, and that he had been acknowledged by the Chu Heavenly Clan.
After all, Chu Xuanyuan was someone that held a special status in the Golden Crane True Immortalâs heart.
Back then, Chu Xuanyuan had been known as the genius of the Great Chiliocosm Upper Realm.
It was not only the Chu Heavenly Clan. The Golden Crane True Immortal and the plain-clothed monk had also placed high hopes on Chu Xuanyuan.
However, later on Chu Xuanyuan had ended up being imprisoned by the Chu Heavenly Clan.
Because of that, the Golden Crane True Immortal and others had felt very sad and pained.
If Chu Feng was truly Chu Xuanyuanâs son, the status he held in the Golden Crane True Immortalâs heart and the expectations the Golden Crane True Immortal had for him would change too.
That said, the Golden Crane True Immortal did not dare believe in Chu Fengâs claims too much.
He still suspected that he had suffered some shock after finding himself in the sealed world.
After all, he had even proclaimed himself to be an Utmost Exalted-level expert.
Because of that, the Golden Crane True Immortal was skeptical about Chu Fengâs proclamations that he was a member of the Chu Heavenly Clan and Chu Xuanyuanâs son.
That said, he was not anxious either. He believed that Chu Feng would return to normal sooner or later.
At that time, the truth would be revealed.
One thing worthy of mentioning was that Zhao Menglu would visit Chu Feng every day.
Furthermore, she would prepare dimsum and meticulously brewed soup for Chu Feng.
At times, she would even take the initiative to bring Chu Feng around and teach him about different places.
In short, she was showing meticulous consideration for Chu Feng like a considerate little servant girl.
Unfortunately, Zhao Menglu was not Chu Fengâs type. Furthermore, Chu Feng knew what her intentions were.
In order to make sure she did not become delusional, Chu Feng kept his distance from her the entire time.
Just like that, time passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, five days had passed.
During those five days, Chu Feng had not been able to use his martial power or spirit power.
In fact, he was incapable of even training.
However, when the people outside saw him, they would immediately swarm him excitedly.
Because of that, Chu Feng had decided not to go to places with a lot of people. He had decided to find a quiet place to stroll around.
At that moment, Chu Feng had arrived at a forest. He happened to find some fruits in the forest.
After taking a bite of a fruit, he found it to be extremely bitter, so much so that he immediately tossed it away.
But soon, he was shocked to discover that the bitter fruit he had swallowed had caused his cultivation to recover slightly.
âThis fruit is able to accelerate the speed at which my cultivation returns!â
Soon, Chu Feng confirmed his guess.
He became wild with joy, and started searching for more such fruits. Just like that, he continued further and further into the forest.
However, as he continued to walk further into the forest, Chu Feng heard some voices. Amongst them was Zhao Mengluâs voice.
He also heard other voices besides hers.
But, if that were all, Chu Feng wouldnât bother to pay attention. After all, he didnât like Zhao Menglu to begin with, and didnât want to interact with her too much.
If it wasnât for her coming over to find him and being excessively forward, so much so that Chu Feng found it impossible to refuse her, he would simply not bother with her at all.
However, it just so happened that Zhao Menglu and the others were discussing him.
This made Chu Feng extremely curious. Because of that, he stealthily approached them.
After approaching, Chu Feng discovered that two women and five men were standing together with Zhao Menglu.
Amongst them was a man with a tall and robust build. He seemed to have a very intimate relationship with Zhao Menglu, as he was actually holding her in his chest.
The others did not show any signs of discomfort towards this sight.
Evidently, they all knew that Zhao Menglu had an extraordinary relationship with the man.
âMenglu, you couldnât have possibly really fallen for that Chu Feng, right?â
âItâs been a long time since I last saw you.â
âI heard that youâve been preparing dimsum for him every day?â
The manâs voice was filled with jealousy.
âBig brother Xiao Yu, didnât I just tell you that I was forced to do so by my grandpa?â
âHow could I fancy a fool like him?â said Zhao Menglu.
âFool? Didnât Lord Golden Crane say that Chu Feng is a genius cultivator?â asked a woman standing on the side.
âGenius cultivator? Pah! More like a genius boaster.â
âYou all donât know about this, but when my grandpa asked him what his cultivation is right now, guess what he said?â said Zhao Menglu.
âWhat did he say?â
The crowd were all curious.
âHe said heâs actually an Utmost Exalted,â said Zhao Menglu.
âWhat?!â
âUtmost Exalted?â
âHahaha. Heâs a fool alright.â
The people burst into roaring laughter.
âMenglu, perhaps I should go and tell your grandpa about our relationship?â
âNo matter what, I, Xiao Yu, am a peak Martial Ancestor. How could your grandpa not agree to our relationship?â said the man hugging Zhao Menglu.
âBig brother Xiao Yu, if you were a peak Martial Ancestor that was also less than a hundred years old my grandpa would definitely agree to it.â
âBut big brother Xiao Yu, youâre over a thousand years old already. As for me, Iâm only five hundred years old. My grandpa might not agree to it,â said Zhao Menglu.
âSo youâre actually five hundred years old. Thatâs the age of an old woman.â
Suddenly, a voice sounded. The tone of the voice was extremely mocking.
The sudden voice instantly shocked Zhao Menglu and the others.
After all, they were discussing secret matters there and did not wish anyone else to know about their discussions.
âWho is it?! Get out here!â Xiao Yu shouted loudly at the forest.
âItâs me. What about it?â
Holding a thin branch and a bitter fruit, Chu Feng swaggered out from the forest.
âChu Feng?!â
Although Chu Feng had only been there for five days, he was already a celebrity.
As such, they all recognized him.
When they saw Chu Feng, Zhao Menglu and the others were all shocked.
After all, they had been speaking ill of him earlier.
âChu Feng, it was a misunderstanding, this was all a misunderstanding.â
Zhao Menglu was the person that panicked the most. She actually threw off Xiao Yuâs embrace and ran over to Chu Feng.
She was very afraid of Chu Feng. Rather, she was very afraid of the Golden Crane True Immortal and her grandpa.
Especially the Golden Crane True Immortal. He had the cultivation of a peak Martial Immortal, and was the strongest person there.
With how highly the Golden Crane True Immortal thought of Chu Feng, she would naturally not dare to offend him.
However, after seeing Zhao Mengluâs fearful look and how she ran toward him, a look of ruthlessness flashed through Xiao Yuâs eyes.
âMisunderstanding my ass!â
As Xiao Yu spoke, he stepped forward and stopped Zhao Menglu by hugging her. He then pointed at Chu Feng, âTrash, youâve come at the perfect time. Today, I will have you understand one thing.â
âWhat?â asked Chu Feng.
âMenglu is my woman. Youâd best keep your distance from her from now on,â said Xiao Yu.
