He Zhen upon hearing Lin Xue i’s words, also retorted, "When did I say I wanted to call my son?"
Lin Xue i glared at He Zhen and said, "You just said it."
After finishing, Lin Xue i also looked towards Chu Feng and Xie ngying and said, "You two go on your way."
Such an obvious behavior was only not understood by He Zhen; both Chu Feng and Xie ngying understood all too well.
In the end, it was Xie ngying who escorted Chu Feng away from the He Family.
"What kind of act are you playing at?" He Zhen still didn’t quite understand.
Lin Xue i gave He Zhen a look and said, "You don’t need to understand. Just wait and enjoy the good life ahead. My son is almost forty, and he’s not even talking about bringing a wife ho. If I want to cradle a grandchild, I can only hope for my goddaughter."
He Zhen, upon hearing Lin Xue i’s words, instantly understood and said, "You an Xie ngying and Brother Chu, they..."
Lin Xue i said, "Only you, this old antique, can’t see it."
He Zhen, looking serious, said, "How can this be okay? Xie ngying is Brother Chu’s teacher, and their ages..."
Lin Xue i’s eyes widened as she snapped, "So what if she’s a teacher? Chu Feng will eventually graduate. And as for the age, I’m five years younger than you, did I ever complain?"
He Zhen said, "n and won can’t be the sa."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xue i grew even less pleased and retorted, "Why is it that you n are allowed to find soone younger, but we won can only look for soone older? What kind of logic is that? After so many years of gender equality, you old mule, are still belittling us won..."
When it ca to arguing, ten He Zhens combined would still be no match for Lin Xue i.
"Alright! Alright! I can’t win against you; I give up," He Zhen finally admitted defeat and begged for rcy.
It was now December and the season had already entered winter. Even though the temperature in East River hadn’t dropped too low, the days were much shorter compared to sumr.
Even though it was just past six o’clock, the sky had already darkened completely.
Chu Feng and Xie ngying walked side by side in silence, neither speaking a word.
Silence was the only lody at this mont.
"Will you join for a sit by Bright Moon Lake?" Xie ngying suggested.
Chu Feng said, "Sister ngying, it’s already winter now. The lake water is very cold and could harm your health."
Xie ngying stubbornly replied, "But I just want to sit there for a while."
Chu Feng looked at Xie ngying and ultimately nodded, saying, "Okay!"
The two arrived at the lakeside of Bright Moon Lake and due to the weather, there were no longer any student couples eting in secrecy like in sumr. Bright Moon Lake was very quiet at that mont, and it seed that Xie ngying was enjoying the tranquility.
They sat down on a bench, and Chu Feng carefully took off his jacket and draped it over Xie ngying.
Xie ngying looked at Chu Feng and said, "I’m not cold right now."
Chu Feng explained, "I’ve seen on TV where they do this. I drape my clothes over you, and then you lay your head on my shoulder. Then we look up at the starry sky together. But I think those male leads move too slowly; they should drape it from the beginning. That way, the female lead can lean for a bit longer."
Xie ngying’s face flushed and she gave Chu Feng a look, "You’re full of tricks."
Even though she chided Chu Feng, Xi ngying gently leaned her head on Chu Feng’s shoulder.
"Do you think I’m old?" Xie ngying asked, looking at the stars.
Chu Feng laughed and replied, "How could you be old, Sister ngying? You’re in the pri of your life right now."
Xie ngying sighed, and said somberly, "But I will eventually get old..."
Before Xie ngying could finish, Chu Feng interrupted her, "I can make you never age."
Xie ngying gave Chu Feng a disdainful look and said, "Quit talking nonsense, who can never age?"
Chu Feng replied with utmost seriousness, "I’m telling the truth."
What Chu Feng said was indeed true. Ancient Martial Arts could prolong life but couldn’t stop aging. However, Cultivation could, and had Chu Feng not found the Jade Scroll before, he wouldn’t dare to make such a claim. Yet, with the Jade Scroll in his possession, Chu Feng had the confidence to say it.
Xie ngying looked up at Chu Feng and finally said in a disheartened tone, "You’re still afraid I’ll get old."
Chu Feng was taken aback; his words didn’t an that at all. Where did Xie ngying’s understanding go off track?
Chu Feng said, "Sister ngying, that’s not what I ant, I really can make you never age."
Xie ngying replied, "You don’t need to explain, I understand what you an."
Chu Feng knew that Xie ngying entirely misunderstood his point and said, "Sister ngying, what I’m saying and what you’re talking about are completely different things. I really don’t know how to explain it to you right now, but I’m truly not afraid of you aging. I really do have a way to make you never age."
"It’s still the sa thing!"
Sotis when won fixate on sothing, it’s truly terrifying.
Chu Feng gave in completely and said, "Okay, Sister ngying, I’ll find another ti to explain this matter to you."
Xie ngying felt sowhat disappointed and also got up to leave.
Chu Feng grabbed Xi ngying and then said, "Sister ngying, I heard everything you and my sister-in-law were saying in the kitchen."
"Ah! You really heard it all!" Xie ngying, upon hearing his words, felt like a startled deer, and her pretty face couldn’t help but turn scarlet.
Chu Feng nodded and said, "I heard everything. But, Sister ngying, there are so issues. You really don’t need to worry about them, like age, for example. If I said I wasn’t fond of you, I doubt anyone would believe . But there are still so problems we can’t avoid, like and Rongrong."
So issues must be confronted, and although Chu Feng could accept the world of the Jinghu masters, it didn’t an everyone else could. Therefore, Chu Feng thought it best to clear up so things in advance.
When Xie ngying heard Chu Feng’s words, her face couldn’t help but pale slightly.
Indeed, Chu Feng already had a girlfriend. What was she then, the other woman? And thinking of the other won around Chu Feng, Xie ngying felt, she probably didn’t even qualify as the other woman.
Xie ngying stood up, handed back Chu Feng’s clothes, and said, "I’m tired. I’m going back now."
Chu Feng said, "I’ll walk you."
The two continued in silence until they reached the dormitory downstairs where Xie ngying stayed.
Xie ngying seed unwilling to say more and, with her head lowered, walked towards the building. Just as Chu Feng was about to turn and leave, Xie ngying suddenly turned around and said to Chu Feng, "Chu Feng, promise you’ll be careful, co back alive. And give so ti to think."
Upon hearing this, Chu Feng was joyfully buoyant and said, "Yes! I will certainly co back alive."
Watching Chu Feng, who was as happy as if it were New Year’s, Xie ngying couldn’t help but giggle softly.
Chu Feng and Xie ngying parted ways, and he went straight ho.
Seeing Chu Feng return, the four won also went back to their respective rooms to rest.
Seeing how worried the four won were for him, Chu Feng’s resolve strengthened even more—he had to survive, he had to be the final victor.
Chu Feng admitted that Sword Obsession was strong, but even so, he had to win. Only by winning could he survive.
