“We father and son will surely meet again.”
When Chu Xuanyuan said this, a faint smile played on his lips, brimming with confidence.
Then, with a casual wave of his hand, a boundary gate appeared in the space before him.
It was a boundary gate that spanned the starry sky.
A gate that Xianhai Shaoyu needed multiple treasures to open, Chu Xuanyuan had created effortlessly.
“You won’t even formally meet your son.”
“Are you not planning to leave directly?”
Old Monkey asked, looking at the boundary gate.
He could tell this gate wasn’t meant to leave the Holy Light Galaxy.
“There’s one more old acquaintance to see.”
Chu Xuanyuan spoke as he stepped into the boundary gate.
Old Monkey turned back to look at Chu Feng, his eyes filled with reluctance and heartache.
He knew that after they left, Chu Feng would once again face ferocious martial cultivators and dangers alone.
One failure could mean death.
“Chu Feng, you must catch up to your father’s footsteps.”
After saying this, Old Monkey turned away.
He wanted to leave something for Chu Feng.
But doing so would go against Chu Xuanyuan’s wishes.
And he would never do anything against Chu Xuanyuan’s will.
As Old Monkey stepped into the boundary gate, it closed behind him.
Just as the two disappeared, a figure emerged from the black box’s boundary gate into this starry expanse.
It was Xianhai Xin’er.
Upon entering, her eyes were filled with panic, but also a trace of relief.
Her relief had a reason.
Worried about Chu Feng and Xianhai Shaoyu’s safety, she had long wanted to enter and check on them.
But to her shock, she couldn’t get in.
It was as if a force had sealed the boundary gate.
She had tried multiple times, all in vain, making her fear that Xianhai Shaoyu and Chu Feng had met with disaster.
But this time, the force sealing the gate suddenly vanished, allowing her to enter the starry expanse again, bringing her some relief.
Yet, upon entering, that relief quickly faded.
It was replaced by tension and panic.
“Young Master.”
“Chu Feng.”
Xianhai Xin’er spotted the unconscious Chu Feng and Xianhai Shaoyu.
Though worried about Chu Feng, she rushed to Xianhai Shaoyu’s side first.
“Young Master, what happened to you?”
Xianhai Xin’er asked while checking his condition.
“You silly girl, who told you to come in?”
Before she could finish, Xianhai Shaoyu suddenly spoke, waking up at that moment.
“Young Master, you’re alright?”
“Young Master, you’re fine, that’s wonderful.”
Seeing Xianhai Shaoyu awake, Xianhai Xin’er cried with excitement.
She had thought he was lost.
But seeing him alive and well, the weight in her heart lifted, and her suppressed emotions were released.
Xianhai Xin’er was already beautiful, and her tearful, pear-blossom-like crying was truly heart-wrenching.
But Xianhai Shaoyu had little mind to comfort her. He quickly stood, scanning their surroundings.
Before he fainted, this starry expanse had been extremely dangerous.
He needed to confirm the situation now.
“Could it be that Chu Feng took care of everything?”
Noticing the absence of his fourth uncle and the Demon Transformation Clan, Xianhai Shaoyu was almost certain that Chu Feng, in his bloodline berserk state, had killed Xianhai Renhu and the clan members.
Otherwise, he and Chu Feng wouldn’t be here unharmed.
Even if Xianhai Renhu and the others couldn’t defeat Chu Feng and fled, they wouldn’t have left him behind. They would have taken him.
His presence here meant Xianhai Renhu and the others were dead.
To think that his fourth uncle, whom even he couldn’t handle, was killed by Chu Feng.
Recalling the thunderous, berserk Chu Feng he had seen earlier, Xianhai Shaoyu’s gaze toward Chu Feng still held some fear.
“Taken care of?”
“Young Master, are you talking about that force?”
Xianhai Xin’er asked.
Unaware of the Demon Transformation Clan’s arrival, she thought it was the terrifying power filling the sky.
“Yes.”
Xianhai Shaoyu didn’t tell her about meeting Xianhai Renhu or the Demon Transformation Clan.
But he did share how he and Chu Feng had endured the black box’s power together.
He also told her that Chu Feng’s talent surpassed his own.
“Chu Feng’s talent is greater than yours?”
Hearing this, Xianhai Xin’er was astonished.
As a member of the Xianhai Fish Clan, she knew well the extent of Xianhai Shaoyu’s talent.
That Chu Feng’s talent exceeded his was something she had never considered.
“Mmm—”
At that moment, Chu Feng let out a soft groan.
“Chu Feng’s waking up.”
Seeing this, Xianhai Xin’er, overjoyed, stood to run to him.
But after a few steps, she froze.
“You silly girl, why hold back your feelings?”
“If you’re worried, go to him.”
Xianhai Shaoyu said helplessly.
He didn’t like Xianhai Xin’er’s overly cautious nature.
“Young Master, Xin’er made a mistake.”
Xianhai Xin’er said.
“What mistake?”
Xianhai Shaoyu asked.
“Xin’er accidentally called you Young Master, and Chu Feng heard.”
Xianhai Xin’er said.
“So, what’s your relationship?”
At that moment, another voice spoke. It was Chu Feng.
Looking over, Chu Feng had sat up, watching Xianhai Xin’er and Xianhai Shaoyu.
Xianhai Xin’er lowered her head, not daring to look at either of them.
She was not only worried about Xianhai Shaoyu blaming her but also unsure how to face Chu Feng.
“Brother Chu Feng, it was all my idea. Don’t blame Xin’er.”
Xianhai Shaoyu stood and said.
“I’m not blaming you.”
“I’d like to know more about you, but if you don’t want to share, I won’t force you.”
“Because in my heart, you’re already my friends.”
“Even if I don’t know your true identities, it won’t change our bond.”
“At least I feel I’ve seen the real you.”
Chu Feng said as he stood.
“Xin’er, you go back first.”
Xianhai Shaoyu said.
Without hesitation, Xianhai Xin’er turned and left.
“Looks like you want to tell me something?”
Chu Feng asked.
Hearing this, Xianhai Shaoyu gave a faint smile, then looked at Chu Feng and suddenly said two words.
“Ruthless.”
