When Liang Qiu Chengfeng made this statement, everyone present was visibly moved, and then they smiled with understanding.
In fact, Liang Qiu Chengfeng’s desire to take Chu Feng as his disciple was something everyone had anticipated.
After all, Liang Qiu Chengfeng had been openly expressing his admiration and appreciation for Chu Feng throughout their journey.
However, when Liang Qiu Chengfeng actually voiced his intention, people couldn’t help but feel happy and excited for Chu Feng.
Not to mention Liang Qiu Chengfeng’s prestigious status, if Chu Feng were to become his disciple, who would dare to trouble the Chu Clan in the future?
But more importantly, Liang Qiu Chengfeng had never taken a disciple before.
If Chu Feng agreed, he would become Liang Qiu Chengfeng’s first disciple, and likely his only one. This honor was something countless young talents in the Ancestral Martial Starfield dreamed of.
“Thank you, Senior, for your kind offer. However, I must apologize.”
“I once made a vow that I would never take another master in this lifetime. Because of this vow, I have declined offers from several seniors before. So… today, I must respectfully decline your generous offer,” Chu Feng said with a look of regret, bowing to Liang Qiu Chengfeng.
“This…” Everyone was shocked by Chu Feng’s response.
While they had anticipated that Liang Qiu Chengfeng might take Chu Feng as his disciple, they never expected Chu Feng to refuse him.
At this moment, Chu Feng’s actions truly took them by surprise.
This was especially true for the Wuma Clan’s patriarch, who had assumed that Chu Feng would definitely accept Liang Qiu Chengfeng’s offer.
After all, compared to others, he understood the Chu Clan’s situation better and knew how much they needed Liang Qiu Chengfeng’s support.
Thus, Chu Feng’s refusal genuinely surprised him.
“Haha, very well. It seems Young Friend Chu Feng is a man of principle.”
“In that case, I won’t force the matter,” Liang Qiu Chengfeng said with a calm smile, though a faint trace of disappointment flickered in his eyes.
Everyone could sense Liang Qiu Chengfeng’s disappointment.
Liang Qiu Chengfeng had never taken a disciple in his life, and the reason was his extremely high standards for talent.
Today, his initiative to take Chu Feng as his disciple was a clear indication of how highly he regarded Chu Feng. Yet, no one had expected that Liang Qiu Chengfeng’s first attempt to take a disciple would end in rejection.
In truth, if anyone else had rejected Liang Qiu Chengfeng, people would have secretly cursed them for being ungrateful.
But when it came to Chu Feng, while they were surprised, they could also accept it.
After all, Chu Feng was the son of Chu Xuanyuan. With such a father behind him, Chu Feng truly didn’t need to take another master.
Moreover, people didn’t know much about Chu Feng. Take, for example, the two mysterious women from earlier, they were Supreme Realm experts.
Although Chu Feng harbored hostility toward them, they were willing to protect him. This ambiguous relationship made people realize that Chu Feng had an unusual background.
He indeed had the capital to refuse Liang Qiu Chengfeng.
Afterward, people didn’t dwell too much on the matter and quickly returned to their previous demeanor.
After chatting for a while, the various clans began to leave, and Liang Qiu Chengfeng also departed with the Liang Qiu sisters.
However, the Chu Clan’s patriarch didn’t leave immediately with Chu Feng. It seemed he had some matters to discuss with the Wuma Clan’s patriarch.
At this time, Chu Feng and the others were still outside the ancient ruins, but Chu Feng had been assigned to a separate temporary palace.
Chu Feng wasn’t resting. Instead, he stood at the top of the palace, his expression grave, his eyes filled with sorrow, and his demeanor deeply despondent.
He was troubled by the matter of Yue Xian.
In the Lower Realm of Ancestral Martial, Yue Xian had indeed been a top-tier expert, but that was the Lower Realm.
Now, they were in the Ancestral Martial Starfield, where the experts were far beyond anything the Lower Realm could compare to.
Especially the power of the formations Chu Feng had mastered, which were strong enough to annihilate everyone, including Liang Qiu Chengfeng.
When Yue Xian appeared, Chu Feng had felt a surge of joy, thinking it was a stroke of divine providence.
Because Yue Xian had appeared precisely where he had control over the formation’s power. With the formation’s strength, he could rescue Su Rou and Su Mei.
At that moment, he truly believed it was fate.
But Chu Feng hadn’t expected that even with the formation’s immense power, it would be no match for Yue Xian.
Chu Feng had failed, and it made him realize that Yue Xian was far stronger than he had imagined.
The Supreme Realm, though he didn’t know how Yue Xian had achieved it, she indeed possessed the cultivation level of the Supreme Realm.
She had left Chu Feng far behind.
Faced with such a Yue Xian, how could Chu Feng catch up? What could he do to rescue Su Rou and Su Mei?
Feelings of weakness and helplessness consumed every inch of his body, causing him immense pain.
Buzz.
Suddenly, a powerful force enveloped Chu Feng, forming a barrier-like seal around him.
“Who’s there?”
Feeling this force, Chu Feng became tense.
He knew that what was sealing him wasn’t the power of a formation but the strength of a powerful cultivator.
This force had isolated him. At this moment, no one knew he was here, and no one knew he was sealed.
Most importantly, whoever possessed such power also had the ability to kill Chu Feng.
Chu Feng was likely in grave danger.
However, just as Chu Feng’s tension and unease began to rise, his expression shifted to one of joy.
Because now, standing before him were two figures. Under the moonlight, they appeared extraordinarily beautiful, transcendent, like celestial beings descending to the mortal world.
These two were none other than Su Rou and Su Mei.
“You didn’t leave?” Chu Feng was overjoyed. Even though he knew it was Yue Xian, the fact that she was still here made him incredibly happy.
Because at least… he still had a chance to talk to her, to understand her plans, to ask about Su Rou and Su Mei’s safety, and to learn more about what he didn’t know.
“Of course, I wouldn’t leave. I owe you an explanation.”
Yue Xian’s voice rang out again, but as her words faded, Chu Feng’s body stiffened, and he became extremely agitated.
Even his body began to tremble.
He noticed that the gazes of Su Rou and Su Mei had changed.
At this moment, the two people standing before him were no longer controlled by Yue Xian.
They were the Su Rou and Su Mei he knew so well.
