Honestly, when Chu Feng learned that the power backing the Nameless Clan was so formidable, he thought deeply about it.
He seemed to understand why his father, Chu Xuanyuan, had been unwilling to openly confront the Nameless Clan back then.
He figured it must be because his father knew the Nameless Clan was supported by a colossal force like the Lanfu Clan.
After all, back then, Chu Xuanyuan hadn’t yet secluded himself in the Chu Heavenly Clan’s forbidden grounds, and his cultivation likely wasn’t as strong as it is now.
Moreover, he was being hunted by a massive force like the Seven Realms Holy Mansion.
To avoid exposing himself, he chose to endure.
However, it was clear that the Lanfu Clan wasn’t an unreasonable force.
At least, the conditions proposed by Lanfu Longping were exceptionally polite.
So polite, in fact, that Chu Feng found it somewhat incomprehensible.
Lanfu Longping’s attitude was almost as if he were negotiating with Chu Feng.
Yet, with their strength, they clearly didn’t need to be so courteous.
This made Chu Feng feel something was off.
“Young friend Chu Feng, are you willing to accept my conditions?” Lanfu Longping asked, noticing Chu Feng’s hesitation.
“Hmph, sounds nice,” Bai Liluo suddenly interjected. “If I weren’t here today, the Chu Heavenly Clan would be gone.”
“Now you say you have no ill intentions and want peaceful coexistence—who would believe that?”
“I think you’re just saying these nice words because you’re not strong enough right now, trying to get away.”
“Once you bring reinforcements later, your attitude won’t be like this.”
Bai Liluo clearly didn’t trust Lanfu Longping’s assurances.
“Miss, everything I’ve said is true,” Lanfu Longping replied to Bai Liluo. “If you don’t believe me, I can prove it.”
“Alright, then prove it,” Bai Liluo said, her face full of skepticism.
*Boom—*
As soon as she spoke, the space trembled.
It wasn’t a massive disturbance, but Chu Feng, Bai Liluo, and even Wuming Doutian’s expressions shifted.
They could all sense Lanfu Longping’s aura.
It was the aura of a Seventh Rank Supreme.
He wasn’t lying. If he had truly intended to kill, like Lanfu Jianpeng, he could have wiped out the Chu Heavenly Clan right then and there.
Even with Bai Liluo present, she would definitely not be his match.
“Miss, do you believe me now?” Lanfu Longping asked Bai Liluo.
“You…” Bai Liluo, still defiant, let out a proud huff before saying, “I still don’t believe you. You’d better keep your word, or I, Bai Liluo, am not someone to mess with.”
“Rest assured, miss. I, Lanfu Longping, guarantee that from this day forward, no one will dare touch the Chu Heavenly Clan again,” Lanfu Longping said with a tone of assurance.
As he spoke, he even bowed again.
Such respect and courtesy made even the proud Bai Liluo feel a bit awkward.
The opponent was stronger than them yet so polite, with impeccable manners.
Honestly, their sincerity was more than sufficient.
“Senior, I agree to your conditions,” Chu Feng said.
In truth, he had no choice but to agree; he had no other option.
Moreover, Lanfu Longping’s attitude was indeed flawless.
“Young friend Chu Feng, the Lanfu Clan’s identity cannot be exposed. So please keep today’s events and our relationship with the Nameless Clan confidential,” Lanfu Longping said.
“I will keep it confidential,” Chu Feng replied.
“Thank you, young friend Chu Feng.”
“If there’s nothing else, we’ll take our leave.”
With that, Lanfu Longping grabbed Lanfu Jianpeng, preparing to depart.
“Wait a moment,” Chu Feng suddenly spoke.
At his words, Lanfu Longping’s heart tightened.
In terms of cultivation, he wasn’t afraid of Chu Feng, but he feared Chu Xuanyuan, which indirectly made him wary of Chu Feng.
He was genuinely afraid Chu Feng would make things difficult.
Still, he maintained his composure and asked, “Young friend Chu Feng, is there something else?”
“Senior, I have a word for Wuming Doutian,” Chu Feng said, turning to Wuming Doutian. “Wuming Doutian, I hope you keep your word and stop harming the people of the Ancestral Martial Starfield. Otherwise, even if your son pleads for you, I, Chu Feng, won’t let you off.”
“The Ancestral Martial Starfield is now your Chu Heavenly Clan’s territory,” Wuming Doutian replied. “I, Wuming Doutian, will stay obediently in the Starfield Main Realm.”
“Also, Chu Feng, some rumors aren’t true. I’m not as villainous as they say. Perhaps one day we can talk, and you might clear up your misunderstanding of me.”
“Young friend, rest assured. If he dares act recklessly again, even if you spare him, I won’t,” Lanfu Longping added.
With that, the three left.
…
After their departure, Chu Feng fell into deep thought.
“Brother Chu Feng, what’s wrong?” Bai Liluo asked.
“Sister Liluo, don’t you think Lanfu Longping’s attitude was a bit too good?”
“It’s almost as if he’s afraid of us.”
“Especially when I stopped him as they were leaving.”
“His body seemed to tremble.”
“It’s too unreasonable,” Chu Feng said.
“What’s strange about that? Maybe he’s afraid of your sister here,” Bai Liluo said smugly. “After all, though I’m not his match now, I’ll surpass him sooner or later.”
Chu Feng laughed at her words.
“You’re right. It must be because he’s afraid of my Sister Liluo.”
“Sister Liluo, thanks to you today. Otherwise, I can’t imagine what would’ve happened to the Chu Heavenly Clan,” Chu Feng said solemnly.
“Come on, no need to be so formal with me. What’s our relationship?” Bai Liluo said, patting her chest confidently. “As long as you’re here, I’ll protect the entire Chu Heavenly Clan.”
*Ugh—*
Suddenly, Bai Liluo’s cheerful face changed drastically.
Pain surged across her features.
Then, she could barely stand.
Seeing this, Chu Feng quickly caught her.
As he held Bai Liluo, he noticed her body was as cold as ice, and her internal energy was in chaos.
Her surface was icy, but inside, it was as if magma were roiling violently.
“Sister Liluo, what’s wrong?” Chu Feng panicked, sensing that Bai Liluo’s condition was extremely dangerous.
She could even die.
“It’s fine, it’s fine. Just the consequence of forcing myself out of seclusion,” Bai Liluo said with a smile.
Through his treatment, Chu Feng confirmed she wasn’t lying.
Her condition was indeed caused by forcibly ending her seclusion.
Fortunately, Chu Feng was now a Dragon Mark Saint-cloak World Spiritist, and with his awakened bloodline, his barrier techniques were highly refined.
Under his treatment, Bai Liluo’s condition finally began to stabilize.
