Under the cover of night.

Chen Feng watched Ning Rongrong's departing figure, then smiled and shook his head.

Back in his dormitory, he found that Tang San had neither started cultivating nor gone to sleep, and he knew that Tang San had something to say to him.

As expected, when Tang San saw Chen Feng return, he asked:

"What exactly happened with that message you mentioned before?"

Chen Feng sat down on the edge of his bed and said:

"I don't know if this news is true or not. I only know that Bai He, the Clan Chief of the Speed Clan, has an older sister who seems to have married a former sect leader of the Clear Sky Sect. From this, I deduce that he and Uncle Hao should be related by blood."

Tang San thought about it and agreed with the assessment, "It does seem possible."

As Bai Chenxiang's grandfather, Bai He was obviously quite old, so his sister could only marry a former sect leader of the Clear Sky Sect, and could never marry the current sect leader.

The previous Clear Sky Sect were all Tang Hao's father and grandfather.

Based on this information, Chen Feng concluded that there was no problem with Bai He's blood relation to Tang San's father, Tang Hao.

"So, if Bai Chenxiang and I are of the same generation, then she should be considered my cousin," Tang San said.

"I'm just worried that she'll be of a higher generation than you, and then I won't know how to address her," Chen Feng teased.

"What's the big deal?" Tang San said nonchalantly. "At worst, we can each do our own thing."

"Speaking of which, you plan to teach Xiangxiang Hidden Weapon weapon techniques, so will you teach her other things too? Like the Mysterious Heaven Skill or something?" Chen Feng asked.

Tang San thought for a moment and said:

"I plan to teach her the Mysterious Heaven Skill first. As for the others, we can talk about them later. Don't bite off more than you can chew. If she comes to me to learn later, I'll teach her then."

The next morning, everyone went to the Cafeteria for breakfast.

After finishing their meal, Tang San and Chen Feng went to find Bai Chenxiang and discussed the Hidden Weapon weapon techniques.

Xiao Wu, however, was not interested in this matter. Just then, Zhu Zhuqing wanted to challenge her to a duel, so Xiao Wu went to the playground with Zhu Zhuqing.

After hearing Tang San's purpose, Bai Chenxiang asked curiously:

"Is it that technique you used when Teacher Zhao was teaching us, the one where you threw a lot of things?"

"Yes, that's the technique. Do you want to learn it?"

"Yes, of course I want to! I think this technique is amazing, and I've always wanted to learn it, but I didn't know how to tell you," Bai Chenxiang said happily.

"From now on, you'll learn Hidden Weapon weapon techniques from me." Tang San took out a small booklet from the Jade Snow Ice. "This is an introduction to Hidden Weapon weapon techniques. Practice according to it first, and you can ask me if you don't understand anything."

"Okay, thank you, Third Brother." Bai Chenxiang took the booklet and curiously flipped through it.

Just as Tang San was answering Bai Chenxiang's questions, Oscar walked over.

"Bro Feng, Xiao San, I need your help."

"What do you want us to do for you?" Chen Feng asked.

"Well, Teacher Zhao just found me and said she wanted to take me to the Meng Family's house." Oscar's expression was complicated.

He looked both expectant and hesitant, perfectly capturing the complex emotions of a teenage boy who knows he's going to meet his parents.

Chen Feng and Tang San exchanged a glance. "You want us to go with you?"

"Yes, I'm really a little scared to go alone," Oscar stammered.

"What's there to be afraid of? Stand up straight, Xiao Ao! How can you win a girl's heart like this?" Chen Feng encouraged him.

"I... I can't get it up," Oscar said dejectedly.

He has never been very confident, and his personality is terrible. He is often called a rotten person by Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun.

Chen Feng's perception of Lu Someone's temperament from him was not a misperception; Oscar and that person were indeed the same kind of person.

The kind of person who's hopeless and can't be helped.

Oscar was an orphan adopted by Dean Flender. His father had him when he was fourteen and abandoned him when he was three or four years old.

Children this age who wander the streets and don't starve to death are lucky; they occasionally encounter kind people who take pity on them and give them some food.

But he was mostly bullied and looked down upon, which taught him to read people's expressions at a very young age.

Oscar's terrible personality was also formed during that time. A person who has been living in constant fear and suffering from contempt since childhood will either develop into Zhu Yuanzhang or become a rotten person.

During his time as a wanderer, it was unrealistic to expect to have enough to eat, so Oscar desperately longed to be able to produce food continuously so that he would no longer suffer from hunger.

Fortunately, Oscar later met Dean Flender, Flender couldn't bear to see such a young child wandering outside, so he took him back to the Shrek Academy.

After that, Oscar was finally able to eat his fill.

When he was six years old, he successfully awakened his Martial Soul, and it was Food-type Martial Soul with Innate Full Soul Power.

Oscar didn't know whether his Food-type Martial Soul appeared because of his own wish or because of the heredity mentioned in Chen Feng's theory.

But he knew that the dean's face showed both shock and joy at the moment he awakened his Martial Soul.

In reality, Oscar does not acknowledge that his Martial Soul is inherited; he believes it is a Martial Soul from heaven and has nothing to do with the man who abandoned him.

However, he never told anyone about this idea.

Oscar's childhood experiences left him lacking in confidence. Even though he possessed Innate Full Soul Power and became a unique food-type Soul Master with Innate Full Soul Power, he still appeared weak and pathetic.

Now, Zhao Wuji is taking him to the Meng Family, which immediately throws Oscar into a panic, and he rushes to seek help from a powerful figure.

Yes, in Oscar's eyes, Chen Feng is an absolute big shot.

Including Dai Mubai, Tang San, Gu Yue Ling, and so on, they are all outstanding individuals who shine brightly.

They were exceptionally talented and mentally strong, seemingly capable of handling any difficulty, while Oscar felt he couldn't do that.

Looking at Oscar's flustered expression, Chen Feng sighed almost imperceptibly. He felt that Oscar was increasingly resembling Lu Someone.

He knew that such a person was difficult to persuade.

Lu Someone with the help of the Little Devil, the red-haired senior, the Cold-faced Gossip Senior, and the Golden-haired Unruly Boss, Lu still couldn't completely stand up.

It seemed to be propped up, yet also as if it wasn't propped up at all.

For example, a branch.

Oscar, on the other hand, only has a blond-haired leader. It remains to be seen whether Dai Mubai will help Oscar destroy the axle of the bride's wedding car.

Chen Feng wanted to get Oscar to sit up straight, so he planned to give Oscar the Lu Someone.

He plans to make a cameo appearance as the cool senior student; the Tai Chi Bagua Sword can also be used as Murasame, right?

As for the red-haired senior, Chen Feng subconsciously glanced at the blue-haired Tang San.

"What's wrong?" Tang San was a little confused by the look he was getting.

"It's nothing, let's go with Xiao Ao, how about it?"

"Okay, but what about the courses?"

Oscar then said:

"Don't worry about the course. The dean told us to arrange our own time these next two days; he and the Grandmaster are both out on business."

"Okay, then let's go to the Meng Family together." Tang San nodded and said.

"Then I'll stay at the Academy and practice," Bai Chenxiang said from the side. "I need to hurry up and practice my Hidden Weapon weapon techniques."

"Okay, Xiangxiang, you stay at the Academy. Let's call Boss Dai over," Chen Feng suggested.

So the three of them went to find Dai Mubai, while Bai Chenxiang went to the large training ground to practice her Hidden Weapon techniques.

"You're looking for Boss Dai? He's not here," said Ma Hongjun, who was cultivating near Fire Cloud Rock. "The dean just told us to arrange our own time, and Boss Dai went to the city."

"What's he going to do in the city?" Chen Feng asked curiously.

"He said he was going to buy clothes. You know, Boss Dai goes through a lot of clothes when he transforms, so I asked him to pick up a couple of outfits for me too," Ma Hongjun said, pointing to his clothes.

"Then how about the three of us?" Tang San said.

"What are you going to do?" Ma Hongjun asked curiously.

Tang San then told Ma Hongjun about Oscar, and Ma Hongjun was immediately intrigued, clearly wanting to go as well.

But he quickly remembered that he had a bet with Zhu Zhuqing, and if he lost, he wouldn't be able to eat for a day, which was very painful for him.

So after hesitating for a moment, Ma Hongjun finally said:

"Then you should go with Teacher Zhao. I still need to cultivate."

So the three of them went to find Zhao Wuji together. On the way, Tang San suddenly said:

"Should we bring Xiao Wu along? Knowing her personality, she might throw a tantrum if she finds out we didn't bring her."

"Let her make a fuss, this isn't the time for her to join in the fun. We have serious business to attend to," Chen Feng said nonchalantly.

"Then let's bring Xiao Wu along too. It's good to have another person," Oscar said at this moment.

Moreover, having many people around can embolden him and give him more confidence.

Since the parties involved had agreed, Chen Feng didn't say anything more, and the three of them went to the large playground together.

At this moment, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing were resting on a rock, clearly indicating that their sparring session had ended.

"Who won?" Chen Feng walked over and asked.

"Xiao Wu won," Zhu Zhuqing said.

Xiao Wu chuckled and gave Chen Feng a peace sign.

Chen Feng slapped her hand away and said:

"You're already Soul Elder, yet you bully a Soul Grandmaster like Zhu Zhuqing. Aren't you ashamed?"

Xiao Wu's eyes widened. "It was clearly Zhu Zhuqing who challenged me to a duel, so what do you mean I bullied her?"

"Putting aside the fact that she challenged you to a sparring match, don't you have any faults at all?" Chen Feng said emphatically.

Xiao Wu was stunned by this earth-shattering fist technique, and became so angry that she couldn't speak coherently.

"You, me, and her."

Xiao Wu gestured for a long time but still couldn't utter a complete sentence. Seeing this, Tang San quickly said:

"Alright, alright, these are all minor matters. We're going to the Meng Family with Teacher Zhao now. Xiao Wu, would you like to come along?"

"Go to the Meng Family?" Xiao Wu's attention was quickly diverted. "Is that Meng Yiran's house from last time?"

"Yes, do you want to come with us?" Tang San asked.

Xiao Wu glanced at Oscar and quickly understood.

"Yes, of course I'll go! How could I miss out on something like this?"

"Zhu Zhuqing, what about you? Do you want to come along?" Chen Feng asked.

"I won't go, I need to cultivate," Zhu Zhuqing shook her head and refused.

She knew that Ma Hongjun had been working hard lately, so she couldn't slack off either.

After all, Zhu Zhuqing originally had a higher Soul Power than Ma Hongjun, and she didn't want Ma Hongjun to surpass her and reach Level 30 first.

Chen Feng also saw Zhu Zhuqing's desire to win, so he didn't say anything more and went to find Zhao Wuji with the other three.

And so, the four of them headed towards the Meng Family's residence.

This time, Zhao Wuji was not stingy and prepared a carriage for the four of them.

After all, this trip to the Meng Family was meant to be a blind date, so naturally, we couldn't just run there like we did when we went to the Star Dou Great Forest before.

Otherwise, running around covered in sweat would be quite unseemly.

After more than a day's journey, the four arrived in the city where the Meng Family lived.

The Meng Family, to which the Dragon Duke and Snake Granny belonged, was quite famous in the Soul Master World, so Zhao Wuji also knew the Meng Family's address.

Upon arriving at the Meng Family's location, the four were greeted by a sizable manor.

Upon seeing this rather historic manor, Oscar's hard-won courage vanished instantly.

"Teacher Zhao, why don't we go back?" Oscar was clearly hesitant.

"How can you be so spineless? It's just a big manor, what's the big deal?" Zhao Wuji patted Oscar on the shoulder, making Oscar stumble.

"Exactly, what's so great about a manor, right, Xiao San?" Xiao Wu acted like she'd seen it all.

"Huh? Ah, yes, right?" Tang San was a little confused about where Xiao Wu's confidence came from.

Does he still remember how curious Xiao Wu was about everything in Suotuo City last night? And today she's so nonchalant about such a large manor?

Chen Feng then spoke up:

"Xiao Ao, you must remember that you are a Food System Soul Master with Innate Full Soul Power. This is enough to make you a guest of honor in major sects, including the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

"Believe it or not, if I relay your situation back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the sect will definitely send someone to invite you. So you don't need to be so insecure. As long as Dragon Duke and Snake Dowager have even a little bit of intelligence, they won't underestimate you."

Chen Feng had originally planned to buy Oscar a more glamorous outfit on the way, but he quickly realized it was unnecessary.

Because outward glamour is ultimately illusory, Oscar's talent is what truly matters.

If someone is inherently incompetent, no matter how fancy their outfit is, it won't help.

Conversely, if one has sufficient talent, then simple clothing will not diminish the respect one receives.

Just like Chen Feng, if he revealed his identity, he would be an honored guest no matter where he was.

Even if he dressed like a beggar, no one would look down on him; instead, they would think it was Grandmaster Chen Feng's unique taste.

After hearing Chen Feng's words, Oscar calmed down a bit.

"Thank you, Bro Feng."

Oscar took a deep breath and then exhaled gently.

Looking at the large estate before him, he mustered his courage and said:

"Everyone, let's go inside."
