The moment Chen Feng saw the three people beside Grandmaster, his pupils constricted.
Flanders had a very distinctive appearance, and Chen Feng recognized him at a glance.
As for the other two, after observing them carefully, Chen Feng began to form a few guesses.
Hiss~ Good grief, I actually transmigrated as a Backwave? Doesn't that mean I got the perfect start?
A Title Douluo discovered that one of his descendants had somehow ended up living away from home, forced to eat nothing but grass leaves and sleep in a Dormitory. Furious, he gave the order and summoned a hundred thousand disciples!
The strongest Backwave of Douluo, huh?
Tang San: What did Blue Silver Grass ever do to you?
Chen Feng's thoughts raced, but his expression revealed nothing as he approached the four with Tang San.
"Hello, Grandmaster. And these are?"
"Let me introduce them. This is Sect Master Ning of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, this is Sword Douluo, and this is my friend, Flanders." Grandmaster introduced them in order of status.
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?" Chen Feng showed just the right amount of surprise.
"Hello, child. I'm Ning Fengzhi. Could you let me see that Jade Pendant of yours?" Ning Fengzhi was the first to speak.
"A Jade Pendant? How did you know I had one?" A trace of vigilance appeared on Chen Feng's face.
"Sorry, Xiao Feng. I was the one who told Sect Master Ning about your Jade Pendant. It fell out during your match that day, and I saw it," Grandmaster explained.
"Then... why did you tell this, uh, Sect Master Ning about my Jade Pendant? Does he know where it came from?" Chen Feng asked with a frown.
Though he had already made some guesses, he had to show suspicion at this moment for it to make sense.
"Child, we can't draw any conclusions yet. Could you let us take a look at the Jade Pendant first?" Ning Fengzhi said gently.
"This... all right." Looking somewhat hesitant, Chen Feng took the Jade Pendant from inside his clothes, removed it from around his neck, and handed it to Ning Fengzhi.
Ning Fengzhi accepted the Jade Pendant, and Sword Douluo, who had long been unable to wait any longer, leaned over as well.
"It really is..." Chen Xin examined the Jade Pendant closely, his tone complicated.
"It is... what?" Chen Feng asked in confusion.
This confusion was not an act, because he truly had no idea what kind of relationship he had with Sword Douluo.
Logically speaking, Sword Douluo should have been the sole heir of his line. So what was Chen Feng's situation?
Had Old Wang from next door done some work?
Or did Sword Douluo have some unknown romantic history?
Things had to make sense, didn't they? Someone couldn't just pop into existence out of nowhere simply because he had transmigrated.
That was the sort of thing trash fanfiction did, but he was in the real world now.
"Could it be... that I'm your descendant?" Chen Feng tentatively asked Sword Douluo.
"No. This old man devoted his life solely to the sword and has no descendants. You are not my direct descendant, but if you wish, you may call me Grandpa," Sword Douluo Chen Xin said.
He looked at Grandmaster and Flanders, about to say something, when Grandmaster spoke first.
"Xiao San, it's getting late. Why don't you come eat with us first?"
It was nearly noon, so it was indeed time for a meal.
Tang San also understood that it was inconvenient for him to stay here. He nodded, patted Chen Feng on the shoulder, then followed Grandmaster toward the Cafeteria.
However, just then, Ning Fengzhi suddenly asked, "Come to think of it, Grandmaster, why were you in such a hurry earlier to have Dean Flanders find us?"
Flanders was reminded as well and recalled how strange it had been. "Right, Xiao Gang, you still haven't explained why you were in such a rush to have me find Sword Douluo."
Chen Xin also looked toward Grandmaster. Flanders's urgency had indeed made both him and Ning Fengzhi feel extremely anxious.
On their way here, they had thought the owner of the Jade Pendant was in danger and urgently needed a powerful expert to save his life, which was why Flanders had rushed over so hastily.
Yet when they arrived, Chen Feng was perfectly lively and even able to fight people. How could they not be puzzled?
Chen Feng, however, vaguely understood. Since he himself was fishing, he could naturally guess why Grandmaster had been so eager to bring Sword Douluo here.
He gave Grandmaster a mental thumbs-up. Sword Douluo's arrival gave him tremendous confidence, and he no longer had to worry about Old Deng pulling a sack over his head.
Under everyone's puzzled gazes, Grandmaster explained his purpose.
"The reason I was in such a hurry to contact Sword Douluo is because Xiao Feng may run into trouble soon. He published a Thesis earlier, and after reading it, I felt that it would likely cause a huge uproar."
"A Thesis?" Ning Fengzhi suddenly thought of something. "The Thesis published in this issue of Heaven Dou Weekly?"
"That's right." Grandmaster nodded.
"Fengzhi, what Thesis?" Sword Douluo asked in confusion.
He had been invited to the Council Hall while practicing his sword. After seeing that painting, he had rushed straight here without knowing anything about the Thesis.
"It is a Thesis... that will bring an earthquake to the Spirit World." Ning Fengzhi looked at Chen Feng with shock in his eyes. "Xiao Feng, did you write that Thesis yourself?"
"Yes, though Grandmaster gave me quite a bit of guidance," Chen Feng nodded.
Grandmaster had helped him so much that Chen Feng did not mind sharing some of the credit and prestige with him.
But Grandmaster refused to accept it. He shook his head and said:
"'Guidance' would be overstating it. I merely told him a few things about the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Xiao Feng completed this Thesis himself."
If Sword Douluo had not arrived in time today, allowing other factions to get here first, then Grandmaster might have taken some of the credit upon himself in order to protect Chen Feng.
But there was no need for that now. Sword Douluo was already standing here. Unless Qian Daoliu came personally, Chen Feng would not be in any danger.
Under such circumstances, Grandmaster had no desire to claim credit that did not belong to him.
Chen Xin, who had been listening from the side, understood what Grandmaster and Ning Fengzhi meant. "So, Xiao Feng has exceptional academic talent and published a Thesis that will have a major impact, which is why some factions will be drawn here. Is that right?"
"Actually, I don't think it'll be just 'some' factions," Grandmaster said slowly.
"Is it really that exaggerated?" Chen Xin turned to Ning Fengzhi and asked.
Ning Fengzhi nodded. "I'm afraid more than half the factions in the Spirit World will send people over. There may even be Title Douluo."
"What exactly did this child write?" Chen Xin looked at Chen Feng in astonishment, only to receive an utterly harmless smile in return.
"I just wrote something casually."
Just wrote something casually... The corner of Grandmaster's mouth twitched. Looking at Chen Feng, who showed no sign of concern, a possibility suddenly occurred to him.
"Did you... know this would happen all along?"
