Chen Xinjie and Ya Li turned to look at Bi Ji.
Ya Li, especially, looked astonished.
Although there was no universal method for concealing soul rings in the Soul Master world, Ya Li knew of one.
Military training!
Shrek Academy had always possessed such a method, and one could master it after undergoing military training.
But this was a secret Shrek Academy never shared with outsiders!
Did Qingyu know it too?
She carefully examined Bi Ji and confirmed that she was not someone from Shrek Academy.
Seeing the two looking at her, Bi Ji explained, "I also intended for Yun Feng to appear weaker than she is. That way, she can catch others off guard in the future!"
"Her identity is special. Who knows how many people will be watching her."
After Bi Ji said this, Chen Xinjie understood.
"So that's how it is!"
"That is indeed a good idea!"
"However..."
As Chen Xinjie spoke, he frowned again. "Little Yun has always been under the War God Hall's protection and never leaves Bright Capital. There should be no need for this, should there?"
Yun Feng continued, "This is what I wanted to discuss with you, Uncle Chen. I plan to go out and gain experience."
"No!"
Chen Xinjie refused without hesitation.
His response was so swift that the other three did not even have time to react.
Yun Feng blinked.
"..."
Chen Xinjie looked at Yun Feng and said solemnly, "Little Yun, you cannot leave Bright Capital. It's too dangerous outside."
Hearing this, Yun Feng felt even more helpless. "Uncle Chen! Don't you think that if I stay in Bright Capital forever, growing up under your protection without suffering even the slightest setback, I simply won't be able to grow?"
"A true powerhouse cannot remain under someone else's protection forever!"
"Uncle Chen!"
"I want to become a true powerhouse."
"Not a vase."
After Yun Feng said this, Chen Xinjie fell silent.
He admitted that she was not wrong.
But...
Chen Xinjie frowned.
After a while, he finally said, "There's no rush. Let me discuss this with the others first, all right?"
"Oh, and your parents should know as well. I'll go call them over."
With that, Chen Xinjie turned and left, hurrying toward the viewing platform. After he left, Ya Li crouched down in front of Yun Feng and said, "Feng'er, you need to think this through carefully."
"I've been thinking about it for a long time already," Yun Feng said.
Back when she herself was not yet stable, the War God Hall truly could protect her.
But as she grew older, the War God Hall had become a restraint to her instead.
She needed more and more energy!
At the War God Hall, it was impossible to obtain such an enormous amount of energy without alerting others.
She had to leave.
Seeing how resolute Yun Feng was, Ya Li said no more.
"Sigh... all right!"
"As long as you've thought it through!"
Of course.
There was another reason Ya Li no longer tried to persuade Yun Feng to stay.
With Yun Feng in the War God Hall, it was inconvenient for her to take her away.
But if Yun Feng was no longer in the War God Hall, wouldn't she have a chance to bring Yun Feng to Shrek Academy?
When the time came, with Shrek Academy's capabilities, they could certainly make Yun Feng develop a favorable impression of the academy. Then they could have some of the academy's younger generation become friends with her.
If the future Hall Master of the War God Hall had a good relationship with Shrek Academy's younger generation, then in the future, the academy would have greater influence over her.
A good thing!
Yun Feng going out to gain experience.
This was a good thing for both Ya Li and Yun Feng.
Who would not be happy?
Naturally, Chen Xinjie and the others in the War God Hall!
Honestly speaking, they did not want Yun Feng to leave Bright Capital.
They would have preferred that she never leave the War God Hall.
Other than Sun Moon Imperial Soul Master Academy, it would be best if she went nowhere else, lest danger arise.
Yun Feng was too special.
The War God Hall's protection of her was almost pathologically obsessive.
For six years, two War Gods had accompanied and guarded her at all times without exception!
With the preparatory assessment over, the preparatory students would officially enter Sun Moon Imperial Soul Master Academy to study. The various families also brought their children to follow Divine Light Douluo and complete the formalities.
Yun Feng and Tang Wulin did not need to do any of that.
They came from the War God Hall, so someone would naturally handle it for them.
The group returned to the War God Hall.
When Tang Ziran and Lang Yue learned that Yun Feng had decided to go out and gain experience, they became extremely anxious.
"Feng'er, is this your decision?"
Lang Yue looked at Yun Feng and asked worriedly.
Yun Feng nodded.
"Yes!"
Tang Ziran said, "You need to think this through, Feng'er! Gaining experience is not the same as studying at school."
Yun Feng nodded. "Don't worry, Father, Mother!"
"Good!"
Lang Yue nodded.
She hugged Yun Feng and said, "Feng'er! Don't forget that we worry about you. You must not take risks."
Yun Feng responded as well. "Don't worry, Mother. I won't take risks."
Tang Ziran wrapped both Yun Feng and Lang Yue in his arms and said solemnly, "My child! Dad is proud of you. Remember, your mother and I will always be waiting for you at home."
"Me too! Sister, you must be careful," Tang Wulin said as well.
Yun Feng nodded and responded to each of them.
Yet Chen Xinjie, who had been listening to the family's conversation, frowned. He had invited Tang Ziran and Lang Yue here to persuade Yun Feng not to go out!
But this development seemed rather off. Why had the two of them agreed to let Yun Feng gain experience instead?
"Aren't you worried?" Chen Xinjie asked with a frown.
Hearing him, Lang Yue looked up and nodded.
"Of course we're worried!"
"But Your Excellency, parents will eventually grow old, and children must grow up!"
"Your Excellency has a child as well. You should understand."
As an ordinary person, Lang Yue could better feel the passage of time. In this regard, she saw things more clearly than Chen Xinjie.
Yet Chen Xinjie felt nothing about such matters.
He had a son.
But his son had merely been born from a woman he did not love because of a family marriage alliance.
Therefore, there had never truly been a normal father-son relationship between him and his son.
Chen Xinjie fell silent.
After a while, he finally sighed.
"I still don't agree."
After leaving those words behind, Chen Xinjie turned and left.
Yun Feng watched his departing back, her brows knitting slightly.
Damn it!
Why did he still not agree?
Yun Feng did not want to curse, but Lang Yue and Tang Ziran had both agreed. What right did he have to disagree?
Lang Yue lowered her head to look at Yun Feng and asked, "Feng'er, what should we do?"
"Sigh..."
"I know Uncle Chen is doing this for my sake. Don't worry!"
"I'll resolve this matter."
Resolve it?
How?
Of course Yun Feng knew that persuading Chen Xinjie would be troublesome.
Everything else was easy to discuss, but this matter was difficult.
So her choice was simple. Persuade him? What a joke. Her legs belonged to her. Could the War God Hall really keep her trapped?
One day, Yun Feng used testing herself in the Spirit Ascension Platform as an excuse and left the War God Hall with Bi Ji.
