Xie Feng poured two cups of tea. With a slight movement of his fingers, the teacups slid automatically towards Lu Yinjian. Lu Yinjian and lightly caught the teacups without spilling a single drop of tea!
The tea was fragrant and smooth, and Lu Yinjian took a sip, then smiled and said, "You and the Devil Emperor are from the same school, but your personalities are completely different."
Xie Feng smiled and said, "I'm rather steady, kind, and easygoing, aren't I?"
After a moment of silence, Lu Yinjian said, "No, I've changed my mind. You two do have something in common when it comes to narcissism!"
Xie Feng said, "I call this confidence. Don't you have confidence?"
Lu Yinjian: "..."
A moment of silence.
Lu Yinjian said solemnly, "Sect Leader Xie wishes to speak with me alone. What is it you wish to discuss?"
Xie Feng swirled his teacup, shrugged, and chuckled, "Well, I'll get straight to the point. For the safety and peace of myself and the rest of the Xuanji Sect, I will sever all ties with your Devil Race from now on!"
Lu Yinjian looked up at him and said calmly, "You are very strong, and you possess a soul entity with unfathomable power. There's no need for you to be so cautious."
Xie Feng's laughter was chilling. "You're indeed different from Shuangyan and the others; you have such a sharp eye!"
Lu Yinjian said, "As one of the Devil Emperor's most trusted people, I naturally have some skills."
"There's one thing I think you should be well aware of: the Imperial Evil Realm has a bad reputation, but my reputation is quite good. So, you and the Imperial Evil Realm had better stay away from me, get as far away as possible... cough..."
Xie Feng coughed lightly.
Lu Yinjian thought for a moment, then nodded. "Okay!"
Xie Feng asked, "There's one more question."
"Please speak."
"We're family, so... can you tell me your plans for the future?"
All I can say is... expand our territory!
Lu Yinjian took a sip of tea and gave a somewhat conservative and cautious answer.
"I have some friends who Earthborn Devil Creature..." Xie Feng said, looking at the former, "Do you understand what I mean?"
Lu Yinjian said, "I can leave your friend alone."
Xie Feng breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good! May I ask what your first step is?"
Lu Yinjian stated bluntly, "Head west, and annihilate the Illusory Void Feilian Race!"
Xie Feng: "..."
Damn it, I just said I wouldn't touch it, and it caught up with me in an instant!
After a moment of silence, Xie Feng said, " The Illusory Void Feilian Race are, for now, my friends."
"I can change the decision."
Lu Yinjian remained calm. He was wary of Xie Feng for three reasons: first, Xie Feng's status as the Devil Emperor's junior brother; second, Xie Feng's soul form; and third, Xie Feng's potential.
That's why he remained so calm and made concessions at every step!
Anyone else would have been torn to pieces for Xie Feng those words!
Xie Feng was completely satisfied.
Lu Yinjian said, "As for the Devil Emperor's condition, I will find a way to treat him. I'm counting on you these days!"
Xie Feng waved his hand. "It's my duty!"
Lu Yinjian stood up and nodded. "I should go back!"
Xie Feng said, "Take care, don't bother seeing me off."
Lu Yinjian took two steps, then suddenly turned back and smiled brightly at Xie Feng: "Also, your younger sister is very cute!"
After saying that, he vanished instantly.
After he left, Xie Feng felt increasingly uneasy!
Little Sword's voice rang out. "Are you made up? You've said something so obvious! This guy definitely likes Xiao Shang!"
Xie Feng frowned. "I just can't stand the sight of him..."
Little Sword said, "If you're really angry, I'll go to the Imperial Evil Realm and assassinate him!"
Xie Feng said, "Oh, go ahead."
Little Sword said, "Well... never mind, I was just kidding..."
Xie Feng: "..."
Little Sword: "..."
It's not that it's cowardly, it's that it didn't expect Xie Feng to say that!
That's too hasty!
Xie Feng sighed, somewhat conflicted. "Tell me, do I really like Xiao Shang? What do I see her as now? A younger sister, or...?"
Little Sword asked, "When you heard that that black and white rat... cough cough, don't worry about the name, it's just a nickname I gave him because I don't like him, how did you feel when you heard he might like Xiao Shang?"
Xie Feng said, "I'm not happy!"
Little Sword pressed on, "What's the reason for your dissatisfaction?"
Xie Feng said, "It's as if someone very important is about to be taken away!"
Little Sword patiently persuaded, "Let's put ourselves in each other's shoes. If you replaced Xiao Shang with your bookish senior brother, and a girl liked him, how would you feel?"
Xie Feng blurted out, "Who's blind?"
Little Sword: "..."
Kong Qiusu: "..."
"Hahaha!" Little Sword burst into cheerful laughter. "That's right! See, this is the difference between family love and romantic love! You feel nothing when facing family love, but when facing romantic love, you feel the heartache of loss!"
Xie Feng slapped his thigh, "That makes sense!"
Little Sword said with a grin, "Young man, don't miss out on this love! Xiao Shang's beautiful, has a great personality, and has always been there for you, quietly doing so much for you—a true virtuous wife!"
Xie Feng nodded. "I understand!"
Little Sword said with satisfaction, "This child is teachable!"
At this moment, Kong Qiusu raised a crucial question, "Junior brother, do you believe in this old lightsaber who has never been in love and has been lonely for countless centuries?"
Little Sword wrestled with him in his Dantian: "Who are you calling an old lightsaber! You're just like me! You old bachelor! Brother Xie, you have to believe me, an outsider sees things more clearly! You've met quite a few girls along the way, but none of them can compare to Xiao Shang..."
Then, there was silence.
Because it was knocked unconscious by Kong Qiusu.
Xie Feng: "..."
After leaving the sect leader's courtyard, Xie Feng found Yue Heng and gave her the Cultivation Method that Lu Yinjian had given him, asking her to teach it to the disciples.
Afterwards, he took Ge Ya back to the Illusory Void Feilian Race. Now he needs to keep his senior brother by his side to feel safe.
Because he wasn't sure if the person who hurt Ge Ya back then would reappear!
With Ge Ya by his side, and Kong Qiusu also there, as long as the three of them are together, they are the strongest!
The Origin Realm is so vast that when Xie Feng was in Eastern Dawn Valley it was night, but when he returned to the Illusory Void Feilian Race it was dawn, with the first rays of sunrise.
Upon entering the young master's residence, Su Jin rushed forward, excitedly saying, "Brother Xie, that was so satisfying! After you moved the Long-lasting Eternal Grass, Nan Mingli found out, and now she's pounding her chest and stomping her feet in fury! Hahahaha!"
"She's angry, and you're happy about it?" Xie Feng frowned.
"Schadenfreude, isn't it!"
Su Jin grinned, showing off his bright white teeth.
Xie Feng said, "Don't you think this will cause you trouble?"
"Oh right..." Su Jin paused for a moment, "I was so happy that I forgot Nan Mingli dislikes me!"
Xie Feng: "..."
At this moment, Ge Ya said, "I am sleepy!"
Su Jin whispered, "Having no cultivation is such a hassle. All you do is eat, drink, and sleep. Such precious time is being wasted!"
Ge Ya turned his head, staring at him menacingly. "What did you say?"
