He stopped mid-sentence.
Because he discovered that he had indeed watched helplessly as his disciple was in danger...
If it weren't for Kong Qiusu's desperate distress signal...
If Xie Feng hadn't happened to see that signal...
If it weren't for Long Cangxue's exceptional perception...
His expression shifted, revealing a hint of guilt, before he suddenly hardened his face and reprimanded, "Don't meddle too much!"
Xie Feng had no idea that he had gone through such a complicated emotional journey in such a short time; he only received his words.
Xie Feng retorted, "You've been telling me to stay out of it! Stay out of it! But behind my back, you've been silently enduring all of this, haven't you?! You think I'm not strong enough, so you tell me not to interfere, is that it?!"
Mu Bingxing looked at him, paused for a moment, and then nodded sincerely. "Hmm, that's how it is..."
Xie Feng: "..."
Let him cough up blood and die here...
Mu Bingxing frowned, recalling his disciple's words. "Why would you say that? And why did you suddenly arrive in the Tenth Universe? Do you know something?"
Xie Feng remained silent.
Mu Bingxing a light breath, "This is the last time I'll make a promise with you. Once you reach the Great Emperor realm, I will tell you everything! Everything that confuses you! Until then, please accept the protection of me and Lady Cangxue!"
Master...
"Actually, I already know about my background..."
Xie Feng couldn't bear to deceive his master.
Mu Bingxing taken aback.
Xie Feng said, "I know I am a young master of the Chaos Lineage. My father's name is Xie Xuanyuan, and my mother's name is Mu Yueheng. They died in an accident during the Eternal Night, and I was born on the very day they died! Later, you found me and brought me back to the Xuanji Sect!"
"Go on! What else do you know?"
"My mother's surname is Mu, and yours is also Mu. You both come from the Jade Pivot Lineage, which is why you raised me and why you had a conflict with the Chaos Lineage, right?"
"..."
Mu Bingxing silent, which was unusual for him.
He remained silent for a long time.
Then, he looked up at the sky and sighed, "Who told you all this? Was it Xie Ling?"
Xie Feng, seeing the unbelievable scene of two people and a beast chatting and laughing in the distance, said, " Sister Ling and Xie Hun!"
"One of them is the head of a branch family, and the other is the eldest son of a branch family. They must know more and more truthfully than you. Since they've told you, I have nothing more to say."
Mu Bingxing shrugged and quickly accepted the fact.
Xie Feng stared at him, his gaze sharp, as if trying to see through his disguise. "No! There's more! There are still many things that confuse me! Those are questions that I'll need you to answer, Master!"
"What?"
The cause of my parents' deaths!
"That's all ancient history, how would I know?"
"You've been investigating!"
Who told you I've been investigating?
Mu Bingxing's expression changed slightly.
Xie Feng seemed to realize that his current demeanor was rather aggressive, so he unconsciously lowered his stance slightly and said with a lowered gaze, "I guessed!"
"Unfounded speculation!"
Mu Bingxing seemed very angry.
Xie Feng thought for a moment, then asked, "There's one more question I'd like to know."
" Third Brother, it's been years, you're starting to look more and more like the second brother. I remember how respectful you used to be to me!"
Mu Bingxing frowned, a few lines forming on his brow, looking somewhat helpless.
Xie Feng cupped his hands respectfully and said, "A teacher is one who imparts knowledge, teaches skills, and resolves doubts. I have another question I would like to ask you, Master."
Mu Bingxing: "..."
Okay, so you're pulling this trick, huh?
He gritted his teeth!
"Speak!"
"I've heard that the Jade Pivot Lineage has declined, with only three people remaining. Mother is one, you are two, so who is the third?"
Xie Feng sincerely raised his head and looked at him earnestly.
Mu Bingxing raised his eyes, gazing into the distance at the figure in the aloof silver robe atop the Immortal Emperor Dragon...
Xie Feng asked, "Is it her?"
Mu Bingxing nodded. "It's her!"
Xie Feng said, "Now, Master, may you tell me about Lady Cangxue's background?"
Mu Bingxing for a moment, then continued, "She is currently the strongest person in the Tenth Universe, unmatched in the world. Her father, Long Jun, was a disciple of the former head of the Jade Pivot Lineage and also the former ruler of the Tenth Universe. Her mother, Xuan Xian, was the former ruler of the Ninth Universe. At the very last moment of their lives, their two immense cosmic wills merged into one, transforming into her! She was born with the ability to maintain order! Of course, this ability also allows her to destroy and create order!"
Hearing this, Xie Feng continued, adding, "That's why she came to rescue you after you were injured in the battle with Xie Tu at the Chaos Lineage and were imprisoned!"
Mu Bingxing laughed heartily, "As the saying goes, when fellow villagers meet, their eyes well up with tears! By the way, Third Brother, there's something I wanted to give you back then, but you left too early in that illusion, and I didn't get to give it to you."
He took something out and handed it to Xie Feng.
It was a small, dark blue square plaque adorned with a silver chain, and in the center of the plaque was written a large, gilded character. "Thank you!"
Presumably due to their age, the signs are somewhat faded and dull.
"This is the identity token of the Chaos Lineage, from your father! With it, you can freely enter and exit anywhere in the Tenth Universe and the Land of Chaos!"
Upon seeing this, Xie Feng raised an eyebrow.
He remembered that the Imperial Evil Lord had given him one before!
Xie Feng hurriedly took out the identity token, which was exactly the same as the one his master had, except that it was slightly smaller!
It turns out that Imperial Evil Lord, or rather Xie Hun, had already recognized him back then!
So they gave him an identity token!
Each person only has one of these items, but Xie Hun, being a young master from the Aristocratic Clan, naturally has the right to ask for several more.
Xie Feng took Xie Xuanyuan's identity token, and as soon as he grasped it, his palm burned!
In that instant!
He could feel a connection through his bloodline!
The identity token inherently contains a trace of the holder's bloodline information!
Mu Bingxing said, "When you return to the Land of Chaos, you will also have your own identity token. I won't say any more; I should go now."
"Master, have your old injuries healed?" Xie Feng suddenly asked, somewhat stammering.
He seemed unaccustomed to expressing this concern directly.
Mu Bingxing laughed, "Oh, you've grown up, you even know how to care about your master now. Xie Tu is very powerful. Back then, your master only had a remnant soul left, but I still had to wander around you often, otherwise I wouldn't feel at ease. So I had to occasionally crawl into other people's bodies and pretend to be myself... Oops, I've said too much without realizing it. Anyway, your master has recovered, otherwise I wouldn't have gone to the Land of Chaos to cause trouble again."
Xie Feng breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "That puts my mind at ease!"
Mu Bingxing reiterated, "You absolutely must listen to me. You're not allowed to go anywhere until you reach the Great Emperor realm!"
