Hearing Old Meng's words, the purple-robed elder smiled in surprise and said, "It's been a long time since I've seen you appreciate a young man so much. But Yang Zhen is indeed quite good. Apart from being a bit unconventional, both his talent and temperament are second to none."
Old Meng seemed quite smug, and said smugly, "That's right, how could the young people I, Meng Tinghao, value lack character and talent? So what if they're unconventional? So what if they're a little cheeky? Everyone's been young before, so what?"
Feng Jingtu watched the two old men lavish praise on Yang Zhen and could only manage a wry smile. Yang Zhen wasn't just a bit eccentric; he was downright shameless to the bone. Guo Jing, a man of steel, though greedy and narrow-minded, was still a figure in Mountain and River City. Yet, he was so terrified of Yang Zhen that he wet his pants. Even if his cultivation wasn't crippled, he would be too ashamed to show his face in public.
"You can offend anyone, but never offend Yang Zhen," Feng Jingtu had heard this from someone he'd been asking around these past few days.
Although Yang Zhen Yang Zhen a bad reputation, he is not particularly ruthless towards his enemies. He is just despicable, often to the point that people feel like they are living a life worse than death and question their existence. However, from the information he has gathered in the past few days, Feng Jingtu Feng Jingtu gradually realized a problem: although Yang Zhen's actions seem selfish and despicable, he is also exceptionally righteous and magnanimous in his life.
This is rather frightening. In conclusion, Yang Zhen is either a truly villainous person or a person of great wisdom. This level of understanding in dealing with people is what truly surprised Feng Jingtu.
So when others were bewildered by the two Peak Mahayana Realm experts praising Yang Zhen, Feng Jingtu could understand the thoughts of the two seniors. Only those with a high level of cultivation could appreciate the extraordinary and carefree state of Yang Zhen's abilities to achieve all this.
Yang Zhen was almost insane, but few people truly understood him; this was a kind of great freedom.
Yang Zhen, still at the small pavilion, was unaware that the two old men at the Mahayana Realm and Feng Jingtu held him in such high regard. Even if he did know, he would at most be completely bewildered and say to the three of them, "You're overthinking it!"
As Feng Jingtu's thoughts wandered, two Peak Mahayana Realm experts, Meng Tinghao and the purple-robed elder, suddenly trembled. They exchanged a glance, exclaimed in surprise, and abruptly leaped out of the council hall, rushing towards the small building.
The sudden action startled everyone in the council hall, especially Feng Jingtu, who thought something had happened at Xiaozhu. His expression changed immediately, and he hurriedly called out and rushed towards Xiaozhu.
Halfway there, Feng Jingtu was suddenly jolted, finally understanding why the two Peak Mahayana Realm experts had suddenly left the council hall.
In mid-air, an extremely subtle and strange aura lingered around the small building, spreading further and further outwards. Feng Jingtu was certain that this aura was coming from the direction of the small building, and that it had not existed before.
Something must have happened at Xiaozhu. As for whether it's good or bad, you can tell just by looking at the expressions of the two Peak Mahayana Realm experts!
Feng Jingtu's expression was solemn. He then went to the small building, but was stopped by Meng Tinghao.
Meng Tinghao, who was usually hot-tempered, now looked solemn as he stared in the direction of the small building and said, "Strange, even I have never encountered this aura before. It is neither True Essence nor Literary Qi, nor does it seem to be the energy fluctuation emitted by an array. What kind of power is it?"
The purple-robed elder's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed in horror, "Could it be... the Void Power?"
"What?" Meng Tinghao was utterly shocked. He looked at the purple-robed elder with disbelief, shook his head, and said:
"No, I once had the privilege of sensing a trace of Void Power. Although it was strange, it wasn't as lingering as this current aura. It was a sharp, fragment-like quality, much like a spatial fragment. Clearly, the rumors that Yang Zhen has mastered Power of the Void are somewhat exaggerated. Just how much power does this kid Yang Zhen actually possess? Doesn't he know the saying 'don't bite off more than you can chew'?"
Upon hearing Meng Tinghao's words, the purple-robed elder gave him a strange look. It was clear that Meng Tinghao had genuinely developed a fondness for Yang Zhen's talent.
The purple-robed elder took a deep breath and said with regret, " Old Feng was the first among us to touch the threshold of the Mahayana Realm. Now we are all at the Peak Mahayana Realm, but he... I wonder if Yang Zhen really has a way to heal Old Feng's injuries."
"Even if he can be saved, it's already extremely difficult for Old Feng to survive. As for his cultivation..." Meng Tinghao clicked his tongue in amazement, and after a long while, he finally spoke to Feng Jingtu, "Kid, don't have too high expectations. As long as you're alive, you'll slowly regain your cultivation. Don't worry, with us old guys around, the Feng Household will be fine."
Feng Jingtu smiled wryly and said, "Senior, you are overthinking it. In this situation, how could I possibly have any improper thoughts? As long as Yang Zhen can save Grandpa's life, I and the entire Feng Household will be extremely grateful. I would never dare to have the idea of letting Yang Zhen protect Grandpa's strength."
"It's good that you know. Among the younger generation of the Feng Household, only you and that little girl Feng Lingqiao are considered to have any intelligence. Don't let Old Feng down."
At this point, Meng Tinghao's expression changed, and he exclaimed, "Why did you stop? I'll go in and take a look."
The strange, inexplicable aura indeed disappeared. Upon hearing this, Feng Jingtu's expression turned somewhat grim. Since they had stopped, the situation must be quite dire. However, upon hearing Meng Tinghao's desire to go in and check, Feng Jingtu hurriedly stopped Meng Tinghao, shaking his head and saying, "Senior, Yang Zhen said that no one should disturb him during this time. I dare not slacken my vigilance in the slightest. You see..."
Meng Tinghao glared at Feng Jingtu, about to reprimand him, but then snorted and said, "Fine, I'd like to see just how capable Yang Zhen really is. This old man, with both legs already in his coffin, his body so broken and battered, can he really make him lively and energetic again?"
Upon hearing this, Meng Tinghao's expression froze, and he gave a wry smile. Those who knew Meng Tinghao's personality would be better off, but those who didn't would definitely fight him upon hearing this.
The old man in purple robes also looked on with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, his expression becoming complicated as he looked at Xiaozhu.
Inside the bamboo house, Yang Zhen opened his eyes in surprise, staring blankly at the old man from the Feng Household still lying on the bed, muttering to himself, "Damn it, what just happened?"
"You... have had an epiphany."
Old Feng's voice came through, sounding strange. Yang Zhen could tell that the old man's tone was bewildered, clearly startled by him.
Yang Zhen said rather embarrassedly, "Oh, I'm so sorry. I got so engrossed in thinking about something that I suddenly had a breakthrough. I'll start over. Don't worry, I'm getting somewhere. This time it won't take too long."
Old Feng: "..."
The so-called Heaven Realm is the Unity of Heaven and Man!
Yang Zhen's ability to achieve sudden enlightenment under various conditions, besides his exceptional talent, is also related to his thinking and level of understanding. After nine years of compulsory education, developing divergent thinking skills that allow one to draw inferences from one instance is no joke.
Yang Zhen took a deep breath and slowly placed his hand on Old Feng's body. Even though Old Man Old Feng had lived a whole life and his body was in such a broken state, he was so frightened that he trembled all over and almost broke down.
"Hey, folks, don't get agitated."
Yang Zhen was also startled. She had finally dared to touch it, but the old man got so excited that he shook it off.
That's a bit ridiculous.
However, Yang Zhen didn't care about any of that. The thing he had just realized was pretty Niu Bi, and he still hadn't come to his senses.
