Covering the Sky: I, Wang Teng, truly lack the bearing of an emperor.

Chapter 73 Seeing Hua Yunfei, do you think I'd let you bully my junior brother?
On the peak of the star, a dozen or so young people, both men and women, were already sitting cross-legged. In front of them were low tables laden with fruit and wine.

In the very center, a man in blue is playing the zither.

The melodious music attracted nearby birds to fly over and land beside the man in blue.

The young men and women around them were also captivated, listening to the melodious, ethereal music.

Even after the song ended, the bird refused to leave, lingering beside the man in blue.

“Hua Yunfei…” Lu Hao thought to himself as he looked at the smiling man in blue.

This character is also a famous tragic protagonist in the novel "Covering the Sky".

Despite doing nothing herself, she was forced to bear the identity of the successor of the Ruthless Great Emperor, and the cultivation techniques she practiced were all for the benefit of others.

Even so, Hua Yunfei did not hunt down other prodigies. Instead, he walked among the graves to search for those who had fallen many years ago and possessed special physiques.

In terms of talent and ability, Hua Yunfei is one of the best in the Eastern Wilderness. He once sparred with the Ji family's divine body and the match ended in a draw.

The only regrettable thing is Hua Yunfei's fate.

A fish that cannot escape the river of fate.

But it's okay!

The young master of the Wang family has arrived!

Hua Yunfei's spring has arrived!

Lu Hao entered the venue with a smile on his face, accompanied by his two junior brothers and sisters.

Halfway there, Ji Ziyue whispered to Ye Fan and Lu Hao that Hua Yunfei was a remarkable person who had once sparred privately with Ji Haoyue, the divine body of the Ji family.

Lu Hao naturally knew about this, and he also knew that Ji Haoyue was still not confident in attacking his true form.

Upon seeing the arrival of the three representatives from Zhuofeng, Hua Yunfei, the man in blue, stood up to greet them and exchanged many polite words.

"I've been in seclusion for too long and was unaware of what happened at Xingfeng. It truly pains me. From now on, I will remind the disciples of Xingfeng," said Hua Yunfei, the man in blue, politely.

Xingfeng was once the main force for "exploring" Zhuofeng, but that time it just so happened that Qifeng caused trouble, so Lu Hao used Qifeng to establish his authority, and before he could come to Xingfeng, he was called back by Li Ruoyu, the peak master of Zhuofeng.

“Young people are bound to be impatient and restless, I can understand that,” Lu Hao nodded and said.

He looked to be only a teenager, slightly more mature than Ye Fan, but still quite young compared to the other dozen or so people present.

But when he said that, no one showed any unusual expression.

Everyone knows that this seemingly young senior brother Zhuofeng is truly powerful. At such a young age, he has already reached the fourth level of the Dao Palace realm and can withstand the attacks of cultivators from the Four Extremes Secret Realm!
If it weren't for the elders of Qifeng intervening, the outcome of that battle would have been uncertain!

With such a record, who would dare to judge Lu Hao, the senior disciple of Zhuofeng, based on his age?

“Since Senior Brother Zhuofeng is so magnanimous, can this matter be left as it is? I would like to play a piece for everyone, hoping that the grudges between Zhuofeng and Xingfeng can be wiped away, and that we can continue to work together for the Tai Xuan Sect.” Hua Yunfei said with a light laugh.

He bent his fingers again and plucked the strings, producing a melodious and enchanting sound that captivated the listener.

The birds in the forest landed again, showing no fear of people snuggling up to Hua Yunfei. Even the fish in the stream were trying to flick their tails to counteract the force of the current, lingering there to listen to the music a little longer, and some even leaped out of the water.

Lu Hao couldn't help but marvel; it was the first time he had ever seen someone with such high musical attainments.

Hua Yunfei, what a pity!
As the song ended, the birds took flight, circling and reluctant to leave. The fish in the stream leaped onto the bank, swishing their tails, as if begging Hua Yunfei to play another song. Hua Yunfei bent down, picked up the fish, and held its body in his smooth, warm hand before releasing it back into the stream.

“Fish are born in the water, how can they easily come ashore?” Hua Yunfei said softly, his voice gentle.

"This guy named Hua Yunfei is pretty good," Ye Fan said in a low voice.

Indeed, if someone doesn't know Hua Yunfei, it's easy to develop a liking for him at first sight and after a short time together.

This guy's main traits are gentleness, approachability, and a sunny disposition, making him completely different from other prodigies.

"Don't underestimate him, he's very strong!" Ji Ziyue wrinkled her nose and reminded Ye Fan again.

"Speaking of which, where's your brother? I haven't seen him." Ye Fan asked in a low voice.

"I don't know. My great-grandfather said my brother is coming too, he's probably still on his way," Ji Ziyue said softly.

On the other side, Hua Yunfei raised the cup in his hand, gesturing to Zhuofeng and the other two.

He drank it all in one gulp, and Lu Hao followed suit.

"I heard from Junior Sister Xiaoman that Brother Ye comes from another place, far away from the Eastern Wilderness. The civilization there is brilliant and completely different from the Eastern Wilderness?" Hua Yunfei suddenly asked.

Lu Hao remained expressionless, still holding his wine glass.

Upon hearing this, the dozen or so people from Xingfeng all looked at Ye Fan. Ye Fan's smile remained bright. "Junior Sister Xiaoman is talking nonsense. That place is just our hometown. It's far inferior to the Eastern Wilderness. She must be too homesick to think that place is so nice."

Ji Ziyue gently nudged Ye Fan, seemingly asking for his opinion, but Ye Fan remained unfazed, smiling as he met Hua Yunfei's gaze.

Beside Hua Yunfei, a woman in white lowered her head, her long hair falling down, looking serene and beautiful.

“Young Master Ye is too modest. If there is an opportunity in the future, I would really like to discuss things with you. I am also very curious about those places and feel that they must be closely related to our area,” Hua Yunfei said.

Ye Fan still had a smile on his face, but he was already very unhappy.

He didn't know if Li Xiaoman had revealed that they came from the other side of the stars, which was their biggest secret.

At this crucial moment, how could Lu Hao watch his junior brother suffer a loss?

Although he appeared lazy, he had already demonstrated his strength at the Tai Xuan Sect, so how could he stand by and watch Ye Fan be relentlessly pursued?
"Since Junior Sister Xiaoman and my junior brother come from the same place, why are you asking my junior brother about this? Junior Sister Xiaoman is right here at Xingfeng, why go to such lengths to ask a disciple of my Zhuofeng about this?"

Lu Hao spoke, holding his wine glass, looking at the man in blue.

Beside Hua Yunfei, the girl in white spoke, gently stroking her long hair, "Senior Brother Hua has already asked me many questions, but he simply wants to understand my hometown from more perspectives."

Hua Yunfei nodded. "Yes, that's exactly what I meant."

"Then why not go and see for yourself? Doesn't Junior Sister Xiaoman want to take Brother Hua there?" Lu Hao continued.

He seemed aggressive, but in reality, he gave Ye Fan a chance to breathe.

As for taking Hua Yunfei to see it?
Ye Fan wasn't worried. They were separated by a whole starry sky; he didn't think the domain gate could span that far.

Just as Hua Yunfei was about to speak, a loud laugh came from afar.

A dozen or so figures walked towards this side.
