Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

“I am an elder of Canaan Academy. I happened to be passing through North Mang City and heard that Chen Xiaoyu’s family had suffered a calamity, so I came to take a look.”

Han Feng explained.

"Chen Xiaoyu is an outstanding student, and I have a deep impression of him."

Hearing Han Feng's explanation, Chen Yunshu breathed a sigh of relief.

"So it's a senior from Canaan Academy. I am Chen Yunshu. Thank you for saving my life!"

After saying this, she bowed deeply.

"Xiaoyu went to study at Danta and hasn't returned yet."

Han Feng nodded.

"Danta, that's a good place."

Back then, he wanted to recommend Chen Xiaoyu to study at Danta.

However, he had not yet been assessed at the seventh rank in the Pill Tower at that time, so he was not authoritative enough.

Although Han Feng hasn't gone to the Pill Tower for the assessment yet, he will definitely go in the future, since the Three Thousand Burning Flames are located in the Pill Tower.

I wonder how much Chen Xiaoyu will have grown by then.

"Alright, since she's not here, I won't bother her any longer."

Han Feng prepared to say goodbye and leave.

“That old lady from the Yu family is a shrewd person. With my warning, she shouldn’t lay a hand on you again.”

Before leaving, Han Feng said one more thing.

"Senior, please stay!"

Chen Yunshu suddenly called out to Han Feng.

“My Chen family has a treasure called the Spirit-Nourishing Gourd, which can repair damaged souls. I would like to offer it to you, senior.”

Han Feng paused, then slowly turned around.

"What do you want by offering up this priceless treasure?"

Chen Yunshu replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Now that the Chen family is in decline, we are powerless to protect this treasure. Rather than let it be taken away by others, we would like to offer it to you, senior, and ask that you... protect the Chen family!"

Chen Yunshu saw it very clearly: this was a world where the strong preyed on the weak.

Rather than handing your fate over to others, it's better to choose your own path.

The Chen family members were discussing it amongst themselves, with some blaming Chen Yunshu for revealing the treasure.

That's the Chen family's property, what right does she have to make that decision!

"Chen Yunshu, the old lady of the Yu family has already agreed to let the Chen family go, why bother you any further, senior?"

"Exactly, it's unnecessary."

As the crisis passed, some people's thought processes returned to normal.

Chen Yunshu's face was icy cold.

Every family has short-sighted members, and this becomes especially apparent in times of crisis.

Han Feng ignored the voices and just looked at Chen Yunshu, waiting for her reaction.

He only came to the Chen family because of Chen Xiaoyu.

There was no intention to provide any special assistance.

The fact that the Yu family was intimidated was enough to allow the Chen family to recover.

However, if the Chen family loses its composure and becomes overconfident, it will likely not be long before it is divided up by the various powerful forces in the city that are eyeing it covetously.

Without a Dou Zong level expert, the Chen family would only be an eyesore in Bei Mang City.

The wisest choice right now is to abandon the city and find a new place to live.

"enough!"

Chen Yunshu's shout silenced the clansmen who were discussing the matter.

“The Chen family is currently at an unprecedented low. I know that many people in the family are thinking of splitting up and leaving. I do not object to that. But if there are any of you who still care about the family and want to persevere with the Chen family, I, Chen Yunshu, guarantee with my life that I will stand in front of all of you, overcome all obstacles, and get through this difficult time.”

"Those who wish to separate from the family should go to the storeroom and collect their valuables; from this day forward, they will no longer be considered members of the Chen family."

From the crowd, a middle-aged man stepped forward, his expression unfriendly.

"How will the treasures be divided?"

Chen Yunshu glanced at this elder of the clan and slowly closed her eyes.

"If you want the treasure, you'll have to ask my sword first!"

Chen Yunshu opened her eyes, and the icy blue chill froze the air. The middle-aged man who had spoken earlier had a shifty look in his eyes, and finally gritted his teeth and snorted.

"You! Well done! Young lady, you have quite the spirit!"

"Let's go, hmph!"

The other party, accompanied by some of their clansmen, walked towards the door.

His arrogance was far greater than when Old Lady Yu was around; he held his head high and puffed out his chest.

Han Feng watched this scene with amusement.

This is the kind of person who is a bully at home but a coward at home.

However, since she is an elder in the family, Miss Chen is indeed difficult to deal with.

If one is merciful, one will lead one's people to destruction; if one is ruthless, one does not know how to strike the right balance.

After the truly outstanding members of the Chen family perished, what remained were only those who were no longer up to par.

Fortunately, Chen Yunshu had the cultivation of a Dou Huang; otherwise, she wouldn't have had a chance to speak in this family and would have been sent to the Yu family by her elders long ago.

"Senior, please come and take a look."

Chen Yunshu walked up to Han Feng and bowed respectfully.

Han Feng was indeed curious about the treasure that could repair the soul, since his soul power had not yet fully recovered.

Han Feng followed Chen Yunshu into the Chen family's interior.

Chen Yunshu activated the mechanism and formed a hand seal, and a hidden room slowly opened.

The head of the Chen family was grooming his eldest daughter to be his successor, so he told her the secret of the secret room early on.

In the past, her father would always bring her in, but now she was alone.

Chen Yunshu was filled with sorrow, but she forced herself not to show it.

However, she was unaware that all her emotional fluctuations were clearly perceived by Han Feng's [Brahma Heart].

Putting aside his relationship with Chen Xiaoyu, Han Feng believed that Chen Yunshu was an extremely rare and insightful person.

Her mind was very firm. Neither the threats from the old lady of the Yu family nor the distrust from her own family members could shake her resolve.

Call it stubbornness or obstinacy.

At least when Han Feng was her age, she didn't have such a consistent mindset.

In retrospect, nothing says are as insightful as the four words "treat yourself with sincerity".

It takes immense courage to do what you believe is right.

Han Feng watched the woman's retreating figure, his gaze subtly filled with admiration.

"This is it."

Chen Yunshu squatted down, the back of her robe torn by Old Lady Yu, revealing her proud, snow-white skin.

She activated the second mechanism, and the structure of the dark room changed. A gourd vine descended from the top, with a full, silver gourd hanging from it.

"so beautiful!"

Qinglin and Lin Xian'er were the first to express their admiration.

This gourd is clearly no ordinary item.

Qinglin's Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupil was in the initial awakening stage, but it could still sense the spiritual light emanating from the gourd, demonstrating just how terrifying its effect on condensing spiritual energy was.

Chen Yunshu took a deep breath and picked up the Spirit Nourishing Gourd.

"Senior, this is the treasure of my Chen family, the Spirit Nourishing Gourd."

Han Feng took the gourd and felt the warm flow of spiritual energy in his hand.

This gourd is not dead; it retains its vitality even after being separated from the vine.

Han Feng activated his soul power, penetrating into the gourd's interior.

There was a small amount of spiritual liquid inside, and the moment the soul touched it, it felt a wave of comfort.

"The Spirit Nourishing Gourd absorbs the essence of heaven and earth, and condenses a drop of spiritual liquid every month. Its greatest effect is to repair the soul."

Chen Yunshu explained the benefits of gourds.

“My Chen family once sold the spiritual liquid to major sects, but a week later we found that those sects began to investigate the source of the spiritual liquid. At first we thought there was something wrong with the spiritual liquid, but later we learned that the spiritual liquid was so miraculous that it attracted the covetous eyes of the major sects.”

"After that, the family's higher-ups decided to use the spirit liquid internally. They added a ten-thousand-fold diluted spirit liquid to the medicine sold to the public, and the effect was significantly better than other medicines of the same product."

"The Chen family gradually grew stronger from then on."

After listening to Chen Yunshu's explanation, Han Feng sighed.

"This is the Chen family's heirloom! You really want to give me something this good?"

"nature."

Chen Yunshu nodded.

“I know very well how many enemies the Chen family has, and the Yu family is just the first one to jump out.”

Have you considered developing your career in other cities?

Han Feng asked.

Chen Yunshu remained silent for a moment, then clasped her hands in a respectful greeting.

"I will follow your instructions, senior."

Han Feng was taken aback for a moment, then laughed.

"Back then, Chen Xiaoyu wanted to become my apprentice, but I refused."

"Do you know why?"

Chen Yunshu guessed, "Is it because Xiaoyu didn't catch the senior's eye?"

Han Feng shook his head: "On the contrary, I have high hopes for her. It's just because it's dangerous around me. If you want to be my apprentice, you have to be prepared to give up everything."

Lin Xian'er slightly opened her small mouth.

real or fake?

Is it dangerous to be around Master?

How come I didn't feel anything at all?

"Do you still want the Chen family to follow me?"

Chen Yunshu's eyes shifted, eventually settling into a resolute expression.

"The Chen family is willing to follow in your footsteps, senior. We humbly request that you take us in!"

Han Feng looked at Chen Yunshu without saying a word for a long time.

Chen Yunshu was tormented, and she wasn't sure if what she was doing was appropriate.

But she knew very well that Han Feng's opportunity to come would only come once. If she missed it, even if they met again in the future, he would not give her and the Chen family the chance to talk face to face like this again.

Finally, Han Feng uttered a single word.

"it is good."

Chen Yunshu breathed a huge sigh of relief and took a deep breath on the spot.

People cannot share each other's joys and sorrows, but Han Feng deeply felt Chen Yunshu's relief at this moment.
