212: Heading to the Phoenix Clan

After returning to Great Yan Academy, Feng Xueqing clung to Yang Lingchen like glue, the two inseparable, as if unwilling to part for even a moment.

"Boy, you truly surprise this old woman."

Granny Yu looked at Yang Lingchen with a hint of admiration and an unconcealed astonishment in her eyes.

She never imagined that the weak young man, who was like an ant back then, could break through from the Profound Understanding Realm to the Divine Void Realm in just two or three years, and furthermore, that he ascended from the Tianwu Continent, a place with depleted Spiritual Qi and scarce resources. This was simply an unbelievable miracle!

"Granny Yu, you flatter me."

Yang Lingchen spoke modestly, a gentle smile on his face.

"Although this old woman greatly admires you, if you two wish to be together, you still need the Clan Chief's consent."

Regarding the future of Feng Xueqing and Yang Lingchen, Granny Yu frowned slightly, not optimistic.

Although Yang Lingchen was considered the number one Genius in the Great Yan Dynasty now, if placed among Intermediate forces, calling him a good-for-nothing would not be an exaggeration.

For example, eighteen-year-old Feng Xueqing's cultivation level had already reached the Peak of the Divine Martial Realm ninth layer, while eighteen-year-old Yang Lingchen was only at the first layer of the Divine Void Realm. The gap between them was an insurmountable chasm, truly a world of difference.

It was conceivable, how could the Clan Chief of the Phoenix Clan marry off his precious daughter to someone whose strength was as low as an ant? Even if she were to marry, it must be to someone of equal status and comparable strength.

"Yang Lingchen, come with me to the Phoenix Clan! I'll find a way to make Father agree to us being together."

Feng Xueqing looked at Yang Lingchen with anticipation, her gaze full of determination and persistence.

"Mm-hmm!" Yang Lingchen nodded without hesitation. Even if Feng Xueqing didn't say it, he would still go to the Phoenix Clan, because only the Phoenix Clan had shaping grass.

"Girl, Granny advises you not to take him back. Your father will never agree to you two being together," Granny Yu said earnestly, her face full of worry.

"No matter what, I have to try!"

Feng Xueqing said with unwavering determination, her expression showing no sign of wavering.

"Alas! Very well then!"

Granny Yu sighed helplessly. She had watched Feng Xueqing grow up and also hoped that Feng Xueqing could eventually be with Yang Lingchen.

Two days passed in a flash.

Yang Lingchen's name completely shook the entire Great Yan Academy and the Great Yan Dynasty.

That day, Yang Lingchen received a Sound Transmission from Liu Xueying: "You scoundrel, I'm leaving. I believe we will meet again. When we do, I believe we will be the two most outstanding people in this world."

Yang Lingchen felt a touch of reluctance at Liu Xueying's departure. During this time, they had fought side by side, spent every day together, and occasionally bickered. Their feelings were as deep as those of close comrades-in-arms.

After a moment of melancholy, Yang Lingchen's fighting spirit soared, as he didn't want his cultivation level to lag far behind hers when they met again.

Another half a month passed in a blink of an eye. On this day, Feng Xueqing finally decided to return to the Phoenix Clan.

Before leaving, Yang Lingchen refined many supreme grade Medicinal Pills for the Alchemy Institute.

Yang Lingchen originally wanted to say goodbye to Ye Wushuang, but to his surprise, he hadn't seen Ye Wushuang again in the past half month.

He learned from Vice Dean that Ye Wushuang had gone out for training, and it was unknown when she would return.

Feng Xueqing pulled Zhou Yunxi Zhou Yunxi and said, "Auntie, Grandpa and Grandma have been talking about you for years. Go back when you have time!"

"Mm-hmm, I'll be back soon," Zhou Yunxi Zhou Yunxi smiled gently, her eyes full of warmth.

"Then we're leaving. We'll visit you again when we have time!" Feng Xueqing said, her tone carrying a hint of reluctance.

"Auntie will come to see you too when she has time!" Zhou Yunxi Zhou Yunxi said, a warm smile gracing her face.

"Goodbye, Zhou Yunxi!" Yang Lingchen said, his eyes filled with gratitude.

"We'll meet again soon!" Zhou Yunxi Zhou Yunxi smiled, her smile as warm as a spring breeze.

After bidding farewell to Zhou Yunxi Zhou Yunxi, Yang Lingchen followed Feng Xueqing and Granny Yu onto an incredibly luxurious mysterious boat.

Watching the mysterious boat disappear into the distance, Zhou Yunxi Zhou Yunxi's lips curved into a mysterious smile: "It's been so many years, and I've finally waited for you. I hope you don't disappoint this Venerable One."

The mysterious boat streaked through the air at high speed, like a ray of light across the sky.

Granny Yu shook her head helplessly, looking at Yang Lingchen and Feng Xueqing, who were tightly nestled together.

Yang Lingchen suddenly thought of Ling Yanyun, so he asked, "Xueqing, have you heard of Haoyue Demon Palace?"

"Haoyue Demon Palace? Of course I know! Why do you ask?" Feng Xueqing asked, a little puzzled.

"A friend I just met went to Haoyue Demon Palace, so I was just asking," Yang Lingchen said casually, his expression somewhat nonchalant.

"Then you'd better not get too close to him, otherwise you'll be in big trouble," Feng Xueqing said with a serious expression, her voice low.

"How so?" Yang Lingchen asked curiously, his eyes full of inquiry.

"Because Haoyue Demon Palace is a top Demonic Path force in Tianfeng World. Rumor has it that the Palace Master of Haoyue Demon Palace, Ling Yanyun, has lived for over a thousand years, and she is inherently cruel, having killed countless people in her lifetime. Her Disciples naturally wouldn't be much better."

Feng Xueqing said with a very serious and solemn expression.

Upon hearing this, Yang Lingchen's face instantly turned pale, and he secretly rejoiced: "My goodness, it's a good thing I didn't go looking for Sister Yanyun, otherwise I wouldn't even know how I died."

Seeing Yang Lingchen's change in expression, Feng Xueqing asked, "scoundrel, you weren't scared, were you?"

"How could I be? No one in this world can scare me," Yang Lingchen chuckled awkwardly, trying hard to maintain his composure.

"Oh, right, I remember the number one beauty of Heavenly Origin Palace was also named Ling Yanyun, and it seems your relationship was quite good," Feng Xueqing said.

"Cough, cough, that's not true," Yang Lingchen said sheepishly.

Ten days passed in a flash.

After ten days of flying, the mysterious boat entered a vast and boundless mountain range, and the Phoenix Clan was located within this picturesque and beautiful mountain range.

The mysterious boat stopped in front of a magnificent Mountain Gate, and Yang Lingchen followed Feng Xueqing out of the mysterious boat.

Looking at the lush, vibrant forests, the towering, majestic, and perilous giant Peaks, and the ethereal, dreamlike clouds and mist, Yang Lingchen felt as if he had arrived in a fairyland.

The Mountain Gate of the Phoenix Clan was enormous, magnificent, and imposing, with two lifelike and vivid Phoenixes carved on each side of the gate.

"Young Miss, you're back!"

Seeing Feng Xueqing emerge from the mysterious boat, the guards at the Mountain Gate quickly bowed respectfully.

What secretly shocked Yang Lingchen was that the two gate-keeping guards of the Phoenix Clan had cultivation levels that had reached the Divine Void Realm, which showed the power of the Phoenix Clan.

Yang Lingchen followed Feng Xueqing to her residence... the Phoenix Clan, Clan Chief's Courtyard.

A tall, valiant, and extraordinary middle-aged man, exuding a powerful Aura of a superior, was leisurely drinking tea.

Opposite the middle-aged man sat a handsome, elegant young man of about twenty.

This middle-aged man was Feng Juntao, the Clan Chief of the Phoenix Clan, and the exceptionally handsome young man was Chen Zixuan, who had previously gone to the Tianwu Continent.

"Uncle Feng, since Sister Xueqing is not here, this nephew will take his leave first."

Chen Zixuan took a sip of tea and said respectfully, his tone full of humility.

"Zixuan! It's rare for you to visit, why not stay a few more days? Xueqing should be back soon."

Feng Juntao said, a gentle smile on his face.

Just then, a house servant hurried in and respectfully said, "Clan Chief, Young Miss has returned."

"Haha..., Zixuan, look, isn't Xueqing back?" Feng Juntao laughed heartily, his face full of joy.

"Uncle Feng, then this nephew will go see Xueqing first." Chen Zixuan said, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.

"Go ahead!" Feng Juntao thought very highly of Chen Zixuan.

Because Chen Zixuan was not only the Young Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect, but his personal talent was also top-notch. At only twenty years old, his cultivation level had already reached the Peak of the Divine Martial Realm, and achieving the Great Emperor realm in the future was almost a certainty.
