Back to the Peak

"What on earth is it that makes it so mysterious that my father won't even let me go?" Looking at Xue Hongze and Ling Feng who were going further and further away, Xue Xiaoxiao pouted her mouth with a look of displeasure. Joy. 26nbsp;

Ling Feng followed Xue Hongze, and the two turned left and right in the imperial garden, and walked for about a cup of tea. Just when Ling Feng couldn't hold back, Xue Hongze paused, pointed at In front of him, he opened his mouth and said, "Here we are, that's where it is."

Ling Feng looked in the direction of Xue Hongze's finger, and saw a huge artificial lake in front of him, and a very simple wooden house was built on the edge of the lake, surrounded by colorful and various plants. Flowers, a few butterflies dancing in the flowers, the whole environment is extremely elegant and clear.

"I didn't expect there to be such an elegant and beautiful place in the palace." Looking at the red flowers and green water in front of him, Ling Feng couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Come with me." Xue Hongze waved to Ling Feng, and led him straight to the wooden house by the lake.

Ling Feng followed behind Xue Hongze, secretly said: "It seems that the person he mentioned should be the owner of this wooden house. Being able to live in the imperial garden of the royal family, it seems that this person's identity is very unusual."

The closer he got to the wooden house, Xue Hongze, who was originally extremely majestic in front of people, had a strong look on his face, and the awe-inspiring aura of a king no longer existed on his body.

Seeing the change in Xue Hongze's aura, Ling Feng couldn't help but become more puzzled, and even more curious about the mysterious man.

Bypassing the flowers, Xue Hongze and Ling Feng came to the edge of the lake full of autumn waves, and at a glance, they saw a thin figure sitting there quietly holding a fishing rod on the edge of the lake not far ahead. It looks like a stone sculpture at every turn, and beside him is a fish barrel for holding fish. If it wasn't for the breeze blowing his clothes and gray hair, Ling Feng would have mistakenly thought it was a stone sculpture.

"That's him?" Ling Feng glanced at the old man in front of him, and asked Xue Hongze in a low voice.

Xue Hongze nodded, put his finger to his mouth and made a silent gesture to Ling Feng. Ling Feng understood that Xue Hongze must be afraid that their voices would disturb the old man fishing, so he stopped talking immediately. The two of them stood there far away, quietly waiting for the old man to finish fishing.

Being able to make Huang Xuehongze hang his head and wait, Ling Feng can now be sure that the old man definitely has a very high status in the royal family.

Time passed by, and the old man fishing didn't seem to notice anyone approaching at all, and remained motionless, quietly waiting for the fish to take the bait.

After a while, suddenly, the fish float floating on the lake sank down suddenly. It was obvious that some fish had bit the bait and had already taken the bait. At this time, the old man who had been motionless lifted his arm upwards, and quickly put away the fishing rod, his movements were no less than that of a strong young man.

"puff!"

The sound of objects breaking through the water sounded, and a red carp about one foot long was fished out of the lake by the old man.

"Haha!" The old man who had gained a lot laughed happily, and put the carp into the bucket beside him. Then, carrying the fish bucket, he turned and walked towards Ling Feng and Xue Hongze.

Ling Feng saw at a glance that the old man was about 70 years old, with gray hair, wrinkled face, and a kind face, which made people want to get closer. What surprised Ling Feng the most was that he originally thought that the old man whom Xue Hongze was in awe of must be an extremely powerful member of the royal family, but Ling Feng found that the old man had no aura of a warrior, and could not sense him at all. There are spiritual fluctuations!

While Ling Feng was puzzled, the old man came slowly, glanced at Xue Hongze, and said with a smile: "Xiao Ze, didn't you just come here yesterday? Why did you come to see my old man again today? What's the matter?" ?”

"Xiao Ze!" Hearing that the old man actually called Xue Hongze, the emperor who is more than ten thousand people, "Xiao Ze", Ling Feng's eyelids twitched, and he said in surprise: "Who is this old man? He has a kind face, but even Xue Hongze has to add the word 'small' in front of him!"

While Ling Feng was shocked, Xue Hongze bowed to the old man and said respectfully: "Didn't you say that you were interested in that young man surnamed Ling yesterday? Today I specially tested his strength according to your request." , that’s why I dare to bring him here.” He pointed to Ling Feng beside him.

"Oh?" Hearing Xue Hongze's words, the old man turned his gentle eyes on Ling Feng, looked him up and down, and smiled, "Young man, are you the Ling Feng that Xiaoze said?"

Swept by the old man's gentle gaze, Ling Feng suddenly felt an extremely relaxed and comfortable feeling all over his body. Although it was only the first time he saw the old man, he was not at all wary of him.

"Senior, the junior is not talented, it is Ling Feng." Ling Feng replied respectfully.

"You can reach the peak of Xiao Xiantian at the age of eighteen, and you will have a bright future in the future!" The old man smiled at Ling Feng and introduced himself, "My name is Xue Tianhong, the old man, and I am Xiao Ze's uncle. You can call me 'Xue Lao'."

Hearing that the old man revealed his identity to Ling Feng, Xue Hongze couldn't help being surprised. He knew that his uncle never liked to reveal his name and identity to others, even his three sons and daughters didn't know his identity. However, when meeting Ling Feng for the first time today, Xue Tianhong actually told him his name and identity, which had to surprise Xue Hongze.

But Ling Feng didn't know that Xue Tianhong seldom revealed his identity to others, let alone what that meant, so he just nodded slightly and respectfully said, "Old Xue."

Xue Tianhong smiled slightly, and looked at Ling Feng approvingly, as if looking at a piece of jade in the rough: "In the future, if you need anything, just tell us, our royal family will definitely spare no effort to support your cultivation."

Everyone has witnessed Ling Feng's growth. The Eastern Jin imperial family will definitely try their best to cultivate a genius like him who is rare in a millennium.

"Thank you, Old Xue." Ling Feng clasped his fists in thanks. He knew that Xue Tianhong was trying to win him over for the long-term interests of the Eastern Jin royal family. With his talent, if nothing happens, he will definitely be able to grow into a strong one in the future. Now that they are cultivating themselves, they will naturally take care of the Eastern Jin royal family.

Xue Tianhong looked at Xue Hongze with old eyes: "Xiao Ze, I heard that your eldest son and second son have been targeting Ling Feng and his family. Go back and supervise them for me. If they still dare to attack the Ling family If it is unfavorable, don’t stay in the royal family in the future, and demote them to the common people!”

Hearing this, Xue Hongze nodded in agreement without the slightest hesitation.

Ling Feng felt relieved, feeling relieved.

Although he wasn't afraid of the first prince and the second prince, they were extremely powerful after all. If they were unfavorable to his clansmen, Ling Feng was really afraid of any accidents. Now, with the words of Xue Tianhong, whom even the emperor Xue Hongze respected, Ling Feng believed that no matter how daring the eldest prince and second prince were, they would not dare to harm the Ling family anymore.

"Okay, old people tend to get sleepy. Let's chat sometime, friend Ling Feng." Xue Tianhong yawned, and waved to Xue Hongze, "Xiao Ze, help me go back to the cabin to rest. "

Xue Hongze hurried to Xue Tianhong's side and held his arm.

Seeing that the other party issued the order to chase away the guest, Ling Feng no longer hesitated, cupped his hands, bid farewell to the two of them, and walked back along the way he came, thinking about it while walking.

In front of Xue Tianhong, Human Emperor Xue Hongze didn't even dare to breathe out. Why on earth would he make Xue Hongze respect him so much? And why should he meet himself in person? Even if you win over yourself, there is no need to do it yourself?

Is it just to see yourself?

While Ling Feng was thinking about it, "Chi" stern warning came out of his mind: "Do you know that your kid almost lost his life just now!"

"What!" Ling Feng raised his eyebrows and said in surprise, "Why did you say that?"

"The old man is a master of the spirit-gathering realm. He used his soul power to explore the mysteries of your body over and over again. If I hadn't used my soul power to wrap the Shattering Seal in your body and cut off his exploration, he would have discovered that you have The secret of the Fantian Seal, when the time comes, even if you sacrifice the Fantian Seal, you will surely die!" "Chi" said in a deep voice.

"What! That Xue Tianhong is actually a strong man in the spirit-gathering realm?" Ling Feng was taken aback, his face full of disbelief, "but why can't I detect a single wave of spiritual power from him?"
