Lin Feng traveled far away with the boat before changing his face again. He also recalled his silver wings spirit.
That way, the one who had saved Qiu Yue Xin, kidnapped Yang Zi Ye and stole Yang Zi Lan's boat had disappeared, and the only ones to blame would be the Chou Clan.
Lin Feng then went back to the hotel. He wanted to see Qiu Yue Xin, had she gone back to the hotel?
Lin Feng released his awareness and inspected the surroundings. Someone was in Qiu Yue Xin's room, she had probably come back.
Lin Feng smiled and put the mask he was wearing back on. Then, he opened her room and saw Qiu Yue Xin. She was sitting on her bed and looked furious when she saw someone open her door.
"What?" When she saw it was the one who had helped her a moment before, she stopped releasing her energies and said, "Thank you for helping me, but this is my room and coming in like that is impolite."
"I like you, I want you and me to be very close." said Lin Feng with an indifferent smile. Qiu Yue Xin looked at him coldly and released her energies once more.
"Be respectful!" shouted Qiu Yue Xin furiously. That person actually disrespected her.
Lin Feng laughed and continued walking towards her.
"If you make one more step, I'll kill you." said Qiu Yue Xin. However, Lin Feng laughed and continued walking towards her.
"You're a pervert!" said Qiu Yue Xin standing up. She then punched the air in Lin Feng's direction. Lin Feng released strength and punched as well.
"Boom boom!" a crackling sound spread in the air.
"Seal!" shouted Lin Feng.
"Sealing strength!" Qiu Yue Xin stopped briefly. She had seen that attack before.
The sealing strength surrounded her and she could barely move.
Lin Feng got close and put his arms around Qiu Yue Xin. She fixedly stared at him.
"I've liked you for so long and you've already forgotten me." said Lin Feng with a wry smile on his face. Qiu Yue Xin couldn't believe it. Was it Lin Feng?
Lin Feng wasn't… dead?
Lin Feng took off his mask and smiled, "Don't you recognize me?"
Qiu Yue Xin was dumbstruck. Her eyes were red, she still had a cold Qi around her.
"You bastard!"
Her ice-cold energies surrounded Lin Feng.
"Eh…" Lin Feng was speechless. No need to be that aggressive, he thought.
"Since you think I'm a bastard, I'm leaving." said Lin Feng smiling evilly. Qiu Yue Xin was wondering what he was thinking.
Lin Feng slowly lowered his head, that bastard. She wanted to shout, but Lin Feng kissed her. She just stared at him, she was astonished.
"Slash!" a sound spread in the air. Qiu Yue Xin reacted, but Lin Feng was prepared and moved away, "You're shameless!"
Lin Feng left the room and she chased him. However, she wasn't angry, deep in her eyes, one could see that she was relieved. He was alive. She had to teach him a lesson for not telling her that he was alive sooner.
...
Later that night, it all felt like a dream. Many people had practiced cultivation just for this moment. They had been waiting for that day for so long.
It was on this day that Emperor Shi and Emperor Yu's recruitment process was going to start.
Many strong cultivators had gathered, both Zun cultivators and Tian level cultivators.
For many people, especially the Tian level cultivators, becoming an imperial cultivation disciple was a dream, a social status, a symbol proving that their future was going to be bright. People would respect them. That was also an opportunity to become stronger faster.
For Zun cultivators, it was difficult to become stronger. Each cultivation layer was harder than the last to break through. One cultivation layer, at the level of Zun cultivators, was like nines layer at the Tian Qi layer. It was even more difficult for high-level Zun cultivators. So emperors help along this path.
Becoming an imperial cultivation disciple was very difficult and the opportunities were very rare. Sometimes, people had to wait a hundred years before seeing such opportunities. Therefore, they couldn't let it slip.
Lin Feng walked alongside Qiu Yue Xin down the flight of stairs but remained speechless.
"So many people, how would they choose imperial cultivation disciples amongst so many people!" said Lin Feng smiling wryly. There were so many people that it was impossible to count them all. It was impossible to even determine the area covered by all those people. There were many geniuses but who would be able to overcome the challenge of the last 81 steps? A few would surely succeed. Two groups of nine stairs couldn't be impossible for some of them.
People couldn't wait to see the millions of geniuses climb those stairs.
"That will be spectacular to see all those people climb the stairs!" whispered Qiu Yue Xin smiling at Lin Feng.
"I know, right? It will be incredible." Lin Feng nodded.
Everybody looked solemn and respectful. They all looked incredibly motivated and determined. Becoming an imperial cultivation disciple, having an emperor as a teacher, if they managed to climb those stairs, they would have an incredible future.
"Emperors control Ba Huang Province. Only people as strong as them can give such heroic feelings to people." Qiu Yue Xin though. Even though she was from a rich and powerful family, she clearly understood that emperors belonged to different and incomparable worlds. Those emperors, if upset, could destroy a entire clan like the Qiu Clan or any other. Everybody wanted to become like them.
"One day, I will become an emperor. And when I order my disciples to destroy the Yang Clan, they will do it without hesitation. Nobody will dare offend me anymore!" said Lin Feng looking determined. One day, he would become an emperor.
"If you become an emperor, what will I be?" said Qiu Yue Xin smiling.
"When I become an emperor, you'll be an empress!" said Lin Feng with a resplendent smile. Qiu Yue Xin wondered what it meant to be an empress.
