Chapter 3432 - Unable To Escape The Calamity
"What's wrong? What's with that expression?" Gong Qing stared at Chu Feng with her beautiful eyes.
"Nothing. My expression is very natural," Chu Feng hurriedly adjusted himself and revealed a perfect smile of pretense.
Gong Qing looked at Chu Feng like she was looking at a fool and rolled her eyes. She said, "What about you? What's your name?"
"Young lady, regarding that… is it fine if I don't mention it?" Chu Feng asked.
"What? Is your name so unpleasant to hear that you don't wish to mention it to others?"
"Names are all given by one's parents, how could you fear someone laughing at your name?" Gong Qing looked at Chu Feng with contempt.
The reason why Chu Feng did not wish to give his name was naturally because of Gong Qing's older sister, Gong Mingyue.
Chu Feng did not wish to reveal himself because he did not wish to have any connection with that Gong Mingyue.
However, after hearing what Gong Qing said, Chu Feng felt her words to be very reasonable.
The name Chu Feng was given to him by his parents. Although he didn't know if it was his father or his mother that gave him the name, it was not at all a shameful name.
On the contrary, Chu Feng was very proud of his name.
As the saying went, one should be proud of one's name and stand by one's actions. That was precisely what it meant.
No matter how many reasons there might be, one should not conceal one's name.
This was even more so since it was merely a ridiculous wedding arrangement. Chu Feng merely did not wish to associate himself with it. It wasn't like he was afraid of anything.
Not to mention an arranged marriage made in a joking manner, even if it were made seriously, no one would be able to stop Chu Feng should he wish to cancel the arrangement.
Thinking of that, Chu Feng gained confidence. He straightened his chest and raised his head. Without hesitation, he said, "Chu Feng."
"Chu Feng?" Sure enough, upon hearing the name Chu Feng, Gong Qing's expression grew stiff. She began to ponder it. It was only after a long while that she said with a soft voice, "Why does that name sound so familiar?"
However, Gong Qing evidently only felt Chu Feng's name to be familiar-sounding, and did not possess a deep impression of it. Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to not be able to recall who Chu Feng was.
As for Chu Feng, he merely smiled. He was not so bored as to call Gong Qing's attention to who he was. He wouldn't tell Gong Qing that he was her future brother-in-law.
Although the spirit formations Chu Feng had taught Gong Qing were very complicated, they were actually quite simple to set up should one learn the secret to them.
Chu Feng had also left the secret to his spirit formations in their outlines. Thus, Gong Qing did not have to be fully concentrated when setting them up.
As Chu Feng and Gong Qing chatted, Chu Feng learned about the hedgehog.
Gong Qing had no idea what sort of species the hedgehog was. It was something that she had encountered by chance at a mountain that had existed since the Ancient Era.
When Gong Qing encountered the hedgehog, she was only a small child. Thus, it could be said that the hedgehog had grown up together with her, and as such, it was very important to her.
Following the treatment method indicated by Chu Feng's spirit formation, the seriously-ill hedgehog soon began to recover.
Seeing that, Gong Qing began to wholeheartedly focus on healing the hedgehog.
In the end, the semi-unconscious hedgehog regained full consciousness.
"Chu Feng, you are truly amazing. My Lil' Thorn actually really managed to…"
Gong Qing was overjoyed. She turned around and wanted to express her thanks to Chu Feng.
However, upon turning around, she discovered that Chu Feng had disappeared.
"This guy… why would he leave already?"
After verifying that Chu Feng had left, Gong Qing revealed an expression of regret.
…...
As for Chu Feng, he had verified that the hedgehog would be able to attain a full recovery when its situation changed for the better. As such, he decided to leave without saying good-bye.
The reason why Chu Feng was so urgent to leave was because he had something that he must do. He must return to the Ice Summit. He planned to explain what had happened that day to Grandmaster Long Xuan and Grandmaster Liangqiu.
Furthermore, Chu Feng felt that, in addition to his spirit power that was already sealed, his cultivation was also starting to be sealed.
The power of the backlash was even more frightening than he had anticipated. In that sort of situation, his cultivation would, sooner or later, be completely sealed. At that time, he would become someone without cultivation.
Chu Feng didn't know why this was happening. As such, he wanted to ask Grandmaster Liangqiu and the others.
Chu Feng was flying in the sky. However, he only flew for a short while before his attention was caught by a scene below.
There was a group of people surrounding a single person. As for the person that was surrounded… it was someone from the Chu Heavenly Clan.
As for the people that had surrounded that Chu Heavenly Clansman, they were from another Heavenly Clan, the Xu Heavenly Clan.
It was the same Heavenly Clan that had clashed with Chu Feng on the way to the Ice Summit that day.
The Chu Heavenly Clansman that was being surrounded had the appearance of a middle-aged man. However, he should be more than a thousand years old.
Unfortunately, his cultivation was very unimpressive. At his age, his cultivation was only that of a rank one Heavenly Immortal. As for those Xu Heavenly Clansmen that had surrounded him, any one of them had a cultivation surpassing his.
Apart from the Xu Heavenly Clansmen and that Chu Heavenly Clansman, there were also a lot of people gathered in the surroundings.
Those people were from all different powers. At that moment, they were watching everything like they were watching a show that was about to unfold.
If the ones below were from other Heavenly Clans, Chu Feng would not bother to pay attention at all. However, since it was a Chu Heavenly Clansman, Chu Feng would not watch and remain indifferent.
Thus, Chu Feng stopped in midair and looked downward. He wanted to see exactly what was going on.
"Everyone, we possess neither grievances or hatred, why would you all suddenly attack me?"
At that moment, that middle-aged Chu Heavenly Clansman had received some light injuries. Fortunately, those injuries were not serious. However, faced with the situation he was in, he had a flustered expression on his face. It could be seen that he was very afraid.
Seeing the middle-aged man acting like that, the Xu Heavenly Clansmen all revealed ridiculing smiles.
"It's all because you're someone from the Chu Heavenly Clan. You're destined to meet a calamity by running into us."
Hearing those words, the middle-aged man was very surprised. The bystanders were also surprised.
They had never heard of there being any sort of conflict between the Chu Heavenly Clan and the Xu Heavenly Clan. However, judging from the current situation, it seemed that some sort of conflict had indeed occurred between the two clans.
Since they were hostile powers, it would mean that… the middle-aged man was destined to be unable to escape a calamity.
Chapter 3433 - Chu Feng's Smile
"I don't think our Chu Heavenly Clan has ever had a conflict with your Xu Heavenly Clan, no?" That middle-aged Chu Heavenly Clansman asked.
"Indeed, there were no conflicts between our clans in the past. However, now, there are. It happened thirteen days ago on the Ice Summit. A brat from your Chu Heavenly Clan offended our clan's young master."
"Although that brat ended up being arrested and imprisoned in the Fire Prison like he deserved, it remains that someone from your Chu Heavenly Clan actually dared to offend our young master. As such, your Chu Heavenly Clan shall pay the price," A Xu Heavenly Clansman said.
Hearing those words, the crowd came to a realization of what had happened.
However, merely because of some minor conflict, the Xu Heavenly Clan planned to attack other Chu Heavenly Clansmen. This behavior of theirs was simply too tyrannical.
That said, the people from the Nine Dragons Upper Realm knew what sort of people the Xu Heavenly Clan were.
In terms of their own strength, the Xu Heavenly Clan might not be much stronger than the Chu Heavenly Clan. However, in terms of their reputation, they were far inferior to the Chu Heavenly Clan.
After all, both Chu Hanxian and Chu Xuanyuan, two heaven-defying existences, were people that had appeared from the Chu Heavenly Clan.
Even though the Chu Heavenly Clan was still rather weak, very few people had never heard of the Chu Heavenly Clan in the Ancestral Martial Starfield.
That said, there was naturally a reason why the Xu Heavenly Clan dared to act so arrogantly. As for the reason why, it was because of the backing that they possessed, the Tantai Heavenly Clan.
At that moment, the person feeling the greatest despair would be none other than that middle-aged man from the Chu Heavenly Clan.
As matters stood, he already knew that he would not be able to escape a calamity.
"For every grievance someone is responsible, for every debt there is a debtor, if there's something that you all wish to do, aim it at me," Right at that moment, a figure suddenly flew down and landed before the Chu Heavenly Clansman.
The sudden emergence of a person startled everyone. That said, in terms of feeling the most shocked, it would be none other than that man from the Chu Heavenly Clan.
"Chu Feng, why are you here?" That man actually recognized Chu Feng.
"Senior, you recognize me?" Chu Feng also felt very surprised.
"You're Chu Xuanyuan's son, how could I not recognize you?" The man said.
"What? Chu Xuanyuan's son? That Chu Xuanyuan?!"
"That guy's name is Chu Feng. Could it be… he's really Chu Xuanyuan's son?"
"But, didn't Chu Xuanyuan's son die long ago?"
The words spoken by that Chu Heavenly Clansman brought forth a great commotion amongst the crowd. At that moment, they all began to carefully size up Chu Feng, including those Xu Heavenly Clansmen.
Sensing the ill-intended gazes that the Xu Heavenly Clansmen were looking at Chu Feng with, that Chu Heavenly Clansman immediately pulled Chu Feng behind him, and opened his arms to shield him, "This matter is unrelated to him. If I have offended you all, then come at me. Do not harm him."
Earlier, the man was extremely nervous and somewhat cowardly when he spoke. However, his voice had grown loud and clear.
Faced with such a reaction from that man, Chu Feng was startled. A wave emerged in his heart.
Chu Feng did not know that Chu Heavenly Clansman. However, he was actually able to stand before Chu Feng during a time of crisis. This greatly surprised and moved him.
Thinking back, since he had returned to the Chu Heavenly Clan, apart from the Chu Heavenly Clan's Clan Chief, Chu Xuanzhengfa, Chu Lingxi and a few others, the great majority of the Chu Heavenly Clansmen had not shown any concern or care for him. Instead, they had wanted to harm him.
As such, Chu Feng had already grown accustomed to the coldness and ruthlessness from his fellow clansmen. He had even grown accustomed to their deception and persecution of him.
As such, Chu Feng would naturally be emotionally moved to suddenly encounter a fellow clansman that was willing to protect him. This was even more so considering that that Chu Heavenly Clansman was someone that he did not know at all.
However, at that moment, the Xu Heavenly Clansmen were no longer interested in that Chu Heavenly Clansman. Instead, their eyes were fixed onto Chu Feng.
"What do you mean when you said 'for every grievance someone is responsible, for every debt there is a debtor' earlier?" A Xu Heavenly Clansman asked.
Seeing that, Chu Feng smiled. Then, he walked before that Chu Heavenly Clansman.
Originally, that Chu Heavenly Clansman had wanted to stop Chu Feng. However, in the end, he did not stop him.
After Chu Feng arrived before that Chu Heavenly Clansman, he looked to the Xu Heavenly Clansmen and said, "The Chu Heavenly Clansman that offended your clan's young master on the Ice Summit is none other than I."
"It's you?"
"Impossible! Weren't you captured and imprisoned? How could you get out so quickly?"
"Besides, that's the Fire Prison of all things. Even if you managed to escape, you couldn't possibly be completely unscathed," The Xu Heavenly Clansmen voiced their doubt.
"There are a lot of things in this world that are beyond your imagination. You all merely need to know that the person who offended your clan's young master was me. If you possess any grievance or hatred, aim it at me," Chu Feng said.
"You have guts. However, I have one question that I wish to ask you."
"That person behind you addressed you as Chu Feng. Furthermore, he said you're Chu Xuanyuan's son. That Chu Xuanyuan he spoke of… is it that Chu Xuanyuan?" A Xu Heavenly Clansman asked.
After that Xu Heavenly Clansman asked that question, the noisy crowd immediately grew incomparably quiet.
They all shut their mouths. It had grown so quiet that, apart from the sound of the wind, only the sound of breathing could be heard.
Everyone's eyes were fixed onto Chu Feng, waiting for his answer.
"It is as you've thought, I am the rumored Chu Feng who has been expelled from the Chu Heavenly Clan many years ago, and then said to have died in the Lower Realms."
"As for my father, he is none other than the Chu Xuanyuan that you all know of," Chu Feng responded.
"It's really Chu Feng? He actually didn't die?"
"I'd actually already heard rumors that Chu Feng was still alive, and had returned to the Chu Heavenly Clan. I had originally thought it to be only rumors. Never would I have imagined that they're actually real."
The crowd burst into a complete uproar. It was not only the bystanders that became excited; even the Xu Heavenly Clansmen became very excited.
Chu Xuanyuan's son. This title was no small matter at all.
Even if he were a cripple; a trash, if they could teach him a lesson, it would become something that they would be able to brag about to others.
Thus, after the Xu Heavenly Clansmen verified Chu Feng's identity, their faces became very grotesque.
"Chu Xuanyuan's son. Never would I have imagined that you're actually really still alive. Furthermore, you actually came here of all places. Could it be that you're planning to participate in the selection for the Ancestral Martial Decastars?"
"Regardless of what has brought you to the Nine Dragons Upper Realm, that's actually unrelated to us."
"However, of all the things that you should not do, you decided to offend our clan's young master."
"However, taking into consideration that you possess some courage, we will give you a chance today."
"Kneel before us and apologize."
"Then, follow me to our clan's young master to present to him ten resounding kowtows as an apology for your mistake. Do that, and we will consider sparing the two of you."
Sure enough, the Xu Heavenly Clansmen immediately put forth an extremely excessive demand from the get-go.
For the sake of making Chu Feng submit, they even unleashed their oppressive might to try to scare him.
However, right after those words were said, the Xu Heavenly Clansmen's facial expressions became very ugly.
They discovered that after they spoke those words, Chu Feng did not show any sign of fear, and was instead smiling.
Faced with their threats, Chu Feng actually… smiled?
