Volume 2 Chapter 16 / Chapter 103: Old Lolita, Old Friend
For some inexplicable reason, a trace of sympathy arose in her heart. She asked Xiaotian with her eyes, wanting to know if there was any way to cure the girl's blindness.
Given her questioning gaze, Xiaotian naturally rolled its eyes at her. However, since Feng Yudie was its master, and knowing a bit more wasn't a bad thing, it took out the Heavenly Dao Scriptures and started flipping through it.
『Hmm…』
Feng Yudie raised an eyebrow slightly: What's the verdict?
『Not so good. It can be cured, but you can't do it now. She was blind from birth. Her mother was a Foundation Establishment cultivator. When she gave birth, her meridians shattered. Li Feng originally wanted to save both, but at her mother's insistence, he ended up doing his best to save her life』
"..."
Xiaotian scanned left and right with its eyes, feeling somewhat helpless, and sighed a breath:
『Ah, this Li Feng seems quite tragic. Originally, he was a cultivator with a four spiritual roots, and it was with the help of Moon Dan Master that he was able to barely building his Core. However, after forming his Core, his cultivation never advanced any further. He has been stuck at the early Core Formation stage for nearly a thousand years, and now, considering his age, his lifespan is almost at its end』
"..."
『Li Feng's Dao companion is also a cultivator with Four Spiritual Roots. Although it's not explicitly written in the book, I feel that might be the reason he formed a Dao companion with that Foundation Establishment female cultivator…』
Feng Yudie took a sip of tea and nodded.
At this moment, Li Feng looked at the sky and realized it was almost sunset. He said:
"Junior Sister Xiao, are you here to participate in the Chi Dragon Conference? There is still some time before the opening ceremony. You can stay in the Chi Dragon Mansion these days, just treat it like being in the Profound Star Sect. If you have anything, just tell the servants in the mansion."
"Thank you, Senior Brother."
Xiao Yunluo bowed and then made a sword gesture with her hand. She took out a cherry wood box from her storage bag, about the length of her arm. Holding it with both hands, she presented it to Li Feng.
"Senior Brother Li, this is a birthday gift prepared for you by my mother. Before Junior Sister left the Profound Star Sect, she was told that this item should be privately given to Senior Brother. Another birthday gift will be prepared during the birthday banquet."
"Privately for me?" Li Feng was a bit puzzled, but since it was a gift from Sima Xuanji, he accepted it with both hands. He looked at the wooden box and asked, "What's inside?"
"I don't know. My mother placed a restriction on the box."
"I see..." Li Feng nodded half-knowingly and sighed, "It has been more than three hundred years since I last saw her. When Junior Sister Xiao returns, please convey my thanks to your mother."
"I will."
After they left, Li Feng took a deep breath. Then he picked up the wooden box given by Xiao Yunluo, made a sword gesture with his hand, and gently flicked it.
A spiritual wind swept by, and the box floated up. The lid slid open on its own.
Inside the box was an old and worn sword hilt, covered with scars, and even remnants of fresh bloodstains.
Li Feng squinted slightly, raised his hand to let the sword hilt fly into his hand, and bit his teeth slightly.
This sword was the flying sword he used when he fought against demonic cultivators with Sima Xuanji. However, it broke during a confrontation with an elder from the Demon Sect. At that time, Sima Xuanji arrived in time to save his life.
Li Feng originally thought that the sword was lost, but he didn't expect Sima Xuanji to have kept it all this time.
And if Sima Xuanji sent this broken sword hilt at this moment...
The meaning behind it probably surpassed a thousand words.
Sima Xuanji might have calculated that his lifespan is coming to an end, and this broken sword, as the last gift, is equivalent to saying, "Li Feng, this old woman has never forgotten you, her good friend."
However, thinking about what he had to do next, he also felt that Sima Xuanji was reminding him, "Don't do anything foolish."
Li Feng didn't know which meaning Sima Xuanji had.
He also didn't know whether Sima Xuanji knew that he had made a deal with the demonic cultivators.
But undoubtedly, when he saw this hilt, he wavered.
At this moment, the experiences of fighting alongside Sima Xuanji against demonic cultivators over the years seemed to be dug out of the long river of his life by this sword, and hundreds of years of time flashed before his eyes.
"Old friend huh?... Hehehe..."
Li Feng sighed with a bitter smile, pinched his nose, and sighed deeply:
At this moment, a gentle breeze brushed through Li Feng's pale hair. In the blink of an eye, Li Feng snapped out of his reminiscence, angrily turning his head to look outside the stone pavilion, his eyes bursting with intense killing intent.
The newcomer was a charming man in purple attire. He stood five feet away from the pavilion, quickly bowing and politely greeting, "Senior Li."
Li Feng's eyebrows trembled slightly as he asked, "What's the matter?"
"Senior, I just wanted to remind you that staying alive is more important than anything else. If you were to fall, the entire Chi Dragon Mansion would rest on the shoulders of Miss Qianjin. Even if you don't care for yourself, think more about Miss Qianjin. Li Qianjin is only sixteen years old, and her cultivation is only at the Foundation Establishment stage. Can she really shoulder the entire Chi Dragon Mansion?"
"..."
"The immortal sect asks you to guard the extremely hot spiritual veins here, but they turn a blind eye to your life and death. Presumably, after your death, Li Qianjin will be in dire straits. Blind and without you, how can she survive in the Zhou Star Region?"
Li Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, asking, "Is that all?"
"Senior, there's one more thing. The girl who just met you is the young lady of the Profound Star Sect, right? If Senior can't make a move against her due to old feelings, I am willing to take care of it..."
"Outrageous!"
Li Feng's brows furrowed, and his Core Formation's aura burst out like a violent storm, making all the spirit plants in the garden rustle.
Swish—
A stream of spiritual energy swept by, leaving a bloodstain on the left side of the charming man's face.
But in the next moment, Li Feng suddenly coughed.
"Cough, cough..."
The charming man breathed a sigh of relief, bowed again, and continued, "Senior Li, in half a month, you will become an elder of the Heavenly Demon Sect. Aren't you ready to sever your ties with the righteous immortal sect? If Senior can't do it due to old feelings, I'm more than willing to help—"
Li Feng spat out a mouthful of blood, gritted his teeth, and said, "Even then, it's just half a month away. I am still the mountain lord of the Chi Dragon Mountain now! Don't think you can cause trouble in the Chi Dragon Mansion!!"
"Sigh- Yes, Senior Li, take care. It would be a shame if you can't even last half a month." The charming man dropped these words and then transformed into a purple shadow, disappearing from the pavilion.
After he left, Li Feng closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Then, he looked down at the sword hilt in his hand.
After a moment of contemplation, Li Feng bit his teeth slightly. He exerted force with his right hand, and the sword hilt, illuminated by his spiritual energy, fell to the ground and dissipated.
