Chapter 7: A New Beginning in Haicheng

The morning sun cast a warm glow over Lingxi City as Xiao Feng prepared for his visit to the Zhang family. Zhang Rui had invited him to meet her grandfather, Zhang Wei, to express their gratitude for saving him. Xiao Feng was intrigued by this gesture and curious about what awaited him.Upon arriving at the Zhang family estate, Xiao Feng was greeted with the same warmth and respect he had come to expect. Zhang Rui led him through the opulent halls to Zhang Wei's study. The elderly man, though frail, had a commanding presence that spoke of his long-standing influence."Xiao Feng, it's an honor to finally meet you in person," Zhang Wei said, his voice full of gratitude. "Rui has told me about your bravery and how you saved me from peril. The Zhang family is deeply grateful."Xiao Feng bowed slightly, his expression modest. "It was nothing. I'm just glad I could help."Zhang Wei smiled and gestured to a nearby servant, who brought forth a beautifully crafted scroll. Unrolling it, Zhang Wei revealed an exquisite painting of a grand villa, its intricate details showcasing a blend of traditional elegance and modern luxury."This," Zhang Wei announced with pride, "is a villa in Haicheng City. It is yours, Xiao Feng, as a token of our appreciation. The spiritual energy there is renowned, and I believe it will greatly benefit your cultivation."Xiao Feng's eyes widened in surprise and gratitude. "This is too much. I didn't expect such generosity."Zhang Wei waved a hand dismissively. "You have earned it. The Zhang family will always be here to support you. Should you ever need anything, do not hesitate to call upon us."After expressing his thanks, Xiao Feng left the Zhang estate with Zhang Rui. They made their way to Haicheng, the city that would now become his new home.Upon reaching Haicheng, Xiao Feng was struck by the city's grandeur.
