# Chapter 1255: Peace
Liu Fei's face carried a faint smile as she watched the shocked expressions of the crowd, seeming to feel quite satisfied. She herself had been stunned for a long time before calming down. Lin Feng had actually already reached the point where he could trample upon those legendary venerable ones.
After the shock passed, Lin Hai and the others all looked at Lin Feng with strange expressions. This kid, he was actually this powerful now?
Duan Xinye gently leaned against Lin Feng's arm. Since Lin Feng's strength was now formidable, she was naturally happy from the bottom of her heart.
"Xiao Feng, after entering the City of Fate, what happened?" Lin Hai's gaze carried a hint of curiosity as he looked at Lin Feng and spoke.
"It's a long story. In short, the City of Fate was filled with wonders, and I underwent a transformation there. As for what happened afterward, I won't go into detail one by one, or else who knows how long it would take to finish." Lin Feng smiled and didn't intend to continue. His gaze suddenly turned serious as he asked Lin Hai, "Father, I heard that someone wants to force us to move out of the Imperial Palace, is that right?"
Ever since stepping into the Imperial Palace, Lin Feng had wanted to ask this question, but he didn't want the joy of their reunion to be diluted by this topic. That was why he had revealed some of his strength to his family, to put them at ease and let them confidently tell him the whole story.
Lin Hai hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly. "Lin Feng, many forces have suddenly appeared in Yangzhou City, and their strength is terrifyingly great. There are quite a few venerable ones stationed among them. Among them, three powerful forces want to move into our Imperial Palace. They gave us three days to get out of the palace, or else, for every person who leaves, they'll kill one."
"For every one who leaves, kill one!" Lin Feng's eyes congealed upon hearing Lin Hai's words, as if a cold sword beam shot out from them.
"Moreover, this is only because we have formations that can hold them back. Otherwise, their first person would have already charged in. Several Crimson Blood soldiers were directly suppressed and killed with a single palm strike!" Lin Hai's eyes flashed with a cold gleam as he spoke. With Lin Feng away, he was considered the master of this palace, but facing those kinds of experts, he could only feel powerless, relying on activating the formations to defend, watching some Crimson Blood soldiers being slain.
"If we move out, without the formations to rely on, wouldn't we be at their mercy, to kill or to spare?" Lin Feng's eyes grew even colder upon hearing that Crimson Blood soldiers had been killed.
"That's what I'm worried about. That's why I've been hesitating about whether to have everyone enter the formations to resist. But if we do that, what if they have experts who can break the formations? And besides, we can't stay inside the palace forever!" Lin Hai said angrily.
"Caught between a rock and a hard place!" Old Man Huo also sighed. Without strength, this was how it was—at others' mercy.
"Three days later, huh!" Lin Feng murmured softly, his voice cold.
"Xiao Feng, don't act impulsively!" Yue Menghe heard Lin Feng's muttering and advised, "They have many venerable ones. Even if your strength is now great and you can deal with some venerable ones, you simply can't contend with three huge forces. We have to find another way."
"If it doesn't work, we'll just stall with them, never going out, and see how long they can stay in Yangzhou City." Lin Hai naturally didn't want Lin Feng to clash with them either. Three powerful forces weren't something Lin Feng alone could handle. Their son Lin Feng had extraordinary talent, already able to deal with venerable martial experts at such a young age, possessing limitless potential. As long as they waited a few more years, they wouldn't have to worry about taking revenge.
"Where there's life, there's hope. Lin Feng, you need time!" Old Man Chi also advised. Lin Feng smiled, naturally understanding that everyone cared about him and was afraid he might act on impulse.
"Moreover, I had people investigate. It's not just Yangzhou City. Throughout the entire Snow Moon Kingdom, many experts have appeared. And the center of this storm is actually the place where your former sect was located, the Cloud Sea Mountain Range. It's said that the experts stationed there are the most terrifying, all from extremely fearsome major forces. No one knows where they came from!"
"They come from the Eight Wastelands Realm, just like me." Lin Feng said with a smile, causing the crowd to congeal. They all came from the Eight Wastelands Realm.
"No wonder every force is so terrifying. So they come from the Eight Wastelands, where experts are as numerous as clouds!"
"Xiao Feng, just remember not to act impulsively. We still have a few days. You can think about whether to stay or leave. We'll listen to you." Lin Hai still seemed uneasy and advised once more.
"Father, I understand." Lin Feng nodded slightly and didn't explain much. The more he said, the more his parents would worry about him.
"Alright, Xiao Feng, you've just come from so far away in the Eight Wastelands Realm, and we've been pulling you aside asking questions. You must be tired. We old folks will take our leave now. You spend more time with Xinye!" Lin Hai smiled. Lin Feng had his own sense of discretion in handling matters. He had already said what he needed to say. Lin Feng would make his own decision from here on out, so he wouldn't meddle anymore.
"Xiao Feng, whether it's Meng Qing, Xinye, or Feifei, they all willingly follow you. This is your blessing. Don't let these good children down." Yue Menghe suddenly transmitted her voice to Lin Feng, her tone quite serious. She was naturally happy that her son had many good girls who liked him, but she also didn't want her son to betray anyone. She and Lin Hai had suffered enough hardships, and she didn't want this kind of thing to happen to the girls who deeply loved Lin Feng.
"Mother, I understand!" Lin Feng transmitted back. Yue Menghe glared at Lin Feng, then smiled at Xinye and Liu Fei, saying, "Xinye, Feifei, you two take good care of Xiao Feng!"
With that, she left together with Lin Hai. Old Man Huo and Old Man Chi smiled and naturally took the hint to leave, leaving only the girls still by Lin Feng's side.
Xinye and Liu Fei both showed a hint of shyness upon hearing Yue Menghe's parting words. Lin Feng smiled, turned his head to look at Xinye beside him, gently stroked her jade-like face, and said softly, "Xinye, you've suffered."
Xinye placed her finger on Lin Feng's lips, her gaze full of tenderness. "You're back, that's what matters. Come on, let's go to my place!"
With that, Xinye pulled Lin Feng up, then ran to the side, took Liu Fei's hand, and said with a smile, "Feifei, you can stay with me too."
Liu Fei used to live in the General's Tomb. Now, to avoid Liu Fei recalling those painful memories again, it was naturally better not to stay there.
"Thank you!" Liu Fei knew Xinye's good intentions and looked at her gratefully.
"We're all family now. No need to say thank you. From now on, I'll call you Feifei Jie. Let's go!" The two girls held hands and walked out, leaving Lin Feng forgotten there, causing him to smile wryly.
"Brother, see, your little sister is the one who treats you best!" Xiao Ya jumped onto Lin Feng's back, poked her head out, and smiled at Lin Feng.
"Alright, Xiao Ya is the best!" Lin Feng rolled his eyes at this girl. She was already a graceful young lady, yet she still acted like a child. Shaking his body, Lin Feng carried Xiao Ya on his back and followed Xinye and the others.
Xinye liked quietness and elegance. The place she lived in now still had a small bridge and flowing water, without towering halls, only elegant rooms arranged in a cave dwelling by the stream. Xiao Ya and Yun Xi had always lived with Xinye. The girls together, harmonious and happy, alleviated much of their longing for each other.
"Does the room still have a hot spring?" Lin Feng looked at the familiar-looking cave dwelling and said to Xinye with a smile. Xinye's face immediately flushed slightly, and she glared at Lin Feng.
"Tonight, Feifei Jie and I will sleep together. You can lie in the bamboo grove!" Xinye hummed.
"Uh..." Lin Feng gave a trembling smile. He had just come home; did he need to be treated this harshly?
"There should be room for one more person!" Lin Feng muttered softly. Xinye reacted, spat, and scolded him coquettishly, "You pervert!"
"Feifei Jie, let's go. Let's ignore him." Xinye pulled Liu Fei toward the rooms in the cave dwelling, leaving Lin Feng silently weeping. How was this any different from when Meng Qing had treated Xinye back then, leaving him out in the cold?
"Young Master, how about you rest at my place? Yun Xi and I can squeeze together!" Yi Xue saw Lin Feng's bitter face and couldn't help but suggest.
Lin Feng glanced at the sky. Night was falling, so he nodded slightly. "Alright, Yi Xue, sorry for the trouble!"
"No trouble at all. If it weren't for you, Young Master, I'd still be a servant. I'll go tidy up the room!" Yi Xue ran off. Yun Xi followed her. Lin Feng looked at Xiao Ya, cupped her cheeks with both hands, and said, "Xiao Ya, do you miss Grandpa?"
Xiao Ya was stunned for a moment, then silently nodded.
"When the time is right, I'll take you to find Grandpa!" Lin Feng rubbed Xiao Ya's head affectionately.
"Mm, but Brother still needs to get stronger, you know. The Holy City Central Continent is independent of the continent, isolated from all regions. Only when you truly get there, Brother, will you understand what kind of land it is. It's countless times more prosperous than even the Eight Wastelands Realm!" Xiao Ya grinned at Lin Feng.
"I'll work hard. You work hard too, Xiao Ya!" Lin Feng said with a smile. As his strength grew, Lin Feng naturally learned more things. Back then, Old Man Xiao had left a mark on him. That wasn't a complete divine sense force, but merely a wisp of a divine sense imprint. Yet even just a wisp of an imprint, Old Man Xiao had directly scared off a venerable one. Old Man Xiao's strength was unfathomable.
"In youth, he set a soaring ambition, to trample through this Nine Heavens Continent!"
Lin Feng murmured softly in his heart, recalling the ballad from Old Man Xiao's mouth. In the Holy City Central Continent, the youth who dared to set the soaring ambition of trampling through the Nine Heavens Continent was Xiao Ya's deceased brother. Just how strong must his talent have been!
