Chapter 280: Returning To Qing Ling Village

Bei Feng’s worries were not unfounded. The higher the Fisherman grade, the greater the chance of catching a higher level item!

If his abilities were lacking, those items would bring more harm to him instead!

So even if he managed to accumulate the experience points to level up to a Grade 4 Fisherman, he would not dare to do it so impulsively. He would rather wait for his strength to improve first before considering if he should make the advancement.

If the other martial practitioners could hear Bei Feng right now, they would definitely spit out a mouthful of old blood. Bei Feng had only taken half a year’s time to tread down the path which most of them would never reach in their lifetime!

Within a short half year, he’d bloody hell gone from a sickly normal person to a Xiantian Lord! And he was even one of the most outstanding Xiantian Lords! What more could one ask for?

Xiantian Lords might seem extremely plentiful, but that was not really the case. The number of known Xiantian Lords in the entire country numbered only around a thousand! Even if those unknown Xiantian Lords were added in, there would still not be more than two thousand!

In comparison, the number of people in the country was around 1.5 or 1.6 billion! One could easily imagine how hard it was to break through to the Xiantian realm!

As for Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts? There was none that was known! Of course, those who were in the know knew that Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts definitely existed. Only, no one knew where they were!

For instance, during the incident at Mount Longhu, the two Japanese guys had mentioned that the Form and Will Fist manual had been obtained from a Controlled Dan Heavenly Expert whom they surrounded and killed. If that Controlled Dan Heavenly Expert had not been killed, it would not be a problem for him to still be alive given the lifespan of a Controlled Dan Heavenly Expert!

As for the large volcanic boulder in the yard, Bei Feng did not bother to move it at all.

He was quite certain that nobody would be able to move and steal it even if they saw that it was extraordinary!

Bei Feng returned to his room and shut his eyes to ponder on some things. Gradually, drowsiness crept under his eyelids and he fell asleep.

The next day, early in the morning, an unexpected and uninvited guest turned up at the villa.

Bei Feng sat calmly in the guest hall and sipped on a cup of tea as he tried to guess the purpose of Nie Yun’s visit.

Nie Yun did not say anything and only regarded Bei Feng silently.

‘How did this person change so drastically? His demeanor is now like an unworldly expert. Except, his face is still too ugly,’ Nie Yun thought silently as he wrinkled his brows.

Bei Feng looked completely different from the young man he saw at the Nie ancestral mansion a mere few months ago. Even describing him as a man completely reborn and remolded was not apt enough anymore!

The only thing he could take comfort in was that Bei Feng’s looks had not changed much. Compared to him, he was still much more handsome.

Fortunately for him, Bei Feng could not hear Nie Yun’s thoughts. Otherwise, he would definitely give him a good beating on the spot!

Bei Feng continued boiling his pot of tea while Nie Yun was preoccupied with his own thoughts. For a moment, the guest hall was completely quiet.

Seeing Bei Feng boiling a pot of tea so nonchalantly as though his presence meant nothing, Nie Yun could not help but curse darkly in his heart, ‘This shameless fellow’s face is even thicker than mine!’

From the unperturbed expression on Bei Feng’s face, Nie Yun was quite sure that if he did not take the initiative to speak, this fellow would not open his mouth at all!

“Bei Feng, are you aware that my grandfather appreciates you greatly?” Nie Yun suddenly spoke, causing Bei Feng to roll his eyes at this strange opening sentence.

‘I don’t even know who’s your grandfather. How would I know whether he appreciates me or not?!’

“Oh?”

Bei Feng raised his head and made a sound in his throat, prompting Nie Yun to continue.

‘F*ck! Does this fellow know how to hold a conversation?’

Nie Yun felt the corners of his mouth twitch involuntarily. Why was it that every time he looked at Bei Feng’s composed face, he would feel a sudden urge to send a punch at that lofty face?!

“My grandfather even has the intention to betroth my sister to you! However, you shouldn’t dwell on such nonsensical thoughts. It’s impossible between you and my sister. Thus, I hope that on the second of February, if my grandfather really tries to matchmake the two of you, you will reject the offer!” Nie Yun continued lowly. Even though Bei Feng had already repaid his debt with the Nie clan, Nie Yun could not accept the thought of his sister marrying a servant of the clan!

That was how Nie Yun thought. Regardless of the reason that Bei Feng had agreed to be the Nie clan’s ancestral mansion’s keeper back then, he still saw a mansion keeper as a servant of his Nie clan!

Even if Bei Feng had broken through to the Evolved Jing stage in his cultivation and was now doing pretty well, it was not enough to make Nie Yun change his mind!

“Oh, did you come here for this? Then, you don’t have to worry. I will not fancy your younger sister,” Bei Feng said with a light smile. At the same time, he regarded Nie Yun with a steady gaze, causing the other to feel extremely uncomfortable.

Finally, Nie Yun could not bear it any longer and snapped. “What are you staring at?”

“I’ve often heard about the fabled sister complex in the past, but I’ve finally met the real thing today…” Bei Feng replied with a serious look on his face.

“Bastard! I’m not a siscon!” Nie Yun snapped angrily. ‘You’re the siscon! Your whole family are siscons!”

“En, I understand!”

Bei Feng nodded heavily, as if he had already seen through everything.

“Hmph! In any case, I hope you remember what you said today when the time comes!”

Seeing Bei Feng behaving like this, Nie Yun knew that there was no point in trying to bicker with him any further. He said his piece and directly left.

As he stepped out of the villa, Nie Yun turned back and cast another glance at the gate. “I hope he still has some self-awareness… my sister is not someone that just anyone can match up to!”

Bei Feng remained seated in the guest hall, enjoying his tea. He took a light sip out of the cup and exhaled a breath of hot air.

A moment later, he went to the yard and jumped atop the huge boulder. Then, he proceeded to practice his martial techniques.

***

It was the eve before the Nie Clan’s ancestral worship ceremony. There was a joyous mood in the homes of some, while another portion of people were stressed with worry.

Those who were rejoicing were naturally those people and clans who had a good relationship with the Nie Clan, or who had never had any conflicts with them before.

Those who were plagued with worries were naturally the people who had stepped forward to kick the Nie Family while they were down. Right now, they were fearful that the Nie Clan would look for them to settle the scores after the ceremony!

But regardless of the reason, numerous influential powers had rushed over to Qing Ling village. A respectful expression hung on everyone’s faces.

The ceremony represented the rise of a Xiantian Lord, and even one who managed to kill another Xiantian Lord despite having broken through not long ago. Such a character was definitely worthy of respect!

Some of the clans even brought along their most outstanding disciples to try and arrange a marriage with the Nie Clan!

The ancestral worship ceremony was scheduled to be held in the afternoon. Only the most influential clans were allowed to be at the actual site to watch. The others would be entertained separately in Qing Ling Village’s only hotel. The entire place had been booked by the Nie Clan for this purpose.

Although the hotel was called Qing Ling Village Hotel, it was not actually located in the village. Rather, it was located in a scenic location on the mountain.

Finally, the next day arrived. The day had not broken, but numerous luxury cars were already parked near the mountain in Qing Ling Village. The atmosphere was extremely lively.

Those clans with more weight had received a direct invitation, and had already headed to the Nie Clan’s ancestral mansion to observe the ceremony.

None of the people who came were ordinary people, so this bit of walking did not mean anything them at all.

A few Nie clan members led the way to the mansion. Without them, it was impossible to guess which corner of the mountain the mansion was located at.

At this time, Bei Feng had also arrived. Mystic Three followed behind him, ready to act on Bei Feng’s orders.

Bei Feng took in a deep breath of air and looked around. In that moment, he could feel a warm sensation spreading through his chest.

Bei Feng even felt a sense of nostalgia as he looked at the grass and the flowers. He would often stop to admire the scenery and smell the flowers. Gradually, the people who had arrived later than him began to overtake their group.

It clearly hadn’t been long since since he was away from the mansion. However, it felt like he had moved out for several decades already.

Bei Feng sighed emotionally as he gazed at the serene village. Although he had already repaid the debt of gratitude to the Nie Family, he still had a special relationship with and numerous precious memories of this place.
