In the outskirts of the Nanling City.
Numerous bungalows were located around and in a corner, there was a simple and crude detached bungalow. This was Jiang Feng's home.
"Grandpa."
Jiang Feng pushed open the door and entered, only to find that there was no one inside. His gaze habitually looked towards a wooden table, on which were two small spirit stones. He walked forward and picked them up, the corners of his eyes slightly moist.
"Grandpa, it's Feng'er's fault." Jiang Feng muttered, choking with sobs.
Grandpa Jiang had always hoped that he could become a warrior. He was righteous, indomitable, and a good man.
Therefore, every night, Grandpa Jiang would go out to hunt in the mountains at night and take great risks to earn cultivation resources for Jiang Feng. However, it seemed that Jiang Feng was destined to be unable to become a martial practitioner.
However, even if he wasn't able to become a practitioner, Jiang Feng would still be able to rise to the heavens with an upright spirit. For his grandfather, his dao wasn't a devil either.
" since Rongxue's sword skill is close to perfection, I'll give these two small Spirit Stones to her. I hope that I can help her sense the Spiritual Qi tomorrow and enter the realm that I don't have anymore."
Jiang Feng held the spirit stone tightly and immediately entered his small room. He sat cross legged and began to think of how to help Mu Rongxue sense the spirit energy tomorrow.
...
The sun rose. In the early morning, everything was so clear.
Jiang Feng meditated for an entire night. Not only did he not feel tired, but he also felt refreshed as he breathed in the clear air. Perhaps it was because he could help Mu Rongxue sense the Spiritual Qi and enter a completely new realm today.
"It's so good early in the morning." With excitement in his heart, Jiang Feng headed to the Mu Estate early.
Soon, Jiang Feng arrived at the Mu Estate and walked towards it as usual. However, the moment he stepped onto the stone steps, several guards suddenly blocked his path, causing his brows to twitch and his expression to change.
"What do you mean?" Jiang Feng asked with a frown.
"Mu's Mansion is very busy today. You can go back now." Chen Xing, the captain of Mu's Mansion's guards, walked out of the mansion with a mocking smile on his face.
He had always looked down on Jiang Feng and was very jealous of him. A good-for-nothing could actually stay with a young miss every day. However, due to the Mu Estate's attitude, he could only be respectful towards Jiang Feng. However, things were different now.
You?
Jiang Feng's heart skipped a beat and he began to sink down. Yesterday, no one in the Mu Estate paid any attention to him. Today, they even called him by his name. This was not only a strange feeling, it also represented the attitude of the Mu Estate.
"Where is Uncle Mu?" Jiang Feng's body grew cold.
"How dare you!"
Chen Xing's eyes darkened and he scolded, "You don't deserve to call the head of the family uncle. Don't you know your identity? You're just a good-for-nothing who can't condense Spiritual Qi. Do you really think you can pursue the First Miss and build ties with her?"
It hurt.
Jiang Feng only felt heartache. He wasn't stupid. Chen Xing was just a watchdog. For him to dare do this to him, it was naturally the Mu Estate's intention. Thinking back to Mu Yuanshan's words and attitude yesterday, he knew that the Mu Estate didn't want to have any more interactions with him.
In fact, as early as yesterday, Jiang Feng already had a guess. However, as the old devil had said, he was deceiving himself and was unwilling to admit it because he cared about Mu Rongxue.
Otherwise, she would not have said those words: "Using my comprehension talent to guide her up the mountain step by step and see her shine. This is also a kind of happiness."
"I want to see Rongxue." Jiang Feng took a step forward and was about to walk into the manor.
He didn't know why the Mu Estate had agreed to let him interact with Mu Rongxue back then. He didn't know why they were so cold now. He didn't want to know either. At this moment, he only wanted to know Mu Rongxue's attitude.
Was she the same?
"How dare you!"
Chen Xing took a step forward and blocked Jiang Feng's path. He laughed coldly, "Useless trash, you'd better know your own limits. The Mu Estate no longer has any connections with you. Also, my young mistress' name isn't something you can directly address. If it happens again, you'll have to bear the consequences."
"Get lost!" Jiang Feng took a deep breath and shouted coldly. Right now, he was very agitated. He only wanted to see Mu Rongxue.
"The most lamentable thing in a man's life is one's lack of self-awareness. Since that's the case, I'll show mercy and teach you how to conduct yourself." Chen Xing smiled sinisterly. Without waiting for Jiang Feng's reaction, he abruptly threw a punch.
Jiang Feng only felt a pain in his lower abdomen as he fell down the stone steps.
After all, he had not condensed Spiritual Qi, and Chen Xing had already entered the eighth level of Body Tempering some time ago. At this moment, he was still no match for Chen Xing.
"Brothers, teach this good-for-nothing how to be a good-for-nothing." Chen Xing looked down from above, his face full of sarcasm. At this moment, he completely vented the jealousy in his heart.
The left and right guards laughed as they surrounded Jiang Feng. The next moment, countless fists and kicks landed on Jiang Feng's body like raindrops. It was futile for him to resist with all his might. However, his deep and firm gaze was always fixed on the direction of the Mu Estate.
"A good-for-nothing is always a good-for-nothing. This is what a good-for-nothing should be treated like." Chen Xing looked at this scene in a playful way, feeling very comfortable.
"Rumble, rumble, rumble..."
At this moment, the sound of hooves suddenly sounded, from far to near, making the whole earth start to tremble.
In the distance, dust flew everywhere. A group of figures rode over at an extremely fast speed.
"Bloody horse, the people of the Imperial City have finally arrived." A look of surprise flashed across Chen Xing's eyes, and then he was very happy and hurried forward to welcome them.
At this moment, Jiang Feng was directly ignored. It could be seen that the people from the imperial palace were much more important than Jiang Feng's matters.
The frigid horse gradually moved forward, bringing with it a thick layer of dust. Meanwhile, the people on horseback were all heroic and extraordinary, carrying a biting cold aura.
Soon, more than twenty cavalrymen came to the Mu Estate, and their speed gradually slowed down. Obviously, the Mu Estate was their destination.
Arriving in front of the Mu Estate, more than twenty cavalrymen stood around him. A man dressed in green clothes slowly stepped forward. He sized up the Mu Estate and frowned slightly.
"Is this the Mu Estate?"
"Your Honor, this is the Mu Estate. Welcome, all of you." Chen Xing hurriedly stepped forward and smiled. His face was full of flattery.
"Where is Mu Rongxue?" The man did not even look at Chen Xing. There was a hint of arrogance in his expression.
"Sir, the Family Head and Miss have been waiting for a long time. I'm here to welcome them. Sir, please!"
Towards the man's arrogance, Chen Xing did not feel uncomfortable. On the contrary, he was extremely respectful. With a fawning expression, he led the people from the Imperial City into the Mu Estate. The left and right guards obediently arranged their horses.
"Why are you looking for Mu Rongxue?" At this moment, Jiang Feng stood up from the ground. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stared intently at the man in green.
"Are you talking to me?" The green clothed man halted his footsteps, his brow furrowed even deeper, but he didn't turn back. He hadn't even looked at Jiang Feng from start to finish. It was as if in his eyes, Jiang Feng was like dust, small and insignificant.
It was to the extent where he didn't even have the qualifications to speak to him.
"Why are you looking for Mu Rongxue?" Jiang Feng emphasized his tone. He didn't care about the identity of the people from the Imperial City. He only cared. He could feel that the change in the Mu Estate's attitude must have something to do with the people from the Imperial City.
"Slap him in the face," the indigo-robed man said coldly.
"Yes, sir!"
As soon as the young man finished speaking, a cavalry strode out. He stamped his foot and appeared in front of Jiang Feng as fast as a gust of wind. With a sudden slap, Jiang Feng was sent flying.
"Spiritual Qi Vortex, Tempered Body Tenth Layer!" Chen Xing raised his eyes, full of shock.
At the seventh level of Body Tempering, one could sense the Spiritual Qi. At the tenth level, one could condense the Spiritual Qi into a vortex to attack. At the peak of the Body Tempering stage, one could condense a Spiritual Qi storm.
In the entire Mu Estate, there weren't many existences that were above the tenth level of the Body Tempering stage. However, this group of people, who had randomly stepped out and contributed, were all this powerful. It was hard to imagine just how powerful their forces were.
The fact that the Mu Estate was able to establish a relationship with them was not just for the Mu Estate. Perhaps, it was also a great opportunity for them.
"Firstly, I don't like your tone. Secondly, the three words 'Mu Rongxue' isn't something you should call." The green clothed man was still as arrogant as before. He didn't even look at Jiang Feng as he stepped into the Mu Estate.
Chen Xing and the others followed him with even more flattery. When they passed by Jiang Feng, they spat fiercely.
Blood kept oozing out of the corner of Jiang Feng's mouth as he hastily dodged.
"You're a good-for-nothing. You're as flexible as a dog." Chen Xing sneered and slammed the door shut.
Jiang Feng stood up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. His deep eyes were filled with a cold light.
The ruthless Mu Estate didn't care about the past and abandoned him like dust.
He hated Chen Xing for taking advantage of his power and looking at him like a good-for-nothing.
The arrogant young man's words were law, and he regarded him as a slave.
Was this the cruelty of strength?
He clenched his fists, and his cold eyes seemed to freeze everything in front of him, full of endless coldness.
"Kid, do you want to become stronger and make the Mu Estate regret it? Get that dog slave to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy. Get that arrogant young man to take you as his master and trample on his pride. As long as..." The old devil was everywhere and took the right opportunity to seduce him.
"Get lost!" Jiang Feng roared angrily. At this moment, his chest was filled with rage. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to resist the temptation of the devil and make a wise decision.
Even if the entire world betrayed him, he still had a grandfather. For the sake of his grandfather, his Dao was not a devil.
