Chapter 5 - The New Talent (2/2)

“Next, I will concentrate fully on attaining the Mirror Realm for the level-three NingYuan Realm is far from enough!”

With his eyes squinting, he starts to contemplate. The level-three NingYuan Realm previously was a high position for him, but now such kind of position for him is not even worth mentioning. From now on, he should set his lofty ambition…

Coming out of the martial-skill attic, Yuan Feng feels the whole world is filled with hope. The acquisition of the talent of swallowing made him rejoice before. Currently, the acquisition of the talent which facilitates the process of grasping martial skills renders him much confidence. With the assistance of the two sorts of talents, he will surely shake he whole world.

“Energy, energy, what I lack most is energy. This month’s supply has been used up, so now it’s time to visit my ‘Other people’s Dad’.”

On the way back he is thinking about the finite resources he can rest upon. Although he is not the former Yuan Feng, due to the integration of the two sources of memories the world is not strange to him and these relatives still remain the same.

The master Yuan Qingyun’s courtyard is very peaceful. Yuan Qingyun has lived alone there without a servant since Yuan Feng’s mother passed away. It can be observed that he misses his wife a great deal.

The moment Yuan Feng walks into the courtyard, he catches a view of the towering back of a figure before him. With a height of seven inches or so, in a green shirt, two hands naturally held back, the man faces a Chinese paraso in a daze. Although the figure’s back is towering, it adds a little loneliness instead.

“Is this man my dad in this world? He seems to be a sentimental person!”

When walking from outside into the courtyard, Yuan Feng consciously muffles his steps. Equipped with the Footwork of the Flying Dragon, he can walk without emitting any sound. He is unwilling to break the tranquility.

“Hey hey, he is laden with care. It appears that abundant secrets have dwelled in his heart!” YuanFeng silently watches him for a moment and he can feel that Yuan Qingyun’s mood is quite mixed. It remains unknown whether he is annoyed by the Yuan clan’s affair or his future or something else.

“So delighted to visit dad!”

A moment later, Yuan Feng finally speaks out because now he is eager to enhance his strength and has no time to accompany his father who is in a state of absent-mindedness.

“En?”

The abrupt sound from his back makes his body turn sharply towards Yuan Feng. He fails to conceal a glimmer of astonishment across his face.

“XiaoFeng?”

When looking at Yuan Feng who is standing there with a gentle smile, Yuan Qingyun can’t refrain from being absent-minded. Though he has stood there for a period of time, he doesn’t sense the approaching of someone. He doesn’t notice when Yuan Feng has come.

“I’ve intruded father’s rest. Hope that you’ll not blame me.”

Facing this familiar but slightly strange face, Yuan Feng feels a bit exhilarated. In the former world he was lonely and never had experienced the affection among family members while in this world he has his own father. Detached as this father is always to him and never has rendered him a father’s caring, now he definitely has his own relative.

“You’ve worried a lot. I was thinking about something. So you didn’t interrupt me.”

Yuan Qingyun’s complexion gradually gets eased. Although he doesn’t like Yuan Feng very much, he will not totally ignore his own son. As to the fact that he didn’t sense Yuan Feng’s approach, he attributes this to the focus on his own things, so that he neglected all things behind him. Also, he doesn’t think much about that.

“Er? Xiao Feng, has your wound already recovered?”

After coming back to life, Yuan Qingyun spots that the bandage on his arms has disappeared. His whole body seems quite robust and he looks more energetic than when he was wounded.

“Thank you for your great concern, dad. Now, I’ve recovered with the aid of some Magical Plants.” With a smile on his face, he feels a sense of warmth. Anyhow, it’s the first time for him to sense this kind of warmth from family members.

“Right. Dad, this time I got hurt, but my Qi does really get enhanced. Thereby I want to seek some Magical Plants of old age to consolidate my basis and cultivate Qi in order to attain the level-three NingYuan Realm. I want to ask you for help, dad.”

The prime matter should be placed at the top of the agenda. There are sufficient chances for him to enjoy the family affection. At present, the pivot is to obtain energy.

“What? Your Qi has been elevated? Really?” Sure enough, after hearing Yuan Feng’s words, Yuan Qingyun instantly looks very happy. The fact that Yuan Feng’s failure to improve his achievement is his central concern. Now, informed of the good news about his son, he gets cheered a lot.

“Here is a ginseng of an old age acquired by me when I travelled during the early years. You take it to strengthen your body. It should be of effect.”  With his words barely finished, he passes a small box made of jade to Yuan Feng.

“The ginseng of old age?” Yuan Feng rejoices at seeing the small jade-made box, and then hurries to receive it. This substance is of great value. The single one can equal dozens of times of all the Magical Plants he has consumed before. If sold in the market, this substance is definitely an invaluable commodity. But Yuan Qingyun gives him without any hesitation, which can prove his consideration for him. And it can be concluded from this that his father is so cordial to him.

“Thanks, dad. Now I’ll return to cultivate, and I will live up to your expectation.”

After receiving the ginseng of old age, Yuan Feng bows to Yuan Qingyun and departs in a hurry without any delay. Ginseng of old age is a treasure for him at present. If it is not due to his unwillingness to let others know the secret, he will consume it right now.

What’s more, he knows his situation. It is not appropriate if others detect something, and then doubts arise.

“Er, this kid…”

Watching Yuan Feng’s running away, Yuan Qingyun becomes absent-minded again. If there isn’t something wrong with his memory, it should be the first time he has seen Yuan Feng’s active practice, which shocks him a lot.

“Did he get stumbled and turns sensible?”

Watching Yuan Feng leave, he shakes his head, not thinking much anymore. He retrieves his view and projects it towards the Chinese parasol. He becomes sentimental once again.

“Wu’er, our child has grown up, but when our family of three members can reunite again!” With a sigh, he becomes thoroughly nostalgic.
