Chapter 329: Chapter 0330: Promise Me, Come Back Alive

He Zhen upon hearing Lin Xue Mei’s words, also retorted, "When did I say I wanted to call my son?"

Lin Xue Mei glared at He Zhen and said, "You just said it."

After finishing, Lin Xue Mei also looked towards Chu Feng and Xie Mengying and said, "You two go on your way."

Such an obvious behavior was only not understood by He Zhen; both Chu Feng and Xie Mengying understood all too well.

In the end, it was Xie Mengying who escorted Chu Feng away from the He Family.

"What kind of act are you playing at?" He Zhen still didn’t quite understand.

Lin Xue Mei gave He Zhen a look and said, "You don’t need to understand. Just wait and enjoy the good life ahead. My son is almost forty, and he’s not even talking about bringing a wife home. If I want to cradle a grandchild, I can only hope for my goddaughter."

He Zhen, upon hearing Lin Xue Mei’s words, instantly understood and said, "You mean Xie Mengying and Brother Chu, they..."

Lin Xue Mei said, "Only you, this old antique, can’t see it."

He Zhen, looking serious, said, "How can this be okay? Xie Mengying is Brother Chu’s teacher, and their ages..."

Lin Xue Mei’s eyes widened as she snapped, "So what if she’s a teacher? Chu Feng will eventually graduate. And as for the age, I’m five years younger than you, did I ever complain?"

He Zhen said, "Men and women can’t be the same."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xue Mei grew even less pleased and retorted, "Why is it that you men are allowed to find someone younger, but we women can only look for someone older? What kind of logic is that? After so many years of gender equality, you old mule, are still belittling us women..."

When it came to arguing, ten He Zhens combined would still be no match for Lin Xue Mei.

"Alright! Alright! I can’t win against you; I give up," He Zhen finally admitted defeat and begged for mercy.

It was now December and the season had already entered winter. Even though the temperature in East River hadn’t dropped too low, the days were much shorter compared to summer.

Even though it was just past six o’clock, the sky had already darkened completely.

Chu Feng and Xie Mengying walked side by side in silence, neither speaking a word.

Silence was the only melody at this moment.

"Will you join me for a sit by Bright Moon Lake?" Xie Mengying suggested.

Chu Feng said, "Sister Mengying, it’s already winter now. The lake water is very cold and could harm your health."

Xie Mengying stubbornly replied, "But I just want to sit there for a while."

Chu Feng looked at Xie Mengying and ultimately nodded, saying, "Okay!"

The two arrived at the lakeside of Bright Moon Lake and due to the weather, there were no longer any student couples meeting in secrecy like in summer. Bright Moon Lake was very quiet at that moment, and it seemed that Xie Mengying was enjoying the tranquility.

They sat down on a bench, and Chu Feng carefully took off his jacket and draped it over Xie Mengying.

Xie Mengying looked at Chu Feng and said, "I’m not cold right now."

Chu Feng explained, "I’ve seen on TV where they do this. I drape my clothes over you, and then you lay your head on my shoulder. Then we look up at the starry sky together. But I think those male leads move too slowly; they should drape it from the beginning. That way, the female lead can lean for a bit longer."

Xie Mengying’s face flushed and she gave Chu Feng a look, "You’re full of tricks."

Even though she chided Chu Feng, Xi Mengying gently leaned her head on Chu Feng’s shoulder.

"Do you think I’m old?" Xie Mengying asked, looking at the stars.

Chu Feng laughed and replied, "How could you be old, Sister Mengying? You’re in the prime of your life right now."

Xie Mengying sighed, and said somberly, "But I will eventually get old..."

Before Xie Mengying could finish, Chu Feng interrupted her, "I can make you never age."

Xie Mengying gave Chu Feng a disdainful look and said, "Quit talking nonsense, who can never age?"

Chu Feng replied with utmost seriousness, "I’m telling the truth."

What Chu Feng said was indeed true. Ancient Martial Arts could prolong life but couldn’t stop aging. However, Cultivation could, and had Chu Feng not found the Jade Scroll before, he wouldn’t dare to make such a claim. Yet, with the Jade Scroll in his possession, Chu Feng had the confidence to say it.

Xie Mengying looked up at Chu Feng and finally said in a disheartened tone, "You’re still afraid I’ll get old."

Chu Feng was taken aback; his words didn’t mean that at all. Where did Xie Mengying’s understanding go off track?

Chu Feng said, "Sister Mengying, that’s not what I meant, I really can make you never age."

Xie Mengying replied, "You don’t need to explain, I understand what you mean."

Chu Feng knew that Xie Mengying entirely misunderstood his point and said, "Sister Mengying, what I’m saying and what you’re talking about are completely different things. I really don’t know how to explain it to you right now, but I’m truly not afraid of you aging. I really do have a way to make you never age."

"It’s still the same thing!"

Sometimes when women fixate on something, it’s truly terrifying.

Chu Feng gave in completely and said, "Okay, Sister Mengying, I’ll find another time to explain this matter to you."

Xie Mengying felt somewhat disappointed and also got up to leave.

Chu Feng grabbed Xi Mengying and then said, "Sister Mengying, I heard everything you and my sister-in-law were saying in the kitchen."

"Ah! You really heard it all!" Xie Mengying, upon hearing his words, felt like a startled deer, and her pretty face couldn’t help but turn scarlet.

Chu Feng nodded and said, "I heard everything. But, Sister Mengying, there are some issues. You really don’t need to worry about them, like age, for example. If I said I wasn’t fond of you, I doubt anyone would believe me. But there are still some problems we can’t avoid, like me and Rongrong."

Some issues must be confronted, and although Chu Feng could accept the world of the Jinghu masters, it didn’t mean everyone else could. Therefore, Chu Feng thought it best to clear up some things in advance.

When Xie Mengying heard Chu Feng’s words, her face couldn’t help but pale slightly.

Indeed, Chu Feng already had a girlfriend. What was she then, the other woman? And thinking of the other women around Chu Feng, Xie Mengying felt, she probably didn’t even qualify as the other woman.

Xie Mengying stood up, handed back Chu Feng’s clothes, and said, "I’m tired. I’m going back now."

Chu Feng said, "I’ll walk you."

The two continued in silence until they reached the dormitory downstairs where Xie Mengying stayed.

Xie Mengying seemed unwilling to say more and, with her head lowered, walked towards the building. Just as Chu Feng was about to turn and leave, Xie Mengying suddenly turned around and said to Chu Feng, "Chu Feng, promise me you’ll be careful, come back alive. And give me some time to think."

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng was joyfully buoyant and said, "Yes! I will certainly come back alive."

Watching Chu Feng, who was as happy as if it were New Year’s, Xie Mengying couldn’t help but giggle softly.

Chu Feng and Xie Mengying parted ways, and he went straight home.

Seeing Chu Feng return, the four women also went back to their respective rooms to rest.

Seeing how worried the four women were for him, Chu Feng’s resolve strengthened even more—he had to survive, he had to be the final victor.

Chu Feng admitted that Sword Obsession was strong, but even so, he had to win. Only by winning could he survive.
