Chapter 915: Chapter 568 Feng Xianru_2

Delicate and clear eyes carried a touch of helpless fear.

It was probably because she thought he was going to let go.

Xu Yuan shook his head and said in a low voice:

"Leave first and wait for me outside the ancestral shrine."

"....."

Feng Mingming fell silent for a short while, nodded gently, and then walked slowly towards the cave’s exit.

The young girl’s footsteps were very slow, and when passing by the young man in white, her head was nearly tucked in like an ostrich, clutching the hem of her dress tightly.

It seemed she was afraid that the other party might suddenly attack her.

However, in the flickering of the bright lantern, the young man in white only gave her a cold glance.

In the silence, Xu Yuan watched the girl’s departing figure, but soon his view was blocked.

The young man in white moved unnoticeably half a step forward and to the side, obstructing Xu Yuan’s view of Feng Mingming.

And this subtle movement made Xu Yuan’s expression instantly odd.

As the footsteps faded away and the girl’s figure completely disappeared from sight, Xu Yuan shifted his gaze to the young man in white.

Their silent eye contact gradually tightened the atmosphere.

When it was about to reach a breaking point, Xu Yuan suddenly let out a light chuckle:

"Not a bad gaze, but didn’t you ever think that if you annoy me with that Integration Body of yours, you wouldn’t know how to leave this limestone cave yourself?"

"..."

The young man in white had an indifferent look in his eyes, without replying, he slightly raised his hand, and the whole limestone cave instantly surged with Qi energy.

Its formidable pressure caused the entire mountain cliff to tremble slightly.

Seeing this change, Ran Qingmo and Bai Muxi’s eyes immediately showed a trace of deep solemnity.

However, Xu Yuan still maintained a faint smile.

Because this Qi energy was not Feng Ruxian’s own strength, but was borrowed from the Formation, the Formation of the Feng Family ancestral shrine.

Although the passage here was very narrow, it was just superficial.

As a Formation protecting the Feng Family ancestral shrine, its Formation Patterns had already spread throughout the nearby mountain ranges and were on par with some sects’ great formation, capable of severing those who have achieved Mortal Transcendence when fully activated.

Within the center of his palm shone a divine light, the young man in white had a slightly cold expression:

"Do you think this is enough?"

"...."

Realizing what the other party was relying on, Xu Yuan glanced at the nine bright lanterns extending along the passage.

At this moment, under Feng Xianru’s control, all nine bright lanterns were already lit.

In other words, this young man had already cleared this part of the trial, gaining the preliminary approval from the Feng Family ancestral shrine.

To be able to pass the ancestral shrine’s test at the age of sixteen... oh no, perhaps even earlier, given that the youngster had already learned to adeptly control the Formation.

Thinking of this, doubts also arose in Xu Yuan’s heart.

The nine bright lanterns were just the initial test, past the passage, there were two more tests.

The second test was the ancestral spirit chamber, which contained many soul marks left behind by ancestors.

And the third was the soul mark of the Feng Family’s Great Ancestor.

Passing all three tests would initially qualify one for the Direct Lineage inheritance.

With Feng Xianru’s Cultivation level, it would still be hard to pass the third test, since the soul mark left by his maternal uncle had not even dissipated yet.

But for Feng Xianru to pass the second test should be no problem.

Why is it still intact?

Staring at Feng Xianru for a few breaths, Xu Yuan suddenly asked out of the blue:

"Kid, do you... like Feng Mingming?"

"....."

The air stilled for a moment.

The young man in white’s indifferent face stiffened briefly, but then he masked it and said calmly:

"If you have such a preference, Your Excellency, there is no need to assume others share it."

Xu Yuan didn’t bother with the kid’s sharp tongue. He walked slowly towards him, speaking to himself:

"With the particularity of the Yin-Yang Mysterious Pattern Body, not even a Primordial expert can see through it, how did you discover she was a girl?"

"....."

Hearing this, the young man in white’s pupils constricted sharply.

As the steady footsteps drew closer, Xu Yuan’s narrow eyes also revealed a hint of playfulness:

"Was it an accidental glimpse that startled you, or was it fate that led to a rescue during distress, or perhaps.... both occurred?"

Speaking, Xu Yuan glanced outside the passage and leisurely said:

"There are quite a few lakes in these deep mountains and forests; you couldn’t have stumbled upon her bathing, could you?"

The young man in white’s expression completely returned to indifference, looking at Xu Yuan as if looking at an idiot, and uttered four words:

"Are you brain sick?!"

Xu Yuan sighed softly, his tone containing a smile:

"After passing the second test of the Feng Family ancestral shrine, you should have received quite a bit of benefits, even perceiving the Dao Charm, why not go ahead and pass the test?"

The young man in white sneered:

"I, Feng Xianru, have never needed such external things to aid my Cultivation."

"A spine of pride indeed."

With a slight approval, Xu Yuan then smiled and said:

"But you might as well keep it. Having it can’t be too bad, right?

"Or is it,

"You know that once someone passes the second challenge of the ancestral hall, those nine lamps outside will be locked by the Energy Mechanism and no one else will be allowed to enter.

"Kid,

"You’re forcing that girl to keep cultivating here... you’re actually trying to save her, aren’t you?

"After all, if a Yin-Yang Mysterious Pattern Body awakes the Dao Charm of both, without proper suppression methods, there’s a high likelihood of immediate death."

The white-clothed youth felt his heartbeat accelerate slightly and clenched his fist fiercely:

"Do you want to die that bad?"

As the words fell, the Qi in the whole corridor had already condensed to its peak, suddenly pressing towards Xu Yuan with the intent to kill.

Sensing the surrounding murderous intent, Xu Yuan let out a light sigh.

Then,

"Snap."

A finger snap.

The hustle and bustle of the mountain range unexpectedly returned to calm without warning.

Xu Yuan walked up to the white-clothed youth, looking down at him with puzzlement and astonishment, smiling and pointing at his heart:

"Kid, you’re flustered.

"Don’t you think it’s strange that I’m so familiar with the Feng Family’s ancestral hall?"

"..." White-clothed youth.

The look in the white-clothed youth’s eyes was uncertain:

"Who..are you?"

Xu Yuan glanced at the youth’s white clothing, brighter by three degrees than snow, and the feeling of familiarity surged in his heart once more.

This genius from the sideline, appears to be the idol of his own maternal uncle.

With that thought, Xu Yuan slowly said:

"Morning Phoenix Mysterious Pattern Robe... I’ve often seen others wear this garment, but theirs isn’t of the same style as yours."

"..."

Feng Xianru’s mind went blank for a moment, realizing who the person mentioned by the other party was.

...Xu Changtian?

No, that prodigal son is already dead.

Thinking of this, Feng Xianru subconsciously stepped back, and a name that made one shiver gradually surfaced in his mind.

Xu...

Xu Changge...

Just as the name emerged, the gentle voice of the man in front came once more:

"So, do you still wish for my death?"

"..."

Hearing this,

The indifferent gaze at that moment seemed as if it could captivate one’s soul, Feng Xianru’s knees nearly bent and he almost sat on the ground, but his pride forced him to look directly at the man in front of him, he took a deep breath, neither humble nor arrogant:

"Do you take such pleasure in fooling me and the Eldest Young Master?"

"You think too highly of yourself."

"..." Feng Xianru.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan’s expression was indifferent, and he felt slightly more at ease.

He was actually a bit worried that his identity might be suspected, after all, he was a bit of a talker, and Xu Changge usually only took action without talking.

But now it seemed there was no need for concern.

Xu Changge’s reputation was grand, but too few had actually seen him.

After giving Feng Xianru another glance, Xu Yuan turned and walked into the depths of the corridor:

"I heard that the sideline has produced two geniuses, although my first impression of you wasn’t very good, now I see your nature isn’t bad, just your methods are misguided."

After taking a few steps, Xu Yuan suddenly spoke without turning around:

"By the way, from now on, you’re not allowed to bully that girl again."

Feng Xianru heard this and his fist under his sleeve tightened slightly:

"This matter... should have nothing to do with you, Eldest Young Master."

"I promised that girl."

"I can’t comply."

"I didn’t ask for your opinion."

"Eldest Young Master is not the Family Head, and I have no reason to obey your orders..."

"Bang!"

His footsteps halted, a dull sound interrupted Feng Xianru’s words.

With a strike mixed with the powerful Qi of the Formation, the stubborn white-clothed youth was instantly slapped to the ground.

Accompanied by echoing footsteps, that plain voice drifted from the depths of the corridor:

"Now you do."
