In the small town tavern.
The place was now empty, with only Yi Feng and Gui Wanhai remaining.
Gazing at the familiar yet now unfathomable face, Gui Wanhai was filled with tension and shock, having lost all his forr ease and nonchalance. He stood there dumbly for a long ti, not daring to utter a word, his eyes full of astonishnt!
It wasn't until Yi Feng spoke and invited him.
"Brother Gui?"
"Why are you still standing? Let's sit down and drink slowly."
The words were still as familiar and friendly as ever, but now they sounded even more shocking.
To be so calm and composed after such a great battle... truly the deanor of a master.
At this mont.
Gui Wanhai finally understood why Yi Feng hadn't shown the slightest bit of restraint when they first t, and why the friends he had brought along before had said that Yi Feng was anything but ordinary.
So, this friend's cultivation was actually this terrifying!
How laughable it was that back then, he had thought he was the one overlooking status to befriend Yi Feng, had been moved by this simple friendship, and had even considered bestowing an opportunity upon Yi Feng...
Now it seed, the one who didn't care about such things was Yi Feng. On the contrary, it was he who had been granted an opportunity by the other.
The other had casually resolved his life-and-death calamity with a wave of his hand!
He had truly been reaching far above his station...
The more he thought about it, the more ashad he felt; the more he thought, the more awkward it beca.
Despite the imnse kindness, Gui Wanhai was now too ashad to speak, awkwardly cupping his fists, unable to utter a single word.
Seeing him like this, Yi Feng laughed heartily, looked at him, and spoke.
"Brother Gui, you seem a bit awkward today, not as carefree as before. We haven't finished this wine yet. If you try to skip out on the bill, I won't let you off."
The still-friendly words touched Gui Wanhai's heart.
Brother Yi possessed such profound cultivation, yet never showed the slightest arrogance. He had even lowered himself to befriend him. And after saving his life, he didn't say a word more about it...
Such a gentlemanly deanor was truly admirable.
To be able to beco close friends with such a mighty figure in this lifeti was a trendous honor, a blessing bestowed upon him by Brother Yi.
Gui Wanhai's brow relaxed, moved, he responded and sat down.
"Thank you, Brother Yi!"
"As long as Brother Yi wishes to drink to his heart's content, I will surely keep you company even at the risk of my life!"
Yi Feng also laughed out loud, responding cheerfully.
"Good!"
Now completely free of worries, by the sunlit window, the two drank several cups together. The atmosphere beca harmonious again, as relaxed and comfortable as when they first t.
Seeing Brother Gui regain his carefree deanor, Yi Feng also appreciated this rich second-generation heir even more. This was a true friend, a close confidant connected by pure friendship.
Catching a glimpse of the ss on the floor out of the corner of his eye, Yi Feng rembered the doubt in his heart and asked.
"Brother Gui."
"I'm a bit curious, why did you provoke so many sea tribes?"
Hearing this, Gui Wanhai put down his wine cup and sighed with emotion.
"Ah..."
"At this point, there's no need to hide my status anymore. Actually, I am the son of the Sea Sovereign!"
"My father hasn't shown himself for tens of thousands of years. The various clans of my race have long been restless. Plus, so ti ago, my father's abode was forcibly entered and damaged, yet my father has been absent without a trace, as if he has secluded himself from the world. This only boosted their confidence further."
"So, they bared their fangs, gathered the old monsters from various clans, and wanted to kill , the Sea Sovereign's son, to legitimately vie for the Sea Sovereign's throne and take control of the sea domains!"
"Before, they wouldn't have dared to co ashore, as the Divine Temple was here and wouldn't tolerate such lawlessness. But now the Divine Temple was also cut down by a mysterious figure and is struggling to protect itself, having no ti to bother with them. That's why they chased here."
"If not for Brother Yi's righteous assistance, I'm afraid I would have died here. Such a great kindness is beyond re thanks. If there is anything you need to do in the future, Brother Yi, just say the word!"
With everything settled, Gui Wanhai simply laid out all the hidden details.
Speaking his mind felt relieving. All sorts of emotions were finally put to rest. His words were filled with the sincerity of baring his heart and deep gratitude towards Yi Feng.
After hearing this, Yi Feng's expression turned sowhat awkward.
He really hadn't expected...
The rich second-generation heir he'd been drinking and chatting with all along was actually the son of the Sea Sovereign. This was truly unexpected. Thinking back to certain previous events, it was enough to make one's toes curl with embarrassnt!
Gui Wanhai had been waiting honestly for a response, but Yi Feng remained silent, his expression growing increasingly awkward. Unable to contain his curiosity, Gui Wanhai asked.
"Brother Yi?"
eting Gui Wanhai's puzzled gaze, Yi Feng had no choice but to grit his teeth and rub his nose.
"Thank you for your sincere explanation, Brother Gui."
"Actually, I also have sothing to say. It's just... it might not be very pleasant..."
Hearing this, Gui Wanhai laughed heartily, pouring wine as he responded.
"Hahaha."
"Why is Brother Yi being awkward too? Between you and , there should be no reservations at all. Unless Brother Yi disdains associating with now."
Hearing this, Yi Feng could only quietly confess the truth.
"Well..."
"Actually... it was who broke your door. And your father's palace... I was the one who rummaged through it and made a ss..."
As soon as the words fell.
Gui Wanhai's hand, pouring wine, froze in mid-air.
He looked up, his face utterly dumbfounded!
Even as the wine overflowed and the aroma filled the table, he didn't react.
Under Gui Wanhai's stunned gaze.
Yi Feng's voice continued to sound.
"The destruction of the Divine Temple was also my doing."
Gui Wanhai's eyes widened sharply, and his wine-pouring hand began to tremble slightly!
Hearing the wine pot creak, Yi Feng felt even more embarrassed. He could only try to explain the situation as tactfully as possible.
"If I'm not mistaken..."
"Overall, that's roughly the situation. Because I cut down the Divine Temple, causing great chaos in the Land of Fallen Gods, and then, forced by certain reasons, I smashed your family's door, and then... that's what led the sea tribes to hunt you down."
"The life-threatening danger you faced was actually caused by ."
Hearing this.
Gui Wanhai was shocked as if struck by lightning. His whole body seed to go limp. The wine pot fell from his hand, shattering on the floor!
Crash!
With that crisp sound, his mind also began to buzz!
Damn it...
So, everything was set in motion by Brother Yi? The inexplicable upheaval he had pondered over, the great chaos for both humans and sea tribes, was all casually stirred up by this one person?
A single individual had stirred up storms across Lan Star!
In the face of such great chaos, even soone like him, the son of the Sea Sovereign, was like a helpless duckweed, nearly losing his life in it. This calamity was truly unprecedented.
To be able to trigger such a terrifying situation... what kind of dreadful power and cultivation level must that require?
His friend, Brother Yi, actually had power that reached the heavens!
The truth was far more shocking than any assumption!
Utterly shocking!
Gui Wanhai was completely dumbstruck, his face a picture of soone questioning their very existence, unable to co back to his senses. Everything he had just heard had far exceeded his vision and understanding!
He didn't know how much ti passed...
Gui Wanhai still looked dazed, but fortunately, he finally showed so reaction, his throat moving as he stared over.
Only then did Yi Feng continue to explain, his eyes full of embarrassnt.
"Brother Gui."
"This matter is really all my fault. Although I didn't an to harm you on purpose, and I had my reasons for visiting your father, having no choice but to break your door, the consequences all stem from . I won't shirk responsibility."
Gui Wanhai's throat moved several tis before he finally let out a long sigh.
"Hoo..."
"Brother Yi, there's no need to bla yourself so much. You've already saved , so let's not speak of this matter again. As for my father's cave abode, it's rely an external possession, not worth ntioning. Since the old man himself hasn't even shown his face, I can't be bothered with it either."
"However, the Divine Land is in great chaos now, and this cannot go on indefinitely. The Star Lord is also nowhere to be seen. Brother Yi, do you know his whereabouts?"
Hearing these magnanimous words, Yi Feng finally felt so relief.
After a thorough explanation, he laid out the whole bizarre maneuver by Nan Gong Yi Fang, shocking Gui Wanhai once again, his eyes widening like brass bells!
"What?!"
"The Star Lord actually relinquished the command token? So that ans, Brother Yi, you are now the Lord of Lan Star?!"
This was simply too shocking!
For tens of thousands of years, Star Lords had always been appointed by the Child Star. Never before had anyone heard of soone voluntarily giving up the command token, handing over the suprely revered position of Star Lord to another.
This was just absurdly unbelievable!
To think that back then, he had wanted to bring this friend to the Fallen God Palace to broaden his horizons. Yet, not long after, the guy ends up in charge of the Fallen God Palace?
Good heavens!
