Heavenly Venerable Sovereign

  A black horse galloped like the wind, sweeping past the bluestone street like a shocking thunderbolt, and stopped in front of the ironwork shop.

  At the entrance of the blacksmith's shop, a mountain-like figure stood, who was Lin Heng.

  Lin Heng looked at Lin Feng who was riding together with He Ye on the same saddle, and he also showed a slight surprise.

  Ye Ziyu dismounted her horse with a flutter, and there was still a hint of shyness on her tender little face. She looked at Lin Heng with a slight smile and said: "Uncle Lin, I've brought my brother back to you!"

  "Uh, okay." Lin Heng nodded somewhat awkwardly.

  Lin Feng saw his father and hastily dismounted his horse as well.

  "Uncle Lin, I'll go first, I'll come visit you again when I have time!"

  In the sound of horseshoes, that beautiful figure has already gone far away...

  Looking at the empty and desolate long street, Lin Feng suddenly felt a sense of emptiness in his heart, as if he had lost something.

  "Maple... has grown up already!"

  Lin Heng looked at his restless son and sighed silently, then turned around and walked into the blacksmith's shop.

  ……

  Ye Zi galloped out of the long street, and with a gentle blow of the cool night wind, she became somewhat sober.

  Thinking of tonight's events, a hint of bitter smile also appeared on the young girl's tender face.

  "What's wrong with me? What am I doing?"

  "It's impossible for me and this little brat, so why treat him like this?"

  Recalling the young boy's face flushing red as he vowed to protect her, Ye Zi let out a soft sigh.

  He slightly shook his head, lightly swung his whip, and in an instant, he and his horse disappeared into the night...

  ……

  Lin Feng stood outside the door, gazing at the long street for a long time before finally walking into the blacksmith's shop. Lin Heng was already seated at the table, with a jug of bamboo leaf green tea on it, and two wine cups had been placed beside it.

  "Come on, son, have a drink with me!" Lin Heng said.

  Lin Feng was shocked, but still walked to the table and sat down opposite Lin Heng.

  Lin Hengduan raised his wine cup: "Drink!" He tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.

  Lin Feng also raised his wine cup and took a light sip.

  Although the wine was rich and refreshing, at this moment he drank it, but also had no taste. In front of his eyes, there was only a purple-clothed girl with a clear lotus-like figure.

  "Maple, do you want to know the origin of this Miss Ye Zi?" Lin Heng looked at Lin Feng and smiled lightly.

  Lin Feng's face turned red, he glanced at his father and nodded silently.

  It's clear that Father already knew he had a crush on Ye Zi, and as for his own father, Lin Feng didn't want to hide anything either.

  "Ye Zi's father is Ye Wu Ya. Her grandfather, Ye Chun Feng, is the current head of the Luoyun Sect!" Lin Heng shouted loudly after taking another sip.

  "I had expected all of this!" Lin Feng nodded.

  Ye Wu Ya, Ye Chun Feng, who in the entire Luoyun Sect's sphere of influence doesn't know them?

  Father called Ye Zi as Big Sister, and also called Ye Zi's father as Young Master, combined with childhood memories, Lin Feng naturally knew these.

  "Liking a woman like that is impossible unless you become a true strongman!" Lin Heng's face turned solemn, and he said in a deep voice.

  "Father, I will definitely become a true strongman!" Lin Feng's eyes shone brightly, clenching his fists tightly, with an unshakeable determination.

  Looking at his confident son, Lin Heng sighed inwardly and poured himself another glass of wine, downing it in one gulp.

  The favor of the young mistress of Luoyun Sect is not so easily obtained.

  "Father, you once saved her father's life back then! I've never heard you mention this before!" Lin Feng said as he poured wine.

  "That was a long time ago!" Lin Heng said with a bitter smile.

  Seeing Lin Feng's curious expression, Lin Heng said: "It was just a very ordinary thing. Fourteen years ago, I was a ten husband in the Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry. A new soldier came under my command, named Ye Wuya. That was Ye Zi's father, but at that time I didn't know his identity."

  "In a battle against the Kunlun Sect, I took a sword for Ye Wuyue and got seriously injured. This is an extremely ordinary thing for me. We are brothers in the same sect, so I naturally couldn't just watch him get killed."

  "The Young Master of the Luoyun Sect encountered danger, which was a big deal. After this incident, Ye Wuyue was taken away by the Sect Master Ye Chunfeng, and it wasn't until then that I learned his identity. It turned out he was the Young Master of the Luoyun Sect, who had come to the army for trial."

  "This was an ordinary thing for me, but the young master was very grateful to me. The master also greatly rewarded me. I was also promoted to be a hundred-man commander because of this matter."

  Lin Heng looked at Lin Feng and sighed, "Not only that, but your mother was pregnant at the time. The young master came to see me and suddenly had an idea, saying he had a one-and-a-half-year-old daughter, and if your mother gave birth to a boy, he wanted to make a marriage arrangement with me!"

  Lin Feng's heart also skipped a beat when he heard this!

  Lin Heng looked at Lin Feng deeply and continued: "The difference in our identities is too great, I naturally wouldn't agree. But the young master insisted, and under duress, I reluctantly agreed! At the time, I thought that perhaps the young master would regret it later, so I didn't take it seriously."

  "Half a year later, your mother gave birth to you. The young master still solemnly sent over the name plaque and eight characters of his daughter's birthday. This young master was also a youthful heart at that time, really reckless!"

  Lin Feng heard this and a hint of light appeared in his eyes: "So that means..."

  Lin Heng drank a cup of hot wine and said lightly, "In other words, nominally speaking, you and Ye Zi still have an engagement. However, Feng Er, don't take this kind of thing seriously."

  Lin Feng nodded silently for a moment, after all, he had seen the cold and warmth of human relationships and naturally understood the reason behind his father's words. Now bringing up this marriage proposal was just humiliating himself!

  However, after all, it's an engagement... Lin Feng rubbed his forehead, and there was still a hint of coolness and moisture, and the corners of his mouth also showed a faint smile.

  "Father, what about those things?" Lin Feng asked.

  Lin Heng smiled wryly and shook his head, reached into his bosom and took out a small wooden box, handing it to Lin Feng.

  Lin Feng took it over, opened the wooden box, and inside was a red paper with gold foil, on which was written in black ink: "Ye Zi was born on October 13th of the year Wuyin at 3 o'clock."

  Lin Feng closed the wooden box and looked at Lin Heng: "Father..."

  Lin Heng smiled wryly and waved his hand: "Maple, you take it! But don't take this thing too seriously."

  "Ah!" Lin Feng nodded and carefully put the wooden box into his bosom. The next moment, the wooden box had already entered the Jade Pendant space.

  Lin Feng's small face also showed a hint of a smile.

  After finishing a pot of wine, Lin Heng stood up and ordered: "Don't practice boxing tonight, go to bed early instead!"

  "Dad, I'm not sleepy yet." Lin Feng said.

  At this time, he had an unprecedented desire to enhance his own strength!

  Only with enough strength can one have the qualification to stand in front of her and qualify to protect her.

  Even if I were to gain her favor, it would be useless without sufficient power. After all, she is the young mistress of the Luoyun Sect...

  "Stop practicing for today, rest and recharge your spirit. Tomorrow, follow me into the mountains!" Lin Heng waved his hand and said, "Since you like that girl, you must be strong enough yourself! Starting tomorrow, I'll teach you the true Tiger Fist!"

  ……

  The moonlight shines through the window lattice and spills onto Lin Feng's small bed. Lin Feng lies on the bed, tossing and turning, but can't fall asleep no matter what.

  "Ye Zi, I will definitely be strong enough, definitely!" Lin Feng looked at the crescent moon and clenched his fists tightly.

  That crescent moon seemed to have transformed into a serene and gentle girl like a clear lotus, smiling softly at him...

  ……
