"Thank you for the reminder, Brother Lin," Bai Feng said with a nod. "But you should be careful too; after all, it seems you're the only one here who's reached the peak of Foundation Establishment."

Lin Yan waved his hand with a smile. "Don't worry about me; I'm prepared!"

Bai Feng nodded in agreement. After all, he was the Child of Destiny. Even if he were to die, the Child of Destiny might still survive.

"By the way, where's Brother Luo?"

"He's probably talking to someone from Zixiao Peak. Recently, Brother Luo has been complaining to me about how those people have been bothering him for no reason."

Lin Yan casually pointed, and Bai Feng followed his gaze to see Luo Chen's junior sister and senior sister blocking him, seemingly engaged in conversation.

However, unlike before, the roles seemed to have reversed. Luo Chen wore an impatient expression, while his senior sister spoke softly, almost submissively.

"Brother Lin, should we get a bit closer to eavesdrop?"

A mischievous smile crept onto Bai Feng's lips; he loved this kind of gossip!

Lin Yan hesitated. "Is that... appropriate?"

"What's inappropriate about it? Maybe Brother Luo is waiting for us to help him out!"

With that, Bai Feng placed a hand on Lin Yan's shoulder and dragged him closer to Luo Chen.

After a few steps, he noticed Su Lanqian following them and quickly raised a hand to stop her. "You wait here for a moment; I'll be right back."

"Oh..."

Su Lanqian nodded obediently and stopped in her tracks.

Lin Yan's expression turned a bit strange—wasn't this girl supposed to be proud and arrogant? What did Bai Feng do to make her so compliant?

...

"Senior Sister, didn't you want me to keep my distance? I've done that, so why can't you just leave me alone?"

Luo Chen's face was devoid of expression, while his senior sister looked awkward.

She lowered her head and explained in a small voice, "I didn't mean it that way. I was just... a bit flustered at the time. Why did you have to take the junior brother's elixir? If you just apologize, it would be fine..."

"Got it."

His senior sister suddenly looked up, a hint of surprise in her eyes. "So, you agree?"

"No, I'm going to apply to withdraw from Zixiao Peak when I get back." Luo Chen didn't even glance at her as he turned to leave. "This is the last time I'm calling you 'Senior Sister.' Please go back; otherwise, your beloved junior brother will throw a fit when he finds out you came to see me."

"Junior Brother, you..."

His senior sister's face showed disbelief, while the junior sister beside her quickly grabbed his arm. "Brother, how can you say that!"

"Let go."

"I won't—"

"...A bunch of crazy women."

Luo Chen muttered under his breath, but his words reached their ears, making their faces flush with embarrassment and anger.

"Get lost!" He unleashed his spiritual energy, sending the junior sister flying aside. He shot a cold glance at the two of them. "Before questioning me, why don't you think about what you've done? Do I look like someone who needs a Foundation Establishment elixir?"

"Brother, you're still jealous, aren't you..."

Luo Chen looked at the mumbling junior sister and sighed. "Sigh, sorry, I actually hoped you could communicate. I was wrong."

"From today on, you have nothing to do with me."

As he severed the last ties with Zixiao Peak, the sword at his waist let out a long, metallic hum, and his aura seemed to rise to another level.

At that moment, the junior sister remembered that Luo Chen had switched to the Heartless Sword style.

"No, Brother, I didn't..."

The junior sister's tone was flustered, but Luo Chen had already walked far away.

"Junior Sister, stop talking. Let's go back," the senior sister sighed, her face darkened. She shook her head and pulled the junior sister, who wanted to chase after him, away.

She pondered in her heart when they had started treating Junior Brother Luo this way.

...

"Is that it?"

Bai Feng clicked his tongue. It was clear that disciples raised in the sect could remain calm even when faced with unreasonable troublemakers.

"I didn't expect Brother Luo to have such experiences."

"Huh? You didn't know?" Bai Feng turned to Lin Yan, surprised. They called each other brothers, yet it felt like they hardly knew each other.

Lin Yan was curious. "What do you know?"

So, Bai Feng shared what he knew with Lin Yan.

"What the hell! What kind of ridiculous senior sister and junior sister are they? Why didn't Brother Luo just slap them a couple of times? How can they still have the face to approach him?"

Lin Yan's mouth began to spew colorful language.

"What are you two doing here?"

A voice came from behind them, and Lin Yan, who had been venting, suddenly fell silent, his face turning awkward. Bai Feng turned to see Luo Chen approaching.

"We're just here to... take a dump."

Lin Yan: "?"

Luo Chen clearly didn't believe Bai Feng's clumsy excuse. He sighed. "Sorry for making you laugh."

"Not at all." Lin Yan suddenly stood up, placing a hand on Luo Chen's shoulder. "Brother Luo, this matter can't just end like this. If you can't bear to do it, let me handle it."

"This..."

"Don't worry, I'm not going to ruin them; I just want them to see a bit of reality and accept a little societal beatdown. It's for their own good!"

Watching Lin Yan and Luo Chen start to chat, Bai Feng couldn't help but mourn for Zixiao Peak for 0.01 seconds.

To think they could attract the attention of two Children of Destiny—what a fate they had!

Chapter 56: One Use, One Silence

After finishing up with Luo Chen's drama, it was finally time for the secret realm to open.

Bai Feng followed at the back of the group, walking toward the entrance of the secret realm alongside the disciples of Tianjian Sect.

As he stepped through the entrance, he felt a dizzying sensation, as if gravity had gone haywire. When he opened his eyes, he found himself standing in a desolate ruin.

However, this ruin wasn't a grand structure but rather a collection of ordinary houses made of wood, mud, and stone.

"Looks like I've separated from the others."

Bai Feng surveyed his surroundings, feeling unsurprised.

Such abandoned secret realms were often unstable, and it was common to be teleported to strange places upon entry.

"Let's explore a bit."

Bai Feng casually chose a direction and stepped over the collapsed houses.

Meanwhile, a pure-looking girl glanced around. Dressed in the robes of Feihe Sect, a small sect located near the secret realm, she wore a smile that was oddly seductive for someone with her innocent appearance. "I actually made it in. It seems the righteous sects aren't all that impressive."

"Bai Feng, I'm here to find you again. I hope you still remember me~"

...

"This area has a rich concentration of spiritual energy; there must be some treasures here."

With his Yin-Yang pattern activated, searching for treasures in the secret realm felt like having x-ray vision. In just a short hour, he had gathered a pile of spiritual herbs, spirit stones, and several formation plates.

He hurried into a cave and discovered a massive bear residing inside. As he stepped into the cave, the bear instantly opened its eyes and stared at him.

"Hey there, let me see what you've been guarding."

Bai Feng showed no fear as he stepped around the giant bear, weaving through the narrow cave.

The bear seemed oblivious to his presence, its gaze fixed on the cave entrance, occasionally letting out threatening growls.

"Is that a Bai Ling Shen? Lucky me."

And it was of high quality, perfect for refining recovery elixirs.

Bai Feng carefully placed the Bai Ling Shen into a wooden box and then turned to the bear, waving his hand. "Thanks! You can keep sleeping; I won't disturb you."

With that, he quickly left the cave, while the bear continued to stare at the entrance.

Only after Bai Feng had completely walked away did it tilt its head, looking somewhat puzzled. Then it turned back to the cave, where the Bai Ling Shen had been taken, leaving only a small pit. Yet, it didn't rage; instead, it turned around and went back to sleep.

"Illusions are really useful."

Especially against mindless spirit beasts; they were practically silent when used.

Bai Feng's eyes flashed with black and white light. He had only thought of this while battling a Golden Core beast, but it turned out to be unexpectedly effective.

He even considered learning how to use it more skillfully.

Just as Bai Feng was contemplating where to go next, a group of people suddenly surrounded him.

"Hey there, little brother, are you alone?"

The leader was a burly man with a friendly face and a concerned tone, but judging by his clothes, he was likely from Lianshen Sect.

Bai Feng glanced at the other approaching disciples of Lianshen Sect, and instead of showing fear, he smiled at them. "Robbing me, are you?"
