Strongest Medical Saint-Chapter 700 Incoherent Speech
As they approached the Condensing Immortal Pavilion,
Zou Bocheng, feeling uneasy, spoke again, "You mustn’t act rashly. I’m aware of your fighting prowess, but you’re definitely no match for a Condensing Immortal Stage expert."
Shen Feng couldn’t help but bitterly smile at Zou Bocheng’s repeated admonitions.
Zou Bocheng stopped about ten meters away from Lu Xiangfu and the others. In his view, getting any closer before stopping would be disrespectful to a Condensing Immortal Stage expert.
Moreover, he now considered himself a part of the Lu Family. He had met Lu Xiangfu once before and felt that this senior was very approachable, even giving him some guidance in cultivation.
After that guidance, Zou Bocheng solved a problem he encountered in his cultivation, and he had been looking forward to meeting Lu Xiangfu again.
However, now was not the time to seek Lu Xiangfu’s advice. Although he knew Shen Feng was like a ticking time bomb, since he had said he would help Shen Feng, he would naturally keep his word.
Lu Xiangfu, Lu Wansheng, Feng Lianghai, and the others, upon seeing Shen Feng from a distance of about ten meters, controlled their surging emotions and did not dare to rashly rush over. Instead, they took extremely polite and respectful steps, their faces a picture of meticulous reverence.
Lu Gaochuan and Lu Dongyan walked a bit faster. Originally, they were at the back of the group, but as they almost surpassed Lu Yixiang and Lu Yuanhong, they were impatient to kowtow and pay their respects to Shen Feng, knowing that their old man had received a Thousand Longevity Pill, which filled them with envy.
Lu Yixiang and Lu Yuanhong abruptly stopped their sons, and Lu Yixiang admonished, "What kind of conduct is this rush? Have you forgotten how to walk properly?"
Lu Yuanhong also immediately scolded, "If you can’t learn to walk properly, you’d better roll back to the Lu Family. Don’t embarrass us here!"
In the meantime,
Lu Yixiang and Lu Yuanhong continued walking without halting their steps, always maintaining a ceremonious gait with extremely serious expressions on their faces. They couldn’t allow any frivolity, as Shen Feng was someone they respected immensely; of course, they wouldn’t tolerate such impudence from their sons!
Lu Gaochuan and Lu Dongyan lowered their heads and slowed down, not daring to be so hasty.
Zou Bocheng, Lu Tingting, and Lu Jinghua, upon witnessing this scene, felt even more puzzled. freёwebnoѵel.com
Especially Lu Tingting and Lu Jinghua, who couldn’t understand why their grandfather would scold their fathers. Furthermore, the way Lu Xiangfu and Lu Wansheng were walking, it was as if they were in a palace, ministers approaching the Emperor to report on matters. What was going on?
As Lu Wansheng and the others were fixated on Zou Bocheng, Lu Tingting and Lu Jinghua began to wonder if Zou Bocheng had been the one to bring them back safely and if this was Lu Xiangfu’s way of showing gratitude.
But then,
Lu Tingting and Lu Jinghua found this guess absurd.
Facing the reverent behavior of Lu Xiangfu and the others, Shen Feng, who stood behind Zou Bocheng, helplessly shook his head. Really, he couldn’t deal with these people—couldn’t they act normally for once?
As Lu Xiangfu and Lu Wansheng got closer, the perplexed Zou Bocheng stepped forward to greet them, and said respectfully to Lu Xiangfu, "Senior Lu, I have already sent a message to the Lu Family about the young man behind me, please..."
Before he could finish, Lu Xiangfu waved his hand and said, "Rest assured, I have a clear idea about this matter."
Having said that, he walked right by Zou Bocheng.
Lu Wansheng, Feng Lianghai, and the others also passed one by one, showing no desire to exchange pleasantries with Zou Bocheng and his group.
Finally,
Lu Xiangfu was the first to reach Shen Feng and, just as he was about to kneel, Shen Feng said indifferently, "If you persist in this needless kneeling and kowtowing, I will immediately turn around and leave."
Upon hearing these words,
Zou Bocheng, Lu Tingting, and Lu Jinghua’s expressions changed abruptly. Although they still didn’t know why people like Lu Xiangfu were acting this way, Shen Feng’s statement was clearly mocking them!
How could a mighty Condensing Immortal Stage expert kneel before Shen Feng? Just as Zou Bocheng and the others were about to try to explain for Shen Feng,
Lu Xiangfu bowed deeply with the utmost respect, his face bitter as he said, "Mentor, we just wanted to express our respect for you. Ever since you left last time, I’ve been searching for you!"
"Old Ancestor!"
"Old Ancestor!"
...
After Lu Xiangfu spoke, those behind him, including Lu Wansheng and Lu Guangwen, began to respectfully call out to Shen Feng. Feng Lianghai, too, shamelessly called out "Old Ancestor." In theory, even after joining the Lu Family, he wasn’t a direct member and didn’t need to address Shen Feng as the Old Ancestor.
Lu Gaochuan and Lu Dongyan, standing at the very back, hastened to Shen Feng’s presence. This was the legendary Carefree Immortal Emperor before them! They dared not even breathe heavily, simply bowing continuously to express their profound respect toward Shen Feng.
When Zou Bocheng, Lu Tingting, and Lu Jinghua heard Lu Xiangfu call Shen Feng "Mentor," they were like statues, rooted to the spot, their minds in turmoil, devoid of the capacity for independent thought.
Why would Lu Xiangfu refer to Shen Feng as his mentor?
Why would Lu Wansheng, Feng Lianghai, and all these people respectfully address Shen Feng as Old Ancestor?
Previously, he had anticipated all kinds of possible scenarios, and Zou Bocheng had even prepared some arguments to help Shen Feng. But this utterly unexpected turn of events made him feel as if he were dreaming.
Shen Feng glanced at the dumbstruck Zou Bocheng and others. He was going to leave the Lower Realm after passing the Dragon Leap Gate anyway, so it didn’t matter if they knew his identity. He said to Lu Xiangfu and the others, "Explain to them!"
Before Lu Xiangfu could answer, Lu Wansheng hurriedly started explaining, seizing the opportunity to flatter.
This earned Lu Wansheng a fierce glare from Lu Xiangfu.
As Lu Wansheng slowly narrated,
Zou Bocheng, Lu Tingting, and Lu Jinghua’s eyes grew wider and wider. They could never have imagined that the youth who had spent several days with them was, in fact, the legendary Carefree Immortal Emperor?
And there was such a connection between the Shen Family and the Carefree Immortal Emperor?
Hearing that the former Old Ancestor of the Illusory Flame Kingdom had actually been killed by Shen Feng, the breathing of Zou Bocheng and Lu Tingting became more and more frantic.
Zou Bocheng was the first to snap out of it. With a "thud," he hastily knelt before Shen Feng and stuttered, "Sen, Senior, I, I didn’t know you were the Carefree Immortal Emperor. Please, please forgive my earlier rudeness."
"You, you have always been the person I admire the most, I’m not, I mean, toward you, I..."
Zou Bocheng was completely incoherent.
His storage ring flashed, and immediately, hundreds of ancient books appeared. He tried to calm himself down, saying, "I’ve collected every book about you, even those that only mention you briefly."
"The reason I took Tingting as my disciple was first because she truly has a kind heart, and second because, like me, she holds utmost admiration for you, Carefree Immortal Emperor."
"It’s just that I’ve never told Tingting I’ve been an admirer of the Carefree Immortal Emperor since I was young."
