In the blink of an eye, more than half a year has passed. Yun Feng spent over six months in the area of Hao Yue Temple, investigating only half of the region, from every tiny corner to every city. Yun Feng did not let any place go unchecked. The difficulty of finding the Cloud family's branch was quite high. Yun Feng didn't know if other branches had changed their names or kept their original surname. If they had kept their original surname, it would have been easier to find them. However, after six months of investigation, Yun Feng did not encounter a single person with the surname "Yun". It seemed that if there really was a Cloud family branch on the Western Continent, they must be hiding under an assumed name.

  This undoubtedly increased the difficulty, and it can be said that Yun Feng knew nothing except that there was a branch of the Yun family on the Western Continent. The vast territory of the Western Continent, its broad area, Yun Feng really had to search at this speed, and in less than ten years, he might not have enough time.

  Despite this, Yun Feng never gave up on the idea of searching. After four and a half years, at the Summoner Exchange Conference, if she still had nothing to show for it, she could only investigate through that disputed seat privilege.

  For half a year, Uncle Xian had been following Yun Feng wherever he went, wandering aimlessly with him. During this time, Uncle Xian always seemed nonchalant, with an expression that said "I'm just a bystander". But one day, after his Transmission Jade Pendant rang a few times, Uncle Xian's expression suddenly changed. He hastily instructed Yun Feng for a few sentences before turning around and leaving.

  Uncle Zhan walked swiftly and neatly, it was clear that the situation was urgent. Yun Feng didn't even have time to ask what had happened, but subconsciously thought that even if he asked, Uncle Zhan wouldn't say anything.

  Yun Feng had thought about Zhan's identity background more than once. As a high-ranking member of the Eastern Continent Mercenary Guild, Zhan's identity was not that simple. Someone who could move freely in the Western Continent and force the Three Halls to give him some face must have a true identity worth investigating.

  Yun Feng never mentioned anything about himself, but Yun Feng knew that Uncle Zhan treated him well. However, Uncle Zhan also had things he needed to hide, just like her. In these six months of aimless searching, Uncle Zhan didn't know what Yun Feng was doing, yet he still accompanied Yun Feng for half a year without asking any questions, showing his genuine care and love for Yun Feng.

  After Uncle Zhan left, Yun Feng suddenly felt a bit lonely. For more than half a year, every day there would be a middle-aged man entwining himself, making him call him "old dad", and from time to time, a big hand would rub his hair, messing it up, and the sound of Zhan Li's low and clear laughter would come over. As soon as Zhan Li left, the atmosphere became somewhat cold and quiet.

  However, this quiet atmosphere didn't last long and was replaced by another kind of war. The young man who followed Yun Feng back then still follows her today. At first, they agreed to travel together for a while, but Yun Feng really didn't expect that this period of time would actually be half a year.

  That young man was called Yan Chen, and as a dark system mage, he seemed to be a bit scatterbrained. Logically speaking, the dark element should give people a sense of astonishment, but Yan Chen's feeling was more like Qu Lanyi's light element personality.

  Two people who have been at odds with each other for more than half a year, Qu Lan and Yan Chen really can't stand the sight of each other, and it's rare if they don't fight several times a day. Of course, their daily clashes are also inevitable, Yun Feng and the few magic beasts have long since gotten used to it, let them fight if they want to.

  At this moment, a group of people were resting in the suburbs outside the city. After moving forward for a while, they arrived at the next city, Yuan Shui City. This city is considered a second-tier city within the area of the Hao Yue Temple, although it can't compare to the prosperity of a first-tier city, Yuan Shui City is still a fairly large city. Although this city is only second-rate, strange and unusual things often appear here.

  Yun Sheng and Mu Xiao Jin's baby should be born in three or four months, Mu Xiao Jin's belly has grown bigger, everything is going smoothly. Yun Feng's mood is also stirred up by this unborn little life, although the child has not been born yet, Yun Feng has already given the best things to this child. Whether it's a nephew or niece, this child must have the best.

  Yun Feng was already thinking about what kind of big gift to prepare. Due to the system on the Eastern Continent, this child would likely become a warrior, but Yun Xiang and Mu Xiao Jin were both mages, so it's possible that this child might have inherited magical genes too, if they became a summoner that would be even better...

  Yun Feng patted the clothes on his body, stood up. Yao Yao pulled Yun Feng's small hand and smiled at Yun Feng, Yun Feng looked at the tall city wall not far away, maybe he could find something good inside Yuan Shui City.

  The little fire slowly opened its big mouth, let out a yawn, and seemed to be somewhat sleepy. "Ah... how boring... I wonder what that silly girl is up to..."

  Yun Feng smiled, Xia Qing had been practicing in the Dragon Temple all along, and that child was also working hard, never stopping. Half a year had passed, and her strength had probably risen rapidly, she wouldn't be released until she reached the Unity level, it just depended on whether this little guy could reach this stage soon.

  Lan Yi smiled on one side, "Is Huo brother worried about Qingqing or has he missed her for a long time since they haven't seen each other?"

  The little fire was stretching its wolf body, and it suddenly froze there. The originally fierce-looking Huoyun Wolf seemed a bit embarrassed. Lan Yi pursed her lips and didn't make another sound. Xiao Huo let out a low growl, somewhat annoyed: "Who's thinking of her? Who would think of that stupid girl?"

  Yun Feng chuckled and stroked Xiao Huo's head, also pinching the soft and adorable wolf ears. Xiao Huo's ears moved back, and Yun Feng's fingers accurately pinched again, sensing that a certain wolf was indeed shy.

  "Pervert!" A shout, a black shadow flashed behind Yun Feng and several others, it was Yan Chen's voice. "Fake man!" This was an angry roar, it was Qu Lan Yi's voice, another black shadow flashed by.

  The two elements of light and darkness converged behind Yun Feng, striking each other in a chaotic dance. Yun Feng lazily turned his head, gazing at the two people who couldn't go a day without fighting, and helplessly curled up the corners of his mouth.

  "An enemy." A low comment, Yun Feng didn't care about the two of them, and pulled Yao Yao's small hand to continue walking forward. Xiao Huo and Lan Yi both stifled a laugh and followed behind Yun Feng, continuing on their way.

  "Despicable!" A sudden roar burst out, Yun Feng's footsteps stopped, this was not Yan Chen and Qu Lan's voice, but another person's voice.

  Soon, a figure emerged from the city gate, running out in a somewhat disheveled and stumbling manner. The figure ran awkwardly, then heavily knelt on the ground, clenching both fists and pounding them into the earth, venting frustrations and wailing in a deserted corner.

  Yun Feng took a look at the person's attire, which was made of high-quality fabric with gold threads woven in. This person should be from a wealthy family. However, although the clothes were good, they looked somewhat tattered and worn out at this moment, as if he had been fighting with someone.

  Yun Feng slowly walked over, the big households were full of disputes, and this might be another child who was bullied in the family. Surviving in a large household is also very difficult, just like the Mu family. The purple lady calculated everything, not just to let her own children inherit the Mu family, even at the expense of poisoning the first wife and the two children she left behind.

  As he passed by the wretched man, the person kneeling on the ground sensed someone approaching and suddenly lifted his head. Yun Feng saw a very miserable face.

  He looked like he was only in his early twenties, but originally a face with regular features now had a nose that was blue and swollen, one side of his face was already severely swollen, there was an obvious bruise on his eye socket, his lips were also broken, with bloodstains. Adding to the disheveled state of his clothes, this person must have been in a fierce fight with someone else. Looking at those reddened eyes, he should be the one who lost.

  The young man suddenly looked up and saw Yun Feng, his expression stunned for a moment before flashing with embarrassment. After all, being seen by an outsider in such a miserable state was somewhat shameful. However, when the young man saw Xiao Huo standing beside Yun Feng, his mouth opened: "M-m-monster!" The young man's eyes unconsciously swept towards Yun Feng's fingers, seeing that they were empty, and suddenly burst out laughing, with an inexplicable tone of mockery in his voice.

  "Hmph... I knew it, how could you have such good luck to meet a summoner? Haha, turns out it's a fake one..." The young man's mocking mutter was heard clearly by Yun Feng, who raised an eyebrow slightly. Yun Feng didn't want to bother with this person. Xiao Huo and Lan Yi heard the words and couldn't help but feel annoyed - their master was a genuine summoner, yet was being called a fake! This also indirectly implied that they were useless!

  "Nah!" Meatball sat on Yun Feng's shoulder, calling out in discontent. It was because Yun Feng didn't like wearing the Contract Ring, and was often misunderstood by others. Yun Feng herself wasn't bothered, but her magical beasts all took offense for her.

  "Open your dog eyes and take a good look!" Xiao Huo growled, while Lin Yi's face completely fell on the side. The young man was taken aback by these words, looked up and took another careful look at Yun Feng. Yun Feng smiled faintly, turned around and was about to walk away.

  "Wait, wait a minute!" The young man shouted suddenly, Yun Feng stopped in his tracks, "Something's up?"

  The young man hastily got up from the ground, his eyes uncertainly looking at Yun Feng, "Y-you're really... a Summoner?"

  Yun Feng glanced at the young man and said nothing. Whether she was a summoner or not had nothing to do with him, so there was no need for her to answer. Yun Feng ignored the young man and continued walking forward. The young man saw Yun Feng's attitude and his heart skipped a beat - perhaps he really had met... a Summoner!

  "Wait! Wait!" The young man suddenly chased a few steps, but fell to the ground again due to pain. Yun Feng heard his falling sound and didn't turn back, at this time Qu Lan Yi and Yan Chen also caught up, both of them saw the young man with curiosity in their eyes.

  "Xiao Feng, is this man going to follow you again?" Qu Lan Yi glanced at the man who was struggling to get up from the ground, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. This man was quite disheveled.

  "Who are you talking about, you dead ghost?" Yan Chen yelled from the side, and with a flip of his palm, dark elemental energy slowly appeared. Yun Feng's eyes swept over, "You can fight if you want, but stay away from me."

  Yan Chen was taken aback by the cold intent in Yun Feng's eyes, and he moved his lips silently. The dark elements disappeared instantly, and he glared at Qu Lan with hatred, then looked at this person with a tragic face.

  "Hey! You've been beaten up, haven't you? This is really miserable..." Yan Cheng said a sentence, this person's personality is a bit careless, speaking as if he didn't think before opening his mouth. Normal people would not rub salt in the wound when they see this person's wretched appearance, but Yan Cheng spoke out loudly.

  The young man who had just stood up from the ground looked very embarrassed, his face was also red. Yun Feng glanced at Yan Chen coldly, and Yan Chen shut his mouth and stopped talking.

  "Let's go," Yun Feng said and continued walking forward. The young man who had just stood up couldn't help but feel a bit anxious, his palms clenched tightly together, "Wait!"

  Yun Feng's footsteps stopped, and she slightly turned her body around, her beautiful face expressionless. The young man saw Yun Feng stop and his expression changed to one of joy, wanting to rush up but instead fell to the ground again in a sorry state. Yan Chen saw this scene and laughed, then covered her own mouth indicating that she wouldn't make another sound.

  The young man's face turned red with embarrassment as he knelt on the ground, his strong sense of self-respect evident. Perhaps because he no longer had the strength to stand up, the young man remained kneeling on the ground, "Help me, please help me."

  Yun Feng raised an eyebrow, "Help you? Why should I help you?"

  The young man gritted his teeth and rummaged through the tattered clothes for a long time, finally pulling out a delicate small porcelain bottle. The young man seemed to have made up his mind, stretched out the bottle in his hand, "This is Body Refining Elixir! It's something everyone wants!"

  Yun Feng was taken aback, Qu Lan Yi and Yan Che also both were taken aback. Yan Che blinked his eyes fiercely on the side, "Refining Body Source Liquid! That's a precious thing that can change one's innate bones, even in Western Continent, not many people would have it, how did you get it?"

  Yun Feng was also shocked in his heart, the Body Refining Elixir, this thing is somewhat similar to the Life Cultivation Array. The Life Cultivation Array can forcibly change the physical quality of humans, but it carries a great risk. However, the Body Refining Elixir is different, it can nourish the root bones of humans, whether they are warriors, mages or summoners, this elixir will stabilize their foundation, making cultivation twice as effective! It can be said that anyone who has undergone the baptism of the Body Refining Elixir will have a cultivation speed that is several times faster than others! However, this elixir has a drawback, it only works on bodies without any cultivation qualifications. In other words, the Body Refining Elixir only works for newborn life, and can only take effect at the moment of birth!

  It's only natural that any family would want this, after all, the continuation of a family still relies on the power of blood. Only by having the next generation thrive and grow stronger without stopping can a family always stand at the pinnacle of invincibility!

  However, the Refining Body Elixir is extremely rare. It's said that many strange and precious medicinal materials are needed to manufacture it, and the person manufacturing it must have extremely high skills. Moreover, the success rate is only 10%!

  It's not surprising that Yan Zhen is surprised, even Yun Feng didn't expect it. The Body Refining Elixir actually appeared in this person's hands! Seeing Yun Feng's slightly shocked expression, the young man chuckled and put the porcelain bottle back into his bosom, "Want it? If you want it, then help me!"

  Yun Feng's eyes sank, and the elixir of body refinement was undoubtedly the best gift for his brother's child! If that child could receive the nourishment of the elixir from birth, it would be a great blessing! No matter what profession they would have in the future, they would be far ahead of others! His brother's child, also the bloodline of the Yun family, this elixir was naturally something to be obtained!

  "What can I do to help you?" Yun Feng's calm words made the young man's eyes suddenly brighten, and his body also trembled slightly. Although he was excited, the young man still maintained a certain degree of rationality.

  "Are you really a summoner?"

  Yun Feng smiled, and casually pulled out a dark red ring. The young man's expression became even more agitated, but his words still carried doubt, "A beast tamer would also have a ring..."

  Yun Feng chuckled, unexpectedly this person's thoughts were very meticulous, everything was so careful. Xiao Huo yelled impatiently, his wolf-like mouth opened wide, and a fireball with an exceptionally high concentration of fire elements appeared from his mouth, shooting forward like a high-speed railgun. In an instant, all that could be heard was "Boom...", a row of trees fell to the ground in a magnificent manner, and the smell of charred wood also wafted out.

  "Are you sure the beast master's mounts are all rideable?" Yun Feng's face was filled with a smile. The young man nodded vigorously, and Yun Feng's eyes suddenly turned cold, "I hope your Body Refining Elixir is real too."

  The young man's expression tightened, "Don't worry about this, I don't have the guts to cheat a summoner."

  Yun Feng nodded in satisfaction, looking at the young man's bruised face with some sympathy. Qu Lan Yi, who was standing aside, saw through Yun Feng's thoughts and immediately wrapped the light element around the young man's body. In a moment, the bruises on his face disappeared, revealing a handsome face.

  "Light Elemental Mage!" The young man felt his body suddenly free from all pain, and he jumped up from the ground. Yan Lie by the side snorted in discontent, "Hmph! What's so great about being a Light Elemental?"

  Yun Feng looked at the young man and said, "Alright, you tell me, how can I help you with this?"

  The young man's expression suddenly turned cold, his face shrouded in a large dark cloud, his features slightly distorted, his fists clenched and hanging at his sides, the veins on the back of his hands bulging.

  "Help me take the master's seat!" The young man's low voice came. Yun Feng smiled, with a hint of coldness at the corner of his lips, "Your appetite is not small."

  The young man let out a wry smile, his laughter tinged with some helplessness. "Some things are forced upon you. To survive, to no longer be trampled underfoot by others, I have to pull others down and climb up to that position where no one can bully me!"

  "Are you asking me to help you eliminate all the obstacles?" Yun Feng asked lightly. The young man's body trembled slightly, and finally shook his head, "No, I want to openly and fairly sit in that position! I want everyone to see that I am qualified!"

  "What do you want me to help with?" Yun Feng asked with a smile. The young man raised his head, and his eyes shone with a fierce light, "Be my fiancée!"

  "What!" Qu Lan Yi suddenly let out a low shout, his black eyes scanning the surroundings with a cold glint. Yan Chen, who was standing beside him, was also taken aback for a moment before bursting into loud laughter. Yun Feng was also startled by the young man's words.

  "Unmarried wife..." Yun Feng asked, the young man nodded, "Don't worry, this is just a pretence, it's only temporary! I only need an unmarried wife for the summoner. As long as I take the position of the family head, our relationship will be automatically dissolved!"

  Qū Lán Yī's face instantly turned black, he took a step forward, and with one hand, he grabbed the young man's collar, "You little brat, say that again?!"

  The young man was picked up by Qu Lanyi, and there was no fear on his face. "This is also the last resort. If it were a man, I would have thought of another way."

  "Hah... hahaha, hahaha!" Yan Zhen couldn't help but burst out laughing beside them. He had long known about the special relationship between Qu Lan and Yun Feng, but now that such a farce suddenly popped up, it was really quite ridiculous.

  "Anyone who is qualified to inherit the position of family head or become the family head is the person who can bring the greatest benefit to the family, this is an eternal truth." The young man said calmly. Indeed, take Yun Feng for example, although Yun Jing is the master of the Yun family, but now the mainstay of the Yun family is actually Yun Feng, it was Yun Feng who made the Yun family what it is today.

  "This is really a sharp remark......" Yan Chen finally managed to stop his laughter and nodded in agreement. Qu Lan stood there with a dark face, knowing that what he said was indeed true.

  "I want to sit in the master's seat and bring the greatest benefit to the family. There is an unmarried summoner, who can bring greater benefits than me?" The young man said here, with a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth, "What I want is for those people to kneel down and apologize, what I want is for those people to regret treating me that way!"

  The young man finished speaking and looked up at Qu Lanyi, "This title of fiancée is fake, I guarantee it. I also have self-awareness myself and won't overestimate my abilities."

  Qing Lanyi's lips moved slightly, and then he suddenly swung his fist out. The young man fell to the ground with a thud, clutching at the other side of his face, but didn't make a sound.

  "If you dare to have any ideas about her, don't blame me for being impolite!" Qu Lan Yi said with a superior tone, and the young man nodded. Yun Feng watched from the side with a hint of a smile in his eyes, knowing that Qu Lan Yi had allowed this to happen because he knew how much Yun Feng wanted that bottle of Body Refining Elixir, and Qu Lan Yi had made a compromise.

  "Don't worry about this, I've always been clear about what I want." The young man rubbed his cheek and stood up, with a self-mocking smile rising to the corners of his mouth. "Yan Ming, the illegitimate son of the Yan family, the number one family in Yuan Water City."

  Yun Feng was stunned, a bastard? No wonder he was bullied like this, no wonder he was so determined to take the position of the head of the family. In this world, bastards are not recognized, and it is even more impossible to be written into the family tree. It doesn't matter if you're born to a concubine, but you can't be a bastard. Once you become a bastard, you're doomed to be trampled on forever, unable to turn over.

  "Yun Feng." Yun Feng calmly reported his own name. Yan Ming smiled, "Knowing I'm a illegitimate child, you should have some emotions at least."

  Yun Feng chuckled and said, "A person can't choose his birth, but he can choose his own destiny. You're a bastard child, what does that have to do with you?"

  Yan Ming was taken aback, then burst out laughing. Qu Lan's brow furrowed slightly, while Yan Cheng nodded repeatedly beside him, "These words are absolutely right, we can't choose our birth, but we can choose our destiny from now on."

  "Now you are all Yan Ming's good friends, let's go." Yan Ming's face was still slightly swollen and his clothes were very tattered, but he had changed from the depressed look of just now, and a layer of glory covered him. Yun Feng saw this and thought that once this man got a boost, it was hard to say how far he could climb.

  Following Yan Ming into the city of Yuan Shui, this city also has a large population, and the streets are also very lively. When Yun Feng entered the gate of Yuan Shui City, he knew that the man's counterattack had already begun.

  "Yan, Yan……” The guards of Yuan Water City had a mocking expression when they saw Yan Ming, but when they saw Yun Feng following behind him, along with the little fire by Yun Feng's side, their expressions twisted. Yun Feng saw that Yan Ming's days in Yuan Water City were truly difficult, and it was no wonder he had accumulated so much resentment in his heart. Although he came from the first family of Yuan Water City, even the city guards dared to mock him. That he could live strongly until now already made people feel surprised.

  All the way forward, Yan Ming is estimated to be a celebrity in Yuan Shui City. Yuan Shui City seems to know no one and no one knows that when they see several strangers beside Yun Feng, private discussions start.

  "Isn't that Yan Ming's illegitimate son? Look at his tattered clothes, he must have been beaten by the Yan family again."

  "Hey, this is all normal, it's weird if you don't get hit! But what's the origin of these people, and there are even demons among them, could it be that there's a summoner?"

  "Summoner?! You mean Yan Ming, this illegitimate child, can also recognize a summoner? Don't be kidding me!"

  "Yeah yeah, at most he's just a beast tamer! Illegitimate child, what qualifications does he have to know the summoner? Don't be ridiculous!"

  These rumors started quietly, but later spread to the ears of many people without any scruples. Yun Feng looked at Yan Ming's expression, he didn't have a trace of anger, still with that expression, not changing in the slightest, as if the target pointed out by these contemptuous words was not him after all.

  They walked for a long time and suffered from criticism for a long time. Yun Feng and his party also thoroughly understood Yan Ming's treatment in Yuan Shui City, the object of public scorn and the best candidate to watch the show.

  "We're here." Yan Ming's somewhat suppressed voice sounded. At this moment, Yun Feng and the others stopped in front of a very distinctive large courtyard, which should be the Yan family's courtyard.

  Yan Ming took a deep breath, his hand slightly reaching out to Yun Feng's hand, slowly grasping it. Qu Lan's eyes sank instantly, her lips pursed tightly.

  Yun Feng's hand was grasped by an icy palm, which still had a slight tremble. Yun Feng raised an eyebrow and looked at Yan Ming, who pulled the corner of his mouth and pushed open the unremarkable small door in front of him. Just as he was about to lead Yun Feng inside, Yun Feng suddenly yanked back, pulling Yan Ming's body back. At the same time, a stick fell heavily from behind the door, but it missed its mark.

  "Bang..." The sound of the stick falling to the ground was loud, proving how much strength had been used by the person who swung it. If it wasn't for Yun Feng, Yan Ming's bones would have been fractured in several places.

  "Hey! The hybrid is back?" A smooth and airy voice appeared, two people slowly walked out of the door, seemingly having waited for a while. When their eyes fell on Yun Feng's body, they were slightly surprised, but when they saw Xiao Huo, their eyes widened suddenly, and then burst into loud laughter.

  "Haha! As expected, you're a mongrel!" With that, the stick in his hand swung down towards Yan Ming without warning. Yun Feng saw this and her black eyes narrowed suddenly, her palm shooting out to meet it. Since she had made a deal with Yan Ming and was now his so-called fiancée, she naturally couldn't let him be bullied!

  "What!" The person wielding the club was stunned, his full-force swing just being tightly grasped by a white and tender palm. Yun Feng's fingers were locked in a tight grip, with a slight twist!

  "Crack!"

  One end of the long stick has been crushed!
