Wooden debris fluttered lightly, the eyes of the man holding a long rod swept towards the girl in front of him. The girl's height only reached his chest, and the long rod in his hand was no ordinary rod, with six shiny crystal cores embedded on the other end! Six Crystal Weapon!

  The six-armed weapon was actually pinched off by one hand!

  Yun Feng casually tossed the broken part of the branch to the ground, and coldly glanced at the two people in front of him, "Yan Ming, aren't you going to introduce us?"

  The expressions on the faces of the two men suddenly became complicated. Could it be that this little girl was a friend of this bastard? How could this bastard have friends?

  "This is the two young masters of the Yan family, Yan Chong and Yan Yu."

  The two young men's eyebrows suddenly stood up, "Who are they! You bastard, how dare you bring outsiders into our home without permission!"

  Yan Ming's eyebrows twitched a few times, "Two young masters, I'm taking the side door of the Yan family, and returning to my own humble abode, not the Yan family."

  What a broken-down courtyard? Yun Feng looked at Yan Ming with curiosity, and the two young men burst out laughing upon hearing this. "Hmph! You're only worthy of staying in a place where even dogs don't want to defecate, don't dirty my family's place!" The two young men glared at Yun Feng and his group with raised eyebrows, turning their backs to leave. Meanwhile, the long stick that had been snapped was casually thrown to the ground. Liu Jing's weapon was broken and discarded, this Yan family is indeed a top-notch family in this city.

  "Come in." Yan Ming said in a low voice, leading Yun Feng and his group into this small side door. Yan Ming led Yun Feng and his group through twists and turns, walking up a quiet little path, while the other beautiful and magnificent courtyards of the Yan family were getting farther and farther away from them. It seemed that where Yan Ming lived was indeed as shabby as those two people had said earlier.

  As expected, when Yan Ming led Yun Feng and the others to a dilapidated house that was barely standing, Yan Ming stopped in his tracks. Qu Lan Yi and Yan Chen were shocked, with Yan Chen even voicing out loud, "There are still people living in such houses..."

  Yan Ming heard the disbelieving laughter, and led Yun Feng and others into the house. The furnishings inside were even simpler, all of them essential items, without any extra things.

  "Are you living here?" Yun Feng asked, Yan Ming chuckled and said, "As a bastard, being able to have a house to live in is already a great kindness from the Yan family. I shouldn't be complaining, I should feel lucky that I didn't end up on the streets, frozen or starved to death." Yan Ming's head slightly lowered, his expression shrouded in shadows, then suddenly lifted again, "Don't worry, someone will come looking for us soon. I brought you here just to say goodbye to this house."

  Yun Feng's eyes narrowed, "Isn't it, was that scene just now intentional on your part?"

  Yan Ming sneered, "Those two always use the same trick. I just pretended to be hit to avoid some trouble, although I got hurt quite badly each time. It also made them satisfied and they wouldn't bother me again. Those two fools thought I didn't know their intention, humph..."

  Qu Lan Yi and Yan Chen both looked at Yan Ming in surprise, while Xiao Huo and Lan Yi had a knowing expression. This man was indeed a mastermind, with such deep and calculating eyes, who could surpass him?

  "But don't worry, I won't take advantage of you, and our transaction will be completely genuine." Yan Ming smiled at Yun Feng, who also responded with a smile. "Taking advantage of me? It's not that easy."

  The eyes of the two people were both bright and clear, as if they had seen through each other's nature. Yun Feng's calculations were hidden, only appearing at specific times. However, Yan Ming was different, he seemed to have formed a kind of instinct, calculating every person, and only in this way could he survive. Otherwise, in such a Yan family, he would have been tortured to death long ago.

  A complex series of footsteps echoed in the distance, and Yan Ming seemed to have known all along, walking out slowly. Yun Feng gazed at Yan Ming's slender back, his dark eyes flashing, and also followed him out.

  This shabby place seems to have rarely welcomed so many people, a group of people walking from afar will fill this shabby courtyard. Yun Feng sized up the crowd, each and every one of them dressed in bright clothes, their facial expressions uniform, puzzled, surprised, disdainful.

  This group of people came here and said everything, everyone looked at Yun Feng's shoulder and side, now the only ones in beast form were Rouyu and Xiao Huo, naturally attracting everyone's attention.

  "Is he really a Summoner?!" A low murmur spread through the crowd as they began to discuss Yun Feng.

  "No ring...not very likely."

  "What's there to worry about? This mongrel can recognize a summoner!"

  One sentence made everyone feel a little awkward, Yan Ming was who, that was the illegitimate son of the Yan family! He was a hybrid! How could people like him know the summoner, and even be friends with the summoner? Moreover, how could they not know when the summoner arrived in this Yuan Water City?!

  Everyone came to a unanimous conclusion after some thought, the person in front of them was probably an imposter! If they were really summoners, they should be the first to know!

  The summoner has never been low-key, because such an identity is destined not to be low-key, and wherever they go, they will show off their contract ring with confidence, enjoying the benefits and treatment given by all parties. Everyone wants to fawn over the summoner, everyone wants to please them, this is already a kind of habitual understanding.

  However, Yun Feng was different from the others. She didn't like the Summoners who wore the Contract Ring. She might be the only one. Moreover, as a Summoner with such a noble status, being friends with a bastard child would not be believable to anyone. Who could believe that someone in a high position would lower themselves and befriend the lowest and most humble person?

  Yan Ming smiled with satisfaction at the current situation, slightly tilting his head to say to Yun Feng, "These are all children of the Yan family, quite numerous, aren't they?" His words carried a hint of mockery. Yun Feng swept a glance over the group before him, feeling a sense of solidarity in her heart.

  Yan's family head was indeed a brave man, with so many branches and leaves, he was truly not an ordinary person.

  "Mongrel! Do you have a share to speak here too?" A young man shouted, Yan Ming's face still had that smiling expression. Mongrel, this is an extremely derogatory term, but Yan Ming remained calm and composed, this title was nothing to him.

  "Get out of the way!" A burly man walked out, stretched out his hand and pushed Yan Ming to one side. Yan Ming's small body was almost thrown to the ground by this push, but Yun Feng quickly reached out and steadied him.

  "Are you a summoner?" The man's physique was exceptionally large, standing in front of Yun Feng, his shadow completely enveloping Yun Feng. Yun Feng supported Yan Ming with one hand and didn't lift her head, while the other hand suddenly swung out, the man who had originally wanted to speak, but in the next second, his body was smashed flying out!

  "Bang!" The slightly larger body heavily fell to the ground, others saw it and couldn't help but let out a low cry, several had already rushed up to check on the situation.

  Qū Lán Yī smiled and chuckled, Yán Chén also had a smiling expression, Yāo Yāo on the side always maintained a cold demeanor, Xiǎo Huǒ yawned boredly, Lán Yì shook her head helplessly on the side. Indeed, every master who has an eye for talent looks so easy to get along with?

  "Ha ha." Rou Qiu twisted his body on Yun Feng's shoulder, with a mocking expression. The people of the Yan family were furious, "You dare to attack the Yan family! Bastard, is this your idea? What a big nerve!"

  "I don't understand what he's saying at all, just tell Dad directly and beat him up until he's disabled and throw him out!"

  "He's still not crippled enough, he's a shame to us, might as well be dead! Living in this world is also a waste of life!"

  One after another, vicious words spewed out, Yan Ming stood by, his face unchanged, his heart detached, Yun Feng's black eyes scanned these malicious Yan family members. Whether or not he was a bastard child, didn't Yan Ming have the same blood flowing through his veins as the Yan family? Same roots, same pulse, why must they force him so much?

  "What are you looking at! This is the Yan family's internal affair!" Some people shouted as they were stared down by Yun Feng's gaze, Yun Feng coldly smiled.

  "I can't stand hearing dogs barking, and when I'm in a bad mood, these dogs disappear."

  "What kind of person are you! Daring to insult the Yan family! Don't think that just because you have a demon beast, you're a summoner! If you were a summoner, our Yan family would know!"

  A group of people glared at Yun Feng, but they only dared to be angry and not speak out, because the one who was thrown by Yun Feng earlier was still lying there and hadn't gotten up, seemingly unable to get up.

  "What's all the commotion about! Are you all just idle and have nothing better to do?!" A shrill shout came over, followed by several figures walking this way. Yan Ming couldn't help but sneer when he saw the newcomers, "I didn't expect that this broken-down place would become a treasure land now."

  "Oh no! My son! What's going on here? Who did this?" Another loud voice rang out, and the crowd of children parted to reveal five or six people walking over, led by a man with a square face who looked quite fierce.

  "Old master! Come and take a look!" A woman was kneeling beside the man lying on the ground, sobbing and wiping away tears. The man furrowed his brow fiercely, and as his gaze swept past the woman, she immediately fell silent. His gaze slowly scanned over the other children before finally landing on Yan Ming.

  "You've got a lot of nerve, bringing an outsider in and hurting your own brother." The woman standing beside the man said coldly, seemingly his legitimate wife.

  "Master, I said this child can't stay in the Yan family. Wouldn't it be better to let him fend for himself? Look at his temperament, how could he be Master's flesh and blood! Could that woman have had an affair with someone and given birth to him?"

  Yan Ming's face twitched violently, his usual calm expression frozen in an instant. The man's eyes suddenly swept over, and the woman who was about to speak suddenly shut her mouth.

  The man took a glance at Yun Feng, looked at the small fire and the meatball on Yun Feng's shoulder, "This is..." His voice was thick and majestic. Yun Feng smiled, "Is this the master of the Yan family?"

  The man nodded, "Exactly, I am Yan Tianhao."

  Yun Feng turned his head and looked at Yan Ming, "Don't you introduce my identity?"

  Yan Tianhao looked at Yan Ming with a thoughtful expression, and Yan Ming stepped forward. "Master of the Yan family, this is Yun Feng, my... fiancée." Yan Tianhao's eyebrows suddenly rose, and the women behind him also showed a slightly surprised look. Yan Ming continued, "As you can see, my fiancée is a summoner."

  Yan Tianhao's eyebrows arched even higher, not making a sound. His eyes were filled with skepticism, and those women also had a look of disdain on their faces. "Summoner? A magic beast is a summoner? Then I'll just go buy one too! I'm also a summoner!"

  Yun Feng suddenly burst out laughing, his black eyes gleaming as he raised an eyebrow. "Do I really look that easy to talk to?" With a flick of his wrist, the four-star certification badge of the Alliance appeared in his hand. Yun Feng slowly toyed with the badge, clearly hearing the sound of gasps and sensing the intense gazes from all directions, even Yan Ming himself looked utterly shocked.

  Four-star certification badge! Summoner's four-star certification badge, this person is not only a summoner but also an exceptionally powerful summoner!

  "Could it be... a fake?" someone whispered, and everyone's expression stiffened again. With Yun Feng's level of strength, how could she be Yan Ming's fiancée? Who would believe that?!

  Yun Feng let out a hearty laugh and suddenly soared into the air! "Xiao Huo." He called out in a low voice, and Xiao Huo also leapt up high into the air. The two figures halted mid-air, and Yan Tian Heng's face turned pale in an instant.

  Yun Feng's mouth corner was curved with a smile, the fire element in his palm had already appeared, and the bright fireball grew bigger and bigger. The crowd below looked up at him with their necks stretched out, their eyes wide with amazement... That was... that was fire magic!

  Xiao Huo's wolf-like mouth opened wide, and a low, mournful howl rose up. Amidst the stunned gazes of the crowd, the fireballs that had been gathering in Xiao Huo's mouth and Yun Feng's hand suddenly shot off in one direction - the Yan family's courtyard!

  "Hong......" A deafening explosion!

  "Ah!" A group of panicked and terrified voices rang out, and the entire Yan family was stunned! Yan Tianhao's face twisted a few times before opening his mouth with a somewhat gloomy tone, "Summoner, please spare our lives."

  Yun Feng stood in mid-air, narrowing his eyes as he gazed at the Yan family below, "Oh? No need for me to prove it again?"

  Yan Tianhao's face twitched, the Yan family's courtyard was destroyed, and further proof would render them homeless today! "Please spare our lives." Yan Tianhao muttered, Yun Feng and Xiao Huo descended from mid-air, everyone had lost their voices and didn't dare to question anything.

  "Yan Ming, why didn't you say such things earlier!" The woman who looked like the legitimate wife spoke up. Yan Ming replied, "Madam didn't give Yan Ming a chance to speak."

  "Oh dear, you child, all the Yan family members call her Madame, but she should be called Big Madam!" Another woman spoke up, and this remark was not ordinary.

  "It's all right, it's all right, you're also like this, living here without making a sound, we didn't know you've been having such a hard time for so long."

  Yan Ming stood there, still with that faint smile on his face. Yun Feng raised an eyebrow, these people were quite skilled at spouting nonsense. "Alright!" Yan Tian Hua suddenly waved his hand, "Now let's move back to the main residence of the Yan family, and as for these people..." Yan Tian Hua's eyes scanned uncertainly over Qu Lan Yi and Ye Chen, Yan Ming chuckled, "Naturally, they are friends of my fiancée, and also my good friends."

  Yan Tianhao's temples jumped fiercely a few times, he couldn't have imagined that this illegitimate child would have such great ability. The summoner's fiancée? The summoner's friend is also his good friend? If it's really like this, how could the Yan family treat Yan Ming so well all these years and still have a good ending?!

  "It seems that the Yan family is quite satisfied with you, what you said is correct, the master of the Yan family is still a person who can distinguish right from wrong." Yun Feng spoke lightly, and Yan Tianhao suddenly let out a sigh of relief in his heart. He didn't know how Yan Ming had spoken, but it seemed that this illegitimate child hadn't revealed anything, and perhaps there was still time to make amends! As long as they could win over this illegitimate child, wouldn't this summoner be a great help to the Yan family?!

  The tides have turned, and Yan Ming, the illegitimate son who was once discarded in a corner, ignored, and abused, suddenly became the center of attention. He couldn't help but move back to the main house of the Yan family, and overnight, everyone's attitude towards him underwent a drastic change.

  Those who came to apologize, those who asked about the cold and warmth, those who tried to get close to him, were countless. When this matter spread out of Yuan Water City, all the citizens were shocked, was Yan Ming's luck changing? Or did the Yan family contract a disease? Treating a private son like this? Later, even more explosive news came out, making everyone in Yuan Water City completely stunned, Yan Ming had an unmarried wife, and she was a summoner! Was this news a shocking joke, too fake?!

  Yan Ming had already left that dilapidated house, and as he said, that day was to bid farewell. Now Yan Ming can be said to be the object of envy, jealousy and hatred of all the children of the Yan family. As an illegitimate child, he enjoys extremely high treatment, which is already on par with or even better than other children in the Yan family!

  A spacious and bright courtyard, dignified clothes on his body, precious furniture and decorations, the place where Yan Ming lives now is like heaven and earth compared to before. At this moment, Yan Ming is sitting leisurely by the table, drinking a pot of freshly brewed tea, with mist rising gently.

  "As for status, you've got it all." Yun Feng sat beside him, looking at Yan Ming with a faint smile. Yan Ming chuckled and couldn't help but laugh, "Not enough, these are far from enough for me."

  Yun Feng raised an eyebrow, and this man's heart was not thinking of these things at all. What he wanted was the position of the Yan family head! "Can Yan Tianhao really hand over the position to you?" Qu Lan asked from the side, "Even if you have Xiao Fengfeng's help, Yan Tianhao is not a master who will change his mind easily."

  Yan Ming burst out laughing, "Brother Qu's words are quite right, Yan Tianhao won't be like the others in the Yan family. He can endure humiliation, so I must be even more enduring than him."

  "You are more like Yan Tianhao's son than others." Qu Lan's black eyes flashed, and he picked up the teacup to take a sip of tea. Yan Ming hooked his lips, "Maybe... after all, this body still has his blood in it."

  At the Yan family, when everyone's attitude towards Yan Ming changed, Yan Tianhao indeed didn't make any moves, just like usual, doing what he should do without making any special greetings to Yan Ming, his attitude remained unchanged, still ignoring him. It was only different with Yun Feng, but that was only due to fear of the Summoner.

  Yan Ming was not in a hurry, he was waiting to see who had more patience between him and Laozi. The rumors about Yun Feng and Yan Ming's relationship were spreading like wildfire in Yuan Water City, and the Yan family also acknowledged that this matter was true. The other children of the Yan family all ran to Yan Ming's side like they were crazy, calling him "brother" and "Mingdi", if not for what happened earlier, it would have been believable that Yan Ming was the core figure of the Yan family.

  Yan Ming still had the same demeanor, accepting these people's flattery and closeness with a poker face, but without any expression. This man was deep and impenetrable, Yun Feng secretly observed Yan Ming, after being tempered by the cruel life, he had already forged this man's mind into an invincible abyss, what exactly was hidden inside, no one knew.

  It turned out that Laozi was no match for his son after all. Yan Tianhao's patience seemed to have reached its limit. In a summons, Yan Ming was invited to the main hall of the Yan family, and Yun Feng naturally followed. Everyone else stayed behind. When Yun Feng followed Yan Ming into the main hall, he discovered that this summons was not ordinary. All the children and wives of the Yan family were present, and the atmosphere was very tense.

  "Here." Yan Tianhao sat in the main seat and said a sentence to Yan Ming, who nodded and found a place to sit down. Yun Feng sat on one side, this time she was also invited.

  Yan Tianhao saw that everyone was present, and with a wave of his hand, the doors to the main hall were closed. The atmosphere suddenly became tense for a few seconds before Yan Tianhao slowly began to speak. "You should all understand why I've gathered you here today. I've been in the position of head of the Yan family for nearly a decade now, and yet we still haven't selected the next master of the Yan family. I've observed and deliberated on this matter for a long time."

  The atmosphere on the scene had reached a tense point, and all of Yan's children were undoubtedly nervous, but only Yan Ming could still smile, with a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth from start to finish.

  "Any of the younger generation of the Yan family is qualified to sit in this position, and there's no need for those despicable thoughts. Your overall strength is roughly the same, with no one particularly outstanding or particularly incompetent. This is something I'm relatively relieved about."

  The children of the Yan family all breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, as everyone had an equal say and no one could take advantage of anyone else. This was a rare occurrence in large families.

  Yan Tianhao finished speaking, fell silent for a few seconds, and then spoke in a low voice, "There is only one person who can inherit the position of the head of the family. How to climb up to this position depends on your own abilities. Those who are not capable will be a member of the Yan family for their entire lives."

  "Dad... how are we supposed to...?" a young man asked tremulously, which was also the question on everyone's mind. How could they possibly gain Yan Tianhao's recognition? What did it take to stand out? There had to be some kind of standard!

  "The protector of the front hall of the Hao Yue Temple will be increased by one person, and this person's quota will come from all first-class and second-class families in the Hao Yue Temple area. Whoever can get the position of the temple's front hall protector for the Yan family will become the next master of the Yan family!"

  As soon as this was said, everyone present subconsciously looked at Yun Feng. The competition for the position of Temple Guardian was undoubtedly suited to Yun Feng! Moreover, it was a competition between first-rate and second-rate families. Although the Yan family was not bad, they were also a second-rate family, how could they compete with a first-rate family?

  "Anyone has the opportunity, wanting this position must pay something!" Yan Tianhao's words were right, if Yan Ming didn't have the Body Refining Liquid, Yun Feng wouldn't help him with this matter. What Yan Ming paid out had a return of value for him, only by paying would he gain something.

  "One week later is the registration date, whoever wants to fight for the Yan family's honor, come find me." Yan Tianhao said this and looked deeply at Yan Ming, "Alright, all of you go down and think carefully!"

  At the sound of the order, the gate opened wide and everyone walked out one after another. Yun Feng and Yan Ming walked back and forth, with no one else on the road. "Yan Tianhao's appetite is quite big, he also has this self-awareness, knowing that relying on the Yan family's own strength, getting the position of the General Temple Guardian is like ascending to heaven." Yun Feng said lightly, Yan Ming chuckled beside him.

  "No choice, since you've come, this ambition will naturally have the momentum to expand."

  "Hmph! You're indeed having a lot of trouble. Cloud Maple's expression was slightly cold, while Yan Ming burst out laughing, "Help me this once, and what you'll get isn't just the Body Refining Elixir, but also the position of the Grand Temple's Guardian, isn't that tempting?"

  Yun Feng heard this, her red lips slowly curved upwards, and she slightly turned her face to look at Yan Ming with a pair of black eyes, "You're comparing my thoughts with yours, aren't you underestimating me?"

  Yan Ming was taken aback, and Yun Feng smiled softly, her black eyes gazing into the distance. "What I want is more than you can imagine!" The position of Protector of the Hawthorn Temple? Others might covet it, but Yun Feng didn't care about it at all. Helping Yan Ming with this matter was fine, but when he became the master of the house, who would become the new Protector had nothing to do with her. However, she could use this position to conveniently search for the remaining half of the region. Searching alone would take too long, after all.

  "Haha, so that's how it is..." Yan Ming smiled and shook his head, "It figures, a small temple guardian like you can't possibly make the summoner stay."

  Yun Feng didn't answer, when they walked to the courtyard where Yan Ming currently lived, Yun Feng stopped in his tracks. "I will get you this spot, but I need to add one more condition."

  Yan Ming smiled, "Of course, I was just thinking that only having the Body Refining Liquid might be a bit too little."

  "You're a man who excels at scheming, with a heart as deep as the ocean."

  Yan Ming seemed delighted to hear this comment, with a pleased expression, "Isn't it reassuring to deal with a man like me, without worrying about any consequences?"

  Yun Feng smiled, her red lips slightly raised, a gust of wind blew over the girl's black hair, falling beside her cheek. "Dealing with someone like you won't bring any harm." After saying this, Yun Feng walked into the courtyard, the wind still blowing, her hair lightly fluttering. Yan Ming stood there, looking at Yun Feng's slender back, suddenly dazed, and finally slightly helplessly shook his head, his black eyes slightly lowered. "Won't bring any harm... is that so?"
