Hao Yue Palace is the southernmost region of the Western Continent, and it is also the southernmost tip. The three palaces are arranged in a vertical column formation. Zong Lin Palace is located between Qian Xue Palace and Hao Yue Palace, and the area of Zong Lin Palace is not large. There are many strange people living in the area of Zong Lin Palace, which is the evaluation given by the master of Hao Yue Palace to Zong Lin Palace.

  Yun Feng and his group had been walking for about two or three days. The Canglan City was located in the central position of the Hao Yue Temple, heading north, the vast area of the Hao Yue Temple was not small, and at Yun Feng's speed, it took them two or three days to arrive at the intersection of the Hao Yue Temple and the Zong Lin Temple.

  Looking ahead at the vast expanse of land, Yun Feng took a deep breath. Ahead was the area of Zong Lin Temple! "Let's go," he said softly, and Yun Feng led the way into the area of Zong Lin Temple. The border areas between the three temples were not managed by anyone, and the three temples also tacitly understood each other. After all, the balance of power between them made none of the three temples dare to make any moves easily. Whoever made a move would be the first to be eliminated. Therefore, all the border areas were open, and the three temples could come and go freely.

  Yun Feng did not encounter the kind of interception by the guards of the four major empires on the Eastern Continent, but instead directly and grandly entered the Zong Lin Temple area. Unfolding the map given to her by the master of the Hao Yue Temple, although it was roughly marked, it also provided Yun Feng with a clear direction.

  To understand the general situation of Zonglindian, we must first find the residents living here. Yunfeng glanced at the map, and their current location was in the southern border area of Zonglindian. Not far from here, there was a small town on the southern border, Jishui Town.

  Yun Feng led the way in front, flying over from mid-air, with a dense forest below her feet. Yun Feng suddenly thought of her hometown, Chunfeng Town, which was also connected to such a dense forest and located at the border. Thinking of her hometown made Yun Feng think of many people she had been missing.

  Black-faced old man, his own big brother Yunsheng, and the already pregnant Muxiao Jin. After getting the body-refining liquid, Yunfeng did not immediately return to the Western Continent, because crossing the Beast Mountain Range between the Eastern and Western Continents is fraught with great danger, and it's not as simple as casually crossing a mountain ridge! Moreover, the body-refining liquid can only be used when the child is born, so even if he gives it to his big brother and Muxiao Jin now, it would be useless. If some people with ulterior motives find out about this, it would undoubtedly add trouble for his big brother and others. Yunfeng couldn't stay in the Eastern Continent for long, and she had urgent matters to attend to on the Western Continent - Mu Canghai's resurrection, and other branches of the Yun family. In the Hawthorn Temple region, there were no leads, which made Yunfeng anxious.

  She hopes to bring her a surprise before the birth of Muxiao Jin, hoping that the newly born little life has its own complete family, not just father and mother, but also an uncle who is reborn. Of course, there are also the branches of the Yun family, and Yun Feng hopes that when he returns to the Eastern Continent, he can tell his father and elder brother that they still have relatives.

  Yun Feng didn't go back, she still wanted to continue searching. There was still more than half a year before the production date of Mu Xiao Jin's movie. Within this period, she hoped that she could gain something. She had also briefly communicated with her older brother and Mu Xiao Jin, both of whom shared the same attitude - they didn't want Yun Feng to rush back, letting Yun Feng take care of her own affairs first. This made Yun Feng feel comforted and moved from the bottom of her heart.

  However, when that little life is born, she will definitely be there. That's the child of the Yun family, and the continuation of the Yun family bloodline. She wants to give this child the best of everything.

  A figure flashed by in the high air, and under his feet, the dense forest stretched out in a green carpet. Yun Feng's gaze swept down, but he only saw a few dark shadows flashing through the woods. Yun Feng slightly raised an eyebrow, not taking it seriously, but immediately afterwards was the furious roar of a magical beast, "Roar......"

  This furious roar was filled with boundless anger and ferocity. As a summoner, Yun Feng had more interactions with magical beasts than others, and although he couldn't understand the beast's roar, he knew that it was on the verge of rage. The little fire and Lan Yi beside him were both gloomy, and the Yao Yao in Yun Feng's arms also looked slightly ferocious.

  "What's wrong?" Qu Lan Yi saw Yun Feng suddenly stop in mid-air and came to his side. When he saw that several magic beasts had the same expression, Qu Lan Yi was somewhat surprised. Yan Chen also hurried over with a big smile, "I said, why do you all have such expressions! It's just a magic beast roar! Yun Feng, as a summoner, are you afraid?" Yan Chen laughed carelessly, and Xiao Huo growled in annoyance, "Humans who don't understand anything, shut up!"

  Yan Chen was taken aback for a moment, then got a bit angry. Yun Feng glanced at Yan Chen, signaling him to stop talking, "Lan Yi, what did that demon beast say?"

  Lan's beautiful face was shrouded in gloom, his blue eyes staring down below. The beast's roar sounded again, "It said, return my child to me."

  At this point, Yun Feng's heart suddenly ached, Qu Lan Yi's expression turned much colder, Yan Chen chuckled dryly and scratched his head, no longer speaking.

  Yun Feng didn't say a word, but her body had already quickly rushed down, and in an instant she had disappeared into that dense greenness. Xiao Huo and Lan Yi also immediately followed, with a dark red and a green light respectively chasing after Yun Feng. Qu Lan Yi and Yan Chen stood in mid-air, Yan Chen looking at Yun Feng's back, "Her personality is really too emotional, it's just a demon beast, not a human."

  Qing Lanyi smiled and said, "What about humans? Should they have unique higher rights? In this world, humans are equal to other races."

  Yan Zhen laughed and said, "Qu Lan Yi, I didn't expect that you not only look like a girl, but also think like one."

  Qū Lán Yī casually curled up the corners of his mouth, "Are all Dark System mages as cold-blooded and ruthless as you?"

  Huǒ Chè pí pí de xiào dào: "Wǒ yě hěn xiǎng zhī dào, nán dào guāng xì mó fǎ shī dōu tóng nǐ yī yàng shā rén bù jiǎ yǎn?"

  Translation:

  Huochi laughed and said: "I also want to know, are all light system mages like you who kill people without blinking?"

  "You'll have the chance to know." Qū Lán Yī said, turning around to chase after Yún Fēng. Yán Chá stood in mid-air and laughed loudly, also quickly chasing after them. He really wanted to have a real fight with Qū Lán Yī, as light and darkness were born as arch-enemies, his heart was always stirring, this was perhaps fate.

  Yun Feng rushed into the dense forest, and the roar of the demon beast suddenly sounded. Yun Feng identified the direction and chased after the demon beast. Xiao Huo and Lan Yi followed behind Yun Feng with unsightly expressions. Gradually, Yun Feng saw a leopard with purple stripes running wildly in the forest, chasing after three figures. The three figures were escaping in a somewhat disheveled manner. Yun Feng slightly narrowed his eyes and clearly saw that one of the girls was holding onto a poor demon beast cub!

  When Xiao Huo and Lan Yi saw the captured cub, the emotions of the two demons became violent and irritable. Yun Feng immediately ordered them not to make any moves, and suddenly rushed forward, intercepting the three figures that were escaping forward.

  "Halt." Yun Feng's sudden appearance startled the three figures, who were fleeing in disarray. The only girl among them let out a shrill cry, while the two boys turned pale at the sight. All three thought it was another monster, but when they saw that it was a human being, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

  "Get out of the way!" The girl holding the demon cub shouted loudly. Yun Feng stood firmly in front of the girl, looking at the demon cub in her hand, which was already on its last breath, its small body hanging limply in mid-air, swaying back and forth with the girl's movements like a lifeless puppet.

  Yun Feng's dark eyes sank, "Let it go." Yun Feng's words made the girl stunned for a moment, and then she realized that Yun Feng was referring to the one in her hand.

  "Let her go? Are you crazy! Get out of here! Lakun, Ahzhong! Hurry up and get rid of this madwoman! If that demon beast catches up to us, we're done for!" The girl shouted, the two boys on either side were tense and nodded in agreement, taking action. Yunfeng merely sneered.

  A mere three little demons at the fifth level, daring to drive her away!

  Two young men came at her with fierce punches and kicks, and Yun Feng's figure instantly vanished. The two young men were slightly stunned. The girl thought that Yun Feng was scared away and immediately continued to rush forward desperately. In the next second, a faint gust of wind slid past her side, and the girl only felt a sudden numbness in her wrist, and the cub she was holding onto had been snatched away!

  "My monster!" The girl shrieked, her face changing color. A gentle breeze blew by, and a figure slowly appeared beside her, carefully cradling in its hand the very same monster cub that the girl had been holding, now on the verge of death.

  Yun Feng's expression was cold, the cub in her hand had obviously been taken away by force from its mother just after birth. Its body was icy cold and still covered with amniotic fluid from the delivery. The little creature shivered as it lay on Yun Feng's warm palm. A faint aura of lightning element energy emanated from the cub's body, although extremely weak, but enough for Yun Feng to sense it - a lightning element, perhaps she could help.

  The palm stuck to the cub's body, and the thunder element slowly spread from Yun Feng's palm center, then slowly penetrated into the cub's body. The cub's body, which had been gradually cooling down, suddenly had a temperature, and its limbs, which had no movement at all, had slight convulsions. Yun Feng's eyes lit up, it was still alive!

  "Give me back my beast!" A shrill cry rang out. Yun Feng didn't even lift an eyebrow, focusing intently on nursing the fragile life in his palm. The girl saw that Yun Feng was completely ignoring her and couldn't help but blush with anger, "Are you deaf? I said, give me back my beast!"

  Noticing that the little guy in his palm had already escaped the brink of life and death, Yun Feng slowly raised his black eyes and carefully looked at the three people in front of him. They appeared to be a few years younger than Yun Feng, all with vibrant and youthful faces, looking somewhat immature. The girl standing in the middle was quite pretty, but compared to Yun Feng, she was just an ordinary person. The boy on her right had fair skin and a delicate face, but his clothes were clearly inferior; while the other one had an average appearance, but was dressed with great care.

  The strength of the three people is all at level five, which can't even enter her eyes. Level five is far from her current standard!

  The two young men couldn't help but blush when they looked at Yun Feng, after all, Yun Feng's facial features were delicate and much more beautiful than the girl. The girl noticed that the two boys beside her were a little distracted and couldn't help but feel annoyed and angry, "What are you looking at? My magic beast has been stolen!"

  The two young men turned back, and the one with a delicate face was still slightly flushed. He looked at the cub in Yun Feng's hand and his eyes flashed with a hint of heartache. "Cai Hua, maybe we shouldn't have this one either... after all, it just born..."

  "That's my demon! Mine!" The girl shouted in discontent. Yun Feng suddenly let out a cold laugh, the little guy in his palm had already opened its eyes, with a confused expression, those beautiful big eyes stared at Yun Feng, full of curiosity.

  "Yours?" Yun Feng's icy gaze swept towards the girl, who was shocked by his aura and couldn't speak for a moment. "It's... mine... what's wrong?" The girl stammered, shouting out in a trembling voice. Yun Feng continued to channel the lightning element into the young creature's body, "Thick-skinned, indeed the highest state."

  "What did you say?" The girl's face turned red, and a boy with an ordinary appearance next to her spoke up, "This demon beast was caught by us, so it naturally belongs to us!"

  The girl hummed, "Did you hear that?! Return my...my...demon beast to me!" The girl shouted word by word, her eyes fixed intently on Yun Feng. Just then, a low growl sounded, and a black shadow suddenly darted out, "Roar......" A furious and heart-wrenching roar shook the sky, and a sleek leopard with purple spots all over its body appeared. Its purple eyes were ablaze with anger, and when it saw the cub in Yun Feng's hand, it let out a fierce roar!

  "Quick, quick, give it back to me!" The girl took a few steps back as soon as she saw the purple electric leopard. Two boys immediately stepped forward and protected her. The purple electric leopard and Yun Feng stared at each other, neither daring to move forward easily. Although the leopard was also extremely angry in its heart, the danger awareness of the magical beast reminded it that Yun Feng was not someone to be trifled with!

  "Rooooo..." The low growl was telling Yun Feng to drop the cub in his hands. Yun Feng smiled, this purple electric leopard was a sixth-level beast, and these three people were lucky to have brought back the cub without getting hurt!

  She slowly put the little thing in her hand on the ground, and the cub was reluctant to leave. The small paws lightly scratched Yun Feng's arm, and Yun Feng smiled and pushed the little guy's body gently. The cub's big eyes stared at Yun Feng, then slowly turned around, and with unsteady limbs, stepped onto the ground and walked towards its mother.

  Zi Dian Bao was visibly taken aback when the cubs really returned to his side. Zi Dian Bao suddenly raised his head, his beautiful purple eyes fixed tightly on Yun Feng. Yun Feng chuckled and said, "Let's go, take your kids with you."

  The purple electric leopard clutched the cub in its mouth and instantly disappeared into the depths of the dense forest. The girl had not dared to speak until she saw the purple electric leopard leave with the cub, when she suddenly let out a sharp cry: "My demon beast! You actually let my demon beast go!"

  "With your mere fifth-level strength, you were able to snatch that cub from the sixth-level Purple Thunder Leopard's side. All I can say is that you're lucky." Yun Feng said calmly. The girl still wouldn't give in, although the fact was indeed true, but being seen through so easily by someone, she didn't have any face left.

  "No matter what, that's still my monster! Now you've let my monster go, you have to compensate me!" The unreasonable words of the young girl left both boys speechless.

  "Caihua, will this request...?" The handsome young man looked somewhat embarrassed. Monster, you want to be compensated but it's not certain if we can afford it! Where are we going to get the money from?

  "I don't care! Compensate me!" The girl shouted relentlessly, but Yun Feng just smiled lightly. Although Yun Feng was only a few years older than them on the surface, due to his realm and strength being far superior, these few were just naive children who hadn't shed their milk teeth, and Yun Feng didn't even bother to pay attention!

  "Are you a summoner?" Yun Feng raised an eyebrow and asked the girl. The girl hesitated, then blushed and whispered, "N-no... it's none of your business!"

  "Not a summoner, what do you want to do with that purple electric leopard cub? A decorative pet?" Yun Feng's icy voice came over, and the girl was caught off guard. "Being my pet is its honor!" The girl shouted back, trying to save face. Yun Feng laughed, as a summoner, she had a contract with magical beasts, and naturally had different feelings towards them. In her eyes, magical beasts and humans were no different, even if they didn't speak the same language, they shared the same emotions!

  No one is born to be a controller, and the beast is not destined to be driven by fate. The summoner's contract with the beast is just using his own life in exchange for help! All living beings are equal, applicable to any world!

  The meatball that was originally sitting on Xiao Huo's head suddenly jumped over and landed directly on Yun Feng's shoulder. The girl's eyes lit up when she saw the meatball, and she immediately pointed at it, "It's this one! You're going to use it to compensate me!"

  The meatball didn't even bother to reason with the girl, its cute and fluffy body rubbing against Yun Feng's cheek. Yun Feng stroked the meatball's body with his fingers, "Do you think I'll give it to you just because you want it? Who do you think you are?" Yun Feng turned around and walked away, and upon hearing this, the girl immediately jumped up on the spot, "Which of you two can get that little thing for me, I'll marry whoever does!"

  As soon as the words came out, the expressions of the two young men changed. Yun Feng not only laughed at this, but also thought that this girl took emotions and marriage lightly? Could she just marry anyone casually? Yun Feng felt absurd! The handsome young man with a clear face ran to Yun Feng's front, his small face with tension and stubbornness.

  "Can't you... give it to me... what do you want, I can trade!"

  Yun Feng raised the corners of her mouth, earlier this young man was with the girl, but his words were full of kindness, his nature should be good, he just liked a girl like that. "What do you have to negotiate with me?" Yun Feng slightly narrowed her black eyes, her sharp gaze scrutinizing the young man in front of her who was about the same height as her. The young man's face turned red, looking at his clothes with some embarrassment, unable to speak.

  "You'd better give up early! Caohua should marry me! Hey, say it, what do you want in exchange for handing this thing over?" The boy with ordinary looks walked over, with an air of inevitability, while the girl stood by with a complacent expression.

  "You think you can negotiate with me?" Yun Feng said impatiently, "Get out of the way!" A low growl made the ordinary-looking boy somewhat fearful. "Do you know who I am? And do you know who she is?" The plain-looking youth pointed at the smug-looking girl, "That's Shi Caihua, the daughter of the Shi family from the third-rate noble families! And I'm Li Chong, the young master of the Li family from the same rank! In Jishui Town, the Shi family is like heaven, and the Li family is second only to them! Don't you fear that the Shi and Li families won't let you off today for making Caihua's magical beast disappear?"

  Yun Feng glanced at Li Chong and Shi Caihua, the girl looked even more complacent now. Yun Feng smiled, "I really don't want to waste words with you two, after all, taking action against you would be beneath me, I'm not willing to do that." Yun Feng turned his gaze to a nearby handsome young man who was being directly ignored, he was able to catch Shi Caihua's eye because of this face and his pretty good talent, after all, they were able to reach level five in their teens, which is already better than ordinary people.

  "That cub wasn't obtained by your own abilities, it just slipped through the cracks. If you three can defeat that Purple Thunder Leopard in a fair and square battle, I might even applaud for you!" In this world, you can get what you want as long as you have the ability! By relying on your own strength to obtain what you want, others will be proud of you and cheer for you! You have the ability, so you can naturally obtain things that match your abilities!

  The three of them looked embarrassed, how could they defeat that purple electric leopard! A sixth-level magical beast! Even if the three of them joined forces, it's not certain they would have any advantage! "Mind your own business! As long as I get my hands on it, it's mine!"

  Yun Feng burst out laughing, thinking that as long as he got his hands on something, it was his? If that's the logic, then most of this continent belongs to Yun Feng!

  "Strength decides everything, otherwise, just shut up." Yun Feng said calmly and walked forward. The girl saw this and couldn't help but let out a loud roar, "What are you two doing? Still not making a move!"

  Yun Feng's dark eyes sank, and he had said all the good things, but these people were still unenlightened! They were truly obstinate and ignorant!

  Two young men were somewhat at a loss, in front of the girl they couldn't be cowards! Knowing that this person can't be provoked, but it's all or nothing now! The two fifth-level youngsters suddenly burst out with their full fighting spirit, both letting out a loud roar as they charged towards Yun Feng. In their opinion, it was an all-out attack, but in Yun Feng's eyes, it was just a gentle breeze!

  "Ah!" "Ah!" Two young figures flashed by in the air, looking disheveled. Yun Feng didn't make a sound, standing there with an invisible spiritual force that directly blasted the two youngsters flying! The two youngsters were blasted to the ground, looking quite disheveled, and as they crawled up from the ground, their faces were slightly flushed. They had no injuries on their bodies, only having been thrown, and it was clear that Yun Feng had not intended to harm them.

  "What are you still dawdling for? Let's go!" The girl couldn't help but shout, and the two boys felt a bit embarrassed. Yun Feng didn't mean to hurt them, and they couldn't be so ungrateful, but the girl's urging voice was ringing in their ears, and the boy with the clear face couldn't bear it anymore, "Cai Hua, we can't beat that person."

  "Shut up! Clouds fall dust, I knew you were a useless mud that can't even be used to build walls, coward!" The girl shrieked. Li Chong couldn't help but laugh at the side, he originally wanted to say this sentence too, but let this kid take the blame instead.

  The handsome young man was clearly wounded in his pride, and with a desperate look on his face, he rushed up. Li Chong watched with a smile at the corner of his mouth, but this time the young man did not get knocked flying by Yun Feng. The young man fiercely rushed to Yun Feng's front, raised his palm heavily to strike, but was lightly caught by Yun Feng's wrist.

  A pair of clear black eyes looked at the young man, and there was an uncontrollable excitement and... thrill in the bottom of his eyes.

  "What's your name?" Yun Feng grasped the boy's wrist, and a warm temperature emanated from the boy's wrist. The boy looked at Yun Feng's face at such close range, his cheeks flushing again, and he completely forgot about his intended attack, staring blankly as he replied: "Yun Luochen."

  Everyone watching on the side was stunned, Xiao Huo and Lan Yi were both extremely shocked as they stared at the young man, Qu Lianyi's eyes also swept over, carefully sizing him up, only Yan Hui and Yao Yao had a confused expression, not understanding what everyone was excited about, only knowing that this young man also shared the surname Yun.

  Yun Feng's heart was racing with excitement, an indescribable excitement. She had searched the entire Hawthorn Palace area without finding any news of the Yun family branch, and yet she ran into him as soon as she entered the Zonglin Palace? Yun Feng tried to calm her excited brain down, wondering if it was just a coincidence, and whether having the surname Yun necessarily meant being a member of the Yun family's bloodline. Maybe it was just another surname that had evolved from something else. Yun Feng struggled to calm herself down, again and again, but... her heart was still erupting with excitement like a volcano!

  "Yún luò chén, what are you doing?" The girl's voice came again, and seeing Yún luò chén's dispirited appearance made her feel extremely uncomfortable. Lǐ zhòng got up from the ground and stood beside Shí cǎi huá, "Cǎi huá, that kid is staring at other women with wide eyes, what else do you want him to do? Only I am devoted to you."

  Shi Caihua gave Li Chong a fierce stare, her heart filled with anger and resentment. If it weren't for family matters, she wouldn't even bother to interact with him! Looking at Yun Luocheng's pale face turning slightly red, Shi Caihua's heart churned with emotions. Although Yun Luocheng's family background was not good, he looked handsome and had a decent personality. If he behaved a bit better, she might have reluctantly accepted him. But now, he was gazing at another woman like that - how despicable!

  "Yún luò chén! Don't you like me? You like me yet still look at other women!" The girl's voice suddenly brought Yún Luò Chén back to his senses, and the young man somewhat awkwardly tried to shake off Yún Fēng's hand. Yún Fēng knew he was a member of the Yún family, how could she possibly let him leave! Some things needed to be asked clearly, if it really was someone from the Yún family branch, what great fortune that would be!

  "She's not worth your liking." Yun Feng said lightly, releasing Yun Luocheng's wrist. "A girl who is two-timing like that isn't worth your affection." Yun Feng's dark eyes stared intensely at Yun Luocheng, causing him to blush again. Shi Caihua heard this and couldn't help but feel a pang of unease in her heart. "I'm not two-timing! I'm just making comparisons! Luocheng, Ah Chong, don't listen to that woman's nonsense!"

  Yun Feng smiled softly and said, "You know there's danger ahead, yet you let them charge forward. Do you really care about them or are you just using and playing with them?"

  The girl's face suddenly turned white, and Yunluo Chen and Li Chong both looked thoughtful after hearing it. Shi Caihua glared at her and shouted: "It wasn't like that! I didn't think of it that way, shut up!"

  "Let's just go back." Li Chong's face was gloomy, Shi Caihua had been made to feel guilty by Yun Feng's words. Originally, she and these two people were ambiguous, but they didn't object, so she thought this was what she deserved. She also floated between the two of them, with a sense of vanity, after all, Yun Luo Chen's appearance was not bad, Li Chong's family background was not bad, having these two people unconditionally following her around, Shi Caihua had always enjoyed it. Now, being made to feel awkward by Yun Feng's words, she also couldn't say anything else.

  "Hmph!" Shi Caihua turned around and walked away, seeing Yun Luochen not planning to leave immediately, she couldn't help but shout: "Yun Luochen! If you don't leave now, then don't come see me again!"

  Yunluo Chen's body shook slightly as he immediately turned around and followed, only to glance back at Yun Feng once more. Yun Feng didn't say anything else, letting him leave. After the three young men left, Yun Feng's gaze remained fixed on the direction Yunluo Chen had departed in, her inner excitement still lingering. It seemed that there should be news of the Yun family in this small town on the border. Whether or not it was the Yun family member she was searching for, who knows?

  A warm palm rested on Yun Feng's body, and Yun Feng slightly turned her head to see Qu Lan Yi's warm smile. "Will he be your family?" Qu Lan Yi asked softly, Yun Feng wanted to nod but was uncertain, she also wanted to know. Yun Luo Chen, the Cloud Family of Jiu Shui Town, were they really the same clan bloodline she was looking for? However, she would soon have an answer, Yun Feng took out the Zhi Ling Jade, Yun Luo Chen's aura had already been absorbed into it, and a bright light appeared on the surface of the Zhi Ling Jade, which was indeed Yun Luo Chen. Looking at Yun Luo Chen's direction of advancement, Yun Feng smiled faintly as she walked forward, her heart filled with indescribable joy. Even if he wasn't the Cloud Family branch she was looking for, she would still be happy to have met someone with the same surname. She would go visit him privately, visit the Cloud Family in this small town, Yun Feng believed she could get the answers she wanted.

  Jù Shuǐ Town is a small town on the border of Zōng Lín Temple. In a remote corner of Jù Shuǐ Town, in front of a not-so-large courtyard gate, a young man pushed open the door and closed it behind him. The young man looked at the somewhat desolate courtyard and couldn't help but mock himself, "I'm back!"

  Several people in the courtyard were waving at the young man, "Lu Chen is back."

  "Did you go out with Miss Shi again? Did Miss Shi say anything?"

  "How's your relationship with Miss Shi?"

  One question after another bombarded him, and the young man felt a headache coming on. He gave some perfunctory answers that would satisfy these people before finally ending it. The young man walked to a room, pushed open the door, and flopped onto his worn-out bed, letting out a dejected sigh. This was his home. In this Water Gathering Town, in the area of the Zong Lin Temple, there was a family with no status, a family that didn't even have a name.

  "Get up." A serious voice sounded outside the door. Yun Luochen jumped down from the bed with a flip, and the door opened to reveal a tall and thin man standing outside, his face also had a refined look. "Father," Yun Luochen called out softly, the thin man walked in, his eyebrows always furrowed together.

  "Are you going out with Shi Caihua?" The tall and thin man asked, Yun Luocheng nodded, sat down on the bed, and lowered her head.

  "What's your relationship with Shi Caihua?" The tall and thin man asked again. Yun Luocheng's eyebrows slightly furrowed, "Just that."

  The tall, thin man didn't speak again for a long time, and then let out a faint sigh. "Lu Chen, I know this isn't ideal for you, but for the sake of the Yun family's future, it can't be helped... You must get along with Shi Caihua, and if possible, try to..."

  "Father!" Yunluo Chen finally lifted his head, and the young face was mixed with a painful expression. "You can use me if you want to, after all, I am my father's son, and it is only natural for my father to make me do whatever he wants! But why did you have to resort to this method of selling out your own son just to get in good with the Shi family? If the Yun family didn't have the ability to take things to this level, then why bother?! I really don't understand, Father, why...

  "Slap!" A clear slapping sound echoed in the air, Yunluo Chen sat there, one cheek burning with pain. The tall and thin man held up his palm, a suppressed anger on his face, though he was holding back his inner rage, but the slap had already been delivered.

  Yunluo Chen slowly raised his face, staring blankly at his father. The tall and thin man had a cold expression, "Yunluo Chen, don't forget what your surname is! As a member of the Yun family, throw away that thought from your mind! The Yun family currently has no power, but that doesn't mean we won't have any in the future!"

  "Why...?" Yun Luochen muttered to herself, wondering why, if he was so determined, did he still have to sacrifice his feelings? Why did he let himself get close to Shi Caihua and even say that he liked her against his will? What's the point of this?

  "You don't have to get close to Shi Caihua anymore, Yunjia"
