Lu Yijun had figured out that Chen Yang was actually Chen Fei.
It wasn’t difficult to deduce. As long as one knew that Chen Yang lacked normal vision, it was only natural to connect the dots—Chen Yang was indeed Chen Fei.
Chen Fei wasn’t particularly surprised. After all, he and Lu Yijun had traveled together for a long time. Many times, when Lu Yijun discovered treasures, Chen Fei showed no reaction. Repeated occurrences like this were bound to raise suspicions.
“You just mentioned that an opportunity has arrived?” Chen Fei changed the topic, neither confirming nor denying Lu Yijun’s speculation.
Hearing this, Lu Yijun immediately understood that his guess was correct. He followed up on the topic, saying, “Yes, it’s in the thorny underbrush ahead. However, we might have arrived a little late—someone is already there before us.”
Only then did Chen Fei understand why Lu Yijun had asked whether he was willing to fight for the opportunity if the opponents were from the Wanguo Chamber of Commerce or Qinling.
“What are we waiting for then?” Chen Fei followed the direction Lu Yijun had indicated earlier and walked forward at a brisk pace.
Lu Yijun was pleased and quickly followed.
Sure enough, it didn’t take long before Chen Fei saw two groups of Grand Spiritualists confronting each other, their gazes locked onto a peculiar flower in the midst of the thorns, which was slowly wilting.
“What is that?” Chen Fei asked, unfamiliar with the flower.
“The King of Ten Thousand Luo Flowers!”
“When this flower withers, the Ten Thousand Luo blooms!”
“For Grand Spiritualists, this is one of the finest opportunities for a breakthrough.”
“The two on the left are direct descendants of the Wang family from Tianque City. I know them and have some acquaintance with them.”
“The four on the right are not from our Great Qing Kingdom. Judging by their presence, they must be extraordinary—otherwise, it would have been impossible for them to enter in a group of four.”
Lu Yijun explained.
The entrance to a secret realm could have multiple access points, but opening an entrance required a significant cost. The larger the group and the stronger their cultivation, the more complex the formation needed, and consequently, the higher the consumption of spiritual stones.
Therefore, any faction willing to pay such a high price to enter the secret realm must be highly influential and powerful.
“The King of Ten Thousand Luo Flowers?”
Chen Fei nodded. In this situation, mere acquaintanceship likely meant nothing—at best, it ensured that they wouldn’t betray each other. Expecting the Wang siblings to hand over such an opportunity was almost impossible unless an equivalent trade was made.
As the two of them spotted the Wang siblings and the four foreigners, those individuals had naturally noticed them as well.
Seeing their approach, the Wang siblings visibly relaxed. Wang Lingfeng, the elder brother, even stepped forward to greet them. His sister, Wang Lingzhi, followed closely behind.
“Brother Lu, I didn’t expect to see you so soon! What a pleasant surprise.” Wang Lingfeng laughed heartily.
“Brother Wang, I trust you have been well.” Lu Yijun greeted him with a smile and a respectful clasp of his hands.
“Brother Lu, it’s great that you showed up at this moment. Otherwise, my brother and I might have been bullied by these people!” Wang Lingzhi said cheerfully. Her voice was pleasant and carried a hint of playful charm, like a little sister meeting a protective older brother.
“Sister Lingzhi, you’re becoming more charming by the day!” Lu Yijun’s eyes brightened as he laughed. “Don’t worry, as long as I’m here, no one will bully you.”
Wang Lingzhi’s nickname was ‘Lingzhi,’ and those close to her often called her by this name due to its phonetic resemblance.
After exchanging greetings, Wang Lingfeng and Wang Lingzhi turned their attention to Chen Fei, naturally guessing his identity.
“Brother Lu, if I’m not mistaken, this must be the esteemed talent from Huangwu City—the specially recruited student of Silvermoon Academy, and recently appointed president of the Wanguo Chamber of Commerce’s Huangwu City branch—Brother Chen Yang, correct?” Wang Lingfeng deliberately listed all the known facts about Chen Yang.
Of course, he wasn’t just speaking to Chen Yang—he was also making sure that the four foreign Grand Spiritualists heard every word.
Being a specially recruited student at Silvermoon Academy wasn’t particularly significant. If not for Lu Yijun’s presence, Wang Lingfeng wouldn’t have even mentioned it.
What truly mattered was the mention of the Wanguo Chamber of Commerce.
Among the various factions that had entered the secret realm, the most powerful was undoubtedly Qinling—no one dared to challenge them.
Right after Qinling, the second most influential faction was the Wanguo Chamber of Commerce.
As expected, the moment Wang Lingfeng spoke, the four young foreign experts displayed subtle changes in their expressions, shifting their gazes toward Chen Fei.
“That’s right! This is my Brother Chen Yang!” Lu Yijun laughed heartily.
“Brother Chen Yang, I’ve heard much about you!” Wang Lingfeng cupped his hands in greeting.
“Greetings, Brother Chen Yang!” Wang Lingzhi also stepped forward with enthusiasm, her bright eyes shimmering with a charming allure.
Chen Fei returned the greeting politely. “I’ve also heard much about the talented Wang siblings.”
After introductions, they naturally walked together, moving closer to the slowly wilting King of Ten Thousand Luo Flowers, directly opposing the four foreign Grand Spiritualists.
Among the four, three were men and one was a woman. The leader was a handsome man in white robes.
Neither side made a move or spoke further. They simply remained on guard, knowing that since the King of Ten Thousand Luo Flowers hadn’t fully withered yet, the opportunity hadn’t truly begun. Fighting too early would only benefit latecomers.
Now, all they could do was wait—for the exact moment the flower withered. The instant it did, they would fight with everything they had to seize the opportunity it granted.
No more factions arrived, making it clear that this opportunity belonged solely to the three groups present.
As the decisive moment neared, Wang Lingfeng no longer hesitated. He turned to Lu Yijun and said, “Brother Lu, let’s join forces against the foreigners. Once we drive them away, we can discuss the flower’s ownership. Regardless of who ultimately claims the opportunity, it’s still better than letting outsiders take it.”
“Naturally!” Lu Yijun nodded firmly.
Just as Lu Yijun and Wang Lingfeng were discussing their alliance, the handsome foreigner in white stepped forward.
“Friends from Silvermoon Academy and the Wang family, allow me to introduce myself,” he said. “I am Tao Jinyun of the Tao family from the Qi Kingdom. These are my younger siblings.”
The Tao family of the Qi Kingdom?
Chen Fei didn’t know much about them, but their ability to send four family members into the secret realm indicated their strength.
Lu Yijun and the Wang siblings, however, showed slight changes in expression as they exchanged glances.
The Tao family of Qi Kingdom!
Decades ago, a remarkable genius named Tao Yixi had emerged from this family. She was now revered as the Tao family matriarch.
No one knew exactly how powerful Tao Yixi had become.
All that Lu Yijun and the Wang siblings knew was that she was a major figure in Qinling, and her husband was also one of Qinling’s top experts.
Thus, it was only natural that the Tao family of Qi Kingdom had become a subsidiary force of Qinling!
