Kàn Yǔting looked at Xià Fēng with interest, seeing that Xià Fēng was young and looked energetic.
Only the man standing behind him looked fierce, his expression serious throughout, and he hadn't said a word.
When Kàn Yǔting asked, Xià Fēng smiled and said, "Actually, I'm quite a good person. Everyone likes to hang out with me."
Xià Fēng reviewed his life. Whether it was on Earth, in the Immortal Realm, or the God Realm, as long as it wasn't someone seeking death or someone he absolutely had to kill, Xià Fēng would never take a life.
After all, life was precious. As long as one was not utterly wicked and showed remorse, they could be granted forgiveness.
Take today's events, for example. Although Gǔ Hóngguāng and Zuǒ Tiānmò had offended him, he would not harbor murderous intentions towards them.
While offending a Divine Emperor was a capital offense, and such a situation for others might mean certain death or at least severe injury, Xià Fēng felt it was unnecessary.
After all, everyone was just putting on a show. Moreover, late-stage Divine Venerables were very powerful.
Many had tempers, and that was only natural.
Just like Gǔ Hóngguāng before, his words were harsh, but when Xià Fēng hadn't revealed his strength, he hadn't shown any murderous intent, nor had he thought of severe punishment.
Kàn Yǔting didn't believe Xià Fēng's self-praise and looked at the Lord of Myriad Underworlds behind him, asking, "Is this your follower? Why does he look so serious and not say a word?"
"Yes," Xià Fēng nodded.
Kàn Yǔting smiled and asked, "Then do you have high status in the Taiji Sect, or why do you have a follower?"
"It's alright," Xià Fēng nodded.
"Then can you take me to see Divine Venerable Zhāng? I really admire him," Kàn Yǔting said, her eyes filled with respect.
Zhāng Sānfēng's reputation in the God Realm was already quite good, mainly due to his character, which earned everyone's admiration.
His chivalrous and righteous demeanor was the reason for such respect.
"Doesn't your sect also have a Divine Venerable? Who are you to Divine Venerable Kàn?" Xià Fēng, seeing that Kàn Yǔting shared the same surname as Kàn Hàosī, wondered if there was a relationship.
"He's my grandfather, but I don't like him. He's too hypocritical. I still admire people like Divine Venerable Zhāng, like a hero," Kàn Yǔting shook her head, indicating her dislike.
Xià Fēng smiled faintly upon hearing this. He had just met her grandfather and indeed found him somewhat hypocritical and calculating.
While not a bad person, he was rather cunning.
"Do you think I'm wrong?" Kàn Yǔting pressed when Xià Fēng smiled without speaking.
"No, but is it appropriate to speak about your grandfather like that?" Xià Fēng chuckled.
"No, he told me himself. Grandpa said only I can speak the truth to him in the God Realm," Kàn Yǔting said, sounding a little proud of the truth she revealed.
"Didn't you say you'd take me inside for a look? I want to take a tour," Xià Fēng said, pointing at the Scripture Pavilion.
"Okay, come," Kàn Yǔting, like a kind-hearted child, quietly led Xià Fēng inside.
The Scripture Pavilion didn't contain many books. Xià Fēng wasn't interested in martial arts techniques. Looking at the ancient library, Xià Fēng asked, "Does this Scripture Pavilion have any ancient texts, specifically ancient texts about the God Realm?"
"There seems to be one, but it's on the second floor. Follow me," Kàn Yǔting said, turning to go upstairs. Xià Fēng followed.
They arrived at a small pavilion that looked ancient. Kàn Yǔting gently pushed the door open and walked in. It was filled with many ancient books.
"Take a look at this one, the Revelation of the God Realm." Kàn Yǔting took an ancient book from a corner and handed it to Xià Fēng.
Xià Fēng took it, flipped it open, and began to read.
Indeed, as Kàn Yǔting had said, this ancient text recorded events of the God Realm continent. The God Realm was divided into five continents: East, South, West, North, and Central.
The East Suburb Continent, the South Lake Continent, the West Meridian Continent, the North Profound Continent, and the Neutral Continent.
Xià Fēng was currently located in the North Profound Continent.
The ancient book described the formation of various continents, concluding with a brief reminder on the last page: "It is said that billions of years ago, the God Realm was merely a segment separated from the Sacred Realm, and the specifics of the Sacred Realm are unknown."
"It is rumored that the Sacred Realm was separated from the God Realm due to the Heavenly Dao. The history is too ancient, and there is no detailed introduction to the matters concerning the Sacred Realm and the Heavenly Dao."
Xià Fēng stared at this passage for two more times. Although there was not much evidence, Xià Fēng gained some impression of the Sacred Realm.
At least Xià Fēng now knew that if the Sacred Realm truly existed, why would the Heavenly Dao have detached the God Realm from the original Sacred Realm?
Or, what had happened to the Heavenly Dao back then?
Various questions arose in Xià Fēng's mind, and he fell into contemplation.
"Who allowed you to bring an outsider in? You have violated sect rules."
As Xià Fēng was lost in thought, a questioning voice rang out.
"I..." Kàn Yǔting was intimidated and dared not retort.
She knew that privately bringing an outsider into the Scripture Pavilion was a serious offense. Even if the sect leader was her relative, she would still be punished, facing at least fifty years of confinement.
The moment she saw Xià Fēng, she was inexplicably drawn to bring him in. Now, being questioned about why she brought Xià Fēng in, Kàn Yǔting couldn't explain.
"I'm going to tell Grandfather. You guard them here." The woman finished speaking and ran off.
The one who spoke was Kàn Yǔting's cousin, Kàn Yǔlín. Although they were cousins, their relationship was not very good, and bickering was commonplace.
Now that Kàn Yǔting had brought a stranger into the Scripture Pavilion, this was a golden opportunity. Kàn Yǔting would be confined at the very least.
Therefore, Kàn Yǔlín had directly run off to report Kàn Yǔting to their grandfather.
Kàn Yǔting watched Kàn Yǔlín, who had already run off, and anxiously said, "This is terrible. She's going to report me to my grandfather. I'll be confined again."
Kàn Yǔting looked dejected after saying this.
"It's okay, isn't there still me?" Xià Fēng comforted Kàn Yǔting, who looked worried.
"It's because of you that I'll be confined. Otherwise, I wouldn't have any trouble," Kàn Yǔting said with a pretend look of blame. Xià Fēng's words only drew her attention.
"Then don't worry, I'll put in a good word for you. I guarantee you'll be fine," Xià Fēng promised, patting his chest.
"What use is your good word? It would be more effective if your sect leader, Divine Venerable Zhāng, pleaded for me," Kàn Yǔting sighed, not believing Xià Fēng's plea would be helpful at all.
After all, she was the one in trouble, not him. Even though he had entered the Scripture Pavilion, he was still a disciple of the Taiji Sect and would not be punished. It was different for her.
Seeing Kàn Yǔting's disbelief, Xià Fēng smiled and assured her:
"With me here, don't worry. If your grandfather comes, he'll have to treat me with courtesy. Never mind entering the Scripture Pavilion, if I wanted to burn it down, your grandfather would definitely help fan the flames."
