"Vivian, is this something you don't want to talk about?" Leng Xingzhi put down his wine, looking quietly at Chu Lingwei, who seemed to be avoiding the question.
"That's not the case." It's not like she has something to hide from him.
Leng Xingzhi said nothing, just looked at her.
"I just feel like you are like someone who can do anything." Chu Lingwei knew that Leng Xingzhi harbored a big secret, and this secret could not be revealed to the outside world for the time being.
Therefore, Chu Lingwei never thought about asking Leng Xingzhi to reveal his secret to her right now.
It was just that the more time she spent with him, the more Chu Lingwei could guess.
The smile in Leng Xingzhi's eyes grew brighter. Vivian was testing him.
"So, Senior Disciple Brother is this amazing in Vivian's heart."
"Of course, you are simply an omnipotent being." Chu Lingwei nodded vigorously. Leng Xingzhi could almost walk sideways across the Xuan Tian Continent; he was truly an omnipotent being.
Leng Xingzhi burst into laughter. Looking at the adoration in Chu Lingwei's eyes, Leng Xingzhi felt he instantly grew taller.
"Senior Disciple Brother, you must protect me in the future and don't let anyone bully me." Seeing that Leng Xingzhi was in a good mood, Chu Lingwei immediately clung to him.
Leng Xingzhi dotingly pinched Chu Lingwei's nose. "As long as you stay by my side obediently, who would dare to provoke you? But can you be obedient?"
Vivian appeared obedient, but in her bones, she was very strong-willed and couldn't stand to be idle for a moment.
"Senior Disciple Brother, do you want me to be obedient?" Chu Lingwei retorted. He had set so many hurdles for her, and now he was using these words to pressure her.
Leng Xingzhi was helpless. He was at a loss for words.
Seeing her Senior Disciple Brother stumped by her question, she never expected he would have such a day.
After a long pause, Leng Xingzhi slowly said, "No matter what Vivian is like, Senior Disciple Brother likes her."
Chu Lingwei wanted to see her Senior Disciple Brother embarrassed, but she didn't expect it to be a confession, which left Chu Lingwei stunned.
"Senior Disciple Brother!" Seeing the smile in Leng Xingzhi's eyes, Chu Lingwei glared at him. This man had learned to be wicked; he was teasing her.
"Vivian, Senior Disciple Brother is not lying. No matter what Vivian is like, Senior Disciple Brother likes her."
Leng Xingzhi waved his hand, directly flinging the two little beasts watching the fun to the horizon, and pulled Chu Lingwei into his arms. "How could Senior Disciple Brother possibly feel about Vivian?"
"That's not necessarily true." Sweetness welled up in Chu Lingwei's heart, but she spoke the opposite.
Leng Xingzhi took Chu Lingwei's hand and placed it on his chest. Suddenly, a red light emitted from Leng Xingzhi's chest, enveloping Chu Lingwei's hand.
"Senior Disciple Brother!" This sudden action startled Chu Lingwei. She wanted to retract her hand but found her body motionless.
"Vivian, feel it carefully."
Leng Xingzhi gently exerted force, pulling Chu Lingwei closer to him.
Chu Lingwei's heart began to pound. She felt something enveloping her, warm.
"What is this?" Chu Lingwei asked, confused.
Leng Xingzhi looked into Chu Lingwei's eyes and did not answer. Looking at Chu Lingwei's face, he wanted to protect her with everything he had in this life.
Chu Lingwei kept staring at her hand and noticed that within the glow, there seemed to be faint incantations. Gradually, she seemed to hear the heartbeat of her Senior Disciple Brother.
His heart was beating very fast.
The red light slowly disappeared, and Chu Lingwei withdrew her hand. Nothing was left on it, but she felt something had changed.
"Senior Disciple Brother, what did you just do?" Chu Lingwei believed her Senior Disciple Brother must have done something.
"From now on, you can summon my spirit beasts at will, and my magic artifacts. You can know my whereabouts anytime." Leng Xingzhi grasped her hand, and a mantra appeared in Chu Lingwei's mind. "Try it."
Chu Lingwei looked at Leng Xingzhi in shock, unsure how to react.
Her Senior Disciple Brother was essentially giving her everything he had.
"Senior Disciple Brother..." Chu Lingwei's eyes were slightly red. She had just been joking.
"Why are you crying? If I don't do this, how can I be at ease?" Leng Xingzhi stepped forward, gently kissed away Chu Lingwei's falling tear, and murmured, "I don't want to go through the same thing as Ru Feng again."
Hearing Leng Xingzhi's jealous words, Chu Lingwei burst into laughter.
"Senior Disciple Brother, why are you so petty?" She had nothing with Ru Feng; truly nothing at all.
"Vivian is too beautiful; I'm afraid you'll be coveted by others." Leng Xingzhi held Chu Lingwei in his arms. "This way, I will no longer worry."
Listening to her Senior Disciple Brother, Chu Lingwei was touched and found it amusing. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Clearly, he had given her everything he had. He should be the one most worried.
"Senior Disciple Brother!"
Just as Chu Lingwei was about to speak, her chest suddenly ached, and she collapsed into Leng Xingzhi's arms.
"Vivian!"
Chu Lingwei felt her internal spiritual power rapidly disappearing. She couldn't control it even if she wanted to.
Leng Xingzhi's eyes darkened, and he injected a surge of spiritual power into Chu Lingwei's body.
Chu Lingwei closed her eyes. She wanted to integrate the spiritual power her Senior Disciple Brother injected into her body for her own use. Suddenly, the shadow of a large tree appeared in her mind.
"Urgh!" A wave of pain struck Chu Lingwei's soul, leaving her immobile.
A quarter of an hour later, Chu Lingwei's body felt as if it had been pulled out of water, utterly devoid of strength.
"Vivian, Vivian..." Leng Xingzhi held Chu Lingwei slightly higher, fed her a pill, and asked, "Are you feeling any better?"
"Senior Disciple Brother, I think I saw a tree." Chu Lingwei's voice was weak, each word requiring all her strength.
"Yes, that tree is now in the Leng family. I'll take you to see it later." Leng Xingzhi held Chu Lingwei and disappeared from his spot.
Leng Xingzhi placed Chu Lingwei on the bed and watched the surrounding spiritual energy gather towards her body. He finally felt at ease. "Don't worry about anything, just rest until your body recovers."
Chu Lingwei nodded, closed her eyes, and began to guide the spiritual energy entering her body.
Her spiritual power had been depleted, and her body was very weak; it was not the time to be confused.
An hour later.
Chu Lingwei sat up from the bed and couldn't help but let out a wry smile. All the nine-tailed ice fish she had eaten in Spirit Dragon Gorge had been in vain; her cultivation had dropped to the middle stage of the Rong Tian realm.
"Vivian, come, eat this."
Leng Xingzhi brought a bowl of water with a leaf floating on it, devoid of any spiritual energy.
"Okay."
Chu Lingwei took the bowl and drank it down in large gulps. After the liquid entered her body, the spiritual power within her suddenly became potent and automatically merged with her body.
"Senior Disciple Brother, my spiritual power suddenly disappeared. Was it absorbed by that tree?" Chu Lingwei put down the bowl, recalling the tree in her mind. "Am I really a member of the Phoenix tribe?"
"Your origins are something you should find out for yourself." Leng Xingzhi knew that Lingwei would rather discover it herself.
