Free Web NovelChapter 2409: Chapter 2408: The World of the Young
Long Fei couldn’t have imagined how fast information spread in this era.
All around Jade Island, there were layers upon layers of shadows.
Jade Island is now the Holy Land of the Yin Yang Sect, and naturally, not everyone can ascend it.
People could only watch from afar around the island, some even kneeling, worshipping like devoted followers.
Asu looked around and teasingly said to Long Fei, "You have a pretty good rapport; so many people have come to welcome you back."
"Not dying even though old is divine!"
Long Fei mocked himself, appearing with Asu above the Crystal Palace of Jade Island.
The crowd watching let out a collective gasp, excitedly shouting and cheering.
"It’s really the Grand Master!"
"Oh my god, I’m so lucky to actually see the Grand Master!"
"The Grand Master even brought a girl with him!"
"Indeed, the Grand Master is truly as legendary as they say: charming and handsome!"
"..."
A group of followers excitedly took photos of Long Fei with their cameras.
Long Fei stood with hands behind his back, exuding an air of grandeur.
After showing himself briefly, he quickly concealed his figure.
Inside the Crystal Palace, decorations were everywhere.
A group of Inner Sect disciples were extremely excited; only the first- and second-generation disciples were allowed to enter the Crystal Palace to welcome Long Fei.
The third-generation disciples were arranged outside the Crystal Palace, too numerous and packed everywhere.
The originally transparent Crystal Palace had now turned misty.
Inside the Martial Arts Field, Long Fei finally saw familiar faces.
Many old acquaintances, now surrounded by many young people.
Compared to before, they had obviously matured and aged significantly.
Like the Yin Yang Sect F5 from back then, their temples were graying and faces full of wrinkles.
Long Fei’s brother-in-law, Fat Wang, wore a gray robe, still with a big belly, and burst into tears upon seeing Long Fei, "Brother-in-law, finally seeing you. I thought I would never see you again in this life."
The young man beside him clearly inherited his genes, having a big belly, but with sharper looks and more spirited energy.
Long Fei smiled and asked him, "What’s your name?"
The young man immediately straightened up, excitedly clasped his fists, "My name is Wang Yingjun. Given the seniority, I should call you Grand Uncle."
Long Fei patted his shoulder and laughed, "Yes, yes, very good."
Though young, he had already reached the Nascent Soul Realm in cultivation.
Fat Wang, living to this day, had only reached the Nascent Soul Realm.
A Nascent Soul cannot undergo Divinity Transformation, leading to aging in appearance.
The people around Fat Wang all laughed faintly, and the group of young people began introducing themselves enthusiastically. "My name is Lu Youqi, my grandfather is Lu Buping. By right, I should call you Great Uncle."
"My name is Geng Zhishu, my grandfather is Geng Xiaojun..."
"My name is Zhang Haiyang, my grandfather is Zhang Yinyang..."
"My name is Tan Xiao, my grandfather is Tan Yaozong..."
This group of young people showed none of Fat Wang and others’ worries on their faces, all born at the onset of the Human Race’s revival, without experiencing despair, full of vigor and vitality.
Long Fei kept saying good words, despite looking not much different in appearance but addressing them as grandfathers.
He laughed, patting their shoulders, joking to Lu Youqi, "Your name is quite unique!"
Lu Youqi touched his head, "All the old ladies said the same. My grandpa insisted on this name, claiming it’s nostalgic."
Long Fei roared with laughter, "It is indeed nostalgic."
At this moment, a group of women approached, playfully shouting at Lu Youqi, "Lu Youqi, is your bottom itching for a beating again? Didn’t we ask you to call us sisters? Try calling one more old lady."
This group of female cultivators all seemed young, only appearing around twenty years old in mortal age.
Yet their seniority was significant within the Yin Yang Sect.
They were led by Lin Yingying, some freshly out of seclusion, others who had become leaders of their own sects, usually residing on other islands.
They rarely gathered together, having discussed things related to daughters upon meeting.
Lu Youqi and the young ones were very respectful, hurriedly bowing and saluting.
Lin Yingying noticed Asu beside Long Fei and said nothing more, merely exchanged glances with Long Fei and said with a natural smile, "You’re back."
"I’m back!"
Long Fei nodded and spotted the two young women behind Lin Shanshan.
Both wore long, elegant dresses, the brows and eyes resembling Long Fei.
One was delicately beautiful, with a delicate oval face, and willow-leaf thin eyebrows.
Another was full of heroism, with angular features, sporting sword-like brows resembling Zhang Ziling.
Lin Yingying turned around and instructed them with a smile, "What’s happened to you both? You always talk about your daddy, now that he’s back, why have you both turned into little mutes?"
The women behind all laughed.
"Hello, daddy!"
One girl, with red-rimmed eyes and a gentle composure, clasped her hands in front and bowed respectfully to Long Fei.
Another girl, bold and brash, shouted jovially to Long Fei, "You’re my dad? Doesn’t look like much!"
"You naughty child, watch your manners."
Lin Yingying tapped her head, causing everyone present to burst into laughter.
Lin Shanshan teased Long Fei from the side, "Brother-in-law, take a guess who they are."
Long Fei looked at the gentle girl and smiled, "This is Wanrong’s daughter, Ji Shuiling, right?"
Ji Shuiling nodded repeatedly with tears.
Long Fei then smiled at the bold girl, "You must be Ziling’s daughter, Zhang Xian’er, right?"
"What a lame name!"
Zhang Xian’er pursed her lips, clearly resentful towards Long Fei.
Long Fei wasn’t anxious, understanding their dissatisfaction due to his absence over the years.
He wasn’t in a rush; there’ll be plenty of time to bond in the future.
Curiously, he asked Lin Yingying, "Why are these two here?"
Lin Yingying and everyone chuckled, "These two grew up here, they couldn’t leave even if driven away."
Little Kirin called out from behind, "Daddy, now that you’re back, there’s someone to stand up for us. Xian’er is way too fierce, treating us brothers like punching bags. Look at my face, it’s swollen like this!"
Little Kirin, being the Kylin, now had cheeks swollen like a scorching casserole.
Zhang Xian’er raised her fist, flashing two little tiger teeth.
Born with strange phenomena, after three thousand years of cultivation, she surpassed all her aunts, having recently broken through to the Celestial Venerate Realm.
Long Fei, exhausted from hard work, had barely broken through, now on equal level with his precious daughter.
Zhang Xian’er had reason to be proud, born with a golden key, destined to inherit the Immortal King Star.
Compared to her father, who came from scavenging backgrounds, she was leagues ahead.
Ji Shuiling’s cultivation was slower, yet she was in the Mahayana Realm, unmatched among her peers.
Seeing these young people, Long Fei smiled, realizing he felt three thousand years older and was somewhat out of their rhythm.
