When Luo Feng arrived at Lonyu Star and met with his elder brother Hong at a restaurant, this happened within the Hou residence of Yinxue, located in the ‘Tianzang City’ among the 108 major cities of Lonyu Star.
Hou Yinxue, ‘Ji Tianzang’, had deep roots in the Qianwu Cosmic Nation. As one of the three hundred nobles, after the construction of this giant artificial planet ‘Lonyu Star’, a city was specially named ‘Tianzang’ and was managed directly by the Yinxue Hou family.
His power far surpassed that of the Holy Master of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.
Inside the Hou residence of Yinxue,
“Master!” A thin man with dark red skin and pointed ears, possessing a pair of emerald green eyes, knelt respectfully, “Hong has finally left the residence of the Divination Family and went to a restaurant called Morning Star Restaurant in Baodian City to meet someone.”
“That kid finally came out?”
A man dressed in a magnificent robe with silver edges was sitting on a chair. The man had black long hair and a fair face, with a pair of black eyes faintly shimmering with silver light… In terms of appearance, he looked very much like a Han Chinese from Earth, but his natural air of authority marked him as someone of high status.
“Master?” The thin man with dark red skin looked up at his master.
The Ji family, as an ancient family existing for over a hundred million years, had countless descendants.
Being of Ji family blood was nothing to be proud of; because the family was too large, it was very hard to rise to prominence. Everything depended on personal ability… His master, Ji Landeng, had worked very hard since childhood and had decent talent, eventually becoming a Cosmic-level expert!
Being a Cosmic-level expert naturally earned him important positions within the Ji family, with over a thousand inhabited planets under his jurisdiction.
However—
Within the vast Ji family, Ji Landeng was still at the bottom. After all, there were many Domain Lords and Sovereigns within the family, and even more Cosmic-level experts.
Originally, Ji Landeng was destined to live a quiet life, but when he casually took a maid as his concubine and had a daughter named Ji Qing, Ji Landeng’s fate changed dramatically… His daughter Ji Qing displayed astonishing talent from a young age, growing rapidly at an unbelievable speed, which immediately drew the attention and nurturing from the Ji family headquarters.
Later, she was even recruited by the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance as a ‘core member’.
A core member of the five major powers of the cosmic humans?
Each one was an extraordinary genius!
Although the Ji family had cultivated several core members of the five major powers over its billions of years, none of them were of Ji family blood, but rather geniuses born within their territory, the Xuejiang Star Region… As for Ji Qing, she was the first ever prodigy in countless years to be recruited early into one of the five major powers.
Even Ji Tianzang, the Patriarch and first-generation leader of the Ji family, the Hou Yinxue, was astonished and delighted!
Ji Qing’s status within the family immediately soared! She was regarded as one of the top ten figures in the clan, and even the Sovereigns treated her with utmost respect.
With his daughter’s status rising!
Ji Landeng, as the father, naturally saw his position rise as well… He was put in charge of dozens of star systems within the Xuejiang Star Region territory of the Ji family, quickly becoming an upper echelon figure in the Ji family.
“I never thought that during the years I was away from Lonyu Star, Xiao Qing would actually fall for someone from a remote, primitive planet. Hmph! No matter what, anyone who hinders Xiao Qing’s future, I, as her father, must help her eliminate!” Ji Landeng’s eyes flashed with a sharp glint.
Upon learning about his daughter’s situation, Ji Landeng immediately boarded a spaceship to return to Lonyu Star.
However…
During these days, Hong had been staying in the residence of the Divination Family. The Divination Family, after all, was a family of Immortal Deities. Perhaps the lofty Hou Ji Tianzang could afford to be indifferent, but others within the Ji family dared not show disrespect! After all, an Immortal Deity was still an Immortal Deity! Therefore, Ji Landeng had been unable to meet Hong until now when he finally found an opportunity.
Ji Qing was his beloved daughter.
And she was the reason Ji Landeng rose to prominence! He had climbed from the family’s lower ranks to the upper echelons because of his daughter! If his daughter were to fall, his current power and status would likely vanish…
“I absolutely will not allow it!” Ji Landeng clenched his fists tightly.
“Have someone lead the way, I am going to Morning Star Restaurant!” Ji Landeng ordered.
“Yes, Master!” The thin man with dark red skin knelt.
…
In the private room on the third floor of Morning Star Restaurant.
Luo Feng was conversing with his elder brother Hong when suddenly “Bang! Bang! Bang!” sounds of knocking came.
“Hmm?” Luo Feng slightly furrowed his brows.
“Come in.” Hong also looked toward the door.
The door opened automatically.
A tall, handsome male staff member respectfully bowed: “Someone downstairs wants to meet the guests here.”
“Who for?” Luo Feng asked in confusion.
“He says he wants to see a man named ‘Hong’.” The staff member felt the natural, faint aura of authority from the people in the private room, so he became even more humble. This was the real world… If he angered someone of importance, he might lose his life.
“Brother, it’s for you.” Luo Feng smiled at Hong.
“Oh?”
Hong looked at the staff member, “Let him in.”
“Yes!” The staff member respectfully withdrew.
“Who would want to see me? I don’t know many people on Lonyu Star.” Hong shook his head in confusion. Luo Feng laughed and said, “He can directly say your name, so he must know you well. Maybe… it’s that Miss Ji Qing?”
“Ji Qing?” Hong’s eyebrows slightly moved.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard coming from the stairs downstairs, the sound somewhat low.
Luo Feng and Hong both looked toward the door.
“Master, the person coming is a Cosmic-level 9th Stage and a Domain-level 9th Stage, no threat at all.” Dylan, the bald man in black robes sitting nearby with half-closed eyes, transmitted his voice to Luo Feng.
“Oh?” Luo Feng nodded slightly.
Finally, figures appeared at the door, two men!
One of them, the man at the ninth tier of the Cosmic level, had black hair and a square face, with fair skin, just like a Han Chinese from Earth. The other man, at the ninth tier of the Domain level, was somewhat taller, with purple skin, long fingernails that looked like sharp daggers, and eyes that also glowed faintly purple.
Judging from the way they walked, the Domain-level ninth tier man was likely a bodyguard.
“Hello, Hong!” The square-faced man looked at Hong.
“Who are you?” Hong looked at the square-faced man in confusion.
“Let me introduce myself, I am Ji Qing’s father… Ji Landeng!” The square-faced man said.
Luo Feng raised his eyebrows.
Ji Qing’s father appeared? Judging from the look, his older brother had never met Ji Qing’s father before.
Hong immediately stood up: “Mr. Ji.”
“When I heard about you and Ji Qing, I immediately returned to Lonyu Star from Xuejiang Star Region.” Ji Landeng looked straight at Hong with his eyes, “But these days you’ve been staying in the Divination Family’s residence. I didn’t want to disturb you! I came today without any malice, purely as Ji Qing’s father.”
“I understand.” Hong nodded and listened.
“You are very outstanding!” Ji Landeng looked at Hong, “I heard you performed quite well in the Genius Battle within the Qianwu Cosmic Nation. Although you were not recruited by the Virtual Universe Company, there’s no denying that you are a very excellent young man.”
Hong listened quietly.
“However, Hong.” Ji Landeng sighed lightly, “You are different from my daughter!”
“My daughter lives in the Ji Family, a family that is hundreds of times more powerful than the royal family of your Black Dragon Mountain Star Region. You are a lone wanderer who can travel with your teacher, without any attachments or pressure.” Ji Landeng sighed, “But my daughter lives in the Ji Family, where the internal competition is extremely fierce. In the Ji Family… once you slip up and fall, you will be trampled by thousands of people. Do you understand this?”
“I understand.” Hong nodded.
The struggle within the royal family is brutal.
The internal competition within the Ji Family, one of the super families in the universe, is even more intense.
“Therefore, my daughter Ji Qing cannot afford to take a wrong step, for one mistake would lead to irreversible disaster!” Ji Landeng looked at Hong, “And her relationship with you has already enraged our Ji Family Patriarch! The Patriarch’s anger has left the entire family in fear…”
Hong remained silent.
“Therefore!”
“I hope, for Ji Qing’s sake, you will leave her and no longer entangle or communicate with her!” Ji Landeng said in a low voice, “Don’t talk to her through the virtual universe network, and leave Lonyu Star as soon as possible. I hope you can disappear from her world… As long as you disappear, she will still be the most beloved child of the Patriarch.”
“And if you continue to pursue her, it will lead Ji Qing into irreversible disaster.” Ji Landeng looked at Hong.
Hong was silent.
Crack, crack~~~
Hong’s fists, hidden behind the table, were clenched tightly, his knuckles white, his face also somewhat grim.
Luo Feng slightly furrowed his brows.
“I am speaking as a father, begging you, let my daughter Ji Qing go. I believe you also hope she has a bright future, right?” Ji Landeng looked at Hong.
Hong stood there.
“I understand.” Hong nodded slightly.
“I hope to hear the news of you leaving Lonyu Star. Then, as a father, I will be infinitely grateful to you.” Ji Landeng slightly bowed, then turned directly and left with his bodyguard. From beginning to end, Ji Landeng had not even glanced at Luo Feng or the Immortal Deity Dylan.
When an Immortal Deity does not wish to reveal his identity, how could Ji Landeng and his bodyguard possibly detect him?
…
Inside the restaurant, it was quiet.
Hong, who had been keeping his composure, suddenly looked pale, then shook his head with a bitter smile.
“Brother, isn’t it ridiculous?” Hong looked at Luo Feng.
“Nothing to laugh about.” Luo Feng shook his head.
Hong shook his head.
Hong saw things very clearly, so although Ji Qing’s father seemed polite… the meaning behind those words was naturally clear to him at a glance. Ji Qing’s father obviously disliked him very much and couldn’t wait for Hong to leave Lonyu Star and disappear from Ji Qing’s world.
It was hard for Hong to bear being so despised by the father of the girl he loved!
“Brother.” Luo Feng patted Hong’s shoulder.
“I’m fine.” Hong shook his head.
Luo Feng couldn’t help but furrow his brows slightly.
What was going on with Hou Yinxue? Even if she was a super-genius, was she not allowed to fall in love?
What a joke?
