I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God

Chapter 1540: Cang Sheng's Reliance

Cang Sheng said with immense pleasant surprise, "Brother Yi Feng, you are too amazing! Just a little guidance from you and I've improved this much. What is your cultivation level? Could it be that you are a Martial Spirit expert?!"

Yi Feng smiled and said calmly, "I just know a little bit. Your comprehension is excellent, and your foundation is solid. Not bad!"

Cang Sheng's smile was brighter than the morning sun. He continued to practice his sword, and Yi Feng guided him tirelessly.

This scene seemed to take him back to his childhood.

Back then, Cang Sheng's father was still alive and would guide him in the same way, though much more strictly.

Days passed by just like this, peaceful and beautiful.

Every day, Yi Feng would cook for Cang Sheng and guide his sword practice.

Cang Sheng, in turn, grew increasingly reliant on Yi Feng, as if Yi Feng were an elder to him, an elder like a father.

More than half a month passed in this manner.

Early one morning.

Cang Sheng still woke up early to practice his sword, while Yi Feng still sat by the stone table, drinking tea by himself.

Cang Sheng had visibly become much more muscular, and his sword technique had improved significantly as well.

That day, Cang Sheng went to the Situ Manor to collect his silver. After returning, he seemed somewhat depressed.

After lunch, he returned to his room and kept the door shut.

Yi Feng did not say much about it.

After night fell.

Hearing a noise out in the courtyard, Yi Feng got up, walked out of his room, leaped onto the roof, and sat down beside Cang Sheng.

The two of them looked up at the vast sea of stars, sitting in silence for a long time.

In the past, Cang Sheng liked to keep everything bottled up inside, feeling that he had no one to rely on.

But at this moment, he felt that Big Brother Yi Feng beside him was like a brother and a father, and a sudden urge to confide in him welled up spontaneously.

"Big Brother Yi Feng, I went to the Situ Manor today and heard some news," Cang Sheng said dejectedly.

"What news?" Yi Feng asked calmly.

"They said Master Situ is going to arrange a blind date for Third Miss."

Cang Sheng's heart twisted in pain; he felt terrible.

"Do you like Miss Situ?"

Cang Sheng was silent for a long time. Finally, following his heart, he nodded, his expression despondent.

"Do you remember what I told you in the carriage? A real man should dare to love and hate, without being timid."

"You only live once, so don't leave yourself with any regrets. Since you like Miss Situ, you should bravely tell her that you like her. Don't wait until the end when it's too late for regrets."

Cang Sheng sighed.

"Sigh, Big Brother Yi Feng, setting aside the fact that I can only live to be thirty, my current status alone is not worthy of Miss Situ."

"We are simply people from two different worlds. She is like the stars in the sky, while I am just an ant on the ground. How could she possibly like me..."

"How would you know the result if you don't try? What if Miss Situ likes you? What if Miss Situ is just waiting for you to speak up?"

Yi Feng paused, then said softly, "Don't look down on yourself; you are no worse than anyone else. And don't leave any regrets. Life is like a shooting star; although it is brief, there is much beauty to pursue."

Cang Sheng gazed at the vast river of stars. Watching the shooting stars streak across the night sky, a faint ripple appeared in his heart, and he became hesitant.

He was afraid that he could not give Situ Qingyi a better, more affluent life, and he was also afraid that he could not stay together with his beloved forever, which would only add to her sorrow.

Yi Feng's words echoed in his ears, and unknowingly, his passion was reignited, sweeping away his previous despondency.

"Thank you, Big Brother Yi Feng."

Right at this moment, there was a knock on the courtyard door.

Knock, knock, knock.

"Cang Sheng, are you home?"

Hearing this, Cang Sheng's heart trembled, and a look of pleasant surprise appeared on his face.

"Go on,"

Yi Feng rubbed the boy's head and smiled.

Cang Sheng immediately leaped off the roof and opened the courtyard door.

"Third Miss, why are you here?" Cang Sheng asked in surprise.

"I... I want you to accompany me for a walk," Situ Qingyi said, appearing slightly shy.

"Mhm..."

Situ Qingyi was seen wearing a blue dress.

Her waterfall-like hair hung down, and her oval face was covered in a rosy flush, as delicate and beautiful as a lone orchid in an empty valley.

"Where do you want to go?"

"I want to..."

The voices of the two gradually faded away. Yi Feng gladly watched their departing figures, then leisurely looked up at the vast sky once more.

Late at night, the moon was bright, the stars were sparse, and the chirping of insects rang out in bursts.

Cang Sheng returned to the courtyard in high spirits. He joyfully rushed to the stone table and sat down.

"Brother Yi Feng, I'm back! Um... um..."

Yi Feng poured him a cup of tea and smiled. "What's wrong?"

"I... I am now together with Miss Situ!" Cang Sheng could not hide his inner excitement and joy, his face full of a brilliant smile.

"Oh, you confessed your feelings to Miss Situ?"

Cang Sheng looked shy. He shook his head and said with a blushing face, "It was Third Miss who confessed to me... I was indeed very surprised, but after she confessed, I also confessed to her. After all, this kind of thing should be initiated by a man!"

Hearing this, Yi Feng was a bit surprised, but the two of them getting together did not exceed his expectations.

After all, he had seen earlier that Miss Situ also liked Cang Sheng.

Yi Feng smiled and said, "See, I told you, you are no worse than anyone else. At least in Miss Situ's heart, she thinks so."

Cang Sheng nodded like pounding garlic.

In fact, he had also felt Situ Qingyi's love.

But he had been too insecure before, feeling that he was not worthy of the young miss of the Situ family, so he didn't dare to think in that direction.

After Yi Feng's guidance, his self-confidence had grown quite a bit.

However, Cang Sheng knew that he had to work even harder.

This unexpected pleasant surprise made it difficult for Cang Sheng's heart to calm down for a long time.

He didn't even notice himself that a silly smile was constantly hanging on his face.

Right now, his heart and mind were completely filled with Situ Qingyi.

"Love is indeed beautiful, but cultivation is equally important. If you want to be with Miss Situ for a long time, you must constantly improve yourself. Only then can you better protect her and protect your little family," Yi Feng said sternly.

"Mhm, thank you for your guidance, Big Brother Yi Feng. I will cultivate even harder!"

Hesitating for a moment, Cang Sheng continued somewhat embarrassedly, "Big Brother Yi Feng, could you lend me some gold coins? I want to buy something for Qingyi to give to her."

Yi Feng took out a spatial ring and placed it in front of Cang Sheng.

"This... thank you, Brother Yi Feng."

Cang Sheng was overjoyed. He took the spatial ring and inspected it.

The next moment, Cang Sheng was stunned.

There were actually tens of thousands of gold coins in the spatial ring. This was a massive fortune!

In all his life, he had never seen so many gold coins.

Even the Situ family probably couldn't produce such a massive amount of gold coins all at once!

"Brother Yi Feng, this... this is too much!" Cang Sheng's hands were trembling, and he couldn't hide the surprise in his voice.

Yi Feng smiled and said gently, "Spend it freely and boldly. How can you lack gold coins when you're dating? These worldly possessions are nothing more than external items to me. Don't decline."

Cang Sheng was still in a state of shock.

It seemed that Big Brother Yi Feng not only had profound cultivation but was also extremely wealthy.

He truly hadn't expected that Big Brother Yi Feng, who was staying at his house, cooking for him every day, and teaching him sword techniques, would actually be a hidden big shot who kept a low profile.

Cang Sheng's gratitude was beyond words; he thanked him repeatedly, his appreciation overflowing.

In the days that followed.

Cang Sheng woke up before the rooster crowed every day to practice his swordplay diligently.

After his practice, he would bathe and dress up, then head out to court his beloved Qingyi.

This kind of routine made Cang Sheng feel incredibly fulfilled and satisfied.

Watching the smiles on Cang Sheng's face grow more frequent, Yi Feng also felt deeply gratified.

The stars shifted, and the sun and moon alternated.

Before they knew it, early summer had arrived.

On this day, Cang Sheng tidied himself up as usual and went out in high spirits for his date.

However, upon his return, Yi Feng saw blood on the corner of his mouth and a look of utter dejection on his face.

Cang Sheng did not speak. With red eyes, he swung his sword desperately in extreme anger.

It was as if he wanted to sever the resentment and indignation in his heart.

Yi Feng stepped forward, grabbed Cang Sheng's hand to stop him, and asked, "Kid, what happened?"

Cang Sheng felt incredibly wronged.

Looking at Yi Feng, who was like a brother and a father to him, his eyes reddened as he poured out the heavy burden in his heart.

"Big Brother Yi Feng, Master Situ found out about me and Qingyi. They said I am an orphan with no status or position, and that I cannot even offer a decent betrothal gift. They said I am not worthy of Qingyi."

As Cang Sheng spoke, tears spilled from his eyes.

Humiliation, sorrow, grievance, and indignation, all sorts of emotions flooded his mind.

"They said I wasn't worthy of Qingyi, beat me up, and forcefully threw me out of the Situ family."

Hearing this, a raging fire of anger ignited in Yi Feng's heart.

"Who says you have no status or position? Who says you aren't worthy of their Situ family? I will propose this marriage on your behalf! Dry your tears and follow me!"

With his hands behind his back, Yi Feng walked toward the courtyard gate.

Cang Sheng wiped his tears and followed behind Big Brother Yi Feng.

This feeling was just like returning to his childhood.

When he was bullied by the older kids in the neighborhood, his father would take him to their doors to demand an explanation just like this.

Finally, he, Cang Sheng, also had someone to rely on.

Not long after, Cang Sheng followed Big Brother Yi Feng to the entrance of the Situ Manor.
