Yecheng, Cheng Family Hall
"Father, the child is back!"
Shortly after the guards retreated, Cheng Zhouquan also stepped into the hall, then raised his hands and saluted Cheng Batian in the middle of the hall, with a humble tone and a respectful expression.
"Fei Ren, meet Senior Cheng..."
Following Cheng Zhouquan's footsteps, Fei Ren also stepped into the hall. However, compared to Cheng Zhouquan's respect, Fei Ren seemed much calmer. He only clasped his fists and saluted, with the posture and expression of a junior facing his senior. Neither humble nor arrogant.
"Are you the friend Quan'er made?"
After nodding his head, Cheng Batian turned his head and looked at Fei Ren across from him at the next moment, with an interested expression on his face.
"I don't dare to take it seriously. Mr. Cheng and I met by chance."
With a grin, Fei Ren shook his head.
"You don't have to be humble. At such an age, you have a cultivation level of the seventh level of the Zhonghe Realm. You can be regarded as a hero. And at the same level of cultivation, even the young people in Ye City are probably not as good as you..."
Seeing Fei Ren's humble posture, Cheng Batian gently stroked his long beard, with a hint of playfulness in his tone. As a powerful person in the high star realm, Fei Ren's Yuanli cultivation naturally couldn't be hidden from his eyes, and The Fei Ren in front of him has already reached the seventh level of the Zhonghe Realm at the age of seventeen or eighteen. He will definitely be able to break through to the High Star Realm in the future.
Moreover, Cheng Zhouquan was able to make friends with Fei Ren, an outstanding young genius, and it would be a good thing for the Cheng family. Therefore, Cheng Batian was naturally happy in his heart, but due to the majesty of his predecessor, he did not show it too obviously.
"Father, I am incompetent. Most of the guards who followed me out were killed or injured. Now only a few of them have returned..."
Seeing Cheng Batian and Fei Ren chatting happily, Cheng Zhouquan on the side pursed his lips, with a look on his face that was hesitant to speak. The next moment he gritted his teeth and said in a disappointed tone.
"What?"
Hearing this, Cheng Batian's face changed slightly, and his eyes widened, "Quan'er, what's going on?!"
In order to protect the safety of Cheng Zhouquan's brother and sister, when the two left Yecheng, he specially sent a dozen guards from the Zhonghe Realm to accompany them, and all of these guards were masters of the fifth level or above of the Zhonghe Realm. , but now most of them were dead and injured, and only a few people returned. How could Cheng Batian not be angry.
"It's not easy to be a young master..."
Seeing this scene, Fei Ren also sighed secretly, and then consciously took a step back. Naturally, it was difficult for him to interrupt in these Cheng family affairs.
"Father, when we returned to Yecheng and crossed the misty swamp, we were unexpectedly attacked by a group of armored crocodiles. These beasts have powerful magic power and there are more than 20 of them. In order to protect Lily and me, most of the guards died heroically and became As food for the armored crocodile..."
"At the critical moment of life and death, it was Brother Fei Ren who came to help us, and we were able to break out of the siege of the armored crocodiles and successfully return to Yecheng..."
There was a pause in his tone, Cheng Zhouquan's face was filled with bitterness, and then he looked at Fei Ren, his head hanging down involuntarily.
After all, the decision to cross the foggy swamp this time was made by him. The foggy swamp is home to a large number of yellow-level high-level magic beasts "Iron-armored Crocodiles". Cheng Zhouquan also knows this in his heart, and if he is willing to take a long way back to Yecheng, his gang will The guards would not die because of him, so Cheng Zhouquan felt a little guilty in his heart.
"You! I have warned you not to take chances!"
"You were lucky this time. Someone came to rescue you when you were attacked by a herd of armored crocodiles. But what if it happens next time? You rely on your own cultivation to be arrogant. Sooner or later, you will be killed by others!"
After the words fell, Cheng Batian stepped forward and gave Cheng Zhouquan a slap in the face. His face was full of anger, and his tone was stern and helpless, as if he was angry.
"What father taught you is...!"
After being slapped by Cheng Batian, Cheng Zhouquan's originally handsome and fair face was left with a bright red color, burning with pain. However, he did not dare to have any dissatisfaction and lowered his head again. After all, he had caused a lot of losses to the family this time. Fighting strength, and his own sister almost suffered disaster.
"Okay, where's Lily, is she okay? A little girl doesn't want to stay in the family to cultivate, but she has to follow you out and run around." After venting, Cheng Batian's anger subsided slightly, and then he said again When he spoke, his tone had to be a little slow, but his face was still stern.
"My sister is fine. She has returned to her room. This time, I brought Brother Fei Ren here to report to my father..."
Seeing Cheng Batian's anger fading away, Cheng Zhouquan immediately spoke up as if he had been granted amnesty.
"That's good. It's all thanks to little brother Fei Ren this time. Our Cheng family owes you a favor..." Hearing this, Cheng Batian also sighed, and then looked at Fei Ren next to him, his face softening.
"I don't dare to take it seriously. Senior Cheng is polite. Although there are armored crocodiles living in the misty swamp, they rarely act in groups. Mr. Cheng and the others were attacked by a group of armored battalion soldiers before. It can only be said that they were unlucky. It was a matter of luck..."
"And to be able to break out of the tight encirclement in the end, Mr. Cheng and his group of guards also put in a lot of effort..."
Fei Ren cupped his hands and smiled lightly, not deliberately promoting his own strength.
If the Cheng Batian in front of him knew that he had driven back more than 20 armored crocodiles by himself, and he didn't know that he would lose a few big teeth in shock, after all, he could fight an entire armored crocodile group alone with a cultivation level of only the seventh level of Zhonghe Realm. Such a thing would be impossible. This is simply unheard of and can be called a miracle.
With Fei Ren's current strength, he can fight even a tenth level master of the Zhonghe Realm. As long as the master of the High Star Realm does not come out, no one can do anything to him!
"Well...very good, very good, but you saved Quan'er and the others. Our Cheng family has always had a clear distinction between grievances and grievances. I don't know what kind of reward you want..."
Hearing this, Cheng Batian nodded meaningfully and spoke again.
"Finally it's time for the main event...!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Fei Ren secretly confided in his heart. After talking so much nonsense before, he finally talked about the reward. After all, he saved people in vain and did not get any benefits in the end. This was not like his character.
"The Cheng family is a first-rate force. It is an honor for me to make friends like Mr. Cheng. As for the reward..." After hesitating for a moment, Fei Ren finally said, "Senior Cheng, everything is up to you to decide."
The Cheng family is a first-rate force in Yecheng with a strong foundation, and the Cheng Batian in front of him is a high-star powerhouse. Fei Ren is not very good at opening his mouth to avoid arousing Cheng Batian's dissatisfaction. After all, this is someone else's territory. Being too greedy can lead to disaster.
"Okay, okay! Little brother, you are very honest, but I, Cheng Batian, am not a careless person. You saved Quan'er and Lily, and the reward must not be low."
"Let's do this. I have an intermediate spiritual ring here, and there are five hundred low-grade Yuan stones in it. How about giving it to you now?"
After laughing loudly, Cheng Batian took out a sparkling silver intermediate spiritual ring from his sleeve robe at the next moment, and then handed it to Fei Ren opposite, with a smile on his resolute face, and he seemed to be in a good mood.
