The Way of The Dao

"Little brother, I won't be disturbing, right?"

Figures suddenly appeared before Ling Tian and the others. Shin Wei and Xuanyuan Ling simply looked at these two people nonchalantly, slightly startling the old man and the young man.

"Do you need something?" Ling Tian calmly asked the pair who appeared unannounced, as if they knew that the two of them would appear at any moment.

"Of course not, on the contrary, I thought you might need some help." Feng Ye shook his head as he continued to watch Xuanyuan Ling and Shin Wei and tried to express that they might know about their unexpected visitor.

Feng Xiao was stunned at the sight of Xuanyuan Ling and although she had a veil over her face, this still could not hide the beautiful silhouette and divine body on her. Feng Xiao thought that this woman was clearly no less inferior in terms of beauty than her own older sister!

"There was only a little fuss, nothing to worry about." Ling Tian waved his hand indifferently. He also did not mind the change of name direction Feng Ye had towards him unlike the day before.

Feng Ye nodded but inwardly he was still surprised. Of course, with his cultivation level he could sense that there was a disturbance in the place, as if some fleeting battle had unfolded!

"These are..." Feng Ye asked curiously as he saw Xuanyuan Ling and Shin Wei, especially the latter as he felt his energy growing at a gradual pace.

"They are my disciples." Ling Tian smiled as he drank his tea.

Disciples?

Feng Xiao blinked in surprise while Feng Ye narrowed his eyes in the same manner showing a surprised expression.

Shin Wei's cultivation level could feel that he was reaching the Nascent Soul threshold, while Xuanyuan Ling had reached the Early Stage of the Golden Core. They were even still advancing at a steady pace as if they were cultivating in areas of abundant Chi while sitting alone!

This only confirmed the suspicions in both of them that Ling Tian was actually concealing his cultivation level....

"Nice to meet you, this old man is Feng Ye and this is my grandson Feng Xiao." Feng Ye still greeted respectfully.

Shin Wei narrowed his eyes and he only gave Ling Tian a glance when Ling Tian nodded slightly at him, slightly understanding what was going on, "My name is Shin Wei and I am his disciple." Shin Wei nodded his head calmly. Although his cultivation had not recovered, he was not concerned as he maintained respect in the face of a great powerhouse.

After all, he is one too.

"I am his grand disciple, Xuanyuan Ling." Xuanyuan Ling clenched her fists together and showed respect as she saluted. She could vaguely see Feng Xiao's cultivation base, but not Feng Ye's.

Disciple and... Grand Disciple?

"So, little miss is a disciple of this little friend?" Feng Ye muttered confusedly as he alternated his gaze between Xuanyuan Ling and Shin Wei.

If Xuanyuan Ling is Ling Tian's Grand Disciple while Shin Wei is his Disciple, doesn't it mean that the latter is Xuanyuan Ling's Master?

"Something like that." Ling Tian waved his hand lightly. He was too lazy to explain the relationship with his disciples to people he barely and only barely knew.

Feng Ye nodded slowly as Feng Xiao began to recover from the shock. After all, he is still young and couldn't help but be stunned to see young women around his age so beautiful.

"So... they already went to solicit your help?" Ling Tian looked at the pair, asking something curiously.

"Martial senior brother is smart." Feng Xiao nodded with some surprise. He regained his consciousness quickly, his voice and expression changed slightly and showed more maturity, but still showing respect towards Ling Tian.

After all, he is also a Young Master with great prestige and strength! Far ahead of his generation!

"Hoh? What did they say to you?" Ling Tian was not upset to see that Feng Xiao still held respect towards him, but intended to hold his own level as well and show that he had the maturity to speak up.

"The patriarch asked me to help deal with you and fellow cultivator Xuanyuan." Feng Xiao shot a glance at Xuanyuan Ling, remembering that Feng Rao had told him that there was an expert cultivator in the residence as well.

Feng Xiao explained shortly after Xuanyuan Ling had expelled the patriarch and the family elders, the patriarch went to Feng Xiao to ask for a little help, to take care of Xuanyuan Ling so they could retrieve the belongings they refused to return.

"They really have no shame, let alone principles..." Shin Wei sighed and a slightly disappointed expression appeared on his face, as if at the same time also showing that he already knew.

"And what will you do?" Ling Tian smirked slightly, looking with a hint of interest at Feng Xiao, quickly understanding his character type.

"This junior brother doesn't dare to think about it. I told the patriarch that I would think about it so that he would simply stop bothering us." Feng Xiao shook his head, being sincere. Besides, he knew that Ling Tian should have a great background like himself, a powerful origin.

Such a cultivator would not bother with trivial things.

"Besides, you're someone this junior brother respects and admires a lot. I'm not such an idiot to see what's right and what's wrong." Feng Xiao sighed as he remembered Simu Zhicai, the kind of young master who shames and creates bad opinions for others.

"You seem to have great awareness and maturity at your young age, unlike those young masters of whom you surely already know." Ling Tian nodded, approving of Feng Xiao's character and reminding him about this morning's matter, then turning to look at Feng Ye and saying, "You have a great grandson, advise and guide him on the right path and you will see how he will soar into the heavens with pride."

"Thank little brother for the compliment." Feng Ye nodded while inwardly affirming more and more that Ling Tian really could have a much more amazing and powerful background than them, having such mentality and serenity without showing arrogance or servile.

Ling Tian liked Feng Xiao's character. Normally an evil person would be more forceful than an upright and righteous person, since the latter would always take the right path and could let go of many opportunities that evil would not waste to become stronger quickly, excelling faster than goodwill. But when the righteous and good kind of person manages to finally step on the path to heaven and hold on tightly, he will surpass the evil people in the end and become one with heaven...

Moreover, although the world where cultivation exists is a cold, cruel and horrible place where most will change their mindset without any doubt, in the end, the fruits you sowed from your good deeds will last forever and the eternal loneliness that accompanies you at the top will become a fading dream.

Being at the top might be the adoration and dream that everyone has, but they didn't really know what it meant to reach that place. Ling Tian already felt what it is like to be there completely and look back, observing the blood-filled, cold and desolate path he took to get where he was...

If it wasn't for his strong heart and those special people he kept in his heart, Ling Tian fears he would have become another kind of person, somber, lonely and indifferent to everything.
