At that moment, the figure in the white robe at the top of the stairs let out a hearty laugh.
Then, Xia Ruofei saw him stand up from his seat and walk down the stairs step by step. He walked towards Xia Ruofei and Chen Xuan with a look of interest on his face.
Xia Ruofei realized that unknowingly, he could already see Chen Nanfeng's face clearly.
Chen Nanfeng's appearance was still very handsome. Dressed in a long robe, he gave off the feeling of a tree that stood in the wind. Furthermore, his hair was black, and there were no wrinkles on his forehead or face. His skin looked extremely glossy and elastic. From his appearance, he looked at most 30 or 40 years old.
If he had not known beforehand, Xia Ruofei would never have believed that this was Chen Xuan's father.
Furthermore, according to Chen Nanfeng's old age, his actual age was already 200 or 300 years old.
It was obvious that Chen Xuan and Chen Nanfeng had many similarities. When the two of them stood together, it was as if they were biological brothers.
The only thing that made Xia Ruofei feel a trace of extraordinariness was probably Chen Nanfeng's eyes.
Chen Nanfeng's eyes were not particularly big, but they were very spirited. It was as if they were emitting a mysterious light that made people involuntarily indulge in them.
Xia Ruofei knew that this was a manifestation of Chen Nanfeng's extremely high Spiritual Power cultivation.
"Xia You, Xuan 'er has already told me about the auction. Thank you so much!" Chen Nanfeng said with a smile.
"Sect Leader Chen, you're too polite!" Xia Ruofei bowed slightly. "I just lent some Spirit Stones to Brother Chen for an emergency. It's not a big deal. It's just a small matter. Sect Leader Chen, you don't have to worry about it!"
Chen Nanfeng waved his hand and said, "A hundred thousand Spirit Stones is naturally nothing under normal circumstances. However, during the auction, if not for Xia You's Spirit Stones, we would have missed the opportunity to obtain the Five Sages Token. As the saying goes, it's easy to add flowers to embroidery, but difficult to provide timely assistance. I, Chen Nanfeng, and the entire sect will never forget Xia You's favor! "
"You're too kind," Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
He did not continue the topic. Regardless of whether Chen Nanfeng was sincerely thanking him or just being polite, it was over. He did not really think that he had become an esteemed guest or benefactor of the sect.
"I heard from Xuan 'er that Xia You're very interested in our wild tea?" Chen Nanfeng asked with a gentle smile.
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Last time, it was also thanks to Brother Cheng that I was fortunate enough to taste the wild tea and was immediately shocked. Although Brother Chen has also tried many times in the past, as well as some other seniors in the cultivation world, hoping to use cuttings to propagate wild tea, none of them succeeded. However, this junior still wants to try his luck. I hope Sect Master Chen can grant my wish! "
...................... by....................
"Thank you very much, Sect Leader Chen!" Xia Ruofei quickly bowed.
........ . "Chen Nanfeng smiled." In your words, this is just a small matter for my sect. "
Then, Chen Nanfeng asked casually, "By the way, Xia You, did your master have any special instructions for you to cultivate in the secular world this time?"
Xia Ruofei's expression was normal, but there was a hint of embarrassment in his eyes. He said, "Sect Leader Chen … My master has repeatedly instructed me not to reveal any information about him when I'm cultivating outside. I hope Sect Leader Chen can forgive me."
Chen Nanfeng laughed and said, "It's fine, it's fine! This is understandable … Some reclusive seniors don't want ordinary people like us to disturb their peace, so when their disciples cultivate in the secular world, they are very low-key and never mention their sect. "
Xia Ruofei's heart skipped a beat. He got a piece of information from Chen Nanfeng's words, and that was that there might really be reclusive Nascent Soul cultivators in this world, and their disciples had also cultivated in the secular world. It was very likely that Chen Nanfeng had come into contact with these reclusive Nascent Soul cultivators.
Xia Ruofei knew that his "Nascent Soul personal disciple" was just a bluff, but what about the disciples of the reclusive cultivators that Chen Nanfeng might have come into contact with? Was it a real Nascent Soul personal disciple, or a swindler?
He thought of Chen Nanfeng's cultivation level, especially the level of mental strength that made him slightly afraid, and felt that the possibility of Chen Nanfeng being swindled was not high.
Thinking of this, Xia Ruofei's interest in the disciples of the reclusive cultivators increased greatly.
In recent years, there had never been a Nascent Soul cultivator in the cultivation world, especially more than three hundred years ago. It was as if the cultivation world had been cut by a knife. Cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage disappeared overnight, and then the environment continued to deteriorate.
What was the secret behind this?
Presumably, those reclusive Nascent Soul cultivators should know something.
Even someone like Chen Nanfeng, the leader of a top sect, might have gotten hold of some information.
Although Xia Ruofei was very curious, he did not dare to casually ask.
He did not know if those reclusive Nascent Soul cultivators were related to each other, and even more so if there was any special relationship between those "Nascent Soul personal disciples". He knew nothing about all of this. If he rashly asked and did not answer correctly, it would immediately arouse Chen Nanfeng's suspicions.
If Chen Nanfeng found out that Xia Ruofei didn't actually have a Nascent Soul cultivator as a master and was just a rogue cultivator who obtained a great opportunity, it was hard to guarantee that he wouldn't covet the treasures on him.
Although Chen Nanfeng and Chen Xuan both looked righteous, and even Chen Nanfeng, the number one person in the cultivation world, was very amiable towards Xia Ruofei, giving Xia Ruofei a feeling of being bathed in the spring breeze. However, one may know a person for a long time without understanding his true nature. Xia Ruofei could not guarantee that the father and son would not covet the treasures.
Moreover, Xia Ruofei was now in the core position of a sect, and in front of him was a terrifying existence in the late Aurous Core stage, whose spiritual power was far superior to his.
Xia Ruofei himself was not sure whether he would have a chance to escape if Chen Nanfeng suddenly attacked.
Therefore, the seemingly peaceful meeting hall actually made Xia Ruofei feel like he was treading on thin ice. He had to deal with it very carefully, and could not make a single mistake.
Although Xia Ruofei was very curious about the sect rongzi of the reclusive senior that Chen Nanfeng mentioned, he did not mention it at all. He only smiled faintly and said, "I can't disobey my master's orders. Thank you for your understanding, Sect Leader Chen!"
Chen Nanfeng's face had a bright smile, and he nodded and said, "Understood! Understood! "
Then, he asked, "Xia You, I heard from Xuan 'er that he has invited you to participate in the research and exploration of the Five Sages Badge?"
"Brother Chen is too polite. I only borrowed some Spirit Stones, and he insisted on giving me a place to study and explore the Five Sages Badge," Xia Ruofei said. "Get up, I'm the one who took advantage of him!"
"Haha! We help each other, so there's no need to talk about who takes advantage and who loses! "Chen Nanfeng waved his hand and then asked," What do you think of the Five Sages Badge, Xia You? "
Xia Ruofei immediately became vigilant. He said calmly, "Sect Leader Chen, I only took a few glances at the auction from afar. To be honest, my understanding of the Five Sages Badge is limited to the rumors in the cultivation world. I really don't have any unique views."
"If Xia You is willing, why don't you study the Five Sages Badge now?" Chen Nanfeng smiled and said, "Thanks to Xia You, our sect now has two Five Sages Badges. However, after Xuan 'er brought back the badge, I also gathered several elders and disciples who have been studying the Five Sages Badge for a long time to study the new badge together. In the end, we still have no clue. Xia You is from a famous sect, so maybe you can see some secrets that we don't talk about? "
"This … is not very appropriate, is it?" Xia Ruofei deliberately showed a hint of interest, and said hesitantly, "Your sect paid a huge price to get this badge, I …"
"You won't lose anything by taking a look!" Chen Nanfeng said with a smile, "However, the Five Sages Badge is indeed an important asset of our sect. Although I am the sect leader, I can't act recklessly. Therefore, Xia You can only observe and study it in the meeting hall, but can't take it out of the hall …"
In fact, Xia Ruofei had no interest in the two Five Sages Badges at all.
This was because Yuntai Practitioner had clearly told him that only when the five badges were gathered together, would they be automatically combined.
Otherwise, whether it was two, three, or four badges, it was meaningless.
However, Xia Ruofei could not be sure if Chen Nanfeng was testing him, so he was still a little vigilant.
After all, according to normal reaction, it was impossible for him not to be interested in the Five Sages Badge.
When he thought up to here, Xia Ruofei deliberately pondered for a moment before he said, "Thank you for your kindness, Sect Master Chen. Junior really does want to take a look at this legendary Five Saint Token. Although junior's talent and knowledge are shallow and I'm afraid I won't be able to figure out anything about it, it's not bad to be able to broaden my horizons."
"Haha! Xia You is too modest! "Chen Nanfeng laughed and said," Since that's the case, please take a look at it! "
After that, Chen Nanfeng flipped his hand, and two tokens appeared in his palm.
They were the Five Sages Badges that Xia Ruofei was familiar with. According to the names of the ancient cultivation world, they should be called the Rising Dragon Badges.
There were no complicated patterns on the two badges, including the number one badge that Xia Ruofei stored in the stone room in the Ring-Tu space. Except for the different serial numbers, the badges were almost identical in appearance.
For Xia Ruofei, this was not a new blessing at all.
However, he pretended that his eyes lit up, and then stared at the two badges in Chen Nanfeng's hand without blinking.
Chen Nanfeng smiled slightly and said, "Xia You, please!"
Then, he directly waved his hand, and the two badges flew lightly in front of Xia Ruofei, floating motionlessly in mid-air.
Xia Ruofei could only take the two badges, and he had to look very curious and surprised.
He held the two tokens in his hands and observed them carefully, looking very serious.
In fact, his mind was not on the badges at all, but wondering why Chen Nanfeng suddenly took the initiative to take out the two Five Sages Badges for him to study.
Xia Ruofei did not think that an expert like Chen Nanfeng would do this on a whim, or out of appreciation for a junior.
He even felt that his so-called "Nascent Soul Stage personal disciple" identity was not much of a deterrent to Chen Nanfeng.
Therefore, at this time, Xia Ruofei did not dare to show the slightest flaw at all.
He repeatedly "studied" for a long time, and then reluctantly looked away, revealing a wry smile and said, "Master Chen, I really can't find any clues, I've disappointed you …"
Then, Xia Ruofei handed the two badges over with both hands.
Chen Nanfeng did not seem to mind. He took the badges with a smile and casually put them into his storage ring, then said, "It's normal that you can't find anything. We have an elder in our sect who has been studying the previous Five Sages Badge all these years, but he couldn't find any clues. It's indeed a bit difficult for Xia You to find something in such a short time. "
Then, Chen Nanfeng smiled and said, "Xia You, since Xuan 'er has made a promise on behalf of the sect, when the last Five Sages Badge appears, we will definitely inform you immediately and let you participate."
"Thank you, Master Chen!" Xia Ruofei bowed deeply.
Chen Nanfeng waved his hand and said, "You're welcome. Xia You, let Xuan 'er accompany you to get the wild tea branch first! Also, if there's nothing else, you can stay in the sect for a few more days. You young people have a lot of topics to talk about, so you can communicate more and improve together! "
In fact, Xia Ruofei and Chen Xuan were at least ten years apart! Chen Xuan was in his early forties. Although he could not be considered old in the secular world, he was definitely not the same age as Xia Ruofei, let alone a young man.
However, in Chen Nanfeng's eyes, there was no difference between being in his early forties and being in his early twenties.
"Okay!" Xia Ruofei said, "Then I'll take my leave first!"
"Mm! Go ahead! "Chen Nanfeng said with a smile.
At this time, Chen Xuan, who had been silent since entering the hall, stretched out his hand and made an inviting gesture, saying, "Brother Xia, please!"
Xia Ruofei bowed slightly to Chen Xuan again, then followed behind Chen Xuan and left the meeting hall.
Chen Nanfeng stood in the same place, looking at Xia Ruofei's back that was getting farther and farther away. A meaningful smile appeared on his face, and he muttered to himself, "This young man is a little interesting …"
Then, Chen Nanfeng said without turning his head, "Go and draw the real face of this young man, then investigate his situation."
"Yes! Sect Leader! " A voice came from the shadows, and then there was no more sound, as if there had never been a person there.
In fact, after Xia Ruofei entered the hall, he did not notice that there was anyone else in the hall.
If Xia Ruofei heard this, he would probably break out in a cold sweat. Obviously, Chen Nanfeng had noticed that he had changed his appearance, and even the person hiding in the shadows could easily restore his true appearance.
Chen Nanfeng still stood in the same place, looking in the direction that Xia Ruofei had just left, and muttered to himself, "Are you Xuan 'er's best friend or fated enemy? Ever since Xuan 'er came back from the auction, his fate has become confusing. Is this all because of your appearance? "
