Chapter 916: A Person Worth Befriending

"Brother Feng, you just mentioned, what would happen if I entered the Death Inheritance?" Yi Feng perked up his ears, smiling eagerly at Feng Lingbei, full of anticipation.

"Absolutely... absolutely certain death..." Feng Lingbei, feeling uneasy under Yi Feng's gaze, replied with a lack of confidence.

As soon as the words "absolutely certain death" reached his ears, a twitch ran through the muscles on Yi Feng's face, and an expression of delight spread across it.

Oh my.

Feng Lingbei's words were just so comforting.

All the frustration brought by that old man was instantly swept away.

"Brother Feng, I feel like we've hit it off right from the start. Although we haven't had a deep conversation, you seem like someone worth befriending. Truly a young talent from Fengyue Island, with limitless future achievements," Yi Feng said warmly, grasping Feng Lingbei's hands with sincerity.

"Uh..."

Feng Lingbei was at a loss, unsure of how to respond.

Especially feeling Yi Feng's genuine sincerity and warmth, he felt a bit embarrassed.

Due to the bet between Feng Qianyue and Bai Qi, even though he knew from Feng Qianyue that Yi Feng's status and strength were extraordinary, he had always held a prejudice against Yi Feng and hadn't treated him well.

But he never expected that this person would repay his hostility with kindness, not only not blaming him but also praising him so sincerely and calmly.

A sense of guilt welled up in him.

"Thank you for the praise, I dare not accept it," Feng Lingbei quickly said. "And I dare not accept being called 'Brother Feng.' In terms of strength and seniority, I should address you as senior. It's you who have a heart as vast as the ocean. Despite my disrespect, you not only didn't blame me but also praised me so highly, making me feel utterly ashamed."

As he spoke, Feng Lingbei lowered his head in embarrassment.

"Hey, what are you talking about? How could I blame you for such a small matter? From our conversation, I can tell that Brother Feng is not only someone worth befriending but also a person of true character. With your temperament, your future achievements will surely be remarkable," Yi Feng said with admiration.

Feng Lingbei was deeply moved.

Although he and Feng Qianyue were siblings, he had always been overshadowed by his sister.

Since childhood, his father had been particularly strict with him, often saying that his impetuous nature would prevent him from achieving great things.

Now, although he had followed his sister to become a disciple of the island master, his qualification was largely due to his sister's influence. In terms of cultivation talent, he was just barely qualified. Under normal circumstances, someone like him, who had just met the threshold, would never have become a disciple of the island master.

Although he had managed to become a disciple of the island master, he was usually the most inconspicuous and the least accomplished among his fellow disciples.

And the master paid little attention to him, leaving him to fend for himself.

From childhood to adulthood, no one had ever praised him.

So deep down, he was somewhat insecure.

But today, he never expected to receive such praise from Yi Feng.

Finally...

Finally, someone understands me, finally, someone can see my value.

It was as if he had seen a light.

And Yi Feng was that light.

Tears welled up in his eyes.

Moved to his core, he knelt down with a thud.

"Senior, Feng Lingbei is willing to serve you in any capacity. Whatever you command, I will follow," Feng Lingbei said sincerely, kneeling on the ground.

Yi Feng was taken aback by Feng Lingbei's sudden action.

This guy, just a few words of praise, and he reacts like this?

Beside them.

Feng Qianyue also opened her mouth in surprise.

She couldn't believe it.

From what she knew of her brother, he was usually quite proud, even rarely listening to their father's words. Yet, for someone like Yi Feng, whom he should have held a grudge against, he was kneeling and offering to serve?

She suddenly couldn't understand her brother anymore.

"Brother Feng, what are you doing? There's no need for such a grand gesture," Yi Feng quickly helped Feng Lingbei up.

But the more Yi Feng acted modestly, the more Feng Lingbei was moved.

"Senior, rest assured, I will do my utmost to help you successfully receive the inheritance," Feng Lingbei said. "Although I haven't entered the inheritance myself, as a member of Fengyue Island, I know more about it than most. I will write down all the precautions and dangers for you."

"Uh, no need for help," Yi Feng awkwardly rubbed his forehead.

Just when he thought this kid was promising, he suddenly became so clueless.

"However, you can write down those precautions for me."

Of course, Yi Feng wasn't looking to avoid those dangers but to know where they were so he could step right into them.

"Alright, I'll write it for you as soon as I get back."

"Good!"

Yi Feng nodded, then remembered the Bai Qi that Feng Lingbei had mentioned.

"By the way, what kind of person is this Bai Qi?" Yi Feng asked curiously.

"This person..."

Feng Lingbei frowned, his expression grave. "This person is extremely cunning and ruthless, stopping at nothing to achieve his goals. He has harmed countless people for his own ends."

"He is most concerned about the position of the next island master, and your acceptance of the inheritance is crucial to the outcome of the competition between my sister and him."

"If you succeed, then the next island master will undoubtedly be my sister. Conversely, if you fail, then the next island master will naturally be him."

Knowing that Feng Qianyue didn't want to reveal the bet, Feng Lingbei didn't elaborate.

"So, in short, Bai Qi will definitely interfere with your acceptance of the inheritance."

Upon hearing this.

Yi Feng raised an eyebrow.

Cunning, ruthless, stopping at nothing to achieve his goals.

This Bai Qi sounds like a real charmer!

And with such high stakes involved, concerning the position of the next island master, as Feng Lingbei said, Bai Qi has every reason to interfere.

This is a sure thing.

As for Feng Qianyue losing her chance at the next island master position if he fails...

She'll just have to endure it for a while.

Once I complete my nirvana and return immortal, I'll make her the ruler of a heavenly domain.

And Feng Lingbei, this person worth befriending, who speaks so pleasantly, I'll make him a deputy ruler.

Of course.

That helpful little charmer Bai Qi, I'll reward him too. Since he loves helping others so much, I'll toss him into the demon realm and make him the grand overseer of demon extermination for humanity...

Amidst Yi Feng's delightful daydreams.

The day to enter the Death Inheritance finally arrived.

Deep within the forests of Fengyue Island, all the high-ranking members of the island had gathered.

Before them stood a magnificent altar.

The altar was carved with密密麻麻的符文, so intricate and ancient that no one could decipher them.

At the forefront.

Led by the island master Xu Zhu, along with the other high-ranking members, stood the two sisters of the Feng family on the left.

And on the right, stood Bai Qi, with a cold sneer on his face.

"Feng Qianyue, do you remember what you said a few days ago?" Bai Qi sneered coldly.
