Opening the envelope and taking out the letter, Yu Daochen read it carefully.
The letter read:
Hen, when you saw this letter back then, you must have guessed that I was already inside this painting. You must have many questions, but what you're most worried about is my safety, and you might even be in tears.
"This..."
Seeing this, Yu Dao was speechless.
He was a hundred percent sure that this was definitely Liu Feng's letter. After all, besides him, no one would be so narcissistic.
Yu Daochen continued to read.
The letter read:
Don't worry, I'm fine, but you must not come in to find me! This painting is called "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains." It was originally used by Da Yu during his flood control efforts. It was later lost to the common people, and I found it. It contains an independent space. The fellows who came down this time were too powerful, and neither Qin Muyu nor I were confident we could win. The only method we could think of was this. To trap these two fellows in this painting and buy you time. Don't worry too much about me. Only I can unlock this painting to get out, so those two fellows wouldn't dare to kill me. What you need to do now is to improve your strength and absolutely do not rush in. Qin Muyu is probably already in a deep sleep and cannot help you. You must be extremely careful during the time we are not around, but with your grandfather here, you should be fine. I don't know how you are doing now. Perhaps we won't be able to see each other for some time. Take care of yourself—Liu Feng.
After finishing the letter, Yu Daochen looked at the small figure in the painting, feeling an impulse. He wished he could rush in immediately. But now was not the time for emotional decisions; he couldn't let their efforts be in vain.
Just then, Yu Shuntian's voice came from outside the cave: "Grandson, hurry out if you've finished reading."
Hearing his grandfather's voice, Yu Daochen looked at the small figure in the painting and said firmly, "I will definitely come to save you. Wait for me!" With that, Yu Daochen put away the letter and turned to leave.
Inside the painting world.
Liu Feng, covered in wounds, looked at Yu Daochen's retreating back outside the painting, a smile appearing on his face: "I'll be waiting for you!" This painting allowed one to see people outside and hear their voices.
Opposite him, one of the men looked at his companion and said, "I can sense the fairy is outside the painting!" The man beside him felt the same, nodded, and looked at Liu Feng opposite him, commanding, "Liu Feng, quickly open the painting and let us out!"
"Can't you let me see my beloved off?" Liu Feng said impatiently to the two men opposite him, "You two dare not kill me, and you don't know this place as well as I do. Can't we just sit down and talk?"
"Hmph!" The man beside him snorted, stomped his foot on the ground, and charged towards Liu Feng. Seeing this, Liu Feng glanced at Yu Daochen's retreating back outside the painting, a smile appearing on his face, and then he bolted. He knew the time within this painting like the back of his hand; even if he couldn't win, he could still hide. Even if he were caught, those two immortals wouldn't dare to kill him. At most, he would suffer some physical pain.
Yu Daochen walked out of the cave, and Yu Shuntian immediately sealed the entrance. Everything returned to normal. Seeing that Yu Daochen had not done anything foolish, Yu Shuntian breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that this kid would impulsively rush into the painting to fight those two immortals. Seeing his grandson silent, Yu Shuntian asked, "Xiao Hen, are you alright?" Yu Daochen regained his composure, a smile appearing on his face, and said, "Grandfather, I'm not a child. How could I be defeated so easily?" Hearing Yu Daochen say this, Yu Shuntian laughed heartily, patted his shoulder, and said with satisfaction, "As expected of my grandson, Yu Shuntian." Yu Daochen nodded and stated his plan: "Grandfather, I plan to go back to the Yan Huo Sect first." Yu Shuntian nodded, "Alright, you go. I won't accompany you." Yu Daochen understood that his grandfather didn't want to leave the little girl alone at home. The grandfather and grandson said their goodbyes at the subway station and parted ways. Yu Daochen boarded the subway heading to Yulin, Guangxi. He hadn't returned to the sect for over half a year. He wondered how Zhou Fu was doing with his training in the Hao Tian Fist.
"The cold wind of late night, do not blow towards her, her melancholic gaze is about to speak to me..." At this moment, his phone suddenly rang. Yu Daochen was a little curious. Who could it be? The timing was perfect. Just as he finished cultivating and was about to return to the martial world, the call came. He took out his phone and saw the display showed "Hao Ye." Seeing that the call was from Hao Tian Fist, Yu Daochen's expression immediately became solemn. Could something have happened to the Yan Huo Sect? Yu Daochen answered the phone, and before the other party could speak, he directly asked, "Hao Ye, has something happened to the Yan Huo Sect?" Hao Tian Fist on the other end of the line was a little speechless and said, "No, nothing like that." Hearing this, Yu Daochen pressed further, "Then could it be that Zhou Fu has had an accident?" Hao Tian Fist on the other end replied, "No, that's not it either." Hearing that it wasn't the Yan Huo Sect or Zhou Fu who had an accident, Yu Daochen breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Then what is it, Hao Ye?" "What is it?" Hao Tian Fist on the other end of the line said unhappily, "It seems Mr. Yu treats me as a free bodyguard." Seeing that Hao Tian Fist was a little angry, Yu Daochen looked confused, "What do you mean, Hao Ye? Didn't we agree that you would guard the Yan Huo Sect for half a year?" "Oh, Mr. Yu still remembers? Then tell me, what month is it now?" Hao Tian Fist said somewhat unhappily. Yu Daochen looked at the date and then calculated, finally realizing. Hao Tian Fist had agreed to guard the Yan Huo Sect for half a year, and now more than half a month had passed. Yu Daochen quickly apologized, "Hao Ye, please calm your anger. I just finished cultivating and am already on the train back." Hao Tian Fist on the other end didn't want to dwell on these matters and said, "I have something to tell you. My disciple is preparing to challenge Cai Liangyi, who is ranked twenty-eighth on the Earthly Ranking. You should hurry back." "Your disciple?" Yu Daochen was bewildered, "Your disciple is challenging an Earthly Ranking expert, and you're not staying to watch? Why do you need me to go?" Yu Daochen couldn't understand. Could it be that Hao Tian Fist had taken another disciple? Otherwise, with the strength of his last disciple, let alone challenging Cai Liangyi, ranked twenty-eighth on the Earthly Ranking, even challenging someone ranked forty-ninth would be a struggle. Just as Yu Daochen was racking his brain, he heard Hao Tian Fist on the other end of the line say, "Nonsense, Zhou Fu is challenging an Earthly Ranking expert. Shouldn't you be there to oversee it?" Hearing that it was Zhou Fu, Yu Daochen finally understood. He thought to himself, how could Hao Tian Fist have found a suitable disciple in such a short time? While most people didn't have many requirements when taking disciples, Hao Tian Fist was a formidable figure ranked third on the Black List. He had many requirements for taking disciples, such as talent, virtue, determination...
