Chapter 1799: Chapter 1796: The Person We Were Searching For
"Xueer, this gentleman is..." Ling Feng saw a dignified middle-aged man sitting at the tea table, looking at him with a scrutinizing gaze after he pushed the door open and entered.
Cheng Minxue released Ling Feng and said happily, "Father, this is... Oh, whatâs your name!"
Ling Feng felt a very powerful pressure emanating from Cheng Minxueâs father, clearly identifying him as an expert in the Later Stage of the Firmament Realm.
However, Ling Feng also sensed a deep hostility from this man. Ling Feng touched his nose and said, "My name is Ling Feng, but I have no idea why I was brought here."
Cheng Minxue was about to say something, but her father stopped her with a wave of his hand: "Ling Feng, is it? Before we communicate, shouldnât you be honest? Do you really think your Facial Disguise Technique can deceive me?"
Ling Feng gave a bitter smile. Although he could change his appearance, it was never his true visage. There was always a slight inconsistency. It could fool ordinary people but not a master like him!
The muscles on Ling Fengâs face gradually changed, quickly restoring his true appearance from a weathered middle-aged man to a handsome young gentleman.
"Ah!" Cheng Minxue looked at Ling Feng, surprised. She genuinely hadnât noticed that Ling Feng had been disguised. Remembering how closely she had linked arms with him just now, her face flushed slightly.
"Xueer, what is going on here?" the middle-aged man asked sternly.
Cheng Minxue steadied herself and said with a hint of excitement, "Father, Ling Feng can hear my singing and understand my songs!"
"What?" The middle-aged manâs face changed dramatically: "Xueer, are you serious?"
"Of course, I am!" Cheng Minxue nodded and said, "How dare I deceive Father about such a matter?"
Ling Feng was puzzled, but he realized that ordinary people couldnât hear Cheng Minxueâs singing or understand the stories in it. However, he was confused as to why he could.
The middle-aged man took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Elder Cheng, come in!"
The door opened, and Elder Cheng walked in: "Family Head, what are your orders?"
The middle-aged man said solemnly, "I have important matters to discuss with this young friend. Strengthen the guard and allow no one in! Remember, no one!"
Hearing the Family Head emphasize it again, a trace of surprise flashed in Elder Chengâs eyes, but he quickly regained his composure: "Yes, Family Head!"
After Elder Cheng left, Ling Feng felt the atmosphere grow heavy, as if something significant was about to happen.
"Young friend Ling Feng, donât be nervous!" The middle-aged man wore a kindly smile: "Iâm Cheng Qianjun, the Head of Cheng Family of Canglan Commerce, and Cheng Minxueâs father!"
"Hello, Head of the Cheng Family!" Ling Feng nodded and said, "Honestly, Iâm still a bit confused. Could you tell me whatâs going on?"
Cheng Qianjun sighed and said, "Itâs a long story! Please have a seat, young Ling Feng, and weâll talk slowly."
Cheng Minxue poured tea for Ling Feng and Cheng Qianjun. Cheng Qianjun said softly, "I suppose you must have heard the story from my daughterâs singing, correct?"
Ling Feng nodded, "Indeed, Miss Cheng Minxueâs songs carry many stories, and I feel deeply touched."
"Do you think it is just a story?" Cheng Qianjun said seriously.
Ling Feng raised an eyebrow, "Is it not a story but something that really happened?"
Cheng Qianjun nodded, "Indeed, it truly happened, right on the planet where I lived before!"
Curiosity flashed in Ling Fengâs eyes, "Iâd love to hear more!"
"I remember it was thousands of years ago when the Star Core Power of our planet weakened to a certain degree, and there was no other way to sustain it. As a result, our planet was exiled to the Ancient Ruins!" Cheng Qianjun said slowly.
"When we first entered the Ancient Ruins, we were attacked by other races residing there. Their target was precisely our Star Core Power! At that time, our planetâs Star Core Power was weak, and Vital Energy was thin, which meant our strength was generally low. When faced with attacks from the natives of the Ancient Ruins, we had no power to fight back!"
"However, we refused to become someone elseâs servants because of this, so we began to fight back. But the disparity in strength was too great. Even with the determination to fight to the death, we achieved no results. Just when our warriors fell one by one into pools of blood, and everyone despaired, a Savior wielding a Giant Axe appeared!"

"His strength was exceptional. He led us in a desperate counterattack. He slew their experts, one after another, conquered their fortresses, one by one. During this process, we gradually grew stronger and gained the ability to protect ourselves! But just when we achieved victory, the Savior departed without looking back!"
"However, before leaving, he taught us a particularly strange language. He said that when we found someone who could understand this language, he would appear again!" Cheng Qianjun said excitedly, "We composed songs using this language. But for thousands of years, no one else understood this song. However, we never gave up, and today..."
Hope sparkled in Cheng Qianjunâs eyes: "We didnât expect to finally find someone who could understand this song. This means our benefactor will appear again!"
Ling Feng slightly frowned, "How do you know Iâm the one youâre looking for? Arenât you worried Iâve heard this song before?"
"Thatâs impossible!" Cheng Qianjun smiled faintly, "Only the direct lineage of the Cheng family knows the true story behind this song. Moreover, only the one the benefactor mentioned can hear this sound, as he said back then!"
Ling Feng found this very surprising, as he had never heard of such a thing before.
"Okay, even if Iâm the one youâre looking for, how will you contact him?" Ling Feng asked.
"Once we find you, the benefactor will naturally know!" Cheng Qianjun said confidently, "He is omnipotent and omniscient!"
Ling Fengâs lips twitched. Although Cheng Qianjun was an expert in the Later Stage of the Firmament Realm, he didnât expect him to be someone who indulged in personal worship!
Although Cheng Qianjunâs words seemed a bit absurd, Ling Feng could sense they werenât lying which meant they were telling the truth!
Their excitement was unmistakable. Besides, it wasnât like they had randomly met Ling Feng so that a master in the Later Stage of the Firmament Realm would need to concoct such a poor lie to deceive him.
