706: Chapter 706: A Peerless Genius 706: Chapter 706: A Peerless Genius When Li Ruonan brought it up, Li Canghai sensed something was off and turned his gaze toward Jia Jingwen.
Jia Jingwen shook her head and said, âI donât know either.
Back then, I was out playing, and when I returned home, I sawâŠ
that scene.
I was so scared that I just ran away crying, and somehow ended up in a small town.
Fortunately, people werenât as bad back then, and I had my familyâs cultivation techniques to protect myself, so I managed to survive.
If Uncle Li hadnât mentioned it, I wouldnât have known about the existence of two worlds.â As she spoke, her face was filled with confusion.
âChild, youâve suffered so much,â Li Canghai said with heartache.
He could imagine how difficult it must have been for a five-year-old girl to survive on her own.
At the same time, he marveled at her luck.
She had accidentally stumbled into a passage between the two worlds.
If she had stayed in the cultivation world, a talented but orphaned girl like her would likely have been captured and used as a cultivation furnace.
âSo, there are multiple passages between the two worlds?
Could people from this world accidentally stumble into the other one?â Ye Fei asked.
Li Canghai first nodded, then shook his head.
âItâs possible, but very difficult.
The spiritual energy in that world is thousands of times denser than here, so thereâs a natural repulsion force that makes it extremely hard to break through the barrier between the two worlds, except for a few specific passages.
Of course, with absolute strength, itâs possible to open a passage.
In ancient times, the most powerful martial artists were said to âshatter the voidââthat was them forcibly opening a passage between the two worlds.
After âshattering the void,â they didnât ascend to immortality as legends say, but entered the cultivation world to continue their journey.â âShatter the void?
Like this?â Ye Fei said, casually swiping his hand through the air in front of him.
As he did so, a black spatial rift appeared, releasing a surge of incredibly pure spiritual energy that lingered for a few seconds before vanishing.
In just those few seconds, the concentration of spiritual energy in the large living room increased by thousands of times, leaving Li Canghai and the two women invigorated.
Li Canghai stared at Ye Fei in disbelief, muttering, âYouâŠ
you can do it.
You can do it!â âIt doesnât seem that hard,â Ye Fei shrugged.
He had tried it on a whim and found it far easier than the legends suggested.
But Li Canghai didnât see it that way.
He looked at Ye Fei with excitement and said, âThis is incredible.
Youâre even stronger than I imagined.
I can rest easy knowing youâll take care of them both.â Ye Feiâs expression darkened.
âOld man, youâre not thinking of dumping Ruonan and Jingwen on me so you can run off to the cultivation world for revenge, are you?
Some âdo or dieâ nonsense?â âUhâŠâ Li Canghai was momentarily speechless.
It wasnât Ye Feiâs bluntness that stunned him, but the fact that Ye Fei had guessed his intentions from just a slip of the tongue.
Ye Feiâs words immediately alerted the two women, who turned to Li Canghai with anxiety.
Li Ruonan was naturally worried, and Jia Jingwen was no less concerned.
After twenty-two years of loneliness, she had finally found two relatives, and she didnât want to lose one so soon.
âUh, what?
Donât even think about it.
You might not care about dying, but I donât want my wife to be heartbroken,â Ye Fei said sharply.
This time, Li Ruonan didnât scold Ye Fei for being disrespectful to her father.
Instead, she was grateful.
If Ye Fei hadnât caught on to her fatherâs plan, she might have lost him in a matter of days.
Li Canghai sighed.
âBut we canât just ignore the need for revenge, can we?
I didnât act before because of Ruonan, but now sheâs grown up and has you.
I donât have any more ties holding me back.â âWhatâs the rush?
Youâve waited over twenty years; a few more wonât hurt,â Ye Fei said.
âWhen the time comes, Iâll take care of that guy for you.â âYou?â Li Canghai hesitated.
He didnât say anything to discourage Ye Fei, but his lack of confidence was evident.
âWhat, you donât believe me?â Ye Fei raised an eyebrow.
âIf youâre not convinced, letâs step outside and see whoâs stronger!â Li Canghai waved his hand and chuckled bitterly.
âFine, I admit Iâm no match for you.
But the cultivation world isnât an easy place to navigate.
Just the Wuji Sect alone has two Great Ascension stage experts, not to mention the entire cultivation world.â âWe donât have to face the entire cultivation world.
We just need to expose that guyâs crimes and bring him to justice,â Ye Fei said arrogantly.
âAnd letâs not forget, your son-in-law here reached this level in just a few months.
Give me a few more years, and Iâm confident I can handle a few Great Ascension stage experts.
So leave the revenge to me!â Li Canghai was stunned.
He ignored everything else Ye Fei said, focusing only on one thought: A few months?
Just a few months?
Ever since Ye Fei had made a name for himself, Li Canghai had sent people to gather information about him.
He had thought Ye Fei was pretending to be weak before revealing his true strength, but it turned out he had genuinely reached this level in just a few months.
At that moment, Li Canghai felt the weight of comparison.
He had been considered a genius in the cultivation world, but he couldnât hold a candle to Ye Fei.
Even the so-called greatest genius in the history of the cultivation world, the Lotus Fairy, who reached the Great Ascension stage at the age of one hundred, couldnât compare to this young man.
It had taken her ten years to reach Ye Feiâs current level.
Ten years versus a few monthsâthere was no comparison.
Li Ruonan and Jia Jingwen were equally shocked by Ye Feiâs words.
But unlike Li Canghaiâs pure astonishment, they felt a deep sense of pride in their man.
The saying âa womanâs heart is as deep as the oceanâ truly held weight.
Just two hours ago, Jia Jingwen had wanted to kill Ye Fei for his earlier actions, but in that short period, her heart had undergone a complete transformation.
Now, like Li Ruonan, she saw Ye Fei as her man and took pride in him.
After learning of Ye Feiâs incredible abilities, Li Canghai no longer thought about going to the cultivation world alone.
Before, he had felt hopeless about revenge and was seeking closure.
But now that there was hope, he had no intention of making such a pointless sacrifice.
With the atmosphere lightened, the group enjoyed a rare and heartwarming reunion lunch, especially for Jia Jingwen.
Halfway through the meal, Jia Jingwen suddenly remembered something and asked Li Canghai, âUncle Li, this morning Ruonan crippled Si Tianya for me.
Will that cause any trouble for you?â Li Canghai laughed heartily.
âDonât worry.
Si Tianya is just an ordinary grandson of the Si family patriarch.
He wouldnât dare to make a fuss over such a useless descendant.
Those old guys might seem imposing, but theyâre more cowardly than ordinary people.
Theyâre fine with bullying the weak, but they wouldnât dare provoke me.â Reassured by Li Canghaiâs words, Jia Jingwen relaxed and continued enjoying her meal, even occasionally serving Ye Fei food.
Her attentiveness surpassed even Li Ruonanâs, leaving both father and daughter speechless.
However, they werenât upset.
Li Ruonan had already come to terms with it, and Li Canghai saw Jia Jingwen as a second daughter.
He was happy to see her, after twenty years of hardship, find such a good match.
After lunch, Ye Fei didnât linger.
He had another matter to attend toâthe psychological trauma of his newly acquired disciple, Liliya.
He was about to teach her internal cultivation techniques, and if he didnât address her trauma soon, it could lead to inner demons that would hinder her progress.
Ye Fei didnât hide this plan from the three of them, as it was nothing to be ashamed of.
However, to his surprise, both Li Ruonan and Jia Jingwen expressed interest in meeting his second disciple.
Since Liliya was staying at Song Ciâs place, they were already somewhat familiar with her, so they insisted on coming along.
