The Gene Warrior, who fought alongside them, had inexplicably increased its membership by seventy percent over the past few years. Whether in Huaxia or the Western Holy See, the number of Extraordinary Persons was continuously dwindling, while the Gene Warriors capable of mass production gradually replaced the status of Extraordinary Persons. If this continued, even if the four Relics and four maps appeared, the Extraordinary Persons would have already paid a heavy price. Was there still a need to compete?
"I can't answer that question, but I can only say, Old Cao! We are living in this transitional period, just like when Huaxia transformed from the Feudal Dynasty to the present era. Sacrifices are inevitable. However, right or wrong, everything we do has long lost its autonomy. The futile struggle continues, and all we seek is peace of mind. What we are fighting for now is merely who will take charge in the future," Jiang Xing said after a long contemplation.
"Old Cao, you are right! If Jie and the Church win this struggle, then perhaps the upper echelons of this era will revert to the past. Don't you think?" Li Xiangjun added.
At that moment, Cao Man scratched his head and shrugged as he sat down again. "I don't understand, but I quite like this relatively fair era. Reverting to the past is certainly not a good thing!"
In fact, it was just as he said. Repairing the Spirit Barrier was merely a pretext; Qing hoped to maintain the current social order while Jie wished to return to an era where power dictated law. This was the true source of conflict; as for the factors of Extraordinary Persons and Gene Warriors, they were merely tools.
Time flew by, and soon Xiao Yefeng arrived at Beijing North. Coming towards him was none other than the long-missed Liu Yiyi. Almost as soon as Xiao Yefeng stepped off the plane, Liu Yiyi rushed towards him. The guilt and longing he felt for her made him equally excited as he tightly embraced her. The two remained motionless for a long time, while the Wind and Thunder Envoys found it quite ordinary; after all, they had seen similar displays among the indigenous people on the vast African plains.
However, Sophia felt a pang in her heart as a strange sensation washed over her. But soon she dismissed it, thinking that this must be his other wife! Hmm! She seemed not as tall and appeared weaker than that woman; surely each woman held a higher status! She must be a concubine!
At that moment, Sophia scrutinized Liu Yiyi, her unreserved gaze making Liu Yiyi realize there were others present. Blushing, she released her hold on Xiao Yefeng. Faced with Liu Yiyi's gaze that seemed to appraise her like an object, she felt quite odd. After a brief introduction among everyone, they all headed back to the Metaphysics Society together.
Most members of the Metaphysics Society had already arrived. After greeting Jiang Xing and others, Xiao Yefeng sat down with Mo Fei. After all, Consort Mi had once been a teammate of Mo Fei, who was very concerned about her situation despite being married.
After sharing everything he knew with Mo Fei, he naturally omitted details about his unconsciousness and his connection with Consort Mi. Upon hearing that she had left alone, Mo Fei nodded and comforted him: "You're right; if she returned with you, those from the constellation wouldn't let her go—and they certainly wouldn't spare you either. It seems that Consort Mi holds feelings for you. But what will you do?"
Upon hearing about what happened to Xiao Yefeng, being wise himself, Mo Fei understood that there were things left unsaid by his brother after many years together. He simply asked about it since they were still in the presence of a smiling Liu Yiyi, who was with Xiao Ling.
"What will I do? Of course, I will come clean! I love Yiyi! As for my feelings for Consort Mi, they are unclear at best. Once this matter is settled here, I will confess to Yiyi. If she cannot forgive me, then there's nothing I can do; we must accept our fate!" said Xiao Yefeng, looking at Liu Yiyi.
At that moment, it seemed like Liu Yiyi sensed his gaze as she turned to look at him too. All he could do was smile back at her. Soon after, Mo Fei informed him about a man who looked remarkably similar to him. However, at that moment, his mind was in turmoil; he dismissed it as mere coincidence and did not dwell on it further.
Soon, everyone had gathered, and Xiao Yefeng introduced the Wind and Thunder Envoys and Sophia to the group. Jiang Xing also conveyed the words of the Azure Maiden to everyone. The meeting lasted for a long time, primarily as the Wind and Thunder Envoys and Sophia shared the cultivation methods of the Elementalist, while everyone attempted to grasp the concepts.
During this time, Xiao Yefeng and Liu Yiyi had already left the gathering. Standing by the hotel window, Xiao Yefeng faced away from Liu Yiyi, who sat on the sofa, lost in thought. Neither of them spoke; it was the first time they found themselves in such a situation. For a moment, neither was prepared to break the silence, and thus, a cold war began.
At that moment, Liu Yiyi felt as if Xiao Yefeng was drifting away from her. It seemed that their sincere love, which had been both affectionate and respectful, was on the verge of collapse. She couldn't understand why she felt this way, yet it was a palpable sensation. Her intuition told her that whatever Xiao Yefeng was about to say would undoubtedly spark conflict between them, and her response would determine whether they could continue together.
"Brother Feng!"
"Yiyi!"
Both were ready to speak first but were surprised when they spoke simultaneously. Their eyes met for a brief moment before silence enveloped them again. Finally, Xiao Yefeng broke the stillness: "Yiyi, listen to me! I don’t want to hide this from you. Of course, I don’t expect you to forgive me! You remain as perfect as ever; I just hope my words won’t hurt you."
"Brother Feng, you..." Liu Yiyi said with confusion.
However, Xiao Yefeng interrupted her: "This time when I went to rescue Consort Mi, although it was fraught with danger, I ultimately escaped with Sophia's help. But my relationship with Consort Mi stemmed from our connection through potions." He revealed everything to Liu Yiyi while she cried silently until he finished.
Finally, Xiao Yefeng took out two sheets of paper from the Tricolor Jade Ring and handed them to Liu Yiyi. Afterward, he slumped into a chair as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders. Although those events were beyond his control, they were still his actions. In his heart, Liu Yiyi was pure and innocent; he couldn’t bear to deceive her. Even if his honesty led Liu Yiyi to leave him, he refused to hide anything from her.
For Xiao Yefeng, seeking peace of mind was his guiding principle. Holding the two sheets of paper, Liu Yiyi stared at them for a long time, just as Xiao Yefeng did. Time flew by until it was already early morning again. According to the schedule, today Azure Maiden would come here to announce future directions for everyone, and Xiao Yefeng was one of those who needed to meet her. However, he felt no concern about this matter at that moment.
What lay before Xiao Yefeng now was a steaming bowl of noodles. Since returning until now, he hadn’t eaten anything. Liu Yiyi sat across from him in silence; while he remained indifferent, she pushed the bowl of noodles toward him and said softly, "Eat some noodles!"
"Is this the last meal you’ll make for me?" Xiao Yefeng asked as he picked up the bowl, tears welling in his eyes.
Looking at Xiao Yefeng, Liu Yiyi chuckled and said, "What are you joking about? You are destined to be my man in this lifetime. Are you really going to abandon me? You promised my brother to take care of me!"
With those words, Xiao Yefeng felt as if struck by lightning. His hands trembled as he held the bowl of noodles, tears welling in his eyes. "But what about the things between me and Consort Mi?" he asked.
Seeing Xiao Yefeng's agitated expression, Liu Yiyi's eyes filled with tears. Without wiping them away, the tears fell onto the noodles he was holding. Then Liu Yiyi said, "Of course I'm angry if my man is with another woman. But I'm even angrier at myself for not being able to fulfill all the duties of a girlfriend. Do you think anyone else would care about me as much? So, how could I let a fool like you slip away?"
"Yiyi, you..." Xiao Yefeng's hands shook as tears streamed down his face, falling onto the noodles. He covered his face in pain, while Liu Yiyi continued, "It's not a big deal. Once everything is over, we can just leave it all behind! I heard that Shate has no restrictions on the number of wives! Lucky you!" At this point, Liu Yiyi broke into a smile.
Xiao Yefeng managed to compose himself. Without saying anything, he took large bites of the noodles that were stained with their tears. One ate while the other watched, creating a warm scene that echoed in the room. As they revealed their feelings to each other, Xiao Yefeng felt a sense of elevation; with no more burdens in his heart, his Spirit Platform became clear. He transformed eighty percent of his Qi and took a significant step forward, filling the entire Spirit Platform with Primordial Qi.
After the transformation of the Spirit Platform, from now on, the Qi Xiao Yefeng absorbed would directly become Primordial Qi for his use. Unlike others who absorbed ten parts of Qi but could only utilize fifty or sixty percent of it, there was a qualitative difference here.
Holding Liu Yiyi's hand, which was still as cold as ever, they felt a fiery passion between them. After sharing their hearts, they became even closer. Upon arriving at the headquarters of the Metaphysics Society, they found that everyone else had already gathered and was waiting for their arrival along with Qing. After signaling to everyone, Xiao Yefeng and Liu Yiyi took their seats. Just as there was one minute left until eight o'clock, a slightly sickly Qing entered with Meng Lao's support.
The moment they saw Azure Harmony and Meng Lao, Xiao Yefeng and the others were taken aback because they realized that although Qing appeared weak, her condition was actually more serious than it seemed. Meanwhile, Meng Lao looked fine but had greater issues; it was evident that Azure Maiden was actually supporting Meng Lao rather than the other way around.
