"You wild kid from the country, how dare you barge in here? You really don't know the rules!" The eldest elder of the Chen family scolded angrily.

However, the second elder seemed more sensible. He looked at Lin Feng and Chen Xiner with a hint of curiosity and expectation in his eyes.

When the Chen family patriarch heard that Lin Feng was going to show off the detonator, his face lit up with excitement, and he said expectantly, "Really? That's great! I really want to see something that even a Grandmaster can't stop!"

Upon hearing this, the Chen family's eldest elder laughed disdainfully: "You're just bragging! How can a country boy like him make anything so amazing? I don't believe it!"

Lin Feng ignored the Chen Family Elder's ridicule and began looking for a suitable place to display the detonator. Seeing this, the Chen Family Elder became even more angry and continued, "Look at his arrogant look. He simply doesn't take us seriously!"

The Chen family's Patriarch and the Second Elder on the side quickly tried to persuade him, "First Elder, don't be angry. It's okay to let him demonstrate."

Chen Xiner stood aside, feeling somewhat afraid of the Chen family's eldest elder, but not daring to say anything. Growing up, she had always been most afraid of this stern elder.

At this moment, Lin Feng had already placed the detonator. He looked at the Chen family elder, and anger surged in his heart.

"Great Elder, you always look down on me. Today I'm going to make a bet with you! If the detonator I made can't blow up this big rock, I will leave the Chen family and never have any contact with them again. If it blows it up, you have to apologize to me!" Lin Feng said firmly.

Upon hearing this, the Chen family's elder laughed heartily. "You're such a whim! Shattering this rock? That's the equivalent of breaking the Grandmaster's protective Qi! That indirectly means even the Grandmaster can't withstand it. If a Grandmaster's protective Qi is broken, their bodies are just mortal, at best a little stronger than an ordinary person, and can still be injured by swords and knives. Do you really think detonators are that powerful?"

Despite the Chen family's eldest elder's ridicule, he still agreed to Lin Feng's bet.

Seeing that he agreed, Lin Feng stopped talking nonsense. He quickly lit the fuse of the detonator and then pulled Chen Xiner back to a safe place.

The sound of the burning fuse echoed in the air, like a countdown. The Chen family head and the two elders stared at the large stone nervously, their hearts filled with anticipation and doubt.

"Boom!" A loud noise was heard, as if the whole world was shaking. Immediately afterwards, a cloud of dust spread out, making it difficult to see the scene in front of you.

When the smoke and dust gradually dissipated and everyone's eyes were focused on the big rock again, they were all stunned. They saw that the huge rock had been blown to pieces, and the debris flew everywhere.

The head of the Chen family showed an expression of disbelief on his face, and his eyes were full of shock and admiration.

"This...how is this possible? It's really amazing!" said the head of the Chen family excitedly.

The Second Elder also nodded repeatedly, with an expression of appreciation on his face: "Lin Feng, you really opened our eyes!"

The eldest elder of the Chen family had a face full of embarrassment and shame. The words he had used to mock Lin Feng now turned into silent slaps, hitting his own face hard.

"I... I lost." The eldest elder of the Chen family lowered his head and said in a low voice.

Lin Feng looked at the Chen family's elder, and the anger in his heart gradually subsided. He knew that this bet was not only to prove himself, but also to make the Chen family's elder realize that he should not look down on others.

"Great Elder, I hope you won't judge people by their appearance in the future." Lin Feng said calmly.

The Chen family patriarch quickly tried to smooth things over: "Alright, alright, everyone, don't worry about it. Lin Feng, the detonators you made are truly amazing! I want you to make some for the Chen family, what do you think?"

Lin Feng thought for a moment and said, "Master, I can give you all the remaining detonators. But I have one request. If you have any news about the Nine Spirit Detoxification Grass, please inform me, and it would be best if you could deliver it to me. But I'm not asking for too much."

After hearing this, the Chen family patriarch immediately agreed: "Okay, no problem! I will definitely have people keep an eye out for news about the Nine Spirit Detoxification Grass."

Since then, Lin Feng has lived in the Chen family and spent many happy times with Chen Xiner.

On a sunny morning, Lin Feng and Chen Xiner strolled together in the Chen family's courtyard. A gentle breeze blew, bringing with it the scent of flowers and green grass.

"Lin Feng, let me take you for a walk." Chen Xiner asked softly.

Lin Feng looked at Chen Xiner, smiled and said, "Okay, let's go."

They walked slowly along the path in the courtyard, admiring the beautiful scenery around them. The sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves and cast patches of light on the ground.

"Lin Feng, look, that flower is so beautiful!" Chen Xiner said, pointing to a gorgeous flower.

Lin Feng looked in the direction of Chen Xiner's finger and saw the flower swaying gently in the breeze, as if showing its beauty to them.

"Yes, it's really beautiful. Just like you." Lin Feng said with a smile.

Chen Xiner's smile brightened after hearing this. "That's for sure," Chen Xiner said.

Lin Feng gently hugged Chen Xiner and said, "I feel the same way. I'm very happy to be with you."

In the days that followed, Lin Feng and Chen Xiner went shopping, chatted, and played together, their laughter echoing in every corner of the Chen family's home.

In the Chen family courtyard of Jinyan City, sunlight streamed down the ground, casting a golden glow. Chen Xiner and Lin Feng were playing and joking in the courtyard, their laughter echoing in the air.

Chen Xiner's smile was as beautiful as a flower, and her bright eyes sparkled with joy. She chased Lin Feng while pouting, "Lin Feng, don't run!"

Lin Feng had a smile on his face as he nimbly dodged Chen Xiner's pursuit and made some funny moves from time to time, which made Chen Xiner laugh continuously.

On the side, the head of the Chen family and Chen Minghui watched this scene quietly with relieved smiles on their faces.

The Chen family patriarch turned his head, looked at Chen Minghui, and asked, "What do you think of Lin Feng?"

Chen Minghui pondered for a moment, then replied solemnly, "He's incredibly talented. Aside from the heirs of the royal family and the sects themselves, perhaps no one can match his talent. Furthermore, he can also craft detonators. I believe no one in the entire empire can match his skill. If applied on the battlefield, detonators could absolutely change the course of battle."

The Chen family patriarch nodded, a flicker of admiration in his eyes. He also agreed with Chen Minghui's words. However, a hint of worry soon appeared on his face.

Chen Minghui noticed the change in the Chen family patriarch's expression and asked in confusion, "Patriarch, why are you so worried?"

The Chen family's patriarch sighed softly and said, "Alas, Xin'er will eventually marry the Young Master of the Nine Phoenix Pavilion. This story goes back a long time. The rise of the Chen family was inseparable from the help of the Nine Phoenix Pavilion."
