Chapter 561 How to Prove You Are Lin Feng

Taixuzi looked at Lin Feng, with a hint of admiration in his eyes: "Okay, okay, young man, you have backbone. You can use the resources of Taixu Valley as you like." There was a hint of relief in his voice, as if he saw the passionate and dream-filled self of the past.

Lin Feng suddenly turned his head and looked at Taixuzi with a sharp gaze, which revealed a hint of eagerness and expectation: "Senior, are you serious?" His hands clenched unconsciously, as if he had begun to look forward to the scene of using the resources of Taixu Valley to practice.

Upon hearing this, Taixuzi's heart tightened slightly, a subtle flicker of panic in his eyes. After all, while Taixu Valley's resources were plentiful, they weren't unconstrained. But seeing Lin Feng's determined gaze and his passion, he still steeled himself and said, "Uh... that must be true." There was a hint of reluctance in his voice, but he didn't want to dampen Lin Feng's enthusiasm.

Lin Feng's expression instantly relaxed upon hearing this, revealing a slightly awkward smile. "I want to...eat first. I'm so hungry." He rubbed his stomach, the fatigue and hunger on his face becoming increasingly apparent. After a long period of soul repair and the emotional shock just now, his body had reached its limit.

Taixuzi seemed startled when he heard this, his expression frozen for a moment, but then he couldn't help but laugh. He breathed a sigh of relief, the tension and embarrassment on his face vanishing. "Okay, follow me." He turned and walked towards the secret room's door, feeling impressed by the young man's rapid change of mood.

Lin Feng followed Taixuzi, his steps a bit unsteady. He glanced back at the place where Hong Xing disappeared and silently said to himself, "Hong Xing, don't worry. I will definitely become stronger and live up to your expectations." Then, he quickened his pace to keep up with Taixuzi.

Taixuzi was the first to step out of the secret room. He was tall and steady, his long robe fluttering gently in the mountain breeze, his silver hair gleaming in the morning light, and the wrinkles carved by the years on his face also hid a sense of relief.

Lin Feng then emerged from the chamber. He took a deep breath, the fresh air instantly filling his chest. He looked up at the sky, the golden sunlight pouring down on his face, warm and cozy. "Finally out! I missed it so much," Lin Feng muttered to himself, his voice tinged with the emotion of surviving a catastrophe and the joy of a new life.

Just then, hurried footsteps could be heard from a distance. Chen Xin'er and Chen Yu, having heard the secret room open, hurried over. Chen Xin'er was dressed in a pale pink dress, the hem of which fluttered slightly as she ran, like a peach blossom swaying in the wind. Her hair was a little disheveled, the strands on her forehead stained by sweat and sticking to her cheeks. Her once bright eyes were now bloodshot, filled with anxiety and worry.

The moment she saw Lin Feng, a flash of surprise flashed across her eyes, and her steps subconsciously quickened, as if she was about to dash to his side. But then, her expression became alert again, and her hand quickly and nimbly grasped the hilt of the sword. With a "swish", she drew the sword, the tip pointing directly at Lin Feng's neck. The movement was smooth and efficient, with the agility of a martial artist.

"Star Blade, how's Lin Feng?" Chen Xin'er's voice trembled with anger. She stared at Lin Feng intently, her eyes seemingly seeing through him. If Lin Feng showed even the slightest sign of abnormality, she would strike without hesitation. In her heart, Lin Feng's safety was paramount, and the complex connection between the Star Blade and Lin Feng's soul forced her to be cautious with this person who looked like Lin Feng.

Lin Feng's eyes filled with excitement when he saw Chen Xin'er. He eagerly took a step forward, but was stopped by Chen Xin'er's sword. His eyes widened instantly, and a panicked expression appeared on his face. He subconsciously raised his hands and waved them slightly, trying to comfort Chen Xin'er. "Xin'er, I'm Lin Feng. I'm back." There was a hint of grievance in his voice, as if he was complaining about Chen Xin'er's suspicion of him, but more of it was the joy of reunion.

A flicker of emotion flashed across Chen Xiner's eyes, and the hand holding the sword trembled slightly. She missed Lin Feng so much, and the man in front of her now seemed so familiar, but after all they had gone through, she didn't dare to trust him easily. She bit her lip, her lower lip turning slightly white from biting it. She tried to calm herself down, and said in a trembling voice, pretending to be calm, "How do you prove it?"

Lin Feng was slightly stunned, his mind quickly recalling every detail of their relationship. His eyes lit up, as if suddenly remembering something, and he said, "The Emperor granted us our marriage, and I even competed with Huang Tian." A hint of pride crossed his face, as if he was anticipating Chen Xiner's approval. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and his eyes sparkled.

Chen Xiner frowned, her eyes revealing a hint of disappointment, and her tone was filled with dissatisfaction: "Everyone knows about this matter. You will know if you ask around. Let me tell you something that only the two of us know." She stared at Lin Feng closely, not missing any of his expressions. The sword in her hand was still pointing steadily at Lin Feng's neck, without any relaxation.

Lin Feng scratched his head, a mischievous smile suddenly appearing on his face, just like when they first met. "Okay, okay, your weight is..." Before he could finish his words, Chen Xiner's face instantly flushed red, from cheeks to ears.

"You're looking for death!" Chen Xin'er feigned anger and shouted delicately, but a hint of shyness flashed in her eyes. With a twist of her wrist, she swung her sword towards Lin Feng. Her sword moves were sharp, reflecting her daily sword training. However, a closer look revealed that the sword's trajectory cleverly avoided Lin Feng's vital points.

Lin Feng turned pale with fear. His smiling face instantly turned panic-stricken, his eyes widening as he quickly dodged to the side. He begged for mercy as he dodged, his voice trembling slightly, "I was wrong, Xin'er, I won't say anything nonsense." He stepped back in panic, the stones under his feet crunching.

Chen Xin'er persisted. Her swordsmanship was agile and varied, each strike laced with anger yet a touch of intimacy. "If you're brave enough, don't hide!" Her hair flew with her movements, but a faint smile lingered in her eyes, a complex mixture of joy and anger after a long separation.

The two of them chased each other through the valley, Lin Feng dodging left and right, Chen Xiner pressing on. The surrounding Taixu Valley disciples were stunned at first, then smiled at each other. They watched this pair of happy enemies and were also happy for Lin Feng's safe return. Some disciples couldn't help but whisper, their faces filled with relaxed smiles.

"It seems that Lin Feng is really back. This familiar fight is exactly the same as before."

"Yes, Miss Chen has been worried about Lin Feng for the past few months. Now that she sees that Lin Feng is safe, she is finally relieved."
