The Road to Becoming a Son-in-Law

Chapter 344 Plans

Xu Xuan stroked his chin, wondering what Chen Feng wanted to say so mysteriously. Xu Xuan nudged Murong Chen with his elbow and asked, "Do you know what Chen Feng wants to say?"

"I don't know either." Murong Chen shook his head and said, "She only told us to ask after dinner. Oh well, don't think about it. You'll know when the time comes. There's no use being curious now."

Xu Xuan thought it made sense, so he went to eat with Murong Chen. Anyway, it was time to eat dinner, so he would go find Chen Feng to ask after dinner. "Let's go eat first."

Curious about what Chen Feng wanted to say to them, Murong Chen and Xu Xuan went to find Chen Feng after dinner. Chen Feng was working on an account book and was about to leave. He had some things to take care of before he left.

Seeing that Murong Chen and Xu Xuan arrived so quickly, Chen Feng was not surprised, and simply said, "You've come."

"Hmm." Xu Xuan and Murong Chen stood in front of the desk. Xu Xuan asked with a mixture of doubt and curiosity, "Chen Feng, what do you want to tell us? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"It's nothing serious," Chen Feng said. "You should know that I'm not a local from Luoyang."

Xu Xuan didn't understand the meaning behind Chen Feng's question, so he shook his head and then nodded. Murong Chen, on the other hand, nodded and said, "We know."

Although Chen Feng never explicitly told them that he wasn't from Luoyang, he had inadvertently mentioned it during their previous interactions. However, Xu Xuan didn't understand why Chen Feng would suddenly bring this up.

Xu Xuan looked at Chen Feng with even more confusion and asked, "Why are you saying these things for no reason?"

Murong Chen, however, frowned and fell into deep thought. Murong Chen was always more attentive than Xu Xuan. When Chen Feng came back today and told them to come to him after dinner so he could talk to them about something, Murong Chen had a vague feeling that Chen Feng had something important to tell them. Now, Chen Feng's words confirmed Murong Chen's guess.

Murong Chen looked at Chen Feng and said, "Brother Chen, just say what you need to say."

"Hmm." Chen Feng put the ledger on the table first and said, "You've been learning from me for so long, you might not be able to follow me anymore."

"Huh?" Xu Xuan and Murong Chen were both dumbfounded after hearing Chen Feng's words.

Murong Chen: "Brother Chen, why don't I understand what you're saying?"

"It's really nothing serious," Chen Feng said. "Because I'm leaving Luoyang, I probably won't be able to teach you anymore."

"Huh? Chen Feng, why are you suddenly leaving?" Xu Xuan and Murong Chen were both taken aback. Chen Feng had been in Luoyang for so long, and their feelings for He Fei were obvious to everyone. They didn't know where He Fei's family lived, but she should have been in Luoyang for a long time. So even though Chen Feng wasn't from Luoyang and had only arrived a few months ago, they hadn't expected him to suddenly propose leaving Luoyang because of He Fei.

They may have thought that Chen Feng might leave Luoyang one day, but they never imagined that day would come so soon.

Chen Feng has only been in Luoyang for a short time, so why is he suddenly leaving now?

"Why do you suddenly want to leave?" Xu Xuan asked.

Chen Feng had no intention of hiding anything from the two of them, and asked, "Did Lin Shao and the others tell you about their background?"

Xu Xuan nodded, puzzled, and asked, "I heard them mention during our conversation that they seem to be from a place called a martial arts academy. What's up?"

"I'm their teacher, you know that, right?"

"I know, what's wrong?"

Chen Feng continued, "I have more than just these five students. There are some others who have encountered some problems at the Martial Arts Academy. I need to go back and resolve them. After that, I will need to stay at the Martial Arts Academy for a while. I don't know when I will return to Luoyang. It could be a year or two."

Aside from the matter of that substitute teacher, he has already taken so much leave from the Martial Arts Academy, and it's time for him to go back. Moreover, besides the matters at the Martial Arts Academy, he has other things to attend to, so his return date to Luoyang is likely uncertain.

"Because we are friends, and I have taught you for so long, now that I am leaving, I am telling you in advance."

Xu Xuan and Murong Chen nodded with complicated feelings and said, "I see."

"So, what was your decision?" Chen Feng said. "You haven't been home for a long time either."

Xu Xuan and Murong Chen exchanged a glance, both seeing hesitation on each other's faces.

Actually, although Xu Xuan complained about being tired from time to time at first, he got used to it over time. Moreover, he had noticed the changes in himself during the time he spent with Chen Feng, and his father smiled more often when he came to visit him.

Now that Chen Feng is suddenly leaving, Xu Xuan doesn't know what he's thinking; he just feels very conflicted.

Murong Chen said to Chen Feng, "Brother Chen, could you let Xu Xuan and me think about it for one night and give you an answer tomorrow?"

"Okay." Chen Feng replied coquettishly, since he still had some time before leaving, not immediately.

Xu Xuan and Murong Chen didn't say anything and went out together. Their rooms were next to each other. After they returned, Murong Chen asked, "Xu Xuan, what are you thinking?"

Xu Xuan hesitated for a moment, but followed his heart and said, "I also want to go to the Martial Arts Academy."

Firstly, they couldn't bear to part with Chen Feng, such a good friend, and secondly, they had heard Lin Shao and the others tell them what kind of place the Martial Arts Academy was.

As men, they naturally felt a surge of excitement at such a place. However, neither Xu Xuan nor Murong Chen had considered going to the Martial Arts Academy at the time. But now that they heard Chen Feng was also going back to the Martial Arts Academy, they inevitably started thinking about it.

Especially for Xu Xuan, if Chen Feng leaves, he will no longer be able to continue learning from Chen Feng and will have to go back to inherit his father's family business. However, the Xu family's huge business was built by Master Xu himself. Xu Xuan has no confidence in himself. He is afraid that the family business built by his father will be destroyed in his hands. Of course, the most important point is that he has not had enough fun yet and does not want to inherit the family business so early.

As for Murong Chen, his body was previously a walking pharmacy. When he was about to be taken by death, it was Chen Feng and He Fei who snatched him back from the clutches of death. He was grateful to Chen Feng and He Fei, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that his life belonged to Chen Feng and He Fei.

After he recovered, he initially came to Chen Feng hoping to help in any way he could. However, in the end, not only did he not help much, he also ended up learning the moves that Chen Feng taught them from Chen Feng, along with Xu Xuan.

Hearing that Chen Feng was leaving so abruptly, Murong Chen felt quite uncomfortable. If he could, he would like to go to the Martial Arts Academy with him. If he could become more powerful, he could help Chen Feng in the future. Moreover, he wanted to continue learning so that Murong Yunhai would no longer have to worry about his health.
