When Luo Feng arrived at Qiongyu Star and met his elder brother Hong in a restaurant, within the Yin Xue Marquis's Estate in 'Tianzang City', one of Qiongyu Star's 108 great cities, Yin Xue Marquis 'Ji Tianzang' possessed extremely deep roots within the Ganwu Universe Nation. As one of the Three Hundred Marquis, after the colossal artificial planet 'Qiongyu Star' was constructed, a city was specifically named 'Tianzang' after him, and this 'Tianzang City' was also managed by the Yin Xue Marquis's Estate. His authority far surpassed that of the Holy Land God Lords of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. Inside the Yin Xue Marquis's Estate. "Master!" A slender man with dark red skin, pointed ears, and a pair of emerald green eyes knelt respectfully. "'Hong' has finally left the Busheka Clan's manor and gone to a restaurant called Morning Star Restaurant in Baodian City to meet guests." "That fellow finally came out?" Seated on a chair was a man wearing a magnificent robe trimmed with silver. He had black hair, a fair complexion, and a pair of black eyes that faintly shimmered with silver light... In appearance, he bore a striking resemblance to Huaxia people from Earth, but his natural aura clearly indicated a position of high authority. "Master?" The slender man with dark red skin looked up at his master. The Ji Clan, an ancient family that had existed for over a hundred million years, had countless descendants. Being a bloodline member of the Ji Clan was nothing to be proud of. Precisely because the family was so vast, it was incredibly difficult to stand out! Everything depended on individual ability... And his master, 'Ji Landeng', had been extremely diligent since childhood, possessing decent talent, and finally became a Universe-level expert! Being Universe-level naturally meant being highly valued within the Ji Clan, with dominion over more than 1,000 life planets. However— Within the immense Ji Clan, Ji Landeng was still at the bottom tier. After all, there were many 'Domain Lords' and 'Sector Lords' in the family, and the number of Universe-level experts was frighteningly high. Originally, Ji Landeng was destined to live a quiet life, but a casual liaison with a certain maid resulted in a daughter, 'Ji Qing', and Ji Landeng's fate instantly changed... His daughter, Ji Qing, displayed astonishing talent from a young age, growing rapidly at an incredible pace, directly receiving significant attention and cultivation from the Ji Clan's headquarters. Subsequently, she was even recruited by the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance as a 'core member'. A core member of the Five Great Human Powers of the Universe? Every single one of them was a super genius! Over hundreds of millions of years, although the Ji Clan had cultivated a few core members absorbed by the Five Great Powers, none of them were of the Ji Clan bloodline; they were merely geniuses born within their family's territory, the 'Xuejiang Starfield'... Ji Qing, however, was the first peerless genius in countless years to be recruited early into the Five Great Powers. Even the Ji Clan's Ancestor, the first patriarch, Yin Xue Marquis Ji Tianzang, was shocked and delighted! Ji Qing's status within the family immediately soared! She was considered one of the top ten most influential figures in the clan, and even the Sector Lords dared not show her any disrespect. His daughter's status soared! As Ji Qing's father, Ji Landeng's status naturally rose with the tide... managing dozens of star systems within the family's Xuejiang Starfield territory, he instantly became a prominent figure in the Ji Clan. "I never expected that in the years I was away from Qiongyu Star, Xiao Qing would fall for a fellow from a remote, indigenous planet, hmph! No matter what, as her father, I must eliminate anything that obstructs Xiao Qing's future!" A sharp glint flashed in Ji Landeng's eyes. Upon learning of his daughter's situation, Ji Landeng immediately took a spaceship back to Qiongyu Star. However... During this period, Hong had been staying at the Busheka Clan's manor. The Busheka Clan... was, after all, a family of Undying Beings. Perhaps the lofty Yin Xue Marquis Ji Tianzang could disdain them, but other members of the Ji Clan dared not be disrespectful! Undying Beings... were Undying Beings, after all! So Ji Landeng had been unable to meet Hong, but now he finally found an opportunity. Ji Qing was his precious daughter. She was also the foundation of Ji Landeng's rising success! The reason he climbed from the bottom to the upper echelons of the family was because of his daughter! If his daughter's prospects were ruined, his current power and status would likely vanish as well... "Absolutely not!" Ji Landeng clenched his fists. "Have someone lead the way, I'm going to the Morning Star Restaurant!" Ji Landeng ordered. "Yes, Master!" the slender man with dark red skin knelt and replied. ... Morning Star Restaurant, third-floor private room. Luo Feng was conversing with his elder brother Hong when suddenly, "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" knocking sounds echoed. "Hmm?" Luo Feng's brows furrowed slightly. "Come in." Hong also looked towards the door. The door opened automatically. A tall, handsome male server bowed respectfully: "Someone downstairs wishes to meet the guests." "Meet whom?" Luo Feng asked, puzzled. "They said they wish to meet the man named 'Hong'." The server, sensing the subtle, natural pressure emanating from the people in the private room, became even more humble. This was the real world... if he angered someone of status, he might lose his life. "Brother, they're here to see you." Luo Feng smiled, looking at Hong. "Oh?" Hong looked at the server, "Let him in." "Yes!" The server then respectfully withdrew. "Who wants to see me? I don't know many people on Qiongyu Star," Hong said, shaking his head in confusion. Luo Feng chuckled, "They can directly say your name, Brother, so they must be quite familiar with you. Perhaps... it's that Miss Ji Qing." "Ji Qing?" Hong's eyebrows twitched slightly. Suddenly, footsteps echoed from the stairs downstairs, the sound slightly heavy. Both Luo Feng and Hong looked towards the door. "Your Highness, the arrivals are a Universe-level Ninth Tier and a Domain Lord Ninth Tier. No threat at all," the black-robed bald man Dilun said, sitting to the side with half-closed eyes, transmitting his voice to Luo Feng. "Oh?" Luo Feng nodded slightly. Figures finally appeared outside the door; they were two men! One of the men, a Universe-level Ninth Tier expert, had black hair, a square face, and fair skin, indistinguishable from a Huaxia person from Earth. The other man, a Domain Lord Ninth Tier, was taller, with purplish skin, and his somewhat long fingernails resembled sharp daggers, his eyes also tinged with purple. Judging by their walk, the Domain Lord Ninth Tier was likely a bodyguard. "Hello, Hong!" The square-faced man looked at Hong. "You are?" Hong looked at the square-faced man, puzzled. "Allow me to introduce myself, I am Ji Qing's father... Ji Landeng!" the square-faced man said. Luo Feng's eyebrows rose. Ji Qing's father appeared? It seemed his elder brother had never met Ji Qing's father before. Hong, meanwhile, immediately stood up: "Mr. Ji." "Upon learning of your situation with Ji Qing, I immediately rushed back to Qiongyu Star from the Xuejiang Starfield," Ji Landeng said, looking Hong directly in the eyes. "It's just that you've been staying in the Busheka Clan's manor these past few days, and I didn't want to disturb you! My visit today carries no ill will whatsoever; I'm simply here as Ji Qing's father." "I understand." Hong nodded, listening. "You are very outstanding!" Ji Landeng looked at Hong. "I heard you performed quite well in the Ganwu Universe Nation's internal genius battle. Although you weren't recruited by the Virtual Universe Company, it's undeniable that you are a very excellent young man." Hong listened. "However, Hong," Ji Landeng sighed softly, "you are different from my daughter!" "My daughter lives within the Ji Clan, a family a hundred times more powerful than your Black Dragon Mountain Starfield's imperial family. You are a lone wanderer; you can roam with your teacher, free from attachments and pressure." Ji Landeng sighed, "But my daughter lives within the Ji Clan, where the internal competition is immense. In the Ji Clan... if one accidentally falls, they will be trampled underfoot by millions. Do you understand this?" "I understand." Hong nodded. Internal struggles within imperial families were brutal. For super families in the universe like the 'Ji Clan', internal competition was even more exceptionally fierce. "Therefore, my daughter Ji Qing cannot take the wrong path; once she does... she will be doomed forever!" Ji Landeng looked at Hong. "And her involvement with you has already incurred the wrath of my Ji Clan's Ancestor! With the Ancestor enraged, the entire family is in a state of panic..." Hong remained silent. "Therefore!" "I hope that for Ji Qing's sake, you will leave her, and cease all entanglement and contact!" Ji Landeng said in a low voice. "Don't communicate with her on the Virtual Universe Network, and leave Qiongyu Star as soon as possible. I wish for you to disappear from her world... As long as you disappear, she will remain the Ancestor's most beloved child." "But if you continue to entangle her, it will lead Ji Qing to eternal damnation." Ji Landeng looked at Hong. Hong remained silent. Crack, crack~ Hong's fist, hidden by the table, was tightly clenched, his knuckles white, and his expression subtly grim. Luo Feng's brows furrowed slightly. "As a father, I implore you, please let go of my daughter Ji Qing. I believe you also wish for her to have a bright future, don't you?" Ji Landeng looked at Hong. Hong stood there. "I understand." Hong nodded slightly. "I hope to hear news of your departure from Qiongyu Star; in that case, I, as her father, will be immensely grateful to you." Ji Landeng bowed slightly, then turned and left with his bodyguard. From beginning to end, Ji Landeng paid no attention to Luo Feng, nor to the Undying Being Dilun. When an Undying Being did not wish to reveal their identity, how could Ji Landeng and his bodyguard, with their limited strength, possibly detect them? ... The restaurant fell silent. Hong, who had been controlling himself, suddenly looked somewhat pale, then shook his head with a bitter smile. "Third Brother, isn't this laughable?" Hong looked at Luo Feng. "There's nothing laughable about it," Luo Feng shook his head. Hong shook his head. Hong saw things very clearly, so even though Ji Qing's father seemed very polite... Hong could naturally discern the underlying meaning of his words. Ji Qing's father clearly harbored a deep dislike for Hong, wishing for Hong to leave Qiongyu Star as soon as possible and disappear from Ji Qing's world. To be so detested by the father of the woman he loved, Hong felt immense pain in his heart! "Big Brother." Luo Feng patted Hong's shoulder. "I'm fine," Hong shook his head. Luo Feng couldn't help but frown slightly. What was the deal with that Yin Xue Marquis? Even if she was a super genius, was she not allowed to fall in love? What kind of joke was this?
