That's My Big Brother

Inside the main hall of the banquet, the great Immortal Gods and their subordinates, numbering around several thousand, gathered. The three giants of the Ganwu Branch chatted among themselves for a while before each walking onto the high platform at the front of the hall. “Everyone!” the ape-man Purple Lightning Marquis said with a smile, looking at the many Immortal Gods below. “Haha…” The numerous Immortal Gods below all smiled and looked up, ready to listen to the words of the three giants. “Each epoch, a group of individuals is selected into the Virtual Universe Company after experiencing the Genius Battle. But how many can defeat numerous peerless geniuses who have cultivated for thousands of years in their first qualification battle and rush into the Primal Secret Region?” Purple Lightning Marquis declared loudly, “Everyone says Bolan is a genius born once every ten thousand epochs, but I want to say that this person… is even stronger than Bolan! His progress speed is much faster! Such a genius is probably born once every million epochs, wouldn't you say?” “Who is he?” Purple Lightning Marquis was all smiles, “He is our Ganwu Branch's new Inspector Envoy—Luo Feng! And for a long time to come, he will be the best partner for me, Golden Feather Marquis, and Black Annihilation Marquis.” “Indeed, he will be the best partner for the three of us. Luo Feng will also be responsible for supervising many affairs of the Virtual Universe Company within the Ganwu Universe Nation,” Golden Feather Marquis added from the side. “Headquarters has dispatched Luo Feng to join our Ganwu Branch, and Golden Feather Marquis, Purple Lightning Marquis, and I are all incredibly happy to work alongside Mr. Luo Feng, the beloved disciple of Zhenyan King and a peerless genius,” the black-veiled girl said with a smile, her voice echoing in the ears of everyone in the banquet hall. “Let us welcome Mr. Luo Feng to the stage!” “Welcome!” “Welcome Luo Feng to the stage.” Purple Lightning Marquis and Golden Feather Marquis both called out enthusiastically. With the three giants being so solicitous, how could the great Immortal Gods of the Ganwu Universe Nation not show respect? Failing to show respect at such a crucial moment, and being remembered by the three giants, would spell huge trouble. Thus, all the great Immortal Gods also appeared enthusiastic. “Luo Feng!” Purple Lightning Marquis called out warmly. Luo Feng could only walk onto the high platform. The solicitousness of the three giants of the Ganwu Branch also astonished the invited great Immortal Gods. “These three giants of the Ganwu Branch are usually very arrogant. Few in the Ganwu Universe Nation can make them act this way. But today… tsk tsk…” “Isn't he just an Inspector Envoy? Is there a need for all this? If Luo Feng dares to be ignorant, we could just use some covert means to make him disappear without a trace! At most, he's just a Domain Lord-level Ninth Tier junior; there are plenty of ways to deal with him,” several Immortal Gods discussed. “Kill Luo Feng? Don't you know his teacher is Zhenyan King?” “Would Zhenyan King dare to act recklessly without evidence?” “Haha, it seems Zhenyan King has indeed stayed in Chaos City for too long. Billions of years have made many forget about him.” This group of great Immortal Gods was most accustomed to fundamentally eliminating their enemies. So, even though they knew Luo Feng was an Inspector Envoy, he was still a Domain Lord-level Ninth Tier junior, which inevitably sparked a hint of disdain in many of them… yet, they saw the three giants of the Ganwu Branch being so solicitous. Clearly, the three giants of the Ganwu Branch were making a statement— We fully support Luo Feng! Luo Feng is on our side; we are the four giants of the Ganwu Branch! Provoke Luo Feng, and you provoke the three of us! In truth, those words were merely a gesture, a declaration. Immediately, the thoughts of these Immortal Gods changed. In their minds, Luo Feng's status began to rise. “Offending Luo Feng means offending the three giants, and offending the three giants… would lead to being ostracized in the Ganwu Universe Nation.” Many Immortal Gods saw this clearly. “Evidently, the backgrounds of Purple Lightning Marquis, Golden Feather Marquis, and Black Annihilation Marquis aren't strong enough, and they are quite afraid of Luo Feng causing trouble.” “Indeed!” “During Luo Feng's tenure as Inspector Envoy, the Ganwu Branch gained another person not to be trifled with—Luo Feng, who can be considered the fourth giant.” Considering the development of their own families, that group of Immortal Gods clearly recognized Luo Feng's importance. The four giants of the Ganwu Branch descended from the high platform, and the numerous Immortal Gods began to enjoy the banquet. Many service staff continuously brought out delicious food made from ingredients transported by the three giants from various parts of the universe. Immediately, the entire banquet hall filled with lively discussions and conversations. “Golden Feather Marquis and the other two making such a clear stance obviously means they fully support Luo Feng,” Silverwing Marquis said, sitting in a corner, nodding slightly with a smile. “As long as we can get Luo Feng's help, the matter should be pretty much settled,” Ji Fengyan whispered. “Teacher, look over there, Busheka,” Yukuan said. Silverwing Marquis turned his head and immediately saw the tall, thin man with silver bumps all over his head in the distance. He couldn't help but say coldly, “Busheka? Next to him should be Luo, Hong's teacher. I can't believe they're qualified to attend this banquet. I really don't know what Golden Feather Marquis and the other two are thinking!” “Ancestor, about Hong and Ji Qing…” Ji Fengyan whispered. “Expelling that boy from Qiongyu Star, or killing him, is useless,” Silverwing Marquis said indifferently. “What I need is for Ji Qing to willingly give up and forget that boy. As for Busheka, he wouldn't dare provoke me. And that boy named Hong… he poses no threat at all. He can be dealt with however we please.” Ji Fengyan and Yukuan both nodded. In their eyes, Hong was like clay, to be molded however they wished. “You two stay here, I'm going to talk to Luo Feng,” Silverwing Marquis stood up. “Yes, Ancestor (Teacher).” Ji Fengyan and Yukuan respectfully replied. After Silverwing Marquis stood up, he walked directly towards Luo Feng, who was conversing with several Immortal Gods. “Here he comes!” Luo Feng noticed Silverwing Marquis approaching from the corner of his eye and thought to himself, “I haven't even gone to find him, and he's already coming to me.” “Listen up!” Luo Feng transmitted a message to a Sector Lord waiting at the edge of the banquet hall, “When I'm chatting with Silverwing Marquis later, go to the lounge next door and bring my big brother into the main banquet hall. Then, have my big brother call out to me.” “Yes, Your Highness!” The Sector Lord nodded. In just a moment, Silverwing Marquis initiated a conversation with Luo Feng. Luo Feng, with immense enthusiasm and a respectful attitude towards a senior, recounted Silverwing Marquis's deeds, expressing his admiration and awe. Witnessing this scene, the Sector Lord standing at the edge of the main banquet hall's eyes lit up, and he immediately turned and walked towards a lounge nearby. Pushing the door open, he entered. Inside the lounge, Hong was sitting on the sofa. “Hmm?” Hong turned his head, looking at the entering Sector Lord. “Mr. Hong,” the Sector Lord conveyed, “His Highness has instructed me to bring you into the main banquet hall now. When you see His Highness, you can simply call out to him.” “I understand,” Hong nodded. He stood up and followed the Sector Lord out of the lounge. Exiting the lounge, they entered the main banquet hall. At a glance… the exquisite food and wine in this banquet hall were enough to bankrupt an ordinary Immortal God. And the great Immortal Gods present were almost all at the highest echelons of the Ganwu Universe Nation; above them, there was only the Ganwu Nation Lord! “It's him!” Ji Fengyan, who had been observing her surroundings from a distance, spotted Hong at the far edge and couldn't help but frown. “How did that boy get here? Can he even enter this kind of event?” “Who?” Yukuan asked, puzzled. “The young man standing over there,” Ji Fengyan whispered, “He is Hong.” “That's him?” Yukuan scrutinized Hong. After Hong entered the main banquet hall, he also carefully observed the entire hall. Thousands of people were inside, and powerful law auras… caused mixed law fluctuations to ripple throughout the main hall. Hong quickly spotted his good brother, Luo Feng, who was conversing with a silver-robed man! “Third Brother!” Hong called out, his voice echoing through the main hall, drawing the attention of some Immortal Gods. A Cosmic-level junior? This group of great Immortal Gods was somewhat puzzled. “Speaking of which, that Insectoid Swarm was indeed terrifying. The endless sea of insects was frightening just to behold. In that battle, out of thirty-two Immortal Gods, a full twenty-eight perished,” Silverwing Marquis stood there, a trace of reminiscence in his eyes, recounting a brutal battle from years past to Luo Feng. Luo Feng listened intently, as if holding his breath. “Third Brother!” a voice called out. “Hmm?” Luo Feng turned his head and immediately chuckled, “Big Brother, just a moment!” Silverwing Marquis, who was in the middle of his story, paused, then smiled, “Oh, it's your big brother, Luo Feng. Who is it?” He turned his head and immediately saw the figure in the distance, who was still saying, “Alright, I'll wait for you here.” “Hmm?” Silverwing Marquis's pupils contracted as he stared at the figure. It's him? Big Brother? Silverwing Marquis turned to look at Luo Feng, who, with a slight smile, said, “That's my big brother, Hong! A brother through life and death!” “A brother through life and death?” Silverwing Marquis's mind was instantly thrown into disarray. The moment he saw Hong, he recognized him, because when he investigated Ji Qing's matter, he had looked into some of Hong's information, including photos and videos! However… Silverwing Marquis truly had no idea about the relationship between Hong and Luo Feng. Hong and Luo Feng being brothers through life and death had indeed never been publicly disclosed. Back when they participated in the Genius Battle, they both registered for Cosmic Citizen status in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. So, to outsiders, they only knew that both were from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. As for their personal relationship… Without expending effort to investigate, it would indeed be very difficult to uncover. “That boy is actually Luo Feng's big brother, a brother through life and death?” Silverwing Marquis frowned, numerous thoughts rapidly surfacing in his mind. He was an Immortal God, and though he had long been too lazy to employ schemes, with the speed of his consciousness, he quickly understood Luo Feng's earlier enthusiasm and the appearance of Busheka and Luo. “No wonder even Busheka could attend this banquet!” “No wonder Luo Feng was so enthusiastic!” “So, it was all because… Hong is his big brother!” Silverwing Marquis looked at Luo Feng before him. Luo Feng, however, smiled at Silverwing Marquis, “My big brother seems impatient. Silverwing Marquis, don't blame me for being nosy about my big brother and Ji Qing's matter. I want to ask… what exactly happened? Could you tell me? If not, then never mind.” Silverwing Marquis looked at Luo Feng, squinted his eyes in thought, and then said, “Since Hong is your big brother, I will tell you.”
