With Wang Hong's descent from the White Lion's back. He saw Mu Feng coming towards his direction. Wang Hong sighed as he did not like Mu Feng's presence.

"Wang Hong, you have come! It seems like the rumors about you dying in the hands of Xie Hai wasn't true. But it is baffling to see how you have become a Saint so fast. So, how about it? Do you want to fight?"

Wang Hong showed his valiance and stood tall but he did not accept Mu Feng's challenge at the heat of the moment. This made Mu Feng a little surprise as Wang Hong would almost immediately go and fight him head-on when a challenge was issued.

"The Young Master of the Wang Family is starting to mature, ah." Mu Feng was impressed.

Wang Hong was 18 years old this year and was already a saint. Considered as a monstrous talent that was above geniuses, Wang Hong used to be brash and untamed heading into the face of danger when he wants to.

But after the incident in the Blazing Wing Continent, Wang Hong had changed in more ways than one. Not that he became scared or a coward, he was only approaching things in a calmer and level headed manner. It was something Sun Wu praised him for.

Others in the Main House saw this change to be elicited by the First Young Master who, even at his first month of awakening was a level-headed person. Wang Ling's short interaction with his young brother had paved way for a genius like Wang Hong to become even more formidable.

Right now, Wang Hong's fast improvement had been signs that he was considered as a genius that stands on top even amongst geniuses. Taking into account he was only an 18-years-old young man and he was already a saint.

Geniuses were rated in different aspects. There were geniuses in the path of weapon mastery, alchemy, blacksmithing, but what matters most was cultivation speed.

Comprehension, training, raw potential are just some of the things that must be taken into account when evaluating a genius. In the central regions, those who reach the saint phase at the age of 21 to 25 were considered geniuses. Those who don't were all mediocre.

The of the Seven Great Academies only trains geniuses. There were many geniuses in the central regions. But even amongst these geniuses were youths who have monstrous talents.

A monstrous genius, a term referred only to those who reach the saint phase before the age of 21. These geniuses were the best of the best.

Wang Hong's future was limitless. What's more, is that his improvement has been baffling for the past few months. His foundation has been strengthened for some unknown reason, maybe because of the Nebula Celestial's legacy.

This resulted in him improving even faster than before. Not everyone would find Wang Hong's improvement as a good thing though. As Mu Feng who was already jealous of his talent was now even more so.

Adding to the fact that Wang Hong had been traveling with QingBiao, an equally monstrous genius. Mu Feng's jealousy and wariness of Wang Hong and the Wang Family entirely has been increasing.

But Mu Feng does not need to think of complicated matters. He only needs to always be right beside Wang Hong and nothing much will change.

While Mu Feng was feeling jealous, another genius was coming towards the two men. It was a beautiful, yet slightly dangerous Yan Renhuo who had a blazing aura emanating from her.

Yan Renhuo was a lady who was free-willed and strays away from men. She was a student of the Ancient Scripture Academy and was a genius that has potential in both cultivation and alchemy.

She was a monstrous genius who reached the saint phase just before turning 21 years of age. However, her cultivation speed should have been faster if she was not an alchemy maniac and spends her time concocting pills rather than cultivating.

Right now, she was only 22 years of age and was a half-step Grand Saint but she was also really proficient in alchemy and could already concoct half-step rank-3 pills that was meant for the consumption of dominion realm cultivators.

With her talent, dangerous beauty, valiant personality, and a good background. Yan Renhuo was a woman that many men would die to have. It was to their dismay though that Yan Renhuo has no interest in men. Some even thought she swing 'that' way.

However, those watching as Yan Renhuo stood in front of Wang Hong with a very warm smile on her made others think otherwise. QingBiao who was just behind Wang Hong continued being silent.

Those cultivators who were watching the interaction of the geniuses of the younger generation found this scene interesting. Making them attentive and wait with anticipation as to what will happen next.

"How may I help the Young Miss of the Yan Clan?" Wang Hong tried his very best to act like a gentleman. This action of his made Yan Renhuo shows an even brighter smile.

She returned the bow and said, "I am just here to meet brother-in-law… oh, that was incorrect. It should be future brother-in-law." Yan Renhuo's greetings made it apparent she had yet to give up on the idea of turning Wang Ling into her dao companion.

"What did you say? I didn't quite catch that." It wasn't Wang Hong who asked that question because Me Feng who did not know what was happening stepped forward and asked that question.

[Brother-in-law? What the hell, I don't remember anything about Wang Hong having any sibling. Wait, does the little brat that suddenly appeared in the Wang Family territory going to get married to the young brat of the Yan Clan?]

Even Mu Feng who does not have an interest in complicated things was beginning to feel the pressure. The Yan Clan, Mu Clan, and the newly established Wang Clan was in a perpetual state of flimsy peace.

The Wang Family was still weaker in comparison to the two goliath clans. But no one would try and fight the Wang Family for many reasons and it wasn't worth getting in a fight with the borderline lunatic.

There was a balance between the three. If the Yan Clan and the Wang Family became allies through marriage. His Mu Clan will surely be forced to become a second-tier force at the mercy of the new superpower.

Yan Renhuo turned to look at Mu Feng with an easygoing look on her eyes as she said, "This doesn't bother you, Mu Feng, just wait over there as I talk to Brother Wang Hong here. We'll open the barrier later so shush."

Mu Feng couldn't say anything back because it was indeed true that the matter does not have anything to do with him. But he didn't follow Yan Renhuo's instruction of moving to the side, as Mu Feng stuck to one place and waited for Yan Renhuo to continue.

"Going back to the issue, may I know if Brother Wang Hong here knows if you know where the First Young Master is? I went to the Thundergod Academy but it seems like he already left for someplace. "

Wang Hong woke up from his daze and looked at Yan Renhuo. He finally processed what was happening, "I—I don't know where my Older Brother is, he was supposed to come home to the main house a month ago, but he had yet to reach home."

Wang Hong showed a worried look on his face as he remembered how Wang Ling had yet to come home. There was a chance Wang Ling was… he didn't want to think about it anymore.

But just as he was thinking about this matter, someone called from afar saying.

"Don't worry, I'm not dead yet."

Wang Ling appeared behind. Wang Hong turned around and saw Wang Ling acting like how he normally would. Calm and collected with a… white scarf wrap around his neck?
