Chapter 552: Ye Zhong's Little Thoughts

Lin Feng, big brother, that mark on the carriage is one of the Dan Tower Five Great Families that belongs to my Ye family, owned by the Dan family. Those inside must be our opponents on this trip.

After seeing the insignia on that luxurious snow-white celestial carriage in the sky, Ye Xinlan immediately leaned close to Lin Feng's ear to explain.

The Dan family? I never expected to meet members of the other four great families just after arriving in Holy Dan City.

Hearing this, Lin Feng's eyes narrowed slightly as he gazed at the few Void Sky Heavenly Horse Beasts gradually disappearing into the horizon, murmuring softly.

As for the Dan family, one of the Dan Tower Five Great Families, he naturally knew about it.

But because he didn't know that this symbol represented the Dan family, he hadn't recognized it before.

At this moment, Ye Xinlan leaned close to his ear again and reminded him: "Lin Feng, big brother, the Dan family has always been low-key, and outsiders rarely obtain information about their internal affairs. However, among our Dan Tower Five Great Families, only the Dan family and the Cao family still have an ancestor residing within the Xiao Dan Tower. As for our Ye family, the Bai family, and the Qiu family, due to their decline, no elder remains who can enter the Xiao Dan Tower."

Hearing Ye Xinlan's words, Lin Feng's eyes narrowed slightly.

To enter the Xiao Dan Tower, at minimum one must be an alchemist of eighth-grade, seven-colored level.

And since members of the Dan and Cao families can enter, their alchemist rank must have reached the required standard.

"No wonder Cao Dan in the original story, even after learning that Xiao Yan had Xiao Yixian and the Heavenly Fire Venerable—two Dou Zun—by his side, remained extremely arrogant. Judging by the Cao family's strength, they truly need not fear ninety percent of Dou Zun experts."

Gazing at the horizon where the snow-white celestial carriage had vanished, Lin Feng shook his head inwardly.

"Since the Dan family members have arrived, the other three great families' people should be coming soon."

Gazing at the splendid carriage, Ye Zhong frowned and said: "I don't know who the Dan family will send to participate in this year's assessment."

"Heh, Elder Ye Zhong, rest assured; as long as they don't dispatch an eighth-grade alchemist, I won't fear them."

Hearing the concern in his words, Lin Feng immediately turned his head and gave a light laugh.

Hearing this, Ye Zhong's brows relaxed, then he smiled: "That's right; with Mr. Lin Feng's soul power, there are hardly any rivals below the Spirit Realm."

Gazing at Lin Feng, who bore a hint of special spiritual luster, Ye Zhong's worries immediately eased.

His soul power had nearly stepped half a foot into the Spirit Realm, and his alchemy skill was likewise unimpaired, with hardly any flaws.

Unless several of the great families each send a genuine eighth-grade alchemist to participate in the assessment.

Otherwise, with Lin Feng's ability, there would be no one to fear.

"Let's go, find a place to rest first; tomorrow we'll head to the Dan Tower Assessment Meeting to obtain a rank badge, then consider the subsequent assessment matters."

After his mood relaxed, Ye Zhong immediately smiled and said to Lin Feng and the others.

Having spoken, Ye Zhong turned his body and shot outward beyond the Crimson Red Square.

Seeing this, Lin Feng also took hold of Ye Xinlan and Xiao Yixian's hands, closely following upward.

Lin Feng's trio followed Ye Zhong as they wandered the outskirts of Holy Dan City for about half an hour, finally descending in a region near the south.

The place they landed was a relatively spacious courtyard.

However, the courtyard appeared noticeably dilapidated, as if untouched by human presence for many years.

Moreover, on the gate of that courtyard hung a wooden plaque.

Upon it were carved two barely discernible characters: "Ye Courtyard".

"This is a property of my Ye family from years past, but after the Ye family's decline, we have no face to remain in Holy Dan City, and no one tends to it anymore. However, for a temporary rest, it's still a decent choice."

Gazing at this courtyard, Ye Zhong turned his head and sighed to Lin Feng.

As for staying here, Lin Feng and Xiao Yixian had no objections.

After all, both of them had climbed up from the very bottom step by step.

Their requirements for lodging are not high.

Furthermore, although the Ye Courtyard looks somewhat dilapidated, its advantage lies in its seclusion.

Thus, naturally, there are no objections.

"Heh, since neither of you has any objection, and it's not early anymore, let everyone rest first; we still have important matters tomorrow."

Seeing that the two had no issues, Ye Zhong also breathed a sigh of relief, then said to the several people.

Afterward, each person found a room and moved in.

Of course, Lin Feng was naturally pulled into a room by Xiao Yixian.

"Squeak~"

The next day, as the sun rose slowly, the refreshed Lin Feng and the rosy-cheeked Xiao Yixian pushed open the door and walked out together.

"Mr. Lin Feng, since you're awake, let's set out."

Seeing the two emerge, an elderly voice sounded from outside the courtyard, and immediately Ye Zhong's figure appeared at the gate, smiling at Lin Feng and the other.

"Um, okay, but Elder Ye Zhong, just call me Lin Feng from now on; no need to be so formal."

Thinking about his affairs with Ye Xinlan, Lin Feng scratched his head.

After all, he had already gone halfway with her granddaughter's body, lacking only the final step.

Now that she still addresses him this way, he feels a bit embarrassed.

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhong's aged face flashed with a hint of joy.

It seems his granddaughter is quite capable, having even changed the form of address.

"If we strive a bit more and bear Lin Feng a son or daughter, wouldn't the relationship between our Ye family and him become even stronger?"

Thinking this, Ye Zhong decided to find time to have a good talk with his own granddaughter.

Let her take the initiative and quickly secure Lin Feng.

As for Ye Xinlan, who had been standing gracefully to the side, her fair cheeks instantly flushed with a hint of crimson.

Due to shyness, her pair of round, jade-like legs twitched uneasily.

"It's getting late; we should set out."

Seeing this, Xiao Yixian's rosy pretty face flashed with a hint of jealousy, then she interrupted.

"Yes, yes, I'll first take you to the Dan Tower testing point to obtain a certified rank badge, making later actions more convenient."

Seeing that Xiao Yixian wasn't very happy, Ye Zhong quickly followed her lead.

After all, this woman who looks frail is actually a genuine Fighting Sovereign expert.

If they anger her, the Ye family will have no good days.

Having said that, she turned and walked outside the Ye residence.

Lin Feng, seeing this, also took Xiao Yixian and Ye Xinlan's hands and followed her.

Xiao Yixian, seeing this, also didn't say anything.

After all, she had already agreed to the matter between Lin Feng and Ye Xinlan, so she had nothing to say

After leaving the Ye residence, Lin Feng led the two women, following behind Ye Chong, walking for nearly ten or so minutes, and then stopped outside an ancient stone tower in the outer region of Shengdan City.
