Chapter 66: Accompanying Gu Ran to Watch the Sunset

After returning home, Ye Feng immediately began his cultivation.

He sat cross-legged on the bed, circulating the "Xuantian Sacred Scripture."

Immediately after, his Qi strength rotated wildly, and in an instant, it swept through his entire body.

But, even though he cultivated for the entire night, he still could not break through that bottleneck.

"Why is it still not working..."

Ye Feng frowned, feeling somewhat irritable in his heart.

He could feel that his strength was already approaching the verge of a breakthrough, but no matter how hard he tried, he could never take that final step.

Just as he was about to give up, he suddenly felt a strange fluctuation coming from his Space Ring.

With a movement of his mind, he took out the ancient long sword from the ring.

The sword body emitted a faint pink light, as if responding to his emotions.

"This is..."

Ye Feng looked at the sword in his hand with some surprise.

This sword should have been left to him by his father; it had always been in the Space Ring and had nothing special about it.

But at this moment, the light on the sword body gave him a strange feeling.

He tried to inject his Qi strength into the sword body, and in an instant, the light on the sword became brighter, and faint phantoms of cherry blossoms floated on the blade.

Moreover, at the very moment the Qi strength was injected, he actually formed a connection with this sword in his heart!

It was as if this sword was born for him!

At this time, a pattern of cherry blossoms suddenly appeared in Ye Feng's mind.

"Cherry blossom?"

Ye Feng was stunned for a moment, then thought of Sakura Valley.

Could it be that this sword is the legendary Cherry Blossom Sword?

He was just about to continue his research when he found that the light on the sword body gradually dimmed, and in the blink of an eye, it returned to its original appearance.

Furthermore, no matter what he did, he could not wake it up again.

Afterwards, he shook his head, ended his cultivation, and got up to take a shower.

After showering, he made some breakfast casually, and when he brought it to the dining table, his mother, Shen Yurou, was already sitting there.

"Morning, Mom!"

Ye Feng greeted her and sat down to start eating breakfast.

Shen Yurou glanced at him, her tone gentle: "Didn't you rest well last night? I see your dark circles are almost coming out!"

Ye Feng nodded and asked casually: "Mom, I remember you told me that story before, about a brat whose sect was destroyed."

"Was that sect destroyed by the power of the Shen Family alone?"

Shen Yurou was stunned for a moment, then shook her head: "No."

"Although the Shen Family is powerful, they didn't have that capability at the time; there was also an overseas faction that participated in that battle."

Ye Feng's hand paused, and he looked up at his mother: "An overseas faction? Is it Sakura Valley?"

Shen Yurou's expression changed slightly, and her tone suddenly became serious: "How do you know about Sakura Valley?"

Ye Feng did not hide it and briefly recounted what had happened recently.

After listening, Shen Yurou was silent for a moment, then sighed: "I didn't expect that the people from Sakura Valley would appear again!"

Ye Feng frowned, and then a look of determination appeared on his face: "Mom, don't worry, I won't let them harm Gu Ran, nor will I let them harm us again!"

Shen Yurou looked at her son, a flash of relief crossing her eyes: "Ye Feng, you have grown up; there are some things you should know."

Ye Feng was about to press for more, but Shen Yurou shook her head: "Forget it, now is not the time. When your strength is a bit stronger, I will tell you everything."

Seeing this, Ye Feng nodded helplessly and did not ask any more questions.

After eating, Ye Feng's phone rang.

He picked it up and saw a message from Gu Ran: "Ye Feng, when will you accompany me to exercise?"

This girl, is she being so proactive today?

Afterwards, Ye Feng smiled and replied: "Anytime is fine, are you free now?"

As soon as the message was sent, Gu Ran replied instantly: "Yes! Shall we meet at the nearest gym?"

"Good, see you in a bit!"

Ye Feng put down his phone and said to his mother: "Mom, I'm going out for a bit."

Shen Yurou nodded and urged: "Be careful."

When he drove to the gym, Gu Ran was already waiting there.

She was wearing a sports outfit, her long hair tied into a ponytail, looking fresh and full of vitality.

"Ye Feng!"

Seeing Ye Feng, Gu Ran waved with a smile.

Ye Feng walked over and chuckled: "Why are you so proactive today?"

Gu Ran blinked, her tone playful: "It's a rare weekend, after all. I can't just keep working. Besides, didn't you say you were going to take me to exercise?"

Ye Feng smiled and nodded: "Alright, then today I will teach you a few moves properly."

After speaking, the two walked into the gym. Ye Feng first took her to warm up, and then taught her some fighting techniques at close range.

After the workout, Gu Ran wiped her sweat, her tone somewhat weak: "I didn't expect exercise to be this tiring!"

Ye Feng handed her a bottle of water, his tone gentle: "Take it slow, you'll get used to it."

When they walked out of the gym, it was already approaching afternoon.

Ye Feng and Gu Ran found a nearby restaurant, preparing to eat something simple.

After ordering, Gu Ran looked up at Ye Feng, her eyes carrying a hint of anticipation: "Ye Feng, can you accompany me to climb the mountain to watch the sunset later?"

Hearing this, Ye Feng was stunned for a moment.

Opposite sex, climbing a mountain, sunset...

Why do these three words put together sound so much like things couples should do?

This girl, what's wrong with her today?

Does she have a crush on me?

However, Ye Feng did not dwell in his fantasies for too long. A moment later, he smiled and nodded: "Sure!"

Seeing Ye Feng agree, a blush appeared on Gu Ran's face: "Good, then let's set off in a bit!"

After eating, Ye Feng drove Gu Ran to the nearest mountain.

The mountain was not very high, but the scenery was good, especially the wide view from the summit, making it an excellent spot to watch the sunset.

The car was parked at the foot of the mountain, and the two began to hike up.

The mountain road was not steep, but it was still a bit strenuous to walk.

Although Gu Ran was busy with work, her stamina was not bad, and she was able to chat and laugh with Ye Feng along the way.

"Ye Feng, seeing you so relaxed, did you often climb mountains in the past?"

Gu Ran asked while walking.

Ye Feng smiled, a look of recollection appearing on his face: "In college, my biggest hobby was mountain climbing. To me, it was as simple as a daily meal!"

Gu Ran blinked, her tone carrying a hint of curiosity: "Then have you been to many places?"

Ye Feng nodded: "It's alright, not too many."

Gu Ran smiled lightly, her tone carrying a hint of envy: "That's great. I also want to go to many places to see, but unfortunately, work is too busy."

Ye Feng looked at her, his tone gentle: "In the future, if there's a chance, I'll take you."

A blush appeared on Gu Ran's face, and she said softly: "Sure, then I'll remember that."

"When you have time, you must accompany me to see the mountains and rivers of our motherland!" ===== CHAPTER 67 =====
