50: Go out for experience

Three days later.

Ling Feng awoke from his Cultivation. Although his cultivation had not improved during this retreat, he had successfully awakened another Giant Elephant Particle, further enhancing his strength.

After getting up and tidying himself, he walked straight out of the secret chamber. After bathing and changing, he came to the courtyard.

He casually called out in a deep voice.

"Ling Di."

"Family Head!"

With a "swish," Ling Di's figure instantly appeared before Ling Feng, respectfully responding.

"Has anything significant happened in the Family during my retreat?"

Seeing this, Ling Feng nodded and then asked.

"Reporting to Family Head, not long after you went into seclusion, Grand Elder Ling Buyi successfully made a Breakthrough to the Earth Martial Realm. This caused a shock among the clansmen at the time, and also drew the envy of many others in the Family."

"Many clansmen therefore desperately threw themselves into Cultivation, causing a considerable wave of Cultivation fervor."

"Mm-hm, not bad."

"I guessed that Second Uncle wouldn't be far from a Breakthrough to the Earth Martial Realm, but I didn't expect it to be so quick."

"Oh, and Family Head, the people from Shadow Pavilion came once during your retreat. They originally wanted to inform you that Shadow Pavilion has now officially started taking orders and has appeared in people's sight. Also, Ling Zifan seemed to be looking for you; he came over every other day during your retreat."

"Hmm, for now, don't let the Ling Family and Shadow Pavilion get too entangled."

"Yes, Family Head."

Hearing this, Ling Di immediately responded respectfully.

"Thump-thump-thump... Thump-thump-thump..."

Suddenly, a rapid sound of footsteps came from outside the courtyard.

Seeing this, Ling Feng immediately cast his gaze towards the courtyard gate.

Soon, Ling Zifan's figure appeared in Ling Feng's sight. At this moment, Ling Zifan, who had just entered the gate, also saw Ling Feng and immediately strode towards him.

A moment later, Ling Zifan arrived before Ling Feng and saluted with a playful smile.

"Ling Zifan greets the Family Head."

"Haha, Cousin Zifan, you don't need to be so formal with me."

"I heard from Ling Di that you came to find me every other day during my retreat. What exactly is the matter?"

Looking at Ling Zifan's serious demeanor, Ling Feng couldn't help but laugh.

"Cousin, I did come to you for something this time, but are you free right now? If not, we can talk later."

"Otherwise, if my father finds out, I'll be lectured again."

Hearing this, Ling Zifan seemed to recall something and said in a bitter, low voice.

"Hahaha, it's fine. I don't have anything important to do right now. Just tell me what's on your mind."

"Cousin, I want to leave the Family and venture out for a period of experience."

"Oh? Has something happened? Why do you suddenly have this idea?"

Hearing this, Ling Feng couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, his eyes fixed on Ling Zifan, his Face full of questions, and he asked in surprise.

"Cousin, nothing has happened. It's just that I personally feel I can't stay in the Family forever, always living under the protection of the Family's wings. There will always be a day when I have to go out and make my own way."

"Moreover, flowers grown in a greenhouse will ultimately never be able to stand on their own."

"And now, I have also reached the Profound Martial Realm Middle Stage, which gives me a certain degree of self-preservation in the entire Dynasty. Furthermore, I will be careful and cautious when I go out for experience. As long as I don't actively provoke those established powers, my self-preservation ability should be sufficient."

Hearing Ling Feng's questioning, Ling Di immediately laid out his thoughts.

"Hmm, that's a good idea. Growing up under the Family's wings is safe, but it lacks the tempering of life and death, blood and fire."

"In this world where martial prowess is revered and the strong prey on the weak, to become someone who can stand alone, one will always be lacking if they haven't experienced the tempering of life and death, blood and fire."

Of course, I don't need that. Who told me I have a System... Hearing this, Ling Feng pondered for a moment, then nodded and slowly said.

"However, you can go out for experience, but for now, you absolutely cannot leave the Great Chu Dynasty. If you lack resources or need the Family's help, you can always come back to the Family."

"Remember, we of the Ling Family are not afraid of trouble, but we absolutely do not cause trouble. However, we also absolutely cannot bully others by relying on the Family's influence."

"Okay, Cousin."

Hearing Ling Feng's agreement, his Face filled with joy, he immediately nodded and said.

As the saying goes, having a background is an Innate advantage. One can already surpass most people by relying on these advantages. To abandon them would be truly foolish, especially in this world where martial prowess is revered and the strong prey on the weak.

However, Ling Feng was not too worried about his training arrangements, as he had the protagonist template with a 'personal old grandpa.'

He believed his 'personal old grandpa' would make the best training arrangements for him, allowing him to grow quickly.

Thinking of this, Ling Feng took out a Storage Pouch containing many Cultivation resources from the System space, then handed it to Ling Zifan, saying with a smile.

"Since you want to go out for experience, then do your best to improve yourself. Don't disappoint me. I hope that the next time I see you, you will have changed."

Hearing this, Ling Zifan's smile immediately faded. He respectfully took the Storage Pouch from Ling Feng's hand with both hands, then looked at Ling Feng with a serious expression and loudly promised.

"Thank you, Cousin. Don't worry, Zifan will definitely not lose Face for our Ling Family while he's out. The next time we meet, you will certainly see a different Ling Zifan."

"Mm-hm, go. I look forward to your performance."

"However, before you go, remember to tell Second Uncle and Second Aunt."

Looking at the solemn and earnestly promising Ling Zifan, Ling Feng nodded, a faint smile on his Face, and said.

"Yes, Cousin."

"Then I'll be leaving."

"Mm, go."

Hearing this, Ling Zifan immediately turned and jogged out of the courtyard.

Watching Ling Zifan's departing back, Ling Feng then spoke to Ling Di, who was beside him.

"Ling Di, go and instruct the people from Shadow Pavilion to keep an eye on Ling Zifan's training. If he encounters a life-and-death crisis, they must intervene and save him."

"Yes, Family Head."

As his voice fell, Ling Di's figure instantly disappeared from the courtyard...
