Following the imperial guard, Ling Feng soon came to a quiet place in the palace - the royal garden.

It's the autumn season of September, and a variety of colorful flowers such as crape myrtle, moonflower, jasmine, and caryophyllus are in full bloom. A faint fragrance of flowers lingers in the air, making people feel relaxed and refreshed when they smell it.

Ling Feng couldn't help but sigh, with such a charming flower collection, I am afraid that only the royal family can have such financial and material resources.

Wandering in the sea of flowers, Ling Feng unconsciously even walked much brisker. After three rounds and two rounds, the imperial guard who was leading the way in front of him paused, pointed to a small pavilion about three meters high a hundred meters in front of him, turned back to Ling Feng and said respectfully: "Deputy Dutong Ling, the Holy Lord is waiting for you there, go quickly." ”

"Good. Ling Feng nodded, and walked quickly to the small pavilion that was not luxurious, but very elegant, a hundred meters away.

Approaching the small pavilion, Ling Feng saw the smile on Xue Hongze's face in the pavilion at a glance, and beside him was Xue Xiaoxiao, who had already changed into a purple gauze dress. At this moment, Xue Xiaoxiao was holding Xue Hongze's arm, snuggling beside him, admiring the flowers, talking and laughing with him, and enjoying himself.

Rustling......

The sound of feet stepping on dead leaves sounded, and Xue Hongze and Xue Xiaoxiao, father and daughter in the small pavilion, followed the sound and looked over.

In sight, Ling Feng was striding over.

Seeing Ling Feng, the elf-like eyes of the snow little elf suddenly lit up, and the little hand holding Xue Hongze tightened slightly. Xue Hongze was keenly aware of his daughter's reaction, and couldn't help but show a faint smile on his face, and there was a faint hint of expectation in his eyes when he looked at Ling Feng.

"See the Holy Lord!" Walking into the small pavilion, Ling Feng was about to bow down, but Xue Hongze stretched out his hand and interrupted: "This is not the main hall, so Ling Aiqing doesn't have to be formal." Then Xue Hongze pointed to the stone bench opposite him, "Come, Ling Aiqing, sit down and let's talk slowly." ”

Ling Feng sat opposite Xue Hongze as he said, his face respectful, but his heart was full of doubts.

Xue Hongze first favored himself in the main hall, and then summoned himself to this imperial garden, which is usually only accessible to people from the royal family, and now he actually put himself on an equal footing with him.

This series of overly intimate actions made Ling Feng have to wonder why Xue Hongze did this?

Just when Ling Feng was full of suspicions, Xue Hong Zelang laughed and said, "Are you wondering, why would I favor you in the Longyuan Palace?"

Ling Feng nodded, did not speak, but waited for Xue Hongze to continue.

Seeing Ling Feng nodding, Xue Hongze smiled slightly and said, "Actually, the reason is very simple. First of all, you saved my precious daughter from the Sky Swallowing Python, which is one of the reasons why I decided to favor you. ”

Ling Feng still didn't speak, quietly waiting for Xue Hongze's next step.

He believes this is not the main reason. After all, with Xue Hongze's position at the height of the human emperor, he would never favor the Ling family, which was obviously inferior to the four major families, at this critical juncture when there were many external troubles, just because he saved his daughter.

"As for the second reason, it's you!" Xue Hongze stretched out his hand and pointed at Ling Feng, "You became a little innate peak martial artist at the age of eighteen, and such a talent is definitely unique in my Eastern Jin Dynasty." It is not an exaggeration to say that you are the first person in the Eastern Jin Dynasty for thousands of years! Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine that you will definitely be able to reach the Gathering Spirit Realm in the future, and it is even very likely that you will become a powerhouse of the Ning Yuan Realm above the Gathering Spirit Realm!"

"There are hundreds of millions of people in the entire Eastern Jin Dynasty, but there are only two or three Spirit Gathering Realm powerhouses who can be born within a hundred years, not to mention that someone can reach the Ning Yuan Realm. Even if we are now among the top ten powerhouses of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the strongest strength is only one of the Gathering Spirit Realms! The other nine powerhouses have only reached the peak of the Great Innate Realm!"

"And you have become a Xiaotian peak martial artist at the age of eighteen, and your future achievements will definitely not be lower than the current strongest!" Speaking of this, Xue Hongze couldn't help but get excited, "Our Eastern Jin Dynasty royal family finally met a genius like you, so naturally we have to go all out to cultivate!"

Ling Feng nodded in understanding.

It turns out that the reason why Xue Hongze favors himself is precisely because he values his own potential. After all, the strength of a strong person who has reached the Spirit Gathering Realm is as strong as that of thousands of troops. Although there is an agreement between countries that the powerhouses of the Spirit Gathering Realm cannot participate in the war, if they can have a Spirit Gathering Realm powerhouse in charge, other countries will naturally not dare to send troops easily.

"As for the third reason...... Xue Hongze continued.

"What, there is a third reason?" Ling Feng was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, could it be that there was anything else in him that was worthy of Xue Hongze's wooing?

"There is, of course, a third reason. Xue Hongze smiled slightly, "And this third reason is the main reason why I favor you!"

Hearing this, Ling Feng's brows couldn't help frowning slightly. His own potential is not the main reason why Xue Hongze is trying to win him over!And this third reason is the main reason why Xue Hongze is trying to win him over!

What the hell is that? Ling Feng couldn't help but feel a little curious.

Seeing Ling Feng's inquiring gaze at him, Xue Hongze smiled mysteriously, but asked, "I think with the strength of your Ling family, no matter how talented you are, it is impossible for you to become a small innate peak martial artist at the age of eighteen, right?" Speaking of this, Xue Hongze paused deliberately, carefully observing the expression on Ling Feng's face, and then said slowly: "I think, there should be an extremely powerful teacher behind you, right?"

Hearing Xue Hongze's words, Ling Feng was slightly stunned, and immediately returned to his usual indifferent expression.

Indeed, his strength has been increasing too fast, and under normal thinking, everyone will naturally think that he has been able to improve by leaps and bounds because of the guidance of a famous teacher.

But Xue Hongze's words touched Ling Feng's secret!

Although Ling Feng concealed it very deeply, Xue Hongze still keenly captured his surprise at that moment, and couldn't help but affirm a little bit of his own guess in his heart.

"You can rest assured. I'm not going to spy on your ** to find out who your master is. Xue Hongze smiled faintly, "I just hope that if my Eastern Jin Dynasty is unfortunately attacked by the enemy under Longyuan City, I hope that your teacher can help my Eastern Jin Dynasty once!"

Xue Hongze believed that since Ling Feng's master was able to make Ling Feng become a small innate peak martial artist at the age of eighteen, then his own strength must have at least reached the Gathering Spirit Realm, and it might even be higher!

Although the powerhouses of the Gathering Spirit Realm are not allowed to participate in the big war between countries, if the crisis reaches the time of life and death of the country, it is naturally impossible for the powerhouses of the Gathering Spirit Realm to watch their country being wiped out by the enemy, and the action at this time is also promised by everyone.

Therefore, if the Eastern Jin Dynasty was in danger of survival, it would be possible to get the help of such a strong man, and its benefits would naturally be self-evident.

After speaking, Xue Hongze looked at Ling Feng quietly with a sincere face, waiting for his answer.

"Holy Lord, I can't agree to this request of yours without permission. I'll report to the teacher when I go back, and I'm not sure if he's willing to do it. Ling Feng said apologetically.

He does have such a strong man as "Chi" as a teacher. But the current "blazing" is only the soul body, and the soul has not fully recovered, so it is impossible to make a move. How could Ling Feng rashly agree to Xue Hongze's request?

"It's fine. Xue Hongze nodded. He also knew that the strong were all people with a surname, and it was not easy to invite a strong person, so he didn't force anything.

Xue Hongze turned his head and glanced at Xue Xiaoxiao, who had become very well-behaved since Ling Feng came, and couldn't help but smile slightly, but a thought flashed in his mind, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on Ling Feng again: "Listen to the novel, you went to Maple Leaf City this time, and were besieged by a Congenital Sixfold and two Little Innate Peak Martial Artists, and finally succeeded in killing them with a treasure weapon, is this really the case?"

"It is true. Ling Feng nodded directly in acknowledgement. After all, there are many people who know about this matter, and he can't hide it if he wants to, so it's better to admit it quickly.

"Haha, it's really a hero out of a young man!" Xue Hongze laughed, looked at Ling Feng, a fiery light flashed in his eyes, and said in a loud voice, "I wonder if you're interested in fighting with me?"

"Fighting with you?" Hearing Xue Hongze's request, Ling Feng was stunned at first, and then a look of excitement gradually appeared on his face.

"Okay!" Ling Feng was excited.

Being able to fight with the high-flying Xue Hongze was something he had dreamed of, how could Ling Feng easily miss such a good opportunity?

"Okay, come!" Xue Hong Zelang laughed, looking even more excited than Ling Feng.
