"You... you... you..."
Kanu Ting stammered for a long time, unable to finish her sentence. Her jaw nearly dropped to the ground in shock. After finally catching her breath, she still stuttered, "You... are you the God Emperor?"
Seeing Kanu Ting's astonished expression, Xia Feng smiled and said, "I told you the truth from the beginning, but you didn't believe me."
Kanu Ting then realized that Xia Feng had been telling the truth all along, and she had simply been too ignorant to believe him.
Recalling it now, Kanu Ting's face flushed with embarrassment.
As Xia Feng had said, even if Xia Feng burned down the Scripture Pavilion, her grandfather would still help fan the flames and afterward ask Xia Feng, "Did you have fun burning it? If not, I have more over here."
Looking at her grandfather trembling on the ground, Kanu Ting was shocked.
It was then that she came to her senses and knelt down towards Xia Feng.
However, halfway through kneeling, she felt as light as a swallow and couldn't manage to complete the action. Some force was holding her up.
"No need to be so polite. We were having a great chat. I still prefer it when you talked to me like before," Xia Feng said, lifting the kneeling Kanu Ting, preventing her from formally bowing.
Kan Hao Si suddenly remembered Zhang San Feng's words about opportunity. Could this opportunity be because of his granddaughter, Kanu Ting?
At least from the current situation, Xia Feng seemed to have a good impression of Kanu Ting. They chatted like old friends.
If Kanu Ting and Xia Feng were to have something between them, this opportunity would be absolutely tremendous.
"Get up, both of you. I was having a good time chatting with your granddaughter. You don't need to blame her," Xia Feng said, looking at Kan Hao Si and Kan Yu Lin kneeling on the ground.
Kan Hao Si quickly nodded in agreement.
Blame Kan Hao Si?
That was out of the question.
Given the relationship between Kan Hao Si and Xia Feng, she would be considered an ancestor of the sect from now on. How could she possibly be blamed?
Kanu Ting was currently in a state of excitement. She truly hadn't expected that there would really be a God Emperor in this world.
So, all of this was real, and it was happening right in front of her. This wasn't a dream; it was a genuine existence.
And this person was a disciple of the Tai Chi Sect whom she had brought here out of kindness.
Kanu Ting now understood that the only lie Xia Feng had told was probably that he was a disciple of the Tai Chi Sect.
"Come here. Your cultivation within your body is too chaotic. It's affecting you greatly. I'll help you," Xia Feng beckoned to Kanu Ting.
Kanu Ting had now accepted the fact that Xia Feng was the God Emperor. With a look of bewilderment, she walked towards him.
Xia Feng touched her forehead, directly erasing the useless cultivation techniques within her body, leaving only the strongest one.
"Why has my cultivation decreased? I'm not even at the Ancient God realm anymore," Kanu Ting quickly checked her cultivation techniques and asked with surprise.
Could it be that the God Emperor hadn't just bestowed her power, but had elevated her to the God Venerable realm?
How could she have dropped a major realm, from Ancient God to Xuan God?
"You'll understand later. It's just a temporary drop in realm," Xia Feng said with a smile.
Kanu Ting still believed Xia Feng's words, especially since he was the God Emperor.
If he were to lie to her, there would be no point.
Meanwhile, Kan Hao Si, watching silently, secretly made a decision: the sect's best resources would be prioritized for Kanu Ting from now on.
After all, she had been blessed by the God Emperor, and she would surely shine brightly in the future.
At the same time, Kan Hao Si was secretly pleased, as this was a way of indirectly attaching herself to Xia Feng.
"Mhm, I believe you," Kanu Ting nodded quickly.
"Sect Leader Kan," Xia Feng turned his head and called out to Kan Hao Si, who was spacing out beside them.
"Yes," Kan Hao Si quickly bowed.
"Do you have any other ancient texts in your Scripture Pavilion?" Xia Feng began to inquire about the ancient texts from Kan Hao Si.
"There's only this copy of the Divine Realm Revelation. We don't have any other ancient texts collected for now," Kan Hao Si replied with a bow.
Xia Feng wasn't disappointed by this. It would have been better if there were, but it couldn't be helped.
"Alright, you can go attend to your business. I'll let Yu Ting show me around," Xia Feng waved at Kan Hao Si.
"Yes," Kan Hao Si nodded in agreement and then gave Kanu Ting a few meaningful glances, signaling her to accompany him well.
As long as she could make Xia Feng happy, accompanying him in any way was acceptable.
These things, the things that needed to be done, must be done proactively and without excessive fuss.
Kanu Ting didn't understand these subtleties. The thought of being Xia Feng's guide made her happy, saying, "Then let me show you around our sect properly."
"Okay, lead the way quickly," Xia Feng said, pointing with his finger.
Kanu Ting led Xia Feng away, intending to show him around the sect.
Kan Hao Si watched her grandson leave with Xia Feng and felt a surge of joy, hoping this was a good beginning.
"From today onwards, Yu Ting is the youngest managing elder in the sect. Put away any petty thoughts you had of targeting her before, or don't blame me for being harsh," Kan Hao Si suddenly announced this matter, warning Kan Yu Lin.
"Yes... Grandfather... Yu Lin understands," Kan Yu Lin had witnessed everything firsthand. Even if Kan Hao Si hadn't given this order, she would have complied.
This was no longer the same Kanu Ting. The current Kanu Ting had practically ascended to the heavens in one step.
Kan Yu Lin felt jealousy but was also helpless. If only she had met Xia Feng instead.
But alas, that person wasn't her, but Kanu Ting.
"I never thought I'd have the chance to be friends with a God Emperor one day," Kanu Ting said, skipping and lamenting happily along the way.
Seeing that Xia Feng was easy to get along with, she reverted to her previous silly demeanor.
Xia Feng liked interacting with her in this way, where she could say whatever she wanted without restraint.
Seeing that Xia Feng didn't reply, Kanu Ting pressed on, "Do you think we're friends?" Da Feng Novel Network.
"Of course, we are friends. So, if you ever need any help from your friend, don't hesitate to ask," Xia Feng smiled and nodded.
"Hehe... That's good. From now on, if I say I'm a friend of the God Emperor, let's see who dares to bully me." Kanu Ting was overjoyed, her excited gestures making Xia Feng laugh.
In Xia Feng's eyes, Kanu Ting was like an overgrown child, a bit naive. It was with people of such a disposition that one felt happy.
"What does it feel like to be a God Emperor? Does it feel like showing off?"
"Do many people worship you? My grandfather even knelt before you, afraid to speak."
"It seems like a lot of fun. Do you think I can become a God Emperor one day?"
Kanu Ting led Xia Feng around the sect, but throughout the entire tour, she was the only one doing all the talking.
"It's alright. I'm used to it," Xia Feng said casually, showing off in a very smooth manner.
Indeed, he was used to it. It was the same on Earth, the same in the Immortal Realm, and even more so now in the Divine Realm.
So, he had long grown accustomed to this feeling and didn't feel much about it anymore.
Kanu Ting listened dismissively, looking at Xia Feng with envy.
It was great to have something to show off about.
