The man before them was gentle and elegant.
He was dressed in a cyan robe, with a long flute half - hanging in his hand. A faint smile played on his peerless face.
This was how Yan Ruyu looked at Feng Zhan.
Feng Zhan's heart skipped a beat at the sight, yet he was still in a daze.
"You, you, you!"
Yan Ruyu just kept smiling.
Feng Zhan then pointed at himself and stammered, "I, I, I!"
Yan Ruyu found it rather amusing. He had seen all kinds of situations his elder brother had been in, but this time, there was surprise and seven - tenths of joy.
It was this familiar address that made Feng Zhan feel extremely warm.
"Bu Ran!"
"How did you get here?"
On the surface, Yan Ruyu still looked as gentle as jade, but inside, his heart was in turmoil.
How many years had it been?
How many years had he stayed in this parallel world of the Nine - Continent?
Yan Ruyu had thought more than once that he had no relatives in this world.
No one could understand how he felt at this moment, seeing his loved one standing right beside him, and this person was his own elder brother.
When it came to excitement, he was no less than Feng Zhan.
It was just that, having lived for over a thousand years, Yan Ruyu had long learned to hide his emotions.
"Bu Ran! It's really you!"
At this moment, Feng Zhan jumped up like a child, shouting in surprise.
If Ling Sese were here to see this, she would probably think that the young master she had known before was just an illusion.
"Elder brother, it's so good to see you."
Feng Zhan quickly walked towards Yan Ruyu and looked at him intently.
Then he said, "I'm really not mistaken. In this world, only Bu Ran could be so good - looking. No, only those from our Feng family could have such good looks."
While praising Yan Ruyu, Feng Zhan didn't forget to praise himself.
Yan Ruyu smiled and asked, "Elder brother, why did you come here?"
Feng Zhan sat down following the direction Yan Ruyu pointed. The food and wine on the table were all his favorites.
"Don't even mention it. I was tricked badly by little aunt."
Feng Zhan took a mouthful of food and then poured two glasses of wine. Yan Ruyu shook his head. Only then did Feng Zhan remember that his younger brother never touched alcohol. Unless it was a special occasion, he rarely drank.
After downing a glass of wine, Feng Zhan felt much more comfortable.
"Not bad, Bu Ran. Your Peach Blossom Wine is well - brewed. You've probably mastered about seven or eight tenths of mother's skills."
Yan Ruyu just smiled but said nothing.
Feng Zhan ate and drank while telling Yan Ruyu why he had come here and what he had experienced in the Ghost Domain.
After his account.
Yan Ruyu's expression didn't change much.
"Bu Ran, did you hear that? Your elder brother almost died in the Ghost Domain. Those people were really terrifying."
"Bu Ran, aren't you worried about your elder brother?"
Yan Ruyu said gently, "There's no need to worry. I've always admired elder brother's abilities."
Feng Zhan yawned. He was a bit tired from traveling all night.
"Elder brother, you just said you came here to find the Supreme Lord of the Beast Realm?"
"Yeah."
"Maybe I know where he is."
Feng Zhan's eyes suddenly widened.
"Really? Take me to him quickly!"
"Even if I take you to him, you still can't go back."
"What are you joking about? Why can't I go back? Although little aunt is a bit unreliable, I still remember the formation and the location that can send me back."
There was a smile on Feng Zhan's face, but Yan Ruyu's expression remained unchanged.
His voice became very soft as he asked, "Why?"
Yan Ruyu said, "Because just two days ago, I used ten - tenths of my cultivation to seal the Ghost Domain for a hundred years. So, in these hundred years, you can't enter the Ghost Domain, let alone use the ancient desolate land in the Ghost Domain to teleport back."
Feng Zhan's chopsticks dropped at that moment. It felt as if a knife had been stabbed into his chest.
Yan Ruyu continued, "According to my observation of elder brother just now, there's no spiritual energy or mental power in your body. Although the spiritual herb masters and alchemists here can't hurt you, the Supreme Lord of the Beast Realm can, because he comes from the same world as mother and father."
"Pfft!"
Feng Zhan felt as if a second knife had been stabbed into his heart.
"Also, elder brother, I have the ability to create a parallel connection between this world and ours. I can help you return to our world."
Feng Zhan let out a sigh of relief and smiled, "Bu Ran, you really scared me. With you around, it's enough!"
"I forgot to tell elder brother that I used seven or eight tenths of my cultivation to seal the Ghost Domain. The remaining two - tenths is not enough to repair the formation for the time being."
A third knife stabbed into Feng Zhan's chest.
"Then, how long will it take for you to recover your power?"
Yan Ruyu held up one finger.
Feng Zhan said, "A year? It's okay. I can wait. I can also take a good stroll around here."
Yan Ruyu shook his head.
Feng Zhan said again, "Ten years?"
Yan Ruyu still shook his head.
Feng Zhan was in a complete mess.
"Exactly how many years?"
"A hundred years."
A hundred years. Wasn't this just nonsense?
"In a hundred years, I'll be just a pile of bones."
Yan Ruyu shook his head and said, "No. In this plane, the people of our Feng royal family are immortal. You don't have to worry about this."
Feng Zhan still had a long face.
He had planned to make a great show of himself in this plane, but he didn't expect that this plane was full of spiritual energy and mental power. It seemed that he wouldn't have a good reputation in battles.
"Elder brother, do you have anything else to ask?"
Feng Zhan shook his head and slumped on the table dejectedly.
He let out a long sigh.
Then, he saw that Feng Buran was sitting in a wheelchair.
All of Feng Zhan's drunkenness disappeared at that moment.
He suddenly stood up, walked to Yan Ruyu's side, and stared at him motionlessly.
Yan Ruyu had a smile on his face and was just about to speak.
Feng Zhan squatted down and carefully examined his legs. From his cautious movements, one could imagine his expression at this moment.
"Bu Ran, your legs?"
"Disabled."
Yan Ruyu said these two words very softly, as if losing his legs was just a trivial matter.
But this news made Feng Zhan feel more miserable than all the previous news.
For the first time in his life, Feng Zhan sat on the ground as if he had no strength to support himself, with a blank look in his eyes.
"Your legs are disabled, and you used your cultivation to seal the Ghost Domain. Bu Ran, you've really had a hard time."
Yan Ruyu was just about to tell Feng Zhan.
That his legs would only be unable to walk for three to five years and would recover sooner or later.
And even if he only had two - tenths of his power left, he was still invincible on this plane, on the Nine - Continent.
But before he could say anything.
Yan Ruyu saw that there were actually tears in Feng Zhan's eyes.
He looked so pitiful.
