Chapter 521: Chapter 521: The Great Family and the Poor

Huu Hao, twenty-two years old, had attained the Seven-star Martial Sect Realm in Martial Arts Cultivation.

Among this group, although Huu Hao was the most talented, aside from the middle-aged man Wenn Sheng, Huu Hao had the highest Martial Arts Cultivation, but it was only the highest among these people.

Compared to the powers of those families in Starshine City, he, Huu Hao, was hardly worth mentioning. Not to mention surpassing the Chu Family, defeating the Tai Family, and standing proudly atop Starshine City.

No one took Huu Hao’s words seriously; they merely saw it as empty ambition, overestimating himself and daydreaming in broad daylight.

Several youths were laughing at Huu Hao’s jokes. Only the middle-aged man, Wenn Sheng, uninterested in the behaviors of those young people, walked ahead, vigilantly sensing his surroundings and guarding against any imminent dangers.

These Martial Artists, although all capable of Space-breaking Flight, avoided using it in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, as it easily attracted the attention of powerful demon beasts.

Using movement techniques could also scatter the group, making them vulnerable to demon beast attacks and potentially leading to casualties; only by walking together could they face the enemy when danger approached.

At that moment, a young girl named Little Yi turned her head to look back at Shi Feng, who was some distance from them. A look of concern gradually appeared on her face, and she deliberately slowed her pace, slowly straying from the group.

Until Shi Feng approached riding a white tiger, Little Yi walked up beside Shi Feng and said, "It’s too dangerous for you to walk behind alone. You should walk with us."

After hearing the young girl’s words, Shi Feng naturally understood her kindness, but he shook his head and said, "No need, I can protect myself."

If even he could encounter danger, then walking together with them would mean they would all be wiped out.

"You and your Seventh-stage Venerable Level White Tiger!" After hearing Shi Feng’s words, Little Yi naturally assumed his ability to protect himself came from the white tiger. In her eyes, Shi Feng was only a One-star Martial Emperor, far inferior to her.

"You might not have realized yet, but those demon beast corpses we saw earlier were from several Seventh-stage Venerates in the middle stage. If the monster that killed those powerful demon beasts appears, your white tiger might not be able to protect you.

So, it’s better if you walk with us. We can look out for each other, and if a real crisis comes, we can face the enemy together," Little Yi said toward the end, trying to persuade Shi Feng.

No matter what, Little Yi meant well. From the moment she saw him on the opposite side of the creek until now, she feared he might be robbed in these perilous woods.

Shi Feng naturally understood her intentions.

Shi Feng said to the young girl named Little Yi, "I appreciate your kindness, and I am aware of my situation. If any danger really arises, my life won’t be that easy to take."

"You!" Little Yi tried to persuade Shi Feng but hearing his proud words made her face show displeasure, and she said with a pout, "You youngsters from these major families, why are you so arrogant! Not to mention you, even our Uncle Wenn Sheng feels that danger could strike at any moment."

Hearing the young girl’s words, Shi Feng did not argue, but instead asked, "You all seem to have a prejudice against people from major families?" Shi Feng had asked this partly because of what the young girl just said and partly because he had heard the scornful words of Huu Hao earlier.

"Us?" When Little Yi heard Shi Feng say "us," she looked at Huu Hao walking ahead and then at her companions; indeed, her people were born into poverty, relying on their own efforts to progress step by step in cultivation.

Those youngsters from major families, born into massive resources that supported their cultivation, whereas her companions had to venture into dangerous Demon Beast Mountain Ranges to hunt in exchange for cultivation resources.

Moreover, Little Yi had witnessed several of her companions tragically killed by demon beasts.

Under such unequal treatment, her people worked so hard, and yet sometimes they had to yield to those coming from major families; naturally, they harbored a negative view of such people.

Then, Little Yi said to Shi Feng, "You people from the major families are used to luxury since birth, everything handed to you on a silver platter, you will never understand us."

"I am not from a major family," Shi Feng said. "I also come from a poor family, and there were times when I didn’t even have food to eat!" Shi Feng was telling the truth.

Back when he hadn’t awakened his memories from his past life, he lived in poverty with his mother and sister, sometimes unable to sell the firewood they collected, and they often went hungry.

"You are from a poor family?" Hearing Shi Feng’s words, Little Yi’s face clearly showed disbelief. With Martial Arts Cultivation in One-star Martial Emperor Realm and yet keeping a Seventh-stage Venerable Level White Tiger as a mount, who would believe that!

Looking at Little Bai beneath Shi Feng, Little Yi said, "Do you think I would believe that?" Then she added, "If you’re from a poor family, how would you have connections with the people from the first major family Chu Family in Starshine City?"

"The first major family?" Hearing Little Yi’s words, Shi Feng muttered. Listening to her, it seemed the origin of that mother and daughter had quite significant standing in this area.

"In Tianheng Continent, strength is held in high esteem. To have a massive force and a solid foundation relies on powerful strength. No family or force was major or powerful right from the start; it was all accumulated through their efforts and growth," Shi Feng said.

"You people from these major families are born with everything, naturally making light of it!" Little Yi continued to argue.

Shi Feng said nothing further; he didn’t want to persist on the matter with a young girl, he had said all he needed to.

Just like himself, regardless of his past life or this one, everything he had came through his own hard work, hardship, and even, survival from the brink of death.

Once Emperor Nine Nether, the strongest person in the world, people envied his success, but who could understand the hardships and efforts of Netherworld from the past, facing deadly situations and braving dangerous arrays, how many times he nearly faced death in one life, in this life.

Then, Shi Feng gradually closed his eyes, entering a state of cultivation. Little Yi, seeing Shi Feng not taking her advice, not walking with her group to mutually look out for one another, no longer paid him any attention and returned to her group.
