Chapter 1365: Friends are Just Friends

"I never thought eating could have such an atmosphere." Looking at everything around, Xia Lalan sincerely expressed her feelings. She always thought eating was a simple affair and never imagined it could be in such an environment. For a moment, she felt thoroughly relaxed.

"It’s nothing, as long as you’re happy." Seeing Xia Lalan enjoy the environment, Lin Feng said with a smile. Since Xia Lalan was happy, his purpose for today was accomplished.

Lin Feng then ordered some special dishes from the Western cuisine and paired it with a bottle of red wine. In such a relaxed environment, time passed quickly. In a blink, plate after plate of food was served. Western food emphasizes flavor and refinement, so there wasn’t much of it. Under Lin Feng’s guidance, Xia Lalan quickly adapted to using a knife and fork. Chatting and eating with Lin Feng, she found the dining experience to be extraordinarily enjoyable for the first time.

After eating, the two of them smiled as they walked out of the restaurant, making Xia Lalan feel that coming out with Lin Feng was the right decision. If she hadn’t, she wouldn’t have experienced these things. Not knowing how Lin Feng would arrange the rest of the evening, Xia Lalan asked him, "What shall we do next?"

"Next, we’ll explore the night market. The night market in the Secular World is quite an interesting place with many unexpected little things. You’ll see once we get there," Lin Feng simply replied, looking at Xia Lalan. He was actually very happy today; since they were having fun, they had to make the most of it, or it would be a waste of time.

"Alright!" Upon hearing Lin Feng’s suggestion, Xia Lalan became curious about the night market. There was no such thing in the Hidden World, where shopping was mainly done at markets. Since she was out this time, she wanted to fully explore the myriad aspects of the Secular World.

Afterwards, the two of them slowly strolled together, heading towards the night market...

When they arrived at the night market, it was bustling with a sea of people. Seeing such a scene surprised Xia Lalan, who hadn’t expected there to be so many people here. Suddenly curious about what was being sold, she pulled Lin Feng into the night market.

As soon as they entered the night market, they attracted the attention of passersby. Xia Lalan was simply too beautiful, and together with Lin Feng, they were like the legendary perfect couple, prompting people to naturally make way for them. Seeing this, Lin Feng and Xia Lalan smiled and nodded in appreciation to the people around them.

"Wow, Lin Feng, what is this?"

"This is interesting, so much fun!"

"Why is there such a thing?"

"What is that..."

...

Upon entering the night market, Xia Lalan was immediately captivated by the items being sold at the stalls. They were filled with intriguing little objects, ranging from peculiar water bottles to colorful hair ties and various unique snacks, offering a complete variety. Xia Lalan was so absorbed in exploring, she wished she could take everything home with her.

Seeing this, Lin Feng stood to the side without saying anything, just smiling. He understood why Xia Lalan reacted this way; growing up in the Hidden World, Xia Lalan had always focused on cultivation and had never seen such things. So her curiosity was only natural. Lin Feng bought anything Xia Lalan liked and discreetly placed it in the Space Ring when no one was looking.

Without realizing it, the two had finished exploring the night market, leaving Xia Lalan exhilarated. She hadn’t expected there to be such an interesting place in the Secular World. After leaving the night market, Xia Lalan wanted to ask Lin Feng where they would go next, but before she could speak, he pulled her in front of a large building with the sign ’Huaxia International Cinema’!

"What’s this place?" Staring at the sign, Xia Lalan truly didn’t know what kind of place this was, becoming curious once more.

"You’ll find out once we go in." Lin Feng looked at Xia Lalan and didn’t answer; instead, he pulled her inside.

He picked a romance movie, selected their seats, and bought Xia Lalan some snacks before leading her into the cinema hall. Seated, Xia Lalan was even more puzzled. In such a dim venue, what were they going to do?

"Lin Feng, what are we doing here?" Xia Lalan couldn’t hold back her curiosity and whispered to Lin Feng. She was really eager to know what was happening.

"We’re watching a movie. There’s no such thing in the Hidden World. You’ll see what a movie is soon." Seeing Xia Lalan’s curiosity, Lin Feng laughed. He brought Xia Lalan here because she had never experienced a movie, and he wanted her to enjoy this experience.

"Oh..." Hearing this, Xia Lalan could only nod, acknowledging what he said, though she still tried to guess what a ’movie’ could be...

Soon after, the dim lights suddenly went out, and a large screen lit up right in front of their seats. The sound filled the entire hall, and the movie officially started. At that moment, Xia Lalan was momentarily stunned, unable to understand how the movie was being shown, but was quickly absorbed by the content of the film.

The movie was a poignant love story. On his way to pick up the heroine, the hero was hit by a car and became a coma patient. The narrative revolved around the heroine’s efforts to heal him. The story’s pace was tight, with frequent climaxes, drawing tears from the women in the cinema. Xia Lalan was so moved that she cried as well...

Lin Feng hadn’t anticipated that Xia Lalan would be brought to tears by such a movie. Seeing her so sentimental, he felt deeply touched. Although Xia Lalan appeared strong on the outside, even the strongest woman couldn’t escape her sensitive nature.

He gently handed Xia Lalan a tissue and quietly watched the movie with her, as time slipped by...

...

In the blink of an eye, days passed. During this period, Xia Chupeng and Song Liao observed that the kids and those students were progressively increasing in strength. The speed of their improvement was astonishing, leaving them both extremely surprised. They couldn’t believe that these people were cultivating in a regular environment. In such a Spiritual Energy-starved world, it was impossible to have enough energy to supply this cultivation. They were very sure of one thing: there must be some secret in the campus they weren’t aware of.

Moreover, they noticed something else: these people would disappear for a period every day, but they didn’t understand how. After discussing it, the two concluded that there must be a small world rich in Spiritual Energy hidden here, or such a situation wouldn’t occur.

"Chupeng, do you think we should investigate?" To prevent the kids from knowing, Song Liao communicated with Xia Chupeng using Divine Sense while meditating.

"I think we should check it out, but be careful not to get discovered." Xia Chupeng, who was also cultivating, immediately grasped Song Liao’s meaning upon hearing his voice in his mind and responded with his Divine Sense. He too wanted to understand what was really going on.

"Alright, tomorrow let’s find a reason to split from the kids and then thoroughly explore the campus." Receiving Xia Chupeng’s response, Song Liao pondered a bit before indicating his plan for tomorrow to Xia Chupeng.

"Okay!" Xia Chupeng felt this was the only viable action they could take, didn’t think much further, and focused back on his cultivation.

Without another word, the next morning, when the kids came to find Xia Chupeng and Song Liao, both expressed they hadn’t properly toured the Secular World here and wanted to go out for a look. Seeing them say this, the kids couldn’t object and continued with their training.

Xia Chupeng and Song Liao exchanged glances and immediately split up to act, exploring the campus to discover how the kids were cultivating and to determine if there was indeed a hidden small world they hadn’t detected.

Xia Chupeng wandered alone around the campus, observing many students doing morning exercises, with most boys running or playing ball games and most girls playing badminton or walking with friends. He didn’t feel anything out of the ordinary within the campus.

However, as Xia Chupeng passed by the basketball court, he suddenly stopped upon seeing Liao Chen. He had seen Liao Chen during his time with the Xia Family and knew Liao Chen was Lin Feng’s disciple. Seeing Liao Chen playing basketball with a group of Secular Mortals made him somewhat angry. To him, it was a complete waste of time. Such precious time should be used for cultivation, not for meaningless activities, which was utterly incomprehensible!

"Woosh!"

Suddenly, the basketball Liao Chen and his group were playing with flew towards Xia Chupeng at high speed. Without thinking, Xia Chupeng lightly pointed his finger, and there was an immediate loud explosion.

"Bang!"

The basketball suddenly burst, attracting the attention of everyone around. Xia Chupeng then walked towards Liao Chen.

"You actually mingle with these Secular Mortals, which is a waste of life. Your talent is quite good, but if you continue like this, it’s impossible to walk far down the path of cultivation in this lifetime. Never play with these Secular Mortals again; you’re letting yourself down and, more importantly, Mr. Lin!" Xia Chupeng, somewhat exasperated by Liao Chen, expressed his disappointment. Being Lin Feng’s disciple was an immense honor, yet this guy seemed to squander his time. Compared to those kids, he was not worthy to be Lin Feng’s disciple at all.

Liao Chen didn’t expect to see Xia Chupeng here, but he wasn’t afraid of him. Even if Xia Chupeng was an Immortal, what of it? A mind full of nothing but cultivation—what’s the point of living like that? Thinking of this, he replied to Xia Chupeng, "That’s because you don’t understand life. No matter how strong one is, friends are just friends, and it has nothing to do with strength. They all know I have extraordinary powers, yet we’re still friends. Such a life—you can’t comprehend it."

In fact, Liao Chen didn’t want to say much to Xia Chupeng, but he felt Xia Chupeng’s life was pathetically dull. Knowing nothing beyond cultivation, what a boring life! He wanted Xia Chupeng to understand what real life should be like.
