Chapter 35: The Feng Siblings

Causality Technique: Suiyuan Swordsmanship. Every strike is 100 percent guaranteed to leave a scar on the enemy; life or death depends on fate.

Those without fate could suffer a thousand sword strikes without a single fatal wound, while those with fate would die at the mere touch of the cold blade.

Translated into Su Han's own words, this skill description meant that it required absolutely no method or structure, nor did it require any Divine Weapons. Just grab a random sword and hack away blindly; it would 100 percent injure the opponent. As for whether it merely injured them or killed them, that depended entirely on fate. If they didn't die, they were lucky; if they died, they were fated.

He thought, "Hmm! Very good! Very powerful! It's just... the probability of being fated seems a bit low. I might not even kill one person out of a hundred."

Of course, this was the Skillification of Suiyuan Swordsmanship. If he didn't use it as a skill but instead relied on the inherited experience to wield the sword, this swordsmanship would still be a formidable technique in Su Han's hands.

Most importantly, Suiyuan Swordsmanship had absolutely no fixed moves. Just like the Dugu Nine Swords that Su Han knew of, even he wouldn't know what the next move would be before striking. Naturally, there was no possibility of it being seen through. Therefore, if an enemy wanted to counter it, they could only overcome it with pure strength. Unless the enemy's strength, speed, and cultivation base far exceeded Su Han's, very few within the same realm could match him.

Thus, even though the skill's fate-based attacks seemed a bit underwhelming, Su Han was still very pleased to have obtained the Causality Technique, Suiyuan Swordsmanship.

With his goal achieved, Su Han did not linger. He took Su Xiao'Er and left the Gongsun Family's last remaining territory.

On the way back, having tasted the benefits, Su Han once again asked for Su Xiao'Er's opinion. "Su Xiao'Er, apart from the Gongsun Clan, are there any other declined noble families in Lingzhou City?"

Su Xiao'Er remained silent. He figured his Crown Prince was not satisfied with uprooting just one family. He truly wanted to wipe out all the major noble families, not even sparing a single declined one.

Unfortunately for him, Su Xiao'Er thought for a moment, shook his head, and gave a negative answer. "There are no more."

Although he understood that such good things couldn't happen often, Su Han still felt a slight twinge of regret. Sighing softly, he stepped forward. "Let's go home."

Back in his own courtyard, after practicing Suiyuan Swordsmanship a few times, Su Han was pleasantly surprised to discover that combining it with his passive skill, Veteran Warrior, actually produced an effect greater than the sum of its parts.

He was already an expert in the Spirit Platform Realm, and he had relied on his prematurely born Divine Thought to forge a Flawless Spirit Platform. His starting point was much higher than others. Coupled with the fact that he used the Celestial Dao Foundation Establishment Pill to break the limits of Foundation Establishment, his physical strength had reached an astonishing 999,999 catties upon achieving Perfection in Foundation Establishment.

Combining all these factors, Su Han's original combat power far exceeded that of an ordinary cultivator in the Spirit Platform Realm, and he was not much inferior to a cultivator at the Perfection of the Spirit Platform Realm. Now, with the passive skill Veteran Warrior paired with the swordsmanship experience of Suiyuan Swordsmanship, Su Han's combat power multiplied. Even a typical cultivator at the Perfection of the Spirit Platform Realm would not gain any advantage against him.

He even doubted whether a Divine Sea Realm cultivator, who had just opened their Sea of Consciousness and birthed their Divine Sense, could defeat him in a fair fight. After all, the greatest advantage of the Divine Sea Realm was their Divine Sense and Telekinesis, but Su Han's Telekinesis had already awakened back in the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Sheathing the Mortal Iron Longsword he had randomly found, Su Han thought of his already powerful Divine Thought. He wondered if he should pick out some good materials to refine a Magical Artifact Flying Sword for himself.

Just as Su Han was recalling the refinement method for a three-star Magical Artifact longsword he had mastered, considering how to mix materials to elevate the Magic Sword to the highest quality, a knock rang out from outside the courtyard.

"Xi, go open the door," Su Han ordered, adjusting his clothes with Qiao's help.

Xi went to open the door. Su Muyan and Miss Feng walked in. Beside the two women was a handsome, elegant young man who, in Su Han's eyes, was almost as good-looking as he was.

He thought, "This must be Miss Feng's older brother, right?"

With this in mind, Su Han smiled and greeted his Sister and Miss Feng. After greeting the two women, his gaze turned to the young man. Su Han gestured toward him and asked Miss Feng, "Aren't you going to introduce me?"

"This is my older brother from my clan, Feng Muxi," Miss Feng chuckled and nodded. After introducing the young man, she introduced Su Han to her brother. "Brother, this is Prince Jing's beloved son, Su Han, Crown Prince Su."

Feng Muxi gave Su Han an apologetic smile. He gave off a gentle and refined impression, like an elegant gentleman, easily earning people's goodwill.

"Crown Prince, I have come uninvited and will be intruding upon the Prince's Residence for a few days. I hope you can forgive the disturbance," Feng Muxi said politely.

At first glance, this man felt like a quintessential nice guy to Su Han—someone impossible to dislike. Seeing that his words and actions were so agreeable, Su Han couldn't help but feel a bit more favorably toward him.

"Feng, you are being too polite," Su Han replied. "Miss Feng is my Sister's good friend, and you are Miss Feng's older brother. We can just treat each other as friends. There's no need for such formalities about intruding or not. You and your sister can stay in the Prince's Residence for as long as you like."

Anyway, their Prince's Residence wasn't lacking a couple of rooms.

Feeling Su Han's goodwill, Feng Muxi smiled gratefully. "In that case, I will thank the Crown... Su."

Su Han smiled. "Feng, your name is Feng Muxi, and Miss Feng's name is Feng Lixi. Your names are quite similar. Could you be blood..."

Before the word "siblings" could leave his mouth, Su Han's voice abruptly trailed off. Jerking his head up, he stared wide-eyed at Feng Muxi and asked carefully, "Feng Muxi?"

Feng Muxi looked slightly confused but still nodded. "That is indeed my name."

Su Han nodded stiffly and turned his head to look at Miss Feng. "Feng... Lixi?"

Miss Feng's eyes were full of confusion. She nodded. "That's me."

Su Han was speechless.

Feng Muxi! Feng Lixi! Feng Lixi! Feng Muxi!

His mind was reeling as these two names continuously flashed through his head. Previously, when he heard the name Feng Lixi, he had felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. But now, after hearing the name Feng Muxi and learning that they were siblings, the causal relationship between them was like a thread running from beginning to end, threading all his fragmented memories together.

When the names Feng Muxi and Feng Lixi appeared together as siblings, he finally realized where that inexplicable sense of familiarity had come from when he first heard her name!

Feng Muxi! Feng Lixi!

Many people might find these two names unfamiliar. However, if one were to mention their other names, 99 percent of Chinese people would surely find them familiar. These two names belonged to the two mythological ancestors of humanity in Chinese legends—Fu Xi and Nuwa!

Fu Xi and Nuwa.

If only one name had appeared, Su Han might have just considered it a coincidence. Yet now, these two siblings had appeared simultaneously, arrived in Lingzhou City, and moved into Prince Jing's Residence.

Su Han absolutely did not believe this was just a coincidence, much less that they were an ordinary pair of siblings.

So... why had they come to Lingzhou City?
