The call of "Elder Brother" was all that Wen Yu could do to address the current situation.
Upon hearing this "Elder Brother," the Heavenly Dao slowly closed its eyes...
The cold gaze in front gradually disappeared, but the malice coming from behind only grew stronger.
Wen Yu could not discern the attitude of the Heavenly Dao, nor could those behind him. All he could do was wait—wait for the Heavenly Dao to speak.
And those behind him were also waiting, waiting for the Heavenly Dao to deny Wen Yu’s identity—then, in just a second, dozens of sixth-level limit breakers stronger than Wen Yu could turn him into a puddle of flesh!
…
The atmosphere grew increasingly tense, and Wen Yu felt cold sweat begin to seep from his forehead. His hands remained in a respectful bow, not daring to lower them, as his body felt as if it were under a paralysis spell, completely unable to move.
Until the Heavenly Dao slowly opened its eyes.
The coldness in its eyes gradually melted away, replaced by a clear and palpable joy and excitement.
The tall and slender figure took two steps forward, and a smile more excited than Wen Yu's lit up the Heavenly Dao's face as it gently grasped Wen Yu’s shoulders.
"Junior Brother, it's been a long time. You've grown..."
…
"Whoa! This is so freakin' thrilling!"
Wen Yu let out a heavy sigh of relief in his heart—his identity was confirmed, and the Heavenly Dao acknowledged him as the young master.
As the only eleventh-level transcendent strongman in the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance, the Heavenly Dao’s words were like an imperial decree—upon hearing "Junior Brother," all doubts regarding Wen Yu's identity would surely dissipate.
Sensing the malicious gazes from behind completely vanish, Wen Yu turned to Luo Hai beside him and humbly said, "I've heard much about the Great Luo Alliance Master from my father before his passing; today, I finally have the honor of meeting you."
With everyone lifting the bridal sedan, saying a few good words wouldn't cost him anything. Back on Earth, Wen Yu had been exceptionally strong, and thus he had no qualms, but here, maintaining that same attitude would be akin to courting death!
Upon hearing Wen Yu’s flattery, Great Luo smiled and waved his hand.
"That Heaven-Piercing guy never says anything nice about me. But today, seeing the son of Heaven-Piercing for the first time, I can vaguely see the former grandeur of Heaven-Piercing in you. I just hope my nephew doesn't tarnish my big brother's reputation."
Great Luo then turned to Luo Hai beside Wen Yu.
"Luo Hai, prepare for the noon feast."
"Yes, Master."
…
The noon feast was already prepared, proving Luo Hai's competence in handling affairs.
Under Luo Hai’s lead, the Heavenly Dao and Great Luo walked toward the dining area, with Wen Yu just trailing behind the Heavenly Dao.
Along the way, the Heavenly Dao did not say another word to Wen Yu. Although they had recognized each other as "brothers," the Heavenly Dao’s behavior left Wen Yu puzzled.
From start to finish, the Heavenly Dao merely confirmed Wen Yu’s identity, and during the rest of the time, it seemed to intentionally avoid interacting with Wen Yu at all.
Wen Yu was unsure whether this was the Heavenly Dao’s true nature or if there were other intentions behind it. At this moment, all he could do was gradually raise his guard in his heart—despite the Heavenly Dao confirming his identity, the current situation seemed far from the smooth path Wen Yu had imagined.
Conversely, Great Luo was quite warm towards Wen Yu, showering him with concern and warmth. To outsiders, Great Luo seemed more like Wen Yu's "Elder Brother" than the Heavenly Dao at that moment!
The behavior of these two super strongmen made Wen Yu feel anxious until they arrived at the banquet hall, where the Heavenly Dao finally spoke to Wen Yu for the second time.
"Junior Brother, come, sit next to me."
The gentle tone brought a refreshing sense of comfort, and combined with the soft and warm smile on the Heavenly Dao’s face, Wen Yu briefly suppressed the unease in his heart—now, who else could he trust besides the Heavenly Dao?
