During dinner, even the normally silent and apparently frosty Yao Mei commented several times. Although she did not seem to feel as free as when she was only with Gu Qianxue and Xie Yao, she was not as bad when compared to when Xie Feng had first met her.

Yao Mei’s butler seemed very surprised to see his young miss chatting with strangers so freely. After all, from a very young age Yao Mei had distanced herself from everyone and no matter how many times her family tried to get close to her all those attempts ended in nothing but miserable failure.

Perhaps, feeling joyful also for Yao Mei’s breakthrough and grateful to the young people in front of him for making such a miracle happened, the old man told several jokes that made the girls laugh several times, thus cheering up the already cheerful atmosphere even more.

After finishing dinner, the old man also insisted with all his might that he would clear the table and also wash the silverware. Due to his strong insistence, the girls had no choice but to let him do whatever he wanted.

Xie Feng said nothing and stood up directly to help the man. After all, the old man was not a casual servant. Besides, Xie Feng had liked the old man quite a bit.

During the course of dinner, Xie Feng had learned that the old man was actually Yao Mei’s uncle and his real name was Yao Shun. The real reason Yao Shun stood by Yao Mei’s side acting as a butler was because he was practically the only member of her family whom she did not reject so strongly except for her own mother.

Seeing that Xie Feng had decided to help and had already stood up, Yao Shun no longer refused and accepted his assistance with a grateful look.

After clearing the table, the two men of different ages began to clean the silverware while engaging in casual and unimportant chatter.

"Young Master Xie, I would like to thank you for taking care of little Mei." Yao Shun suddenly thanked him, surprising Xie Feng a little.

Without stopping his movements, he raised an eyebrow and said puzzled, "What do you mean by taking care of?"

Yao Shun smiled bitterly and slowly explained, "For all people, a dinner like this and a chat between family or between friends is no big deal. But for that girl, this kind of situation is a luxury."

Xie Feng’s eyes glittered slightly with a hint of understanding. He continued to move his hands keeping himself busy as he listened to him attentively.

"In the Yao Family mansion, the environment in which the family eats their meals is not the best. Because little Mei rejects everyone with ferocity except her mother, it’s hard to resist the choking atmosphere every day." Yao Shun patiently explained. "However, for the first time in many years she was able to enjoy such simple happiness once again. That is why I thank you from the bottom of my heart."

As the old man whose hair had turned partially white spoke, Xie Feng noticed that he really loved and cherished his niece very much. His voice was really bitter as he spoke and the sadness in his eyes was undeniable.

After remaining silent for a moment, Xie Feng stopped his movements and asked something that was making him a little annoyed: "If you will excuse my boldness, may I ask what is the motive behind Yao Mei’s attitude? When I first saw her in Beijing and when I saw her again several days later at Shanghai University, her vocabulary was extremely poor and even finishing a simple sentence was difficult for her... This is definitely not normal for a fifteen-year-old girl who is praised as a genius in all aspects."

Hearing the words of the young man beside him, the old man could not help but smile bitterly. How could Yao Mei’s attitude be normal? He also knew perfectly well. Unfortunately, however, there was nothing he could do about it.

After hesitating for a long while, he shook his head and sighed: "I apologize, but I can’t tell the reason. Otherwise, if a word of this comes out it would bring countless troubles."

Xie Feng looked at him for briefly before nodding, "I see."

Since it was something so private, then it was only normal that Yao Shun could not tell him; Xie Feng was not so immature as to not understand something so simple as this.

Just then, Yao Shun spoke softly again, "But, I can tell you that little Mei lost a very important person to her many years ago."

The movements of Xie Feng, who had begun to move his hands again with tasks, stalled slightly for an instant before returning to normal the next second. He nodded silently and continued going about his business without asking or speaking further.

...

...

After everything was over, Yao Mei and Yao SHun returned to their residence.

On the other hand, Xie Feng and the girls went to their respective rooms.

Surprisingly, all of them decided to connect to the virtual world. This surprised Xie Feng very much as he knew very well that Xie Yao and Gu Qianxue usually slept relatively early.

"Anyway tomorrow is Sunday, we can rest all day if necessary." Was the girls’ reply.

Therefore, after saying goodbye to them, Xie Feng returned to the virtual world.

Although he wanted to give those cultivation techniques to the girls, Yin Yue’s appearance and the words he had spoken with Shen Xinya before her arrival had changed many things.

Now, Xie Feng had to look for one for Yin Yue as well, otherwise it would not look good.

Welcome to Samsara world. Wish you a happy reincarnation.

Xie Feng’s eyes opened and the first thing he saw was a strange corridor and a staircase. At first he was stunned, however, he soon remembered that just before logging off he was in a strange passageway into which he had entered after walking through that strange magic door.

Looking behind him he saw that the door was indeed there.

On the other hand, when he looked up, thirty meters in front of him, there was a staircase in an empty space. At the top of the staircase, there was a white-colored barrier, blocking the way up and also preventing the monsters above from escaping downward.

However, at this moment Xie Feng was not very eager to continue climbing the Heaven of Samsara, whose real name was actually Void Tower.

"How important was that person for her to become so reclusive at such a young age?" Xie Feng muttered to himself as he sighed.

After knowing a small part of the reason behind Yao Mei’s attitude and suffering, Xie Feng couldn’t help but feel a touch of sorrow and sorry for her.

Although he did not know how important this person was to her, losing a loved one was probably one of the most painful experiences that could happen to a person in his or her lifetime.

Death was inevitable, a necessary process from a certain point of view.

From our first breath onwards, the clock that represents our lives would start moving downward... All living things die, only each one dies at different times.

Still, although he knew that death was an inevitable fact, it was not beautiful.

"If life is cruel, why shouldn’t death be cruel too?" Xie Feng smiled bitterly as he took out a Void Breaking Stone from his inventory.

"I will definitely become much stronger .... So that life will only be happiness and death will be so scared of me that it won’t even dare to come near me!" Xie Feng’s gaze flashed with determination.

Although he knew that temporarily his words were just naive words, he was definitely going to give his all to achieve his goal. Even if he had to break the bones in his body countless times and suffer the most excruciating physical pains he was willing.

All in order to achieve a happy eternal life together with his beloved ones.

Xie Feng had thousands of faults and he knew it perfectly well; he was selfish, extremely proud of himself and his achievements, arrogant, at certain points aggressive and even cruel. There were so many faults in him that even a whole day was not enough to list them all.

But, at the very least, he thought that he was worthy of the word man.
