My Brother's the Protagonist? Good Thing I Awakened My System!

Feng Yun!

Feng Mei's breath caught in her throat, and for a moment, the noise of the crowd, and the world itself seemed to fade away.

Her eyes locked onto him, and everything else became a blur.

He stood with a calm demeanor, his sharp features framed by the gathered participants and clan elders.

His posture was confident, yet there was an air of quiet contemplation about him, as though he was waiting for something—or someone.

It had been far too long and she had missed him so much, every day!

Feng Mei's pulse quickened.

She had thought of him every day over the past two years, wondering what he was doing, wondering if he had eaten, and whether he was well or not.

At the same time, Feng Yun also caught sight of her and stared at her.

Two years!

It has been two years, short for some and very long for others.

For cultivators, it was a very short part of their life, especially the strong ones yet Feng Yun also thought it had been a very long time.

Feng Mei had grown considerably during these two years.

She had grown even more beautiful, with a touch of elegance and an air of untouchability that he sensed in her demeanor.

Their eyes met, and the world seemed to pause.

Feng Yun's gaze softened, a flicker of emotion passing through his usually calm and composed expression.

For a moment, he forgot about the crowd, the competition, and everything else.

Feng Mei felt her heart tighten.

His eyes, deep and steady, held the same warmth she remembered from their childhood.

There was no need for words; their connection had always been unspoken.

The two years they had spent apart melted away in that single moment as if time itself had no power over their bond.

Neither of them moved, yet their gazes conveyed everything they had felt during their separation.

The distance between them, though physically short, carried the weight of two years.

Yet in this fleeting moment, it was as though they were the only two people in the world.

Feng Mei's heart raced, but her resolve was firm.

She turned immediately toward her master, the Sect Leader of the Icy Veil Sect, her movements graceful and confident.

"Master," she began politely, "may I have your permission to leave? My clan is here, and I would like to go to them."

The Sect Leader's cold gaze shifted toward her disciple, then followed the direction of Feng Mei's attention to the Feng Clan.

Her sharp eyes lingered on Feng Chen for a moment before returning to Feng Mei.

She didn't know why, but she always felt oppressed or perhaps in danger whenever she saw Feng Chen.

Although all her senses told her that Feng Chen was just a Three Elements Divine Realm Cultivator, her heart seemed to be wary of him.

"Me too!"

Feng Xiaoyu also chipped in.

"Okay! But let me also come with you. I wish to greet the Feng Clan Leader."

The Sect Leader, Bing Xue, said.

"Thank you, Master!"

"Thank you, Sect Leader!"

Feng Mei and Feng Xiaoyu thanked the sect leader.

The two of them didn't think much about Bing Xue greeting their clan leaders as they knew that the two of them were familiar with each other.

However, these statements shocked the other disciples and elders.

One should know that with Bing Xue's strength, there was no need for her to greet anyone, and she wouldn't even bother if the other person was also a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator.

But now, she said that she wanted to go and greet some small clan leader.

However, they didn't raise any questions or stop her.

Bing Xue led the Icy Veil Sect and changed their direction toward the Feng Clan.

The disciples and elders of the Icy Veil Sect followed behind their Sect Leader in silence, their eyes wide with curiosity as they watched the sect leader's unexpected decision.

Normally, she would remain aloof, keeping to her cold and composed nature, but today, she had chosen to approach the Feng Clan.

As they approached the Feng Clan, the presence of the clan elders and other members became more palpable.

The air seemed to hum with energy as the two groups neared each other.

"Clan Leader, Icy Veil Sect looks like they are coming toward us!"

Feng Zhenshan said nervously.

After all, it was one of the strongest sects of the Azure Sky Empire, and leading them was also a Nascent Soul Realm expert. Discover more stories at empire

Although they knew that the Icy Veil Sect wouldn't do anything, it was because of their strength that Feng Zhenshan and others were nervous.

Unlike them, Feng Chen didn't think much about it.

When they reached the Feng Clan's delegation, Feng Mei bowed respectfully to the elders and clan members, her gaze briefly meeting Feng Yun once more.

This time, she didn't hesitate, giving him a soft, but knowing smile.

Feng Chen, standing at the front of the Feng Clan's group, noticed the subtle exchange between the two.

Of course, although the two of them couldn't wait any longer, they knew that they had to first wait for their elders to greet each other.

Bing Xue, still as serene as ever, stepped forward, her icy aura making her presence even more commanding.

She bowed slightly to Feng Chen, her eyes sharp as she spoke in a polite tone.

"Feng Clan Leader, it is an honor to meet you again!"

Bing Xue's voice was calm, but there was an unmistakable weight to her words.

Feng Chen gave a small nod.

"Sect Leader Bing Xue, it is good to see you again. Thank you for taking care of my clan members!"

Bing Xue's eyes narrowed slightly as she nodded.

At the same time, these interactions between the two caused an uproar among the crowd.

It was rare for Bing Xue to speak, not to mention that the Feng Clan was still considered small and weak by many.

"Oh my, since when did the Icy Veil Sect Leader start to go and greet others?"

"Ah, such a lovely voice! If only she would speak with me, then I would have no regrets."

"They are the Feng Clan, right? What do they have for the Icy Veil Sect Leader to personally greet them?"

…

The murmurs spread quickly through the crowd, as the disciples and elders of various clans exchanged curious glances.

The Icy Veil Sect Leader, Bing Xue, was known for her aloof and reserved nature.

For her to personally greet the Feng Clan, especially when they were considered a lesser clan in comparison to the more prominent ones, was truly unprecedented.

Feng Xiaoyu, eager to engage, stepped forward and greeted the other members of the Feng Clan with a bright smile.

"It's good to see all of you again! How have you been?"

The Feng Clan members smiled warmly at her, though there was a slight unease in their eyes due to Bing Xue's presence.

"Haha… Xiaoyu'er, you have grown so much," Feng Zhilan said as she stroked her head.

"Hehe…"

Feng Xiaoyu smiled. She had missed her clan and was eagerly waiting for this day.

"Xiaoyu, how have you been?"

"What's life like there? Is it really as cold as they say?"

"Sister Xiaoyu, what cultivation realm are you in?"

Feng Clan participants couldn't help but crowd around Feng Xiaoyu and ask various questions.

At the same time, Feng Mei approached Feng Yun, her steps light and graceful, as if the world around them had faded entirely.

The noise of the crowd all seemed distant as she closed the gap between them.

Feng Yun's gaze remained fixed on her, his usual calm expression softening at the sight of her.

The two of them stood face to face, a moment of quiet between them, despite the bustling surroundings.

"Feng Mei," Feng Yun finally spoke, his voice low but filled with warmth.

"It's been a long time!"

His words were simple, but the emotions behind them were clear.

The two years that had passed felt like an eternity to both of them, yet at this moment, it was as if no time had passed at all.

Feng Mei's heart fluttered at the sound of his voice. She smiled softly, her eyes sparkling.

"Yes, too long," she replied, her voice steady despite the rush of emotions flooding her.

"I've missed you!"

A quiet moment passed between them, the connection they shared undeniable.

The world around them seemed to blur again, leaving just the two of them standing together.

"Did you miss me too?"

Feng Mei asked.

"I've thought about you every day," Feng Yun admitted, his gaze unwavering.

Feng Mei's smile deepened, and she reached out, placing a hand on his arm gently.

"We have so much to catch up on," she said softly, her voice almost a whisper.

"I want to know everything you did. Where did you go, what did you eat, who did you meet? Everything!"

Feng Yun nodded again, his lips curving into a small, knowing smile.

"Okay, I will tell you everything."

For a brief moment, the rest of the world seemed to disappear, leaving only the unspoken understanding between them.

Their bond, tested by time and distance, had only grown stronger.

But as the noise of the crowd began to creep back into their awareness, the reality of the situation settled in.

They were still surrounded by others, their reunion only just beginning.
