Grandpa Ferdi didn't teach everyone.

Montgomery once approached Ferdinand, wanting him to become Lyrael's teacher, but Ferdinand refused without hesitation.

Ferdi's actions successfully offended Montgomery.

This also made Lyle harbor resentment towards him.

Montgomery also told his father, the patriarch, about Ferdinand's decision to refuse to become Lyrael's teacher.

The patriarch and Ferdi were of the same generation. Although he was the patriarch, he had no authority over Ferdi and had no right to blame him.

The chieftain merely offered some words of advice to Ferdi.

As a result, Ferdinand still refused to become Lyrael's teacher.

Meng Tuo was still not giving up and reported the matter to the patriarch.

When the patriarch learned of this, he didn't say anything, only that he respected Ferdi's decision and allowed another mentor from the Lyleil family to become his student.

Later, Ferdinand took Gao Xiang as his apprentice and devoted himself to teaching him, a move that puzzled many in the Carroll family.

"Greetings, Grandpa Ferdi."

"Hmm, you seem different."

Having been a mentor for many years, Ferdi possessed exceptional observational skills and quickly noticed that Gao Xiang was somewhat different.

But he couldn't pinpoint exactly where the difference was.

"Grandpa Ferdi, has there been any result regarding the matter I asked you to inquire about?"

"I have already inquired with Ponte Wedi."

"And the result?"

At this point, Gao Xiang seemed a little impatient.

"Ponte specifically asked the elder in charge of household registration in the Weidi family, and the elder said that there was no little guy named Gaosheng in the entire Weidi family."

"What about the big one?"

Ferdi frowned and looked at Gao Xiang with a strange expression.

After a three-second silence, he slowly spoke:

"Don't worry, I've specifically asked around, and whether it's a child, an adult, or even someone who has passed away, there isn't a single person named Gao Sheng."

"oh."

Gao Xiang immediately felt dejected.

In this timeline, if Gao Sheng Wei Di hadn't been born yet, then Luo Feng definitely hadn't been born either.

Although Gao Sheng Wei Di was not born yet, the Nolan Mountain family had already appeared.

The Nuoshanlan family is not yet a top family in the Carlo Empire, but they have already established a branch in the Qiulong Empire, and are competitors with the old-established Carlo family of Qiulong Star.

Gao Xiang estimates that Luo Feng is at most 80,000 years away from birth.

He had already made his plans.

If he is not strong enough 80,000 years later, he can find Luo Feng and become Luo Feng's early angel investor.

"You didn't come to visit me today just to inquire about my promotion, did you?"

Gao Xiang rarely visited Ferdinand's estate unless he had a specific reason for visiting.

In the vast majority of cases, it was Ferdi who condescended to take the initiative to seek out Gao Xiang.

In the eyes of the other members of the Carroll family, Gao Xiang's lack of initiative in pursuing his studies was simply a waste of his talents.

Fortunately, Gao Xiang's talent and growth over the years have been mediocre, which has made the envious and jealous Carol family members feel a bit more at ease.

"Of course not."

Inquiring about the promotion was just a side thing.

"Tell me, in which aspect of your cultivation have you encountered a problem?"

Fei Di treated Gao Xiang like his own son, sharing everything he knew, always available whenever he was called upon, and without reservation.

"I want to test my brain capacity."

"Why are you testing this?"

"I may have recently activated the genes inherited from my father and mother, and my progress as a spiritual practitioner has been rapid."

Gao Xiang made up a random excuse.

Ferdi frowned.

Judging from Gao Xiang's expression, he didn't seem to be joking.

for real?

Unleashing latent genes is extremely rare; it's not that it doesn't exist, but in all his years of life, Ferdi had never seen a living example.

"Stop right there!"

He knew that Gao Xiang was under a lot of pressure and was also working very hard in his training.

However, wasting time, energy, and resources on cultivating spiritual power is a desecration of a mere thousand-year lifespan for a planetary-level being.

He continued, "You only have ten years to gain the family's recognition. After ten years, if you haven't achieved anything as a martial artist or a spiritual master, the family will definitely strip you of your potential for special training and cut off all your cultivation resources. Several years later, you will be unable to break through to the Hengxing level and will eventually turn into a handful of dust."

"Even if you are fortunate enough to become a star level, you will still have to earn your cultivation resources on your own, just like me."

Ferdi was a peer of the clan chief, and the two were equally talented in their youth.

Later, he went astray in his spiritual practice.

Later, his strength improved slowly.

Now, the gap in strength between him and the clan leader is enormous.

His ability to become a top mentor in the family is largely due to the fact that he once took many wrong turns.

Having taken the wrong path many times, one naturally knows how to guide students to the right path.

It was all tears.

Although Gao Xiang was not his most talented student, nor his favorite disciple, he was definitely a disciple he treated like his own son.

Some younger members of the family privately gossiped that Gao Xiang was actually Fei Di's illegitimate son.

After all, what family's top mentor would teach a mediocre family member without expecting anything in return?

Gao Xiang did not try to explain himself.

With a thought, the long sword on his back immediately floated up.

The longsword seemed to have grown wings and a head, and began to gesture in the air.

In the past two weeks, Gao Xiang has been practicing a secret technique for spiritual mastery at the apprentice level.

Now, he has mastered this secret technique to perfection.

Gao Xiang used the long sword to unleash the highest level of this secret technique.

"What's going on?"

Ferdi's angry expression quickly turned into one of disbelief.

Gao Xiang's ability to control his mental power is exceptionally outstanding among ninth-level apprentices.

"Back then, Feng Tang's control was probably only at this level."

Feng Tang was a student personally taught by Ferdinand, and he was well aware of the latter's control abilities.

The mental cultivation technique that Gao Xiang just used is the same one that Feng Tang learned.
