“Senior Wen, Brother Ye is actually my Lei Meng Sha…”
Lei Meng Sha was about to continue, but Wen Hu Jiu stopped him with a raised hand: “Young Master Zhuo Mo, I’m in a bit of a hurry. Could you please hold off on talking for now?”
“Ah, hahahaha…”
Lei Meng Sha awkwardly chuckled: “Since Senior has spoken, this junior will naturally comply…”
“This nephew of mine has been a bit of a nuisance to you all these past few days.”
Wen Hu Jiu smiled and exchanged pleasantries, his gaze sweeping over Ye Feng as he clasped his fists: “Little brother, you are quite young yet your swordsmanship is exceptional. May I ask your name?”
“Ye Feng.”
Ye Feng returned the salute with a bow, acknowledging the greeting.
“Ye Feng? A good name!”
Wen Hu Jiu nodded, then turned to Gu Jian Men and asked: “I wonder how Young Master Gu intends to handle matters here?”
“Yan Bie Tian is dead, the debt owed to my Gu family has been repaid!”
Gu Jian Men glanced at Yan Liu Li and sighed: “I am not as heartless as Yan Bie Tian. Those from the Yan Mansion can leave, but the wedding is off…”
“Please, Miss Yan, lead the Yan Mansion people away. All grudges end today!”
“If anyone still seeks vengeance for the head of the family, then I, Gu Jian Men, will accept the challenge!”
Upon hearing this.
A flicker of sadness crossed Yan Liu Li’s face before it returned to its cold composure: “Yan Bie Tian’s death was a consequence of his own actions. My Yan family has no complaints!”
“But the wedding, it will still be held!”
“With whom?”
Gu Jian Men was stunned.
“Him!”
Yan Liu Li pointed at Gu Luo Li, who lay inside the coffin.
“Interesting, interesting…”
Wen Hu Jiu laughed loudly, turned around, and pulled Bai Li Dong Jun up, leaping onto the courtyard wall: “The following matters are none of our concern. Please allow me to depart with my nephew first!”
Si Kong Chang Feng held his spear, his gaze filled with a touch of envy towards Bai Li Dong Jun.
Bai Li Dong Jun turned his head, meeting Si Kong Chang Feng’s eyes. In that moment, a wave of sadness suddenly swept through Bai Li Dong Jun’s heart. But before he could speak, Wen Hu Jiu, with a flick of his long sleeve, smiled: “This little Spear Immortal, are you not coming with us?”
“Me?!”
Si Kong Chang Feng was momentarily stunned. He hadn’t expected a renowned figure like this to invite him, a mere Jianghu Hunzi, to accompany him.
But…
For some reason, Si Kong Chang Feng turned back and glanced at Ye Feng, who was nonchalantly munching on a chicken leg. He nodded, then, with a leap, raised his spear: “Little brother Ye, then Chang Feng will take his leave first!”
“See you in the world!”
Ye Feng, holding his chicken leg, bowed slightly. He glanced at his system and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
The Gu family alone had given him over twenty thousand points in emotional value. He was only seven thousand points away from the ‘Fu Yao Po Jing Dan’.
After Bai Li Dong Jun and Si Kong Chang Feng left with Wen Hu Jiu…
The Gu and Yan families still held a Ming Hun. With the Northern Realm’s young masters as witnesses, Yan Liu Li, the sole heir of the Yan family, was married to Gu Luo Li, the deceased head of the Gu family, with the promise of an eternal bond.
The news spread, causing much discussion in the martial arts world, with various opinions emerging.
Outside of Chai Sang City.
An exquisite and luxurious carriage stood on the road. A young servant girl, dressed in green, sat in front, holding the reins, constantly glancing back towards the city gate, seemingly waiting for something.
Soon.
A figure with white hair and one with purple robes emerged from the city and quickly arrived at the carriage, bowing respectfully: “Miss, we failed.”
“The young man who was with Bai Li Dong Jun, his swordsmanship was extraordinary, far beyond a mere Xiaoyao Tianjing!”
“Elder Li and the others?”
The carriage curtains gradually lifted, and a woman clad in a white gauze dress stepped out.
In that instant, even the bright moon seemed to dim its light.
“Elder Li was shattered by that young man’s single strike…”
The man with white hair took a deep breath. He still felt a lingering fear of that sword strike, as vast and powerful as a great river.
“If not for Miss’s presence, I and Yu Ji would have been doomed to perish as well!”
“My presence?”
A clear voice, pure as spring water, flowed from the woman’s lips. A pair of star-bright eyes filled with confusion. Her delicate brows were slightly furrowed: “What is his name?”
Earlier that day, she had seen Ye Feng.
But her mind searched in vain for any memories that matched this person.
“His name is Ye Feng!”
The man with purple robes had firmly memorized that name.
“Ye Feng?”
The woman quietly repeated the name, offering no explanation: “Let’s go.”
“Yes, Miss.”
……………………
The next day, Gu Family Estate.
Ye Feng woke up from his cultivation. He felt a peculiar energy flowing through his body, but it vanished the moment he opened his eyes.
“So this is the true art of cultivation in a world of immortals. It seems it will take some time to enter this path!”
The 《Tai Ji Xuan Qing Dao》was a true cultivation method. Even those with extraordinary talent would require ten to fifteen days just to grasp the basics.
“Brother Ye, you’re awake?”
At that moment, Lei Meng Sha’s voice came from outside. He opened the door and saw Luo Xuan standing beside him. As for Young Master Liu Yue, he disliked crowds and had already left with Mo Xiao Hei before the Ming Hun took place.
“Now that things here are settled, we need to leave Chai Sang City as well.”
Luo Xuan clasped his fists and asked: “Little brother Ye, what are your plans for the future?”
“What plans are there? Brother Ye and I have met by fate. How about we go back to Tian Qi City together?”
Before Ye Feng could answer, Lei Meng Sha grinned, a smile splitting his face: “Tian Qi City is the current number one city. Its prosperity is unimaginable, especially the Wan Hua Lou…”
“Lei Er, dare you go there?”
Luo Xuan rolled his eyes at Lei Meng Sha and interrupted his rambling: “Little brother Ye practices the sword, so you must know that the renowned Ming Jian Mountain Villa’s three-year sword testing competition will be held in a few days…”
“Brother Ye, are you interested in joining us and picking up a good sword?!”
The Northern Realm practiced swordsmanship while the Southern Realm practiced martial arts. This sword testing competition was definitely considered a top event for the Northern Realm’s martial arts world.
“I’m not really interested in taking a sword…”
“But I’m quite curious about the Wan Hua Lou that Old Lei mentioned. When we get to Tian Qi City, please personally take me to visit it!”
Ye Feng pondered for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face: “A gentleman’s word is his bond. I’m sure that the dignified Young Master Zhuo Mo wouldn’t be a man of broken promises, would you?”
“Should I go explain this to Aunt?”
Lei Meng Sha: “(⊙ω⊙)？！”
Luo Xuan: “(≧▽≦)!”
A shiver ran down Lei Meng Sha’s spine. An image of that unyielding chicken feather duster immediately popped into his mind!
