“Because the final selection for the academy will only have thirteen people……”
Xiao Ruo Feng smiled and said, “In all the cities of Beili, plus the noble families in Tianqi City, there are countless martial artists who want to participate in the selection.”
“So, I’m here in Qian Dong City to take away one person, and the number is not just few, but rather, too many!”
“And, I must take this person with me.”
“What if this person isn’t here?”
Bai Li Cheng Feng put down the teacup in his hand, understanding Xiao Ruo Feng’s intentions; he had come to take Bai Li Dong Jun away.
“Then I can only trouble the Crown Prince to come with me to Tianqi City. The Crown Prince’s talent is quite good, you see, the Master has been eyeing you for many years…”
Xiao Ruo Feng’s smile didn’t diminish as he said, “Although you’re a little old now, I think the Master won’t mind.”
“And what about me? Am I good enough for the Master’s eyes?”
At this moment, a voice with a hint of laughter came from afar. Everyone looked up and saw a middle-aged man with a wine flask hanging from his waist walking into the main hall.
“This is my wife’s brother, Wen Hu Jiu of the Wen family.”
Bai Li Cheng Feng introduced, “These gentlemen are…”
“You don’t need to introduce them, they’re old acquaintances.”
Wen Hu Jiu first glared at Ye Feng, Lei Meng Sha, and the others, then his gaze fell on Xiao Ruo Feng. He casually bowed his hand in greeting, “You must be the academy’s Master?”
“I have heard of your name for a long time.”
“Tangmen of Shu, Lei Li Tang of Jiangnan, Ling Shan’s old brand…”
Xiao Ruo Feng stood up and returned the bow, “The three great families of the martial world, Wen Hu Jiu, the future head of the Wen family, I have heard of your name for a long time!”
“‘Future Head’ isn’t quite the right word, is it?”
Wen Hu Jiu tilted his head and took a sip of wine, snorting, “Would anyone in Tianqi City dare speak of the future emperor? That’s a capital offense, wouldn’t you say?”
“What about speaking of the future head in the Wen family?”
Xiao Ruo Feng challenged.
“Then…”
Wen Hu Jiu swallowed the wine, lightly exhaled, “I’d poison you.”
As he spoke, the thick alcoholic fumes didn’t immediately dissipate but condensed into a mass of mist that flew toward Xiao Ruo Feng. The young masters beside him turned pale instantly, but Xiao Ruo Feng, without haste or rush, raised a finger and drew a line. True Qi circulated as he brushed away the mist.
“Not bad, almost at the peak of Xiaoyao, right?”
Wen Hu Jiu plopped down next to Ye Feng, “Unfortunately, you’re still a bit behind this guy…”
“Senior Wen, mind your words.”
Ye Feng kindly reminded Wen Hu Jiu, “I’m at least two levels stronger than him…”
！！！
【Ding! Emotion value from Wen Hu Jiu +100!】
【Ding! Emotion value from Xiao Ruo Feng +100!】
【Ding! From…】
“You think you’re so smart!”
Wen Hu Jiu glared at Ye Feng with annoyance, feigning viciousness, “You think I wouldn’t poison you and Lei Meng Sha to silence you?”
Lei Meng Sha: “Me??!”
“If I recall correctly, Senior Wen owes us a favor, right?”
Ye Feng didn’t care, raising his sword eyebrow, “You’re treating your benefactor like this?”
“Fine, I can’t argue with you!”
Wen Hu Jiu raised his hand in surrender, then turned to Xiao Ruo Feng, “Master, I have a question. May I ask for your guidance…”
“Please speak, Senior.”
Xiao Ruo Feng maintained his smile.
“Such a fine jade is right in front of you, why does the academy need to look further?”
Wen Hu Jiu raised his eyebrow, sticking out his thumb to point at Ye Feng.
“If Young Master Ye is willing to participate in the academy’s selection, the academy will be delighted to welcome him. Unfortunately…”
Xiao Ruo Feng said calmly, “Young Master Ye is not from Qian Dong City after all.”
Hearing this.
Bai Li Cheng Feng’s expression turned gloomy. He knew Xiao Ruo Feng was coming with ill intentions, “Since this is the case, why don’t we meet the young disciples chosen from Qian Dong City first. After that, we will escort you all to the guest rooms.”
“That’s fine.”
Xiao Ruo Feng nodded.
“Bring them in.”
After Bai Li Cheng Feng shouted this, a person carrying a long spear walked in.
He was tall and strong, his eyes filled with ferocity. He walked with a powerful stride.
He slammed the spear on the ground, shaking the entire main hall, “I am Li Ba Chen. Greetings to the Crown Prince, greetings to the envoy from the academy.”
“Haha…”
Seeing Li Ba Chen, Lei Meng Sha, Luo Xuan, and the other young masters couldn’t help but burst into laughter. Even Xiao Ruo Feng barely held back his smile.
“What are you all laughing at?”
Bai Li Cheng Feng frowned.
Xiao Ruo Feng shook his head, “My Master has been in charge of the academy for decades. He has an unwritten rule, only admitting disciples with a ‘noble air.’ If my Master sees this young brother, he’ll probably turn his back in anger.”
Li Ba Chen’s face flushed red, and he was already angry.
“We of the Po Feng Army are all from the military. If the Master is looking for nobles, then you’ve come to the wrong place!”
Bai Li Cheng Feng’s face darkened.
“But the Crown Prince does have that noble air.” Xiao Ruo Feng still smiled.
Li Ba Chen finally couldn’t hold back, he swung the spear, “Then you send a noble to fight, let’s see who wins!”
But as soon as he swung the spear, it was blocked by Xiao Ruo Feng’s sword.
The sword hadn’t been drawn, but the hilt easily rested an inch from Li Ba Chen’s neck, instantly revealing the difference in their abilities.
