A few people stepped into the main hall, where Bai Li Cheng Feng sat with a face as black as charcoal, not even bothering to lift his head.
"Please, have a seat."
Bai Li Luo Chen waved his hand and said straight to the point: "Your Highness, do you really intend to take my only grandson to Tianqi?"
"The one I'm taking away is the most valuable gem the academy needs..."
Xiao Ruofeng, skilled in words, chuckled lightly: "A precious gem and the young master of the Zhenxi Hou Mansion, there's no direct connection between the two..."
"It's just that their identities happen to overlap."
Upon hearing this.
Bai Li Luo Chen's brows furrowed slightly: "My dearest love is this grandson of mine, I'd hoped he could stay far from conflict and live as a carefree, wealthy young master in Qian Dong City. Why, Your Highness, must you thrust him into the abyss?"
"Everyone grows up, and once they do, they can't be carefree..."
Xiao Ruofeng still chuckled lightly: "Houye, you're a man who came from the battlefield, why do you talk like a child?"
"Right..."
Lei Meng Sha couldn't help but interject: "Only fools can remain carefree forever!"
"Bang!"
A sudden, shattering sound of a teacup breaking rose, and Bai Li Cheng Feng, with a face like frost, glared at Lei Meng Sha: "Lei Meng Sha, what did you say?!"
"Didn't I tell you not to speak?"
Xiao Ruofeng reprimanded in a low voice.
"It's the truth!"
Lei Meng Sha flicked his bangs, meeting Bai Li Cheng Feng's cold gaze, unflinching: "Yesterday, he witnessed the death of his own master, and for a long time to come, he'll be haunted by guilt."
"Besides, he's now the inheritor of the West Chu Sword Song, making him a target of swordsmen all over the land. How long can your Zhenxi Hou Mansion protect him?"
As soon as Lei Meng Sha finished speaking, 'Clang'.
Bai Li Cheng Feng drew his long sword from its scabbard: "If we're talking swordsmanship, even the academy's masters wouldn't scare me..."
"How about compared to Master Li of the academy?"
Lei Meng Sha let out a loud, hearty laugh.
"Then you go ask Master Li to speak to me!"
Bai Li Cheng Feng planted his sword on the floor, refusing to yield an inch.
"You're being unreasonable!"
Lei Meng Sha was taken aback, slamming his hand on the table: "Then how about compared to Ye Feng, the Sword Immortal?"
Bai Li Cheng Feng was also provoked: "Then you go ask Ye Feng to speak to me!"
"Alright, no problem!"
Lei Meng Sha suddenly grinned, revealing a look of gleeful cunning: "I can't get Master Li to come, but I can't get little brother Ye to come?"
"Just wait for me, Your Highness!"
!!!
With that, Lei Meng Sha turned and left the Hou Mansion.
Everyone: "..."
On the other side, on the second floor of an inn outside the Zhenxi Hou Mansion.
【Ding! +100 emotion points from Bai Li Cheng Feng!】
【Ding! +100 emotion points from Xiao Ruofeng!】
【Ding! From...】
"Hm, no Lei Meng Sha?"
"Are all these sheep being fleeced by him?"
Seeing the system prompts popping up one after another, even the mighty Ye Feng couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly: "No, system, what does Lei Meng Sha fleecing sheep have to do with me, Ye Feng?!"
"Though, I wouldn't mind..."
Ye Feng strolled out of the guest room, and met Wang Yixing and Song Yan Hui waiting outside.
"Ye Gongzi!"
After giving a salute, Wang Yixing bid farewell: "The Confucian Immortal passed away yesterday, Yixing is here to bid farewell to Ye Gongzi..."
"Though I couldn't complete my sect's mission on this trip, being able to meet Ye Gongzi makes me feel truly honored!"
"Isn't it because you met the wrong person?"
"How can that be!"
Wang Yixing smiled awkwardly: "Until we meet again in the martial world!"
Ye Feng rolled his eyes at Wang Yixing, also returning a salute:
"Until we meet again in the martial world."
Those who wander the martial world, they value shared interests, power and cultivation don't matter as much.
As they were leaving.
Song Yan Hui couldn't help but ask again: "Ye Gongzi, are you really not considering becoming a guest official in my无双城?"
"Get lost!"
Song Yan Hui: "╥﹏╥..."
Looking at Song Yan Hui's dejected figure as he left, Ye Feng couldn't help but envy his good fortune.
If this were his era, his kidneys would be gone by now!
After seeing them off, Ye Feng went to sit at a table on the outer edge of the second floor, then ordered a pot of wine and some snacks to go with it, sitting down to play chess with himself.
"My business here is done, I'll be taking my leave too."
Wen Hu Jiu sat down, right foot propped up, swaying his wine gourd: "Do you remember that young gun-wielding immortal?"
"Si Kong Chang Feng?"
Ye Feng snatched Wen Hu Jiu's wine gourd, taking a swig: "It seems Wen Laobian is planning to visit Yaowang Valley?"
"I won't feel at ease until I beat Xin Bai Cao up!"
Wen Hu Jiu laughed and asked: "Ye Laodi will go to Tianqi?"
"Yes." Ye Feng nodded.
"Since that's the case..."
Wen Hu Jiu took a deep breath, pulled out a stack of 500 tael silver notes from his bosom, and slowly pushed them towards Ye Feng: "Wen has an unfavorable request!"
"Unfavorable request?"
Ye Feng revealed a faint smile: "Wen Laobian, you wouldn't be asking me to be a bodyguard for your nephew, would you?"
"Though I'm not willing to be anyone's bodyguard, considering those 10,000 taels..."
Ye Feng slowly reached out his hand, about to agree.
"On the contrary..."
Wen Hu Jiu snatched his wine gourd back in a flash, chuckling: "I hope you can stay far away from Dong Jun..."
"After all..."
"There's nothing more dangerous in Tianqi City than being with you!"
"Hahaha."
!!!
What the heck?
What does that mean?
You're trying to fleece me?
Seeing Ye Feng's dumbfounded expression, Wen Hu Jiu felt an inexplicable excitement, laughing out loud, suddenly feeling a chill down his spine.
"Let Ye witness the might of the fourth on the Crown Ranking today!"
Ye Feng suddenly raised his hand, his fingers forming a spell: "Sky Thunder, where are you?!"
Words became reality, a flash of lightning appeared.
!!!
【Ding! +100 emotion points from Wen Hu Jiu!】
【Ding! +100 emotion points from Wen Hu Jiu!】
【Ding! +100 emotion points from Wen Hu Jiu!】
...
Many years later, the people of Qian Dong City no longer dared to casually say 'may you be struck by lightning' as an oath...
Because on this day, many people witnessed a martial arts master, with his exceptionally high cultivation, being struck by three bolts of lightning in broad daylight.
The reason they thought he was a martial arts master was because even after being struck by three bolts of lightning, he could still jump around and escape Qian Dong City.
The farewells of martial world practitioners are always strange.
Wen Hu Jiu would rather endure three bolts of lightning than lose to Ye Feng in 'wit'.
"Until we meet again in the martial world!"
Ye Feng looked at Wen Hu Jiu's departing figure, the latter raised his hand, waving it as he left Qian Dong City without looking back.
Then.
Ye Feng put away the 10,000 taels of silver notes, his Qi circulating, he leaped towards the city wall of Qian Dong City with a step of emptiness.
