Chu Feng stayed in the lounge for a while, then got ready to leave because it was just about time for Senior Sister Yuyan’s match.
So, Chu Feng went with Bai Yuyan to the fourth-rank cultivators’ arena.
“Junior Brother, be good and wait here for your Senior Sister~”
Bai Yuyan smiled gracefully.
“Yes, alright, Senior Sister Yuyan.”
Chu Feng nodded.
Bai Yuyan brought Chu Feng to a relatively secluded spot before going off to draw lots.
Chu Feng looked at the arena. It was still under repair at the moment, and judging by the extent of the damage, the entire platform was nearly destroyed.
“Next up, Heaven’s Pinnacle Sect, Number Eight!”
As the voice rang out, a graceful figure lightly landed on the platform.
In an instant, the crowd erupted in awe. After all, she was beautiful!
Just as Chu Feng was wondering who Senior Sister Yuyan’s opponent might be, a chill suddenly crept over him.
Someone was targeting him!?
“Who’s there!?”
Chu Feng quickly turned around and saw a young man in black robes staring at him with a half-smile.
Chu Feng recognized him. He was the one who had tried to chat up Senior Sister Yuyan before they departed.
“Sharp instincts. You’re Chu Feng, right?”
Qian Wenxuan slowly approached Chu Feng.
This guy was clearly up to no good!
Chu Feng discreetly took out his bead, just in case.
As for whether it could block an attack from a third-rank cultivator…
Come on, you can insult the protagonist, but don’t insult the protagonist’s treasures.
Would the protagonist ever fancy something that wasn’t top-tier?
“Yes, that’s me. May I ask what business Senior Brother has with me?”
“Business? Oh, there is something, actually.”
Qian Wenxuan’s gaze drifted to the graceful figure on the platform, his eyes filled with infatuation.
Watching the black-robed youth’s behavior, Chu Feng had a guess. Was this guy one of Senior Sister Yuyan’s admirers?
Well, it made sense. Even though he’d been seeing her almost every day lately, there were still moments when he found himself stunned by her beauty.
She was just too beautiful!
When your facial features are flawless, your values tend to follow your looks.
Looks are justice!
Seriously, Chu Feng had been fed up with that bunch of guys in armor and spandex for a long time!
That was what Chu Feng was thinking deep down. But unfortunately, ever since coming to this world, there was no one who could understand those thoughts anymore.
After a moment, Qian Wenxuan slowly said, “I’ve admired Senior Sister for a long time. She’s the woman I appreciate most in all of Heaven’s Pinnacle Sect. From the very first moment I laid eyes on her, I made a decision…anyone who gets close to her will be treated with one attitude. Want to know what that is?”
“Not really.”
Chu Feng blurted it out. Looking at this black-robed guy….he didn’t even know him, yet the guy came over and started rambling. If Chu Feng weren’t weaker, he would’ve kicked him out already.
“You—!”
Qian Wenxuan looked at Chu Feng and let out a few cold laughs.
“Well, aren’t you a sharp-tongued one?”
With a flick of his wrist, a cold flash gleamed in Qian Wenxuan’s hand.
Whoosh!
Chu Feng had been tuning out the black-robed guy’s rambling when he suddenly heard the subtle sound of something slicing through the air.
Not good!
Chu Feng quickly dodged and immediately activated the bead. Although he managed to avoid the guy’s shameless sneak attack—
Because he was just a little slow activating the bead, he still ended up slightly injured. A thin cut appeared on his face, and a trickle of blood began to ooze out.
“Senior Brother, are you trying to harm a fellow sect member!?”
At that moment, a protective light shield covered Chu Feng’s body.
Qian Wenxuan stared at the shield in surprise. He hadn’t expected this guy to have such a powerful defensive treasure.
“You’re joking, Junior Brother. I was merely offering a bit of guidance. I hope you’ll remember…there are some things you should touch, and some you shouldn’t.”
At that moment, thunderous applause erupted from the arena. Chu Feng looked up. The match had ended. The winner, of course, was Bai Yuyan.
Seeing this, Qian Wenxuan didn’t dare linger a moment longer and quickly left.
Chu Feng watched the man’s departing figure and wiped the blood off his face.
Tch! Bully the weak and fear the strong!
Noted in the little black book!
Suddenly, a faint and elegant fragrance wafted over.
“Junior Brother, thank you for waiting.”
A gentle, graceful voice sounded beside his ear.
Chu Feng looked up to see Senior Sister Yuyan appear in front of him in an instant.
“Congratulations on your victory, Senior Sister Yuyan!”
Chu Feng smiled sincerely and offered his heartfelt congratulations.
“Junior Brother, I—”
Bai Yuyan had just begun to speak when she suddenly froze.
Because she saw it…a faint cut on her Junior Brother’s face.
Who!? Who dared hurt her Junior Brother!?
Bai Yuyan raised her delicate hand and gently caressed Chu Feng’s cheek when her voice turned icy:
“Junior Brother, who hurt you?”
“N-No one. I just… scratched myself accidentally with my fingernail earlier.”
Chu Feng didn’t mention what had just happened. Senior Sister Yuyan treated him so well; he didn’t want her to worry any further.
As for that man earlier… a gentleman’s revenge is never too late, even after ten years.
Hearing Chu Feng say this, Bai Yuyan lightly pressed her cherry lips together.
Although her Junior Brother didn’t want to speak, she could sense the faint aura lingering on his wound. With that, she could lock onto the culprit. It was Qian Wenxuan!
“Junior Brother, how could you be so careless? Senior Sister has some ointment for you.”
Since her Junior Brother didn’t want to talk about it, Bai Yuyan wouldn’t press him further.
Everything. She would handle it herself.
***
Inside a room, a black-robed youth drank in sullen silence.
Bang!
The wine flask slammed onto the table.
Thinking back to Bai Yuyan’s closeness with Chu Feng, Qian Wenxuan grew so furious that he grabbed the flask in his hand and hurled it to the ground.
Crash!
Shards scattered everywhere.
The floor was littered with fragments.
Qian Wenxuan immediately snatched up another flask and drank in heavy gulps.
Suddenly, amidst the stench of alcohol, a faint, elegant fragrance arose.
Turning around, Qian Wenxuan saw an incredibly beautiful face appear in his sight.
“Senior Sister!”
Qian Wenxuan muttered in a daze.
“Today… the wound on Junior Brother’s face…it was you, wasn’t it?”
The corners of Bai Yuyan’s lips curved ever so slightly, her beautiful eyes brimming with a smile.
Yet that smile sent a chill down one’s spine.
In an instant, cold sweat drenched Qian Wenxuan’s back.
“S-Senior Sister, it… it wasn’t me…”
This terrifying side of Bai Yuyan…Qian Wenxuan had never seen it before. In the past, though she carried an air of aloofness within the Heaven’s Pinnacle Sect, she had never been like this, never so utterly frightening.
“What right do you have to harm him! Even I cannot bear to let Junior Brother suffer the slightest grievance…yet you dared to wound him!”
Bai Yuyan’s expression remained calm as she walked toward Qian Wenxuan.
Even in his duel with Li Yuanwu, her Junior Brother had only ended up with some torn clothes, his blood and qi surging, and his true energy exhausted. In other words, he had come away virtually unscathed.
Otherwise, even if her Junior Brother had won, she would have still gone to settle accounts with Li Yuanwu.
Winning was one matter.
But letting her Junior Brother be injured…that was something else entirely.
“No! Th-This… this is all… all a misunderstanding! Senior Sister! A misunderstanding!”
Qian Wenxuan trembled all over, terrified out of his wits.
“Hehe…”
At his words, Bai Yuyan’s face bloomed with a bewitching smile.
Seeing this, Qian Wenxuan’s scalp went numb.
Crack!
The sound of bones shattering rang out.
“Ahhh!!”
A miserable scream burst from Qian Wenxuan’s mouth. In an instant, his body collapsed and he grew powerless. His leg! His leg!
A demon! Bai Yuyan was a demon!
Seeing Qian Wenxuan’s pitiful state, Bai Yuyan remained utterly indifferent.
Lowering her head, she noticed a few specks of blood on her dress. Scarlet flames rose up, and in the blink of an eye, the stains vanished without a trace.
“Mmm~ I should head back and cook for Junior Brother. Ah, I can’t wait to see how he’ll praise me~”
At that thought, Bai Yuyan’s mood suddenly brightened, and she left with ease.
Behind her, crimson flames roared, burning fiercely.
