Suddenly, she said, "Junior Brother, you mentioned before that Feng Xiongyi might have drugged me. After thinking it over carefully, it does seem possible."
She began to recount slowly... freeweɓnøvel.com
As she spoke, Li Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
By now, he was certain of one thing: the reason the never-before-seen Feiguang Peak Master sent Feng Mengrou was definitely not to tie him down as a genius, but... to anxiously push Feng Mengrou away.
Isn’t Feng Mengrou beautiful?
Of course not.
Senior Sister Feng is very beautiful and charming, truly a rare gem. Especially after she has completely fallen for a man, she becomes dazed and silly, ready to do anything for him, even shouldering grievances, as long as he is happy, she will be too.
Senior Sister Feng is even willing to please another man for the sake of the Feiguang Peak Master’s worthless dream.
What kind of bargaining chip allows Feng Xiongyi to push Senior Sister Feng away so readily?
Li Xuan thought about it and asked directly.
Feng Mengrou, however, shook her head and said, "He’s a very arrogant person; maybe he thinks I’m unimportant?
What else in the Lingyi Sect would make him push me away?
That fat woman? Even less likely...
Besides, the sect has been open for a long time, and that fat woman is almost about to leave."
Li Xuan asked, "Why not leave immediately then?"
Feng Mengrou replied, "Aside from the fact that both are fond of the zither, it’s said they’ve struck another business deal."
Li Xuan asked, "What kind of business?"
Feng Mengrou shook her head slowly, then as if remembering something, said, "Lishan Alliance’s diseased gold."
Immediately, she added, "The production of diseased gold is very limited, and Feng Xiongyi managed to persuade that woman, then used Spirit Treasure to trade for some diseased gold.
The Sect Leader is aware of this as well.
Others in the sect speculate that the main reason for needing so much diseased gold is to forge that mysterious sword."
Li Xuan began to ponder.
His mind had already drifted to the Bronze Plain.
Clearly, the Lingyi Sect is far from tranquil on the surface; perhaps Senior Sister Feng hasn’t noticed, but his intuition tells him... dark currents are surging quietly within the Lingyi Sect, countless hidden whirlpools gently spinning.
Much like the black and white twins on the chessboard, with mutual moves. Dragon pursuits, incompatible forces have not yet formed, but winds rise from dark corners, foreboding does emerge.
Yet, within the chessboard, each piece has its own thoughts. Deceptive, inconsistent inside and out, motives unclear, like a tangled mess.
No matter how skilled you are, once trapped within, you can only play the cat with the yarn ball, soon to be entangled tightly; the more you struggle, the tighter you are bound.
This is quite normal; aren’t all forces like this?
But I only hope that these are just internal scheming within the force and have not involved anything more.
Li Xuan calmed his thoughts.
Faced with a complex situation, his approach is: stay outside the situation.
Therefore, he said, "Senior Sister, I want to go to Bronze Plain for experience, slaying monsters and demons, to hone my skills."
He needs a "Bronze Plain travel permit," and also a "demon distribution map."
Feng Mengrou suddenly said, "I’m worried Feng Xiongyi won’t let you go easily... I mentioned previously that you should join Purple Mist Peak.
No matter what, I’m still the Steward of Feiguang Peak; I can’t leave Feiguang Peak.
And you are my dao companion, a genius that Feng Xiongyi spent resources to bind."
Indeed...
Who would let a genius go to Bronze Plain to fend for himself and slay demons?
"Moreover, Bronze Plain is indeed dangerous; there are even Tier Three monsters.
Such monsters are very terrifying; unless the Sect Leader or Peak Master personally intervenes, our intervention would require piercing with many swords to kill them.
But those monsters can severely harm us in just one move.
Junior Brother, why insist on going there?"
The air grew quiet.
Li Xuan walked to Senior Sister’s side.
Senior Sister’s purple sword robe fluttered in the wind, revealing snowy white calves.
Li Xuan placed his hands on her shoulders, looking at her solemnly, speaking softly, "Senior Sister, I know my own cultivation best.
I need to go to Bronze Plain for training, alone is fine.
This is what I want to do; Senior Sister, can you help me?"
"Alone?" Senior Sister Feng was startled; then she said, "No, I must accompany you! I can’t let you go alone."
Li Xuan laughed, "Does that mean Senior Sister agrees?" frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
Senior Sister Feng mumbled, "What use is my agreement? Unless you suddenly become talentless, then neither the sect nor Feng Xiongyi will bother with you anymore...
Then, I could take you to Bronze Plain as your dao companion, saying it’s for training to help restore your confidence.
Hunting monsters and demons is indeed a dangerous and demanding task. You had remarkable talent before, and last time I caused a stir in the sect, everyone knows I fought for a flying sword for you.
Many in the Nine Towns are suspicious of you, saying your power grows rapidly, nearly reaching the Soldier Lord Realm, which is why I fought for a flying sword for you.
They may smile on the surface, but I know all too well what they’re really thinking. Hmph, I know you far too well!"
Li Xuan thought for a moment, laughed, "So, as long as my talent declines, it’ll work?"
Senior Sister Feng hesitated, then said, "Junior Brother, don’t assume others are naive; those people are all... cunning.
You’ve enjoyed the benefits of being a genius, so you need to serve the sect..."
Li Xuan said, "I understand; Senior Sister, give me half a month’s time, then we can go to the sect together."
Although Feng Mengrou didn’t know what scheme he was up to, she nodded in agreement.
...
...
"People at birth are inherently good.
Natures are similar, habits set them apart.
If not taught, nature changes.
The way to teach is valuably focused."
Loud reading voices drifted from the Divine Martial Monarch’s residence.
Yet within these reading voices, there was one that was extremely discordant.
