"What are you looking at? Watching me cultivate? You don't mean to steal my techniques, do you?" Ye Feng laughed.

"No, that's not what I meant. It's just that when the master was cultivating, he emitted a faint aura, and I couldn't help myself out of curiosity," Zhao Ruyan explained.

Ye Feng didn't continue on this topic, but instead asked, "Today is the first session of the Alchemy Competition, right?"

“Yes.” Zhao Ruyan nodded.

"Then what are we waiting for? Take me there," Night Wind said.

“There’s still an hour until the opening ceremony of the Alchemy Conference, Master Feng, why don’t you come with me to the dining hall for a meal?” Zhao Ruyan said.

"I don't need it," Ye Feng shook his head.

“But I…” Zhao Ruyan’s cheeks flushed slightly.

Night Breeze then suddenly realized.

Having already reached the Void Returning Realm, I no longer need to eat; I can sustain my existence simply by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

However, Zhao Ruyan was clearly not up to the task. She was merely a martial artist of a certain level and status, and could not do that yet, so eating was essential for her.

“Alright, I’ll go with you,” Ye Feng said.

Zhao Ruyan was immediately embarrassed, feeling like she was about to lose face.

She was supposed to be the one serving Ye Feng, but now she's making Ye Feng accompany her to dinner; this is simply turning the tables.

After leaving the guest room, Ye Feng followed Zhao Ruyan to the Sun Sect's dining hall.

The Sun Sect's dining hall is very spacious, enough to accommodate thousands of people, and the food here is very exquisite, all made of spiritual rice, spiritual grains, spiritual birds and animals, with the rice and meat containing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Ye Feng only ordered a small portion of food for himself, while Zhao Ruyan ordered several portions.

It seems that every woman has a sweet tooth.

Ye Feng thought to himself, then lowered his head and focused on enjoying his meal, while Zhao Ruyan kept trying to talk to him.

After spending a day together, the two had become much closer and were no longer as awkward as they had been the day before.

Just as the meal was about to be finished, a voice suddenly came from afar.

"Feng Ye, it's you!"

Ye Feng turned his head and immediately saw someone he was completely familiar with.

Li Huilong, disciple of the Sect Master of the Sun Sect!

Moreover, Li Huilong was not alone; he was accompanied by several young men.

Those young men were all inner disciples of the Sun Sect, but their strength was no match for Li Huilong's. None of them had reached the Transcendent Realm; they were mostly at the Divine Travel Realm.

"It's me."

Night Breeze didn't even get up; he remained seated in his chair.

Li Huilong strode over with his group of inner disciples, standing menacingly in front of Ye Feng, exuding a strong killing intent.

Ye Feng simply looked at him with a smile, his expression utterly calm.

People around noticed this scene and looked over curiously.

"What's going on? Why is Senior Brother Li so resentful towards that person?"

"Yes, it's really strange."

"Are you guys so out of touch? You still don't know about things that happened a few days ago?"

"That person is called Feng Ye. He's a peak Transcendent Realm expert who appeared out of nowhere. He was fighting with Senior Brother Li at the Sun family's residence in Sunwheel City..."

What was the result?

"If Senior Brother Li had won, do you think he would still be so resentful?"

"What? Senior Brother Li actually lost to that person? How is that possible? Senior Brother Li is the pride of our Sun Sect! He has reached the peak of the Transcendent Realm in less than three hundred years of cultivation. Although he can't be said to be unprecedented or unparalleled, he is still very impressive!"

"That Feng Ye is also a peak Transcendent Realm martial artist, and he also possesses a magic weapon!"

"My God, is it really a magic weapon?"

"Nonsense! Otherwise, how could Senior Brother Li have lost to him?"

The people around were all whispering and talking, and the voices were getting louder and louder.

Zhao Ruyan only learned about the feud between Ye Feng and Li Huilong after hearing the discussions around her, and she was extremely surprised.

"I didn't expect you to come to our Sun Sect. It seems you're here to participate in the Alchemy Conference!" Li Huilong said coldly.

"So what if I am? You don't welcome me?" Night Wind laughed.

Li Huilong gritted his teeth and said, "I just don't welcome you, so what can you do about it? Feng Ye, let me tell you, I'm the one hosting this alchemy conference. You dare to come to our Sun Sect to participate in the alchemy conference after offending me? You really don't know your place!"

"I've always been arrogant and ignorant. Does Young Master Li perhaps want to teach me?" Ye Feng said nonchalantly.

Li Huilong was even more furious now, and he clenched his fists, ready to strike.

Seeing this, Zhao Ruyan quickly stepped in front of Ye Feng and said with a forced smile, "Senior Brother Li, even if you have a grudge against this Master Feng, you must consider the bigger picture. If you fight with Master Feng here, what will the other alchemists who came to participate in the alchemy conference think?"

"If the sect leader finds out too, it will be even worse."

Hearing Zhao Ruyan's words, Li Huilong finally calmed down a bit.

Just then, a burst of laughter came from afar.

"Senior Brother, you're still as irritable as ever."

Everyone looked in the direction from which the sound came, and saw a handsome young man approaching from afar.

Who else could it be but Chen Xinghe, Li Huilong's second junior brother!

Chen Xinghe walked over, fanning himself with a fan, and said with a smile, "Senior Brother, no matter what, this Master Feng is an alchemist who has been invited to participate in our sect's alchemy conference. How can you yell at him like that? It would be inappropriate if Master found out."

"Did you invite him?" Li Huilong asked.

Chen Xinghe, of course, would not admit to this, and shook his head, saying, "I don't know who invited Master Feng. Our sect sent out so many invitations, and I haven't read every single one of them. How would I know?"

Li Huilong was furious, but Chen Xinghe's words were watertight, and he couldn't find an opportunity to lash out.

After a long pause, Li Huilong finally said, "We'll see!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Huilong led the inner disciples away.

Chen Xinghe glanced at Li Huilong's departing figure, then smiled and said to Ye Feng, "Master Feng, you really came. You didn't disappoint me."

"Such a grand event, of course I must attend," Ye Feng said with a smile.

Chen Xinghe then asked, "Master Feng, how are your preparations going? Are you confident?"

"Of course we're confident," Night Wind nodded.

"That's good. As for my senior brother, you don't need to worry. Even if he really wanted to do something, he wouldn't do it at the alchemy competition. I can guarantee that." Chen Xinghe said confidently.
