Ye Feng opened his all-seeing golden eyes and observed for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It has disappeared."

"That's good." Luo Mengxuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Cheng Feng is already dead. If the Life and Death Reversal Curse on Cheng Xue is still active, the only explanation is that Luo Mengxuan killed the wrong person.

Now that the Life and Death Reversal Curse on Cheng Xue has completely disappeared, it means that Luo Mengxuan and Ye Feng were not mistaken; the person who cast the curse on Cheng Xue was Cheng Feng.

It was precisely because Cheng Feng, the one who cast the curse, died that the Life and Death Reversal Curse on Cheng Xue disappeared.

"Xiaoxue, what happened? How did Brother Cheng die?" Luo Mengxuan asked, feigning surprise.

Cheng Xue cried and said, "I don't know either. This morning, as soon as I got up, I came to my older brother's place, but I knocked on the door for a long time and he didn't answer. When I pushed the door open, I saw... I saw him..."

Cheng Xue cried as she spoke, tears streaming down her face as if they were free.

Night Breeze chimed in, "Look, there are words on the floor."

Cheng Xue immediately looked down at the floor and saw the three large, elegant characters "Yan Yu Lou" on it.

"So it was the assassins from the Misty Rain Pavilion who killed my elder brother..."

Cheng Xue cried as she spoke, and perhaps because she was too heartbroken, she closed her eyes and fainted.

Luo Mengxuan quickly hugged Cheng Xue and pulled her into her arms.

Cheng Xue finally woke up from her coma in the afternoon.

Luo Mengxuan couldn't bear it, so she stayed at the Cheng Clan Chamber of Commerce branch to take care of Cheng Xue, while Ye Feng returned to the Xuanji Sect.

Ye Feng had just returned to his residence when Zi Yue came to find him.

"Junior brother, I have already cultivated the Great Dream True Technique to the second level!" Ziyue said boastfully.

"Congratulations, Senior Sister," Ye Feng said with a smile.

"Junior brother, you seem unhappy? By the way, where did you go? I heard you left with Luo Mengxuan. Where did you go with her?" Ziyue asked curiously.

Ye Feng explained with a wry smile, "Gao Dongming, the head of the Gao family in Tianyuan City, is suffering from a strange illness. Senior Sister Luo has a past relationship with the head of the Gao family, so I went to Tianyuan City with Senior Sister Luo to treat him."

"You actually went out with Luo Mengxuan! Last time she almost killed you in the cave below Shuangyue Lake!" Ziyue exclaimed in surprise.

"Senior Sister, what happened between me and Senior Sister Luo is in the past. I have forgiven her, and we have reconciled. So let's not bring this up again," Ye Feng said earnestly.

Zi Yue stared at Ye Feng's face for a while, then suddenly said, "Hmph, I think you must be infatuated with Luo Mengxuan, which is why you're making up with her without holding a grudge."

Ye Feng shook his head helplessly and sighed, saying, "I can't possibly treat Senior Sister Luo like an enemy, can I? We are all disciples of the Xuanji Sect, and we should get along harmoniously."

"Alright, alright, let's stop talking about this."

Zi Yue waved her hand to interrupt Ye Feng, and then showed Ye Feng the second level of the Great Dream True Technique, experiencing the wonders of the Great Dream True Technique together.

Purple Moon finally departed as night fell.

No sooner had Ziyue left than Chang Qingyue arrived.

As soon as Chang Qingyue stepped into Ye Feng's room, she suddenly flashed a sharp look and began to scrutinize Ye Feng from head to toe.

"Junior brother, you... have reached the peak of the True Essence Realm?" Chang Qingyue asked.

"good."

Ye Feng smiled and nodded, saying, "Senior brother, how did you figure that out?"

"The true energy emanating from your body is powerful and profound, far beyond what a peak-stage Separation and Union Realm martial artist could achieve," Chang Qingyue said.

Ye Feng then realized that he and Zi Yue had just been comprehending the mysteries of the Great Dream True Technique together, so he did not conceal his aura.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Chang Qingyue saw through his strength.

"I really didn't expect that Junior Brother Ye's strength would improve so quickly," Chang Qingyue said.

"Senior brother, your strength has improved very quickly. You're no longer at the first level of the Divine Travel Realm, are you?" Ye Feng asked.

"I have indeed made another breakthrough," Chang Qingyue said with a smile.

Then Chang Qingyue came over and asked, "Junior brother, you were at the peak of the Separation and Union Realm not long ago. After going out with Luo Mengxuan, you suddenly reached the peak of the True Essence Realm, crossing an entire major realm. How did you do that?"

“Senior brother, everyone has their own secrets, and I’m no exception. Please don’t ask any further.” Ye Feng said earnestly.

“Alright, then I won’t ask,” Chang Qingyue nodded.

With a smile, Chang Qingyue patted Ye Feng on the shoulder and said, "Junior brother, let's go to Tianxiang Restaurant for a drink."

Night Breeze was still thinking about the swan spirit root, but looking at the night outside, he figured the Treasure Hall was probably already closed.

Even if we go now, we won't be able to exchange for the Honghu Spiritual Root from the Treasure Hall. Since that's the case, let's talk about it tomorrow.

Ye Feng nodded and said, "Alright, since you've extended such a generous invitation, I, your junior brother, will naturally accompany you, even at the cost of my life."

"It's just drinking, why are you talking about risking your life?" Chang Qingyue laughed and flew into the air with Ye Feng, heading towards the mountain gate.

After leaving the Xuanji Sect, Ye Feng and Chang Qingyue arrived at Tianxiang Tower in Taixuan City.

Liu Yanhong, the manager of Tianxianglou, learned that Chang Qingyue and Ye Feng had come together, so she immediately came downstairs to greet them.

"Young Master Chang, Young Master Ye, please follow me. The Tianxiang Private Room is currently available," Liu Yanhong said with a smile.

"Why is the Tianxiang Private Room always empty every time I come? Mr. Liu, you wouldn't be saving that private room specifically for my senior brother, would you?" Ye Feng laughed.

"Young Master Ye is joking. I just happened to have some free time," Liu Yanhong said.

Ye Feng, Chang Qingyue, and Liu Yanhong went upstairs together and entered the Tianxiang Private Room.

After sitting down at the table, Chang Qingyue pushed the menu in front of Ye Feng, indicating that Ye Feng should order.

Ye Feng didn't stand on ceremony and ordered a large table of food. Liu Yanhong, the female manager, served Ye Feng and Chang Qingyue like a maid, holding a wine pot.

Chang Qingyue picked up her wine and drank it all in one gulp, then asked, "Junior brother, I heard you and Luo Mengxuan went to the Gao family in Tianyuan City?"

“That’s right.” Night Breeze nodded.

"You cured the strange illness of the Gao family patriarch? Was he really just sick?" Chang Qingyue asked.

"Senior brother, are you interested in this?" Ye Feng asked in return.

"I was just curious," Chang Qingyue said.

"Actually, the Gao family head wasn't sick; he was poisoned by a curse, and the person who cast the curse was his grandson, Gao Mingyang. But Gao Mingyang wasn't the real mastermind; he was just being coerced," Ye Feng said.

Chang Qingyue looked thoughtful and asked, "Who is coercing you?"

“Gao Dongguang, the younger brother of the Gao family head,” Ye Feng said.

"How did you find out?" Chang Qingyue asked again.

Ye Feng continued, "After I helped the Gao family head get rid of the Gu worms in his body, I left the Gao family with Senior Sister Luo to return to our sect. However, on the way, we were chased by an assassin from the Misty Rain Pavilion."
