Although he said that, Luo Tianyang had already picked up his drink, so Ye Feng also picked up his drink and drank it all in one gulp.

"Don't just drink, eat more food. Young Master Ye, this dinner wasn't prepared by our family's chef, but by me personally. Please have a taste," Liu Rushi said with a smile.

Ye Feng then tasted a few bites and nodded, saying, "Madam Liu's culinary skills are extraordinary, comparable to the head chef of Tianxiang Restaurant in Taixuan City."

Luo Mengxuan immediately explained, "Tianxianglou is the most famous restaurant in our Taixuan City, and the food there is excellent."

After hearing Luo Mengxuan's explanation, Liu Rushi knew that Ye Feng had given her a very high evaluation, so she showed a very satisfied smile.

Ye Feng, Luo Mengxuan, Luo Tianyang, and Liu Rushi toasted each other, and the atmosphere at the table was quite harmonious.

Unexpectedly, the Luo family steward rushed in when they had only eaten half of the meal.

"What happened again?" Luo Mengxuan asked irritably.

The Luo family steward looked embarrassed.

He's brought nothing but bad news these past two days, and he himself feels quite helpless.

“Miss, someone from the Liang family just came by and asked me to deliver this letter to Young Master Ye,” said the Luo family steward, taking out a letter from his pocket.

Ye Feng took the letter and saw two large, flamboyant characters on the envelope: "Declaration of War!"

Below is a line of smaller print: Dedicated by Ye Feng!

"Junior brother, Liang Yingfeng has issued a challenge to you? That guy is really persistent!" Luo Mengxuan said angrily.

Luo Tianyang also frowned deeply, his expression showing great displeasure.

"The Liang family is really going too far! It seems they really don't take me, Luo Tianyang, seriously!" Luo Tianyang slammed his hand on the table and said angrily.

Ye Feng opened the envelope, took out the letter, glanced at it, and said, "Liang Yingfeng challenged me to a duel tomorrow at Qingshui Lake in the west of Tianliang City... Is Qingshui Lake far from here?"

"It's not far, only twenty or thirty miles away," Luo Mengxuan said.

Ye Feng laughed and said, "Then let's go and meet him."

Luo Mengxuan said with some worry, "Junior brother, are you really going to fight Liang Yingfeng? Aren't you afraid of Liang Yingfeng...?"

Before Luo Mengxuan could finish speaking, Ye Feng said, "In my judgment, since Liang Yingfeng has issued me a challenge, he must be prepared to force me to accept the challenge."

Sure enough, no sooner had Ye Feng finished speaking than the Luo family steward said, "Actually, the news of Young Master Liang challenging Young Master Ye has already spread far and wide. It's estimated that most of Tianliang City knows about it."

"Take a look," Ye Feng said with a smile.

Luo Mengxuan, Luo Tianyang, and Liu Rushi all understood what this meant.

The challenge had only just been delivered to Ye Feng, but news of Liang Yingfeng's challenge to Ye Feng had already spread to most of Tianliang City.

This shows that Liang Yingfeng did it intentionally.

Liang Yingfeng was forcing Ye Feng to accept the challenge in this way. If Ye Feng did not accept the challenge tomorrow, he would be branded as a coward.

Even the Luo family will be affected.

"I only just realized how despicable Liang Yingfeng is! I used to think he was a gentleman!" Luo Mengxuan said with a face full of resentment.

Luo Tianyang sighed and said, "Liang Yingfeng is indeed not a person worthy of high society."

Luo Mengxuan turned to Ye Feng and said, "Junior Brother Ye, are you confident in defeating Liang Yingfeng? Liang Yingfeng is also a peak True Yuan Realm martial artist, and he is also a true disciple of the Hunyuan Sect, so his skills must be extraordinary. Even if I were to face him, I wouldn't dare say I could definitely win."

Although Luo Mengxuan was at the first level of the Divine Travel Realm, she was a realm higher than Liang Yingfeng.

However, these true disciples, who have received the true teachings of the elders who have entered the Saint Realm, all have their own trump cards, so she might be defeated by Liang Yingfeng if she is not careful.

This is why Luo Mengxuan said she dared not claim she could definitely defeat Liang Yingfeng.

But Ye Feng remained unfazed and calmly said, "Tomorrow, he will surely lose."

In the past, Luo Mengxuan would have thought Ye Feng was exaggerating.

But now, Luo Mengxuan no longer thinks that way.

Since Ye Feng said he could beat Liang Yingfeng, then he definitely could; there's no other way!

“Okay, I’ll go with you tomorrow!” Luo Mengxuan said.

“Let’s go too. We can’t be absent from such an important event,” Luo Tianyang said, glancing at Liu Rushi.

The next morning.

The banks of Qingshui Lake in Tianliang City were packed with people.

They were all citizens of Tianliang City, roughly numbering around thirty to forty thousand.

So this place has become incredibly crowded.

There were even vendors selling breakfast here.

The Liang family has arrived.

Leading the group was Liang Wantong, the head of the Liang family and a martial arts master at the first level of the Transcendent Realm.

Many other members of the Liang family also came.

The onlookers kept their distance from the Liang family members, as they were clearly not to be trifled with.

"The Liang family has arrived, but why hasn't the Luo family come yet?"

"Yeah, could it be that Ye Feng is scared?"

"He's an inner disciple of the Xuanji Sect, after all. He shouldn't be afraid, right?"

"That's what I think too."

"Perhaps it's just a delay..."

The onlookers all started discussing it, saying all sorts of things.

On the lake, a young man stood calmly with his hands behind his back.

Who else could this person be but Liang Yingfeng, the eldest son of the Liang family?

Suddenly, someone shouted, "The Luo family is here!"

So all the people on the scene turned their heads to look in a certain direction, and saw figures flying in from the horizon.

Leading the group was Luo Tianyang, the head of the Luo family, with Liu Rushi and Luo Mengxuan positioned behind him.

The night breeze was certainly among them!

Many members of the Luo family's collateral branches also came, after all, what seemed to be a battle between Ye Feng and Liang Yingfeng was actually a battle between the Luo family and the Liang family.

If Ye Feng loses this battle, the Luo family will naturally be inferior to the Liang family in the future!

Luo Tianyang, Liu Rushi, and the others landed on the shore of Qingshui Lake, while Ye Feng landed directly on the lake surface, about ten steps away from Liang Yingfeng.

This distance is just right.

Liang Yingfeng opened his eyes and looked at Ye Feng, his eyes seeming to gleam with a sharp light.

"You've arrived?"

"Enough talk, let's fight," Ye Feng said calmly.

Liang Yingfeng had originally intended to sigh and put on an air of expertise, but Ye Feng's lack of tact ruined the atmosphere, which greatly annoyed him.

"Since you're so eager to die by my hand, fine, I'll grant your wish!"

Liang Yingfeng waved his hands, and a gleaming silver arm armor appeared in each of his hands.

With a flick of his right hand, Ye Feng conjured the Zhou Xing Sword in his grasp.

This fierce battle is about to break out; it all depends on who strikes first.

"Junior Brother Ye, keep it up!" Luo Mengxuan shouted.

Luo Mengxuan cheered for the night breeze, causing Liang Yingfeng to catch his breath.
