Yin Mingshan stared blankly at the confident Qin Feng.

"Xiao Feng, you've really changed. I remember when you were in the sect, you were always so timid and hesitant. Now even your demeanor has changed. You're a completely different person. It's true what they say, 'A scholar should be looked at with new eyes after three days' absence.'"

"Pshaw, that's nothing. You'd be truly amazed if you saw how he kills enemies. Junior Brother is awesome now; he can wipe out enemies with a flick of his finger."

Yin Tiantian said nonchalantly, then seemed to remember something else.

"Dad, you've been so busy looking at Junior Brother that you haven't paid any attention to me. Look at me, have you noticed any changes?"

Yin Tiantian blinked her big eyes and looked at her father expectantly.

Yin Mingshan's attention was immediately drawn to what she said.

When he took a look, he was shocked.

"You, how did you reach the Qi Refining Perfection stage so quickly? Weren't you only at the seventh level of Qi Refining? How did you improve so fast in such a short time?"

Then, as if remembering something, he scolded:

“Sweetie, cultivation is not something you can rush into and accomplish in one fell swoop. You have to be down-to-earth and take it one step at a time. Tell your father, did you use any crooked methods?”

Unexpectedly, Yin Tiantian ignored her father and instead said to Qin Feng, "Did you hear that? My father is right about what he said, but what you said is inappropriate, understand?"

Qin Feng curled his lip. Your father is lecturing you, and you turn around and lecture me. You're really something, Senior Sister Yin.

Seeing that she ignored him and was saying some nonsense, Yin Mingshan slapped her on the head in a fit of anger, and Yin Tiantian cried out in pain.

"I'm talking to you about serious business, so answer me quickly."

"Hey, Dad, don't worry. I'm following this freakish junior brother, so what's there to be afraid of going astray? Look at what level he's at. It only took him a few days to go from the first level of Qi Refining to the Golden Core stage. I'm still nowhere near there. Don't worry unnecessarily."

"Don't interrupt. They have their own secrets. Mind your own business. Do you think I don't know your background and qualifications?"

"Hey, I told you not to rush. It was my junior brother who helped me and gave me a magical pill. My physique has improved, so my cultivation is naturally faster. I'll be even more powerful in the future. Just wait and see how I shine in this sect competition."

Towards the end, she started to let loose again.

Qin Feng also helped explain: "Master, it's alright. I won't let Senior Sister do anything that would force her to grow too fast. I cleansed her marrow and strengthened her bones, and with some recent gains, it's normal that Senior Sister is progressing faster."

Yin Mingshan trusted Qin Feng quite a bit, unlike his daughter, who was sometimes unserious.

Then he became somewhat expectant, because he really hoped that Yin Tiantian would achieve good results in the competition.

Yin Mingshan had finished his business and was thinking of returning to his sect when a servant came to report.

"Young Master, someone claiming to be from the Overlord Blade Sect has come to visit."

Yin Mingshan, Yin Tiantian, and Leng Yuexi all stared at Qin Feng with their brows furrowed.

"Are you here to cause trouble?"

Qin Feng said calmly, "It's different. The last time someone came to cause trouble, they were already shouting before they even reached the door. This visit is different. It's really interesting."

Looking at Qin Feng, who remained calm and composed, Yin Mingshan sighed inwardly that he was indeed getting old. Many people couldn't learn this calm and collected demeanor in the face of adversity.

"Let them in and see what they want."

The group moved to the reception hall.

Upon seeing the three guests, all dressed in standard attire, the leader was an elderly man, likely an elder of the sect, while the other two were probably disciples.

Qin Feng bowed and went straight to the point:

"Qin Feng, have you met any of you? I've heard you've come from the Tyrant Blade Sect?"

"Hehe, young friend Qin is indeed a hero among young people. At such a young age, you are already a Golden Core cultivator."

Yin Tiantian and Leng Yuexi exchanged a glance, their eyes showing surprise. This really didn't seem like someone who had come to cause trouble.

The newcomer continued, "Indeed, we come from the Overlord Blade Sect. I am Xu Xianbo, the Second Elder of the Overlord Blade Sect."

Qin Feng raised an eyebrow. The Second Elder—that's quite a high position. Besides the Sect Master and the First Elder, he's the third highest-ranking member in the sect.

"Oh, I wonder what brings Elder Xu here to see me? Is there anything I can do to help?"

"Hehe, young friend, there's no need to be nervous. I know you've had conflicts with some people in our sect, but that doesn't represent the entire sect; it's just the opinion of a few individuals."

Yin Tiantian watched them, her eyes darting around, seemingly lost in thought.

Leng Yuexi was lost in thought.

Qin Feng calmly replied, "So Elder Xu came to see me this time?"

"I came to you today to find out what happened between you and Elder Peng Kun. Please tell me the truth."

Xu Xianbo emphasized the words "truthfully," it's unclear whether this was an implication or something else.

Qin Feng smiled and replied, "Alright, since Elder Xu is interested, then I'll tell you."

I have no grudge against Peng Kun; this is all because of the Wang family's affairs, and..."

Qin Feng recounted the events truthfully, without embellishing them.

He wanted to see what Elder Xu really meant.

Upon hearing this, Xu Xianbo slapped his thigh and angrily said:

"The Wang family members acted so arrogantly, they truly deserve to die. Young friend, you did nothing wrong; I would have done the same. As for Peng Kun, he came to help without clarifying the truth of the matter, truly disgracing my Tyrant Blade Sect and causing you trouble."

Upon hearing this, the hall fell silent.

Yin Tiantian's mouth was wide open, her eyes filled with disbelief.

What's going on? This isn't right.
