"Qin Feng, you will regret what you did today."

Ouyang Lun suppressed his anger, gave Qin Feng a cold look, and then turned and left.

The two young men immediately turned around and followed Ouyang Lun, but the cold beauty did not follow immediately.

"Qin Feng, no matter how strong you are individually, you can't possibly contend with Long Yuan and the Martial Alliance!"

"I advise you to either join Longyuan or keep a low profile from now on."

"Otherwise, even if Old Yang wanted to protect you, he might not be able to."

Qin Feng looked at the aloof beauty with some surprise. "I'll consider your suggestion, thank you!"

This woman looked cold, but her attitude was much better than Ouyang Lun's.

If Ouyang Lun had the same attitude as the cold beauty, he wouldn't have made a move just now.

"My name is Yu Ning. Call me when you've decided whether you want to join Longyuan."

Yu Ning gave Qin Feng her contact information and then turned and left.

Although Qin Feng had no intention of joining Longyuan, he still noted down Yu Ning's contact information.

Better safe than sorry; who knows, he might need Long Yuan's help someday.

After all, he didn't want to hide in the deep mountains and forests to cultivate in seclusion unless absolutely necessary.

Cultivating immortality is not just about seclusion; one must also undergo trials in the mortal world.

When Qin Feng returned to the back garden, he saw Zhang Xianzong walking out of the back door.

Zhang Xianzong had witnessed everything that had just happened, but he hadn't shown up.

"Master, I think you should join Longyuan!"

Zhang Xianzong said, "With your strength, you'll be given an important position sooner or later if you join Longyuan."

"In that case, you won't have to worry too much about what you do in the future."

"As long as you don't do anything detrimental to the Dragon Kingdom, Longyuan's privileges will make things very convenient for you in many ways."

"Although there will be some restrictions, the benefits will outweigh the drawbacks."

Qin Feng glanced at Zhang Xianzong. "Are you acting as a lobbyist for Long Yuan?"

"You wouldn't happen to be an unofficial member of Longyuan, would you?"

"How could that be?" Zhang Xianzong said with a sneer and an arrogant expression.

"I am the 56th Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain, how could a mere Longyuan contain such a great deity as myself?"

Qin Feng's face darkened, and he kicked Zhang Xianzong away.

What is that?

He has absolutely no skills, yet he constantly flaunts his identity as the 56th Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain; he's incredibly arrogant.

Zhang Xianzong flew directly out of the back garden before crashing to the ground, but he was not injured, only suffering some minor pain.

He quickly jumped up and hopped back into the back garden, looking dejected.

"Master, I was wrong!"

"I will definitely be more low-key in front of you from now on and I won't brag anymore."

Qin Feng glanced at Zhang Xianzong and asked, "Any news about the matter I asked you to investigate?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xianzong immediately became serious and said, "According to the investigation results, Lu Yutong has absolutely no relation to Lu Zheng'ang."

“Lu Zhengang has no daughter, only a son, Lu Zhengang, who has already been killed by you.”

"As for the Fragranceless Fruit, we have found a clue."

"Someone once bought a fragranceless fruit in a small village in Xuancheng, but that person had already turned the fragranceless fruit into poison."

Qin Feng looked bewildered. "Are you sure it's Xuancheng?"

His hometown is a small village in Xuancheng Township. He lived there for more than ten years, but he had never seen the Fragranceless Fruit.

Zhang Xianzong nodded. "This news is absolutely not false!"

Qin Feng pondered for a moment, then asked, "Which village?"

Zhang Xianzong replied, "It seems to be Yunwu Village!"

"Well"

Qin Feng was stunned. Wasn't Cloud Mist Village the place where his home was located?

Yunwu Village gets its name from the fact that it is shrouded in mountain mist for nearly 300 days a year.

Seeing Qin Feng's unusual reaction, Zhang Xianzong asked with a puzzled look, "What's wrong with you?"

Qin Feng answered truthfully. "I grew up in Cloud Mist Village, but I have never seen a Fragrance-Free Fruit before."

Zhang Xianzong was taken aback for a moment, then said, "What a coincidence!"

"It's normal that you haven't seen it. Although the 'Fragrance Fruit' contains a highly poisonous substance, it is very rare because of its very special growing environment."

"They generally only grow in deep forests and near swamps, and the chances of them bearing fruit are very small."

“Some people might not recognize the scentless fruit tree even if they see it.”

Qin Feng nodded; he agreed with Zhang Xianzong's statement.

"Do you know from whom that person bought the fragranceless fruit?"

Zhang Xianzong shook his head. "I don't know!"

"But since you're from Cloud Mist Village, you can probably find out by asking when you get back."

Qin Feng nodded. "That's true!"

"Oh, right, there's one more thing."

Zhang Xianzong frowned slightly. "The investigation results are the same as you know: there is a suspected giant ancient tomb underground in the old city."

"But whether it really exists, and what's inside, is something that Mu Zhengfeng of the Mu family in Lingnan might know."

"According to the investigation results, the deaths of so many people in that abandoned villa area back then were not entirely due to the Yin Sha Formation, but rather because Mu Zhengfeng wanted to silence them."

"But in the end, one person managed to escape. Although Mu Zhengfeng eventually found and killed that person, the news of the ancient tomb still leaked out."

"It was precisely because the news leaked that Mu Zhengfeng's family was expelled from the clan."

"But I suspect this is just a show put on by the Mu family of Lingnan and Mu Zhengfeng, with the aim of making those forces that have learned of the news focus on Mu Zhengfeng and ignore the Mu family."

"I have already had people secretly investigate the Mu family. If my guess is correct, they will probably take action soon."

Qin Feng glanced at Zhang Xianzong. Although this guy seemed carefree and loved to boast, he was actually quite reliable when it came to getting things done.

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "I need to stay in Binhai for a while to avoid trouble. Xinyan's safety is in your hands!"

"If Xinyan is alright when I return, I will make an exception and accept you as my apprentice!"

Zhang Xianzong was stunned for a moment, then asked with a look of surprise, "Really?"

"I wouldn't stoop so low as to lie to you!" Qin Feng smiled. "Before I leave, I'll make some attack and defense talismans for you, so please don't disappoint me!"

Zhang Xianzong immediately straightened his back and made a solemn vow.

"Master, rest assured, even if I die, I will never let anyone harm a single hair on Xinyan's head."

Qin Feng didn't say anything more and went straight into the villa.

He planned to make dozens of attack and defense talismans and give them to Zhang Xianzong before leaving Binhai. He also wanted to try to refine some array flags and array plates.

If he could refine it, he would set up an array to protect Villa No. 1.

In that case, unless the Heavenly Realm intervenes, Jiang Xinyan will be absolutely safe.
