Xiao Feng almost burst out laughing after hearing this, thinking to himself, "Important my foot! It's just menial work!" But on the surface, he pretended to be very interested and asked, "Oh? So what exactly will we be doing?"
Wang Wu patted Xiao Feng on the shoulder, a smug look on his face, and said, "Come on, I'll take you on patrol. That lazybones Chen Qi is off slacking off, let's team up."
The two strolled slowly along the edge of the camp. Xiao Feng felt the time was right, so he asked casually, "By the way, Brother Wang, do you know anything about Ouyang Mingyue?"
Wang Wu was taken aback, then lowered his voice and said, "You know about her too? I heard she's unconscious right now, supposedly poisoned by some kind of evil poison."
Xiao Feng frowned, feigning concern, and said, "Could it be the residual effect of that drug? I hope it can save her."
Wang Wu's eyes lit up, and he stared greedily at Xiao Feng, asking, "Brother, you don't happen to have some kind of peerless elixir, do you? If it could save Ouyang Mingyue, that would be a great achievement!"
Xiao Feng smiled mysteriously and said, "I do have a few good pills, but..."
Wang Wu immediately understood and rubbed his hands together, saying, "Brother, if there's really something good, let's get rich together! How about this, if you get any benefits, share some with me? I'll take you to the Three Immortals Island camp."
Xiao Feng pretended to consider it for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "Okay, it's settled then."
After they finished speaking, the two headed towards the Three Immortals Island camp.
Xiao Feng and Wang Wu arrived at the Three Immortals Island camp and heard a commotion from afar.
The two exchanged a glance and quickened their pace to walk over.
A group of disciples from the Three Immortal Islands were gathered in a circle, with a table in the middle.
Song Sinian sat in the main seat, holding dice in his hand, looking excited.
"Come on, let's play another round!" Song Sinian shouted loudly, "This time I'm betting big, who dares to call?"
The disciples exchanged bewildered glances, and one whispered, "Master, we've lost all our spoils..."
Song Sinian waved his hand impatiently: "What are you afraid of? I'll cover the losses! Hurry up and place your bets!"
Just then, a gatekeeper disciple rushed over, bowed to Song Sinian, and said, "Master, people from the Black Dragon Hall have come to see you, saying they want to offer you elixirs."
Song Sinian frowned: "What kind of pill?"
The gatekeeper arrogantly said, "They say they can revive Ouyang Mingyue."
Song Sinian scoffed, "That woman is clearly faking it. What need does she have for any elixir? I won't see her!"
The gatekeeper bowed and scraped, "Yes, sir, I'll go and refuse them right away."
Wang Wu, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore and said angrily, "You Three Immortals Island are too arrogant! People came to rescue us out of kindness, and you're putting on airs? We don't need you to beg us!"
Seeing this, Xiao Feng quickly pulled Wang Wu back and whispered, "Don't be impulsive."
Seeing that the situation was turning sour, Xiao Feng quickly stepped forward to smooth things over: "Everyone, please calm down. Why are you so tense?"
He turned to Song Sinian and said with a smile, "Master, why don't we go and check on Miss Ouyang's condition first? If there is a real need, then we can consider the Black Dragon Hall's pills."
Song Sinian squinted at Xiao Feng, seemingly considering the suggestion.
Just then, a disciple from the Three Immortal Islands suddenly sneered: "Heh, how dare a mere outsider point fingers here?"
Before he could finish speaking, the disciple had already struck Wang Wu in the chest with a palm.
Caught off guard, Wang Wu was struck by the palm and was forced to retreat repeatedly, nearly falling over.
"Kneel down and apologize!" the disciple shouted sternly.
Wang Wu's face turned deathly pale, and his legs trembled uncontrollably.
He knew he was no match for them, so he could only grit his teeth and swallow his anger.
"I...I was wrong..." Wang Wu said in a low voice, his knees slowly bending.
At this critical moment, Xiao Feng spoke coldly: "Brother, aren't you being a bit too impolite?"
Enraged by this, the gatekeeper drew his sword to teach Xiao Feng a lesson.
To everyone's surprise, Xiao Feng flashed and was already in front of him.
With a flick of his finger, Xiao Feng broke the longsword in two.
With a crisp "crack," the broken sword fell to the ground, its sound particularly jarring in the silent camp.
The gatekeeper was dumbfounded, with only half a sword hilt left in his hand.
He trembled all over and stammered, "You...you..."
Xiao Feng said calmly, "Be more polite next time, or it won't just be the sword that breaks."
Wang Wu was dumbfounded, his heart filled with turmoil.
He never expected that Xiao Feng, who usually seemed gentle and unassuming, would have such terrifying strength!
The gatekeeper was terrified, retreating repeatedly while forcing a smile and saying, "It's...it was my fault for not recognizing your greatness, please forgive me, sir!"
Seeing this scene, Wang Wu couldn't help but feel a deep respect for Xiao Feng.
He exclaimed, "Brother Xiao, I never expected you to be so unassuming! Your strength is so great yet you remain so low-key; it's truly admirable."
Xiao Feng waved his hand and said modestly, "Brother Wang, you flatter me. This is not the place to talk. You should go back first. I still have some things to take care of."
Wang Wu understood, nodded, and prepared to leave.
Before leaving, he was still savoring the thrilling scene from just now, secretly glad that Xiao Feng was there, otherwise he probably wouldn't have been able to escape unscathed today.
After Wang Wu had gone far away, Xiao Feng took advantage of the fact that everyone was still in shock and quietly sneaked into the depths of the Three Immortals Island camp.
He arrived at Ouyang Mingyue's room with practiced ease and carefully pushed open the door.
Ouyang Mingyue was lying on the bed with her eyes closed and her breathing even, appearing to be unconscious.
But Xiao Feng keenly noticed that her eyelids trembled slightly, clearly indicating that she was pretending to be asleep.
Xiao Feng understood that Ouyang Mingyue probably couldn't get over losing her innocence, which was why she used this method to escape reality.
He tiptoed to the bedside and bent down to check on Ouyang Mingyue's condition.
Xiao Feng thought to himself, "This is a perfect opportunity to test the Star Absorbing Technique."
Xiao Feng took a deep breath, circulated his internal energy, and slowly raised his hands, palms facing Ouyang Mingyue's dantian.
In an instant, an invisible suction force surged from his palm, drawing the spiritual power within Ouyang Mingyue's body like a vortex.
Strands of azure spiritual energy emanated from Ouyang Mingyue's body, forming a thin stream of light in the air that headed straight for Xiao Feng's palm.
Xiao Feng felt the power within his body steadily increasing and was secretly delighted: "It really works!"
However, at that moment, Ouyang Mingyue suddenly opened her eyes, and shouted in shock and anger, "Xiao Feng! You despicable villain, you've tried to harm me again!"
Xiao Feng was taken aback, then stopped using the Star Absorbing Technique and put on an innocent look, saying, "I was just helping you clear your meridians, how can you be so ungrateful?"
Ouyang Mingyue trembled with rage, pointing at Xiao Feng and shouting, "Help me? You're clearly absorbing my spiritual energy! I finally recovered some, and you've drained it all away again!"
