With the departure of the Flame Sect members, the Azure Sect members finally relaxed completely.
Without Xiao Feng standing in their way, Huo Zongming might have crushed them under his feet this time, letting them know his power.
Lu Xue'er approached Xiao Feng, bowed her head, and said, "Thank you for what happened just now."
Xiao Feng and Lu Xue'er had a conflict some time ago, so their communication seemed very awkward.
He originally intended to use this incident to ease the tension between the two of them, but no one expected that Liu Chengfeng would walk up to Lu Xue'er and pull her aside.
"Isn't it his duty to help our Qing Sect? If the sect leader's personal disciple doesn't even do things to protect the sect, then he doesn't deserve to be called a personal disciple."
Hearing Liu Chengfeng's merciless words, those around him involuntarily walked up to him, their faces full of anger: "Do you know what you're saying?"
Knowing the strength of those around him, Liu Chengfeng didn't take him seriously and snorted coldly, "Do you think I'm wrong? What right does he have to sit on the sidelines and watch the show?"
Seeing that the two were about to fight, Xiao Feng quickly stepped in front of them, a smile on his face: "Let's go, we'll be at the sect soon."
In his eyes, if it weren't for the experience of going down the mountain, he and Liu Chengfeng would be completely unrelated.
Liu Chengfeng originally thought that Xiao Feng would retaliate against him, but to everyone's surprise, Xiao Feng pretended not to hear anything, which made him a little uncomfortable.
Now that Xiao Feng has not pursued his responsibility, he naturally has no reason to pursue Xiao Feng's responsibility, so he can only follow behind.
Lu Xue'er glanced at Liu Chengfeng meaningfully, as if she understood why he had come out to criticize Xiao Feng. She sighed helplessly and said nothing.
Before long, they arrived at a village near Qingzong.
Several disciples came out from behind Lu Xue'er, glanced at them, and said with a serious expression, "Could you please let us go inside and ask for a bowl of water?"
The other disciples nodded in agreement: "Yes, we've walked for so long, could we be allowed to go inside and have some water and rest for a while?"
When Liu Chengfeng heard that Lu Xueer's side had made such a request, he looked up at the sky and involuntarily agreed.
Seeing that they intended to stay in the village, someone quickened their pace and came to Xiao Feng's side: "Should we go into the village and take a look?"
Having followed Xiao Feng to so many places, they had long since come to regard him as one of their own, so they only listened to Xiao Feng.
Seeing that they were all willing to listen to him, Xiao Feng pondered for a while and said, "Since they've all come here to rest, I certainly can't be a ruthless miser. Let's all go into the village."
This time, their team followed behind.
With Lu Xueer and Liu Chengfeng's team leading the way, they believed that as long as they followed behind, they could reap the benefits.
After walking around the village for only a short while, Shen Qingchen approached Xiao Feng with a puzzled look on her face: "Why do the people in this village look so busy?"
In their eyes, the villagers shouldn't have anything to do, so why are they busy here?
Upon hearing Shen Qingchen's reminder, Xiao Feng subconsciously glanced at the villagers around him, his brows furrowing slightly. He casually stopped one of the villagers.
Where are you headed? Can we get a drink of water here?
The villagers, seeing Xiao Feng dressed in Qingzong robes, pointed towards the well and said, "Please fetch the water yourselves. We have something to do and need to leave for a while."
The other villagers nodded in agreement: "Yes, we have other things to do, so we won't stay here with you."
Xiao Feng looked at the axes in their hands with a surprised expression: "Could you tell us? We're a little curious about your affairs."
At this moment, Lu Xue'er and Liu Chengfeng had already led their team to the innermost part of the area, completely disregarding Xiao Feng.
Clearly, they hadn't noticed anything strange about the village.
The villagers knew they were from the Qingzong sect, and smiled as they said, "It's alright to tell you. We plan to cut down some trees to make money."
Other villagers chimed in, "Yes, with money we can offer sacrifices to the immortals, and then our wishes will come true."
Xiao Feng, hearing their plan to exchange trees for money, looked utterly astonished: "What immortal wants your money? Are you mistaken?"
Just then, Liu Chengfeng walked over from a distance, his face full of displeasure: "What are you doing? We're fetching water over there, and you're slacking off here."
Xiao Feng glanced at Liu Chengfeng with an indifferent expression, then turned his gaze back to the villagers, wanting them to describe the appearance of the immortal.
They all came from the Qingzong sect and simply didn't believe that there were such immortals outside.
Suddenly, Liu Chengfeng's voice came from the side: "You don't need to say anything more. The immortal you just mentioned is very likely a fraud. Where is he?"
When the villagers heard Liu Chengfeng say that the man was a fraud, they exchanged glances, unwilling to believe that he was a fraud.
Liu Chengfeng noticed the villagers' hesitation and took a deep breath: "Take me there and I'll help you expose him for what he really is, so you'll know what kind of person he is."
The villagers were initially reluctant to agree, but considering that the money they had worked so hard for might be swindled away, they reluctantly agreed.
One of the villagers pointed in the direction they had come from and said, "Could you please come with us? It might be a bit of a walk."
Xiao Feng nodded nonchalantly: "You all go ahead, we can follow you safely."
Nowadays, the villagers are all ordinary people.
If he can't even keep up with the villagers, then he can't be called a monk.
Before long, the villagers led them out of the village and into a mountain forest.
Those around him, their faces full of confusion, approached Xiao Feng: "Who would lie to people at the foot of our Qing Sect's mountain? Isn't that going too far?"
Xiao Feng glanced at the expressions around him and chuckled, "The Qing Sect never arranges for its disciples to go down the mountain, unless it's for our training trip this time."
With no Qingzong disciples at the foot of the mountain, it would be perfectly natural for them to deceive people here.
Just as the two were chatting, the villager seemed to remember something and walked up to them: "By the way, they said... that person might be from the Qing Sect."
Upon hearing this, everyone present shook their heads.
This time, the groups descending the mountain were all led by the elders' personal disciples; there was no reason for them to leave one or two people behind to deceive the villagers.
However, nothing is absolute, and Xiao Feng couldn't make a definitive statement. He gestured with his chin towards the front and said, "Take us to see that immortal as soon as possible."
