Jiang Feng followed closely behind Xiao Qingfang. Just as he was about to step off the stage, he suddenly felt a fiery gaze fixed on him. He subconsciously turned his head and saw a graceful and beautiful woman standing not far away. Her large, captivating eyes were fixed on him, as if she could see through him.
Jiang Feng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and asked softly: "Why are you here?"
The woman was Bai Xue. She walked lightly and quickly to Jiang Feng. She bowed respectfully to Xiao Qingfang and then said softly, "Junior Bai Xue, I pay my respects to Sect Master Xiao! Why can't I come?" She looked at Jiang Feng and said,
Xiao Qingfang looked Bai Xue up and down. When she saw Bai Xue's eyes full of concern and admiration when she looked at Jiang Feng, she couldn't help but wonder: Could this little girl have fallen for our young master? Well, it's true. Our young master is so outstanding, what girl wouldn't be tempted? But Bai Xue's engagement is well known to everyone!
Thinking of this, Xiao Qingfang smiled slightly and said slowly, "Bai Xue is getting prettier and prettier. It's a pity... compared to Zhang Jie, those seniors in your sect are so blind!"
Bai Xue's pretty face flushed slightly upon hearing this, but soon returned to normal. She quickly walked over to Jiang Feng and asked with concern, "Your performance in the ring just now was simply amazing! I just wonder if you were injured?" As she spoke, she reached out her hand to check if Jiang Feng was injured.
At this moment, Zhang Jie, who had already turned and was about to leave, stopped dead in his tracks upon hearing Xiao Qingfang's words. His face instantly darkened, as black as the bottom of a pot. The Dan Pavilion elders who had come with him also looked extremely grim, their heads lowered, not daring to speak. Zhang Jie, in particular, secretly vowed to teach Jiang Feng a lesson at the upcoming sect competition, even going so far as to kill him in retribution for today's humiliation.
However, Jiang Feng seemed not to hear anything at this time. He just glanced at Zhang Jie and others lightly, and then said to Bai Xue: "There are too many people here and it's not a place for chatting. Let's go back to the inn first." After that, he reached out to support Zhang Daoxuan, who was a little weak beside him, and walked out of the field without looking back.
Bai Xue did not follow Jiang Feng. She simply tossed a storage bag to Jiang Feng and was quickly taken away by the sect elders. Inside the storage bag were pills that had been obtained from who knows where!
At this moment, the atmosphere in the courtyard of the inn seemed a little solemn, and several people were sitting face to face.
The first to break the silence was Xiao Qingfang. She frowned slightly and said with a worried look on her face, "Young Master, you were too impulsive and reckless in today's battle. I could already sense Shen Wantian's murderous intent towards you. Although you ultimately won, the extremely precious immortal weapon was also exposed. We must be doubly careful in the next duel! Especially Zhang Jie from the Tianxing Sect, whose strength is unfathomable and his background is profound. If we are unlucky enough to encounter him, I'm afraid it will be quite difficult."
Jiang Feng listened to Xiao Qingfang's words and nodded slowly in agreement. He then turned to look at Zhang Daoxuan, who had remained silent, his eyes revealing a hint of dissatisfaction and anger. He asked, "You clearly knew you were no match for him today, so why didn't you admit defeat? Don't you realize how dangerous this is?"
Facing Jiang Feng's questioning, Zhang Daoxuan looked ashamed and lowered his head to explain sheepishly: "I'm sorry, uncle-master... It's my fault. I was indeed a little too arrogant at the time. I thought that maybe I could use my own strength to explore Zhang Jie's background and trump cards..."
Hearing this, Jiang Feng couldn't help but sigh deeply and said earnestly, "I understand your desire to obtain more intelligence about our opponents for the sect. However, you must understand that each of you represents the future hope of our Qingyun Sect and is the lifeblood of the sect. No matter when or where, saving your life is the most crucial thing!"
After saying this, Jiang Feng once again cast his gaze on Zhuang Muhan who was sitting quietly beside him, and his tone softened a little: "As for tomorrow's battle, Muhan, you just need to go all out, and don't act rashly like you did today."
"Also, give me your weapons. I can help you upgrade them." Jiang Feng said calmly. His eyes fell on the two people in front of him, with a hint of confidence and expectation in his eyes.
Hearing this, the two of them couldn't help but stare at the mysterious Junior Master in disbelief. They exchanged glances, nodded in unison, and then carefully handed over their weapons.
Jiang Feng took the weapon and without even glancing at the two men, he turned and walked straight into the house, leaving the two men standing there, watching his departing figure, their hearts filled with curiosity and confusion.
Time ticked by, and in the blink of an eye, the next morning had arrived. Sunlight streamed through the windows onto the ground, casting patches of light and shadow. Meanwhile, the three men were anxiously waiting for Jiang Feng outside. They paced back and forth, occasionally craning their necks to peer inside, eagerly hoping that Jiang Feng would come out as soon as possible.
Finally, just as they were getting impatient, the door slowly opened. Jiang Feng walked out, his face weary, rubbing his temples as he muttered to himself, "Luckily, I bought enough materials earlier, otherwise I'd be so embarrassed this time..." As he spoke, he casually tossed two modified weapons into the hands of the two men.
The two of them quickly reached out to catch them, and when they took a closer look, they were stunned by the scene before them - the two weapons that were originally only of the top-grade treasure level had now been upgraded to the level of the best-grade treasure!
Zhuang Muhan, in particular, felt a bone-chilling chill emanating from the hilt as he grasped the Ice Blade. He was pleasantly surprised to discover that the Ice Blade had not only become more exquisite and gorgeous, but also many times more powerful than before. With such a powerful weapon in hand, he couldn't help but feel more confident in winning the upcoming battle.
So the four of them set off towards the square!
