Jun Zhantian wore a half-smile on his face, looking Qin Feng up and down with great interest. His gaze was like two blazing flames, as if he wanted to see right through Qin Feng from head to toe.
However, facing this prolonged gaze, Qin Feng felt an indescribable pressure surge into his heart, and his scalp tingled in waves.
Although he knew in his heart that this senior meant him no harm, the feeling of being stared at like that was still very strange, making him involuntarily get goosebumps all over his body and unable to feel at ease.
As time ticked by, Qin Feng's initially calm demeanor gradually lost its patience.
Seeing that Jun Zhantian remained silent and seemed to have no intention of speaking, Qin Feng finally couldn't suppress his curiosity and doubts. He took a deep breath and broke the suffocating silence first.
"Senior, is there something important you need me to do? If so, please feel free to ask."
After saying this, Qin Feng stared intently at Jun Zhantian, hoping for a prompt response.
Upon hearing Qin Feng's question, Jun Zhantian first let out a low, short chuckle before slowly saying, "Haha, it's not about giving an explanation. I just want to ask you for a small favor, young friend."
His tone sounded relaxed and casual, as if the matter were truly insignificant.
However, upon hearing this, Qin Feng frowned slightly, thinking to himself, "Hmph, what a joke! With your formidable strength at the half-step Heavenly Dao Realm, what can't you handle on your own? Why would you need help from an unknown kid like me? There's probably more to this than meets the eye..."
However, on second thought, if I could take this opportunity to make Jun Zhantian owe me a favor, it wouldn't be a bad thing.
After all, the value of a favor from a top expert like Jun Zhantian is immeasurable.
Thinking of this, Qin Feng's concerns lessened a bit, and a faint smile reappeared on his face. He cupped his hands to Jun Zhantian and said, "Since Senior has said so, then this junior naturally dares not refuse."
"I wonder what kind of help you need, senior? As long as it's within my power, I will do my best!"
When Jun Zhantian saw Qin Feng agree, a look of relief immediately appeared on his face.
He slowly raised his right hand, pointed at the man in the green robe and the woman in the long dress, and said in a low voice, "Young friend, I would like to ask you for a favor. I hope you can take care of my two good-for-nothing disciples!"
At this point, Jun Zhantian couldn't help but sigh, and continued, "This temple is fraught with danger, and with their current strength, it's unlikely they can save their lives here!"
"Therefore, I earnestly request that you grant my request, young friend, for my sake."
"If you are willing to lend a helping hand, I will prepare a generous gift to express my gratitude once my two good-for-nothing disciples are able to leave this temple safely with you!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng blinked, a look of suspicion on his face, and asked in bewilderment, "Senior, didn't you leave a divine soul imprint to protect them?"
"Logically speaking, with your soul imprint protecting them, their safety shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Faced with Qin Feng's question, Jun Zhantian shook his head helplessly and explained, "Young friend, you don't know this. Although this soul imprint is powerful, it will dissipate on its own after a certain period of time once it is triggered."
"Without other safeguards, this soul imprint alone is ultimately insufficient to ensure their complete safety."
"That's precisely why I have to trouble you, young friend, to lend a helping hand!"
Qin Feng's gaze slowly swept over the man in the green robe and the woman in the long dress in front of him, and he pondered to himself.
To be honest, these two people were nothing short of a burden to him.
Bringing them along would undoubtedly greatly increase the risks and burdens of the operation.
However, that was a favor from a half-step Heavenly Dao Realm expert!
The value of a promise made by a powerful figure of this caliber is immeasurable.
Especially now, he and his backing sect are facing a powerful threat from the Spirit Race.
A favor from a half-step Heavenly Dao Realm expert might actually become a lifesaver in a life-or-death situation, playing an unexpected role.
Thinking of this, Qin Feng couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Time ticked by, and finally, Qin Feng made his decision. He took a deep breath, looked at Jun Zhantian with a solemn expression, and said in an extremely sincere and serious tone, "Senior, I can promise you that I will take them with me and protect them."
"However, before that, there are some things I feel it's necessary to explain to you."
"First of all, you owe me this favor, and I hope you will repay it as promised if a critical moment comes in the future."
"As you probably know, my sect and I have offended the Spirit Clan, and we are very likely to encounter difficulties in our fierce battles with them in the future."
"At that time, we may need your help."
A bitter smile appeared on Jun Zhantian's lips. He knew that Qin Feng's request would not be simple.
But he also knew that if he wanted his two disciples to leave the temple alive, how could he expect to do so without paying a price?
After careful consideration, Jun Zhantian nodded and said, "Alright! I agree! If you and the Reliance Sect are ever in trouble, I will definitely lend a helping hand!"
A bitter smile appeared on Jun Zhantian's lips. He knew that Qin Feng's request would not be simple.
But he also knew that if he wanted his two disciples to leave the temple alive, how could he expect to do so without paying a price?
After receiving Jun Zhantian's reply, Qin Feng turned to the man in the green robe and the woman in the long dress, and said in a deep voice, "Listen up, you two, you must listen to me in everything in this temple."
The two quickly nodded respectfully.
Seeing that the two were quite agreeable, Qin Feng said no more and turned his gaze to Jun Zhantian. "Senior, I need to go into seclusion here for a day or two. If you have time, I'll have to trouble you to protect me!"
Jun Zhantian's eyes flickered as he looked at the cave behind Qin Feng. With his strength, he naturally sensed that there were treasures containing pure divine energy inside the cave.
However, this was an opportunity that belonged to Qin Feng, and he shouldn't covet it.
“Yes, it just so happens that this soul imprint will not dissipate for another day or two!” Jun Zhantian nodded in agreement.
Qin Feng said nothing more. He immediately took out several array flags and array plates from his storage ring and set up a small defensive array to protect the entrance of the cave.
After all, even if Jun Zhantian doesn't seem like a bad person, one should always be wary of others!
