Chapter 5430: The Person Whom Taishi Xingzhong Kneels To
âDo as I say,â Chu Feng said.
âSicko!â Ling Hang looked at Chu Feng as if he was a fool before turning his attention toward Li Taâer. âMiss Taâer, weâll meet again.â
With that, Ling Hang left the area.
Chu Feng and Bai Yunqing didnât stop him. Of course, Li Taâer didnât try to stop him either.
âBig brother Chu Feng, thank you for your help. I know that you stopped me from making a move because youâre worried that Ling Hang will exact vengeance on me,â Bai Yunqing said.
âThereâs no need for such words between us. Iâm just worried that he will come after you despite that,â Chu Feng said.
It was then that Li Taâer walked over and said, âWe arenât afraid even if they come after us.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âBig sister Taâer.â Bai Yunqing was surprised. He thought that Li Taâer would scold Chu Feng for teaching Ling Hang a lesson, but her tone was somehow gentler than before.
âBai Yunqing, you head out first. I need to talk to Chu Feng,â Li Taâer said.
âBig sister Taâer, big brother Chu Feng taught Ling Hang a lesson for you.â Bai Yunqing was worried that Li Taâer would give Chu Feng a tongue-lashing.
âLing Hang deserved that,â Li Taâer replied.
âThenâ¦â Bai Yunqing had no idea what Li Taâer was up to.
âIs it too much to ask for some private time? Do you have feelings for him?â Li Taâer asked.
âOf course not!â Bai Yunqing quickly shook his head.
âYou should head out first,â Chu Feng said.
Bai Yunqing reluctantly left the room and closed the door behind him. He wasnât worried about Chu Feng, but he was still a bit hesitant to leave the two of them alone.
âMiss Taâer, is there something you need from me?â Chu Feng asked.
âThanks for just now,â Li Taâer said.
âYou donât need to thank me. I didnât intervene for your sake. I just didnât want to see my brother getting hurt,â Chu Feng replied.
However, Li Taâer wasnât offended by that response. âRegardless of your motive, itâs a fact that you helped me. Bai Yunqing wouldnât have been able to stop Ling Hang by himself. For that, Iâll turn a blind eye to you harming me.â
âMiss Ta'er, when did I harm you? Please donât make up false stories,â Chu Feng replied.
âHehâ¦â Li Taâer smirked. âYour illusory formation was formidable, but itâs useless against me.â
Chu Feng maintained a poker face, but he was surprised that she had seen through his illusory formation. That should have been impossible. He was confident that his means could deceive world spiritists even stronger than him.
âDidnât Bai Yunqing tell you about my unique constitution? Well, I guess he doesnât know how my constitution is unique either. My talent might be beneath you, but I am immune to most illusory formations. Even illusory formations from True Dragon World Spiritists canât beguile me, let alone yours,â Li Taâer said.
Chu Feng could tell that Li Taâer wasnât trying to sound him out. She had really seen through his illusory formation.
âHowever, you can be assured that I wonât tell this matter to anyone else. Iâll also treat Bai Yunqing better, but itâs on your account.â After saying her piece, Li Taâer made her way toward the door. Before stepping out, she flashed Chu Feng a smile.
Her smile was beautiful. It carried neither contempt nor the intent to fawn.
âHas that girl fallen for you?â Eggy asked with a chuckle.
âHow is that possible? I beat her up. Why would she fall in love with me for that? Besides, I intervened earlier to save Bai Yunqing, not her,â Chu Feng replied.
âYou donât get it. There are women who prefer stronger men. The friendlier you are to them, the more they look down on you. On the contrary, they respect you if you take on a forceful front. Li Taâer might be such a woman,â Eggy said.
âThat sounds like a pervert.â
Chu Feng was rendered speechless. He hoped that Li Taâer wasnât fond of him because he didnât have a good impression of her. Her willingness to let go of their previous grudges didnât raise his opinion of her, for he knew that she wasnât a good person, judging from how she had treated Bai Yunqing this far.
âBig brother Chu Feng, what did big sister Taâer say to you?â Bai Yunqing entered the room and asked.
âItâs nothing,â Chu Feng replied.
âThatâs good to hear. Big brother Chu Feng, I donât think that I can tag along with you anymore,â Bai Yunqing said.
âDid something happen?â Chu Feng asked.
âMy senior uncle sent me a voice transmission earlier to tell me that I shouldnât leave this manor for the time being because there are matters I need to attend to,â Bai Yunqing replied.
âI understand,â Chu Feng replied. He then switched to voice transmission and asked, âDo you think that your master and your senior uncle are good people?
âBig brother Chu Feng, why do you ask that?â Bai Yunqing was confused by that question, but he tactfully chose to answer via voice transmission too.
âIâll get to the point. The formation your senior uncle had us work on earlier contains a strong blood stench. I can sense the humans and monstrous beasts with special bloodlines in there. Many lives have been sacrificed to construct this formation,â Chu Feng said.
He wasnât so naive as to think that those who took the lives of others were evil, but at the same time, it was unlikely for those who had no qualms about taking so many lives to be kind souls.
âMy master treats me very well. I see him as a trustworthy person. I would have been dead if not for him,â Bai Yunqing said.
âYou have a surprisingly innocent side. Iâm not saying that you should turn your backs on your master and your senior uncle, but you shouldnât blindly trust them either. I know that you feel indebted to them, but you shouldnât allow those emotions to cloud your judgment. Look at their words and their actions and discern whether they truly mean well,â Chu Feng said.
âRest assured, big brother Chu Feng. I can at least tell as much. If even my master is exploiting me, I donât think that there will be anyone else in the world who is truly kind to me,â Bai Yunqing said with a smile.
âI trust your judgment, but keep your guard up. Your safety should come above all things else,â Chu Feng said.
âI understand,â Bai Yunqing replied with a smile.
Chu Feng bade Bai Yunqing farewell and made his way to where the World Spiritist Painter was holding his exhibition. He had to find out who was impersonating him and uncover his motives. Besides that, he thought that those from the Pill Dao Immortal Sect would be there too.
This was an opportunity for him to exact vengeance. While he was still too weak to deal with Jia Lingyi, he could at least cause them some trouble.
What Chu Feng didnât know was that the formation he had perfected earlier had been compressed till it was the size of a single pill.
âSenior, itâs finally completed!â Bai Yunqingâs senior uncle excitedly presented the pill-sized formation to an elder.
This elder had an interesting appearance; he had eyebrows that reached his shoulders and a beard that reached his knees. While he had an aged appearance, he had an upright posture that flaunted his two-meter-tall stature, making him appear imposing.
This person was none other than Bai Yunqingâs master, as well as the Totem Dragon Clanâs First Guest Elder, Taishi Xingzhong.
âWait here.â
Taishi Xingzhong took the compressed formation and entered the underground chamber in front of him. He passed through multiple layers of powerful barriers before finally arriving at a cliff. On the cliff was an extremely resilient gate.
Taishi Xingzhong pushed open the gate, and golden light spilled out from within. Instead of stepping into the room, he got to his knees and humbly presented the compressed formation before saying, âMilord, this pill will help you to master your divine art.â
The formation rose into the air and entered the brilliant room filled with golden light.
âWas it made the way I requested?â a voice echoed from the golden light.
Taishi Xingzhong frowned nervously upon hearing those words. âMilord, I completed the formation according to your request. Is there something wrong?â
âNot at all. I just sense a familiar aura in it,â the person inside the golden light said.
âDid I accidentally kill milordâs acquaintance?â Taishi Xingzhong was even more unnerved.
âNo, itâs just a familiar aura. I canât remember who it is, but it doesnât matter. Taishi Xingzhong, you have worked hard. This will be a huge merit for you if I succeed,â the person in the golden light said.
Boom!
An even more powerful aura rippled from the golden light. A dragonâs roar could be vaguely heard as a massive dragon silhouette flickered amidst the golden light. It didnât look to be just a manifestation of the formation but a real dragon.
Eventually, the golden light converged into the body of a man.
Upon seeing the manâs state, Taishi Xingzhongâs face lit up with delight. âCongratulations to Lord Long Lin for mastering your divine art!â
