Several days passed in a flash.
The elder would always arrive on time to collect Chu Fengâs crops, but he didnât speak a word about Chu Fengâs murder. Someone would have surely reported the matter to the elder, but the elder didnât punish him. This showed that they truly didnât care about this matter.
Meanwhile, Chen Hui hadnât harvested a single crop in the last few days. He was completely focused on examining the sickle and the crops.
âI finally get it!â Chen Hui suddenly exclaimed out of delight in the early morning.
He manually harvested the crops with his sickle.
Chu Feng initially noticed some mistakes with Chen Huiâs movements and wanted to point them out, but he noticed that Chen Hui was making adjustments to correct his mistakes.
âIt looks like Chen Huiâs intelligence is above Bai Yunqingâs.â
Chu Feng didnât think that Bai Yunqing would have fared better than Chen Hui here. This showed how terrifyingly talented Chen Hui was. It was only a matter of time before Chen Hui overtook Bai Yunqing.
Chen Hui diligently harvested the crops from early morning till afternoon. It took him eight hours before he finally finished harvesting all of his crops. When he was finally done, he plopped onto the ground and gasped for air. Sweat rained from his body.
He was exhausted, but there was a satisfied smile on his face.
âTired?â Chu Feng asked.
âIt isnât easy at all. Is it that tough for normal farmers when they harvest crops too?â Chen Hui murmured.
âOf course. Their work is ten times more tiring than ours,â Chu Feng replied.
âAre you serious? They donât have to study and align the formations; all they have to do is to harvest the crops. How can their work be ten times more tiring than ours?â Chen Hui asked.
âThey are doing it with their mortal bodies. Thatâs bound to be tiring,â Chu Feng said.
âWhy do they still do that then?â
âItâs for their family and themselves. Itâs their way of survival.â
âYou know quite a bit. Are you on close terms with a mortal?â
âI used to be a mortal too.â
âYou were born in the Lower Realm?â
âMmhm.â
âWhich Lower Realm?â
Instead of answering the question, Chu Feng asked, âDo you want my pointers?â
âNo need, no need. Please donât offer me any pointers. I know I can still do better than this,â Chen Hui replied.
âFeel free to tell me if you require help,â Chu Feng said.
âOf course!â Chen Hui replied with a radiant smile.
Boom!
A massive pillar suddenly gushed into the sky, breaching Chu Fengâs barrier. Two people, a man and a woman, flew through the breach and headed in Chu Fengâs direction.
The man was dashing, whereas the woman was a fair-skinned beauty. It was evident that the two of them were extremely powerful from the patterns on their world spiritist robes. The woman was at Blue Dragon God-cloak, whereas the man was at Gold Dragon God-cloak.
They carried tokens on their waist bearing the words âImmortal Spirit Manorâ.
âImmortal Spirit Manor? Finally a decent opponent,â Chen Hui murmured.
The two of them had come into proximity, but they chose to remain in the sky to gaze down on Chu Feng.
âYou are Chu Feng?â the woman asked.
âAre you blind or illiterate?â Chu Feng asked.
âHow dare you speak to me in this manner? Do you know who I am?â The woman frowned in displeasure.
âCalm down, junior.â The man stopped the woman before turning to smile at Chu Feng. âYoung master Chu Feng, I am the young master of the Seven Realms Galaxyâs Immortal Spirit Manor, Zhao Tianâao. This is my junior, Song Yuping. We donât bear any ill-will toward you. It was out of no choice that we breached your barrier. We simply wanted to befriend you, but that barrier was in our path, so please pardon us.â
âWhat business do you have with me?â Chu Feng asked.
âI know that all of the agricultural fields are the same; the secret behind harvesting better crops lies in the sickleâs formation and the crops. Young master Chu Feng, you must have grasped the secret to harvest such high-quality crops. I wonder if you would be willing to share the secret with us. Of course, Iâm more than willing to pay you handsomely for that,â Zhao Tianâao said.
âMy apologies. I donât intend to share my secret,â Chu Feng replied.
Song Yuping pointed her finger at Chu Feng and snarled. âChu Feng, donât test our patience.â
Chu Fengâs eyes turned cold. âWatch your words. Itâs not just one or two women who have died in my hands.â
âOh? You want to kill me? Hah, do you think that you can act as you please just because youâre a Gold Dragon God-cloak World Spiritist? You must not know what kind of palace our Immortal Spirit Manor is to dare threaten me!â Song Yuping sneered.
She looked at Zhao Tianâao, as if hinting at him to teach Chu Feng a lesson.
Zhao Tianâao didnât make a move right away, but his attitude was clearly less amicable than before. âYoung master Chu Feng, the world of cultivation is deep. Itâs better to make a friend than an enemy. Iâll give you some time to think about it. However, I ask you to show some respect to my junior. She is an influential person in our Immortal Spirit Manor. I wonât be able to help you if you offend her.â
âLetâs not waste time. I have already told you my decision, so you may leave now. Young miss, Iâm more than willing to play with you if thatâs what you want, but I donât know if you can bear the consequence,â Chu Feng replied coldly.
Zhao Tianâaoâs eyes turned cold.
âEyy, young master Zhao! You want to know the correct way to harvest the crops, right? I know the secret behind that too,â Chen Hui suddenly spoke up with a chuckle.
âYou know it too?â Zhao Tianâao assessed Chen Hui with contemptuous eyes. He didnât seem to believe the latter.
âI do. Why donât you wait a while? The elder is arriving soon. Youâll know very soon whether Iâm lying or not,â Chen Hui replied.
âStop blowing your own trumpet. You donât have the talent for that. Senior, letâs go. Chu Feng clearly doesnât know whatâs better for him. Heâll know the consequences for offending us once weâre out of here,â Song Yuping said.
âLetâs wait a little longer. The elder is arriving soon,â Zhao Tianâao said.
âSenior, you canât possibly think that fatty is smart enough to decipher the secret here, right? After all, youâ¦â Song Yuping hurriedly shut her mouth halfway through. She didnât think that her senior would take the subsequent half of her words too well.
âWeâre already here anyway. We can afford to stay a little longer,â Zhao Tianâao replied. He then turned to Chen Hui and said, âI assume youâre aware of the consequences of wasting my time?â
âI know, I know. Relax, I am a person of my word,â Chen Hui replied with a wide grin.
