"Let us juniors enjoy our gathering without getting involved in our elders' affairs," Yan Lei spoke up.
Yan Lei and
"Brother Yan Lei is right. We'd best stay out of our elders' business—wouldn't want to misspeak and upset anyone." Seizing the opening, Tian Liang eagerly agreed, wiping the cold sweat from his brow as he spoke.
Since Yan Lei had spoken,
A person could brag about themselves and belittle others all they wanted—but putting down someone Chu Feng knew? Absolutely unacceptable.
"That's too bad." While Chu Feng didn't mind,
Despite being in her early twenties, this girl truly had the temperament of a young maiden—all her emotions plainly written on her face.
"Hey, Sister Ru, that necklace is beautiful! I wonder which master crafted it. The spiritual energy gathered in it is exquisite."
Tian Liang certainly knew how to flatter a girl. Noticing Yan Ru's displeasure, he quickly pivoted to complimenting her necklace—and his praise was genuine. As a Spirit World Master, he could tell that the necklace she wore was truly remarkable, far beyond what an ordinary Spirit World Master could produce.
"Chu Feng made it. Pretty, isn't it?" Yan Ru grasped the necklace at her throat with her delicate hand, showing it off proudly.
"Oh~~~ So it was made by Brother Chu Feng." The moment he heard Chu Feng's name, Tian Liang's expression turned unnatural. He quickly corrected himself:
"Brother Chu Feng did a fine job, but it still has some flaws. How about this, Sister Ru—let me refine it for you. As a Golden-Robed Spirit World Master, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
"No need. I love it just the way it is. In my eyes, this necklace is absolutely perfect. If you modified it, it wouldn't suit my taste anymore." Yan Ru refused without hesitation.
Dark lines of embarrassment spread across Tian Liang's face. He didn't know what to say, but his hatred for Chu Feng only deepened. He couldn't understand how this nobody who had suddenly appeared could be so favored by Yan Ru.
"Brother Yan, didn't we agree not to invite disciples from Green Wood Mountain? How did one of them end up here?" Suddenly, another voice rang out. Looking up, Chu Feng saw three figures approaching.
These three were Ancient Elves. This was the first time Chu Feng had truly laid eyes on them.
Back in the Ancient Immortal Pond, he had encountered Ancient Elves before, but they had all worn special robes that concealed their faces. Chu Feng had never known what they actually looked like.
But now, he could see. The Ancient Elves all had slender builds—lean without being scrawny, quite pleasing to the eye. Slender in just the right way.
As for their faces, they bore a strong resemblance to humans, yet possessed certain distinct features. Their hair was yellow, their eyes green, and their ears—slightly pointed—differed from those of humans.
But there was no denying it: the Ancient Elves were beautiful. The three before Chu Feng were clearly male, yet they looked almost feminine. Their skin was fair as jade, and a faint, pleasant fragrance seemed to emanate from their bodies.
They were born with a certain aura that set them apart from humans.
In terms of looks, even Tian Liang couldn't hold a candle to these three Ancient Elves.
However, their feminine appearance gave Chu Feng an almost effeminate impression—they didn't come across as particularly manly at all.
But precisely because of this, Chu Feng found himself rather curious about what the female Ancient Elves looked like. If the males were this beautiful, the females must be absolutely stunning.
Putting appearances aside, these three Ancient Elves all possessed formidable cultivation—every one of them at the Ninth Level of Martial King, their auras thick and powerful.
The one who had spoken first was the youngest of the three, close to Chu Feng's own age, yet his aura was the strongest among them.
Moreover, this one wore a special insignia on his chest—the emblem of the Elven Kingdom. Chu Feng had seen it before. This had to be the person Yan Ru had mentioned:
