"So that's
Upon seeing his master's excited reaction, Kou Kang was also taken aback.
After all, he had heard of Chu Feng's famous reputation — this was a figure riding a wave of popularity so powerful that even four first-tier powers had extended invitations to him.
And someone like that was tangled up with Xu Yiyi?
From the looks of it, their relationship was far from ordinary. Did that mean he had gained yet another formidable love rival?
In that moment, Kou Kang felt an immense pressure shrouding his entire body.
"It is truly better to meet in person than to hear a thousand tales. Young friend Chu Feng, not only does your mastery of barrier artistry reach extraordinary heights, but you also possess such remarkable talent in martial cultivation."
"I am Ouyang Yuqing, the Sect Master of the Three Star Hall. A pleasure to make your acquaintance, young friend Chu Feng." At that moment, the Sect Master of the Three Star Hall actually walked up to Chu Feng and took the initiative to greet him.
"Chu Feng, a pleasure to meet Sect Master Ouyang." Chu Feng returned the courtesy politely, for this man was an existence on the same level as the Valley Master of Sunset Valley and
And yet his own master had actually taken the initiative to greet a junior like Chu Feng — that truly caught Kou Kang off guard.
What surprised Kou Kang even more was that his master, who had always shielded him, suddenly wore a stern expression and said to him, "Kou Kang, you were rude to young friend Chu Feng earlier. Apologize at once."
"Master, I..." Kou Kang stared at his master in disbelief, his gaze filled with grievance.
As for Chu Feng, he said nothing. He would never speak up to plead on behalf of someone like Kou Kang.
"What do you mean, 'I'? Even Yiyi herself said Chu Feng was not rude to her, yet you attacked him. Apologize now!" the Three Star Hall Sect Master barked once more.
Under his master's coercion, no matter how reluctant Kou Kang was, he had no choice but to clasp his fists toward Chu Feng and say, "Brother Chu Feng, I was reckless earlier."
"Fine." Chu Feng's response to Kou Kang's apology was exceedingly casual, carrying an unmistakable air of not caring one bit.
And regarding Chu Feng's reaction, the Three Star Hall Sect Master did not comment further — after all, his disciple's apology had carried no sincerity to speak of.
"Now this is where you two are in the wrong. You clearly already have young friend Chu Feng at your valley, so why did you say you hadn't found anyone?"
"And furthermore, you came to me requesting punishment — were you two old fogeys deliberately toying with me?" the Three Star Hall Sect Master asked.
"That is not the case. While young friend Chu Feng does hold the status of an honored guest, we did not invite him to participate in this matter. Young friend Chu Feng was unaware of it," the Valley Master of Sunset Valley explained.
"Valley Master, I know about it now. If you have no objections, I would like to fight on behalf of Sunset Valley," Chu Feng said.
"Young friend Chu Feng, do you truly mean it?" Upon hearing these words, both the Valley Master and Su Jingrui were overjoyed.
"Of course I mean it," Chu Feng said with a smile.
"You? Against me?"
However, just at that moment, another figure swept out from within the hall.
This was also an elderly man, except that this old man not only had a head of golden hair and a full golden beard, but also wore a crown adorned with golden stars atop his head.
This old man's aura was not particularly powerful — at least not on the same level as the Valley Master of Sunset Valley, the Three Star Hall Sect Master, or Su Jingrui.
But upon his body, there was a distinctive mark that set him apart: the clothes he wore. They were none other than a Spirit World Master's robe.
Layer upon layer of immortal-grade barrier power swirled around the robe. Though it bore only worm-pattern markings, he was undeniably a true Immortal-Robe Spirit World Master.
He could only be none other than the so-called Daoist Golden Star.
After appearing, Daoist Golden Star directed his gaze straight at Chu Feng — though that gaze was entirely devoid of goodwill. "You are certain you wish to fight me?"
Seeing the other party's hostile attitude, Chu Feng did not offer him a pleasant expression in return. Instead, he let out a cold laugh and said, "You are an Immortal-Robe Spirit World Master, and I am an Immortal-Robe Spirit World Master. Why shouldn't I fight you?"
"Could it be that you are not a worm-pattern Immortal-Robe Spirit World Master, but a snake-pattern one? If you are a snake-pattern Immortal-Robe Spirit World Master, then I concede right now."
"Hmph, even among worm-pattern Immortal-Robe Spirit World Masters, there are differences in strength."
"You have only just obtained worm-pattern immortal-grade barrier power. You cannot even be considered a true Immortal-Robe Spirit World Master yet."
"Therefore, you are not qualified to spar with me," Daoist Golden Star declared.
