"Cough cough, Young Master Chu Xianshuo, jokes are fine, but please mind your language." At that moment, one of the elders addressed Chu Xianshuo directly.
"
"If you didn't mean offense toward the Holy Maiden, then you must be directing it at me." Before Chu Xianshuo could finish,
"But I have no grudge against you. This is the first time we've ever met, so why the cold sarcasm?"
"Could it be that you all wanted to see the Holy Maiden but couldn't, while I got to see her — and so you're jealous?"
"Jealousy turned to hatred, and that's why you're attacking me?"
"If I'm not mistaken, you're even planning to deal with me, aren't you?" Chu Feng said.
"Bullshit! Who do you think you are? What could you possibly have that would make us jealous?"
At that moment, all of the young masters and misses of the
"Heh heh…"
Facing the enraged crowd, Chu Feng simply smiled faintly and said, "Whether or not you're jealous — you know that in your hearts."
With that, Chu Feng leaped into the air and jumped off the mountaintop.
At that moment, the young masters and misses of the Chu Heavenly Clan gritted their teeth, their eyes filled with fury and killing intent.
After Chu Feng landed, everyone surrounded him and began questioning him once more.
They asked Chu Feng what the Holy Maiden of the Starfall Sacred Ground actually looked like.
Some even asked whether he had taken advantage of her.
However, Chu Feng paid them no attention whatsoever. He grabbed
Chu Feng had already sensed that the younger generation of the Chu Heavenly Clan intended to make a move against him, so he needed to leave this place as quickly as possible.
"Chu Feng, did you see the Holy Maiden? What does she look like?" Song Xi asked excitedly, apparently oblivious to the danger.
"I didn't see her," Chu Feng said.
"You didn't see her? But we all saw you enter the palace with our own eyes!" Song Xi was quite astonished.
"You don't believe me?" Chu Feng asked.
"No, no, of course I believe you." Song Xi shook his head vigorously.
It wasn't that he didn't believe Chu Feng — he was just surprised. The Holy Maiden had personally invited Chu Feng up, so how could he not have seen her?
Song Xi simply couldn't wrap his head around it.
"Do you know the Holy Maiden of the Starfall Sacred Ground's name?" Chu Feng asked.
"I do! Her name is
"That Xia Yun'er is no good person. You should keep your distance from her in the future."
Chu Feng said this to Song Xi in a low voice — not so much a warning as a joke. After all, he could see that Song Xi was thoroughly infatuated with that Holy Maiden.
"Huh? What do you mean?"
Sure enough, upon hearing Chu Feng's words, Song Xi's face was full of bewilderment.
"I was set up by her," Chu Feng said.
"Set up?" Song Xi grew even more confused.
"She deliberately invited me up, but never actually saw me."
"She just wanted the younger generation of the Chu Heavenly Clan to hold a grudge against me."
"It was only after I came out of the palace that I realized it," Chu Feng said.
"No way — do you have some kind of grudge against the Holy Maiden of the Starfall Sacred Ground?" Song Xi asked.
"I don't think I even know her," Chu Feng said.
"That can't be right. The Holy Maiden of the Starfall Sacred Ground has always been gentle and kind — why would she scheme against you for no reason?"
"Maybe you're overthinking it?" Song Xi said.
"I wish I were," Chu Feng said with a laugh.
When Chu Feng had walked out of the palace and sensed those gazes filled with killing intent, he had already known something was wrong. From that moment on, he understood that the younger generation of the Chu Heavenly Clan intended to move against him.
