This woman had a wonderful figure and a beautiful face, and in particular the noble aura she carried was something no other woman present could compare to.
Most importantly,
Once the woman appeared, the elders and disciples of the Jade Maiden Sect hurried forward to bow. This told Chu Feng that she was in fact the sect master of the Jade Maiden Sect.
But what shocked Chu Feng the most was that such a woman — a middle-aged beauty who possessed both strength and stunning looks, the dignified sect master of the Jade Maiden Sect — was staring fixedly at Li Changqing, that ugly old man, with unusual emotions swirling in her eyes. After a long moment, she spoke with deep feeling: "Changqing, you've finally agreed to see me."
"No way... are you serious? What is going on here? Could it really be like Li Changqing said — that he had the sect master of the Jade Maiden Sect utterly lovestruck?"
At that moment, Chu Feng's jaw nearly hit the floor. This meant Li Changqing had been telling the truth — he really had captivated the sect master of the Jade Maiden Sect so deeply that she could never forget him. But looking at the vast difference in their appearances, it was just too unbelievable.
In truth, it wasn't only Chu Feng who was stunned. The elders and disciples of the Jade Maiden Sect were even more shocked, but all they could do was gape. Not a single person dared voice a doubt, because in the Jade Maiden Sect, no one dared offend this sect master.
After that, the sect master of the Jade Maiden Sect specially prepared a banquet in honor of Chu Feng and Li Changqing. Chu Feng sat beside Li Changqing, and when no one was paying attention, he quietly leaned over and whispered:
"Sect Master, you're incredible. You told me that in your youth you had a romance with the sect master of the Jade Maiden Sect. Don't tell me — you won over her heart when she was still a little girl?"
Chu Feng's words weren't without reason. The age gap between them was enormous. Li Changqing was a bona fide little old man, while the sect master of the Jade Maiden Sect, though no longer young, looked only middle-aged — and well-preserved at that. Chu Feng could hardly imagine at what point the two of them had become entangled romantically.
"You brat, what are you thinking? Don't you know the mystic art cultivated by the Jade Maiden Sect is quite special? As long as one doesn't lose one's virginity, one can remain eternally youthful. So don't let the sect master's young appearance fool you — in truth, she's only two years younger than me," Li Changqing quietly replied.
"Holy crap, that's insane."
Chu Feng was utterly amazed. He never imagined there was a mystic art like this in the world — it really opened his eyes. But what surprised him even more was that the sect master of the Jade Maiden Sect, as well as these elders, had been able to keep themselves chaste for so many years. That took extraordinary willpower.
Watching Chu Feng and Li Changqing whispering to each other, the sect master of the Jade Maiden Sect assumed Chu Feng was eager to see his fiancée. She turned to a female disciple and asked: "Where is Ruyu? Why hasn't she come to greet our guests yet?"
"Reporting to the Sect Master,
"Oh?" The sect master blinked in puzzlement but didn't press further. Instead, she turned to Chu Feng with an apologetic expression and said:
"Dear nephew Chu Feng, I'm truly sorry. Ruyu is feeling under the weather, so I'm afraid you won't be able to see her today. But never mind — tomorrow when we head to the Hundred Sects Convention, you'll travel with us. I'll arrange a private opportunity for the two of you to meet."
"Oh, you're too kind. I came here to accompany my Master to visit you, nothing more!" Chu Feng said with an awkward laugh.
"Chu Feng, if this
"Of course I know that. But even if she were satisfied with me, she'd still have to be someone I'm interested in." Chu Feng was thoroughly displeased, and his impression of Yan Ruyu dropped from zero into negative territory.
That day, Chu Feng and Li Changqing were invited to stay the night. The next morning, they joined the Jade Maiden Sect's entourage and headed to the Lingyun Sect to attend the Hundred Sects Convention.
In order to help Chu Feng and Yan Ruyu communicate better, the sect master of the Jade Maiden Sect deliberately arranged for Chu Feng's carriage to be positioned right next to Yan Ruyu's. But Yan Ruyu never set foot outside. Forget having a conversation — Chu Feng didn't even know what she looked like. And naturally, he wasn't so shameless as to go out of his way to request a meeting with her.
Li Changqing and the sect master of the Jade Maiden Sect, on the other hand, chatted away merrily, seemingly oblivious to everyone around them, leaving many people speechless.
After about a day of travel, the Jade Maiden Sect's convoy encountered another sect — the Swordless Sect, ranked fourth among the first-class sects.
The Swordless Sect had also been invited to the Hundred Sects Convention, and its sect master brazenly requested to travel together with the Jade Maiden Sect. Not wanting to offend him by refusing, the sect master of the Jade Maiden Sect reluctantly agreed.
However, the Swordless Sect's number one disciple, Nangong Xiao, was even more shameless. He marched right up to Yan Ruyu's palanquin and demanded to see her.
At that moment, Chu Feng, whose carriage was right next to Yan Ruyu's palanquin, quietly extended his Mental Power outward — and overheard the following exchange.
"That Nangong Xiao is a shameless scoundrel. I'm not seeing him. Tell him to get lost," a haughty yet gentle voice rang out. It had to be Yan Ruyu.
"Senior Sister, I think you should see Nangong Xiao."
"Why?"
"Think about it. The sect master has arranged your engagement to that Chu Feng, and out of respect for her, you can't really refuse. But what is Chu Feng? He's nothing but a toad. And now, under the sect master's pressure, he's actually going to get a taste of the swan meat that is you."
"Pretending to be sick isn't a sustainable plan. If you anger the sect master, things will only get worse. Nangong Xiao has long been smitten with you, and he's the Swordless Sect's number one disciple — far superior to Chu Feng in both strength and status. If he learns that you already have a fiancé, he'll be furious. Knowing his temper, he'd probably attack Chu Feng directly."
"And right now, Chu Feng is right here. Why don't you use Nangong Xiao to teach Chu Feng a lesson? Make him back off on his own. That way, the sect master will see how incompetent Chu Feng really is, and she might change her mind and cancel your engagement."
"Would that work? Won't the sect master be upset?"
"Why wouldn't it work? This is the best option right now. If you miss this chance, your marriage to Chu Feng will be set in stone for good."
"Then... fine."
"Son of a bitch, those two scheming bitches just called me a toad." Having caught every word, Chu Feng was seething with rage.
"Hee hee, Chu Feng, your fiancée is quite the schemer. So what's your plan now?" Eggy said with a mischievous giggle, clearly eager to pour oil on the fire.
"Fiancette my ass — she couldn't pay me to take her. She wants me to back off? Today I'm going to make sure she's the one with no way out!"
ps: Some people just don't know when to quit. Do you tolerate it? Endure it? Avoid it? No — you teach them a lesson. Brothers, let's go! It's time for our Chu Feng to shine.
