"Get lost! If you block my way again, I'll cripple you." But just as Chu Feng walked out of the Mission Hall, a sharp female voice rang out.
"Su Mei?"
Hearing this voice, Chu Feng was startled. He thought Su Mei had run into some trouble, so he hurried over in the direction of the voice.
As expected, he spotted Su Mei not far away. However, at this moment, she was surrounded by over ten members of the Sword Dao Alliance.
They weren't hiding their auras, so Chu Feng could clearly sense that most of them were at the Spirit Martial Fifth Level, while the strongest among them was a young man at the Spirit Martial 6th Stage.
He was a tall youth with fair skin, thick eyebrows, and big eyes—the very picture of a pretty boy. He was currently leering at Su Mei. Damn, these members of the Sword Dao Alliance were shamelessly flirting with her in public.
However, perhaps due to Su Mei's special status, the pale-faced guy was flirting with a certain degree of subtlety. Still, it annoyed Su Mei greatly, and she looked ready to explode.
Seeing this, Chu Feng, who had initially intended to help, stopped in his tracks. He knew Su Mei's strength—she was at the Spirit Martial 7th Stage. These guys daring to pester her were just asking for a beating.
But clearly, this girl didn't want to reveal her power and was holding back. So Chu Feng simply joined the crowd of onlookers, secretly laughing to himself: "I'll see how long you can hold out, you little minx."
"Miss Su Mei, I, Jian Chen, truly like you. Can't you just give me a chance?"
"Besides, in the entire Inner Sect, considering family background, strength, and looks, who else besides me, Jian Chen, is worthy of you?"
The pale-faced guy named Jian Chen was pouring out his heart with a look of deep affection, but his shifty eyes were roving over Su Mei's body. When they landed on an attractive spot, he couldn't help licking his lips.
"You…" Su Mei's patience was clearly at its limit. What she hated most was being pestered.
Just as she was about to explode, she suddenly spotted a familiar figure in the crowd. An idea struck her, and she immediately retracted her angry expression. Looking somewhat embarrassed, she said to Jian Chen, "Actually, I already have a beloved."
"What? You have a beloved? Who is it?" Upon hearing this, Jian Chen looked as if he had suffered a massive blow and became completely agitated.
Su Mei smiled proudly, then turned her gaze to the crowd. In an extremely gentle tone, she said, "Darling, someone is bullying me, and you're just going to stand there and watch?" The person she was looking at was none other than Chu Feng.
"Goddammit," Chu Feng cursed inwardly. He hadn't expected to get found out so quickly and be set up like this. Su Mei was clearly using him as a shield!
Despite his displeasure, as a man facing the gathered gazes from all around, how could he back down? Besides, he had initially planned to help her out.
"Baby, I just got here. Which bastard bullied you? I'll teach him a lesson for you." Chu Feng pretended to casually walk out of the crowd and came up to Su Mei. He grinned mischievously and did something that left everyone stunned.
With a wave of his arm, a gust of wind swept past, and he pulled the delicate little beauty, Su Mei, into his embrace with a single motion.
This scene shocked everyone. Their mouths hung wide open, and some people's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
Who was Su Mei? In the Inner Sect, she was a genius known to everyone, a famous beauty. Although not many had seen her, anyone who had seen her was captivated by her beauty.
Many regarded her as the goddess of their hearts. Those with high strength and powerful backgrounds directly began their pursuit of Su Mei. In truth, this Jian Chen was just one of them.
"You…" Being groped right in front of so many people, anger blazed in Su Mei's eyes.
But considering her plan, she bit back her fury. She didn't lash out but instead smiled happily, leaning into Chu Feng's embrace like a sweet little bird.
