"Due to the barrier formation, those who do not possess the Sacred Light bloodline are not permitted to enter the Sacred Light Treasure Pavilion."
"Young Master Chu Feng, you will need these to enter the Sacred Light Treasure Pavilion along with Elder Niantian."
"However, these items are limited in number. As such, only the most distinguished of distinguished guests may enter our Sacred Light Treasure Pavilion."
As Sacred Light Baimei spoke, he produced two barrier jade pendants.
The pendants contained formations that were connected as one with the Sacred Light Treasure Pavilion itself.
"With these, you will be able to enter. However, due to the nature of the formation, only one person from our Sacred Valley may accompany each of you."
"Therefore, Young Master Chu Feng, Elder Niantian, we can only escort you this far."
"Elder Niantian, Elder Buyu will accompany you from here."
"Young Master Chu Feng, Xintian will go in with you. You young people should have more to talk about."
As Sacred Light Baimei spoke, he handed the jade pendants to Chu Feng and Daoist Niantian respectively.
At the same time, the people standing around them all stepped back, as if deliberately making way for something.
And so, only Sacred Light Xintian remained beside Chu Feng.
"Young friend Chu Feng, choose wisely. Do not let down the Sacred Valley's hospitality."
Daoist Niantian held the formation jade pendant, gave Chu Feng a smile, and then placed the pendant against his Dantian.
The Dantian jade pendant, the moment it touched his body, passed through his clothing, through his flesh, and went straight into his Dantian.
Hummm—
In the next instant, his body radiated a barrier glow.
To be precise, a formation was released from within him.
The formation's range was not large — it just about covered himself and Sacred Light Buyu standing beside him.
When the formation appeared, everyone's gaze did not linger on Daoist Niantian. Instead, they all turned their eyes toward the entrance of the Sacred Light Treasure Pavilion.
At that moment, on the originally plain wooden door, a force of the barrier had also appeared.
The barrier force projected outward from within the door, forming a small barrier gate.
Above the barrier gate, there was a line of barrier text.
The text read:
"Honored guests, welcome. Enter our Sacred Light Treasure Pavilion and choose any single martial skill at will."
Once these words appeared, Daoist Niantian and Sacred Light Buyu rose into the air together and passed through the barrier gate.
The moment the two of them entered, the barrier gate and all the barrier force vanished completely.
The entrance of the Sacred Light Treasure Pavilion returned to its usual, unassuming appearance.
"Brother Chu Feng, just place it against your Dantian," Sacred Light Xintian reminded him.
"Hey, stop calling me 'Brother.' It feels a bit weird. Just call me Chu Feng," Chu Feng said.
"But I like calling you 'Brother.' Besides, I've already been held in Brother Chu Feng's arms. I'm not asking Brother Chu Feng to marry me — I just want to call you 'Brother.' That's not too much to ask, is it?"
Sacred Light Xintian's tone was sweet and coy, but she wore a mischievous grin on her face. Anyone could tell she was deliberately teasing Chu Feng.
And her words only further confirmed the fact that she and Chu Feng had been in close physical contact.
Everyone present couldn't help but glance at Chu Feng.
Sacred Light Qianyu even gave Chu Feng a thumbs-up: "Brother Chu Feng, nice moves."
He wasn't teasing Chu Feng — he genuinely admired him.
Sacred Light Xintian normally came across as carefree and rough around the edges, but not a single man had ever touched her.
Yet Chu Feng had only just arrived at the Sacred Valley and had already held Sacred Light Xintian in his arms. And looking at how forward she was being now, even a fool could tell she had taken a liking to Chu Feng.
"I…"
*Sigh, looks like I've gone and stirred up trouble.*
Chu Feng felt a bit helpless, though his helplessness was mostly feigned. What kind of situations had Chu Feng not faced before? Would something like this truly give him a headache?
After all, back in the day, Chu Feng had lived by the creed — if there's a bargain to be had, you'd be a fool not to take it.
So Chu Feng stopped bantering with Sacred Light Xintian and placed the formation jade pendant against his Dantian.
Hummm—
