"Junior Brother Chu Feng, all your items have been sold out." Soon after sitting down, Yu He, having finished his rounds, approached. His face was brimming with joy, and he held a high-quality Universe Bag in his hand.
"Thank you for your trouble, Senior Brother Yu He." Chu Feng took the Universe Bag, but upon inspecting it, his expression changed dramatically. He was shocked to discover that the bag contained a full fifteen thousand Heaven Pearls.
Although his treasures were valuable, Chu Feng had expected selling them for a few tens of thousands of Heaven Pearls would be an excellent result. Selling them for fifteen thousand was far beyond his expectations.
"Hehe, Junior Brother Chu Feng, I don't know where you got so many treasures. Many are everyday items, but they're ancient, some thousands of years old. Such treasures are in extremely high demand!" Just as Chu Feng was wondering, Yu He explained with a smile.
Hearing Yu He's words, Chu Feng roughly understood. The Eastern Sea Region wasn't like the Eastern Mainland. Even Martial Kings existed here, let alone Heaven Pearls—Yuan Pearls were probably present too. What this place lacked least were likely cultivation resources.
But after all, the Ji Imperial Clan had been passed down for so many years. It was only natural that the accumulated treasures they brought would sell well here.
"Oh? Isn't this Junior Sister Su Rou and Junior Sister Su Mei? So you know these two country bumpkins?"
Just then, a sharp, sarcastic voice came from behind. Turning to look, Chu Feng saw a group of people walking towards them.
Leading the group were two young men. Both possessed a cultivation at the fourth level of Heaven Martial and wore the same imperial attire as Shen Tu Lang. Just one glance was enough for Chu Feng to identify them.
They had to be the two other Shen Tu clan members competing with Zhang Tianyi and Jiang Wushang for the opportunity.
"Brother Chu Feng, they are Shen Tu Jiang and Shen Tu Hai. They should be brothers of that Shen Tu Lang." As expected, Jiang Wushang's voice transmission confirmed Chu Feng's guess.
Behind Shen Tu Jiang and Shen Tu Hai followed several disciples from the Four Seas Academy. Clearly, these people, much like Yu He, knew that these two Shen Tu clan members had a high chance of becoming disciples of a Heaven-tier Mentor, so they were trying to curry favor.
Otherwise, how could dignified disciples of the Four Seas Academy act like lackeys, following people who hadn't even officially become the Academy's disciples yet?
After a brief, cold sweep of these people, Chu Feng said, "Whose two dogs are these, left off their leashes to bark and cause trouble?"
"Damn it! Who are you? How dare you speak to Junior Brother Shen Tu like that?!" Before the two Shen Tu imperial clan members could respond, several middle-aged Four Seas Academy disciples behind them pointed at Chu Feng and shouted furiously.
"He is my future husband. Do any of you have a problem with that?" At that moment, Su Rou spoke. Her exquisitely beautiful face was clouded with displeasure, and her lovely eyes now gleamed with an invisible, chilling sharpness. It was clear she was truly angry.
"What? Junior Sister Su Rou, he's your future husband?" This revelation left the crowd both shocked and fearful. They were stunned that a woman of Su Rou's caliber already had a fiancé. How many male disciples who harbored feelings for her would be heartbroken!
But what truly frightened them was Su Rou's genuine anger. They could feel her killing intent. Although their cultivation meant they weren't afraid of her personally, her current status meant they dared not disregard her wrath.
"He's not just Big Sister's future husband; he's my future husband too. So you'd better watch your manners. Otherwise, I will report to Mentor Duanmu that someone disrespected me, and you'll all be in serious trouble." Su Mei also spoke sharply at that moment. The Mentor Duanmu she mentioned was the Heaven-tier Mentor who had accepted her as a disciple.
"This... this..."
At this point, these people were utterly dumbfounded. What was going on? What was this kid's background? It was one thing to win over a great beauty like Su Rou, but Su Mei, another lovely girl, was also his. He had actually claimed a pair of sisters, and they both seemed entirely willing, utterly devoted, and determined to marry no one else.
This was truly hard for them to accept, like a hammer weighing millions of pounds smashing onto their heads, leaving them dizzy and stunned.
Especially Su Mei's threat to report to Mentor Duanmu terrified many into silence. This was no small matter. If Mentor Duanmu were to punish them, it wouldn't just be them—their own mentors would likely face punishment too. That would be a true disaster.
"He's only a future husband, not actually their husband yet. Why defend him so fiercely?"
"Exactly! Junior Sisters, there are plenty of talented people in the Four Seas Academy. He's only at the third level of Heaven Martial—is he worth dedicating your lives to? I'd say you'd be better off with us!"
While many were intimidated, the brothers Shen Tu Jiang and Shen Tu Hai deliberately provoked them. After all, they were also chosen by a Heaven-tier Mentor and were confident they would ultimately become the sole disciple. Therefore, they didn't fear Su Rou or Su Mei.
"Do you want to die?" At that moment, Chu Feng was enraged. His voice was laced with killing intent. Someone dared to openly flirt with his fiancés right in front of him. Chu Feng was genuinely murderous.
"Chu Feng!" Seeing this, Zhang Tianyi quickly stepped forward and gave Chu Feng a firm pat on the shoulder, signaling him not to act recklessly.
He understood Chu Feng too well. Chu Feng was very smart and certainly knew he couldn't just start fighting in this environment.
But he also knew Chu Feng was a fiercely spirited man. If that spirit fully ignited, Chu Feng would act crazily, regardless of the consequences.
So he was truly worried, afraid Chu Feng would go on a killing spree here. With Chu Feng's cultivation, he could easily slaughter Shen Tu Jiang and Shen Tu Hai.
The problem was, Chu Feng hadn't formally joined the Four Seas Academy; he was an outsider. However, Shen Tu Jiang and Shen Tu Hai had already joined and were considered half-members of the Academy.
If Chu Feng killed them, it would be a direct slap to the face of the Four Seas Academy. The Academy would never let Chu Feng go. Therefore, he couldn't let Chu Feng start fighting here.
"Shen Tu Jiang, Shen Tu Hai, are you looking for trouble? If you want trouble, come at me! I, Jiang Wushang, will accompany you anytime!" Jiang Wushang was also angry. He shot to his feet with a swish and bellowed at the two brothers.
His shout was so loud that nearly everyone in the entire plaza heard it. Countless gazes turned in their direction.
These gazes came not only from the outsiders but also from many Four Seas Academy disciples, and even some of the Academy's elders and mentors.
