"I did hear her mention it once. Her master is called Su Jingrui," Chu Feng said.
"Su Jingrui?!" Upon hearing that name, Liu Xiaoli, Liu Chengkun, and the others all revealed looks of shock.
"No wonder, no wonder they only refer to him as an Elder rather than the Valley Master," Liu Xiaoli murmured.
"Just who is this Su Jingrui?" Chu Feng asked curiously.
"You don't know?" Liu Xiaoli and the others were even more astonished.
"I really don't," Chu Feng said with a smile, shaking his head.
"That Su Jingrui can be considered the strongest person in Luoxia Valley after the Valley Master himself," one of the elders said.
"No, I've heard that Su Jingrui's strength is not inferior to the Valley Master's," Liu Chengkun said.
"In any case, this Su Jingrui is extraordinarily powerful. Both his status and strength are of immense significance within Luoxia Valley."
"Now that he's willing to back our Red Butterfly Association, I'm afraid even the Lu Yang Pavilion won't dare to do anything to us anymore."
"And this is all thanks to you, Chu Feng. How can I ever repay you?" Liu Xiaoli looked at Chu Feng with deep gratitude.
Although the Red Butterfly Association would no longer be able to act against the Lu Yang Pavilion from now on, for Liu Xiaoli, today was still a great gain. After all, they had escaped from the tiger's jaws and survived a calamity — and it was all thanks to Chu Feng.
If Chu Feng had previously been just a guest she wanted to recruit, then the Chu Feng of today was her great benefactor.
"If you really want to thank me, then treat me to another drink," Chu Feng said with a smile.
"Done! Someone prepare a banquet! Bring out all of the finest delicacies in the Red Butterfly Association's reserves!"
"Today, I'm holding a grand feast. Every member of the Red Butterfly Association will attend — we'll thank Chu Feng together," Liu Xiaoli declared.
"President, allow this elder to handle the arrangements," one of the elders volunteered.
"Go ahead. Make sure it's done properly," Liu Xiaoli said.
"As you command." The elder didn't dare be careless and turned to head into the Red Butterfly Association.
"President, what shall be done about Zhao Xuan and Zhao Xiao?" another elder asked.
"Zhao Xuan and Zhao Ruofan dared to poison Chu Feng — their crime is unforgivable. Execute them."
"As for Zhao Xiao, though he too deserves death, he did not directly participate. Expel him from the Red Butterfly Association," Liu Xiaoli said.
"Seriously? He's being let go? This Red Butterfly Association president is far too indecisive," the eggshell spirit's voice echoed in Chu Feng's ear.
"My dear queen, if it were you, what would you do?" Chu Feng asked curiously.
"If it were me, there would be no mercy. None of the Zhao family's remnants would be spared," the eggshell spirit said firmly.
Chu Feng said nothing more. Everyone had their own way of handling things.
Liu Xiaoli was indeed a bit too lenient, while the eggshell spirit was a bit too ruthless.
If Chu Feng were the one making the decision, he would first conduct a thorough investigation. If Zhao Xiao truly was innocent, he would naturally let him go — but if he had done anything wrong, he would absolutely not let him off easily.
Liu Xiaoli, however, had decided to spare him without even investigating, which was indeed somewhat generous.
But this was, after all, the Red Butterfly Association's internal affair, so Chu Feng didn't get involved.
…
The feast that followed was indeed quite grand, and Liu Xiaoli publicly announced the events of the day.
She made sure that every member of the Red Butterfly Association knew that today they should have been destroyed, and that it was Chu Feng who had saved them.
Gratitude — upon learning this, no matter who it was, they all felt grateful toward Chu Feng.
Envy — when they discovered that Chu Feng had actually become close friends with Su Jingrui's personal disciple, every man and woman felt envious of him.
