"So that guy is Chu Feng?"
When he saw his master's excited reaction, Kou Kang's heart skipped a beat.
After all, he had heard of Chu Feng's great name — a figure whose reputation was soaring at present. He'd heard that even four first-rate powers had extended olive branches to him.
And how could such a person be involved with Xu Yiyi?
The way the two of them seemed so close — didn't that mean he'd just gained a powerful rival in love?
At that moment, an immense pressure suddenly descended upon Kou Kang, enveloping his entire body.
"Truly, meeting you is worth more than a thousand tales. Young friend Chu Feng, it turns out your accomplishments in barrier arts are extraordinary, and you also possess such talent in martial cultivation."
"I am Ouyang Yuqing, Hallmaster of Three Star Hall. A pleasure to meet you, young friend Chu Feng." Just then, the Hallmaster of Three Star Hall actually walked up to Chu Feng and took the initiative to greet him.
"Chu Feng. A pleasure to meet you, Hallmaster Ouyang." Chu Feng returned the courtesy politely — after all, this was someone at the same level as the Valley Master of Luoxia Valley and Su Jingrui.
That his own master would take the initiative to greet a junior like Chu Feng truly caught Kou Kang off guard.
What surprised Kou Kang even more was that his master, who had always shielded him, suddenly wore a stern expression and said, "Kou Kang, you were rude to young friend Chu Feng earlier. Apologize to him at once!"
"Master, I..." Kou Kang stared at his master in shock, his eyes full of grievance.
As for Chu Feng, he stood off to the side like a bystander and said nothing — he certainly wasn't going to put in a word for someone like Kou Kang.
"What do you mean, 'I'? Yiyi already said Chu Feng didn't act rudely toward her, yet you still attacked young friend Chu Feng. That kind of behavior is truly rude."
"Aren't you going to apologize to young friend Chu Feng right now? Have you forgotten how I've trained you?" The Hallmaster of Three Star Hall scolded again, his tone growing even harsher.
Under his master's coercion, no matter how unwilling Kou Kang was, he could only cup his fists toward Chu Feng and say, "Brother Chu Feng, I was rash earlier."
"No matter." Chu Feng's response to Kou Kang's apology was thoroughly casual, giving the impression he couldn't care less.
The Hallmaster of Three Star Hall said nothing to Chu Feng's reaction — after all, his disciple's apology hadn't been sincere in the first place.
"I'd say the two of you are in the wrong here. You clearly already have young friend Chu Feng at your valley, so why did you say you hadn't found anyone? And you even asked me to punish you."
"You two old fogeys, were you trying to make a fool of me?" The Hallmaster of Three Star Hall looked unhappily toward the Valley Master of Luoxia Valley and Su Jingrui.
"It's not like that," the Valley Master of Luoxia Valley explained. "Although young friend Chu Feng is an honored guest, we did not invite him to participate in this matter. Young friend Chu Feng knew nothing about it."
"Valley Master, I know about this matter now. If you have no objections, I'd like to fight on behalf of Luoxia Valley and exchange moves with the Spirit World Master that Three Star Hall has brought." Chu Feng said.
"Young friend Chu Feng, do you truly mean this?" Hearing this, both the Valley Master of Luoxia Valley and Su Jingrui were overjoyed.
"I've just become an Immortal-Robed Spirit World Master, and I've been looking for a senior to spar with. Today happens to be a rare opportunity." Chu Feng said with a smile.
"Spar with me? You think you're up to it?"
However, at that moment, another figure flew out from within the hall.
This was also an old man, except this one not only had golden hair but a full golden beard.
Moreover, atop his head he wore a crown adorned with golden stars.
The old man's aura was not particularly strong — at least not as strong as the Valley Master of Luoxia Valley, the Hallmaster of Three Star Hall, or Su Jingrui.
But he bore a mark that set him apart from the rest — the clothes he wore were a Spirit World Robe.
Layer upon layer of Immortal-tier barrier power coiled about the Spirit World Robe. Though only worm-pattern, he was unquestionably a genuine Immortal-Robed Spirit World Master.
