"Senior Sister Dongxue, what are you doing? Junior Brother Wuxing is only trying to help us. Whether it works or not, why not just try it? There's no need to speak so harshly." At this moment,Chunwu's pretty face also changed,and she actually defended Chu Feng against Dongxue.
"Is it me being harsh,or is he heartless? If it were just the four of us,I guarantee our harvest right now would be much greater."
"But what are we doing all this for now? Isn't it all for him? Yet he speaks to me like this,and even threatens to part ways. What a joke. As if I would be afraid to separate from him?"
"Chunwu,if it weren't for you that day,begging us repeatedly to bring this Wuxing along,I would never have agreed to carry such a useless burden. What good is his barrier technique if it's completely useless in a place like this?"
Dongxue spoke with great anger,venting all the dissatisfaction in her heart. Her attitude toward sharing the Martial Runes with Chu Feng was far less indifferent than she had let on; in fact,she cared a great deal.
At this moment,Chu Feng's expression also darkened,as he finally learned the truth. He had originally thought that Dongxue and the others genuinely wanted to help him. But now it seemed entirely different. At the very least,in Dongxue's mind,not only was she highly dissatisfied with Chu Feng sharing the Martial Runes,she also considered him a burden,a drag. That was precisely why she was venting her anger at him now—she had long been unhappy with him.
What shocked Chu Feng the most was learning that their willingness to bring him along and protect him was only because of Chunwu's persistent pleading. His emotions became quite complicated. The newfound good impression he had just formed of Dongxue vanished in an instant.
"Senior Sister Dongxue,that's not a fair thing to say. It's true I suggested bringing Junior Brother Chu Feng with us that day,but I didn't beg you repeatedly. You all voluntarily agreed."
"Don't think I don't know what you were thinking. You only agreed because you wanted to use Junior Brother Wuxing's barrier technique to try and get more Martial Runes."
"But after coming here,you found that the barrier technique doesn't work at all. No matter how strong one's mental power is in this place,there's no room to use it. Instead,Master's method is far more direct and effective."
"So now you think Junior Brother Wuxing has no value and is just a burden? How can you be so opportunistic? Is it that one day when I'm no longer useful to you,I'll become your burden too?" Chunwu asked sharply.
"Chunwu,watch your tone. Is that any way to speak to your senior sister?" Dongxue shouted in anger.
"Chunwu,be quiet. How can you be so disrespectful?" At the same time,Xia Yu also spoke up to reprimand Chunwu.
Only Qiu Zhu looked troubled at this moment and quietly advised,"Senior Sister Dongxue,Junior Sister Chunwu,please both say a little less. There's no need to argue."
"Heh heh." Just then,Chu Feng suddenly laughed. He cupped his fists and bowed to Chunwu,Xia Yu,Dongxue,and Qiu Zhu. "Wuxing thanks you all for your care yesterday. I am endlessly grateful for your help. If there is an opportunity in the future,I will certainly repay you."
"Junior Brother Wuxing,there's no need to say that. We did what we should have. What is there to repay? If anyone should be repaying anyone,it should be me repaying you. After all,if you hadn't stepped in that day,my mental power might never have recovered,let alone improved." A hint of shame appeared on Qiu Zhu's face.
"Junior Brother Wuxing,please don't be angry. Although Senior Sister Dongxue's words were indeed a bit excessive earlier,please don't take them to heart. That's just her temper. She really didn't mean any harm." Xia Yu also tried to persuade him,but it was very clear that her stance was completely on Dongxue's side.
At this moment,although Xia Yu's attitude wasn't entirely obvious,Chu Feng could already see that this Xia Yu was exactly the same as Dongxue. While normally very pleasant,whenever a matter touched upon their own interests,they would become completely different people.
There was nothing more for Chu Feng to say to such people. He gave a cold laugh and said,"Senior Sister Xia Yu,there's no need to say anything. I understand what you mean. But this Wuxing doesn't want to be anyone's burden. Farewell."
As he spoke,Chu Feng soared into the air and flew away into the distance. He no longer cared whether he might run into Yafei;he only knew he didn't want to stay here and swallow this insult.
"Junior Brother Wuxing,wait for me!" However,Chu Feng had only flown a short distance when he heard Chunwu's voice from behind. Looking back,he saw it was indeed that girl chasing after him.
"Senior Sister Chunwu,why are you here?" Seeing Chunwu,Chu Feng was somewhat surprised.
"Because I think Senior Sister Dongxue and the others are wrong. So I want to go with you," Chunwu said.
"But Senior Sister Chunwu,aren't you afraid I was just bragging and don't actually have the ability to capture Martial Runes?" Chu Feng asked with a grin.
"So what? Would I be unable to live if I left them?" Chunwu lifted her chin,full of confidence. Then she quietly leaned in and whispered in Chu Feng's ear,"Let me tell you a secret. I have five Spirit World Guards,and they're all at the Martial Lord realm."
"Although their cultivation is far from my three senior sisters' levels,the good thing is there are many of them. With their help,I can definitely capture Martial Runes. You won't even need to lift a finger—you can just watch the excitement from the sidelines."
"Just relax. With your Senior Sister Chunwu here,I guarantee you won't come back empty-handed. We might not be able to get our hands on Forbidden Martial Arts,but at least we should get a Ninth-rank Martial Art. Remember,the Martial Arts inside this Martial Rune Fairyland are all from ancient times. Even if they're Ninth-rank,their power is nothing like the Ninth-rank Martial Arts of today." Chunwu said with a sweet smile,patting her chest to guarantee it.
Looking at Chunwu like this,though Chu Feng didn't say much more,his heart felt warm. No matter how Chunwu might treat others,she was truly genuine with him. At this moment,Chu Feng sincerely considered Chunwu a good friend. After all,everyone has a heart that responds to kindness. Chu Feng was someone who valued loyalty above all else. If others treated him with respect,he would return it tenfold. If others gave him a drop of water,he would repay them with a river.
So Chu Feng made a resolution:not only would he split the Martial Runes captured in this Martial Rune Fairyland evenly with Chunwu,but in the future,whenever Chunwu needed help with anything,he would be there.
Back at the place of the argument,Xia Yu,Dongxue,and Qiu Zhu were still standing there. Qiu Zhu was even gazing in the direction Chunwu had left,her brows furrowed with worry. "Senior Sister Xia Yu,Senior Sister Dongxue,how could you just let them go like that?"
