Chu Feng wore a radiant smile on his face at that moment, warm enough to melt anyone's heart.
But what truly caught everyone's eye was Chu Feng's right hand, where he held a bouquet of flowers—exquisite and beautiful. Each flower boasted seven petals, and every single petal was a different color.
Under the sunlight, they were absolutely gorgeous, as though draped in a faint seven-colored luminescence. Several butterflies fluttered gracefully around them, a testament to how intoxicatingly fragrant the flowers were.
The Seven-Colored Flower—something incredibly rare, typically encountered only by chance—yet here Chu Feng held an entire bouquet of them.
"Spirit Medicine is certainly important to me, but these Seven-Colored Flowers matter more. Since you wanted to see them, I had to pick them for you." Chu Feng smiled as he placed the large bouquet of Seven-Colored Flowers into Su Mei's hands.
"I..." Su Mei accepted the flowers, at a loss for what to say or do. She only felt her heart pounding faster and faster, a bittersweet warmth filling her chest, her eyes already glistening with unshed tears.
"Don't tell me you're about to cry from being moved," Chu Feng said with a chuckle.
"Shut up. Who's crying?"
Su Mei glared at Chu Feng but actually managed to hold back her tears. Then she leaned in close to the bouquet, took a deep breath, and inhaled their intoxicating fragrance. A joyful smile spread across her face.
Her smile was so sweet, so beautiful—truly a smile that could captivate anyone's heart. It enchained everyone present, Chu Feng included.
But few people knew that Su Mei's radiant smile came not just from the Seven-Colored Flowers in her hands, but from the person willing to pick them for her.
"Let's hurry. If the two hours run out, we'll all fail," Su Mei reminded everyone with a smile amid her joy.
"What about them? They're seriously injured—if they don't get treatment in time, won't they die?" someone asked worriedly. Although they themselves had taken quite a beating, most of their injuries were merely superficial, nothing compared to the members of the World Alliance and Sword Dao Alliance lying on the ground.
"Don't worry. I held back. They won't die," Chu Feng explained.
"Mm, don't worry about them. When the examination time is up, my sister and the others will come into this Green Dragon Garden. They'll naturally treat them once they see their condition."
"Besides, they started this first, so my sister won't hold us responsible. What matters right now is getting out of this Green Dragon Garden quickly," Su Mei said.
"I know where the exit is. Follow me." Chu Feng grinned, then confidently led the way as though he had walked the path a thousand times before.
"You're here for the first time too, so how could you possibly know where the exit is?" Su Mei followed close behind, half-skeptical.
"In order to pick these flowers for you, I ran all over the entire Green Dragon Garden. Now I know this place like the back of my hand. Forget just finding the exit—I've even picked every single Spirit Herb in here." Chu Feng laughed and patted his Universe Bag.
"You really are something."
Hearing Chu Feng say this, Su Mei felt both stunned and moved. Stunned by his speed—the Green Dragon Garden was so vast that even an entire day's walk might not cover it all, yet Chu Feng had managed to explore every corner in a short time. Just how fast was he?
