The great battle is imminent, and Ling Feng didn’t waste much ti. After chatting with Yan Cangtian about his promotion to the Origin Transformation Realm and breaking through the Hundred ridian Limit, he bid farewell to Yan Cangtian and went directly to find Yue Yunlan.
anwhile, he asked Tuoba Yan to inform the Sword Team brothers that he might not be able to join them for the final training today, but perhaps he could bring back so good news.
Tuoba Yan can now temporarily leave Ling Feng’s side, so this ssaging task naturally fell to her. However, knowing that Ling Feng was going alone to find Yue Yunlan, Tuoba Yan couldn’t help but feel uneasy.
Though she was sowhat insensitive in matters of the heart, she vaguely understood that this might be what people call "jealousy."
Unfortunately, Ling Feng completely failed to notice Tuoba Yan’s feelings, only aware that she gave him a fierce look as she left.
"What did I do to provoke her?"
Ling Feng rolled his eyes and, without thinking much, skillfully made his way to Yue Yunlan’s independent manor.
He hoped that Yue Yunlan would still be in her manor at this ti; otherwise, he would have to go directly to the Cangqiong Sect to find Wen Tingguang.
Given his relationship with Wen Tingguang, it probably wouldn’t be too much trouble.
Soon, Ling Feng arrived outside the "Chuyun Pavilion" where Yue Yunlan lived. Every A-class Disciple had their own independent pavilion, and given Yue Yunlan’s special status, her residence was naturally extraordinary, almost treated the sa as those regular Nine-star Tutors.
He gently knocked on the door and soon heard a lazy voice from inside.
"Who is it?"
The door opened, and Qiaoqiao appeared rubbing her sleepy eyes, seemingly just waking up.
"Miss Qiaoqiao, it’s ." Ling Feng greeted her with a hand salute, seeing that Qiaoqiao hadn’t left, it seed Yue Yunlan was also inside.
"Ling Feng!" Qiaoqiao blinked, suddenly wide awake, "Haha, it’s you, this big... uh-oh."
Recalling Yue Yunlan’s repeated warnings, Qiaoqiao swallowed the nicknas like "fool" and "dummy," and chuckled, "Young Master Ling, how co you have the ti to visit our Miss today?"
Saying this, she glanced carefully behind Ling Feng, muttering, "Hmm, where is that maid of yours? You two are usually inseparable."
"Uh..."
Ling Feng showed a slightly awkward smile. Due to the Red Dust Heart Devouring Gu, for the better part of the past six months, he had truly been inseparable from Tuoba Yan. But the matter of the Red Dust Heart Devouring Gu wasn’t sothing that could be casually spoken about.
Just as Ling Feng was pondering how to handle this little girl’s questions, Yue Yunlan’s voice ca from inside, "Young Master Ling, you’re here."
Ling Feng looked over, seeing Yue Yunlan coming gracefully from inside, dressed in a white robe as pure as new snow, moving with Lotus Steps, like a lotus out of this world, erging from the mud but remaining unstained.
Having not seen each other for a long ti, Yue Yunlan’s temperant was more transcendent and elegant.
Even Ling Feng was slightly dazed but quickly recovered, hurriedly saluting Yue Yunlan, saying calmly, "Miss Yue."
Yue Yunlan cast a sowhat reproachful glance at Ling Feng, gritting her teeth, "Young Master Ling, when there’s no one else around, just call Yunlan."
"Hehe..." Ling Feng touched his nose, smiling, "Alright, Yunlan."
He looked at Yue Yunlan thoroughly, smiling as he asked, "Your cultivation has improved significantly."
"Yes, because my mother said I was already eighteen, she helped awaken the Red Lotus Sacred Body."
A trace of shy pride appeared on Yue Yunlan’s face. In front of Ling Feng, she did not conceal anything.
"The Red Lotus Sacred Body, huh." Ling Feng nodded with a smile, "Congratulations, indeed. A Sacred Body is a talent that countless Martial Artists dream of having."
When he went to the Cangqiong Sect to treat Yue Zhonglian’s injuries, he had glimpsed the Sect Master’s Wife a few tis. Although she hadn’t shown her strength, Ling Feng could faintly feel her imnse power.
Perhaps her strength might not even differ much from Yue Zhonglian’s.
Now, from the aura surrounding Yue Yunlan, it indeed seems to inherit the sa lineage as the Sect Master’s Wife.
"Let’s not talk about that." Yue Yunlan bit her delicate lip, "Young Master Ling, you must have sothing important this ti, right? Hehe, you never co to the Qingji Pavilion without a reason."
"..."
Ling Feng let out an awkward laugh, scratching the back of his head. Every ti he sought her out, it was indeed to ask for her help.
"It’s rather shaful." Ling Feng said with a bitter smile, "Indeed, there is sothing I urgently need your help with."
"Hmph! You really are a thick-headed fellow. Maybe say sothing nice to our lady first!"
Qiaoqiao said, putting her hands on her hips, shooting Ling Feng a reproachful look.
"Qiaoqiao, don’t be rude." Yue Yunlan shook her head at her, then looked at Ling Feng, lightly biting her lip, "Young Master Ling, you’ve helped many tis, and even saved on several occasions. Don’t say just one matter; even if it’s ten or eight, Yunlan will do her utmost."
"It’s not that many things." Ling Feng took a deep breath and quickly explained his purpose.
"You an you need to consult so ancient records about the Ancient Imperial Gate in our Cangqiong Sect’s Qingji Pavilion?"
Yue Yunlan furrowed her delicate brows, showing a slight sign of distress.
"Is it difficult?" Ling Feng asked in a low tone.
"Not exactly," Yue Yunlan shook her head and said slowly, "It’s just that to enter the Qingji Pavilion, you’ll need my father’s permission. I’ll take you to my father."
"Alright, thank you, Yunlan." Ling Feng showed a hint of excitent on his face.
"It’s nothing, Young Master Ling. Ti is pressing, let’s head there now." Yue Yunlan smiled slightly. "I hope this ti we can get good news, so your East Courtyard Sword Team will have a better chance against the Royal Sword Team."
"Hmm, let’s hope so." Ling Feng responded with a heartfelt smile, always feeling at ease around a noble character like Yue Yunlan.
"It’s not just , all of us in the Sword Team hope you can make our Heavenly Position Academy proud. And also..."
Yue Yunlan bit her silver teeth, gazing deeply at Ling Feng, "Young Master Ling, I know about your bet with Yaan Jinghong, so, no matter what, you must win! Because Yunlan doesn’t want to lose you as a... good friend."
"I will win for sure." Ling Feng nodded heavily, feeling touched by the deep emotion in Yue Yunlan’s gaze, yet quickly looked away.
He sensed Yue Yunlan’s feelings for him more or less, but, at this point of his life, the only thing he felt worthy of pursuing was strength!
Strength so powerful it could crush all the gods in the heavens!
Sensing Ling Feng’s aversion, Yue Yunlan felt a bitter twinge in her heart. She smiled and said softly, "Young Master Ling, let’s head out."
"Alright."
Ling Feng took a deep breath and followed in Yue Yunlan’s footsteps.
