Under the anxious waiting of the crowd, Yi Feng finally woke up.
In an instant, the courtyard was packed to the brim.
"Please, Senior, give us so guidance," Zeng Xian led the group in bowing respectfully and said.
???
Still groggy from his nap, Yi Feng, holding a red letter in his hand, listened to Zeng Xian and the others' account, looking utterly baffled.
What?
What is going on here?
He just took an afternoon nap, and now a bunch of people are telling him the world is going to end?
And they want him to give them advice?
What kind of advice could he possibly give when he himself is panicking?
However, looking at the expectant faces of Zeng Xian and the others, Yi Feng rembered that he was supposed to be a senior in their eyes.
After all, he's a Golden Immortal level 60 , right?
It's normal for these little chickens to co to him for advice.
"Um..."
"About this matter..."
Yi Feng comforted everyone, saying, "You don't need to worry so much."
"In chaotic tis, heroes naturally erge."
With a wave of his hand, Yi Feng launched into a random spiel.
After all, an old saying goes, heroes rise in turbulent tis, right?
In the ancient tis of his previous life, there were countless chaotic eras, and there were always those who could uphold the heavens.
Although he knew it might not be entirely applicable in this fantasy world, right now, he was just improvising and blabbering...
"Senior, do you an that soone will co to save the world?"
Zeng Xian and the others' faces lit up with excitent.
"Yeah, that's right, soone will."
Yi Feng elaborated with a serious expression, he could only use this to pacify the crowd.
"So you don't need to think so much. Just follow the higher-ups' call, use your sect's strength, eliminate demons when needed, and stay ready when required."
Yi Feng said.
"Yes."
"We understand."
"Thank you, Senior, for revealing the heavenly secrets. We take our leave."
Seeing Shi Qingwu standing at the door without entering, everyone tactfully left.
The senior had already revealed to them the heavenly secrets, so they couldn't possibly disturb the couple's private ti, right?
After Zeng Xian and the others left, Shi Qingwu hesitated at the doorway.
She had no idea how to face Yi Feng, this peerless expert.
But Yi Feng spotted her at once.
"Oh! Shi Sect Master, you've finally co out of your closed-door ditation."
Yi Feng said with a face full of surprise.
"Shi Qingwu pays her respects to Senior."
Shi Qingwu hurriedly bowed, lowering her head. Knowing Yi Feng's strength, she definitely couldn't interact with him as she did before.
"I was really unaware of Senior's abilities, so I... I hope Senior forgives ..."
"Shi Sect Master, there's no need to be so formal. What senior, what senior, it's just ." Yi Feng said with a smile, rubbing his hands together.
"Thank you, Senior."
Shi Qingwu lowered her head, sneaking glances at Yi Feng's face, sowhat entranced.
Truth be told, this was her first ti really observing Yi Feng.
As she looked closely now, she found that Yi Feng had an ethereal air about him, with every movent seeming to transcend the world. With his already high-scoring looks and this deanor, it was hard not to be attracted to him.
Especially with Yi Feng revealing his strength and still maintaining his unpretentious, approachable attitude, it was even more touching.
She regretted not noticing it earlier.
After all, with Yi Feng's otherworldly appearance, she should have realized he wasn't ordinary.
At the sa ti, she was extrely grateful to Yi Feng.
This past year, she had been really, really tired.
Tired of the sect's internal strife.
Because she was ultimately just a woman, and to soone like the Grand Elder, she was just a junior. Although she had risen to the position of sect master through her strength and tactics, she didn't have soone she could trust in the entire sect.
If not for Yi Feng, she might still be mired in the sect master's power struggle, let alone having a united front like now.
Even the Second and Third Elders, who had been troublemakers, treated her with respect. That would've been impossible before.
"Thank you, Senior, for resolving the sect's internal strife."
Thinking of this, Shi Qingwu thanked him again.
"You're welco, you're welco, no need to thank ."
Yi Feng quickly replied.
Then, the atmosphere fell into an awkward silence.
Shi Qingwu glanced at Yi Feng, and after finishing her thanks, she didn't know what else to say to him. What if she spoke too much and upset him?
Although outwardly, they were seen as an engaged couple, she clearly knew there was nothing between them. Yi Feng probably didn't even take a fancy to her.
Yi Feng, too, was rolling his eyes, occasionally sneaking a peek at Shi Qingwu.
This woman...
Still not paying up?
Should he ask for the money?
Seems a bit awkward, though. She hasn't said she won't pay.
So, maybe he should wait for her to bring it up herself.
In this awkward atmosphere, Shi Qingwu sat on pins and needles.
But when she noticed Yi Feng's occasional glances, her fair cheeks couldn't help but flush red, and she lowered her head even more.
Could it be...
Does he...
Otherwise, why would soone like him, a great expert, simply co here for fun and happen to find her?
Thinking of this, Shi Qingwu's heart began to flutter.
In front of others, she might be a dignified and cold sect master, but in front of Yi Feng, this great expert, she had turned into a flustered little girl.
So what...
What should she do?
What choice should she make?
Unable to help herself, she glanced at Yi Feng again.
Very pleasant.
Very handso.
If he took a liking to her, it would be her fortune, wouldn't it...
So let's see what he says.
Shi Qingwu lowered her head, not saying a word the entire ti, waiting for Yi Feng's next move.
"Huh?"
Yi Feng frowned.
This woman, waiting for her so long, still not bringing up the money?
Should he ask her for it?
That's a whopping 300,000 yuan!
But...
She is, after all, the sect master, so she shouldn't be short of money. Asking her for it right after she ca out of her closed-door diation, maybe not so good. Let's just let it go.
The two were lost in their thoughts, staring at each other.
Waiting for a long, long ti, neither of them spoke...
Until Shi Qingwu's beautiful eyes dimd.
Perhaps I was thinking too much.
Otherwise, why wouldn't he speak?
And in his eyes, I'm just the sect master of a small sect. The so-called engagent was just a deal, so how could he possibly take a fancy to ?
Shi Qingwu let out a bitter smile.
And he not saying anything all this ti probably ans he just wants to leave on my own.
Yet here I am, thinking so much about it.
Thinking of this, Shi Qingwu's ears turned red, wishing she could find a crack to burrow into.
"Sen...Senior, I'll take my leave first."
Shi Qingwu just wanted to escape quickly.
After saying that, she turned and walked out, her head lowered, fleeing in embarrassnt.
But as soon as she reached the door, Yi Feng's voice ca.
"Sect Master Shi, wait."
"Senior, is there anything else?"
"Uh."
Yi Feng rubbed his forehead, lanting that he couldn't get the money this ti, so he reminded her in an ambiguous way: "What I'm trying to say is, Sect Master Shi, when will you visit next?"

"Visit you?"
Shi Qingwu was puzzled, and also astonished.
What does he an by that?
"Uh, ha-ha, I an, Sect Master Shi is busy with a thousand tasks. It's no big deal if you're not here, but don't forget that there's still here in this courtyard. And don't get so caught up in your work that you lose your way. Make sure to drop by here often..."
Yi Feng rubbed his nose, hinting with a aningful tone.
