The next day, after Cang Kun and Blue Whale exited their retreat, Chen Fei and the others headed towards the Duanmu Mansion.
Duanmu Mansion, one of the renowned 'forbidden territories' of Azure Dragon Ravine, is a place where no one dares to approach without the mansion's approval, fearing trouble.
Such behavior amounts to setting oneself up as king, incredibly overbearing! However, this Duanmu Mansion indeed has the capital to be overbearing.
Because the owner of this Duanmu Mansion is none other than the First Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishnt True Person Realm Expert! Elder Duanmu.
That is Foundation Establishnt True Person Realm! Just these few words are enough to say it all.
When Chen Fei and the others arrived at Duanmu Mansion, their field of vision was imdiately filled with a luxurious, grand earth-yellow building, appearing before their eyes.
Teams of soldiers clad in iron armor, with stern faces and imposing montum, surrounded Duanmu Mansion, creating an atmosphere that discouraged strangers from approaching. The air was filled with a chilling sharpness.
As Chen Fei and his group approached Duanmu Mansion, people directly stopped them, preparing to interrogate them.
However, afterwards, soone among them seed to recognize Quann Zhenyi, which led to them being allowed through and brought into Duanmu Mansion. It was a place of beautiful scenery with bridges over flowing water, courtyards, and pavilions.
In the ancient-style pavilion, a middle-aged man in his forties with an arrogant look was lazily lying between two graceful young ladies in palace attire, holding one on each side rather unruly.
Upon seeing the appearance of Chen Fei and the others, his eyes flickered, brows slightly furrowed, then casually spoke to the armor-clad man who brought them in, saying: "Captain Zhou, who are they? Our Duanmu Mansion is not sowhere just anyone can enter casually, don't you know that?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Fei's eyes flashed with a trace of cold light. Cang Kun and Blue Whale... the latter's face sank directly, snorted disdainfully.
Although the arrogant-looking middle-aged man's strength seed not weak, at the Peak of Qi Refining Ninth Layer, in Blue Whale's eyes, what was he worth!?
"Hmm?" As if hearing Blue Whale's disdainful snort, the arrogant-looking man's face darkened, eyes cold, stood up, gazed at Blue Whale, coldly said: "It seems you are sowhat dissatisfied? Dare to use such a tone when speaking to , Zhong Zhengming!?"
Who is Zhong Zhengming? He is genuinely a Peak Powerhouse of Qi Refining Ninth Layer, and more importantly, he is the Chief Steward of Duanmu Mansion, Elder Duanmu's representative!
So, who dares usually speak to him like this?
Yet, now Blue Whale dared to stand against him, snort? Humph! What is this!?
Upon hearing this, Blue Whale's large gray-blue eyes twitched, a color of coldness spread within them. The atmosphere instantly beca sowhat heavy.
Chen Fei and Cang Kun's eyes also narrowed slightly. Quann Zhenyi looked sowhat panic-stricken.
Although he knew Blue Whale's identity as the Second Island Master of Canglan Island, the problem was, this was not Canglan Island, but Elder Duanmu's Duanmu Mansion.
If things got out of hand here, and in soone else's territory, wouldn't it be trouble!?
"Chief Steward Zhong, these few are the ones the master ntioned wanting to see previously." The armor-clad man referred to as Captain Zhou quickly spoke.
"Oh?" Zhong Zhengming's eyes flickered, a playful look appeared on his face, looked towards Blue Whale again, then glanced at Quann Zhenyi, casually said: "I rember you. Is he the one Elder Duanmu wants to see?"
As Elder Duanmu's confidant, he was naturally aware of how much Elder Duanmu valued this matter, not to ntion that this matter involved two other Foundation Establishnt True Person Realm Experts, so even he, Zhong Zhengming, did not dare to overlook it.
"No, no… Chief Steward Zhong, let introduce, these two are Canglan Island's Grand Island Master, Island Master Cang Kun, Second Island Master, Blue Whale Island Master..." Quann Zhenyi had not yet finished speaking when Zhong Zhengming interrupted him.
"You are Cang Kun and Blue Whale from Canglan Island?" Zhong Zhengming looked at the indifferent faces of Cang Kun and Blue Whale, sowhat surprised.
Evidently, although he had not t them, he had heard of their impressive deeds and reputation!
Being able to give their nas before a Foundation Establishnt True Person Realm Expert, if it were Zhong Zhengming, he certainly could not achieve that!
Cang Kun and Blue Whale ignored him. Quann Zhenyi then found an opportunity to speak again, politely pointed to Chen Fei, said to Zhong Zhengming: "Chief Steward Zhong, this is the one Elder Duanmu wants to et. Chen Fei, Young Master Chen."
"Him?" Zhong Zhengming was taken aback, looked at Chen Fei, his face gradually showed an absurd and ridiculing expression.
Had Quann Zhenyi not spoken now, he would have thought Chen Fei was just a follower!
"Master Chen Fei? I am Zhong Zhengming, Chief Steward of Duanmu Mansion... I wonder which Grandmaster you studied under?" Zhong Zhengming looked at Chen Fei, asked?
"Which Grandmaster's disciple? Sorry, I am self-taught." Chen Fei heard the disdain and contempt in the other's words, casually replied.
Indeed, he was self-taught, only with an extra inherited mory compared to others!
Furthermore, if he proclaid his master's na, would the other recognize it?
"Self-taught? Are you kidding? It's simply nonsense!" As expected, upon hearing Chen Fei's 'self-declaration', the contempt and ridicule on Zhong Zhengming's face intensified. He looked at Chen Fei, his expression unfriendly, scolded.
Knowing the status of Elder Duanmu? The problem he wished an Alchemist to solve was extrely special, even many renowned Alchemists of Eagle Gorge had no clue about it.
Helplessly, Elder Duanmu could only try anything in desperation and choose to believe this Quann Zhenyi who recomnded himself!
But even so, you want him to believe that Chen Fei, such a young brat, is actually the incredibly powerful Alchemy Master that Quann Zhenyi spoke of? How is that possible!?
Thinking of this, the expression on Zhong Zhengming's face beca even more malevolent and mocking, as he looked at Quann Zhenyi and Chen Fei, he said indifferently: "You should have told Elder Duanmu long ago, people like you... Sigh, such bad luck."
"What do you an by that?" Chen Fei's eyes flashed, his voice becoming sowhat cold.
"What do I an?" Zhong Zhengming raised his voice, looking at Chen Fei as if it were the most ridiculous thing in the world, exaggeratedly and disdainfully said: "Boy, what do you think an Alchemist is? You trash dare to deceive our Elder Duanmu, are you an Alchemist? Isn't this too naive? Or do you think everyone in the Duanmu Mansion is stupid?"
Upon hearing this, the crowd's expressions shifted yet again. Chen Fei's face turned a shade darker.
"Your na is Zhong Zhengming, right?" At this mont, Cang Kun slowly spoke.
"Hmm?" Zhong Zhengming squinted his eyes at Cang Kun, speaking with so sternness: "Yes, I'm Zhong Zhengming. Island Master Cang Kun, what advice do you have?"
"I wouldn't dare to advise. But..." Cang Kun paused briefly, glanced at him, his voice chilling slightly: "I'm just reminding you, watch your mouth, or face the consequences!"
"What did you say?" Zhong Zhengming's pupils contracted, looking at Cang Kun, his eyes flickering slightly, coldly said: "You're threatening !?"
"You can think of it that way." Cang Kun said indifferently.
"Do you know where this place is? This is Elder Duanmu's Duanmu Mansion!" Zhong Zhengming pointed to the ground beneath him.
"So what?" Cang Kun glanced at him indifferently, saying: "Do you plan to hide in this Duanmu Mansion for your whole life?"
"Cang Kun, why bother talking so much nonsense to him? He dares to disrespect the master, I've rembered you. In the future, when the mountains change and waters move, we'll see." Blue Whale grinned, showing a chilling intent to kill.
"You, you all..." Zhong Zhengming was directly frightened by the naked killing intent in Blue Whale's words, his face darkened, extrely ugly, panic-stricken, so much so that he didn't even react to the word master in Blue Whale's words.
"Hiss!"
Quann Zhenyi clearly heard Blue Whale's word master, it directly shocked him into being dumbfounded! The shock in his heart was indescribable.
Originally, he thought that Chen Fei and the two island masters of Canglan Island were friends, which is why they accompanied him to the Duanmu Mansion, but now, now, this... Blue, Blue Whale Island Lord actually called Master Chen master!?
This, damn it, could it be that the two of them are actually servants of Chen Fei, Young Master Chen?
Even if they were followers, they wouldn't necessarily call him master, right?
"You, you, good, very good..." Zhong Zhengming, with eyes spitting fire, glared at Cang Kun and Blue Whale, but didn't dare continue to be presumptuous, flung his hand, pointed at Chen Fei's nose, coldly humd, disdainfully said.
"Even if he's an Alchemist, do you think there can be an incredibly powerful Alchemy Master at such a young age?" Zhong Zhengming's face was extrely mocking.
"What's it to you?"
But at this mont, Chen Fei spoke a bit impatiently: "Chief Steward Zhong, is it? Don't you have a bit of confusion about your identity? You seem to be just a steward, right?"
"You!" Zhong Zhengming was choked, his face flushed, feeling humiliated, pointed at Chen Fei's nose coldly said: "Now, please leave our Duanmu Mansion. Our Duanmu Mansion does not welco you."
"Are you sure?" Chen Fei sneered mockingly, saying: "Are you sure you can make decisions on behalf of Elder Duanmu? If you can ensure that, I'll turn around and leave right now without saying another useless word."
"So people truly don't understand their identity. Think they're so impressive, right?" Chen Fei shook his head, said indifferently.
"You, you, you..." Zhong Zhengming was directly humiliated by Chen Fei's words, eyes spitting fire, face ferocious, his heart felt like it was about to explode!
What identity and status does Zhong Zhengming have? He is the Chief Steward, under one person but above thousands in the Duanmu Mansion, a Peak Powerhouse of Qi Refining Ninth Layer! But now?
But now Chen Fei actually dared to humiliate him like this, saying he doesn't understand his identity!?
Simply outrageous!
"Chief Steward Zhong..." Captain Zhou couldn't help but interject. Regarding Chen Fei, he was very aware of how much Elder Duanmu emphasizes it!
If Zhong Zhengming sses this up, it could be trouble.
"Shut up!"
Zhong Zhengming was even more infuriated after Captain Zhou spoke.
His face turning blue and white, pointing at Chen Fei with a twisted expression and shouted: "Boy, don't you understand what I'm saying? Elder Duanmu is not available now, co back another day."
