Chapter 65 Awesome! Even If I Die, It's Worth It!
Seeing Zheng Xiaofeng, whose aura was in no way inferior to the Sect Master's, Yao Qin looked at Chu Xingchen, dumbfounded.
What did he say to this man? Why did he suddenly seem as if he had taken a pill?
But Yao Qin saw Chu Xingchen gently shake his head at her.
Yao Qin found it hard to believe. Did he say this himself?!
Zheng Xiaofeng stepped forward, confronting the Sect Master and said:
"What are you looking at?! Even if I'm sweeping the floor, I'm still from the Tianyan Sect. Do you dare to touch me?"
The Sect Master of the Qingfeng Sect suppressed the anger in his heart and looked at Chu Xingchen, asking: "May I ask, is this matter true or false?"
Chu Xingchen said leisurely: "It is naturally true."
"Even for the Tianyan Sect, this is not a proper way to act, is it?!" the Sect Master of the Qingfeng Sect questioned, "Our Qingfeng Sect gave your sect face. Is your conduct truly appropriate?!"
Chu Xingchen lightly dismissed the connection: "It was Elder Zheng Xiaofeng who wanted to come. It wasn't I who invited him."
The Sect Master finally could not bear it any longer and berated: "This is against the rules! I will question your Tianyan Sect elder!"
To abduct an elder from another sect to have him sweep the floor?
Are you giving our Qingfeng Sect no face at all?!
Furthermore! A mere minor elder who had just become a Golden Core dared to berate him like this!
In the past, he would have had to hold his tongue before even daring to speak to him!
Chu Xingchen sneered: "Then is it proper for you to collude with evil cultivators?!"
The Sect Master retorted: "Where is the evidence?! You want to slander our Qingfeng Sect with just baseless words?!"
Without hesitation, Chu Xingchen tossed a blood-qi spirit stone from a spatial ring.
"Good Sect Master, have you carefully checked the accounts of your Qingfeng Sect's mine?" Chu Xingchen stepped forward, sneering disdainfully, "You didn't even know you were raising a moth in your own home. If you wait until the house collapses to look for it, it will be too late."
The Sect Master was slightly stunned by these words. He looked at Chu Xingchen's confident gaze and at the spirit stone on the ground, which was filled with blood-qi.
"Do you really think the Tianyan Sect would send someone to play house with you?" Chu Xingchen said with a light smile, "Do you think I'm here to find fault? Go check on Elder Shangguan who is locked in the seclusion chamber!"
"Don't say we from the Tianyan Sect didn't give you a chance. I'm giving you a chance because I see you're unaware."
"This Elder Zheng has been verified by us. From now on, he is the Tianyan Sect's representative, here to supervise your Qingfeng Sect's self-inspection."
"My martial sister and I have received intelligence on evil cultivators and need to go verify it. It will take about three days."
Hearing this, Zheng Xiaofeng immediately looked at Chu Xingchen—Bro! When did this happen?!
Are you telling the truth or not?! If you're not here, where does your confidence come from?!
But Chu Xingchen acted as if he hadn't heard, continuing to speak:
"For these three days, you had better not let your divine sense stray from Elder Zheng in the slightest. When I return, if this Elder Zheng is gone..."
"I will have no choice but to assume that your entire Qingfeng Sect has fallen to evil cultivators and become the first target in this Central Region strike."
Hearing this, the Sect Master's tone was clearly one of disbelief: "Do you think you can threaten me? Can a true disciple of the Tianyan Sect really turn black and white?!"
Hearing this, Chu Xingchen shrugged nonchalantly and said:
"Naturally, I can. If you don't believe me, feel free to twist off this Elder Zheng's head right now to test my words."
Hearing this, Zheng Xiaofeng's heart pounded wildly! The Sect Master might be unaware, but wasn't he?
Even if the Sect Master really twisted his head off and kicked it like a ball right now, he would probably be perfectly fine.
But Chu Xingchen's voice transmission followed closely:
"Your state just now was very good. Keep it up. You're not an idiot. The more confident you are, the more he will hesitate to act!"
Hearing this, Zheng Xiaofeng almost lost his composure and sent a voice transmission: "Are you really going, or just pretending?"
The only answer he received was a brilliant smile from Chu Xingchen.
Chu Xingchen looked at Yao Qin and said: "Martial sister, the sect has urged us. Let's set off now."
Hearing this, Yao Qin stood up, preparing to leave with Chu Xingchen. But as she passed by the Sect Master, she gave him a glance with her ice-cold eyes.
Afterward, Zheng Xiaofeng and the Qingfeng Sect Master watched as the two of them flew away into the distance at high speed.
Only after their divine senses could no longer lock onto the two of them did the Sect Master turn his gaze back to Zheng Xiaofeng.
Zheng Xiaofeng took a deep breath. Damn it, it was all or nothing.
He glared angrily at the Qingfeng Sect Master and berated: "You old thief! What are you looking at! Hurry up and investigate!"
The Sect Master's large hand suddenly clenched, his gaze fierce as he stared at Zheng Xiaofeng, as if he would strike and tear off his arrogant head in the next moment!
Zheng Xiaofeng understood that he could not retreat in the slightest now. He stepped forward, walking right up to the Sect Master, a wanton smile on his face as he said:
"You've suppressed me for so many years. Calling you an old thief twice isn't too much, is it? If you have a problem, twist my head off right now!"
The Sect Master took two deep breaths. As the Sect Master, even if there was only a tiny possibility, he would not risk the entire sect.
He could only suppress his anger and say: "Elder Zheng, let us go to the seclusion chamber together!"
Seeing the Sect Master's frustrated expression, Zheng Xiaofeng didn't know why, but he felt an incomparable sense of relief.
The fear in his heart was swept away by this feeling of relief.
He sneered: "Lead the way!"
"Can't you walk by yourself?!"
"I said! Lead the way!"
The Sect Master's fists were clenched tight. After taking another deep breath, he waved his long sleeve and turned to leave.
Zheng Xiaofeng finally could not suppress his wanton, joyful smile.
Laughter continuously echoed within the side hall.
Awesome! Even if I die, it's worth it!
——————
On the outskirts of the Qingfeng Sect.
Chu Xingchen and Yao Qin both stopped their steps at the same time.
"Martial sister..." Chu Xingchen said habitually, then paused, and couldn't help but laugh, "Yao Qin, you go and cut off the path to the mine to the east. I'll block the other one."
Hearing this, Yao Qin nodded lightly in agreement, then said in a flat tone: "Martial sister sounds nice too. I'm comfortable hearing it."
Chu Xingchen said with a serious tone: "That's an extra charge!"
Hearing this, Yao Qin gave Chu Xingchen a cold glance and flew directly to the east.
"Really... no sense of humor at all." Chu Xingchen muttered, then flew directly to the south.
Chu Xingchen had studied the routes when he came. Only the east and south directions had dense forests, rugged and difficult to traverse, making it easy to conceal one's figure while moving.
This time, beating the grass to startle the snakes would surely flush out one or two small insects to poke their heads out. Compared to the other directions with open fields, these two places had a higher probability of ambushing someone.
As for why Chu Xingchen was so certain that the Qingfeng Sect Master would not make a move, it was because the Qingfeng Sect Master had a blue tagline: [Cautious and Meticulous].
When the situation was unclear, he would not act rashly.
At the very least, he would endure for three days to clarify the situation.
This was why Chu Xingchen had set the time to three days.
The next step was to intercept the little insects trying to send a message to the mine and find out just how rotten the Qingfeng Sect had become.
As for the Qingfeng Sect's self-inspection...
Chu Xengchen would be better off hoping that when he returned, Li Yingling hadn't caused any trouble for him.
