Until it was dark, the waiter finally brought dinner for Ye Feng. The meal was simple, but Ye Feng did not mind. In fact, he had low material demands, especially now; his desire for strength far outweighed any material pursuits!
Looking at the pitch-black sky, Ye Feng felt a twinge of melancholy.
He thought about how he had been here for some time, yet he had no plans for what to do in the future. Upon reflection, he realized that for him, the most important thing was to work hard to improve his cultivation and protect those he needed to protect.
While he was lost in thought, Ning Ruoxue approached him with a cold expression and said, "Why are you living here?"
Ye Feng did not turn his head and replied lightly, "I'm not like you, a young lady. For me, any place that is livable is enough. Besides, I don't want to owe anyone a favor, so it's best if you don't ask such questions."
Ning Ruoxue glared at him and said discontentedly, "Is that the reason? You don't want to owe favors? Do you think I want to owe anything? If you were happy living here, why didn't you say so earlier? I wasted all that time smiling at that guy because of you. Are you trying to make a fool of me?"
Ye Feng stood up and brushed off his clothes before saying, "It's not as complicated as you think. What could I say if they asked me? Those three are disciples of Flowing Cloud Villa; they are probably here for the Nine Sects Trial as well. It wouldn't be a bad thing for you to interact with them. So, did you notice their strength?"
Ning Ruoxue frowned and asked, "How do you know that?"
"I originally didn't know," Ye Feng said casually as he picked up a straw and put it in his mouth. "But after thinking about it just now, I figured it out. You wouldn't need to investigate those three; the strongest among them is Tie Lin, who is at the eighth level of Origin Martial Realm. The other two are not impressive; I estimate they aren't the main force."
Ning Ruoxue was shocked and realized that this man in front of her seemed to have a cultivation level she couldn't see through—could it be higher than hers?
But why hadn't her master mentioned having such a disciple? She remembered she was Bai Chengfeng's first disciple.
The only recent addition was Ye Feng; could he be Ye Feng?
But thinking about it, that seemed impossible. Although Ye Feng's strength had improved quickly—she had seen that on the Training Ground—he was probably only at the fourth or fifth level of Origin Martial Realm. There was no way he could be stronger than the person in front of her.
"What level is your cultivation?" Ning Ruoxue asked quietly after calming down.
Ye Feng spat out the straw in his mouth, clapped his hands, and said, "Well, you can guess for yourself. But Ning Ruoxue, let me tell you, don’t always wear that expression. Aren't you tired of it? You may think you’re noble, but others are not much lower than you. Everyone has their pride, even the lowest of people; their future achievements are uncertain. Of course, you can think I'm just being crazy today and talking too much; you don’t have to take it to heart."
To Ye Feng's surprise, Ning Ruoxue didn’t get angry. Instead, she smiled sweetly, touched her hair, and said, "You’re quite strange. Others never say these things to me; you’re the first. Of course, I will listen to some of what you say. However, I must tell you that I’m not as you perceive me; perhaps your understanding of me is quite off."
Ye Feng fell silent for a moment and said, "You're the one who misunderstands me. Forget it; some things are better left unsaid!"
The two stood there without speaking. At that moment, the night sky was filled with stars. Ye Feng instinctively sat down and stared intently at the sky, just like he did in his past life.
Ning Ruoxue surprisingly sat beside him, following his gaze into the sky. Then she laughed and said, "Why do you look like a little girl? Do you really have such sentiments?"
Looking at the starry sky, Ye Feng suddenly felt a wave of sadness and whispered, "You don’t know my experiences. When I was very young, I was an orphan. The place I came from was far more complicated than this one. For you, perhaps being born means being a treasured jewel in your parents' hands; but for me? Ha ha, I was born into endless slaughter. Every night was my greatest fear; I dreaded closing my eyes because I feared my enemies would kill me. So every night I would look at the sky like a child counting stars until I was too exhausted to stay awake and would climb a tree to sleep. Can you imagine that I killed my first person at seven years old? Ha ha, I bet you can’t even fathom it."
Ning Ruoxue fell silent. Indeed, she had never experienced such a life; at seven years old, she was still the cherished jewel in her parents' hands.
"Do you hate Ye Feng?" Suddenly, Ye Feng turned his head and asked Ning Ruoxue.
Ning Ruoxue felt uncomfortable under his gaze and turned away to ask, "Why do you say that? Are you very familiar with him?"
Very familiar—ha ha—more familiar than anyone else!
"Actually, it’s not so much hate as it is some disgust. But now that he is already Master’s disciple, he is also my junior brother. The past is behind us. Besides, he is growing stronger very quickly; in a few years, he might surpass me. Such a person is not someone I want to provoke; as long as he doesn’t come after me, that’s fine."
Ye Feng nodded and smiled as he said, "He joined White Tiger Hall and fell out with Master; how can you still call him Master’s disciple?"
Ning Ruoxue sighed and said, "Well, how should I put it? I just feel something is off here. A person as shrewd as Master wouldn’t fail to see through people. I hope my intuition is wrong!"
Ye Feng smiled and then said, "Do you know who I am? I am Ye Feng!"
In an instant, it felt as if time had stopped. Ning Ruoxue suddenly stood up, staring intently at Ye Feng, completely stunned.
"You? You are Ye Feng? What kind of joke is this? Do you think I haven't seen Ye Feng before?" Ning Ruoxue exclaimed loudly.
"I really am Ye Feng. Forget it if you don't believe me. You guessed correctly; I entered White Tiger Hall because my master allowed me to. Actually, it’s nothing much. Ning Ruoxue, I haven't held any grudges against you. If you truly feel as you just said, we should be able to put our past differences aside."
Ning Ruoxue hesitated for a moment and asked, "Why are you telling me this?"
Ye Feng looked at her seriously and said, "Because I'm about to do something, so I wanted to clarify my identity. If you want to join me, then come along; if not, just go back to your room."
"What are you going to do?"
Ye Feng stretched lazily and replied slowly, "Kill someone!"
He was indeed going to kill someone. The targets were not just anyone but Tie Lin and his two companions. These three were disciples of Flowing Cloud Villa. Although the other two were not the main force like Tie Lin, they still posed a threat. In the Nine Sects Trial, it's better to eliminate any potential threats.
Among the Nine Sects, he was not worried about anyone else except Fengyu Academy and Flowing Cloud Villa!
Ning Ruoxue, being a sharp-minded person, quickly reacted. She grabbed Ye Feng's arm and shouted, "Are you crazy? Killing someone here? Can you guarantee that it will only be those three? What if there are others? If Flowing Cloud Villa finds out, our master won't be able to protect us!"
Ye Feng stopped and turned around to say, "Why are you so timid? What are you afraid of? Whether our master can protect us is not something you can decide. Ning Ruoxue, there are many things you don't know, and they are far more complicated than you think. Right now, you have two choices: either follow me or go back to your room."
After saying that, he ignored Ning Ruoxue's objections and walked forward.
At this moment, Tie Lin and the other two were in a room, seemingly discussing something.
"Big Brother, that girl is quite good-looking. Since you like her, why not take her tonight?" A pockmarked man was speaking to Tie Lin.
This guy's name was Jia Xinglong, a schemer with a lot of bad ideas. Most of the outrageous things Tie Lin had done at Flowing Cloud Villa were suggested by him. Moreover, he was notorious for his lecherous behavior, having taken the first time from many women through unscrupulous means.
"Heh heh, what are you thinking? Let me tell you, I do like that girl, but I still want to pursue her properly. It's rare for me to meet someone I have feelings for, so don't encourage me to do those things," Tie Lin replied with a smile.
Whether he was speaking from the heart or not, only he knew.
Jia Xinglong looked at him disdainfully and said unhappily, "Come on, Big Brother, I know you well enough. You don't have those thoughts in your mind? What feelings? She's pretty, but she's a disciple of Dragon Tiger Sect. How can you be open about being with her? If you ask me, it's better to just go for it!"
Tie Lin fell silent for a long time before slowly saying, "You noticed too; she's not that easy to handle. I'm worried that before I even get her into bed, we'll end up fighting. Ning Ruoxue's strength is at least on par with mine; I don't want to end up losing more than I gain!"
Jia Xinglong sneered a few times: "On this trip, I brought something good. Once she takes it, she'll come looking for you. Brother, this is a medicine I've treasured for a long time; it would be a shame if you didn't use it."
"Oh? Are you serious? Why have you kept such a good thing to yourself? Show it to me!" Tie Lin immediately became excited and restless upon hearing this.
Jia Xinglong chuckled and quickly took out a green bottle from his pocket. Inside the bottle was a transparent liquid that was clearly something special.
