The disciple was no longer resisting, and Lingfeng secretly felt relieved, thinking to himself that fortunately, his martial arts foundation was not lacking; otherwise, it would have been difficult to win relying solely on martial skills. Moreover, based on this disciple's abilities, there were probably very few disciples in the Demon Suppression Sect who could match him.
"Hahaha, Lingfeng, how about my disciple?" A proud laughter came from behind the two.
Hearing the voice, Lingfeng quickly got up from the disciple and brushed off his clothes, seeing Qingzhi smiling at him.
"Senior Brother, is he your disciple?" Without having time to exchange pleasantries with Qingzhi, Lingfeng asked about the disciple's information.
Qingzhi nodded and looked at the disciple with satisfaction. "Come and greet Shixu!"
The disciple struggled to get up from the ground. Hearing Qingzhi's words, he was momentarily stunned, thinking that this person in front of him seemed to be about the same age as him; how could he hold such a high position? However, despite his doubts, he respectfully bowed to Lingfeng and clasped his fists. "Disciple Zihao greets Shixu!"
Lingfeng hurried over to assist him and learned his name. He quickly said, "No need for formalities; your martial arts foundation is quite good and has great potential!"
Zihao thanked him and then returned to his original spot.
"By the way, when did you come back?" Qingzhi turned around and asked Lingfeng again.
"I just returned today; as soon as I had time, I came to see you!" Lingfeng replied with a smile.
Qingzhi laughed heartily, appreciating Lingfeng's knack for joking around, and pulled him along. "Let's go inside!"
With that, he led Lingfeng and Enchanting into the Celestial Fruit Orchard.
Upon entering the Celestial Fruit Orchard, Lingfeng was indeed taken aback. He saw that in what used to be a garden filled with countless celestial fruits, each tree now had only a few fruits left. The only exception was the Celestial Peach Tree, which still bore Immortal Peaches without much change.
"This doesn't seem like Earth Escape's style. When he left back then, I had already instructed him not to pick too many fruits; otherwise, it would be troublesome if discovered! But with such strict guardianship in the Celestial Fruit Orchard, who could steal fruits under broad daylight?" Lingfeng felt a sense of confusion rising within him.
"By the way, how is the task given to you by the Sect Leader going?" In a pavilion within the orchard, the three of them sat down, and Qingzhi asked again.
Lingfeng quickly regained his focus and replied with a smile, "It's almost done. I came back this time specifically for this matter!"
Qingzhi pondered for a moment and said with some concern, "I heard that the Demon Relic has appeared. It seems that there will soon be significant movements in the Mandala Demon Realm!"
To Lingfeng, these matters had long become clichés, so he had no interest in discussing them. Moreover, Qingzhi never inquired about the affairs of the Demon Suppression Sect, so there was no need for him to know about the Demon Relic. It wasn't that Lingfeng didn't want to tell him; it was just that the fewer people who knew about the Demon Relic, the better.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while and finding no topics to continue chatting about, Qingzhi stood up to inspect the orchard and left.
Enchanting, unable to contain her restlessness any longer, moved closer to Lingfeng as soon as Qingzhi left. She gently hugged Lingfeng and said, "With so many people around here, it's really not a good place for us to be alone together!"
Lingfeng nodded apologetically and replied, "I didn't expect so many people to be guarding the orchard. But we can just treat others like air; isn't that fine?"
Lingfeng could naturally treat others like air, but Enchanting was a girl after all. Her shy nature wouldn't be influenced by Lingfeng's words, so she lowered her head and fell silent.
"By the way, I'm going to meet someone shortly. Don't be surprised when you see him!" Lingfeng glanced into the orchard, stood up, and said to Enchanting.
Enchanting looked at Lingfeng with curiosity and asked in confusion, "Is it possible to meet outsiders in the Demon Suppression Sect? What's there to be surprised about?"
"Hehe, of course we can meet outsiders, and they're not just any ordinary outsiders!" Lingfeng smiled mysteriously. He then took Enchanting to a secluded spot where patrolling disciples wouldn't notice them and pulled out the Connecting Rod, striking it heavily against the ground.
The soil here was already quite loose, and the Connecting Rod created a deep pit without making much noise.
"Earth Escape! Lingfeng is back; come out and see me!" Lingfeng leaned over the deep pit and called out softly.
Enchanting looked at Lingfeng with confusion, not understanding what he was up to, especially regarding a deep pit.
Lingfeng pressed his ear to the ground, but aside from the frequent footsteps of patrolling disciples, there were no other sounds; Thousand-Year Ginseng Earth Escape did not appear either.
"Strange, could it not be here?" Lingfeng wondered. Logically, Earth Escape should be able to sense the tremors of the earth and hear Lingfeng's calls, so why wasn't it showing up?
"Lingfeng, what are you doing?" Enchanting asked with amusement as she watched him.
Lingfeng frowned and shook his head. He then took out the Connecting Rod and struck the ground again to create another deep pit, repeating his previous actions, but still received no response.
Feeling uneasy, Lingfeng thought, could something have happened to Earth Escape?
Looking at Enchanting, Lingfeng asked, "Dear, has the Demon Suppression Sect ever captured any outsiders or strange creatures?"
After thinking for a moment, Enchanting shook her head and replied, "I have never left the Demon Suppression Sect, nor have I ever heard of capturing any strangers or monsters!"
"Could it be that because Enchanting is here, it doesn't want to come out?" Lingfeng pondered in confusion and decided to check again at night.
"Forget it, it's nothing. I just want to see what stole the celestial fruit!" Lingfeng smiled nonchalantly at Enchanting.
Enchanting chuckled and looked closely at Lingfeng. Although she felt he had become more attentive, he also seemed a bit foolish in an endearing way.
That night, under the pretext of Cultivation, Lingfeng did not stay up late with Enchanting.
In the late hours of the night, when all was quiet, Lingfeng quietly stepped out of his room and made his way to the Celestial Fruit Orchard.
The guards at the Celestial Fruit Orchard were more stringent at night, with disciples present doubling in number.
Seeing this situation, Lingfeng found it impossible to use the Lightness Skill to enter the Celestial Fruit Orchard. After some thought, he decided to burrow underground to gain entry.
Finding a suitable spot, Lingfeng recited the Earth Escape Incantation and entered the interior of the Celestial Fruit Orchard.
Arriving at the same location as before, Lingfeng did not take out the Connecting Rod but instead struck the ground directly with his fist. Although the sensation of vibration was not as pronounced as with the Connecting Rod, if Earth Escape was present, one would definitely feel the tremor.
"Earth Escape, I'm back! If you're here, come out and see me!" Lingfeng called into the tunnel created by his punch.
However, the surroundings were eerily silent, with no sign of Earth Escape at all.
A sudden wave of unease washed over Lingfeng. He suddenly felt that something might have happened to Earth Escape.
"But his magical power is so high; what could possibly happen?" Lingfeng pondered. If someone from the Demon Suppression Sect had captured Earth Escape, that news would surely spread throughout the sect, and Enchanting would also be aware of it.
"Could it be the work of those who steal celestial fruits?" Doubt arose in Lingfeng's mind. It seemed that to find Earth Escape, he first needed to locate that thief of celestial fruits.
When Lingfeng returned to his residence, he coincidentally ran into Wan Shitong, who looked utterly exhausted as he walked back.
"Big brother, didn't Mu Feng Peak Master keep you there?" Lingfeng chuckled as he looked at Wan Shitong, relishing in his misfortune.
Upon seeing Lingfeng, Wan Shitong lowered his head and walked away without a second thought.
"Hey, big brother, don't go!" Lingfeng hurriedly stepped in front of Wan Shitong and smiled, "What's wrong? You look so tired!"
"Brother, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I really can't stay in the Demon Suppression Sect any longer. I need to pack up and leave quickly!" Wan Shitong tried to push Lingfeng away, his face filled with panic.
Lingfeng stood there like a rock, unmoving, and smiled, "Big brother, what's wrong? You can't even push me away!"
Seeing that Lingfeng had no intention of letting him go, Wan Shitong sighed in frustration and sat down helplessly, muttering, "I really don't know what I owe you in my past life. Why is it that all my misfortunes come because of you?"
"Big brother," Lingfeng said dismissively, "you've got it all wrong. For most men, this is one of the most essential things in life. Besides, Mu Feng Peak Master is National Beauty and Fragrance. You should be thanking me instead of complaining!"
Wan Shitong groaned and looked at Lingfeng with a wry smile, saying sarcastically, "Yeah, she is National Beauty and Fragrance, but I'm already at this age; I can't handle her gentle charm! Plus, I'm used to being carefree on my own. How can I stand having a woman chattering beside me?" After a pause, he lowered his voice and added, "Moreover, Mu Qiu's appearance and personality are completely opposite; I really can't bear it!" Wan Shitong's voice almost cracked as his expression grew more despondent.
Lingfeng stifled a laugh and asked with exasperation, "By the way, big brother, how did you meet Mu Feng Peak Master? How did you develop feelings for her? Why does it seem like Mu Feng Peak Master wants to eat you alive? Did you... did you owe her something?"
As soon as this topic was brought up, Wan Shitong looked as if he couldn't bear to recall it. He wished he could be born a few hundred years later so he wouldn't have to see Mu Qiu.
"What debt..." Wan Shitong chuckled bitterly a couple of times before continuing, "I owe her a karmic debt! Back when the Celestial and Demonic realms were at war, I remained neutral and didn't participate in the fighting. Instead, I hoped that when it came time for Transcend Tribulation, it would be easier for me. So I took care of the wounded on their battlefield."
In the sky above, a white crescent-shaped boat floated nearby, with twinkling stars resembling rippling waves on water, making the sky appear even more pristine.
Wan Shitong gazed into the distance, reminiscing about that time with deep emotion as he continued, "At that time, Qiu'er was just a disciple of Wood Peak. But she was different from the other disciples; although she was a girl, she loved adventure and preferred to forge ahead rather than hide behind her elders."
