Chapter 544: Not Much to Look At, But Full of Grand Ideas
Jun Yunshang let out a small sigh, feeling somewhat helpless.
As Young Master Ye had said, when you are in a high position, every move you make must be carefully considered.
She had already taken the wrong first step.
By coming to see him and revealing herself in front of Zhou Yuanhua, she had undoubtedly alerted the Heavenly Fiend Hall!
Even if she killed Zhou Yuanhua, it wouldn’t erase the fact that she had been here.
Since she had already shown interest, Jun Wuxie would definitely be targeted by the Heavenly Fiend Hall.
The first step had been a misstep due to lack of information, but fortunately, her opponents were also in the dark.
Given that this matter concerned the survival of both herself and the Junyan Empire, she had to proceed with extreme caution from now on.
One wrong move and the entire game would be lost.
Jun Yunshang wasn’t sure what identity she should use to interact with Lin Fengmian, or how she could safely pluck the chestnut from the fire.
She needed to confirm whether or not he was truly the reincarnation of Ye Xuefeng. If he was, how could she ensure that he didn’t fall into the hands of Heavenly Fiend Hall?
After a flurry of thoughts, Jun Yunshang sighed.
“Forget it, I’ll play along with their scheme.”
After all, the greatest threat to him had already been dealt with by her. She would return to Junlin and wait for him to come seeking an audience with her.
Since the Heavenly Fiend Hall wanted to use him to deceive her, they would naturally deliver him safely to her. She just had to wait.
After waiting for over 800 years, a few more days wouldn’t make much difference.
Besides, there was no guarantee that he was actually Ye Xuefeng’s reincarnation!
“Hmph, even if he is Ye Xuefeng’s reincarnation, why should I go running to see that heartless man?”
She had waited for hundreds of years, and she was no longer the obedient Jun Yunshang of the past!
If he was Ye Xuefeng, fine, but a reincarnation with no memories of his past life? Did he really expect her, the illustrious Empress Fengyao, to fawn over him?
“Little Ye, you’d better come to Junlin and pay your respects to this emperor!”
With this thought, Jun Yunshang no longer hesitated. She quickly erased all traces of her presence and left, rushing back to the VIP seats at the square.
She couldn’t afford to delay. She couldn’t let the Heavenly Fiend Hall discover that she had been to the cave dwelling.
If they realized their plan had been exposed, that boy would be doomed!
She needed to immediately find someone from the Heavenly Fiend Hall to help her establish an alibi and cover her tracks during this period.
Thus, the unfortunate Zhou Yuanhua became Jun Yunshang’s target.
She would pretend that she hadn’t left, call him over, and use her saintly aura to intimidate the old man.
He would probably feel like every second was an eternity.
Meanwhile, Lin Fengmian was unaware that the Jun Yunshang he had been longing for had quietly come and gone.
At this moment, he hurriedly arrived at the Shanhai residence where the disciples of the Heavenly Grace King’s palace were staying, intending to find Ye Yingying.
When the disciples inside saw Lin Fengmian enter with Elder Ming and You Yao, their expressions changed.
Some mistakenly thought that he had come to force Chen Qingyan to fulfill their bet and tentatively asked, “Junior Brother Jun, are you here to see Senior Sister Chen?”
The bet between Lin Fengmian and Chen Qingyan had been made in public, and nearly everyone knew about it.
This lecherous scoundrel might have some skill, but his character was as despicable as ever.
Even a day hadn’t passed before he came rushing over to put pressure on Senior Sister Chen?
Upon hearing the news, the female disciples quickly ran to Chen Qingyan’s room to inform her.
Meanwhile, the other disciples gathered around Lin Fengmian, blathering on and on, trying to buy time.
“Junior brother Jun, you really are a late bloomer! Hahaha!”
“That’s right, Junior Brother’s power display was awe-inspiring. Could you share some insights with us?”
…
Faced with these Heavenly Fiend Hall disciples deliberately blocking his path, Lin Fengmian couldn’t be bothered to explain. He simply sneered, “Am I close to you? Move aside!”
The disciples were stunned by his words, their faces flushing with embarrassment.
Lin Fengmian impatiently pushed through the crowd, but was stopped by the pale Luo Jinfeng.
On the other side, the female disciples hurriedly knocked on Chen Qingyan’s door.
“Senior Sister Chen, Senior Sister, it’s bad! That lecher Jun Wuxie is here!”
Chen Qingyan opened the door, but her expression wasn’t one of panic or fear as they had expected.
“Jun Wuxie is here?”
The female students nodded urgently. “Yes. Everyone is holding him back in the main hall. You should hide!”
However, Chen Qingyan didn’t seem nervous. She calmly said, “It’s okay. I’ll go see him.”
The female students vehemently shook their heads. “No, Senior Sister, you should leave. We’ll tell him you’re not here!”
“Senior Sister, Jun Wuxie is a notorious lecher. You can’t walk into his trap!”
Chen Qingyan tried to step out, but the group of female disciples blocked her way, preventing her from leaving.
In the main hall, Lin Fengmian frowned. “Luo Jinfeng, what are you doing?”
Luo Jinfeng planted his longsword on the ground and resolutely declared, “As long as I’m here, you won’t take her away!”
Although he was aloof, he wasn’t without ambition.
For a beauty like Chen Qingyan, he naturally harbored feelings of admiration for her.
This was a perfect opportunity to show off, and he wasn’t about to let it slip by.
Previously, he had underestimated his opponent. If he activated his secret technique, the outcome would still be uncertain.
Lin Fengmian didn’t bother to explain. He said indifferently, “What does it matter to you if I take her away? Who do you think you are?”
Luo Jinfeng drew his sword and pointed it at Lin Fengmian, his expression cold and stern. “If you want to take her, you’ll have to step over my corpse!”
His voice was filled with determination and resolve, as if he were defending his dignity and love with his life.
Many of the female disciples looked at him with admiration, their eyes sparkling.
Lin Fengmian looked at Luo Jinfeng, smiled faintly, and clearly said, “Idiot.”
With a wave of his hand, he said, “Elder Ming, take care of him.”
Even though dealing with this guy wouldn’t take much effort, why should he waste his energy?
The Overlapping Karmic Flames might not harm the body, but who knew if there were other side effects?
A moment later, Luo Jinfeng was pinned to the ground, struggling in frustration.
“Let me go, Jun Wuxie! You coward, fight me one-on-one if you dare!”
Lin Fengmian walked up to him with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
“Luo Jinfeng, all you have is a worthless life. What makes you think you can challenge me?”
Luo Jinfeng was infuriated by his attitude and roared, “Then I’ll bet my life! If I lose, I’ll serve you like a slave!”
Lin Fengmian chuckled. “You’re not much to look at, but you sure have grand ideas. Are you trying to get yourself a cushy job?”
“With your strength, you’re not even qualified to be my guard. Maybe after another thirty years of training you could be a decent coachman.”
Initially, he had felt some goodwill towards Luo Jinfeng, who was also from the lower ranks of the cultivation world. But now that goodwill was gone.
Luo Jinfeng had talent and strength, but he was too arrogant and lacked the ability to assess situations. He wouldn’t go far.
When it was time to back down, you didn’t back down at all!
Lin Fengmian had said his piece. A Core Formation Realm cultivator with a bit of talent wasn’t worth his attention.
What use did he have for Luo Jinfeng?
By the time Luo Jinfeng could be of any use, Lin Fengmian could probably crush a hundred of his kind with a single slap.
Now, someone like Chen Qingyan-beautiful, capable, and versatile-was a different story.
“Junior Brother Jun, let him go. I’ll come with you.”
Everyone turned around to see Chen Qingyan step forward, calm and composed.
