Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The sect leader’s hall was originally the place with the most people in Spirit Valley. After Meng Fei’ang’s obstruction, many disciples gathered outside the sect leader’s hall.
“Brother Zhou Yun!” Seeing many disciples gather around, Qiao’er thought that Meng Fei’ang was going to bully Zhou Yun again. Thus she quickly reached for the sword behind her.
“It’s okay. We’re outside the sect leader’s hall. Meng Fei’ang can’t do anything.” Zhou Yun held Qiao’er’s small hand to stop her. Qiao’er blushed and gently leaned against Zhou Yun.
The two of them leaned against each other like a celestial couple and looked at Meng Fei’ang, which made Meng Fei’ang’s collapsed eye sockets tremble.
“What’s going on? The person that Big Senior Brother Meng Fei’ang has been waiting for half a month is actually Zhou Yun,” one of the disciples who had been watching them said.
“The originally dignified big senior brother actually ended up in such a state. What a joke of fate!” A disciple who had just come out of seclusion looked at Meng Fei’ang with his eyes full of pity.
“Hey! You don’t know this. Ever since the secret realm incident, Meng Fei’ang has resigned from his position as Big Senior Brother. He’s now only at the ninth layer of Qi cultivation without foundation establishment.” A disciple spoke with fervor and assurance, attracting the attention of many disciples.
When he saw the other disciples look over, he puffed out his chest and said, “Originally, I followed Big Senior Brother and trusted him completely. Sign! What a pity! I didn’t expect this big senior brother to not only make a mistake in command in the secret realm and let the fruit of the spiritual beast be picked away but he was also disgusted by Eldest Senior Sister!”
This disciple continued to say, “He’s already considered a nobody in the entire Spirit Valley. Just because of one person’s evil deeds, he went from being surrounded by the crowd to an ordinary person.”
His voice was full of emotion and grief, causing many of the surrounding disciples to look pitifully at the skinny Meng Fei’ang.
The dignified eldest disciple of the inner sect had actually ended up in such a state. What kind of existence was that person that caused the scourge?
Many disciples were waiting for the continuation. Being supported by the crowd, the disciple felt great and continued. “Of course, that’s Zhou Yun! A glory disciple who was clearly at the tenth layer of Qi cultivation but still snatched Big Senior Brother’s spoils of war, causing so much controversy to Big Senior Brother!”
The crowd looked at Zhou Yun. They did not expect the legendary glory disciple to do such a despicable thing!
Cutting off someone’s immortal cultivation path was as bad as killing one’s parents!
Just as the crowd was bustling, Qiao’er heard their conversations and she was so angry that her fists hardened!
Qiao’er was indignant and wanted to rush out to defend Zhou Yun, but Zhou Yun held her back.
“Brother Zhou Yun! How could they slander you in such a manner? It was Meng Fei’ang who targeted Brother Zhou Yun first!” Qiao’er was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She did not understand why Zhou Yun had to hold her back!
Zhou Yun knew that Qiao’er was truly anxious for him. He smiled and rubbed Qiao’er’s head, and then pointed to the crowd that was starting to disperse. “It’s alright. Someone will help us solve this problem.”
As expected, the crowd dispersed in the next moment, and the anxious Eldest Senior Sister Su Wanyi rushed in.
Meng Fei’ang’s eyes lit up when he saw Su Wanyi. He wanted to explain but Su Wanyi ran past him toward Zhou Yun as if she didn’t see him.
“Junior Brother Zhou Yun, are you alright? Meng Fei’ang has been waiting for you after the secret realm incident. I’m worried that he’ll do something to harm you. Therefore I’ve been keeping an eye on the news here.” Su Wanyi ran toward Zhou Yun and looked at him carefully. After making sure that he was not hurt, she patted her chest and panted.
When Meng Fei’ang saw Su Wanyi run over without even looking at him, he felt as if he had suffered a heavy mental blow. And his eye sockets caved in like a zombie’s!
He could accept Zhou Yun and Qiao’er showing off their affections in front of him, but why did Su Wanyi, who had always treated everyone equally, take special care of this Zhou Yun? Meng Fei’ang clenched his fists tightly and his nails dug into the flesh.
“Meng Fei’ang, I think I’ve said this before. You and I are just fellow disciples. Please don’t bother the innocent Zhou Yun again.” Su Wanyi turned around. Her usual gentleness had disappeared from her face, leaving only coldness!
Many of the disciples present were shocked. It was the first time for some of them to see the gentle Eldest Senior Sister getting angry!
At this time, the temperature outside the sect leader’s hall seemed to have dropped a few degrees. No one dared to make a sound to provoke this angry Eldest Senior Sister!
“I… ” Meng Fei’ang’s dry lips moved. He hid the fierceness in his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, ” I just wanted to apologize to Junior Brother Zhou Yun. For this, I would rather wait here for half a month than disturb Junior Brother Zhou Yun’s closed-door cultivation.
“Eldest Senior Sister, please believe me. I’m really here to apologize!” Meng Fei’ang looked haggard. He looked like he was suffering from the torture of waiting for Zhou Yun.
Su Wanyi was moved. After all, she was a gentle and kind person. Seeing Meng Fei’ang in such a miserable state, she couldn’t bear it and looked away. But the next moment, she turned back to look at Meng Fei’ang.
Seeing Su Wanyi’s actions, Meng Fei’ang knew that he could never gain her trust again. He gritted his teeth and made a decision!
“I know I was wrong. To make up for my mistake this time and to celebrate Junior Brother Zhou Yun’s breakthrough to the legendary tenth layer of Qi cultivation, I have used all my savings to order a set of spiritual meals from the Gourmand Pavilion. I hereby invite the three of you to a banquet!” Meng Fei’ang said as he took out three exquisite tokens that contained spiritual Qi.
Hearing the words “Gourmand Pavilion,” the entire place went silent! What followed was the sound of heavy breathing!
Zhou Yun realized that it wasn’t just the surrounding disciples. Even Qiao’er was holding his hand tightly. Senior Sister Su Wanyi, who was in front of him, had also changed her cold attitude just now and looked at the tokens in Meng Fei’ang’s hand in disbelief.
“Gourmand Pavilion is famous for its specialty in cooking spiritual plants and spiritual beasts. In this era where spiritual Qi is running low and everyone is relying on the remaining spiritual Qi to cultivate, one spiritual meal of the Gourmand Pavilion is enough to offset several years of tough cultivation!” Su Wanyi explained the importance of the Gourmand Pavilion’s spiritual food to Zhou Yun! Her tone had also become more anxious!
“Zhou Yun, I really want to apologize and turn over a new leaf. Can you please forgive me?” Seeing the atmosphere change, Meng Fei’ang quickly asked Zhou Yun.
“Quickly agree! This is a spiritual meal. Even the elders of the Spirit Valley don’t get to eat it even once in ten years!”
“That’s right. When I heard an elder talk about the spiritual meal, his face was full of memories that made people yearn for it!”
“This Meng Fei’ang really is the former Big Senior Brother. He’s so generous that he’s treating Zhou Yun to a spiritual meal!”
The surrounding disciples couldn’t help but try to persuade Zhou Yun when they heard the spiritual food of the Gourmand Pavilion!
Even Su Wanyi and Qiao’er, who had been cold to Meng Fei’ang, turned to look at Zhou Yun.
They didn’t forgive Meng Fei’ang, but they didn’t want Zhou Yun to miss the chance to have a spiritual meal!
Zhou Yun raised his eyebrows. He didn’t expect Meng Fei’ang to offer something like this. However, he didn’t believe that a man who had wanted to kill him just because he had spoken a few words with Eldest Senior Sister would sincerely want to apologize!
Furthermore, Meng Fei’ang had tried to kill Qiao’er in the secret realm. Zhou Yun would never forgive him on this matter alone!
Zhou Yun quietly looked at Meng Fei’ang who apologized and repented non-stop.
What was Meng Fei’ang up to?
Zhou Yun looked at Su Wanyi. He suddenly thought of something and the corner of his lips curled up.
