Chapter 1503: Chapter 1394: The Unruly Girl
Although they didn’t speak, Qingning’s group of young people could sense that this young man’s meaning was: I can indeed handle that leopard myself; it has nothing to do with you, and I don’t need to thank you.
"Hey, who are you? Even if you’re a martial artist, my brother Kuang Xuan is just being kind, trying to save you; you should at least say thank you."
The girl suddenly snorted coldly, her reasonably pretty face showing a displeased expression.
"Yes, Qingning is right; this person is too much."
"Just because he’s a martial artist, he thinks he’s all that. Young martial artists are just arrogant and ignorant."
"No manners, lack of understanding; what martial arts heart are we even talking about? How can he call himself a martial artist?"
A group of young men and women behind the girl started discussing, clearly very unhappy with Ye Qingfeng’s indifferent attitude.
Ye Qingfeng was slightly stunned; he just didn’t say anything, yet he was slandered by these young people, who even discussed his martial arts heart.
"Let it go, Qingning. He didn’t say anything. Maybe he’s just introverted and doesn’t like to express himself," Kuang Xuan shook his head and turned to advise the group of young people.
"Tsk, he’s really useless. Compared to Brother Lu He, he’s far behind," the girl named Qingning changed her expression and mocked coldly.
Kuang Xuan’s mouth twitched; he was a bit embarrassed.
"Since you two are also heading to Panwu Land, why not travel with us? There are many strong experts heading to Panwu Land. We’re just a group of young people; traveling together would be safer!"
Kuang Xuan clasped his fists at Ye Qingfeng and said loudly.
"Okay."
Ye Qingfeng didn’t hesitate and nodded lightly.
These people seemed more familiar with this mountain range, and traveling with them could save time and avoid detours with Luan Wusheng.
"Who wants to travel with him?"
The Qingning girl once again mocked in a low voice.
Ye Qingfeng couldn’t be bothered with her, glanced at the girl casually, and said nothing.
Forming a group, they walked deeper into the mountains; Ye Qingfeng behaved very coldly, not fond of talking, naturally unable to blend into this circle, and no one paid attention to him.
However, Kuang Xuan was rather enthusiastic, actively engaging Ye Qingfeng in conversation.
From Kuang Xuan’s words, Ye Qingfeng learned these people were from a sect in the northeast called the Thousand Extremes Sect.
This Kuang Xuan was the senior brother of the Thousand Extremes Sect, and these young men and women were disciples of the sect. The girl, named Yuan Qingning, was the Sect Leader’s daughter and Kuang Xuan’s junior sister.
So she was the Sect Master’s daughter; Ye Qingfeng smiled faintly, no wonder Kuang Xuan was so respectful to this girl.
"The Sect Master’s daughter, truly imposing," Luan Wusheng, who had been silent alongside Ye Qingfeng, couldn’t help interjecting.
He had long been displeased; Yuan Qingning spoke too arrogantly. He was a strong Peak War General, and this mere War Master level girl dared to put on airs before him.
Even if her father came, standing before him, the Sect Master of Thousand Extremes Sect wouldn’t dare to be so presumptuous.
Ye Qingfeng had not been angry or spoken, so Luan Wusheng dared not act, otherwise he would have dealt with Yuan Qingning long ago.
"It’s not because she’s the Sect Master’s daughter that I respect her; it’s because I like her that I’m willing to spoil her!" Kuang Xuan shook his head and said directly, without concealing anything.
Ye Qingfeng smiled faintly; he had long seen through it. Yuan Qingning obviously didn’t like Kuang Xuan. The person who moved her heart should be the Brother Lu He she mentioned.
This was quite normal; Kuang Xuan seemed like a people-pleaser.
Although Ye Qingfeng hadn’t met Lu He, he guessed Lu He should be a free-spirited, charming gentleman.
Someone who could attract girls would naturally be someone like Lu He; Kuang Xuan was too straightforward. The more he indulged Yuan Qingning, the more she would loathe and disrespect him.
Ye Qingfeng had no interest in others’ private matters.
Who Yuan Qingning liked, whether Kuang Xuan could win her over, had nothing to do with Ye Qingfeng. He just wanted to reach Panwu Land as soon as possible.
"Haha, I know I’m too dull; she doesn’t like me. But as long as she’s happy, that’s all that matters." Kuang Xuan chuckled.
Maybe Ye Qingfeng’s cold nature allowed Kuang Xuan to find a place to vent, sharing his thoughts without restraint.
Since Ye Qingfeng wouldn’t refute or speak, his indifferent expression didn’t reveal whether he was listening or not, but this made him a good listener.
"As long as you like her, but your junior sister is just average!"
Ye Qingfeng finally spoke indifferently.
He could see Kuang Xuan was quite gifted, surpassing Yuan Qingning. In the martial artist world, talent is what matters most; looks are just fleeting.
Though not loud, Ye Qingfeng’s words were still heard by Yuan Qingning; she turned around and stared angrily at Ye Qingfeng.
She had been listening to her senior brother’s conversation with the young man, not very attentively, but she caught that last sentence.
"Just average?"
The words made Yuan Qingning very uncomfortable; she, the daughter of the Thousand Extremes Sect’s Sect Master, surrounded by admiration, felt only Brother Lu He was worthy of her!
Feeling Yuan Qingning’s fierce gaze, Ye Qingfeng’s expression remained calm, as if he didn’t mind having spoken.
Finally, after glaring at Ye Qingfeng, Yuan Qingning withdrew her gaze and began joking with other young people.
Approaching evening, the group found an open space, took out some dry food, and began resting, planning to set off again the next morning.
"Hey, where’s that young man named Ye Qingfeng?" Suddenly, someone asked, realizing Ye Qingfeng was nowhere to be found.
"Right, where’s Brother Ye Qingfeng? But his servant is still here; he probably just wandered around nearby," Kuang Xuan hesitated and then spoke up.
Luan Wusheng had been silent, following Ye Qingfeng, and everyone assumed Luan Wusheng was Ye Qingfeng’s servant, which was quite normal in the martial artist world.
"Brother Ye Qingfeng? Are you familiar with him to call him brother?" Yuan Qingning suddenly said discontentedly.
Kuang Xuan scratched his head and said awkwardly, "Actually, Brother Ye Qingfeng is quite..."
"Hmph!"
Before Kuang Xuan could finish, Yuan Qingning interrupted with a cold snort, making him dare not speak further.
He truly liked his junior sister, but unfortunately, Yuan Qingning had no interest in Kuang Xuan’s straightforward demeanor, feeling even more disdain seeing him being so spineless.
At this moment, Ye Qingfeng finally returned, having caught a few wild chickens from somewhere, cleaned them up, and began making a fire to roast them aside.
