Chapter 1632: Dense as a Block of Wood
"So it was you, Ling Feng. You are back."
Fang Wen was slightly stunned when she saw him. She immediately stepped forward to greet him. She had not forgotten her position. Even though she had been specially promoted into the inner sect, in front of Ling Feng she was still only his maid.
"Mm."
Ling Feng nodded at her.
He had only mentioned it casually back then, but it seemed Saint Lady Bi Luo had indeed taken his words seriously. In any case, a large residence like this always needed people to manage it. Keeping Fang Wen by his side was a good choice.
Then his gaze shifted to the woman beside her. He paused slightly.
"Senior Sister Yu? Why are you here too?"
Fairy Qingping stood there in a daze.
She saw Ling Feng and Tuoba Yan standing very close to each other. Ling Feng was even holding her arm. Something bitter rose quietly in her heart.
For some reason, she suddenly lost interest.
She had originally come to find Ling Feng and speak with him properly, to say what she had been holding in her heart.
She had never thought of any deeper relationship between them. He was simply someone she could talk to.
But seeing this scene made her feel strangely empty.
So he already had someone beside him, and such a stunning beauty at that.
She bit her lip and forced a calm smile.
"I just happened to come and look for Junior Sister Fang."
Ling Feng looked surprised.
"You are looking for Fang Wen? You two are close?"
"Yes... yes."
Fairy Qingping smiled awkwardly. "Since you are back, I will take my leave."
Without waiting for a response, she turned and left the Young Emperor residence in a hurry.
Ling Feng stood there, completely confused. He turned to Fang Wen.
"Fang Wen, you knew Senior Sister Yu before?"
"Uh... sort of."
Fang Wen smiled wryly in her heart. She could not help but feel a little sympathy for Fairy Qingping.
Ling Feng really had no idea how to handle emotions. That kind of bluntness must have left her both embarrassed and uncomfortable.
"I will go prepare lunch first. You can show Senior Sister Tuoba around the residence."
Before Ling Feng could respond, Fang Wen ran off.
Ling Feng blinked.
"Do I look like someone who is starving to death?"
Tuoba Yan looked at him and shook her head helplessly.
No matter how strong he became, he was still completely clueless when it came to feelings.
"You really have quite a talent for attracting women, don't you."
She said it half teasing, half annoyed.
"What do you mean attracting women?"
Ling Feng rolled his eyes. He thought of Mu Qianxue and Yue Yunlan and immediately shook his head.
"No such thing."
"Really?" Tuoba Yan narrowed her eyes. "That senior sister earlier, she must be the famous Fairy Qingping. The one who caused quite a stir because of you."
"That whole story is nonsense," Ling Feng said casually. "She is just a senior sister from the same sect."
"Oh?" Tuoba Yan smiled faintly. "But she does not look at you like just a senior sister would."
"Then she said it herself. She came to look for Fang Wen."
"Only you would believe that," Tuoba Yan said lightly.
Ling Feng shrugged.
"Whatever the case, let us not talk about her."
He looked at Tuoba Yan more seriously.
"I have been meaning to ask you. Your cultivation speed is a little too fast. Back then I was far ahead of you. Now you have already caught up and surpassed me."
"It is all thanks to my master's guidance and cleansing of my meridians."
Tuoba Yan's eyes showed gratitude.
"Her physique is the same as mine. With her guidance, I avoided many detours."
"So that is why," Ling Feng said thoughtfully. "She probably wants you to represent the Illusory Moon Divine Hall in the Sunset Heaven Selection."
He looked at her curiously.
"Then I am even more interested. Just how strong are you now?"
Tuoba Yan thought for a moment.
"My master has arranged many sparring matches for me. Most of them could not withstand even a single move."
"As for the Fourth Ranked Young Emperor, I defeated him within three moves."
"The top three... I have not challenged them yet."
Ling Feng's eyes widened slightly.
Even with the Profound Yin Physique, that was still ridiculous.
Tuoba Yan noticed his expression and lifted her chin proudly.
"How is it? Impressive, right? Maybe even you are not my opponent anymore."
Back then, she could only hide behind him.
Now, after receiving Saint Lady Hui Yue's full instruction, her potential had been fully unleashed. She had even mastered the cold moon power completely. In many ways, she was now a younger version of her master.
She had already defeated multiple Young Emperor level experts in sparring. She now had the qualifications to represent the Illusory Moon Divine Hall in the Sunset Heaven Selection and compete for entry into Sunset Ancient City.
"Ling Feng, next time we face enemies, I can finally fight alongside you."
She said it very seriously.
Ling Feng smiled slightly.
"Then I will have to rely on you in the future, Yan'er."
His words were casual, but something inside him stirred slightly.
Perhaps from the moment the Tiance Mirror chose her as its vessel, their fates had already been tightly linked.
"Hmph. No sincerity at all."
Tuoba Yan rolled her eyes.
"You are a monster. I am not comparing myself to you."
Ling Feng laughed softly, but his thoughts drifted elsewhere.
The Sunset Heaven Selection was approaching. He was looking forward to it.
That day, Ling Feng accompanied Tuoba Yan around the inner sect of the Dongling Immortal Pool. Later, he brought her to meet some of his outer sect friends at the Earth Spirit Hall. They spent the day catching up.
Only very late did he send her back to the Illusory Moon Divine Hall.
There were only fifteen days left until the Sunset Heaven Selection officially began.
