Jing Feng successfully avoided an interrogation from Yang Wei when she managed to pull out a few rare herbs and described the pill that she wanted to concoct.
"See Yang Wei, I wasn't lying when I went out." Jing Feng laughed awkwardly.
Yang Wei could only sigh softly as he knew what she had done but kept it to himself.
He was only concerned for her health and current mindset. He didn't wish to make her feel like he is some sort of chain that is trying to contain her.
"Alright then, make sure to get some ample rest. The night is long and I don't want you to neglect your health." Yang Wei said calmly.
Afterward, he proceeded to walk out toward the door but was stopped by Jing Feng.
Yang Wei raised an eyebrow at her action.
However, before he could even ask what was wrong, Jing Feng had already dragged him inside the bedroom.
Soon, moaning began to occur in the lovely and tender night.

By the time morning arrived, Yang Wei woke up to see the jade-like skin from Jing Feng, who was standing from afar, dressing in her attire.
"You're awake now huh?" Jing Feng teased the moment she sensed him waking up.
"Un, last night was pretty hectic," Yang Wei said, reminiscing their intense night that had sucked his soul out.
Although it was a draining task and used a lot of his stamina, he had no regret doing that every night.
Meanwhile, Jing Feng ignored his cheeky remark and began to head outside.
"Wait for me," Yang Wei said aloud and hopped off the bed.
Sometime later, Yang Wei met with her outside the courtyard and noticed some people were running around frantically.
"Did something major happened? Why is everyone running around?" He asked in confusion.
Jing Feng nodded her head.
"The Tianlong Sect Patriarch had just announced his daughter is being engaged to the Yi Clan's heir. The Tianlong Sect is a powerhouse sect in the Central Zone, so everyone in the Kong Clan is raising the alarm since this could mean a change in power." She said calmly, almost like she wasn't interested in this matter at all.
With his knowledge, Yang Wei knew exactly why Jing Feng wasn't concerned with such matters.
'Yi Clan huh… it's probably that bastard backstabber. No wonder why Jing Feng left the room and only returned late at night.' He thought.
"Anyway, I'm going to seclude myself today, so no need to look for me." Jing Feng suddenly said.
As much as Yang Wei wanted to stay with her and be by her side when she needed it, he would respect her decision.
"Alrighty then, but make sure to not dwell so much on this matter. I'll always be here when you need a shoulder to lean on." He said, reminding her that she would never be alone.
He would always be by her side and assist her in any way.
Jing Feng appreciated his approach and gave him a light peck on the cheek.
Afterward, she kicked the ground softly and propelled herself up, guiding toward a secluded location.
Yang Wei glanced at her disappearing sight with a bit of sadness in his eyes. She was in so much pain yet he could only watch her endure it.
Clenching his fist tightly, Yang Wei's eyes turned bloodshot as he entered the Pagoda.
"Senior Fan Ping, are you around?" He yelled out.
A few moments later, Fan Ping appeared out of thin air as he looked at Yang Wei with an amused expression.
"Weren't you practicing your new technique from that old man? Why did you suddenly come to the Pagoda?" Fan Ping asked, while fully knowing what kind of mindset is on Yang Wei.
Yang Wei gnashed his teeth and tried his best to calm his emotions.
Being blinded by anger would only pollute his judgment and decision-making. Hence, Yang Wei took a few seconds to adjust his emotion.
Taking a few deep breaths, Yang Wei's eyes turned tranquil as he calmly gazed at Fan Ping.
"I want to borrow your strength, Senior Fan Ping." He asked solemnly.
"There's a certain bastard that I really want to mess with and provoke right now. But he is backed by too many people and with my current strength, I'm not confident enough to defeat him."
"Heh, so you want vengeance but you're too weak to do it yourself. Hence, you came here to ask for my assistance?" Fan Ping gave a cold laugh.
Suddenly, a chill began to loom around the atmosphere in the Pagoda, and Yang Wei could feel the temperature dropping down rapidly.
Without hesitation, Yang Wei started to circulate his spiritual qi to warm himself.
At the same time, he became cautious against Fan Ping for his sudden change.
Fan Ping curled his lips upward at the swift reaction from him.
Bzzt
In a flash, Fan Ping appeared behind Yang Wei as he raised his legs up and kicked Yang Wei.
BAM!
Yang Wei hadn't expected a sneak attack from Fan Ping, so he was defenseless when Fan Ping kicked him.
The kick wasn't a light one either and was infused with spiritual qi, causing a large bruise mark to appear on his back.
Yang Wei grunted slightly in pain as he turned around and faced Fan Ping.
"What the hell was that kick for?" He asked angrily.
Alas, Fan Ping had no intention to answer his question as he vanished from sight again.
Quickly, Yang Wei raised his guards up and started to sense around his surroundings.
'What is wrong with Senior Fan Ping today?' He questioned inwardly, wanting to find out why he was so aggressive today.
Meanwhile, Fan Ping who had concealed his presence completely in front of Yang Wei was glad that he had raised his guards up.
"At least he can still put up his guard and still think rationally." He muttered softly, glancing at the defensive Yang Wei from above.
"Let's see how long he can fare…"
