I picked up the scattered attributes

Looking at the embroidered ball of light that had fallen to the ground, Feng Xia's lips twitched. However, in the end, he still absorbed it with a look of disgust, then revealed a smile and scanned everyone around him.

Everyone shrank back and lowered their heads. For a moment, no one dared to look Feng Xia in the eye!

"Looks like there won't be any today."

After waiting a moment and seeing that no one spoke, Feng Xia waved his hand regretfully and said with a smile, "For the next period of time, I will stay in Qianqiu Valley. If anyone wants to fight, avenge their senior brothers and sisters, or anything else... they can come to me anytime, anywhere."

"Of course, what your purpose is in coming to me will determine how much of a beating you end up getting."

"If you are not prepared... please be very careful."

After saying that, Feng Xia shook his head regretfully, stared at the many menacing gazes, waved his hand, and drifted away.

Zhu Youniang looked left and right, and finally followed Feng Xia away, a hint of regret in her eyes: "No one still told me where to eat..."

……

That night.

The silver moon hangs high, bright and clear with few stars.

Usually at this time, the disciples of Qianqiu Valley would either rest or meditate, some entering a deep meditative state, while others would begin to rub their hands in love.

However, nowadays, many people no longer have that thought.

Everything... was because of that uninvited guest!

"Feng Xia... Feng Xia! Where on earth did Lei Shao, that roughneck, find such a freak?"

The moonlight was like waves, and the blue waves were as clear as if they had been washed.

A handsome middle-aged man, with an elegance beyond the ordinary, strolled up a stone platform. Under his feet were lush and exotic flowers and plants, each exuding a faint vitality. The misty atmosphere made the place seem like a fairyland.

His gaze was deep, looking out at the night sky.

“Feng Xia…this person is indeed a variable. If necessary, we can eliminate him.”

After a long while, the handsome middle-aged man slowly withdrew his gaze. He turned and descended the steps, muttering thoughtfully, "You are all wrong, and that barbarian Lei Shao is wrong too. The Xuanwu royal family cannot be confronted head-on; forcibly taking it will only lead to destruction. Only the path I have chosen... can truly save Qianqiu Valley from its dire straits!"

When he returned to the valley, Ye Yi, with a bruised and swollen face, was already waiting there.

"Master, I have disgraced you."

Ye Yi looked ashamed and stammered as he spoke.

……

Chapter 0024

"Yi'er, it's not shameful to lose, as long as you can learn from the defeat."

Upon hearing this, the Sixth Elder, Liu Chuanyuan, did not change his expression much. He merely glanced at Ye Yi and said slowly, "Do you know where you truly embarrassed yourself today?"

Ye Yi's face grew increasingly ashamed, and he whispered, "Please enlighten me, Master."

"Your biggest problem today is that you acted too rashly and spoke too smoothly. Once you make any mistake, you will have no room to maneuver."

Liu Chuanyuan continued expressionlessly, "I told you to check the situation, handle minor issues directly, and report major issues to me. And what did you do?"

Ye Yi stammered, his face flushing red: "This disciple thinks Lei Shao and Bai Canghai are just too arrogant. The glory of this mission should have belonged to Master, but they not only stole it, but they also failed in the end. It's simply..."

"Ok?"

The Sixth Elder, Liu Chuanyuan, suddenly snorted, his face darkening as he shouted, "How many times have I told you? You must call him the First Elder! And that brat Bai Canghai, you should also call him Senior Brother, not address him by his given name like this!"

"But Master, your lineage and the Great Elder's lineage..." Ye Yi was still somewhat indignant.

"It's my own business that I don't get along with Lei Shao. Even if I want to deal with Lei Shao, the rules still need to be followed. Unless... you go and win the position of chief disciple, or break through to the Divine Power Realm and add a new elder to Thousand Autumn Valley."

Yanagawa Gen spoke calmly, yet his words carried an undeniable authority.

Seeing this, Ye Yi quickly shut his mouth and dared not say anything more.

"However, now that the young man surnamed Feng has settled in Qianqiu Valley, there are some things that are no longer up to him."

After a long while, the Sixth Elder, Liu Chuanyuan, put his hands behind his back and said thoughtfully, "Didn't he say that he welcomes anyone to challenge him? Then let's fulfill his request and arrange for more people to challenge him. We must test his true strength."

"I understand."

Ye Yi subconsciously agreed, then froze, exclaiming in astonishment, "Master, even you couldn't see through Feng Xia's true strength?"

“This kid is indeed quite mysterious, and he must have some tricks up his sleeve.” Liu Chuanyuan nodded without denying it. “When he and Lei Shao rushed into the back mountain before, Lei Shao deliberately created a large amount of dust. Even I don’t know what happened inside yet.”

Ye Yi was horrified.

"Of course, there's no need to worry too much. Although Qianqiu Valley has declined, it still has some disciples, especially among the older generation. Many of them are quite strong, but they are mostly engaged in arduous cultivation."

"Now, it's time for them to contribute to the sect."

Yanagawa Gen narrowed his eyes and said calmly.

……

"East China Sea specialty lime crab?"

the other side.

Thousand Autumns Valley, Jade Flower Courtyard.

The disciple responsible for settling Feng Xia and Zhu Youniang looked utterly devastated upon hearing Zhu Youniang's request: "Xuanwu Kingdom is located in the northwest corner of the continent, and besides, it's the wrong season. I really can't find any lime crabs..."

Zhu Youniang clicked her tongue regretfully: "Tsk, if you don't have it, then forget it."

The girl licked her lips with her bright red tongue, making no attempt to hide her displeasure: "I've been hearing that old man talk about the East China Sea lime crab, and ever since I came out, I've wanted to try it. After all, it's just me... Oh well, since I'm already out here, I'll have a chance to go to the East China Sea sometime... What are you looking at?"

"I'm looking to see if there are any surveillance methods here."

As Feng Xia activated his newly comprehended sword heart, his mind became clear in an instant. His sword heart was like a mirror, as if it could reflect all darkness.

—Although he might be overthinking it, since he's decided to help the Grand Elder stir up trouble, it's always good to be careful.

This is where the benefits of having a clear mind become apparent: it's like a portable radar, scanning wherever you go, it's so easy.

He walked around the courtyard a few times, then went inside and scanned the room. Suddenly, he noticed the figure trailing behind him and turned around in surprise: "You Niang, what are you still doing here?"

"Of course we're preparing to rest." Zhu Youniang blinked, mimicking Feng Xia's gesture of looking around, but found nothing. "Didn't they tell us to sleep here?"

Wait!

It wasn't until this point that Feng Xia realized a problem.

There was only one room in the courtyard that Qianqiu Valley had arranged for them!

There's only one bed in the room!

How can two people sleep in one bed?

"This has really given me a difficult problem..."

Just as he was muttering to himself, he saw Zhu Youniang leap up and easily jump onto the roof beam, then hang upside down from the beam in an unbelievable way.

Feng Xia: "..."

I almost forgot that this girl's true form is actually a spider!

"What's wrong? Aren't you going to sleep?"

After successfully flipping Newton's coffin lid, Zhu Youniang, oblivious to everything, winked at Feng Xia: "If you're not going to sleep, then I might as well not sleep either, since I basically don't need sleep anyway."

"No, I was just expressing my feelings."

Feng Xia was too lazy to think about it too much, so he plopped down on the bed. One of his few good qualities was that he was not picky about the bed. As long as you gave him a place to lie down, he would make sure to sleep!

As for the other girl in the room... what a joke! Is your 2D wife not pretty enough?

However, when he looked up, he immediately met Zhu Youniang's gaze.

Zhu Youniang glared at him, and he glared back at Zhu Youniang.

Feng Xia remained silent for a moment, trying to clear her mind, but one thought still uncontrollably surfaced in her head:

Why didn't Zhu Youniang's skirt flip down?!

Wait! Why isn't her hair hanging down either?

This unscientific!

Zhu Youniang: "?"

By the time Fengxia snapped out of her random thoughts and drifted off to sleep, it was already well past midnight.

The next day.

The hazy sunlight pierced through the clouds and mist of Canglan Mountain, illuminating Fengxia's face.

After an unknown amount of time, Feng Xia finally frowned and slowly opened his eyes. As he shifted his body, he immediately sensed that something was wrong.

A petite and soft body, with messy hair, and large expanses of bare white skin on her waist, shoulders, and thighs, lay sprawled on the bed.

"Calm down, calm down, calm down, you must stay calm in times like these..."

Feng Xia took a deep breath, trying to calm his blood-filled brain.

However, his efforts soon came to an end in failure.

"Zhu Youniang! Wake up! When did you hang me from the roof beam?!"
