Goddess Painting

See you in the picture!

So that's what it was all about!

Qin Feng's sneer inwardly deepened.

To be able to invite such a powerful figure as the head of the Internal Affairs Hall to act as an advocate, and even go so far as to personally intervene and force the emperor to resign, Wang Tianyi and the Lin family have really gone all out this time!

"Thank you for your kindness, Chief."

Qin Feng straightened his back and spoke firmly:

"But to revitalize Tian Shu is Qin Feng's duty, and also his heart's desire!"

"No matter how difficult it is, this disciple dares not give up easily!"

"Stubborn to the end!"

Zhou Yuanqing's face darkened, and his voice turned icy cold:

"It's good for young people to have ambition, but they also need to be realistic and act within their capabilities!"

"Some burdens are not something you can simply shoulder just because you want to!"

"The sect's resources are limited and should be used in ways that better cultivate talent, not wasted on this bottomless pit of yours!"

Seeing that the other party's attitude was so tough, and that they had even made it clear that they wanted to forcibly remove Tian Shu Peak from the organization, Qin Feng knew that ordinary explanations were useless.

Since you're playing power games with me, I'll play even more power games with you!

Qin Feng suddenly sighed, a hint of helplessness on his face:

"Since my words have failed to persuade the head monk, and the head monk insists that Tian Shu Peak is a hopeless place..."

"Fine!"

"Please wait here for a moment, Your Excellency."

"How dare you!" Zhou Yuanqing's brows furrowed. "You actually dared to keep me waiting?"

Qin Feng smiled slightly, his tone tinged with mystery:

"This disciple will go and invite an elder who has influence to speak with the head monk."

"elder?"

Zhou Yuanqing scoffed, his face full of disdain:

"Heh, Tian Shu Peak is deserted. Besides your long-lost grandfather, who else could you possibly summon?"

"Very well! I'll see what tricks you have up your sleeve! I'll wait a moment!"

Qin Feng cupped his hands in greeting, then turned and went into the back hall.

He quickly changed clothes, put on a human skin mask, and donned his signature black robe.

When they came out again, the timid disciple Qin Feng was gone. In his place was the mysterious and powerful "Master Feng"!

"Chief Zhou, what an imposing official air you have!"

As Qin Feng walked out, he sneered in a hoarse, aged voice:

"What has my good-for-nothing disciple done to offend you?"

"They actually went to the headmaster's personal attention to strip him of his position as peak master, the very foundation of his livelihood?!"

Zhou Yuanqing was admiring the scenery with his hands behind his back when he heard the sound and turned around abruptly.

The moment he saw who it was, he froze, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets!

"Wind...Master Wind?!"

He was first shocked, then filled with deep fear!

He never expected that the "elder" Qin Feng mentioned would actually be this man!

Even more unexpectedly, the legendary Master Feng, who is rarely seen, actually appeared on Tian Shu Peak!

This is the amazing person who pulled Hua Muyao back from the brink of death in the Blood-Breaking Realm!

If Master Hua finds out that he bullied Master Feng's disciple...

Zhou Yuanqing shivered, feeling a chill run down his spine.

"It's a misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding!"

Zhou Yuanqing's originally stern and impartial face instantly filled with a fawning smile, and he almost bent over to the ground:

"This junior greets Master Feng!"

"This is truly... a case of the flood washing away the Dragon King's temple!"

"Misunderstand?"

Qin Feng snorted coldly, walked to the main seat and sat down, looking down at him:

"Where did this misunderstanding come from?"

"Since my disciple entered Tian Shu Peak, he has been repeatedly suppressed by the outside world, his resources have been cut off, and his disciples have been forced to leave."

"Now even Chief Zhou is personally stepping in to force the emperor to abdicate."

"Chief Zhou...you really have some impressive skills!"

"No, no, no! Master is joking!"

Zhou Yuanqing broke out in a cold sweat and repeatedly waved his hands, protesting his innocence:

"How dare I, a junior!"

"I have come today simply because all the disciples of Tian Shu Peak have departed. As the head of the Internal Affairs Hall, I am merely inquiring as is customary!"

"There was absolutely no intention to target Peak Master Qin!"

"Absolutely no targeting?"

Qin Feng's tone was icy:

"Although I am in the mountains, I am aware that there are people within the Qingyun Sect who are targeting this unworthy disciple."

"Chief Zhou, who instructed you to be in such a hurry to get rid of him?"

"explain!"

Zhou Yuanqing shuddered in fright and quickly explained:

"I really wasn't instructed by anyone!"

"It's just... it's just that I saw Qin Feng defeat Chu Kuang on the arena yesterday, and I think he's a promising talent. It would be a waste to keep him in a desolate place like Tian Shu Peak..."

"I wanted him to go to a better mountain to cultivate; it was out of my deep appreciation for his talent!"

"If I had known earlier that Peak Master Qin was a disciple of the Grandmaster, I wouldn't have dared to come and disturb you even if I had a hundred lives!"

Seeing Zhou Yuanqing's confident demeanor, Qin Feng's heart stirred slightly.

Why are you so stubborn?

Could it be that they weren't invited by the Lin family and Wang Tianyi?

Those two families... probably aren't worth the unwavering dedication of the head of the Internal Affairs Department to help cover them up, are they?

Could there be some other hidden story behind this?

Or is Zhou Yuanqing really just a "rule-abiding" old-fashioned person?

"snort!"

Qin Feng snorted heavily, interrupting his explanation:

"I was in the back room just now, and I heard it all clearly."

"Chief Zhou, you are in charge of internal affairs; you should know the meaning of 'fairness'!"

"It was already difficult enough for my disciple to take over Tian Shu Peak, but now it seems as if an invisible hand is secretly hindering him, forcing him away, and severing his foundation!"

"As the head of the group, it's one thing if you don't help him, but what you've done today... isn't that a bit like kicking someone when they're down?!"

With this serious accusation pinned on him, Zhou Yuanqing dared not refute it. His face turned pale, and he repeatedly apologized.

"Master, you are wise!"

"This junior is foolish and reckless! This matter must have been caused by the incompetence of those below, who relayed false information!"

"This junior will certainly investigate thoroughly upon returning! There will be absolutely no leniency!"

Seeing that the time was right, Qin Feng didn't want to really break ties with him, since he still needed to stay in the sect in the future.

"That's enough."

Qin Feng waved his hand, feigning magnanimity, and said:

"Since you are in trouble, I will not force you to do anything against your will."

"Let's drop this matter."

"Thank you, Master! Thank you for your magnanimity!"

Zhou Yuanqing felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and quickly assured him:

"Rest assured, Master! I know what to do!"

"We will never allow Peak Master Qin to suffer such injustice again!"

As he spoke, he seemed to remember something, and pulled out a shimmering token from his robes, presenting it with both hands:

"master……"

"The 'Earthfall Secret Realm' will open in four days."

"Spots for this secret realm are always in high demand, and it is of great benefit to the cultivation of young disciples."

"This token... is a token of my apology for my rudeness today. I present it to Peak Master Qin as a token of my remorse!"

"I hope the master...won't take it to heart!"

Earthfall Secret Realm? !

Qin Feng's heart skipped a beat.

That's a great place!

It is said that it not only contains many spiritual herbs for refining high-level cultivation pills, but also has a chance to produce rare natural treasures that can solidify the foundation and refine the physical body!

You should know that as your cultivation level increases, the high-grade pills needed for cultivation cannot be bought with spirit stones alone!

These rare and precious medicinal herbs are very important!

"Um."

Qin Feng was overjoyed, but on his face he maintained a detached and aloof demeanor, casually accepting the token.

"Go then."

"Remember what you said."

"Yes, yes, yes! This junior takes his leave! I dare not disturb the master's peace and quiet!"

Zhou Yuanqing bowed respectfully, then turned into a streak of light and hurriedly left as if fleeing for his life, his back view appearing extremely flustered.

After Zhou Yuanqing had gone far away.

Qin Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief, took off his mask, and changed back into his original clothes.

Looking at the heavy secret realm token in his hand, Qin Feng's lips curled into a smug smile.

"Tsk tsk..."

"Having a 'master' makes things much easier!"

"Not only did we repel a powerful enemy, but we also gained a free spot in a secret realm!"

"This is... a huge profit!"
