He looked up and saw a large number of martial arts practitioners gathered in the woods. Although his chosen spot wasn't in the front, the view was quite good, allowing him to clearly see the situation in the apricot grove.

Just then, a man and a woman nearby saw Su Qingfeng sitting under the tree, drenched in sweat, and couldn't help but find it amusing. They hadn't expected a young master who didn't know martial arts to join in the fun.

These two were none other than Li Xunhuan, the Flying Dagger Master, who was traveling in the Song Dynasty, and his cousin Lin Shiyin.

Lin Shiyin asked curiously:

"Cousin, this young master doesn't know martial arts, so why is he here?"

Li** looked at Su Qingfeng, who was still panting, and smiled:

"Perhaps this young master is simply curious about matters of the martial world."

"Hehe, if something happens later, he'll probably be terrified." Lin Shiyin smiled sweetly.

Li** shook his head helplessly:

"You silly girl, with us here, this young master will be fine. I'll go and talk to him."

Lin Shiyin waved her hand and continued to look at the arriving martial arts figures:

"Okay, go ahead, I'll see if I know anyone there."

Li** walked up to Su Qingfeng and asked:

"Brother, why are you all sweaty?"

Su Qingfeng made up something on the spot:

"That's what happened when I was chased by a tigress."

Li was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and sat down next to him:

"Brother, you are truly witty. My surname is Li; may I ask your surname?"

"His surname is Su."

Su Qingfeng felt a little helpless seeing the scholar sitting next to her. Shi Feixuan and Wanwan would arrive soon, and the scholar might be captivated by them. If he accidentally offended Wanwan, he'd probably be in trouble.

Li noticed that Su Qingfeng's gaze was a little strange, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

"Brother Su, you're here to see the Beggars' Sect gathering too? You don't know martial arts, so what brings you here?"

Su Qingfeng glanced helplessly at the scholar:

"You don't know martial arts either? If you can come, why can't I?"

"Haha, Brother Su, please don't be offended. I was just asking casually."

In the apricot grove, more and more martial artists arrived, but Su Qingfeng didn't recognize a single one. The Beggars' Clan had already set up many tables and chairs in the clearings of the grove, presumably for important figures. So far, most of those arriving were minor characters. Su Qingfeng thought to himself, "The grandmasters and great grandmasters will probably show up soon."

He turned to Li** beside him and asked:

"Brother Li, do you know which important figures will be attending today?"

"I don't know either. I just came to the Song Dynasty for sightseeing." Li** shook his head.

"Hmm? You're not from the Song Dynasty? Then you are...?"

"I come from the Ming Dynasty."

Su Qingfeng leaned lazily against the tree:

"I see. It seems we're both newbies to this world; I don't know anyone here."

"Haha, me too."

Li** did not reveal his identity, only noting that this young master Su possessed a unique demeanor. Had he not discerned that Su Qingfeng had no internal energy, he would almost have assumed he was also a hidden master.

"Cousin, why are you sitting on the floor?"

Lin Shiyin walked out from behind the tree and was surprised to see Li** sitting side by side with a strange young man, chatting casually. Her cousin always paid attention to his appearance, so why was he so casual today?

Su Qingfeng looked up and saw another beautiful woman approaching. He sighed inwardly: He had encountered three stunning beauties in one day, each more beautiful than the last.

Li**, however, did not care and said to Lin Shiyin:

"It's alright. This is Young Master Su. Brother Su, this is my cousin, Lin Shiyin."

"Lin Shiyin? Are you Li**?"

Su Qingfeng was stunned for a moment—he had just randomly encountered someone who was none other than the famous Little Li Flying Dagger! Shi Feixuan and Wanwan were probably already Grandmasters, and this Li** was either a Great Grandmaster or at the peak of the Grandmaster realm. His flying daggers were probably difficult even for Great Grandmasters to dodge.

"Oh? Brother Su actually knows me?" Li** was somewhat surprised.

Su Qingfeng then came to her senses:

"Who doesn't know Li Xunhuan, the Little Flying Dagger of the Ming Dynasty? I never imagined I'd be sitting here with you."

Li apologized with a smile:

"I hope Brother Su will not take offense. My cousin and I are only traveling and do not wish to reveal our identities."

Su Qingfeng smiled and said to Li**:

"Don't worry, Brother Li, I understand. I will never spread this around. But your cousin is indeed beautiful. You must treat her well in the future and keep those with ill intentions away."

"Let me give you one more piece of advice: If you're in love, don't give up easily, and don't let your beloved slip away for anything—unless she no longer loves you. But as long as she's still willing to be with you, you have to stick with it to the end."

Li** was completely confused: "What you're saying... I don't quite understand?"

Su Qingfeng thought for a moment and then said:

"You'll understand later. Brother Li, remember to be wary of a man surnamed Long. He might make you regret it for the rest of your life. If you ever encounter him, kill him on the spot—this is my advice, please keep it in mind."

Su Qingfeng had always liked the character Li**, but after seeing him push his cousin towards Long Xiaoyun, she began to dislike him. Now that the incident hasn't happened yet, Su Qingfeng sincerely hopes that her childhood idol won't repeat the same mistake.

Lin Shiyin looked at Su Qingfeng with a strange expression.

"Hey, you're not a scammer, are you? How do you know my cousin will meet someone surnamed Long? And you're even encouraging him to... what are you up to?"

Su Qingfeng glanced at her, too lazy to bother with her:

"You're all talk and no action. I'm not interested in arguing with you."

Lin Shiyin was so angry that she pointed at Su Qingfeng and cursed:

"You...you're completely insane! What did I ever do to you?"

Su Qingfeng took out a few copper coins from his pocket and stuffed them into her hand:

"Lin Shiyin, go play over there for a while. I need to talk to your cousin about some serious business."

Lin Shiyin threw the copper coin back at Su Qingfeng:

"Who are you trying to humiliate? Do you think I'm a child with just a few coins?"

Su Qingfeng awkwardly pulled out some more gold:

"Oops, wrong one. Here, take this. There's food over there, go check it out yourself."

Lin Shiyin haughtily pushed his hand away:

"Who wants your filthy money? I'm not leaving, what can you do about it?"

Li watched the two arguing from the side, still pondering Su Qingfeng's words, and didn't know what to say.

Just then, Shi Feixuan and Wanwan used their lightness skills to dart one after the other to Su Qingfeng's side. They noticed that there was a martial arts practitioner with Su Qingfeng, and that the person had a sharp aura, which made them wary.

The two rushed back, after all, Su Qingfeng was someone they had brought, and neither Shi Feixuan nor Wanwan wanted anything to happen to this interesting person.

As soon as Wanwan approached, she took Su Qingfeng's arm, her voice tinged with grievance:

"Su Qingfeng, we've only been gone a short while, and you've already met another beautiful girl. How can you do this to us?"

Su Qingfeng pulled her hand back in annoyance:

"What's there to apologize for? Why did you even come back? I almost ran my legs off just now, do you know that?"

Seeing that Su Qingfeng dared to be fierce to her, Wanwan immediately advanced instead of retreating:

"Serves you right! Who told you not to know martial arts?"

Su Qingfeng angrily pointed at the two of them:

"Hey, knowing I don't know martial arts, you still made me run away while you rode horses. Don't you have any conscience?"

Shi Feixuan looked apologetic and said softly:

"Su Qingfeng, we were indeed wrong just now, and we apologize to you."

Su Qingfeng just wanted them to leave quickly—people were already looking over. He had wanted to keep a low profile, but now that everyone was paying attention, how could he keep a low profile anymore?

"No need. I have nothing to do with you anyway. Now that we've arrived at Xingzilin, let's go our separate ways from here on out."

Wanwan's eyes reddened, and they filled with tears.

"Su Qingfeng, are you really so heartless? Is it because of this young lady?"

Seeing that she was starting to make a fuss again, Su Qingfeng hurriedly explained with a headache:

"Don't talk nonsense! I have nothing to do with them. Your ramblings will only cause misunderstandings!"

Wanwan's tears fell in a flurry:

"How can it be unrelated? Haven't you ever hugged me? Haven't we ever ridden a horse together? What does it mean to be related?"

"I……"

Su Qingfeng was speechless for a moment.

He glared at Wanwan, wanting nothing more than to beat this vixen up, but he knew he was in deep trouble no matter what.

Looking up and seeing the gazes cast by Li** and Lin Shiyin, Su Qingfeng felt helpless—they must have regarded him as a heartless person.

Faced with Wanwan's tendency to cry on cue, he had no choice but to give in:

"Alright, I give up. You can stay if you want."

Wanwan immediately wiped away her tears and let out a soft hum:

"That's more like it. Su Qingfeng, who are these two?"

Su Qingfeng pointed to the side:

"Li Xunhuan, the Flying Dagger Master, and the woman next to him is his cousin, Lin Shiyin."

Lin Shiyin glared at Su Qingfeng and said angrily, "Su Qingfeng, what makes you think I'm a stupid woman?"

She was furious when she heard Su Qingfeng's words. She had clearly not provoked him, so why did this person look down on her as soon as they met?

Besides, she's so beautiful, didn't this guy see that? She'll definitely be on the list of beauties in the martial arts world this time.

But when Lin Shiyin saw Wanwan and Shi Feixuan beside Su Qingfeng, she suddenly felt uneasy. She hadn't expected that this annoying guy would have two girls standing next to him who were just as beautiful as herself.

This man must have lied to them! She had to expose his true colors.

Seeing her sullen expression, Su Qingfeng gave Li** a wink.

"Fine, you're a smart idiot woman, is that alright?"

Lin Shiyin was so angry she wanted to strangle him: "You bastard, you're deliberately trying to drive me crazy!"

Li quickly pulled her aside, laughing and trying to smooth things over: "Shiyin, Brother Su is just joking, don't take it seriously."

He was also puzzled. His cousin was always gentle and soft-spoken, so why did she become so talkative when she was with Su Qingfeng? The way the two of them bickered made it seem like they had known each other for a long time.

Li** couldn't help but glance at Su Qingfeng, then at Lin Shiyin.

Lin Shiyin raised her little fist and gestured at Su Qingfeng: "If you dare call me stupid again, I'll beat you up! Don't underestimate me just because I don't know martial arts; I've practiced a few punches and kicks. One punch is enough to deal with a weak scholar like you!"

"Thank you so much." Su Qingfeng waved her hand, as if she couldn't be bothered to pay attention to her.

Seeing his nonchalant attitude, Lin Shiyin became even angrier. She wanted to rush over but was held back by Li**, so she could only glare fiercely at Su Qingfeng: "Cousin, let go of me! I won't be at peace until I teach this bastard a lesson!"

Li** couldn't do anything about the two of them, thinking that they were probably incompatible and it would be best to see each other less in the future.

He turned to Wanwan and Shi Feixuan and asked, "Brother Su, are these two your confidantes?"

Wanwan and Shi Feixuan, standing to the side, were somewhat surprised. They hadn't expected that the famous Little Flying Dagger Li of the Ming Dynasty would know Su Qingfeng, and that they seemed to have a good relationship.

The sight of a grandmaster of innate martial arts becoming sworn brothers with someone who knew nothing of martial arts left them speechless.

"Brother Li has a good eye." Su Qingfeng smiled and walked to the two women, embracing Wanwan and Shi Feixuan in his arms, one in each arm.

With countless eyes watching from the apricot grove, Su Qingfeng couldn't care less. Since he was going to be killed by this demoness and fairy anyway, he couldn't just let it go unpunished—so he gritted his teeth and grabbed both Wanwan and Shi Feixuan, hoping to gain some advantage first.

Shi Feixuan was embraced by him, and at first she tried to break free, but Su Qingfeng held her tightly. She also felt guilty about forcing Su Qingfeng to escape earlier, so after hesitating for a moment, she stopped moving. But she secretly made up her mind: if he dared to go too far, she would definitely turn on him immediately.

Wanwan didn't flinch at all; instead, she gently leaned into Su Qingfeng's arms. This closeness reminded her of the feeling when he embraced her earlier—warm, reassuring, and strangely comforting. The faint scent of Su Qingfeng lingered around her, and as Wanwan inhaled it, her mind became slightly dazed.

The surrounding crowd was completely stunned. Who could have imagined that three stunning beauties were hidden in this forest, each embraced by the young man? Many martial artists watched with envy, wishing they could step forward and take Su Qingfeng's place.

Just then, a series of announcements rang out:

"The Great Song Dynasty, Hong Qigong, leader of the Southern Beggars' Sect, has arrived!"

Hong Qigong led several of his gang members into the arena and sat down on the left.
