Chapter 566: Not to That Extent

Inside the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace.

By the side of a wide street.

Three figures were blocking Feng Yichen's path.

Feng Yichen stared intently at the frivolous youth in the middle; although his tone was tough, his eyes revealed a wariness that was hard to conceal.

Not long ago.

He had received a task with a very high cost-performance ratio.

The difficulty was low, but the reward was very generous.

He had not expected to be targeted by Su Chao and his two lackeys.

After he left the External Affairs Institute, they followed him all the way and intercepted him.

They wanted to force him to transfer the task to them.

Given Feng Yichen's personality, how could he be willing to suffer such a loss?

But unfortunately, the three of them were too strong.

Not to mention Su Chao, who had already reached the Seventh-Order Will Stage and was ranked on the Heaven Ranking.

Even the two lackeys following him had cultivation levels at the Sixth-Order Will Stage.

Almost on par with him.

Although private fights were prohibited within the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace.

If he wanted to do tasks, he had to go outside.

And outside the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace, private fights between students were not prohibited!

Under these circumstances, being targeted by the three of them was naturally not a good thing.

With no other choice.

Feng Yichen could only bring up the name of Wang Jianqiang.

Upon hearing this name spoken by Feng Yichen.

The frivolous youth and the two people following on his sides all froze at the same time.

Nowadays, among the things Wang Jianqiang had done on the Outer Realm Battlefield, aside from matters regarding the Array Path which were deliberately concealed.

Feats such as saving Linglong, refining Perfect Pills to protect the soldiers of Wenxian City, and almost single-handedly changing the outcome of the battle between Wenxian City and the cultivators from Outside the Realm.

As well as his subsequent public Alchemy for the cultivators of Wenxian City and the admiration he received from them, had long since spread throughout the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace.

The reputation of "Master Wang" had already deeply taken root in the heart of every Dahuang Immortal Palace Student.

Many students took pride in cultivating in the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace during the same period as him.

In terms of prestige.

Throughout the entire Great Wilderness Immortal Palace, among all students.

If Wang Jianqiang claimed to be second, no one dared to claim to be first.

If Feng Yichen really had this connection with Wang Jianqiang.

Su Chao truly would not dare to move against him easily.

It was just that...

Nowadays, there were quite a few students who climbed the social ladder by using Master Wang's name and flaunting Master Wang's prestige outside.

Was what Feng Yichen said necessarily true?

They did indeed know that Feng Yichen had an aunt.

But his aunt had already graduated from the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace long before Master Wang joined it.

And Master Wang.

It was said that he only came from a remote, small region.

Whether before or after joining the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace, no matter how one looked at it, it was impossible for the two to have had any intersection.

Furthermore.

If Wang Jianqiang were truly his uncle-in-law, even a fool would know to immediately cling to such a thick thigh.

The other party could just sprinkle a little bit and it would be enough for him to live in luxury.

Who would still go around bitterly doing tasks?

Was he brain-dead?

Did this Feng Yichen not even consider logic when lying?

Thinking of this.

Su Chao exchanged a glance with his two companions and suddenly started laughing.

"What are you laughing at?"

Feng Yichen heard a thick sense of mockery in the three's laughter.

He frowned and could not help but snort coldly.

The frivolous youth gave a disdainful laugh, "Recently, there have been more and more people in the Immortal Palace flaunting Master Wang's prestige. Originally, I thought only those useless trash with no ability could do such a thing."

"I didn't expect that your face, Feng Yichen, would be this thick as well."

"Tsk tsk, uncle-in-law?"

"Feng Yichen, oh Feng Yichen, to bluff us, you really went all out, even throwing away your shame?"

Feng Yichen frowned, his expression turning ugly.

He actually felt very ashamed regarding the relationship between Wang Jianqiang and his aunt.

He originally did not want to mention it.

But he had been forced by the three of them with absolutely no other way out.

Only then did he steel himself and say it.

The mocking smiles of the three men caused the shame he had been forcibly suppressing to instantly explode and double in intensity.

His face turned beet red.

Seeing this, Su Chao and the other two assumed it was because his lie had been exposed, leading to shame and anger.

The look of mockery on their faces grew even more pronounced.

"Feng Yichen, enough nonsense."

"It's the same thing as before."

"Either hand over the mission you have in your hands, or you had better be careful when you go out to perform missions!"

"Of course, you could also choose not to do the mission and willingly accept the penalty for failure, but as far as I know, although this mission is simple, the penalty for failure is not light."

Su Chao looked at Feng Yichen with a half-smile, the threat in his words undisguised.

Feng Yichen's expression shifted, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Su Chao, I am not lying to you; Wang Jianqiang really is my uncle-in-law."

"Are you really unwilling to even give him some face?"

For some reason.

After saying it for the second time, the sense of shame in Feng Yichen's heart actually faded quite a bit.

His expression also became much calmer.

"Heh, Feng Yichen, that's enough."

"I've seen plenty of people who use Master Wang's name to intimidate others, but this is the first time I've seen someone like you, who still has the nerve to continue even after being exposed."

On both sides of Su Chao, the two Sixth-Order Will-Level Cultivators wore looks of disdain.

Su Chao did not speak.

He looked at Feng Yichen's serious expression and frowned.

He considered himself to have some understanding of Feng Yichen's character.

The other party's previous act of using Master Wang's name had already exceeded his expectations.

Given the other party's character, it shouldn't be possible for him to continue such a humiliating act.

When things are abnormal, there must be a demon!

Thinking of this.

His heart skipped a beat.

Although all signs indicated that Feng Yichen's words were likely not true.

But when it concerned Master Wang, he dared not be careless.

He pondered for a moment.

The mockery and arrogance in his expression faded significantly.

He looked at Feng Yichen and said in as calm a tone as possible, "I, Su Chao, naturally must give Master Wang face."

"If you can prove your relationship with Master Wang, I naturally will not make things difficult for you."

"If you cannot, then I will certainly not be played for a fool by you."

Feng Yichen frowned, "How do you want me to prove it?"

Su Chao smiled faintly, "If Master Wang is truly your uncle-in-law, you surely have a way to contact him, right?"

"Now, contact Master Wang immediately."

"If you can reach him, I will let you go at once."

"Otherwise..."

As he said this, a cold sneer appeared on his face.

Hearing Su Chao's words.

Feng Yichen's expression stiffened.

When his aunt came to the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace before, she had indeed suggested that he keep Wang Jianqiang's contact information.

But at that time, he had proudly refused.

Therefore.

He did not have Wang Jianqiang's contact information.

"What? You don't happen to not have Master Wang's contact information, do you?"

Upon noticing Feng Yichen's expression, Su Chao sneered.

"In other words, you are lying to us?"

Feng Yichen's expression faltered.

He opened his mouth.

Just as he was unsure how to respond, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"He is indeed lying to you."

"Xinran and I actually haven't developed to that stage yet."
