Chapter 470: Looks Like I Came at a Bad Time (First Update)

"As long as Senior Brother is here, the two of us will surely shine brilliantly at the tournament!"

"Hehe, Junior Sister is too kind; when the time comes, I will still have to rely on your care, Junior Sister."

In the Wanhua Valley procession, Li Fengyao walked at the very front, chatting and laughing with Fan Zhuying beside her.

"Senior Brother, don't be so modest! Senior Brother has already mastered the Flower Blossom Seal; in a place with restricted space like the tournament ring, the lethality of this secret technique will be many times more powerful than before!"

Fan Zhuying wore a look of adoration, wishing she could press her entire body against Li Fengyao.

Young girls are mostly sentimental.

As a youth with outstanding strength, excellent appearance, and an astonishing family background, Li Fengyao could be called the highest-quality youth among high-quality youths.

Moreover, on the surface, she was the only "male disciple" of Wanhua Valley, having long since become the ideal lover in the hearts of the younger generation of Wanhua Valley, though many were deterred by the barrier of status, daring only to hide these feelings in their hearts, not daring to reveal them easily.

Fan Zhuying was different; she held a special status in Wanhua Valley and was inferior to no one in terms of family background, so she bravely revealed her feelings.

After seeing Li Fengyao for the first time a few years ago, she fell in love at first sight and had been pestering him ever since, becoming his most steadfast little follower.

As for the Junior Sister's enthusiasm, Li Fengyao neither deliberately distanced herself nor intentionally drew close, never overstepping boundaries, pretending to understand nothing, and playing the part of a good Senior Brother.

Come to think of it, even if Li Fengyao had the heart to overstep, she lacked the ability...

Water-ground tofu has no future, hand-ground is also lacking, and machine-ground is even more devoid of soul.

Yet this appearance of feigned refusal actually stirred up Fan Zhuying's competitive spirit, making her like him even more, constantly finding ways to show her affection.

Being able to participate in the Immortal Sect Grand Competition with Li Fengyao this time was something Fan Zhuying had gone to discuss with the Valley Master alone, begging for a long time before she succeeded.

Although learning halfway that Venerable Peony was also in the group made Fan Zhuying feel a bit worried, since Li Fengyao had returned safe and sound at this moment, the stone in her heart had finally fallen.

The Venerable must have given up on that terrifying idea, right?

Thinking this secretly in her heart, Fan Zhuying thought of Gu Manhua's failure to return and muttered somewhat puzzledly: "I just don't know where the Venerable went? Has she really entered the Inner Domain ahead of time?"

After Gu Manhua let them leave, she never returned, nor did she leave any message, just disappearing like that.

Did she really enter the Inner Domain ahead of time as everyone speculated?

"Even if not, perhaps she has already returned early?" A disciple took up the conversation, shaking her head indifferently, "The Venerable is powerful; I imagine no one here can pose a threat to her."

"Mm, that's true; the Venerable might have just grown tired of it."

"Very likely..."

Li Fengyao listened to their conversation and chuckled inwardly, offering no comment.

On the contrary, her mind recalled what Jing Yueqin had casually told her when they swapped identities back.

"Oh right, that so-called Venerable you said might have malicious intent toward you, you don't need to worry anymore."

"Many thanks for the help, Senior Sister. Did Senior Sister give her a warning?"

"No, that's too much trouble." Jing Yueqin waved her hand casually and changed her clothes, "I just slaughtered her directly; you don't have to worry about her at all anymore."

"Uh, ah?"

That person's nonchalant manner was truly... absurd.

In her words, the death of a Formless Great Power seemed to have no difficulty at all, as easy as casually stepping on an ant by the roadside.

This did not scare Li Fengyao, but it made her grit her teeth in secret, knowing that the difficulty of getting back at her one day had become even greater.

"However, even if the difficulty is great, it doesn't matter; one day it will be my victory..." Li Fengyao was thinking silently in her heart just as she passed through the tunnel of Heaven Gate.

Then, just as the others looked up at the mountain gate of the Sword Casting Hut, her gaze drifted in another direction by some strange twist of fate.

There, at a certain spot at the foot of the Sword Casting Hut, a pair of young man and woman had their lips pressed together.

It was a very beautiful scene, and the atmosphere between the two was wonderful.

But after seeing this scene, Li Fengyao's expression froze uncontrollably, because she was very familiar with both that man and that woman.

The woman was her younger sister.

The man was her man.

"Cough, cough-cough." Li Fengyao clenched her fist, blocking her mouth, and couldn't help but cough lightly, "Cough... Hmph!"

Honestly, Li Fengyao had not felt such anger in many years.

Even when Li Qiushui was competing with her for the imperial throne, she had never been this angry.

You can fight for the throne, but you cannot fight me for a man!

"Hm? Senior Brother, what's wrong?" Fan Zhuying had been focused on her beloved, and at this moment, she noticed the change in Li Fengyao's mood and asked with concern.

And before Li Fengyao could answer, the young girl had already turned her head to look over there, also seeing that beautiful scene.

"Those two..."

Fan Zhuying did not know Ren Yidao; they happened to have had no interaction, but this did not affect her recognizing Li Qiushui.

Her beloved's younger sister, the Ninth Princess of Beigan, and also her Senior Brother's greatest rival.

However, unlike the annoyance that surfaced in Li Fengyao's heart, all that welled up in hers was envy for this scene.

How nice!

It is truly enviable.

After seeing this scene, the hostility Fan Zhuying felt toward Li Qiushui in her heart dropped significantly.

"So, she has a Dao companion!"

Looking at that woman who was previously cold and emotionless, now having such shyness like a little woman on her face, she felt like laughing.

"I thought a cold woman like her couldn't find a Dao companion, heh, but in the end, isn't it the same?"

"And, since she can be so unbridled, then Senior Brother has no reason to refuse..."

She was thinking shyly, turning her head to look at Li Fengyao, only to find that he had actually walked straight over.

Hm?

Walked over!?

Fan Zhuying:???

Wait!

"Se, Senior Brother!"

Fan Zhuying could not help but call out in a low voice, wanting to stop Li Fengyao from acting impulsively.

What are you going over there for?

Look at the scene!

Aren't you disturbing them?

Even if you are biological siblings, isn't this a bit inappropriate?

It is very inappropriate!

But Li Fengyao did not care about any of this; he just strode over without any concealment, naturally greeting them as he approached.

"Daoist Ren! I didn't expect to run into you here again!"

His voice was brimming with enthusiasm, making one feel his joy, and it would not have been out of place in any situation... except for this one.

!!!

Upon hearing this abrupt voice, Li Qiushui, who had been immersed in the moment, was startled, leaping up and covering her face as she turned away, not daring to look at the newcomer.

This was the first time Li Qiushui had taken the initiative, and she had never expected to encounter such an awkward situation.

In her panic, she did not even recognize that it was her second brother's voice.

"Ahem! Your Highness Feng Yao..."

Ren Yidao, who also felt extremely surprised, was much calmer than Li Qiushui; he remained seated on the ground.

His facial muscles twitched, and he licked his lips, smiling somewhat dryly at Li Fengyao, his smile tinged with annoyance.

What kind of stunt are you trying to pull?

You're coming over here to stir up trouble now, aren't you?

Was I too gentle with you in the carriage earlier?

Facing Ren Yidao's questioning gaze, Li Fengyao smiled as if he hadn't noticed, pretending to look at Li Qiushui's back in surprise.

"Ah! I was so focused on seeing Daoist Ren just now that I didn't realize there was another fellow Daoist here."

"My apologies, my apologies. It seems I have come at a bad time? I hope you two will not blame me for interrupting the Daoist's good deed!"

Fan Zhuying had originally been worried that her Senior Brother would directly clash with Li Qiushui, but she hadn't expected him to go find that man instead; hearing this, she glanced at Li Fengyao with a strange expression.

However, what is Senior Brother saying... he didn't see her?

Are you sure?

And that wasn't the end of it; Li Fengyao continued his offensive, asking strangely:

"Speaking of which, why is it not that Miss Feng accompanying Daoist Ren this time?"

"Miss Feng?"

Li Qiushui had recovered by this point; she calmly turned her head to look at Ren Yidao, her tone somewhat unfriendly, "Which Miss Feng? Why have I never heard you mention her?"

Ren Yidao, being stared at by both of them, blinked rapidly, also bewildered.

"Ah, ah? What Feng..."

Wait!

Which Miss Feng are you talking about?

How come I don't know about this?

You need to make yourself clear!

What Feng...

Just as Ren Yidao was feeling confused, he suddenly saw the playfulness in Li Fengyao's eyes and realized.

Oh, it's you!

The 'Feng' in Feng Yao, right?
