“Yi’er, it’s not embarrassing to lose as long as you are able to pull yourself back from your defeat.”

When Sixth Elder Liu Chuanyuan heard what his disciple said, his expression did not change much. He only glanced at Ye Yi and said slowly, “Do you know the part when you embarrassed yourself today?”

Ye Yi looked even more ashamed and whispered, “Please enlighten me, Master.”

“Your biggest problem today is acting too recklessly and speaking too definitively. If there’s any slip-up, you’ll have no room to maneuver.”

Liu Chuanyuan continued expressionlessly, “I asked you to check the situation, to deal with the small problems directly and only report the big problems to me. In the end… what did you do?”

Ye Yi stammered and he could not help himself from blushing. “I thought that Lei Shao and Bai Canghai were too arrogant. The glory of this mission should have belonged to Master, but they not only snatched it away and yet failed to complete the mission. It’s simply…”

“Huh?”

Sixth Elder Liu Chuanyuan suddenly snorted. His expression darkened as he roared, “How many times have I told you? You have to call him First Elder! And that kid Bai Canghai, you should also call him Eldest Brother. You can’t call him by his name like this!”

“But Master, your lineage and the First Elder’s…” Ye Yi was still feeling a little indignant.

“It’s my own business that I don’t get along with Lei Shao. Even if I want to deal with Lei Shao, I still have to follow the rules. Unless… you seize the position of the chief disciple, or your cultivation level breaks through to the Divine Power Realm and you become a new elder in the Thousand Autumn Valley.”

Liu Liuyuan spoke calmly, but his words were filled with unquestionable strength.

In view of that, Ye Yi quickly shut his mouth, not daring to continue.

“However, since that young Mr. Feng is staying in the Thousand Autumn Valley, he can’t expect everything to go his way.”

After a long time, Sixth Elder Liu Chuanyuan placed his hands behind his back and said thoughtfully, “Didn’t he say that he welcomes anyone to challenge him? Then give him what he wants and arrange for more people to challenge him. We must test his true strength.”

“I understand.”

Ye Yi subconsciously agreed, but then he was immediately stunned. He cried out in shock, “Master, even you can’t see the depths of Feng Xia’s abilities?”

“This kid is indeed quite mysterious. He must have some skills.” Liu Chuanyuan nodded without denying it. “Earlier, when he and Lei Shao rushed into the back mountain, Lei Shao deliberately created a large amount of dust. For now, I don’t even know what happened inside.”

Ye Yi could not help feeling shocked.

“Of course, there’s no need to worry too much. Although the Thousand Autumn Valley has declined, we still have many disciples. Particularly among the older disciples, there are many strong ones. It’s just that most of them are busy working on their cultivation.”

“Now, it’s time for them to contribute to the sect.”

Liu Chuanyuan narrowed his eyes and said calmly.

…

“E-East Sea specialty, the lime crab?”

On the other side of the valley.

Qionghua Courtyard, Thousand Autumn Valley.

When the disciple in charge of helping Fengxia and Zhu Youniang heard Zhu Youniang’s request, he appeared devastated. “Xuanwu Kingdom is in the northwest corner of the continent. Besides, it’s not the right season. I won’t be able to find lime crabs…”

Zhu Youniang smacked her lips regretfully. “Tsk, forget it then.”

The girl licked her lips with the bright red tip of her tongue and did not hide her displeasure. “I kept hearing that old man talk about lime crabs from the East Sea. I want to try it now that I’m out. After all, it’s my… Forget it. Since I’m already out, I’ll have a chance to go to the East Sea in the future… What are you looking at?”

‘I’m looking for any signs of surveillance equipment here.’

Feng Xia activated his newly comprehended Sword-Heart and his mind instantly became clear. His Sword-Heart was like a mirror, as if it could reflect all kinds of darkness.

—Although he might just be overthinking, since he had decided to help the Great Elder muddy the waters, there was nothing wrong with being more careful.

At times of this, the Sword-Heart Integration really demonstrated its usefulness. It was practically like a portable radar, scanning the surroundings everywhere it went. It was really so easy.

He walked around the yard a few times, then went inside the room to scan it. He suddenly noticed the figure trailing behind him and turned around curiously. “Youniang, why are you still here?”

“Getting ready to rest, of course.” Zhu Youniang blinked and looked around like Feng Xia, but she found nothing as well. “Didn’t they say we should sleep here?”

Wait a minute!

It was only then that Feng Xia realized there was a problem.

There was only one room in the courtyard that the people of Thousand Autumn Valley had arranged for them!

There was only one bed in the room!

How can two people share a bed?

“This is a real problem…”

Just as he was muttering, he saw Zhu Youniang jump onto the beam easily and hang upside down from it in an unbelievable posture.

Feng Xia said nothing. “…”

He had almost forgotten that this girl was actually a spider!

“What’s the matter? Aren’t you going to sleep?”

After successfully going against Newton’s theory, the oblivious Zhu Youniang winked at Feng Xia. “If you don’t want to sleep, then I won’t sleep as well. I basically don’t need to sleep anyway.”

“No, I’m just thinking about stuff.”

Feng Xia could not be bothered to think too much about it. He sat down on the bed and lay down. One of the few good things about him in the past was that he could sleep anywhere. As long as he was given a place to lie down, he would be able to fall asleep!

As for the fact that there was a girl in the room… What a joke!

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

Zhu Youniang stared at him and he stared back.

Feng Xia was silent for a moment, trying to empty his mind of all thoughts. Still, one thought came unbidden into his mind.

Why doesn’t Zhu Youniang’s dress flip over?!

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

It doesn’t make sense!

Zhu Youniang: “?”

By the time Feng Xia shut down his random thoughts and fell asleep groggily, it was already way past midnight.

The next day.

The hazy sunlight shone through the clouds of Mount Canglan and onto Feng Xia’s face.

After a long while, Feng Xia finally frowned and slowly opened his eyes. He moved his body and instantly felt that something was wrong.
