While Xiao Hongyi was filled with concern, a Ninth Peak Great Elder arrived, reporting, “Peak Master, Lin Feng has awakened.”
At these words, Jiang Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly, a few cold lights flashing within.
Cold Qi began to spread from Jiang Lianyue’s body, Lin Mubai’s hands conjured two machetes out of thin air, and the frolicking Xiaobai and Qingning also suddenly stopped in their tracks.
“Gulp.”
The elder swallowed hard after sensing the murderous intent spreading throughout the hall.
“In your eyes, am I not your Master anymore?!” Xiao Hongyi shouted.
Knowing she was on the verge of rage, Jiang Chen quickly said after glaring at Jiang Lianyue and the others, “Master, you misunderstand. We are just happy for Lin Feng.”
“Yes, very happy,” Jiang Lianyue nodded with a frosty face.
“Eldest Senior Brother is right,” Lin Mubai waved his machetes.
“Super happy!” Qingning smiled, her eyes curving like crescent moons.Seeing the three of them express their stance, Xiaobai thought for a moment and also kept nodding his large tiger head.
This scene made Xiao Hongyi even angrier but also brought a sour feeling to her heart.
With her beautiful eyes closed for a long while, she bitterly waved her sleeve, “Enough, all of you leave.”
Jiang Chen obediently left, followed closely by Jiang Lianyue and the others.
As everyone stepped outside the hall, Xiao Hongyi’s almost pleading voice came from behind, “Jiang Chen, don’t disappoint me.”
Jiang Chen remained silent.
He understood Xiao Hongyi’s meaning. In plain terms, she wanted him to keep an eye on Jiang Lianyue and the other two madmen.
After all, at this moment in the Ninth Peak, he was the only disciple who wasn’t mad.
“Master, rest assured, I can’t promise anything else, but I won’t let them mess around before Lin Feng passes the entrance test and truly becomes a disciple of the Ninth Peak,” Jiang Chen replied after a long while.
His words provided some relief to Xiao Hongyi.
It was only for a short time, but at least it was rare for Jiang Chen to be so obedient.
It was worth it, considering she knew Jiang Chen had made a big mistake this time, but she still pleaded with her grandfather to protect Jiang Chen firmly.
After Jiang Chen and the others left, the Great Elder took a moment to compose himself before speaking frankly, “Ninth Peak’s Peak Master, forgive my directness. Although madness among cultivators is not rare, the successive madness of the three true disciples of the Ninth Peak and their change of attitude to obey Jiang Chen and be extremely close to him, I fear…”
“Shut up!”
Xiao Hongyi interrupted coldly, “Not only you, but many Supreme Elders have speculated and secretly investigated. There is nothing abnormal in the bodies of Jiang Lianyue and the others. It is indeed madness caused by their own state of mind!”
The Great Elder nodded and said no more.
“Bring that Lin Feng to see me,” Xiao Hongyi commanded.
“Alright, I will have my disciple go immediately.”
Inside the disciple quarters, “Become a disciple? Sorry, I, Lin Feng, will never become a disciple of the Jiuyan Sect’s Ninth Peak even if I die!”
After waking up and hearing the words of the Ninth Peak disciple in front of him, Lin Feng responded without a second thought.
After several life-and-death crises, he had completely given up on the idea of becoming a disciple of the Jiuyan Sect.
He even suspected that perhaps the Ninth Peak’s Peak Master, his longed-for beautiful master might also be a madwoman!
This Jiuyan Sect’s Ninth Peak is filled with mad people!
Otherwise, why was he so unlucky to encounter three in a row? And all of them wanted his life?
The one who came to summon Lin Feng was a disciple of the Ninth Peak Great Elder, Zhang Hu.
Zhang Hu always felt he was quite unfortunate.
He and Lin Mubai used to be very close and shared everything.
But after Lin Mubai went mad, Zhang Hu was nearly chopped to death by him.
However, upon seeing Lin Feng, Zhang Hu felt he was rather lucky.
At least, he wasn’t as miserable as Lin Feng, who clearly had suffered inhuman torment.
“Lin… Brother Lin. There are rumors that Qingning Senior Sister is acting strangely, is it true or false?” Zhang Hu asked curiously.
He wanted to address Lin Feng as Senior Brother, as everyone knew that if Lin Feng became a disciple of the Ninth Peak, he would definitely be a true disciple.
But since he hadn’t passed the entrance test yet, calling him “Brother Lin” was not wrong.
“Acting strangely? Is that what people here call it?”
Lin Feng was furious and said emphatically, “She’s a madwoman! A complete madwoman! She buried me alive twice!”
“…Ah?”
Zhang Hu was shocked!
On his way here, he had even encountered Qingning, who had greeted him with a smile.
It was really hard to tell!
“Brother Lin, Qingning Senior Sister is known for her beauty and kindness… you didn’t do something outrageous to her, did you?” Zhang Hu pressed.
“Nonsense!” Lin Feng cursed loudly.
If that were really the case, he would have accepted it.
But the problem is that he didn’t do anything and he even saved Qingning’s life!
And what’s the result?
Qingning is helping him meet his end!
“Words are useless. Not a single one of you in Jiuyan Sect’s Ninth Peak is normal! I’m leaving this cursed place right now!”
To avoid further complications, Lin Feng stood up and prepared to leave.
However, upon hearing this, Zhang Hu was instantly displeased.
What does he mean by ‘not a single one is normal’?
Isn’t that including him in the insult?
Moreover, if Lin Feng were to leave just like that, it wouldn’t be easy for Zhang Hu to explain himself.
“Brother Lin, why don’t you meet with the Peak Master first? Whether you stay or leave can be discussed later. The Peak Master won’t force you,” Zhang Hu said again.
“No, no, no,”
Lin Feng shook his head vigorously, like a rattle-drum, “A master who can teach three lunatics is definitely not normal! You’re surely trying to deceive me and make me walk into a trap willingly! I’ve been through this kind of thing before!”
Zhang Hu looked helpless.
Strangely enough, he would definitely get angry if it were someone else saying Xiao Hongyi wasn’t normal right to his face.
But somehow, he just felt that Lin Feng was very amiable, and he couldn’t muster even a hint of anger in his heart.
Seeing that Lin Feng was really about to bolt, he and another Ninth Peak disciple quickly stepped forward, one on each side, and lifted Lin Feng up.
“Brother Lin, please come with me. Otherwise it will be difficult for me to explain,” Zhang Hu said.
“Oh, great! So when deception doesn’t work, you resort to force?”
Lin Feng became angrier and shouted, “I might not be able to beat those lunatics, but do you think I can’t beat you?”
As he spoke, the Seven Purifications Annihilation Technique within him began to circulate, and the black blade in his Purple Mansion also wanted to break free.
But the next second.
“Gurgle—”
His stomach growled incessantly, causing him agony!
It was then that Lin Feng remembered that lunatic Qingning had fed him quite a bit of Zijun Blood Soil, which was still inside him!
Finally, he was still carried by Zhang Hu and the others as he struggled non-stop in severe abdominal pain towards the Ninth Peak’s Cloud Soaring Hall.
Along the way, Qingning appeared with a White Tiger, smiling cheerily, “Senior Brother Zhang, you’re working hard, keep it up!”
Hearing this, Zhang Hu was immediately invigorated!
Qingning was always like that. Although she was the third true disciple of Ninth Peak, she would address those older than her as “Senior Brother or Senior Sister” with that heartwarming smile. She was deeply loved by the elders and disciples of Ninth Peak.
“Senior Sister Qingning, Lin Feng said you’ve gone mad. I don’t believe it for a second! Isn’t that just spreading rumors? Don’t worry, Senior Sister, I’ll handle this matter. Whoever spreads rumors about you in the future, I’ll tear their mouth apart!” Zhang Hu said while standing tall.
“Hehe, thank you, Senior Brother Zhang,” Qingning smiled.
“Of course, of course. But Senior Sister, what do you need the spirit shovel for?”
“Oh, this is… Ah! I can’t tell you now. Eldest Senior Brother is looking for me, I have to run.”
With that, Qingning hid the spirit shovel and rode off quickly on Xiaobai.
Watching her receding figure, Zhang Hu sincerely sighed:
“Senior Sister is still so innocent and pure, even when fleeing from Eldest Senior Brother, her smile remains, infecting all who see her. Hm? Brother Lin, you don’t look so good, is your injury acting up again?”
