Collapse Iron: The Five Heroes of the Clouds Won't Let Me Go

Cheng Xiao witnessed the whole affair and agreed with the final punishment.

Afterwards, Danfeng led the surviving clansmen and the Dragon Master to register the deceased clansmen.

"I'm going back to erect a monument for my people. You wait for me!"

Danfeng said something to Chengxiao, and then headed to the Chiming Ancestral Land of Linyuan Realm.

Jingliu looked at Danfeng's figure and felt a sense of empathy.

"She's only ten years old. After this ordeal, she may experience unimaginable growth, just like we did back then."

Cheng Xiao shook his head: "We didn't have that much courage back then. You cried so much back then."

Hearing this, Jingliu pouted in dissatisfaction: "I've never studied martial arts, I'm just a mortal, how can I compare to her, who has been trained since childhood?"

"Yes, yes, yes, my most powerful swordswoman sister."

Cheng Xiao joked that this was supposed to be a time of rest, but such a major event had occurred, and it seemed that Luofu would have to be under martial law for some time.

However, even Cheng Xiao couldn't help but sigh:

"Feng is only ten years old, yet he possesses such great ability and composure. Is this the Dragon Lord? He's kept it from me for quite some time!"

Jing Liu poured a bucket of cold water on things:

"How can you guarantee that 'Feng' is her real name? She is the future Vidya Dragon Lord, a person of extraordinary status!"

As the patriarch of the Wisdom Clan, Long Zun's status is equal to that of the generals of the Immortal Ship, only the power they wield is different, which is why Teng Xiao respects Dan Feng so much.

"Oh, I'll ask her name later, don't worry. Besides, I haven't seen you show her much respect."

In fact, Cheng Xiao had already guessed Feng's name.

"My pride as a swordsman is not enough to make me submit to others!"

A hint of arrogance appeared on Jing Liu's cold face. So what if you have a high status? She doesn't care about that!

She will use this cold, sharp sword to display her flawless talent! To make all the geniuses admire the brilliance of her sword!

The members of the Medicine King's Secret Sect were taken to the Imprisonment Prison for interrogation. The judges of the Ten Kings' Court arranged a secret room to prevent any traitors from rescuing them.

Cheng Xiao waited for about an hour before Dan Feng emerged from the clan's territory. By then, Jing Liu had already left.

She knew the two had something to talk about, so she naturally wouldn't disturb them. Jingliu wouldn't have any sense of caution towards a ten-year-old girl.

Cheng Xiao and Dan Feng walked side by side along the coast, with Dan Feng kicking pebbles as they went.

The atmosphere between the two was somewhat tense, but Cheng Xiao finally broke the deadlock:

"You lied to me, do you know you were wrong?"

"Lie? How did I lie to you!"

"Although we haven't known each other for long, you're using a fake name, which is really disappointing!"

Danfeng was speechless for a moment. She lowered her head and said awkwardly, "Who said I gave a fake name? I just didn't give my surname!"

"My name is Danfeng! Dan as in 'elixir'!"

Cheng Xiao pondered for a moment and nodded: "What a nice name, 'When Will the Maple Leaves Be Found?' Let's consider this our official introduction, shall we?"

"Hmph! Whatever!"

Cheng Xiao could sense that Dan Feng was still recovering from his shock.

"I never imagined that mischievous fellow would become the future Vidyadhara Dragon Lord, don't you think? Dragon Girl?"

Instead of feeling embarrassed at being exposed, Danfeng stood proudly with his hands on his hips:

"Good to know! I was traveling incognito! Now that you know my identity, you'd better watch out! If you don't serve me well, I'll hold you responsible!"

Cheng Xiao immediately waved his hand: "Farewell, I can't serve you."

"Hey hey hey?! Don't go! Who said you could leave! Fine, I won't make you serve me anymore!"

Seeing Cheng Xiao return with a smile, Dan Feng said irritably:

"You dare to be so disrespectful to me! You're the first one!"

"Because to me, you're just a little baby, and no matter how you threaten someone, you're incredibly cute!"

"Cute?! Are you kidding me! I...I am the Dragon Lord!"

Danfeng panicked and tried to project some of the aura and pressure of a Dragon Lord, but in Chengxiao's eyes, he was no different from Haji Dragon Haqi, lacking any real presence.

After the two playfully wrestled for a while, Danfeng's expression turned serious:

"Cheng Xiao, thank you for saving me. Without you... I might have really perished in the Dragon Madness."

"Although my lineage will not be severed after I shed my scales and reincarnate, the personality belonging to [Danfeng] will cease to exist forever..."

"Then why don't you give me a hundred or two hundred thousand in compensation?"

"All you care about is money! Can't you see the atmosphere?"

Danfeng finally lost her temper. If she weren't weak, she would definitely beat Cheng Xiao, this manipulative guy, to his knees!

"Alright, alright, I was wrong. I'll accept your thanks. If I ever run into financial difficulties in the future, you'll have to lend me a hand, Lord Dragon Lord~"

Upon hearing this, Danfeng smiled slightly.

"Cheng Xiao! In the name of the Vidyadhara Dragon Lord, I extend an invitation to you to serve as a top-tier guest elder within my Vidyadhara clan! Both your salary and benefits will be top-notch! What do you say?"

"don't want."

Danfeng's pupils contracted, and he almost couldn't catch his breath.

"You'd better think this over carefully! This is the most generous offer! You just need to be a guest advisor in name only!"

"No. I'm already busy enough. I really don't have the energy to take on any other work, and I don't want to get involved in too much trouble."

"So you're just going to retire from that job at the Earth Balance Bureau?!"

"Yes, I feel very comfortable."

Danfeng was rendered speechless by Chengxiao, and all his plans were disrupted by Chengxiao.

"I don't care! You have to be it!"

"Oh! So you're using your power to bully people? You just said we were friends."

"Since we're friends, why won't you agree?!"

"Since we're friends, why would you cause them trouble?"

"Waaaaah! I'll strangle you!"

Unable to bear it any longer, Danfeng jumped onto Chengxiao and started shaking him, grabbing his neck.

Cheng Xiao rolled his eyes in perfect unison, almost sticking out his tongue.

"Don't worry, if the Vidyadharas need help, I will help them out of respect for you."

"Then why don't you just come and be a guest retainer? You could get such a high salary!"

"Because...when I have too many things to worry about, I'll have to balance more and more things in the future."

Cheng Xiao's answer was somewhat puzzling, but Dan Feng didn't care.

"Don't you want to have anything to do with me? Am I not worthy of your contact?"

"That's not what I meant... um... how should I put it..."

Faced with Danfeng's persistent questioning, Chengxiao could only give a rough explanation of the principle of Yin-Yang balance, and that relationships between people also need to be balanced, otherwise it would be difficult to extricate oneself from the situation.

"I don't want to hear this! I'm only ten years old! I don't understand!"

Danfeng was somewhat stubborn; she stared intently at Chengxiao, as if she had to give her an answer today.

"Just tell me! Do you want to stay with me? Are we friends?"

"Yes."

"That settles it! Don't try to pull any other strings! I only want you!"

Helpless, Cheng Xiao could only pat her head to comfort her.

Perhaps this is just a child's craving; they won't be like this when they grow up.

Cheng Xiao forgot that there was a woman by his side who had never changed since childhood.
