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

"Hahaha! Cheng Xiao! I'm back!"

The language he heard was vulgar and offensive, which made Danfeng, who had been taught etiquette since childhood, frown.

But considering that this person is the current sword master with considerable strength, it must mean that he is also a generous and forthright person.

It's truly remarkable that she was able to raise the gentle-natured Cheng Xiao.

Just as Danfeng thought of this, he thought of the aloof Jingliu.

[No, both of them are Yaofeng's apprentices, but why don't either of them resemble her?]

Danfeng could only attribute this to the maverick nature of a genius.

Cheng Xiao was in a lot of pain and frantically tried to signal Yao Feng with his eyes.

[Hey! Didn't you see there's someone next to me?! What about Master's dignity and reputation?! Get your gear ready!]

Yao Feng immediately noticed Dan Feng as well; she naturally recognized this Dragon Lord of Luofu.

Realizing his slip of the tongue, Yao Feng quickly composed himself.

"It's been a long time, my good disciple. Where's Jing Liu?"

"She had many military duties and rarely slacked off."

"Alright, don't let me delay the Cloud Cavalry training."

Yao Feng spoke eloquently while subtly observing with his eyes.

[What's going on? You didn't say the Dragon Lord would be coming too!]

Oh dear, I forgot to mention!

[You made me look bad! I'll punish you ten times when we get back!]

This could be fatal!

[You decide what to do!]

The master and apprentice exchanged mysterious brainwaves through their eyes, making Jing Yuan think they were watching a traditional opera.

Yao Feng clasped his hands in a fist salute to Dan Feng and said:

"I never expected that Mr. Yinyue would come to pick me up; it is truly an honor!"

"No need to be so polite. Cheng Xiao and I are good friends, and as his master, you naturally deserve my respect as well."

Yao Feng glanced at Cheng Xiao in surprise. This kid has such a good relationship with the Dragon Lord? I'll have to ask him about it when we get back!

"Greetings, Grandmaster!"

Xiao Jingyuan walked forward enthusiastically, and Yao Feng was overjoyed.

"Oh my, this must be my grand-disciple! He's quite the handsome young man!"

Yao Feng doesn't care about the standards for accepting disciples in the Mirror Stream. Since he has accepted this disciple, he will accept him no matter how mediocre his talent is.

"Here! This is a gift from your grandmaster."

Yao Feng took out a flying sword, which was very similar to the one Jing Liu had used before.

"Thank you, Grandmaster!"

Although this flying sword is just a common craft of the Craftsmanship Department, it is superior because it meets Jing Yuan's current needs.

"Your master, Jingliu, is a stubborn mule. How could he make his disciple train to the point of death every day? Just throw this sword away!"

Yao Feng ruffled Jing Yuan's hair:

"When we get back, your master will teach you a few sword techniques!"

"good!"

The atmosphere was harmonious and joyful, a true testament to the deep bond between master and disciple.

On the way back, Yao Feng inquired about Dan Feng and Cheng Xiao, intentionally or unintentionally.

Danfeng didn't hide anything and immediately revealed that she was the one who had previously spent three million to buy the house.

Yao Feng: "!!!"

I thought I would have to buy a new house when I returned to Luofu, but it seems that this Dragon Lord not only spent a lot of money to buy his own house, but also still lets Cheng Xiao live there.

What's the difference between this and keeping a mistress in a gilded cage?!

Could it be that my good apprentice has sold his goods? He doesn't seem like that kind of person.

Although this Wisdom Dragon Lord is very rich, good-looking, and powerful, Cheng Xiao has no reason to submit to her, right?

But Yao Feng couldn't find any other reason after thinking it over and over, and could only assume that Cheng Xiao had sacrificed himself.

My dear disciple! Your master failed to return to Luofu to protect you! Now you are forced to survive in this way!

Cheng Xiao was unaware that Yao Feng's thoughts had already wandered far away; he was focused solely on going to the market to buy groceries.

As Danfeng watched Chengxiao picking through the vegetables, she recalled the time they used to shop for vegetables together.

From Yao Feng's perspective, Dan Feng's gaze towards Cheng Xiao was practically dripping with longing!

"Damn it! She must have found my apprentice to be exceptionally virtuous and reliable. A strong woman like her, who can't even take care of herself, would never resist such temptation!"

Yao Feng's mind wandered again. The thought that her disciple had been targeted by the lustful Dragon Lord and then subdued by the Dragon Lord's power made her feel uneasy.

[Jingliu! What are you still doing in the Cloud Cavalry! The Chengxiao you care about is about to become someone else's sex toy!]

Jing Yuan looked at Yao Feng with a puzzled expression. Why was his master's body always trembling?

Lost in their own thoughts, the group returned to the villa. Even with Yaofeng's presence, the house didn't feel crowded.

"Master, I'll go and vacate a guest room for you. I've also bought toiletries. If you feel cold tonight, I'll add an extra blanket for you."

"Uncle-Master! Let me help too!"

Cheng Xiao and Jing Yuan both left, leaving only Yao Feng and Dan Feng, each with their own thoughts.

However, Danfeng was clearly more nervous, after all, Yaofeng was Chengxiao's master and his only elder, so it was important to make a good impression.

The atmosphere in the living room began to freeze, and finally Yaofeng spoke first.

"Lord Yinyue, what is your relationship with my disciple?"

"Sword Master Yaofeng, we're friends, aren't we?"

"Heh, do you even believe what you're saying?"

Yao Feng stared intently at Dan Feng, making Dan Feng, who held a high position, feel a strong sense of pressure for the first time.

"I...I'm telling the truth! Otherwise, what other relationship could Cheng Xiao and I have?"

"I think you want more than just to be friends."

"This...I..." Danfeng began to stammer, his brain already somewhat blank, the more urgent he became, the less he could think of anything to say.

But the higher-ups were quickly met with a bucket of cold water.

Yao Feng said calmly:

"The Wisdom Clan and the Immortal Boat People can fall in love, but it will not end well."

Danfeng instantly calmed down, all the beautiful fantasies in her heart were shattered.

"Perhaps, given Cheng Xiao's personality, he'll wait for you to start over time, but can you guarantee your original intentions won't change?"

"This is more like a kind of substitute literature. The lifespan of the Immortal Ship People and the Wisdom Clan has already determined that you will ultimately be a tragedy."

"Besides, aren't the Vidyadharas unable to reproduce sexually? Even if you love each other, you can't even have a child. After your reincarnation, this relationship will ultimately be nothing more than a rootless duckweed."

Seeing Danfeng's spirits begin to wane, Yaofeng felt somewhat satisfied.

This at least shows that Danfeng has considered this matter and is aware of it.

【Jingliu, Jingliu, your master has already helped you so much, you must live up to his expectations!】

Danfeng didn't want to express the complex emotions in her heart. Perhaps it was attachment, perhaps it was love, but it could also be an obsession after traumatic stress.

She originally intended to stay by Cheng Xiao's side as a friend in this life, but when she really had to face this question, how should she respond?

If we're just friends, and we part ways amicably in this lifetime, she's not content with that; she feels the relationship is too shallow and lacks depth.

As a lover, the Chiming Clan is unable to reproduce, and their lifespan is shorter than that of the Immortal Boat Clan. Even after reincarnation, she will no longer be herself, and Danfeng does not want Chengxiao to wait in vain.

Danfeng's heart was in turmoil, and she bit her fingernails in frustration.

"I don't know, and I don't want to know, but if I'm certain of my feelings, I won't let myself regret it!"
