Living between the two realms, I seek enlightenment in the mortal world.

The situation at Black Wind Stronghold made Chen Feng frown.

That's no longer just brutal.

It is evil.

"Xiao Guo, have you become an apprentice?" Sun Yuemei finally got to the point.

"No!" Jiang Xiaoguo glanced at Chen Feng and shook her head.

Chen Feng simply ate his meal quietly.

It's really fragrant.

It tastes great.

"If they really don't, then we're in big trouble." Sun Yuemei's face was full of worry. "If the two leaders of Black Wind Stronghold come, no, if even one of them comes, they might slaughter our Fierce Tiger Gang."

"What should we do?" Jiang Xiaoguo asked in a panic.

Yet, a surprising calm lingered in the depths of her eyes, tinged with a hint of scrutiny.

"There's only one way to save Wang Hu, Cuihua, Xiaofeng, and everyone in our Fierce Tiger Gang," Sun Yuemei said, her voice rising a few decibels with a hint of anticipation. "Entering the Ximen family will grant you guidance from a grandmaster, provide you with secret techniques and techniques, supply you with precious elixirs, and even have divine weapons custom-made for you. Once you enter the Ximen family, not only will you soar to great heights, but you'll also be able to protect Xiaofeng, Cuihua, and the entire Fierce Tiger Gang."

Jiang Xiaoguo's eyebrows twitched, and she was about to speak when Chen Feng spoke first: "Aunt Sun, in what capacity will Xiaoguo go?"

"The second young master of the Ximen family is handsome and resolute, devoting himself entirely to martial arts. He has already reached the mid-stage of the Innate Realm, making him a true martial arts genius. Because of his cultivation, he has remained unmarried." Sun Yuemei said thoughtfully, "Xiao Guo is also a martial arts genius, sharing the same interests; the second young master is handsome, and Xiao Guo is beautiful—a perfect match. Xiao Guo could marry him; it would be a match made in heaven."

"Master Sun, what do you take me for?" Chen Feng's face turned cold.

"What do you take me for?" Jiang Xiaoguo suddenly stood up, her face full of anger, her slightly narrowed eyes flashing with a hint of murderous intent.

"Isn't this all about your future?" Sun Yuemei smiled awkwardly and didn't continue.

After sitting for a while, she took her leave, citing the need to attend to some official business.

"Brother!" Jiang Xiaoguo looked over.

"Let's eat first." Chen Feng pointed with his chopsticks. "We can't waste food."

After breakfast, the two left.

The disciples in the gang looked at them differently now. No, when they looked at Jiang Xiaoguo, many of them even bowed and greeted her.

Spring Breeze Garden.

Close the door.

Jiang Xiaoguo couldn't help but ask, "Brother, I'm afraid the Ximen family has their eyes on me, and Sun Yuemei won't let this go either. What should we do?"

"Don't worry about it," Chen Feng said calmly. "There's bound to be some trouble coming up, but it doesn't matter. Just focus on your cultivation."

"Brother, we have a deal with the old gang leader. What if she uses that as leverage?" Jiang Xiaoguo pressed, "And what about past favors, etc."

"Everything that needed to be repaid last night has been repaid. Xiao Guo, remember, after last night, our deal with the old gang leader was complete. We don't owe him anything, nor do we owe the Fierce Tiger Gang anything," Chen Feng suddenly laughed. "After Sun Yuemei's suggestion just now, we should have actually left the Fierce Tiger Gang. The reason we haven't left yet, guess what my plans are?"

"Plans?" Jiang Xiaoguo pondered. "Let them make a fool of themselves, and then we'll have the moral high ground? No, brother, you wouldn't care about that. Staying might mean facing pleas from those close to us, schemes from the Ximen family, or even malice from within the gang. Brother, I really can't see any benefit in staying."

"The most obvious point is that if you leave, you'll be harassed by all sides. Staying will at least be much quieter. As for deeper plans?" Chen Feng smiled, "You'll have to think about it carefully, really think it through."

He did not explain.

Jiang Xiaoguo did not press the matter further.

They each cultivated their own skills.

When the sun was high in the sky, Sister-in-law Cuihua came and said that a girl named Ye Ling had come to visit.

"It's her, brother. Should we invite her in?" Jiang Xiaoguo thought of the woman who suddenly appeared when she broke through that night.

"We mustn't be impolite, please come in," Chen Feng replied.

Before long, Sister Cuihua led in a slender girl with bangs and big eyes.

She was young and had a playful air about her.

It was Ye Ling.

Upon seeing Xiaoguo, her eyes lit up, and she quickly walked over, taking Xiaoguo's left hand: "Little sister Xiaoguo, you turned the tide last night and displayed incredible power. I'm truly envious of you."

She automatically ignored Chen Feng.

Xiao Guo struggled, but couldn't break free for a while.

She gave an awkward yet polite smile: "That wasn't a display of superhuman strength, it was a desperate struggle for survival."

She also circulated her inner energy in case of unforeseen circumstances.

Chen Feng glanced at it twice and continued his cultivation silently.

But his ears perked up.

Ye Ling meant no harm.

She chattered away like a lark, which made Xiao Guo lower her guard.

The two chatted happily.

Before long, they got to the Ximen family.

"That family, not a single one of them is good; they're all cunning and vicious." Ye Ling spoke with great disdain about the Ximen family. "Little Guo, the Fierce Tiger Gang is a force secretly supported by the Ximen family. Now that you've displayed unparalleled talent, they've definitely set their sights on you. You must be careful in the future, or you'll suffer."

"Thank you, Sister Ye." Jiang Xiaoguo appropriately showed a worried expression. "Sister Ye, could you tell me more about the Ximen family's situation?"

"Of course." Ye Ling was very excited and told her everything she knew.

She didn't leave until almost noon.

He glanced around the courtyard, a look of disappointment flashing across his face.

"Little Fruit, can I come see you again in the future?"

"Anytime is fine."

"Hehe, that's great! You're also welcome to visit our Ye family. If you come, I'll make sure you have a warm welcome."

Ye Ling took her leave.

The courtyard returned to peace.

Jiang Xiaoguo approached Chen Feng and whispered, "Brother, I have a feeling she came here with some kind of purpose?"

Tell me!

"First, they told me that the Ximen family was dangerous and that we should be on guard; second, they wanted to recruit me."

"She's smart; she didn't say it directly, which saved her from the awkwardness of rejection. By leaving room for maneuver, she can maintain regular contact in the future, and even appear as a friend when we're in danger, thus recruiting us."

"Hehe, that's what I think too."

"As expected of my little Guo, she's so smart!"

Xiao Guo smiled shyly, then revealed a proud expression.

"Brother, what do you think? Should I date her?"

"Yes, that's fine. She doesn't mean any harm, and even if she did, I'm not afraid."

For the next period of time, the Tiger Gang remained very calm.

The old gang leader has been buried.

Sun Yuemei became the acting gang leader.

Lu Wen became the young gang leader.

Zhang Fu is the head housekeeper.

Jiang Xiaoguo is a guest elder.

As for Chen Feng? He was automatically ignored.

He didn't care and continued to cultivate quietly.

Although he didn't make a breakthrough in mental power, he became more adept at using it.

Its destructive power is astonishing.

Chen Feng was also trying to multitask, controlling two weapons at the same time, but unfortunately, without specific techniques, his progress was slow.

He mainly practiced the Spring Rain Technique, absorbing the power of heaven and earth to further strengthen his true qi. At the same time, he also discovered another benefit.

When the power of heaven and earth enters the body, a portion of it is also retained by the cells, passively tempering the physique.

Chen Feng felt his strength slowly increasing and his physique quietly transforming.

In addition, he also attached great importance to the Spring Breeze Sword Technique and the Spring Breeze Step.

Under Xiao Guo's guidance, he has already mastered the basics of the Eighteen Swords of Gale.

Overall progress is encouraging.

That afternoon.

"It's been seventeen days since we arrived here. We'll return to Earth in three more days, just in time to participate in the championship battle."

"The championship match... with my current strength, I'm sure I'll make a name for myself. I wonder if I can even break into the top ten?"

As Chen Feng was thinking, he saw Jiang Xiaoguo walk in from outside, her eyes filled with murderous intent and a hint of worry.

"What's wrong?" he asked curiously.

"Brother! Sun Yuemei just called me over, and Lu Wen and Zhang Fu were there too. They said the Black Wind Stronghold people have arrived and are going to attack the Fierce Tiger Gang, threatening to kill me. The Liang family will also be involved, preparing to capture me alive for revenge." Jiang Xiaoguo suppressed her anger. "Then they mentioned you, saying you might be the first to be killed, threatening to make me accept the Ximen family's offer of recruitment. Even, even that son of a bitch Lu Wen said you, brother, are a sickly person, and you might die peacefully in your sleep any day now. That's a blatant threat. Just now, I almost couldn't resist skinning her alive."

She unleashed an unprecedentedly intense killing intent.

"I had some idea of ​​it, but I didn't expect it to happen so quickly. Oh well, what's meant to happen will happen." Chen Feng looked at Xiao Guo and suddenly said seriously, "Do you want to take her place?"

"What?" Jiang Xiaoguo was shocked and didn't react for a moment.
