Daily News: You promised yourself to be a fisherman, but you've become a martial arts god?

Faced with Yi Jieyi's sincere invitation, Ruan Hanyuan was at a loss for words and looked at Li Nian for advice.

She had been recruiting members for the Ruan family at the Qinyun Martial Arts School and was well-versed in interpersonal relationships. She knew that Yi Jieyi was only willing to recruit her because she was giving Li Nian face.

Li Nian understood Ruan Hanyuan's meaning and said:

"Junior Sister Ruan, since Jieyi naturally needs guards, and you are suitable, you can go and work for Jieyi."

"Going to the Yi family will be safer for you, and it will also help your future cultivation."

"I'll listen to Senior Brother Li."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Hanyuan nodded, then bowed deeply to Yi Jieyi in gratitude:

"Thank you, Miss. I'm happy to serve you!"

"Miss Ruan, you're too kind."

Yi Jieyi helped Ruan Hanyuan up and said:

"Miss Ruan is Brother Li's junior sister, so we're all one of your own. You're older than me and my sister, so from now on we'll call you Sister Han Yuan."

"My name is Yi Jieyi, and this is my younger sister, Yi Mingxi. From now on, you can call us Jieyi and Mingxi."

"Sister Han Yuan."

"Sister Han Yuan."

Yi Mingxi continued.

"this..."

Ruan Hanyuan was both shocked and surprised by Yi Jieyi's kindness.

To become a direct descendant of the family who is being groomed by the family, one must be exceptionally intelligent. She couldn't believe that Yi Jieyi and Yi Mingxi were so kind to her, treating her, an ordinary member of the Ruan family, as a sister.

After a moment, she understood.

It's Li Nian!

Moreover, only when Yi Jieyi and Yi Mingxi have extremely deep feelings for Li Nian would they extend that affection to her and treat her so well!

Thinking of this, Ruan Hanyuan felt relieved, and her beautiful eyes became firm as she said:

"Yui-chan, Aki-chan, I will protect you with my life from now on!"

Clang clang clang—

At that moment, three deafening gong sounds came from the direction of the square.

Yi Jieyi looked at Li Nian and said:

"Brother Li, the martial arts banquet is about to begin, let's go over there."

"good!"

Li Nian nodded.

The four walked towards the square.

Li Nian was from the Qinyun Martial Arts School faction, while Yi Jieyi and Yi Mingxi were from the Yi family. After returning to the square, Yi Jieyi and the others congratulated him before parting ways.

Ruan Hanyuan went to Yi Jieyi and the others, since she was now Yi Jieyi and Yi Mingxi's personal bodyguard and could not leave her post without attending the martial arts banquet.

"Senior Brother Li!"

Just as Li Nian was heading towards the Qinyun Martial Arts School, a young male voice came from behind.

Turning my head, I saw it was Wu Hong!

Standing next to Wu Hong were Wu Changfeng, Bai Fengjia, and Meng Suxi, the fifth senior sister whom they had met in the square before.

Meng Suxi was Bai Fengjia's bodyguard, so it was normal for her to follow Bai Fengjia after she arrived at the square.

As for Wu Changfeng...

He had heard Wu Changfeng say he was going to attend the martial arts banquet during their meeting on Crescent Moon Island, so it wasn't surprising that they met here.

Upon seeing Li Nian, Wu Changfeng strode forward, clasped his hands in greeting, and said:

"Brother Li, it's been a long time. How have you been?"

"Thanks to Brother Wu, things have been going well lately. I wonder how Brother Wu is doing?"

"Having beautiful women by my side is certainly wonderful!"

In response to Li Nian's question, Wu Changfeng answered readily.

As he spoke, he looked at Bai Fengjia, who immediately blushed.

Seeing this, Li Nian couldn't help but marvel at the power of fate.

The usually aloof and icy beauty Bai Fengjia becomes a shy and demure beauty in front of Wu Changfeng.

"Wu Lang, the martial arts banquet is about to begin. Let's go to the Ruan family's seats to prepare."

Bai Fengjia stepped forward, her cold phoenix eyes sweeping over Li Nian, and spoke affectionately to Wu Changfeng.

Wu Changfeng nodded and clasped his hands in a fist salute to Li Nian, saying:

"Brother Li, farewell for now. Let's have a drink after the martial arts banquet and have a good chat!"

"good!"

Li Nian responded with a fist and palm salute.

Wu Hong stepped forward and said:

"Brother, you and Miss Bai go to the Ruan family. I'm going to the Qinyun Martial Arts School."

"what ever."

Wu Changfeng nodded.

Upon hearing this, Wu Hongda breathed a sigh of relief.

Being by Wu Changfeng's side was too much of a hardship. Being caught between Wu Changfeng and Bai Fengjia like a kerosene lamp, and always being criticized by Wu Changfeng for his slow progress in martial arts, he was not happy at all.

Beside her, Bai Fengjia said to Meng Suxi:

"Xiao Meng, you can go to Qinyun Martial Arts School too. You're on leave today."

"Miss Xie!"

Meng Suxi beamed with joy.

After saying this, Bai Fengjia and Wu Changfeng left.

After the two had walked away, Meng Suxi sighed:

"Miss Bai is so kind. She's been giving me days off so often lately that I feel a little embarrassed about the amount I'm receiving this month."

"Senior sister, Miss Bai doesn't want you to be the kerosene lamp."

Wu Hong replied without hesitation.

Meng Suxi asked, puzzled:

What does "kerosene lamp" mean?

It means that you're caught in the middle while others are dating.

"So, we're both kerosene lamps?"

"Indeed!"

Meng Suxi nodded knowingly.

Because Wu Changfeng and Bai Fengjia had spent many days together, Meng Suxi and Wu Hong often spent time together and became familiar with each other.

Wu Hong looked at Li Nian with excitement and said:

"Senior Brother Li, I've heard about your exploits on Crescent Moon Island. Congratulations on reaching the Tendon Refining stage and slaying Ge Xiong, the seventh leader of Shenyuan Village!"

"Thanks to Junior Brother Wu."

Li Nian said modestly.

After the last battle on Crescent Moon Island, when the fifth leader of Shenyuan Village, Fanjiangjiao, escaped after slaughtering Yue, the Yi family no longer concealed Li Nian's achievements, including the killing of Liu Tanqi that day.

Therefore, it was normal for Wu Hong to know what he had done.

After saying that, Li Nian looked at Wu Hong seriously and asked in surprise:

"You've already mastered blood cultivation; you'll be cultivating bones soon!"

"It's piled up with elixirs."

Wu Hong scratched his head shyly.

During this time, I have been following Wu Changfeng and have been fed a lot of pills, which is why I have grown so fast.

Li Niandao:

"If your comprehension is poor, even elixirs won't help you increase your cultivation level."

He knew that this was due to the fate of Wu Changfeng.

The Fate Child will reduce the obstacles that hinder the cultivation breakthroughs of those close to them.

However, he could not reveal that he knew Wu Changfeng was a man of destiny.

He hadn't figured out Wu Changfeng's temper yet. If the other party misunderstood that he was deliberately approaching him because he knew that Wu Changfeng was a chosen one, he would inevitably anger the other party.

It seems that Wu Changfeng is a good friend, so there's no need to ruin our relationship.

Lost in thought, Meng Suxi grumbled:

"It's one thing for a junior to surpass me, but now a second junior has surpassed me too."

"Being a senior sister is really tough!"

As he spoke, he glared at Li Nian and Wu Hong, and scolded them:

"What are you looking at? What are you doing so fast!"

"Especially you, Junior Brother Li, you're the fastest!"

"Super Boy, I'm ignoring you!"

After saying that, Meng Suxi glared at Li Nian and left grumbling.

Li Nian shrugged helplessly and looked at Wu Hong:

Am I fast?

"Senior brother is indeed fast!"

Wu Hong nodded earnestly.

As he spoke, a man strode confidently onto the main arena, his fierce eyes sweeping over everyone in the vast plaza, his voice carrying a powerful inner force:

"The Mountain-Shaking Martial Feast, now begins!"

"Someone, draw lots!"
