Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

Composing himself, Lu Feng looked again at Jin Tai above the roof and said coldly, "I am also quite surprised by the sudden arrival of the young master of the Jin family, but..."

The tone shifted abruptly, and Lu Feng suddenly unleashed a powerful killing intent. "Your earlier sneak attack and injury warrants a reasonable explanation; otherwise, I'm afraid I won't let you leave so easily!"

"Such intense killing intent...!"

Sensing the same fierce killing intent emanating from Lu Feng, Jin Tai frowned slightly, his hand gripping the feather fan tightly. "This man merely shattered my unique hidden weapon with a casual punch, without even a scratch. It seems he truly harbors some significant secret or opportunity..."

"If I could obtain the secrets and opportunities hidden within this person, my cultivation would not only reach a new level, but I might even easily rank among the top ten on the Great Xia Dynasty's list of prodigies...!"

Kim Tae inwardly clenched his stomach, a hint of greed flashing in his eyes.

"Brother Jin, this is not your Jin family's ancestral shrine, but rather the territory of Falling Star Academy. I advise you not to cause trouble, lest you bring disaster upon yourself!"

Seeing the tense atmosphere on the scene, which seemed poised to escalate into a fight, Zhan Feiyu stepped forward and tried to smooth things over.

After all, Lu Feng has now won the title of champion in this year's academy competition, and it is only a matter of time before he is promoted to the elite of the East Academy. Even if Jin Tai has the support of the Jin family, a sixth-rank clan, it is not a wise move to offend the former right now!

"Hehe, I was just curious about Brother Lu's skills, not that I was trying to sneak attack him."

Faced with Zhan Feiyu's advice, Jin Tai also composed himself, then revealed a smile, as if it had just been a misunderstanding, "Brother Lu, I have offended you before, farewell."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Tai didn't give Lu Feng any chance to make a move. He immediately turned into a wisp of green smoke and vanished into the sky until he disappeared completely.

"This guy...!"

As Lu Feng watched Jin Tai leave, the murderous aura around him gradually dissipated, but his brows remained furrowed.

Because he had just clearly sensed a wave of killing intent!

Clearly, Kim Tae's earlier sneak attack was not to test his skills, but rather had another purpose!

"Hmph! It's fortunate this guy surnamed Jin ran fast, otherwise I definitely wouldn't have let him get away with it!"

Seeing Jin Tai run away at lightning speed, Ren Xuanfei stomped her foot angrily, then turned to Lu Feng beside her, "Lu Feng, are you alright? Did that guy surnamed Jin hurt you?"

"A mere petty scoundrel, not worth worrying about."

Lu Feng shook his head slightly, indicating that he was fine.

Although Jin Tai's Yuan power cultivation is not weak, having reached the fifth level of the Spirit Soul Realm, which is slightly stronger than Cheng Xuyuan back then, it is still unlikely that he can injure Lu Feng with his current strength!

"Brother Lu's outstanding performance in this year's academy competition is truly admirable. If Brother Lu doesn't mind, you are welcome to visit the Divine Arrest Bureau sometime in the future. I will certainly do my best to be a good host."

With the same gesture of cupping hands, Zhan Feiyu looked sincere, clearly admiring Lu Feng's talent and strength and intending to win him over.

After all, the Divine Arresting Sect has dealt with all sorts of notorious bandits and villains in their daily lives, and has made quite a few enemies over the years. If they could get to know a prodigy like Lu Feng, it would be entirely beneficial to the Divine Arresting Sect!

"Brother Feiyu, you're too kind. I'll definitely do it next time."

Seeing Zhan Feiyu's politeness, Lu Feng was somewhat flattered and immediately returned the gesture with clasped hands.

Compared to the ill-intentioned Jin Tai, Zhan Feiyu in front of him was very honest and not the kind of person who liked to play tricks and schemes, and Lu Feng also saw this.

"Brother Lu, Miss Ren, Senior Zhang, I have important matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now!"

Without lingering in the courtyard, Zhan Feiyu bowed to everyone again, then turned and hurriedly left, seemingly intending to return to the Divine Arresting Gate as soon as possible and report back to his master, Zhan Wushuang.

As Jin Tai and Zhan Feiyu left, the courtyard returned to peace, and even the atmosphere around them became somewhat ambiguous.

After all, it's easy for things to get out of hand when two women and one man are alone in a room!

"By the way, Lu Feng, there's actually another matter I wanted to discuss with you...!"

Seemingly to break the awkward silence, Ren Xuanfei spoke again, simultaneously pulling out an exquisitely crafted invitation covered in gold leaf from her bosom and handing it to Lu Feng opposite her, "Here, take this!"

"Miss Ren, what is this...?"

Lu Feng was somewhat surprised, but the next moment Zhang Miaoling smiled and said, "Young Master Lu, this is Princess Luochuan's coming-of-age ceremony invitation. It is extremely precious. Even the princes and nobles of Dongyun Capital may not be able to receive it."

"An invitation to a coming-of-age ceremony?"

"No way! Miss Ren, you just turned eighteen this year? That means you're even younger than me..."

Lu Feng took the gold-leaf invitation with a pause, then saw Ren Xuanfei step forward, somewhat annoyed, and say, "Who said I'm younger than you! I'm a whole year older than you! As for this year's coming-of-age ceremony, it's just a belated one!"

"What?! Can a coming-of-age ceremony be held again?"

"Nonsense! Heroes can be posthumously recognized, so why can't coming-of-age ceremonies be held retroactively?"

At this point, Ren Xuanfei put her hands on her hips again, seemingly reverting to her usual spoiled manner, "Lu Feng! Why are you talking so much nonsense! I'll ask you one last time, are you going to participate or not?"

"If you really don't want to come, then I won't force you, lest you say I'm making things difficult for you...!"

Ren Xuanfei stared intently at Lu Feng with her beautiful eyes wide open, her hands unconsciously clenching together. It seemed that she really wanted him to participate, but was unwilling to show it so obviously because of her status and dignity as a princess.

"Ahem, since Miss Ren has extended such a sincere invitation, how could I possibly refuse?"

Faced with Consort Ren Xuan's expectant gaze, Lu Feng coughed a few times and immediately put the invitation into his storage ring.

After all, how could a beautiful woman refuse such a warm invitation? Unless one is a eunuch, no normal man would refuse!

Moreover, Consort Ren Xuan is the eldest princess of Dongyun Kingdom, and her coming-of-age ceremony will naturally be extremely lavish, with at least several hundred tables set up for various banquets. It wouldn't be bad for Lu Feng to go over and freeload a meal whenever he has the chance!

"Hehe, I didn't expect Young Master Lu to be so popular with women. He's practically destined to be a ladies' man. I knew I hadn't misjudged him..."

Seeing Ren Xuanfei and Lu Feng flirting, Zhang Miaoling smiled slightly, her tone playful.

"Senior Zhang, you're flattering me too much! I'm not exactly known for my luck with women; it's all just an accident...!"

Faced with Zhang Miaoling's teasing, Lu Feng felt somewhat helpless and quickly explained, seemingly afraid that Ren Xuanfei would be jealous.

After all, he's the worst at dealing with girls, let alone coaxing them. Once Ren Xuanfei gets jealous, Lu Feng will suffer again!

"Oh, really?"

Seeing this, Zhang Miaoling gently touched her temple, her tone still playful, "But what I saw earlier was not like that..."

"Just now, during the academy competition, that girl named Leng Ying, in order to stand up for you, Young Master Lu, even went so far as to sever ties with her sworn brother. Have you already forgotten so quickly, Young Master Lu?"
