Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"Miss Lü, we're complete strangers, doesn't this seem a bit inappropriate?"

Faced with Lü Xian'er's invitation, Lu Feng was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously glanced at Ren Xuanfei not far away, his tone inevitably a little awkward.

He wasn't pretending to be aloof, but Ren Xuanfei was watching from the side, and if he readily agreed, it would inevitably displease her.

Although Consort Ren Xuan is no longer the number one jealous queen of Dongyun Kingdom, and has become more accepting of the endless "romantic encounters" around Lu Feng, she still inevitably harbors some resentment in her heart.

Therefore, Lu Feng doesn't want to get too involved with Lü Xian'er right now, lest Ren Xuanfei feel sad and upset.

"Lu Feng, there's nothing wrong with it. Our Yunfu Sect has always valued martial arts and hospitality, and we don't have that many complicated rules..."

Faced with Lu Feng's polite refusal, Lü Xian'er shook her head slightly, no longer nervous or restrained, and regained her usual assertiveness. "Lu Feng, although I don't know much about you, I can tell you're a good person, and your talent and aptitude are extraordinary, far beyond that of ordinary geniuses...!"

"If my master could see you, he would surely be very happy, but..."

The conversation abruptly shifted, and Lü Xian'er smiled, her tone tinged with emotion, "If you truly have no intention, our Yunfu Sect will not force you. As for what you just said, let's pretend I never said it..."

"Looks like this girl is genuinely trying to win me over?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng narrowed his eyes slightly and secretly pushed his stomach in his heart.

Although he himself couldn't read minds, he could still see Lü Xian'er's sincerity, otherwise she wouldn't have reacted so strongly just now.

"Miss Lü, if I have the time in the future, I will definitely pay a visit to the Yunfu Sect..."

Thinking of this, Lu Feng also composed himself, cupped his hands in greeting, seemingly acknowledging Lü Xian'er's overture.

After all, it is a pleasure to have friends coming from afar.

For a free spirit like Lu Feng, who often travels around, having another friend is always a good thing.

As for the Yunfu Sect, although it is only a seventh-grade sect with not much foundation or power, it is still a hegemon in the Western Qin Kingdom. Now that Lu Feng has become friends with Lü Xian'er and the Yunfu Sect behind her, it is not a bad thing!

"Xian'er...!"

Seeing Lü Xian'er and Lu Feng chatting happily, Li Yunlong, whose Dao heart was already somewhat broken, collapsed on the spot and subconsciously rushed over to stop them.

However, before he could make a move, Song Zhang stopped him on the spot, his face cold and stern. "Li Yunlong, what trouble are you trying to cause now?"

"Elder Song! Xian'er is actually being so enthusiastic towards a strange man of unknown origin...!"

"No! This can't be! How could this happen...!"

Seeing Song Zhang stop him again, Li Yunlong's face remained pale, his teeth clenched, as if he refused to believe what he was seeing.

"That's enough!"

Seeing Li Yunlong's broken, subservient demeanor, Song Zhang frowned as well, then snorted coldly, "You've been following this girl around for so many years, don't you know she's a woman of her word?"

"Besides, Lu Feng is indeed someone our Yunfu Sect should try to win over, so Xian'er's actions aren't necessarily a bad thing..."

Song Zhang's tone remained calm.

Although Li Yunlong was an outsider invited by their Yunfu Sect, he came uninvited at the beginning, and his purpose was not to rank his performance, but simply to please Lü Xian'er.

Compared to Li Yunlong, whose motives were impure, Lu Feng's current performance undoubtedly makes him more worthy of being recruited by the Yunfu Sect.

Therefore, Song Zhang, the Left Elder of Yunfu Sect, naturally had no objection to Lü Xian'er's initiative to invite Lu Feng!

"Elder Song, this...!"

Upon hearing Song Zhang's words, Li Yunlong froze on the spot, his heart filled with even greater despair.

Because he wasn't stupid, and he could understand the unspoken meaning behind the other person's words.

As the saying goes, a simp who keeps fawning will eventually end up with nothing!

At this moment, Li Yunlong also fully understood this truth of the world!

...

Meanwhile, beside the nameless valley

"The competition is over!"

"In the first match of the single-elimination tournament, the Heaven and Earth Group, Lu Feng emerged victorious!"

Seeing that Lü Xian'er had voluntarily conceded defeat and was unable to continue fighting, Qin Xuanzhong also flicked his sleeves and immediately announced the result of the match.

"Lu Feng...!"

After successfully advancing to the semi-finals, before Lu Feng could even catch his breath, a beautiful woman in yellow robes suddenly rushed over from the side and stopped him on the spot.

"You scoundrel! You've been flirting with other women outside again!"

Ren Xuanfei stood with her hands on her hips, glaring angrily at Lu Feng opposite her, seemingly quite displeased.

After all, she was one of his fiancées. No matter how magnanimous she was, she couldn't just stand by and watch Lu Feng chatting and laughing with another woman without reacting.

"Honey, you've really wronged me!"

Faced with Ren Xuanfei's sudden "accusation," Lu Feng spread his hands outwards, as if he had expected it. "Wife, you saw it just now. I almost fought with that Miss Lü. In order to successfully advance to the top four, I almost risked my life..."

"As for the Yunfu Sect, it is, after all, a powerful force in the Western Qin Kingdom, and that Miss Lü is the senior disciple of the Yunfu Sect. Now that she has sincerely invited me, I, your husband, cannot refuse on the spot and not give her any face at all, can I?"

"After all, in this world, it's always better to have one more friend than one more enemy..."

Lu Feng's face was full of helplessness.

"this...!"

"Okay, fine...!"

Upon hearing this, Ren Xuanfei's pretty face also froze slightly, then she pouted and said, the resentment in her heart gradually dissipating, "Lu Feng, I misunderstood you, I'm sorry about just now..."

After all, what the other party said wasn't entirely unreasonable.

Moreover, although Lu Feng accepted Lü Xian'er's invitation, he did not ask her to do so on his own initiative, so this could not be considered flirting.

"Four Kingdoms Martial Arts Tournament, Single Elimination Round 2, Star Group!"

Just as Lu Feng and Ren Xuanfei were flirting with each other, Qin Xuanzhong, who was in charge of hosting, announced the opponents for the next match.

Moreover, the duel between the Star Group was also a rare internal war, and both sides were "old acquaintances" of Lu Feng: Gongsun Jian, the senior brother of Taiji Sword Sect, and Lin Xiaoyu, Lu Feng's former female disciple who left without saying goodbye.

"Little Fish, I never expected my opponent would be you..."

Leaping onto the battlefield arena, Gongsun Jian looked up at Lin Xiaoyu not far away. At this moment, his handsome face showed some hesitation, as if he was struggling internally and did not want to fight with his opponent.

After all, deep down, the person he cared about most was Lin Xiaoyu, who was standing right in front of him.

Therefore, even though the outcome of this battle was crucial to his advancement, he did not want to actually fight, and he couldn't bear to harm a single hair on Lin Xiaoyu's head!

"Senior Brother Gongsun, we both advanced to the quarterfinals, so our meeting and battle is inevitable..."

"For this battle, I, Xiaoyu, would like to request guidance from Senior Brother Gongsun...!"

However, compared to Gongsun Jian, who was troubled by love, Lin Xiaoyu had a resolute look on her face and bowed slightly to the former, seemingly with a strong fighting spirit and not wanting the other party to hold back.
