Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"Since Brother Lu already has a plan, then I'll just consider this an overstatement..."

"Well... okay!"

Seeing Lu Feng's confident expression, the Ren siblings exchanged a glance and then refrained from interfering further.

Because the brother and sister knew Lu Feng's character and style very well, and he never did anything without being sure of success!

Lu Feng is now going against the rules of the academy to insist on taking Lin Xiaoyu back to Falling Star Academy, which means he must have already prepared a plan, so nothing serious should happen!

"Lu Feng".

Just as the Ren siblings were discussing when to return to the academy, a white-clad figure arrived on the wind and landed slowly in front of Lu Feng. Her beautiful face remained aloof, and she was none other than Zhong Lingyu, the number one prodigy of Falling Star Academy.

"Miss Zhong?"

Upon seeing that the visitor was Zhong Lingyu, Lu Feng was taken aback for a moment, then grinned and said, "Does Miss Zhong also have something to discuss with me?"

"Lu Feng, congratulations."

Shaking her head slightly, Zhong Lingyu's pretty face remained calm, while her lips parted slightly, "You are indeed very capable, Elder Liu... she was right after all."

"Elder Liu?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng couldn't help but picture a fiery and assertive woman in a red robe in his mind. He then looked surprised, "Why is this woman suddenly bringing this up? Could she also be one of Liu Lanyu's disciples? That shouldn't be possible...!"

Thinking of this, Lu Feng's curiosity grew even stronger.

After all, Elder Liu Lanyu was a well-known heroine, not only quick-tempered but also fiery-tempered, while Zhong Lingyu was naturally quiet and taciturn. The two did not seem like master and disciple who could get along.

"The master is a fiery hottie, while the disciple is a cool and aloof beauty? This master-disciple pair is quite interesting, and it's hard not to feel refreshed and lost in thought..."

As if he had thought of some wicked idea, Lu Feng's lips curled up even more, and his smile became increasingly evil.

"Lu Feng, as a fellow disciple of Falling Star Sect, I simply want to congratulate you..."

Seeing Lu Feng's increasingly strange expression and his continued scrutiny, Zhong Lingyu's pretty face also froze slightly, seemingly a little embarrassed. She quickly explained, "Besides that, I meant nothing else...!"

"Brother Lu, now that Miss Zhong has arrived, why don't we travel back to the hospital together? That way we can look after each other on the way."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Ren Lingyun stepped forward and changed the subject.

"Your Highness is right."

Lu Feng nodded in agreement, then looked at Zhong Lingyu across from him again, "What does Miss Zhong think?"

Faced with Lu Feng's invitation, Zhong Lingyu did not refuse. She simply nodded silently, her fair face remaining as calm as ever.

Because she was a disciple of Falling Star Academy and shared the same master as Lu Feng and the others, Zhong Lingyu would not have come to participate in the Four Kingdoms Martial Arts Tournament if it weren't to repay a favor from the Zhao family of the Northern Wei royal family.

"Everyone, let's go!"

Seeing this, Lu Feng didn't waste any words. He immediately grabbed Lin Xiaoyu and Ren Xuanfei, and then leaped into the sky, speeding towards Yuanfeng Realm, where Luoxing Academy was located.

"Miss Zhong, please!"

"Um."

As for Ren Lingyun and Zhong Lingyu, they didn't hesitate either. They exchanged a glance, then transformed into streams of Yuan energy and followed closely behind.

After Lu Feng and his group left, the other teams from various countries did not linger in this nameless valley. They immediately activated their flying artifacts and left the outer perimeter of Jue Long Ridge without looking back.

After all, Jue Long Ridge is one of the three forbidden areas of Cangyun Realm. It is not only filled with various poisonous swamps and miasma, but also teeming with all kinds of demonic beasts, making it extremely dangerous!

Therefore, even though this nameless valley was not deep in the heart of Jue Long Ridge, but only near the outer edge, the martial artists from the four kingdoms of Lingnan dared not linger here for long, lest they invite danger!

As for Qin Xuanzhong, the once-famous Sword Master of the Taiji Sword Sect, he had already taken the unconscious Gongsun Jian and hurriedly left this nameless valley, running faster than a rabbit, seemingly afraid that Lu Feng would change his mind and kill him!

...

Before we knew it, half a month had passed.

After a long journey of more than half a month, Lu Feng and his companions finally rushed back to the foot of Cangmang Mountain where Luoxing Academy was located.

However, after bidding farewell to Ren Lingyun and the others, Lu Feng did not return to his personal cave dwelling. Instead, he took Lin Xiaoyu with him and headed straight for the fifth floor of the scripture hall where Liu Lanyu was.

Bai Qiufeng, Scripture Hall, a living room on the fifth floor

"What did you say?!"

Suddenly, a furious roar from a woman erupted, instantly shaking the entire prayer hall as if the earth were trembling and the end of the world was nigh.

"What happened?!"

"That voice sounds like Elder Liu?"

"Strange! Who on earth is so audacious as to provoke Elder Liu, the number one 'female demon' of Falling Star Academy? Does this person have a death wish...?!"

Suddenly, an unexpected change occurred. All the disciples inside the hall looked up at the fifth floor. Their faces were filled with astonishment and curiosity, as if they all wanted to know who this person was who dared to provoke Liu Lanyu, the number one "female demon" of Falling Star Academy.

"You bastard, Lu Feng!"

"Who gave you the audacity to do this?!"

Liu Lanyu abruptly stood up from her seat, glaring angrily at Lu Feng opposite her. Her ample bosom heaved as she spoke, seemingly furious. "First, you went out to participate in some Four Kingdoms Martial Arts Tournament and almost caused a huge problem for Falling Star Academy. Then, you inexplicably brought a woman from outside back to the academy. What exactly are you trying to do, you scoundrel?"

"Do you really think that the rules of the Falling Star Academy set by our patriarch are just for show, something you can do as you please?!"

Liu Lanyu's tone remained stern, her pretty face filled with anger. She was clearly very unhappy with Lu Feng's "acting first and asking questions later" behavior of taking Lin Xiaoyu back to Luoxing Academy without the consent of the elders.

"Elder Liu, please calm down. I still have something to say, and I beg you not to get angry and harm your health..."

Looking at Liu Lanyu, whose face was ashen with anger, Lu Feng could only shake his head helplessly, then cupped his hands in a gesture of respect again, as if he had expected this all along.

"Elder Liu, to be honest, Xiaoyu is an old friend of mine who was lost for many years..."

"I promised Xiaoyu's deceased parents that I would not abandon her. Now that we have been reunited, I have brought her back to Falling Star Academy to stay temporarily. I beg Elder Liu to grant my request..."

At this point, Lu Feng took a deep breath, then knelt on one knee to pay his respects. His face was full of sincerity, and he also gave Liu Lanyu, the elder of the scripture hall, a lot of face.

However, to avoid suspicion, he did not reveal that Lin Xiaoyu was his apprentice, but instead used the excuse of being an old friend.

"My daughter, Lin Xiaoyu, begs Senior Liu to grant my request...!"

Seeing Lu Feng kneel down and pay his respects, Lin Xiaoyu next to him did not hesitate either, and immediately bowed down to Liu Lanyu opposite him. At this moment, her pretty face was also extremely resolute, obviously only wanting to follow the former.

"you...!"

Upon seeing this, Liu Lanyu was also stunned. Then, her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if she too had fallen into a moment of hesitation.

"No! This elder disagrees! This is absolutely against the rules of the academy!"

Shaking her head again, Liu Lanyu's tone returned to its usual sternness. She then said, "Lu Feng, it's not that I'm being unreasonable, but in the hundreds of years since the founding of Falling Star Academy, apart from the recruitment assessments for each year, there has never been a rule that outsiders can enter the academy without permission."

"Besides, even if I were to grant your request, I'm afraid Senior Brother Xia and those old men like Yuan Tiangang wouldn't agree. You'd better find another place to settle this girl..."

"In that case, this disciple will not make things difficult for Elder Liu..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng did not persist in arguing. He simply stood up slowly, then turned and left with Lin Xiaoyu.

Swish!

However, before leaving, Lu Feng suddenly paused, then turned back to look at Liu Lanyu behind him, his tone calm, "Speaking of which, there is one more thing. This disciple hopes that Elder Liu can convey this to the elders in the academy."

"What?"

"From this day forward, I will formally withdraw from Falling Star Academy...!" Lu Feng said calmly.

"Lu Feng, you...you're leaving Falling Star Academy?!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Lanyu instantly lost her composure. Her pupils constricted sharply, revealing deep astonishment. "Lu Feng, are you kidding me?!"

Do you know what that sentence means?!

"I know." Lu Feng's face remained calm.

"Master, you really don't need to worry about the little fish...!"

Beside her, Lin Xiaoyu's pretty face was also moved, and she hesitated to speak, seemingly never expecting that Lu Feng would be willing to abandon the huge backing of Falling Star Academy for her sake!

However, before Lin Xiaoyu could finish speaking, Lu Feng raised his hand to interrupt her. Clearly, the latter's mind was made up and no one could sway him!

"Tsk, fine...!"

Seeing that Lu Feng wasn't joking but serious, Liu Lanyu first frowned slightly, then sighed helplessly, seemingly making a concession, "Lu Feng, this elder grants your request..."

"This outsider woman named Lin Xiaoyu can stay at Falling Star Academy for the time being. As for any objections from the other elders, I will handle them for you. Is that alright?"

Liu Lanyu rubbed her aching forehead, then looked at Lu Feng, who had a resolute expression, and said with a helpless tone.

After all, Lu Feng was a once-in-a-century genius from their Falling Star Academy. He was not only highly regarded by his senior brother Xia Xihai and others, but even Liu Lanyu herself greatly admired Lu Feng and treated him almost as her personal disciple.

Therefore, Liu Lanyu could not possibly stand by and watch Lu Feng leave the academy, as this would not be in the interest of Falling Star Academy!

"This disciple thanks Elder Liu for his mercy and granting my request...!"

"This humble woman thanks Senior Liu!"

Seeing that Liu Lanyu had finally relented, not only was Lu Feng slightly pleased, but Lin Xiaoyu beside him was also extremely excited. They immediately bowed and greeted each other, as if a huge weight had finally been lifted from their hearts.

"Alright! You two, don't rush to thank this elder..."

Raising her hand again to interrupt the two, Liu Lanyu changed the subject, then said in a low voice, "Lu Feng, although I have agreed to your request, I have one more condition..."

"What are the conditions?"

Lu Feng was taken aback, a look of confusion appearing on his face.
