Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"Uh, oh...!"

Reminded by Xia Xihai, Liu Lanyu's pretty face also froze slightly, showing embarrassment. "Lu Feng, this elder... uh, I'm not very good at speaking, sorry!"

"Elder Liu, you flatter me."

Lu Feng grinned as well, then cupped his hands in a fist salute and said, "Compared to these trivial matters, I am also deeply grateful for the care I received from Elder Liu and Vice Dean Xia in the past."

"Oh! Little Lu, you don't need to be so polite. We're all family here, and besides..."

"So you were hiding here, you bastard...!"

Before Xia Xihai could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a cold, angry shout from a woman, causing his expression to change slightly.

"Qi, Qisi?!"

He quickly turned around at the sound, and when he saw the person's face clearly, Xia Xihai trembled slightly, like a mouse encountering a cat. He was terrified. "You, what are you doing here?"

"Hmph, if you, a scoundrel, can come to bid farewell to Lu Feng, why can't I?"

The newcomer was dressed in purple, with a graceful figure. Her fair face was expressionless, but her pale purple eyes were still charming and captivating. She was none other than Dai Qisi, the former protector of the Wusheng Sect.

"Lu Feng, thank you for the battle at Strange Stone Peak back then."

Ignoring Xia Xihai, who remained silent, Dai Qisi walked straight up to Lu Feng and spoke, her once cold face now showing a hint of gentleness.

Although she herself was unaware of what happened at Falling Star Academy after she fell into a coma, Dai Qisi later learned of the fate of Manlong and the others from Chu Tianhong and others.

Even the once loyal Manlong and others could not escape death in the end, and they died at the hands of their own people, the Right Envoy of Wusheng, Tusu, without even leaving behind a complete corpse!

Upon realizing this, Dai Qisi completely abandoned the idea of ​​continuing to serve the Wusheng Sect.

This is one of the reasons why she came to see Lu Feng off.

Regardless, her life was ultimately saved by Lu Feng. If he hadn't shown her mercy in the past, she wouldn't be standing here alive.

"No need. I saved you back then not for any other reason than to repay a favor from Vice Dean Xia..."

Faced with Dai Qisi's sudden thanks, Lu Feng was taken aback for a moment, then said coldly, "Besides, I've never had a good impression of the Wusheng Sect. If you want to thank someone, thank Vice Dean Xia instead..."

After all, although the other party has lost her cultivation, her illusion skills are still intact. In addition, Dai Qisi was once the head of the four protectors of the Wusheng Sect, making her a clear enemy. Therefore, Lu Feng did not dare to relax his vigilance.

"Hmph, you really are no ordinary person..."

Seeing that her efforts to curry favor with Lu Feng had been met with indifference, Dai Qisi frowned slightly, but didn't react. She merely gave a cold smile, "However, I never owe anyone favors. Take it...!"

After saying that, Dai Qisi casually tossed a top-grade storage ring to Lu Feng, saying, "Although I don't have many treasures left, there's a little something here that should suit your taste perfectly and can also come in handy..."

After saying that, Dai Qisi didn't waste any more words and turned to leave.

"Kiss, don't go yet, wait for me...!"

Seeing this, Xia Xihai quickly followed, seemingly afraid that the other person might run away again if he wasn't careful.

After all, he had wronged Dai Qisi too much in the past, and now that she had finally forgiven him and had left the Wusheng Sect, Xia Xihai naturally did not want to hurt Dai Qisi again.

"Um?"

Lu Feng caught the top-tier storage ring that Dai Qisi tossed to him. Just as he was about to examine it, he noticed out of the corner of his eye that Ren Xuanfei beside him had her lips slightly pursed and her complexion looked rather unwell. He couldn't help but ask with a puzzled expression, "Wife, why do you look so pale? Are you perhaps ill?"

"Uh, I...I'm fine!"

Ren Xuanfei waved her hand, then turned her head to avoid Lu Feng's gaze, her pretty face showing a hint of panic. "Oh, right! Weren't you leaving? I just came to see you off...!"

"Wife, are you worried that I won't come back after I leave this time?"

Seeing Ren Xuanfei avoid his gaze in a flustered manner, Lu Feng guessed what was going on. He grinned and pulled her into his arms. "Don't worry, your husband will definitely return safely. This is our promise..."

"And, once we return safely next time, we'll choose an auspicious day to officially get married...!"

Lu Feng gently patted Ren Xuanfei's back as he spoke in a tender tone.

"Then, it's settled! You must take good care of yourself, you must come back safely..."

Faced with Lu Feng's promise, Ren Xuanfei's eyes also welled up with tears, her face full of reluctance. "And... I will always be waiting for you to come back at Falling Star Academy!"

"Xuanfei, I definitely will...!"

Holding Ren Xuanfei tightly in his arms, Lu Feng slowly released her after a long while, turning back to look at his old friends around him. "Everyone, farewell... until we meet again!"

Lu Feng bowed slightly to the crowd once more, then turned and left. At the same time, he transformed into a stream of Yuan energy and disappeared into the clouds and sky, vanishing without a trace.

...

Cangmang Mountain, outside Luoxing Town

"Hmm? Could that figure be...?!"

Flying along the northern horizon, Lu Feng stopped abruptly when a familiar figure suddenly appeared ahead. His eyes widened in surprise. "Miss Zhong?"

"Lu Feng, how have you been lately?"

Turning back to look at Lu Feng, Zhong Lingyu nodded slightly, then looked a little embarrassed, "I originally wanted to see you off myself, but I'm not a big fan of crowds, so..."

"Miss Zhong, you flatter me. It is my honor."

Waving his hand to indicate that there was no need for formalities, Lu Feng's gaze shifted, and he noticed that Zhong Lingyu was not wearing the Cangmang Token at her waist. He couldn't help but blurt out, "Miss Zhong, could it be that you also intend to...?"

"Yes, I also plan to leave Falling Star Academy."

Without any concealment, Zhong Lingyu nodded and continued, "Although the Soul-Sealing Pot given to us by Uncle Xia can temporarily preserve Xiaobai and the others' souls, rebuilding their physical bodies will be extremely difficult..."

"So, I also want to travel to other parts of the mainland and, while I'm at it, find a way to revive Little White and the others..."

Zhong Lingyu's pretty face was slightly pale, and her tone was somewhat sad, as if she had not yet completely recovered from the grief of Xiaobai's death.

"Miss Chung, please accept my condolences and have a safe journey ahead!"

Seeing this, Lu Feng didn't say much, and simply cupped his hands in a fist salute.

After all, the other party didn't have many friends, only a group of small animals for company all year round. Now that she has suffered such a change, Lu Feng could understand Zhong Lingyu's pain.

...

Time flies, and three months have passed again.

In the Eastern Xuan Domain, within the Xuan Song Kingdom, lies an unnamed forest.

roar...!

A mournful roar suddenly came from the forest, and the next moment a brown beastly shadow fell from the sky like a meteorite, smashing into a huge crater and scattering the surrounding leaves all over the ground.

"A vast expanse of ice!"

Just as the brown beast shadow was struggling to climb out of the pit, an ice crystal axe beam struck in an instant, like an unstoppable arrow, instantly severing its head and splattering a pool of crimson blood!
