<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>
Everyone’s attention followed Zhang Yiming, so it was only natural that they noticed the two men standing ten meters away amidst the falling purple leaves.
Their clothes billowed in the wind, displaying an extraordinary grace, hinting at their immense power.
The group of people gasped in surprise. They were young and inexperienced. It was their first time encountering such remarkable individuals, leaving them profoundly amazed.
The restless little red bird on Feng’s shoulder flapped its wings and let out furious cries, intensifying the envy of their adversaries.
Pei Jing didn’t want to acknowledge them there. He glanced at the plump red bird, and its defiant gaze made the divine beast so angry that it began biting its own wings.
Pei Jing walked and asked, “What brings you to Shangyang Peak?”
Chen Xu sighed and said, “Can you please refrain from being so impulsive next time?”
Pei Jing glanced back and whispered, “Let’s not talk here.”
Saying that, he walked deeper into the Purple Bamboo Forest. Chen Xu had no choice but to follow.
Feng Jin watched the scene unfold, hoping to find some amusement at someone else’s expense. He teasingly said, “What’s the matter? Scared someone will recognize you?”
The proud and noble emperor of the Phoenix Clan immediately turned into a snarky and mean-spirited person when he encountered Pei Yuzhi.
Lazily chuckling, he said, “You dare to do it but won’t admit it. If I were your mentor, I’d kick you out, even if you were the Sect Master.”
The little red bird on his shoulder flapped its wings, standing by its owner’s side.
Pei Jing knew that this master and servant pair who came to Yunxiao couldn’t be trusted to speak honestly.
Outside the Purple Bamboo Forest, the cloud cranes floated in the air, behaving obediently, with a hint of excitement and fear in their demeanor.
After the cloud crane spread its wings and Pei Jing stood firmly on it, he turned to Feng Jin and said, “Is all your progress limited to your sharp tongue?”
Chen Xu shook his head and followed closely, intentionally positioning himself between the two of them. After all, if they started fighting, all 108 peaks of Yunxiao would suffer.
Feng Jin gracefully stepped onto the cloud crane, his robe flowing, and he smiled, “Of course, you’ve made more progress than me. I mean, even if you can’t advance to the Nascent Soul stage, there’s no need for you to stoop so low and bully disciples at the Qi Gathering stage.”
As soon as he got on, the cloud crane visibly trembled, feeling the power of the Master of the hundred birds. It felt an instinctual reverence deep inside, but managed to steady itself and flew towards Tianqian Peak.
Pei Jing casually remarked, “Why do you call it stooping so low?”
Feng Jin seized on a point and mocked with certainty, “Bullying the weak, doesn’t that violate the rules of your Yunxiao Sect? You really bring shame to your ancestors, Pei Yuzhi.”
“What defines strength and weakness, anyway?” Without waiting for Feng Jin’s reply, he continued, “Actually, Little Brother,” Pei Jing smiled at him, his expression bright and kind, “In my eyes, you and him aren’t that different. Both are failed subordinates. The only distinction is that this young one showed humility and respect, choosing to recognize me as his master after losing, proclaiming himself my disciple for life and even calling me ‘father’ directly.”
