Chapter 635: Jian Fei’s Confusion, Heading to the Central Continent
Pavilion.
“Hahaha!”
“Given your great knowledge, I’ve gained new insights today.”
Bai Zhongkong and Su You clinked cups, creating an atmosphere of deep friendship.
As they spoke, Bai Zhongkong glanced around and said softly, “Daoist Jian Fei, let’s be upfront. What’s going on with Miss Ma?”
Hearing this, Jian Fei smiled awkwardly but didn’t know how to respond.
Seeing this, Su You stepped in to help Jian Fei.
“Brother Chang Kong, it’s just a muddled account between the two of them; don’t make things difficult for him.”
“Oh, so it’s like that! My lack of discernment. I’ll punish myself with a drink.”
With that, Bai Zhongkong downed his drink in one go.
Putting down his cup, Bai Zhongkong grabbed Jian Fei’s hand and, somewhat tipsy, said, “Daoist Jian Fei, my junior sister has always been proud, and she hasn’t taken a liking to anyone for a long time.”
“Being a big brother is like being a father; I’ve worried for her for years.”
“Now that I’ve found someone to entrust her to, you mustn’t let her down!”
Upon hearing these words, Jian Fei didn’t respond but merely smiled awkwardly.
Seeing this, Bai Zhongkong squinted his eyes and continued, “Daoist Jian Fei, as the saying goes, ‘the fallen flowers have intentions while the flowing water is heartless,’ let’s let the muddled account go.”
“What’s most important is to look ahead; my junior sister isn’t bad, wouldn’t you agree?”
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere instantly fell silent.
After a long while, Jian Fei forced a smile and said, “Brother Chang Kong is right; one should look forward.”
“Hahaha!”
“Daoist Jian Fei, you truly are a sensible person. I’ve had a bit to drink today, and what I said was nonsense; don’t take it to heart.”
“Now then, I’ll take my leave to rest; if I drink more, I’ll embarrass myself.”
With that, Bai Zhongkong stumbled away.
After Bai Zhongkong left, the elusive Chen Changsheng appeared at the table.
Looking at him, Jian Fei helplessly said, “Sir, I…”
“Don’t ask me!”
Chen Changsheng interrupted Jian Fei’s words.
“I’ve always been open-minded and never impede anyone from liking someone.”
“If you can find a wife or husband from the Four Directions Continent, I would wholeheartedly support that.”
“However, there is a prerequisite you must understand—that is to clarify each other’s positions.”
“As long as there’s no issue with the position, identity has never been a barrier.”
With that, Chen Changsheng picked up the fruit platter on the table and left, leaving behind a silent crowd.
Faced with the situation, Jian Fei looked at Xu Yao.
“Xu Yao, I…”
“Don’t ask me about this matter; I don’t know how Ling’er thinks, and I don’t want to get involved in your muddled account.”
“I can only follow the sir’s meaning; as long as the position is clear, I will always bless you.”
With that, Xu Yao picked up the wine jug and slipped away.
“Jian Fei, we’ve had some cultivation problems recently; I’ll take my leave first.”
“So will I!”
Gui Qianjie found an excuse to leave with Gui Qianjie, and Jiang Yongting also followed. At this point, only Su You and Jian Fei remained at the table.
“Brother Su, you don’t have something to attend to, do you?”
“Coincidentally, I do. What do you really think about Ling’er and Si Ma Lan?”
“What else is there to think? Ling’er is my companion through life and d*ath, while Si Ma Lan is my enemy; the identities are clear!”
Seeing that Jian Fei was still being evasive, Su You said lightly, “As the saying goes, ‘it’s hardest to bear the favor of a beautiful woman,’ I believe you can resist the temptation of your enemy.”
“But as the sir pointed out, what if Si Ma Lan’s position changes? What then?”

“Um…”
Jian Fei opened his mouth but couldn’t find the words.
If Si Ma Lan truly changed her position for him, then that sentiment weighed heavier than anything else.
In terms of identity, status, appearance, and talent, Si Ma Lan was not inferior to Ma Ling’er. A woman like her would go to great lengths to pursue him; he had no reason to let her down.
He indeed had someone he liked, but he had already been rejected.
If she insisted on entangling with him, it would only cause trouble for everyone.
Thinking this, Jian Fei raised his head and took a big gulp of wine, muttering softly, “Let’s see how it goes; perhaps Si Ma Lan’s stance will be firm, and that would simplify things.”
“At the very least, that’s true, but how unpredictable are matters of the heart? Who can say for sure?”
Saying this, Su You gazed into his wine glass.
“When I first started cultivating, my masters always said to keep a clear heart and be free of desires; back then, I didn’t understand the meaning behind it.”
“Now I understand; walking through the chaotic world with a heart is a very painful thing.”
Having said that, Su You finished his drink and stood up to leave.
Now, Jian Fei sat there all alone in the pavilion.
As for what he was thinking, no one knew.
……
The Ten Thousand Beasts Sect’s group set off, and at the same time, a small team also departed alongside the main group.
“Brother Ye, why aren’t we heading out with the main group?”
Looking at the group departing into the distance, Jiang Yongting asked curiously.
In response, Ye Feng said, “The main group moves slowly and has many rules.”
“Rather than being restrained, it’s better for us to proceed on our own; at least we’ll have more freedom.”
“Additionally, I have a treasure map here; rushing through the journey isn’t as thrilling as searching for treasure.”
With that, Ye Feng took out a map.
Seeing this, Bai Zhongkong tilted his head to look over.
“No way, do you dare to go to these places? Aren’t you afraid of trouble?”
“If I were alone, I wouldn’t dare go, but with so many friends together, my chances are much greater.”
Hearing the two talk, Ma Ling’er asked curiously, “Friend Chang Kong, are these places really dangerous?”
“Mouse Mountain, Cloud Peak Pavilion—these are tenfold perilous spots.”
“Rumor has it there’s a Mouse King at Mouse Mountain, with countless mouse demons under its command; even those at the Immortal Sovereign Realm face the risk of falling there.”
“Cloud Peak Pavilion is worse; it’s shrouded in clouds and mist, and no one has ever reached the top.”
“Some people are trapped inside for hundreds of years, and some who enter never come out again.”
Hearing this, Jiang Yongting’s corner of his mouth twitched as he asked, “If it’s that dangerous, why doesn’t the Xuanwu Sect send powerful figures to clear these places?”
“There are conditions… No, it should be called the Immortal King Realm now.”
“The Xuanwu Sect has sent a powerful figure from the Immortal King Realm to assess the risks and confirmed that they won’t spread, so the Immortal King didn’t eliminate these two locations; after all, they must provide some training grounds for the young talents.”
“Yet, with so many trying to venture through, those who can bring back opportunities from these two places are definitely no more than a handful.”
Hearing Bai Zhongkong’s explanation, Ye Feng smiled faintly, “So, what do you think, Brother Chang Kong? Are you confident in venturing in?”
“I’m up for anything; besides, there’s still some time before the Realm Lord Conference starts. It wouldn’t hurt to have some fun.”
“The problem is, you need to consider the opinions of others; it can’t be just the two of us making the decisions.”
Facing Bai Zhongkong’s words, Ye Feng smiled and glanced at Ma Ling’er.
“With such an interesting event, we of course have to join in. However, please don’t consider us a burden.”
Ma Ling’er smiled in agreement, and Jian Fei and the others had no objections.
Jiang Yongting: “…”
Do you Heavenly Prodigies usually play around like this?
Just going to these places for fun? I feel like I’m not too keen on going.
