Chapter 135: Bai Feng: Why Do I Always Feel a Little Uneasy?
Not long after the Princess of Eastern Continent left Xuan Guang City, a handsome young man with a pretty face pushed open his door and strode back into his room.
“Six Sister actually came to the Northern Region? Has the situation in Dong Zhou become so terrible?”
He looked lost in thought, because for some reason, his mother didn’t really like Six Sister—she said Six Sister would corrupt him—so their relationship was just so-so, and he didn’t know much about her. All he remembered was that she didn’t like fighting and wasn’t into showing off.
But now Six Sister was here in the North. Did she get kicked out by others, or just run away to find peace and quiet?
No matter which it was, it seemed like Dong Zhou’s situation wasn’t looking too good.
But what could he do? He didn’t even have the courage to meet Six Sister face to face…
“Forget it, I’d better just keep studying,” he sighed, shaking his head, and pulled out the design drafts he would need for work.
After two weeks of brief training, he had learned the essential skills for his job, and mastered the basics of low-level array techniques. He was no longer a total noob about arrays.
But the more he learned, the more he realized just how brilliant the finished products were. The designers could so skillfully apply array principles in their creations—definitely masters in the field.
“Such a shame, only a tiny fragment of the full design… I really wonder what the complete blueprint looks like,” he lamented.
Just then, a voice sounded beside him, “Yo, Fang Yue, still studying?”
He froze for a moment, then quickly reacted.
“Ah, sorry, I got so absorbed in my book I didn’t notice Brother Chen calling me,” he hurriedly explained with a guilty look.
“No worries, no worries. It’s good to be diligent. If I had your talent, I’d read books all day too—maybe someday I’d become a true array master,” Brother Chen said, waving his hand with envy.
Fang Yue chuckled and joined in, “Brother Chen’s talent is pretty good too. He learned array techniques very steadily, and didn’t stumble even once during the test. I messed up once because I was too impatient.”
“N-No, that was just luck,” Brother Chen waved dismissively with a smile. “Let’s not dwell on that. To celebrate passing the test, I booked a table for a feast at the hotel. Want to join?”
“But Yu Ling Long said we’re not supposed to mingle privately,” Fang Yue hesitated.
“Relax, we’re in the same team. No outsiders. I asked around—just as long as we don’t drink with other teams, it’s fine,” Brother Chen assured him.
Fang Yue thought for a few seconds, then shook his head. “Sorry, I’m a bit short on funds, I’ll pass this time.”
“No worries, next time after we get paid,” Brother Chen said with a shrug. The two exchanged a few more words before he left.
Fang Yue watched him go, then turned his gaze back to the design draft in his hands.
Since meeting Six Sister, his heart was pounding more than ever.
“Haah… calm down. Getting nervous only messes with your mind,” he sighed, taking a deep breath. Then he began to ponder how to meet the Array Grandmaster.
Although he’d heard the Grandmaster was from Heavenly Sword Sect, he didn’t dare to bet on it. Besides, his Dragon Horn and Dragon Clan bloodline were sealed, so even if he joined Heavenly Sword Sect, he’d only be an ordinary disciple at his current potential. Meeting the Array Grandmaster was a pipe dream.
Should he give up on this unrealistic idea?
Or save money to join Heavenly Sword Sect or another sect, train for decades or even a century—maybe, someday, luck would be on his side, and he’d manage to return to Dong Zhou and avenge his mother by killing his uncle.
But…
He wasn’t willing to give up like that!
He wanted to gamble, even if the chances of success were slim. His goals weren’t just revenge.
“First, I must find a way to climb into Yu Ling Long’s high ranks!”
…
“Why do I keep feeling a little uneasy lately?”
Bai Feng frowned, but recently, his system had been surprisingly silent.
And Bai Yu Mo’s mood was pretty good lately; she kept sparring with him in swordsmanship. Zuo Qiu was also being watched by her master, so she dared not say strange things when they met. Lin Yan and Luo Chen were probably still tangled up with the folk from Purple Cloud Peak. Aside from that…
Could it be that Spirit Sealing Sect’s ‘Child of Destiny’?
Or is that Black Lotus old lady planning something sneaky again?
“Forget it, as long as I don’t go out, everything should be fine,” Bai Feng muttered, shaking his head. Right now, the most important thing was to increase his survival chances.
In the last battle, he realized his defenses were enough, but his counterattack options were pretty limited.
That’s the downside of arrays—they were mainly built for defense. Sure, some could damage enemies, but only within a restricted range. And they weren’t suitable for escaping.
“Too bad my talismans are only at beginner level,” he muttered.
He remembered those powerful talismans, but unfortunately, he lacked the skill to craft them.
After pondering for a moment, he shifted his attention to refining tools—perhaps that was a breakthrough path.
Suddenly, his door was pushed open from outside, and Bai Yu Mo hurried in.
“Brother, our master wants us to go see her,” she announced briskly.
His heart instantly twitched—oh no, was his master planning to send him out again?
Is that the source of his unease?
He looked up, serious, and asked Bai Yu Mo, “Did anything big happen recently?”
“Uh… nothing,” she shook her head first, then seemed to remember something, “Well, the princess of Dong Zhou arrived at Heavenly Sword Sect. The master wants us to go see her.”
‘Phew…’
Bai Feng let out a relieved breath. So it’s just about welcoming the princess!
Wait, wait, the princess is also quite dangerous!
Looks like the source of his unease has been pinpointed—probably this Dong Zhou princess.
“Just to greet her? Do we have to go too?” Bai Feng frowned.
Usually, this kind of thing isn’t something the disciples need to handle, right?
Bai Yu Mo shook her head. “I don’t know either. But the Sect Master ordered it, and other peak disciples will go too. There must be some reason.”
“Hmm… I think I get it now,” Bai Feng said, rubbing his forehead. It’s probably that classic face-saving routine—like a master bringing his proudest disciple to show off to outsiders, showcasing Heavenly Sword Sect’s strength. The Sect Master probably just wants to flaunt a bit.
If that’s the case, then no big deal. Just be a wooden post—no big responsibilities.
Plus, if all other peaks send their disciples but you don’t go, it might attract more attention.
In many cases, avoiding everyone just draws more eyes. Better to blend into the crowd; then no one will notice you.
Well, as long as the other side isn’t the Child of Destiny.
“So, let’s go see what this Dong Zhou princess looks like.”
