Chapter 271: Ye Beixuan – Master, I wish to ask for senior brothers and sisters' help
"Xiao Mu, I didn't expect us master and disciple to meet again so soon."
Chu Feng spoke with a cheerful smile.
Fang Mu respectfully replied, "Grateful for master's concern. This disciple is both anxious and honored."
He had only been at Wendao Academy for a few months. Unlike Yunlan Sect, Wendao Academy was full of powerful figures.
And the master standing before him was one of the most formidable among them.
He had only heard about his master's strength in the past. But after arriving at Wendao Academy and experiencing it firsthand, he realized just how terrifying his master truly was.
On Miao Miao Mountain, any one of the senior brothers or sisters could be considered top-tier prodigies in the outside world.
When Fang Mu first arrived, he had tried to consult each of them, only to be astonished by every single one of them in turn.
It was the first time he truly felt like an ordinary person, with not the slightest trace of being a prodigy.
Chu Feng smiled and said, "Now that you're here, focus on cultivating well. By the way, have you handled your enrollment?"
Fang Mu shook his head. "This disciple has not yet completed the registration procedures."
"Alright then. I'll take you to handle the formalities later."
Only then did Chu Feng shift the topic to the other disciples.
"You've all done well. I've only been away a few short years, and each of you has made great progress in cultivation."
On the way back, Chu Feng had gradually received news of each disciple's breakthroughs.
At present, Xiao Chen had reached the seventh layer of the Spirit Nurturing realm; Cao Youqian, fourth layer of Spirit Nurturing; Qin Qin, second layer of Spirit Nurturing; Wang Baole, eighth layer of Heavenly Origin; Ye Beixuan, eighth layer of True Fate; Xu Caichen, seventh layer of True Fate; Han Ping, fourth layer of True Fate; and Chu Caiyi, ninth layer of Dao Foundation.
Xiao Chen respectfully said, "It is all thanks to master's teachings that we've achieved such progress."
Cao Youqian echoed, "Indeed. Without master's guidance, we may have remained mediocre our entire lives."
The others all nodded in agreement as well.
"Alright, enough flattery for now. It's been so long since we've all been together — let's enjoy a good drink. Xiao Pang, go make dinner!" Chu Feng said.
"Leave it to me!"
Xiao Pang ran excitedly toward the kitchen.
Chu Feng then led the group of disciples toward the Miscellaneous Dao Institute.
By evening, the Miscellaneous Dao Institute was filled with the clinking of cups and cheerful faces everywhere.
After the banquet ended—
Elder Bing approached Chu Feng and said directly, "Young master, I plan to enter seclusion to comprehend the visualization diagram you gave me. I won't be able to accompany you in the coming days."
Chu Feng was stunned for a moment, then smiled. "That's a good thing. But before you enter seclusion, aren't you going to visit your disciples?"
Elder Bing replied, "I'm planning to return to the Tianling Institute for this seclusion. Of course, I'll check on my disciples first."
"Alright then."
Chu Feng didn't try to stop her, though he still caught a fleeting trace of disappointment in Elder Bing's eyes.
"Then Bingyan will take her leave."
As Elder Bing turned to leave and just as one foot stepped over the threshold, she suddenly felt a firm hand wrap around her waist.
That hand seemed to carry a kind of magic, causing her entire body to tremble uncontrollably.
Chu Feng leaned in close to Elder Bing's ear and whispered, "Sister Yan is about to enter seclusion — you're not even willing to keep me company for one more night?"
Hearing this, Bingyan's ears flushed red.
"You… how can you bully me like this?"
Chu Feng chuckled. "Then how does sister Yan want me to bully you?"
"You… you…"
Bingyan was almost unable to speak, her body turning soft as she leaned into Chu Feng's arms.
Chu Feng directly scooped Bingyan up in a princess carry, and her hands eagerly wrapped around his neck.
"Feng, can you stop calling me 'sister' or 'younger sister' from now on?"
"Then how should I address you?"
Suddenly, Chu Feng felt the urge to tease her and asked with a mischievous smile.
"Just call me Yan'er."
After speaking, Bingyan didn't dare meet his gaze. Although there had been some subtle flirtation between them in the past, they had never broken that final boundary.
Tonight's events were just her way of testing the waters.
Chu Feng especially liked seeing this cold beauty's conflicted attitude, half rejecting, half welcoming. He leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Yan'er, I thought you'd tell me to call you 'wife'."
Bingyan's face flushed so red it looked like it could bleed. She whispered, "We're not married yet… and I don't want to get married until I break through to Half-Saint."
Chu Feng laughed. "I already promised you. But tonight, I want to collect a little interest first."
"Interest?"
Bingyan widened her beautiful eyes in confusion as she looked at him—only to see Chu Feng lower his head and kiss her.
A door closing sound followed.
The night passed without further words.
The two spent a platonic night together.
The next morning, Elder Bing slipped out of Chu Feng's room like a thief. After confirming no one had noticed her, she breathed a sigh of relief and flew off toward the Tianling Institute.
Chu Feng, as usual, slept in late. But this time, he slept especially well. Smelling the lingering fragrance in the bedding, he couldn't help but smile faintly.
After tidying himself, he headed out into the courtyard.
As soon as he reached the front courtyard, he saw all the disciples gathered there.
"We pay our respects to master!"
Xiao Chen led the group in greeting.
"No need for formalities," Chu Feng replied calmly.
"Thank you, master."
"Sit. As always, I will guide each of you in your cultivation," Chu Feng said, taking his seat to the side.
One after another, the disciples stepped forward with questions, and Chu Feng patiently answered and instructed them.
Unknowingly, the afternoon arrived.
Every disciple gained much from the session, and Elder Bing had also returned from the Tianling Institute.
In the following days, Chu Feng's life was especially fulfilling. Aside from guiding the disciples in cultivation, he spent time playing with the two little girls.
Bai Qian didn't ask Chu Feng for lessons, so he simply let her enjoy playing with Chen Qianqian. Whenever she was ready to cultivate, he would teach her.
That evening—
After finishing his guidance, Ye Beixuan was the first to step forward and bow. "Master, this disciple wishes to go out and travel for a while. I ask for your permission."
"If you want to go, then go. I never restrict your actions."
Chu Feng responded with a warm smile.
Ye Beixuan continued, "To tell the truth, the place I want to go is quite dangerous. I hope you'll allow some of my senior brothers and sisters to lend me their aid."
Oh?
Chu Feng's interest was piqued. He said, "When did you become so steady? That's not like your usual self. If you want help from your senior brothers and sisters, just ask them directly—no need to ask me."
Hearing this, Xiao Chen turned to look at Ye Beixuan and asked seriously, "Junior brother Beixuan, where exactly do you plan to train, and how many helpers do you need?"
Everyone else at the scene also turned their curious gazes toward Ye Beixuan...
