Chapter 76: Scheming Behind One's Back

  Luo Yunfei smiled lightly: "I also said this to Master Zi Xiao in the past, but was scolded. I reckon that when Master Zi Xiao comes back, she'll still have to spit a few mouthfuls of saliva at me before feeling relieved."

  Yuan Changlao was puzzled: "Zixiao Shishu? What does this matter have to do with Zixiao Shishu?"

  Luo Yunfei put down the book in his hand and continued, "To be honest with you, but you must keep this a secret. If not, Zi Xiao Shu will blame us and we'll both be in trouble. The thing is..."

  Elder Yuan stared at Lu Yunfei with a mixture of shock and embarrassment for half a moment before slapping his forehead and exclaiming, "I said you old scoundrel, why did you have to take in an inner sect disciple as your personal disciple? So you knew all along! You're truly cunning and shameless. This is cheating! I'm telling you, brother, I don't have many days left to live, and my few useless disciples aren't making progress either...

  "Get out!" Luo Yunfei waved his hand repeatedly: "I can even send you to the position of Feiyang Peak's sect master! As for Ye Feng, don't even think about it!"

  "Pfft! I don't care about the position of Sect Master!" Elder Yuan spat a mouthful of saliva on the ground: "This Sect Master position was obtained by drawing lots and getting the short bamboo stick. You're thinking of letting someone take over the Sect Master's position?"

  Luo Yunfei smiled awkwardly: "In short, everything else is fine to discuss, but Ye Feng can't be discussed. His alchemy level is beyond your imagination, and it's hard to fathom. Even Zi Xiaosheng has to ask this kid for guidance sometimes when it comes to alchemy."

  "Is Master Zi Xiao asking that little brat for guidance?" Elder Yuan's mouth twitched uncontrollably, his eyeballs almost popping out. Master Zi Xiao's alchemy skills were among the best in the sect, yet he was actually seeking advice from this young whippersnapper!

  Elder Yuan's big eyes spun around in his eye sockets a few times and said, "Heh heh, I've always wanted to refine a furnace of 'Blue Field Jade Dew Dan', so that I can live for a few more years. The formula for this dan has always been uncertain, and although I have prepared many types of medicinal materials, I don't know how to combine them properly. Since this young man's dan-refining skills are so profound, I'll ask him to guide me later."

  Luo Yunfei smiled and said, "This is possible, but this kid is a mastermind who knows how to do business. If you want to make some profit from him, it's like trying to pluck a hair from an iron rooster - not a single hair will be pulled out unless you give him something in return, then he'll tell you everything without hesitation."

  "What benefits?" Yuan Zhang slapped his chest and made a drum-like sound: "I am the true heir of Fei Yang Peak! Even if it's a true heir disciple, they have to fawn on me when they see me. Do I still need to give him benefits? Don't joke around!"

  "No kidding." Luo Yunfei shook his head lightly, patting Yuan Changlao's shoulder with his palm, a sympathetic expression on his face: "Other true disciples really need to fawn over you, but Ye Feng doesn't. Do you dare bully him? Take advantage of him? Believe it or not, when Zi Xiaosheng returns, he'll definitely make you pay!"

  "This... " Yuan Chang's tall and straight body was like a deflated balloon, Zixiao Shifu said that not to mention Feiyang Peak or Nitian Sword Sect, the entire Dongzhou is all about being horizontal! They belong to the crab family! With a violent temper, strong power, and expertise in fighting, they always say they are good at alchemy.

  "Yes, Master Zixiao. Lu Yunfeng pointed to the ceiling above his head: "Others have Ye Feng above them, and Master Zixiao is backing him up! You're looking for trouble with him, are you asking for a beating? Or should you be thinking about how to minimize your losses?"

  "Could it be..." Yuan Zhang's face was filled with a suspicious and mysterious expression, as he leaned in close to Luo Yunfei's ear and lowered his voice: "Ye Feng is actually the illegitimate son of Zi Xiao Shifu."

  Luo Yunfei stared at Yuan Changlao in silence, this senior brother came out of seclusion and suspected everyone he saw of having an illegitimate child. Was it that when people were about to die, they wanted to have a child?

  Elder Yuan patted his thigh and said: "Things should not be delayed, I will go back and prepare now, another day to find this kid to discuss the matter of alchemy."

  Luo Yunfei raised his voice and said to Yuan Changlao's departing back: "Prepare more things, this kid has never done a losing business."

  Sun Zhengyang returned to his own cave, plopped himself down in a chair, and the more he thought about the "Kui Mu Lang Pi" incident, the angrier he became. His two withered hands trembled incessantly as he thought to himself: Who does this little brat think he is? A mere inner sect disciple actually dares to defy my will! Even his master has to show me respect, let alone a disciple. I'll deal with him sooner or later.

  Just as Sun Zhengyang was burning with anger, a voice came from outside the door: "Junior Sun Fengtao has come to pay his respects to the great elder who passed on the skill."

  It came just in time. Sun Zhengyang smiled slightly and raised his arm to wave lightly, and the two heavy stone gates slowly opened.

  Sun Fengtao walked in quickly, holding a silver-white "Kui Mu Wolf Skin" and knelt down in front of Sun Zhengyang, saying: "Today, Sun Er defeated the ferocious wolf demon in a trial with the help of the 'Greedy Wolf Treasure Mirror' you gave me. I also obtained this 'Kui Mu Wolf War Decision' written on the Kui Mu Wolf Skin, which I specially brought to present to you."

  Sun Zhengyang's face suddenly bloomed with joy, thinking: Look at that, Ye Feng is such an ungrateful kid, I asked him for it and he didn't give it to me, but my own grandson didn't even wait for me to ask before offering it himself.

  Sun Fengtao wasn't stupid either. After the competition, he held the "Kui Mu Wolf Skin" and returned to his own cave under the escort of many younger brothers. He studied with everyone for half a day before suddenly having an epiphany: he didn't have any demonic beasts, and this "Kui Mu Wolf Battle Decision" could only be cultivated by those who practiced demonic cultivation. He couldn't practice it himself, so the wolf skin in his hand was just an ordinary piece of wolf skin with no use whatsoever. Why not offer it to his grandfather instead?

  Anyway, later Grandpa will definitely keep this thing for himself. Such a rare treasure, Grandpa will surely love it so much that he won't be able to bear to part with it. Who knows, when the time comes and he's in high spirits, he might even give me one of those demonic beasts.

  Sun Fengtao was extremely excited and hurriedly sent away all the fellow disciples in the cave, then ran to Sun Zhengyang's cave.

  Looking at the small piece of wolf skin in Sun Fengtao's hands, Sun Zhengyang smiled and nodded, saying: "Sun Er, do you know what this thing is?"

  Sun Fengtao knelt on the ground and said, "Sun's son had heard the Transmission Master say before that he was relatively familiar with this object, knowing it was a rare treasure, so he came to present it to you, old sir."

  Sun Zhengyang was delighted to say: "You're still sensible, if you were to refine this wolf skin and then combine it with your 'Greedy Wolf Treasure Mirror', not only would you be a true disciple, but even the 'Three Halls and Seven Caves' of Feiyang Peak would have a place for you."
