Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

Chapter 239: Chapter 239 Just Friends!

After exchanging a few casual remarks, Yue Yunlan came in a hurry and left just as quickly.

Of course, this wasn’t really what Yue Yunlan had intended. She had thought that Ling Feng would offer to see her out or something, but the idiot, as always, was oblivious to such subtleties and simply bid her farewell with a clasped-hand salute.

Though Yue Yunlan was anxious in her heart, it wasn’t appropriate to voice it out directly. All she could do was to give Ling Feng a glare, filling her eyes with silent reproach.

After all, discussing the illness of the Cangqiong Sect Master in such a public setting was out of the question.

After Yue Yunlan left, the joint evening gala of the Five Academies continued, but the atmosphere had dimmed. The crowd no longer exhibited their prior enthusiasm, and the whole event proceeded with a lack of interest.

As for Ling Feng, the star of the night, who had been personally invited by Goo Tengfeng to join the East Courtyard Sword Team and had attracted the favorable attention of He Zhongjie, the most beautiful woman of the Central Courtyard, he had also left the event early to return to the Tianshu East Courtyard.

The night grew darker, and the evening breeze by the river brought a touch of coolness.

Ling Feng walked back along the path beside the riverbank.

At that moment, there was a sudden rustling from behind. Ling Feng pursed his lips and stopped, speaking faintly without turning around, ”Qin Wanwan, come out.”

Following behind Ling Feng was indeed Qin Wanwan.

After she saw Ling Feng leave, she had unconsciously followed him. She had some questions in her heart and felt uncomfortable not voicing them out.

”What are you talking about? I’m just heading back to the Tianxuan East Courtyard, not following you!” Qin Wanwan bit her lip, contradicting her own feelings.

Ling Feng turned around and looked at Qin Wanwan, saying faintly, ”Good, I have something to say to you too.”

Qin Wanwan’s brows relaxed, and she stepped forward with a light and cheerful gait, giggling, ”Look, it’s you who wants to talk to me, not me following you!”

”I apologize for having had some prejudices against you before, but from today onwards, we’re friends, right?” Ling Feng looked into Qin Wanwan’s eyes and said softly.

At least, when He Zhongjie wanted to have a life-and-death duel with him, Qin Wanwan had stood up for him and had even used up one of her favors to make sure he couldn’t accept He Zhongjie’s challenge under any circumstances.

She wasn’t the selfish woman he had imagined her to be.

”We are, friends?” Qin Wanwan blinked her beautiful eyes, ”Psh, I’m not your friend! Don’t forget that you still owe me two favors. I am your ’creditor’!”

”Two?” Ling Feng furrowed his brow, ”Isn’t there only one left?”

”No way, you didn’t agree not to have a life-and-death duel with He Zhongjie, so that doesn’t count. You still owe me two favors, remember!”

Qin Wanwan narrowed her eyes and smiled, her appearance at that moment uncommonly playful and cute.

”Fine, two it is,” Ling Feng shook his head, having no intention of arguing with this woman.

He continued to stride along the riverbank.

Qin Wanwan walked beside him, and after a moment of silence, she clenched her fist and couldn’t help but call out, ”Hey!”

”Hmm?” Ling Feng turned to look at Qin Wanwan, saying calmly, ”What’s up?”

”You... and her...” Qin Wanwan bit her lower lip, hesitated for a long time, and finally asked, ”Do you like her?”

”Uhh...” Ling Feng was taken aback for a moment, ”If it’s the liking between friends, then I guess I do. But, just as friends.”

”Really just friends?” Qin Wanwan blinked her eyes and felt a sense of pleasure she couldn’t quite explain.

”Just friends,” Ling Feng frowned slightly, feeling that this woman was asking too many questions, and also, he was actually answering her silly inquiries.

”So, I’m your friend too, right?”

”I said yes, so it’s yes,” Ling Feng nodded and quickened his pace in silence.

”Hey, stinky Ling Feng, why are you walking so fast!” Qin Wanwan had to muster her True Qi to execute her movement technique, barely keeping up with Ling Feng. She asked again, ”Since we’re all friends, if she and I both fell into the river at the same time, who would you save first?”

Ling Feng’s mouth twitched a few times, ”You are all martial artists, a little river water can’t drown you.”

”What if we had no cultivation and were just ordinary people?” Qin Wanwan’s eyes widened as she stared into Ling Feng’s eyes, ”Who would you save first?”

”...” Ling Feng was completely speechless and promptly executed the Carefree Sword Step, leaving Qin Wanwan far behind. He left her with a distant shout, ”We’ll talk about it next time!”

”Stinky Ling Feng, I hate you, I totally hate you!” Qin Wanwan stamped her feet in anger, this jerk, doesn’t he know how to sweet-talk a girl? Even a white lie would do.

But the next moment, Qin Wanwan cheerfully made her way back towards the Tianxuan East Courtyard, muttering to herself: ”Hehe, she is a friend, and I am a friend, hmph! I won’t lose to her!”

...

After returning to the Tianshu East Courtyard, Ling Feng went straight to his room, sat down cross-legged, and prepared to practice the Xuanyuan True Technique.

As for Qin Wanwan or Yue Yunlan, he temporarily cast them aside. At least for now, he didn’t have much desire to deal with those romantic affairs.

The Human Dao Divine Pattern condensed, and sixty breaths later, Ling Feng slowly exhaled a turbid breath.

True Qi merged into the Qi Sea Elixir Field, and the seventh meridian seemed on the verge of breaking through as well.

”Starting from tomorrow, my life at Heavenly Position Academy, in addition to the Martial Arts Arena, the classroom, and Elder Yan’s Spiritual Medicine Garden, will have an additional place.”

The East Courtyard Sword Team!

He had already agreed to Goo Tengfeng’s invitation and accepted the offer to become a member of the East Courtyard Sword Team.

Thinking of Goo Tengfeng’s formidable aura, a surge of excitement welled up in him.

He wondered what kind of training the members of the Sword Team underwent on a daily basis?

He wondered how powerful the companions in the Sword Team were?

At the thought, Ling Feng couldn’t help but feel his blood boiling.

This night was destined to be sleepless!

...

Generally speaking, for a new Yellow Character Disciple who had just joined the Heavenly Position Academy, the Sword Team should be something quite foreign and almost inaccessible.

Because the strength of Yellow Character Disciples generally did not meet the standard required for a formal team sword-fighting competition.

However, Ling Feng was not an ordinary person. Just a month after joining Heavenly Position Academy, he was personally recruited by Goo Tengfeng, the captain of the East Courtyard Sword Team.

For this reason, Goo Tengfeng had specially notified the so-called Devil Instructor, Leng Jianfeng.

From then on, Ling Feng would roughly spend half of each month unable to participate in the regular training sessions. Instead, he would join the Sword Team members for team-coordination training.

Leng Jianfeng naturally had no objections. In fact, with Ling Feng’s talent, even if he spent only a tenth of his time training, his progress would still be much faster than that of ordinary students.

Moreover, having a student directly recruited by the Sword Team coming from under his wing gave Leng Jianfeng another reason to fiercely taunt the ordinary students. Why would he object?

The next day, Ling Feng got up early and washed up, holding the Sword Team Token that Goo Tengfeng had given him. He crossed the activity area of the Yellow Character Disciples and went directly to the core area of Heavenly Position Academy.

This was also the range where A-class Disciples roamed.

However, faced with the row upon row of nearly identical buildings, Ling Feng felt somewhat of a headache.

The problem was that he hadn’t asked clearly the day before - just where exactly was the East Courtyard Sword Team’s training ground?

Just as Ling Feng was at his wit’s end, a soft and somewhat surprised voice came from behind, ”Eh? Ling Feng, why is it you?”
