After all, this person is no ordinary figure.
This man, Tuoba Chengan, is second only to one in the Zhutian Sect, revered by thousands.
Faced with such a presence, most juniors would feel intimidated, and when answering his questions, they would need to be cautious.
However, Chu Feng’s response was utterly dismissive of Tuoba Chengan, a dangerous move.
As expected, once Chu Feng spoke, the gazes of the Zhutian Sect members turned hostile, most showing clear displeasure.
“Haha, a genius is indeed a genius, even speaking so distinctly.”
“However, this concerns Young Friend Shura’s privacy. If Young Friend Shura doesn’t wish to share, pretend I never asked.”
“Young Friend Shura, I heard you single-handedly defeated the Secret Cave Saints?”
“Though their reputation is poor, the Secret Cave Saints have some skill.”
“Hearing of Young Friend Shura’s feat, I am deeply impressed.”
“May I ask, Young Friend Shura, could you demonstrate your spirit techniques?”
Unlike the others from the Zhutian Sect, Tuoba Chengan showed no displeasure, instead smiling and continuing to question Chu Feng.
“Sorry, my spirit techniques are for use, not for display,” Chu Feng replied.
Bang!
No sooner had he spoken than someone slammed the table, stood up, pointed at Chu Feng, and roared, “Are you being given too much face? Do you even know who this is?”
The one who stood and rebuked Chu Feng was an elder of the Zhutian Sect.
Unable to tolerate Chu Feng’s behaviour, he lashed out in anger.
“Elder, Young Master Shura is an honoured guest of the Red Robe Holy Land. Please don’t disgrace yourself,” said the head of the Red Robe Holy Land.
Her words stunned the elder.
Everyone understood her intent: she was protecting this young man called Shura.
Though the Red Robe Holy Land was not as powerful as the Zhutian Sect, its head’s strength was equal to Tuoba Chengan’s.
Despite not being part of the Zhutian Sect, the head of the Red Robe Holy Land held considerable status and influence.
Thus, the elder said no more, instead looking to Tuoba Chengan, hoping he would back him up.
“What are you looking at me for? Apologise to Young Friend Shura!” Tuoba Chengan said coldly.
“Apologise?”
At this, everyone from the Zhutian Sect was stunned.
The Zhutian Sect, ruler of the Zhutian Starfield, was always arrogant. When had they ever apologised to a junior?
“What are you waiting for? Do I need to repeat myself?” Tuoba Chengan’s expression darkened.
“Young Master Shura, I lost my composure after drinking. Please don’t take offence,” the elder hurriedly said, bowing to Chu Feng despite his reluctance.
“Forget it,” Chu Feng said casually, waving his hand as if he didn’t take the Zhutian Sect seriously at all.
This infuriated the Zhutian Sect members, even Nan Gong Yifan, usually cold and aloof, kept eyeing Chu Feng with clear hostility.
The banquet soon began.
During the banquet, the Zhutian Sect members tried conversing with Chu Feng, but he remained cold.
Yet, when speaking with the Red Robe Holy Land members, Chu Feng was lively and cheerful.
The contrast in his attitude was stark.
This further irritated the Zhutian Sect members, but none dared lose their temper.
Not only did they need to respect the head of the Red Robe Holy Land, but even their Supreme Elder, Tuoba Chengan, had shown anger. Who would dare provoke this Shura?
In truth, Tuoba Chengan was not a kind man; he had a fiery temper.
His ability to remain smiling after Chu Feng’s repeated rejections was not due to a change in temperament or merely giving face to the Red Robe Holy Land.
There was a crucial reason.
Where did Chu Feng come from?
A junior with such talent and an eccentric temperament, unafraid to disrespect even him.
This made Tuoba Chengan wonder about Shura’s origins.
The Holy Light Galaxy was vast, with countless powerful starfields.
In comparison, the Zhutian Starfield was insignificant within the Holy Light Galaxy.
Faced with a genius of unknown origins like Shura, Tuoba Chengan dared not act recklessly.
If he provoked a colossal force by mistake, the Zhutian Sect could face catastrophic consequences.
Thus, despite his frustration, he could only endure.
But soon, Chu Feng made another move.
Finding the banquet boring, he gave a brief farewell and left.
This further enraged the Zhutian Sect members, as this was a banquet held for them.
Chu Feng calling it boring was tantamount to calling them dull.
They were so furious they could spit blood, their moods utterly ruined.
Yet, they said nothing, swallowing their anger.
Chu Feng’s boldness had its reasons.
First, he despised the Zhutian Sect. Why would he lower himself to perform for them?
Likewise, he wouldn’t engage in friendly banter with them.
Second, Chu Feng knew his mysterious identity made the Zhutian Sect wary.
Thus, he acted fearlessly.
The more arrogant he appeared, the more they might fear him.
Conversely, if he acted humble, they might look down on him.
“Brother Shura, are you there?”
Unexpectedly, just as Chu Feng returned to his residence, someone came to visit.
Most surprising was that the visitor was the leader of the Secret Cave Saints.
“What are you doing here?” Chu Feng asked, frowning upon seeing him.
The Secret Cave Saints were not good people.
Despicable and shameless described them perfectly.
Now, their leader was visiting, calling Chu Feng “Brother Shura.” This made Chu Feng suspect ill intentions.
After all, they used to grit their teeth and call him a “little brat” whenever they saw him.
This sudden change in attitude was too unexpected.
Wasn’t this like a weasel paying respects to a chicken, clearly up to no good?
“Brother Shura, as a guest, you can’t leave me standing outside, can you?” the leader of the Secret Cave Saints said with a grin.
Hearing this, Chu Feng gave a faint smile and invited him in.
Chu Feng wasn’t unaware that the leader could pose a threat.
The Secret Cave Saints had some hidden strength.
Even facing the head of the Red Robe Holy Land, they showed no fear. Chu Feng wasn’t sure if they were bluffing or truly capable of standing against her.
Given their past conflicts, how could Chu Feng not be cautious?
But after some thought, he let them in.
This was the Red Robe Holy Land, after all. Chu Feng believed they wouldn’t dare act against him.
Besides, if they intended to harm him, they could have done so outside, without needing to enter his residence.
