“You lowly wretch.”
“You failed to seduce Chu Feng, and now you want to drive a wedge between me and my brother?”
“Do you think I don’t know about what happened between you and Hei Yao before? Do you think I don’t know what kind of person you are?”
Song Xi’s face was full of fury as he roared at Wang Ziyàn.
“Song senior brother, you can know a person’s face but not their heart. I really didn’t lie to you. Everything I said is true.”
Wang Ziyàn was still unwilling to give up and kept defending herself.
“Get lost. If you dare speak ill of Chu Feng again, I will kill you.”
At this point, killing intent surged in Song Xi’s eyes.
Seeing the situation turn bad, Wang Ziyàn became frightened. She quickly got up and fled from Song Xi’s residence.
“Damn it.”
After Wang Ziyàn left, Song Xi punched out fiercely, shattering many objects in the hall into pieces.
At this moment, Song Xi’s eyes held not only anger but also complex emotions.
…
In the following time, no one disturbed Chu Feng again.
However, Chu Feng still could not find a way to unlock the single soul.
On the third day, Chu Feng took the initiative to go to Song Xi’s residence.
Because this day was the one Song Xi had agreed with Chu Feng beforehand to set out for training.
And Chu Feng now knew that the place for this training was a location called Snow Domain Heavenly Peak.
Snow Domain Heavenly Peak contained many heavenly treasures. If one was lucky, one could find some cultivation resources there.
But the most important thing was that Snow Domain Heavenly Peak itself was a grand formation. It had the same effect as the Frost Spirit Waterfall, which could enhance a martial cultivator’s comprehension.
However, the power of Snow Domain Heavenly Peak far surpassed that of the Frost Spirit Waterfall.
Snow Domain Heavenly Peak required the accumulation of formation power and released its power only once a year.
Therefore, Snow Domain Heavenly Peak opened only once a year.
Moreover, during each opening, the total number of disciples from the four courtyards, East Dragon, West Tiger, South Sparrow, and North Xuan, who could go to Snow Domain Heavenly Peak could not exceed five hundred.
Among them, East Dragon Courtyard had three hundred spots.
West Tiger Courtyard had one hundred spots.
South Sparrow Courtyard had eighty spots.
But North Xuan Courtyard had only twenty spots.
Although North Xuan Courtyard had very few spots, Song Xi had authority over this training and had already reserved a spot for Chu Feng.
So Chu Feng did not need to worry about getting a spot.
At first, Chu Feng actually had no interest in this training.
He had only agreed because of Song Xi’s enthusiastic invitation.
But in the past two days, Chu Feng had made no progress in breaking the Wolong Soul Armour.
Since Snow Domain Heavenly Peak was such a wondrous place, Chu Feng wanted to give it a try. Perhaps he might gain some inspiration there. If so, he might find a way to break the Wolong Soul Armour.
At this moment, several figures had already gathered inside Song Xi’s residence.
Many of them were familiar faces. They were the most outstanding among the younger generation disciples of North Xuan Courtyard at present.
Clearly, they all had the qualifications and had not joined this training.
They had come here to gather and prepare to head to Snow Domain Heavenly Peak together later.
“Brother Chu Feng, why are you here?”
However, when they saw Chu Feng, some disciples looked at him with surprise on their faces.
Their expressions were as if they found Chu Feng’s presence here very unexpected.
But at the previous banquet, Song Xi had clearly announced in public that Chu Feng had a spot for this training.
Meanwhile, Song Xi appeared somewhat awkward and even avoided looking Chu Feng in the eye.
“Is there a change?”
Chu Feng did not want to make things difficult for Song Xi. After walking up beside him, he asked quietly.
“Chu Feng, I’m truly sorry. Earlier I let you join the training because Hei Yao’s younger brother, Hei Zong, was injured, which freed up a spot.”
“But now his injuries have improved a lot, so I thought it would be better to let Hei Zong go instead.”
Song Xi explained to Chu Feng.
He spoke openly and directly, without lowering his voice or using secret transmission. He said it straight out.
“Junior brother Chu Feng, don’t take it to heart. That spot originally belonged to my younger brother.”
Hei Yao also spoke up.
When he said this, there was a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
Wang Ziyàn secretly sneered as well.
Although on that day her attempt to sow discord had been punished by Song Xi, today the change of person was Song Xi’s own decision.
Therefore, Wang Ziyàn knew that her provocation had still succeeded.
“It’s fine. You don’t need to apologise to me.”
“I was only filling in for a spot anyway. Since senior brother Hei Zong is recovered, it is only right that he should go.”
Chu Feng did not want Song Xi to feel burdened. He even smiled and patted Song Xi on the shoulder.
“Brother Chu Feng, don’t feel sad.”
“You’re still young, and your talent is so outstanding. Next year… there will definitely be a spot for you.”
Hei Yao added.
“Do I look like I’m sad?”
Chu Feng asked.
“Brother Chu Feng, why force a smile? Even if you’re upset, we can understand.”
“Brothers, am I right?”
After Hei Yao said this, he looked back at the others behind him.
“Yes, yes, yes. Junior brother Chu Feng, they say a real man doesn’t cry easily, but that’s only because he hasn’t reached the point of heartbreak yet.”
“If you’re upset, just cry it out. We can all understand.”
At this point, their mockery was already very obvious, even deliberately provocative.
But Song Xi remained silent, just lowering his head without speaking.
This made Chu Feng realise that this matter… was connected to Song Xi.
Just like before, their respect for Chu Feng had been because of Song Xi’s face.
Normally, they would never dare to belittle and mock him like this in front of Song Xi.
If it were only these people, Chu Feng could ignore them or teach them a lesson.
But since it involved Song Xi, Chu Feng felt a sour ache in his heart.
After all, in the past, Chu Feng had treated Song Xi quite well.
Could people’s hearts really be so unable to withstand trials?
Had Song Xi really been successfully provoked by Wang Ziyàn?
But Chu Feng did not make things difficult for Song Xi, nor for the others. He simply turned around, preparing to leave.
However, at that moment, several figures quickly flew over.
When they saw these figures, even Song Xi and the others hurriedly bowed in greeting.
Because the arrivals were the elders of North Xuan Courtyard.
Dao Qinian was among them.
However, the strongest one here was not Dao Qinian.
It was an old man wearing a Daoist crown, exuding an air of immortal grace.
This person was named Li Boyi and was one of the ten enforcement elders of North Xuan Courtyard. He was a Martial Venerable realm powerhouse.
“Disciples greet the enforcement elder.”
Upon seeing Elder Li Boyi, Song Xi hurried forward.
“Song Xi, have the spots been finalised?”
Elder Li Boyi asked Song Xi.
“Reporting to the enforcement elder, the spots have been finalised.”
“Please take a look.”
Song Xi stepped forward and handed a scroll to Li Boyi.
Li Boyi received the scroll with a smile. Before taking it, he deliberately glanced at Chu Feng, then opened the scroll.
But after opening it and taking just one look, his expression changed.
The smile vanished instantly, replaced by a flash of anger.
“Song Xi, what are you playing at?”
Li Boyi directly threw the scroll in front of Song Xi.
