Chapter 627: Who Says a Beautiful Woman Can't Be a Maid?
Under Wen Tingguang's puzzled gaze, Ling Feng walked into the main hall and called towards a nearby room, "Yan'er, come with me for a trip outside!"
His shout brought not only Tuoba Yan but also Su Hongxiu out of the room. It turned out that Tuoba Yan had taken a keen interest in alchemy, so the two women had been studying it together inside.
Su Hongxiu was fine, but Tuoba Yan's cheeks were smudged with dark ash, making her look rather comical.
Ling Feng shook his head and smiled. He raised his hand to brush the dust off Tuoba Yan's face and said with a slight pout, "Yan'er, follow me out. As for you Hongxiu, stay behind and guard the house."
"Mhmm, mhmm," Su Hongxiu nodded repeatedly, while Tuoba Yan's face turned icy. She glared at Ling Feng as he reached towards her and bit out, "What are you trying to do?"
"The dust on your face!"
Ling Feng was left speechless. This woman really kept everyone at arm's length.
Tuoba Yan bit her lip and wiped the dust off herself, her expression cold. "Just go, I will follow."
Ling Feng shrugged. Her attitude was truly unpredictable. Sometimes she seemed to be on good terms with him, and at other times, she pushed him away. Perhaps this was what people meant when they said a woman's heart was like the ocean, deep and unfathomable!
"Alright, then follow along!" Ling Feng tapped his forehead in exasperation and walked over to Wen Tingguang. He motioned with his mouth, "Brother Wen, let's go."
Wen Tingguang glanced at Tuoba Yan and Su Hongxiu in the hall and couldn't help but ask, "Who are these two young ladies?"
"They're more or less my maids," Ling Feng replied with a casual smile. "But because of certain reasons, Yan'er has to stay within a specific distance from me, so I have to bring her along."
"Stay within a certain distance?" Wen Tingguang shook his head in disbelief. "What kind of bizarre situation is this? Kid, you're not trying to fool me, are you? Be honest, is that girl your little wife?"
"..."
Ling Feng's face darkened as he almost spit out blood. "Brother Wen, where's your mind going? Also, please don't say something like that in front of her."
"Haha, fair enough. You really are slow on the uptake, kid!" Wen Tingguang chuckled. "Let's go. We'll head to Cangqiong Mountain first."
...
After leaving Tianwei Academy, Wen Tingguang immediately activated his movement technique and soared into the sky, heading swiftly toward Cangqiong Mountain.
He intended to test Ling Feng's speed, but to his surprise, Ling Feng's speed was not much slower than his. Ling Feng spread his wings of true qi, his breath was steady, and the foundation of his true qi was incredibly solid.
Even more impressive was Tuoba Yan. With the complete Tiance Mirror, her Tiance power was even stronger than before. Combined with the unpredictability of her Tianheng Technique, if a fight broke out, Wen Tingguang might not even be able to handle her.
"This little girl is no simple character!"
Wen Tingguang noticed the black-white quad wings behind Tuoba Yan. The energy fluctuations from them were neither true qi nor elemental qi, but the flow of power reached the level of the Spiritual Element Realm.
To think this little girl possessed such strength... It truly shocked Wen Tingguang.
"Ling Feng, what kind of power does she possess? I've never seen it before."
"Brother Wen, have you ever heard of the Tiance Clan?" Ling Feng asked with a slight smile.
"The Tiance Clan?" Wen Tingguang thought for a moment, and then his eyes widened in realization. "Could it be from the lineage of Great Emperor Tiance?"
"Exactly," Ling Feng responded with a faint smile.
"So, it's that kind of power!" Wen Tingguang sighed in amazement. "Great Emperor Tiance was one of history's unmatched geniuses! So, this little girl is a descendant of Great Emperor Tiance!"
"Yes," Ling Feng replied, touching his nose as he recalled how not too long ago, he had encountered the undying soul of Great Emperor Tiance in the imperial tomb and had nearly lost his life.
Even now, the memory still sent chills down his spine.
"This girl has quite a background, and she's so breathtakingly beautiful. Is she really just your maid?" Wen Tingguang asked, looking highly skeptical.
"Is there some rule that says a beautiful woman can't be a maid?" Ling Feng replied with a laugh.
"You rascal!" Wen Tingguang rolled his eyes. There was no fault in that logic, after all.
As they chatted, the three quickly arrived at Cangqiong Mountain. With Wen Tingguang leading the way, they encountered no obstacles.
Before they could even enter the mountain gate, two figures stood waiting outside, gazing into the distance as if expecting someone.
"It's those two girls!"
Wen Tingguang chuckled, "Kid, Lan really treats you well."
"Mhmm." Ling Feng nodded. "Miss Yue is one of my best friends, after all."
Wen Tingguang's mouth twitched slightly. He had the sudden urge to knock some sense into Ling Feng's head.
This kid, why is he so dense?
Does he really think Lan's feelings are just ordinary friendship?
Even I get anxious watching him!
"Miss, Elder Wen has brought Mr. Ling with him!" Qiao Qiao, sharp-eyed as ever, pointed excitedly down the mountain path. "See, I was right! Waiting here definitely paid off!"
"Yes, yes!" Yue Yunlan stretched out a slender finger and lightly tapped Qiao Qiao's forehead. "You cheeky girl, don't go running your mouth later!"
"I'm just looking out for you, Miss!" Qiao Qiao pouted. "Mr. Ling is perfect in every way, except for being a bit thick-headed. He's practically..."
Qiao Qiao paused to think, and then blurted out, "The number one idiot under heaven!"
As Wen Tingguang and the others approached, Qiao Qiao suddenly noticed the incredibly beautiful woman following close behind Ling Feng. Even as someone who considered her own appearance quite good, Qiao Qiao felt a surge of inferiority.
It wasn't just her beauty. There was an aloof, otherworldly aura about her, like a goddess descended from the heavens.
"So... so beautiful!" Qiao Qiao blinked, and then quickly shook her head. A sense of danger welled up in her heart. She gritted her teeth and said, "Miss, that blockhead brought another beauty with him! And she's so incredibly beautiful! She's not even inferior to you!"
Yue Yunlan shook her head, biting her lip. "There are countless beautiful women in this world. What does my appearance matter?"
However, a sour feeling welled up in her heart. While she was confident that she wasn't any less attractive than Tuoba Yan, why had Ling Feng brought this woman to the Cangqiong Sect with him? Was she somehow especially important to him? Or could she be... his love interest?
There was no denying it. Women just had a tendency to overthink.
"Bah! Bah! Bah! That's not right!" Qiao Qiao quickly spat, shaking her head and correcting herself. "That woman may be beautiful, but she's cold and emotionless. She's nothing compared to our Miss!"
Before long, Ling Feng and Wen Tingguang had arrived at the mountain gate. Wen Tingguang stroked his long beard and smiled warmly. "Lan, why did you wait here just for your Uncle Wen? Haha!"
"Bah! Bah! Bah! You shameless old man!" Qiao Qiao rolled her eyes at Wen Tingguang and huffed, "My Miss wasn't waiting for you!"
Yue Yunlan turned and shot Qiao Qiao a glare, before gently biting her lip. She bowed slightly to Wen Tingguang and Ling Feng, her voice soft. "Uncle Wen, Mr. Ling."
"Miss Yue," Ling Feng returned the greeting with a cupped fist and laughed heartily. "The last time we met in Duling City, it was a brief encounter. I hope Miss Yue has been well."
"Well? Hardly!" Qiao Qiao, hands on her hips, puffed up with indignation and jumped out. "You blockhead, hurry up and tell us! Who is she?"
Wen Tingguang quietly stepped back a few paces, watching the scene unfold with great amusement. He chuckled inwardly, "Haha, this will be interesting!"
