The Art of Chaotic Divinity

Chapter 630: Brothers Reunited!

After performing acupuncture on Yue Zhonglian, Ling Feng explained some matters to Wen Tingguang and a few others. Then, he went to check up on the place where Nangong Yin was being held under house arrest.

Nangong Yin couldn't speak and had lost his cultivation. He was in such a pitiful state and completely helpless, with no one to turn to. He could only wait around for food and hope that the envoy delegation from the Tianyang Empire would come to rescue him.

Little did he know that when the envoy delegation from the Tianyang Empire arrived, it would be the day of his execution!

When Nangong Yin saw Ling Feng approaching, he immediately started screaming in fear, worried that Ling Feng would harm him again.

Ling Feng had no interest in torturing him any further. Shortly after, he left Cangqiong Mountain with Tuoba Yan, waiting for the envoy delegation from the Tianyang Empire to arrive.

...

Early the next morning, after finishing the breakfast prepared by Su Hongxiu, Ling Feng began his daily training.

With only one day left until school started, it was about time for Xiaofan and the others to return.

Sure enough, just as Ling Feng finished practicing the Eight Directions Shatter Abyss sword technique taught by Yan Cangtian, he heard an excited voice outside.

"Big Brother! Big Brother!"

A smile appeared on Ling Feng's lips as he sheathed his sword and looked over. Sure enough, it was Jiang Xiaofan, charging in excitedly.

In the two months they hadn't seen each other, the guy had grown even taller. His bronzed skin and explosive muscles gave him the appearance of a humanoid beast.

His aura, which was now more restrained and profound, indicated that he had definitely broken through the fiftieth meridian gate.

Jiang Xiaofan, carrying a huge sword on his shoulder, strode up to Ling Feng and slammed the sword into the ground with a loud bang. "Big Brother!"

Ling Feng looked at the crack in the ground and smiled wryly. "Xiaofan, are you here to wreak havoc?"

Jiang Xiaofan quickly lifted the sword again and laughed awkwardly. "Sorry, Big Brother. I got a bit too excited."

Ling Feng's eyes fell on the black heavy sword, noting its design as a blunt and weighty weapon. Judging by the impact it made when Jiang Xiaofan casually slammed it into the ground, it must have weighed at least tens of thousands of catties.

"Congratulations on getting a fine sword!" Ling Feng said with a carefree smile. "Why not put it away?"

"Hehe, I can't bear to," Jiang Xiaofan scratched the back of his head and laughed foolishly. "Without this sword on me, I feel too light. It's better to carry it around."

Ling Feng rolled his eyes and couldn't help but chuckle.

This sword was somewhat similar to his Qi-Refining Primordial Locks. While the Primordial Locks tempered his true qi, this heavy sword constantly tempered Jiang Xiaofan's body.

In a few years, this guy might actually be able to tear apart demonic beasts with his bare hands.

"Keeping it with you is good." Ling Feng nodded, and then asked with a smile, "You've progressed so quickly. I assume you experienced a lot of life-and-death battles in the Fearsome Forest?"

"Quite a few." Jiang Xiaofan's gaze was firmer than before. "Big Brother, the captain and the others have returned as well. They sent me to call you and Big Brother Li to the training ground."

"Alright," Ling Feng nodded. With the school term about to begin, it also meant the Five Courts' Sword Team Grand Competition was about to start.

The others had spent the last two months working closely together, but he and Li Bufan would need to reintegrate with the team.

Soon, Ling Feng and Li Bufan set off together for the training ground of the East Court's sword team. Naturally, Tuoba Yan followed them.

Halfway there, they ran into Liu Yunfei and his cousin Qin Wanwan. After a brief chat, they parted ways.

Seeing Qin Wanwan again, Ling Feng couldn't help but think of her sudden confession before, which made him feel somewhat awkward.

Meanwhile, seeing Tuoba Yan by Ling Feng's side, Qin Wanwan couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy.

Of course, someone like Ling Feng, who was quite dense when it came to emotions, wouldn't understand the subtlety of a woman's feelings.

"Ling Feng, you jerk! You big idiot!"

Watching Ling Feng and the others walk away, Qin Wanwan bit her lip and grumbled to herself.

"Honestly, cousin, I think Brother Ling has only ever seen you as a regular friend. You don't have to act like he dumped you or something."

Liu Yunfei couldn't help but advise her in a low voice, "In my opinion, you should give up on him. There are plenty of talented young men in Jiangdu. No need to hang yourself on this one tree."

"Mind your own business!" Qin Wanwan shouted as she shot Liu Yunfei a glare. "One day, I'll make him like me!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Liu Yunfei nodded repeatedly, sighing inwardly, Cousin, am I really that bad? Why do you never notice me?

In truth, Liu Yunfei was quite a tragic figure himself. Always the one Qin Wanwan vented on, he had guarded her like an elder brother all this time.

Unfortunately, perhaps because they were too close, Qin Wanwan always saw him as just a brother. And Liu Yunfei had to constantly remind himself that his feelings for Qin Wanwan were purely familial.

As the saying goes, love brings endless regret, and sorrow that never fades away!

...

Soon, the group arrived at the activity area for the sky-tier students. Ling Feng raised an eyebrow as he suddenly remembered something and said with a smile, "Wait here for a moment. I need to find someone who wants to join the sword team."

"Huh? Who is it?" Jiang Xiaofan asked, slightly puzzled.

"A good friend," Ling Feng replied.

A stunning face flashed through his mind. Perhaps it was the deep impression left on him when they first met that made him instinctively want to protect Mu Qianxue. Somehow, she held a unique place in his heart.

Li Bufan stood with his arms crossed, a cold expression on his face. He already knew who Ling Feng was talking about. Though he hadn't seen Mu Qianxue in action, he had sensed a dangerous aura around her.

"In any case, Xiaofan, Brother Li, just wait here for a bit," Ling Feng said. With a nod, he led Tuoba Yan towards the living quarters of the sky-tier students.

Before long, they arrived at a serene and secluded area.

Even the mystical-tier students had their own private courtyards, so the treatment for sky-tier students was naturally much more lavish.

However, the difficulty of becoming a sky-tier student was not to be underestimated. Out of the nearly thousand yellow-tier students recruited in each batch, only about forty to fifty managed to rise to the sky-tier.

Hence, the living quarters of the sky-tier students could be described as luxurious.

Private alchemy rooms, gravity rooms, medicinal herb gardens... These facilities were nearly on par with the amenities provided to regular mentors.

"Tianqiao Pavilion... Mm-hmm, this is the place!"

Finally, Ling Feng stopped in front of a quiet, elegant courtyard. He stepped forward and knocked on the door, calling out softly, "Qianxue, it's me, Ling Feng!"
