Chapter 1343 1302: I'm Sorry, I... I Was Late

"Get lost." At this moment, Chen Fei glanced at them, too lazy to make another move, and waved his hand as if shooing flies.

Those experts from the Cang Clan immediately felt as if they were pardoned, casting a vicious glance at Chen Fei in secret, and then they bolted away in a flurry.

Seeing this scene, everyone fell into a frightening silence.

Logically speaking, the Cang Clan was considered extremely powerful in the latter half of the Inner Region, with strong individuals like clouds and deep foundations. But now? The dead were dead, and the rest fled; not a single person dared to speak a word. If this were to spread, it would be an utter disgrace to the Cang Clan in the latter half of the Inner Region!

Besides them, the cultivators from the Flower God Sect also wore somewhat unpleasant or rather strange expressions. They just couldn't understand why someone as esteemed as Elder Longsun would have such an attitude towards this man, even showing a hint of reverence, a hint of fear...

"F- Fei, Brother Fei, who exactly are you?" Tu Tian stammered, looking at Chen Fei and asked.

"Who am I?" Chen Fei glanced at him and said indifferently, "I am a friend of your senior brother Zhen Jingkong."

"Bu- but why do you know the formations of our Big Dipper Star Sect?" Tu Tian was getting confused and stuttered. It was one thing that Chen Fei was formidable, but to be an Array Master, and more importantly, there were traces of their Big Dipper Star Sect's legacy involved. It was truly shocking.

"Your Big Dipper Star Sect's formations?" Chen Fei was momentarily stunned, then said, "I asked him to teach me formations for a while before."

"Then, how could you possibly know the Triple Layer Array? How could you master the Triple Layer Array?" Tu Tian pressed on relentlessly, unable to help himself. Outsiders might not know the prowess of the Triple Layer Array, but how could he, the first Array Master prodigy of the Big Dipper Star Sect, not know?

A thousand years ago, their Big Dipper Star Sect, based on formations and stars, founded the foundation of a thousand-year legacy, and these formations were naturally their specialty! The trump card.

But even so, the Triple Layer Array, such a monstrous technique, had been mastered by less than ten people in their Big Dipper Star Sect's over a thousand-year history. Nowadays, no one can master it!

Yet now, Chen Fei effortlessly displayed the technique of the Triple Layer Array before him, how could this not shock Tu Tian?

"Why is it impossible for me to know the Triple Layer Array? As I said, your senior brother Zhen Jingkong taught me." Naturally, Chen Fei had learned this technique from inherited memories, but he couldn't say it, so he had to pull Zhen Jingkong out as a shield again.

"My senior brother taught you?" Tu Tian's mouth twitched, roaring inside. He wanted to say that his senior brother Zhen Jingkong had only barely mastered the Double Layer Array after returning to the sect recently, how could he have taught you the Triple Layer Array?!

But he also sensed that Chen Fei didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, so he shook his head to avoid being annoying and said no more.

"This girl, Yanran, thanks you, sir!" At this moment, Li Yanran bowed deeply to Chen Fei, thanking him, "If it weren't for your intervention, I really wouldn't know how to deal with Cang Jue's entanglement, so thank you, sir."

"No need to thank me, he brought it upon himself." Chen Fei shook his head, saying, "Besides, even if I didn't make a move, wasn't there still this guy?"

Chen Fei glanced at Tu Tian. The latter's face tightened, a bit unnatural, and reluctantly smiled at Li Yanran, "Miss Yanran, long time no see, how have you been?"

Li Yanran's gaze towards Tu Tian was also somewhat peculiar at this moment, and after a long silence, she merely sighed lightly, "Thank you for your concern, Young Master Tu Tian, Yanran is doing well."

"Doing well?" Tu Tian suddenly didn't know what to feel, unable to speak, his actions appeared a bit awkward.

Seeing this, Chen Fei glanced at them, then slowly said, "Miss Yanran, can we talk in private?"

"Talk in private?" Both Tu Tian and Li Yanran were taken aback. The latter reacted swiftly, nodding quickly, "Of course, how about we go to the pleasure boat above to talk, sir?"

"Alright, you lead the way." Chen Fei nodded.

Following that, Li Yanran led Chen Fei towards the pleasure boat. Tu Tian hesitated for a moment but gritted his teeth and followed.

On the pleasure boat, inside a room filled with prohibitions.

"Sir, may I ask what you need from Yanran?" Li Yanran sat obediently on a wooden chair, asking Chen Fei.

"Are you the Saintess of the Flower God Sect?" Chen Fei asked.

"Yes." Li Yanran nodded.

"Do you know Pei Wanning?" Chen Fei asked again.

"Pei Wanning?" Li Yanran was momentarily stunned, instinctively asking, "Senior, are you here to find her?"

"Why, is there a problem?" Chen Fei frowned and asked.

"No, no, no problem, just..." Li Yanran hurriedly replied when she saw Chen Fei frown, "I know Pei Wanning, and she is also one of the Saintesses of our Flower God Sect, but she seems to have caught the eye of the Spear-wielding War King from the Spear Lifting Sect, so, so..."

She acknowledged that Chen Fei was very formidable, but the Spear-wielding War King was an invincible kingly figure, in her subconscious the two were worlds apart! If Chen Fei really intended, as she thought, to compete with the Spear-wielding War King for a woman, then wouldn't that be too foolish?

For a woman, becoming enemies with an invincible king, is it worth it?

Surely any sensible person would know what choice to make, right?

"I know." Chen Fei interrupted expressionlessly and calmly said, "Tell me about her current situation, is she well?"

"He..." Li Yanran hesitated upon hearing this, then sighed softly, saying, "If Wann Qing knew you were coming to find her, she might be very happy. However, she's not doing well right now."

"Not well? Why?" Chen Fei's eyes narrowed as he spoke.

"For some reason, she seems resistant to becoming the Spear-wielding War King's woman and keeps delaying. So, a few days ago, the Sect Master was furious and imprisoned her in the Wind Split Valley."

Li Yanran's expression was complicated as she spoke in a low voice.

Honestly, she never understood what Pei Wanning was thinking. To earn the favor of someone as legendary as the Spear-wielding War King, shouldn't that be their honor and blessing?

Why resist, why reject?!

"Bang!"

The teacup in Chen Fei's hand instantly shattered into powder!

A terrifying aura was released, almost suffocating Li Yanran.

But soon, the aura gradually disappeared.

Li Yanran looked at Chen Fei in fear. The latter looked at her with a sullen face for a long time, then asked lightly, "What kind of place is the Wind Split Valley?"

"That's a forbidden place in our Flower God Sect, specifically used to imprison sinners! Anyone who enters may not die, but they would lose a layer of skin," Li Yanran said.

"Damn it!" Chen Fei clenched his fists tightly, making creaking sounds, his face appearing gloomy and full of rage. He gritted his teeth and said, "Can you tell me where the Wind Split Valley is?"

"What do you want to do?" Li Yanran was startled by his words and said, "Sir, the Wind Split Valley is not only the forbidden place of our Flower God Sect but also the cultivation ground of a Mystic Heaven Position King. If you intend to break in, it will cause big trouble!"

"You don't need to worry about that. Just tell me where the Wind Split Valley is," Chen Fei said slowly.

Facing Chen Fei's gloomy gaze, Li Yanran's heart trembled. Ultimately, she nodded and gritted her teeth, saying, "Okay then..."

Soon, Li Yanran informed Chen Fei of the exact location of Wind Split Valley. Chen Fei then immediately left the room.

Watching Chen Fei leave, Li Yanran's expression gradually turned bewildered and complicated as she looked at the empty seat.

"Pei Wanning, is this the reason you rejected the Spear-wielding War King? But why should you be so lucky, being a woman... yet it is the Spear-wielding War King, is it really worth it for him?"

After the words were spoken, the room fell into deep silence. No one answered her.

…

Deep within the Flower God Mountain Range, in the forbidden land behind the Hundred Flowers Sect.

Gigantic stone peaks stood tall, and a solitary grass hut braved the chilling wind, subtly emitting an eerie sense of solitude and coldness.

Inside that hut, a graceful figure curled up into a ball, hugging her knees, sitting quietly and unmoving with an air of pity and heartache. Outside the hut, Flower Venerable Xiao Qiang stood calmly, and after a long time, sighed and spoke.

"Haven't you understood yet? Power is always revered in this world. The Spear-wielding War King, esteemed as a Mystic Heaven Position King, is feared even by numerous peers, and many wish for his favor but receive not even a glance. You are fortunate, you know?"

Inside the hut, Pei Wanning's delicate form shrank, her gaze buried in her chest. She didn't refute but let out a deep sigh, and there was no further sound.

"Ah!" Flower Venerable Xiao Qiang sighed as well, shook his head helplessly, said one last thing, and turned to leave.

"Anyway, remember, since you agreed to Lo Qiubai, don't act capriciously anymore. Otherwise, not only will you suffer, but the person you care about in the Outer Domain will also face dire consequences. Do you understand?"

"I, I..." Pei Wanning trembled all over, her gaze fixed on the ground, voice trembling slightly. Submission wasn't her desire, but Spear Lifting Sect threatened her with Chen Fei, leaving her no choice but to compromise. Her death was a minor issue, but she couldn't bear to see Chen Fei die because of her.

But just then, her eyes contracted sharply, and she focused intently on a patch of ground, noticing that tiny stones were moving, gradually forming six words! Chinese words!

Everything's fine, I'm here.

"This, this is..."

Pei Wanning covered her mouth tightly, her beautiful eyes bursting with disbelief, her eyes involuntarily reddening and moistening, she murmured incredulously, "Hus...husband, is it you?"

The next second, the hut door gently moved, followed by a figure slowly entering from outside, with a pair of reddened, guilty eyes lowered, gazing at Pei Wanning.

"I'm sorry, I, I arrived late."

Swoosh! Seeing that figure, Pei Wanning's gorgeous eyes widened directly, and then she exploded with joy. With a bang, her whole body crashed into Chen Fei's embrace...
