Invitation No. 126

  Thoroughly subduing Xiao Bai, Qi Feng returned to the Qinglian Sword Sect. However, upon returning to the Qinglian Sword Sect, he discovered that it was somewhat deserted compared to before, with significantly fewer people present.

  Later, Qi Feng found someone and asked him that he only knew now that the ten major sects were united in performing martial arts, and most of the disciples had already gone to Yan Dang Mountain.

  "No wonder, I said the Sword Sect has so few people." Qi Feng didn't leave, but returned to his residence. As soon as he entered the 'door', he saw a slender figure busily working in the 'medicine' garden.

  It seemed as if she had sensed someone entering, and the woman suddenly lifted her head, just in time to see Qi Feng.

  "Shao Yang, sister." This person was indeed Shao Yang. In the years since Qi Feng left, Shao Yang had basically been living here. The spiritual energy in this place was very dense, which not only benefited the 'medicinal' materials she cultivated but also greatly aided her own cultivation.

  She just didn't expect Zhi Feng to suddenly come back, so for a moment she was also at a loss.

  "You're back." Shaoyang held onto the water bucket, momentarily forgetting to put it down.

  "World, 'Men' sect has so many people going to Yanxia Mountain for the Ten Schools Gathering, how come you didn't go?" Qi Feng was somewhat curious, after all in the past it was at most just the four great immortal sects united gathering, and it was always those same people.

  But now it's different, with ten major 'door' sects appearing at the same time. It can be said that this is a grand occasion in the Cultivation world that only comes once in a thousand years, and definitely no one would want to miss it.

  "I don't want to go." Shaoyang's expression was somewhat off, her face slightly flushed, it was clear that she wasn't telling the truth.

  "What's wrong with you, world?" Qi Feng saw her expression was off and felt a bit strange.

  "I'm fine, just a bit tired." Shaoyang shook her head and glanced at Qifeng, whose face appeared in her mind almost every night, no matter how hard she tried to shake it off.

  Moreover, this time the top ten 'door' sects united meeting wasn't that she didn't want to go, but rather she was afraid that after Qi Feng returned, there wouldn't even be anyone left to talk to, so she stayed behind.

  She herself didn't know what was wrong with her. After that thing happened at first, she said she wouldn't mind, but how could she not mind in her heart? She even hated him.

  At first, she agreed to come here with Qifeng to plant 'medicine' just to get some compensation from him. However, as time slowly passed, her resentment towards Qifeng disappeared unknowingly, and instead, she began to often miss him.

  Sometimes she stares at the big 'door', sitting for a whole day, and only after the sun sets does she come to her senses. Slowly, she realizes that she is not staring blankly, but waiting for Qifeng to return.

  She slowly realized that she had unknowingly fallen in love with Qi Feng and had already considered herself as Qi Feng's 'woman'.

  She didn't know if all women would slowly shift their hearts to that person after losing their femininity, but she knew she was like this.

  "You don't have to be busy anymore, let me do the rest of the work." Qi Feng didn't know why, but seeing Shao Yang's appearance at this moment, he felt a little heartache.

  He subconsciously walked over, took the water bucket and started watering, which brought him back to the scene when he first helped Shao Yang take care of the 'medicinal' garden.

  The whole manor's atmosphere gradually subsided, but the whole scene was very warm.

  "Qifeng, how long are you planning on staying here this time?" Shao Yang asked softly as he sat beside him, watching Qifeng busy himself.

  "I won't be staying here for long, I'll be heading to Swan's Peak tomorrow." Zhi Feng replied without thinking, this time he came here mainly to take a look at Qin Mu, and then planned to retreat and cultivate in secret, waiting until he broke through to the fifth stage before leaving the Ancient Desolate Continent to explore the Demon Clan.

  "So soon?" Shao Yang was taken aback, a hint of loss and reluctance flashing in his eyes.

  "What's wrong?" Qi Feng didn't understand why Shao Yang would have such a reaction and felt somewhat puzzled.

  "No, nothing!" Shaoyang bit her lip, feeling very disappointed, because in her eyes, Qi Feng's eyes didn't have herself at all.

  "That, I haven't left Jianzong for a long time, suddenly want to go to Yanxia Mountain to take a look, can I go with you?" Shao Yang was a decisive person, since he couldn't forget Qi Feng, then he planned to chase him down.

  She also knew that if she just told him about what happened back then, with Qi Feng's personality he would definitely take responsibility for her, but she didn't want it to be like that. She wanted Qi Feng to be with her because he loved her.

  Even if she were with Zifeng using such means, she would still not be happy.

  "What's wrong with that? Now the transmission arrays of all major 'door' schools are open, and it's very convenient to come and go." Qi Feng didn't think much about it, mainly because he simply hadn't thought about emotional things.

  "So it's settled then, we'll set off tomorrow?" Shaoyang was overjoyed, she hadn't smiled so happily in a long time.

  "Hmm!" Zhi Feng nodded and continued to work with his head down, while Shao Yang walked into the house to choose what clothes to wear tomorrow.

  "Master, that girl is actually quite good." Yun Kong was an old slicker and could see that Shao Yang had a thing for Qi Feng.

  "It's not bad to 'support' her, I used to like her too." Qifeng also nodded, and Shao Yang was an invaluable "woman" in herself. Whether it was her figure or appearance, she was only slightly inferior to Qin Mu and Li Ling'er, and didn't know how many people pursued her back then.

  This was still quite clear to Qi Feng, who had once helped her take care of the 'medicine' garden.

  "Master, if I said she likes you now, would you believe it?" Yun Kong asked.

  "How is this possible? How could she possibly like me? Don't be kidding." Qi Feng's cultivation had improved, but his mindset hadn't changed, and he still thought that Shao Yang was unattainable.

  "Master, I'm not mistaken. Think back to the previous scenes, don't you think this girl's behavior is very strange?" Yun Kong said confidently and slowly.

  "It's a bit strange." Qifeng thought for a moment, at the beginning, Shao Yang said she didn't want to go, but when she heard herself say that she wanted to go to Yanxia Mountain, she said she would go too, isn't this contradictory?

  "That's right, I can guarantee it, she likes you." Yun Kong said.

  "This isn't necessarily true, she might just be surprised to see me after such a long time." Qi Feng still couldn't quite believe it.

  "Heh, maybe." Yun Kong knew that Qi Feng was just deceiving himself, so he didn't say anything more. After all, the truth would eventually come to light.

  Although Qi Feng said so, he felt strange in his heart. He shook his head and threw out the distracting thoughts, focusing on watering the 'medicinal' materials.
