Zhao Mingqi was also greatly excited when he saw Yun Feng. The other five Red Maple high-level experts, although it was their first time seeing Yun Feng, were surprised by her young age, but Yun Feng made them feel a sense of unprecedented security, as if with Yun Feng around, no matter how big the task, Red Maple would be able to handle it!

  Yun Feng walked over slowly, came to Zhao Mingqi's side, gave Zhao Mingqi a faint smile, Zhao Mingqi covered his own chest, pale face but with a hint of joy, "Miss, how did you come?"

  Yun Feng looked at the several disheveled warriors of Hong Feng and sighed, "If you don't come soon, won't Hong Feng have to fight to the death?"

  Zhao Mingqi's face was slightly embarrassed, Yun Feng raised his small face and looked at the four five-star team leaders in front of him, four nine-level warriors, this lineup was also rare to see.

  "Yun Feng, I don't like hearing you say that." Leng Xiao Se smiled coldly, but didn't have the same stern aura as before. Tu Ba had just seen Yun Feng rush over and was secretly surprised - this little girl had given both him and Leng Xiao Se a slap in the face, and the anger hadn't dissipated yet; now it seemed like she was going to stir up trouble again.

  Tuoba Gangke didn't have a good temper like Leng Xiaoze, and he still resented Yun Feng for rejecting them. He wasn't as easy to talk to as Leng Xiaoze either.

  "Yun Feng, since you're here, let's not beat around the bush. This mine, does Hong Feng allow it or not?"

  Yun Feng slightly raised an eyebrow, glanced at Tuoba Gang, whose 9th-level battle aura was quietly pressing over, wanting to give Yun Feng a warning. However, Yun Feng's current level had already jumped to the 7th level, and her body, after being modified by that mysterious jade pendant, also possessed a 6th-level variation standard. Compared to her previous self, she had taken a big step forward. Tuoba Gang's mid-9th-level battle aura only made Yun Feng's breathing slightly tight, but otherwise, there was no great harm.

  Spiritual energy slowly surged out of his body, condensing into an invisible giant hand that slapped Tuoba Gang's battle aura back! The rebound of this battle aura made Tuoba Gang somewhat unable to withstand it, and he stumbled backwards, his eyes widening in anger while also being shocked in his heart.

  Isn't this little girl's strength increased a lot again? This is just one month, how is it possible?!

  The other three team leaders, upon seeing this, all felt a sense of tension and looked at Yun Feng's expression, which had become much more serious. "Yun Feng, we're all familiar with each other, why resort to violence?" A cold and stern sentence from Xiao Se made the people on Hong Feng's side feel indignant, their teeth itching with anger. Clearly, it was Tuoba Gang who had struck first earlier, but now the blame had been shifted onto Miss Yun!

  Zhao Yan was about to speak, but was stopped by a glance from his father Zhao Mingqi. In this gathering, only their elder sister Yun Feng could sit on an equal footing with these few people!

  "Heh, since that's the case, we can indeed talk about it." Yun Feng smiled lightly and gave Leng Xiao Se a step down. The other three people were all silent, and negotiating was naturally more suitable for Leng Xiao Se.

  "That's much better, what about my previous proposal?"

  Yun Feng's face sank slightly, then a smile hung on the corner of his mouth, "This proposal is acceptable, but it needs to be changed."

  Leng Xiao Si and the four others heard that Yun Feng did not object, so they were overjoyed. They were worried that Yun Feng would join them and become as stubborn as Hong Feng and his gang. If something happened to this only magician, it would be hard to explain to Lord Zheng... But the temptation of the special-grade mine was too great. Now, however, everything seemed to have a good solution.

  "Alright, what do you want to change?" Leng Xiao Se's face was filled with a smile, and the abacus in his heart was clicking away rapidly. Borrowing a top-notch expert for the Five-Star Team wasn't difficult at all. At most, borrowing Hong Feng would be equivalent to borrowing a sixth-level expert, which would have no effect on their own strength.

  "Lending a master to us is naturally possible, but we want a ninth-level one. Except for a ninth-level master, the rest are not worth mentioning!"

  Hong Feng and his group couldn't help but laugh, a ninth-level master? Looking at all the mercenary groups registered in the Mercenary Guild, aside from these four in front of us, where else can we find them?

  Four people heard this and their faces twitched, "Yun Feng, don't tell me you want us team leaders to be your assistants?" Leng Xiao Se's face was not good as he asked, and he was indeed somewhat annoyed by these words.

  Yun Feng smiled and said, "Colonel Leng's words are reasonable, it seems that this condition is not negotiable. How about I give you a suggestion?"

  Leng Xiao didn't expect that Yun Feng, a young child, would have such a quick mind and be so unwilling to compromise. Negotiating with someone like this will eventually lead to being taken advantage of!

  "You're the one who's been talking." Leng Xiao Se coldly spat out a sentence, feeling that he had been suppressed to death so far, this was a feeling he had never had before!

  "Since you four want the Red Maple mine, of course it's possible. A fair deal naturally requires an exchange. If you don't show some sincerity, how can we continue discussing?"

  Leng Xiao's mind turned, and it seemed that they wanted to exchange their own mine vein with Hong Feng's this place? The other three heard that their hearts couldn't help but fluctuate, the ore mined from the fifth-level area was at least mid-grade... Hong Feng's this place was just a low-grade mine vein, although it was very likely to mine out special-grade ore, yet it was only possible...

  Yun Feng saw the four people's hesitant expressions and smiled lightly, "If you team leaders are not willing, then forget it, please leave." Yun Feng deliberately showed a hurried appearance, and the four of them immediately knew that there was something fishy going on. Leng Xiao Se quickly said, "This matter is worth discussing!"

  Yun Feng's heart cheered, great! The four fat fish were finally hooked!

  Hong Feng didn't know whether he had dug up the special-grade ore or not, but the rumors that were being spread like wildfire were definitely someone's trick. Since someone wanted to harm Hong Feng, she would use this rumor to make a profit for him! The low-grade ore in her hand was being fought over by people, fine, they could have it! However, there was a condition, these four big fish were willing to take the bait, and she wouldn't let them off without taking a layer of skin from them, or else it wouldn't be worth saying.

  "Has Captain Leng agreed?"

  Leng Xiao Se endured the pain and nodded, although exchanging a mid-grade ore vein for it was somewhat not worth it. However, thinking about the special grade ore, Leng Xiao Se's entire heart was boiling with excitement.

  "Alright, since Director Leng has agreed, then this mine is now Director Leng's alone." Yun Feng emphasized "alone", and these words suddenly awakened the other three directors. The four of them had come together, so why should it become Director Leng's alone now?!

  "Wait! I'll switch too!" Tuoba Gang gritted his teeth and roared out a sentence, this mine couldn't be monopolized by Leng Xianze alone! Or else he would lose big time!

  "Me too!" "I am too!"

  The leaders of the two teams, Leng Yue and Lie Huo, also followed closely behind. Although they both felt that it wasn't worth it, the temptation of the special-grade ore was too great, causing the four five-star team leaders to lose some of their rationality.

  Ye Tuan Chang, who had been led here, was already stunned on the side, what's going on? Four intermediate mineral veins! This Hong Feng is a bit too ruthless, isn't he?!

  Looking at the four team leaders with such eagerness, Yun Feng nodded and turned to face Zhao Mingqi, saying, "Team Leader Zhao, let's give it up for now. We'll have another chance in the future, don't you think?"

  These words made the four team leaders even more itchy in their hearts, but when Yun Feng turned his head back, he gave Zhao Mingqi a look, and Zhao Mingqi immediately understood in his heart, and was holding back laughter, this time the young lady is indeed loaded with gains.

  "Everything will be done according to Miss's instructions, however..." Zhao Mingqi intentionally made a reluctant expression, and Leng Xiaoze saw it and immediately felt that this matter should be settled as soon as possible.

  "Yun Feng, let's go to the Mercenary Guild and complete the transfer registration."

  Yun Feng nodded, his expression somewhat dim as he walked away with the four five-star team leaders. The four big shots had calm faces, but they were already overjoyed in their hearts. Looking at the interaction between Yun Feng and the Hong Feng members earlier, that top-grade mine was definitely theirs!

  After Yun Feng left, Wang Ming touched his own head, feeling extremely emotional, "The young lady is really something, one mouthful and it's four families, it's really..."

  Zhao Yan smiled happily, "Miss is awesome! Those team leaders fell this time too!"

  Zhao Mingqi couldn't help but smile wryly as he watched Yun Feng leave, this time the young lady had obtained a fortune at a sky-high price for Hong Feng!

  Mercenary Guild Mine Registry Office, the staff looked at the few people in front of them, their hands holding pens were shaking slightly, and after hearing what the few people wanted to do, they couldn't hold on anymore and dropped it to the ground.

  "A few adults said they wanted to handle something?" The poor staff member asked in a trembling voice, Tuoba Gang laughed and walked forward.

  "We four families' one intermediate mine vein, all transferred to Hong Feng's name, and the mine vein under Hong Feng's name is jointly owned by us four."

  The staff listened, feeling a bit dizzy in the head, "Yes, yes......" Although they were suspicious that these big shots might be crazy, four mid-levels were replaced by low-levels? However, the matter was handled quickly and efficiently.

  After the transfer procedures were completed, Leng Xiao Se said to Yun Feng, "The intermediate mine is located in the five-star area, but you can rest assured that we will send someone to hand over all the mined ore to Yun Feng."

  "Haha, Leng Xiao Se said it's true, they've all registered here, and even if I don't want to send them over, it can't be helped."

  Yun Feng nodded, her heart secretly laughing nonstop. Even the ancestors shook their heads in dismay, sighing that this junior was truly bold, daring to toy with four five-star team leaders.

  Yun Feng wasn't afraid, she just went along with it. This rumor wasn't something she had spread herself. None of the four people had admitted to mining a special-grade ore, but this group of people insisted on believing it was true. Since they thought so, she just played along and said what they wanted to hear. Now that they were registered here, even if these four people turned against her later, she wasn't afraid. If things really came to blows, who the Mercenary Guild would help was also uncertain.

  After finishing their tasks, the four team leaders also left with a relieved expression. Yun Feng quickly headed to the Red Maple's mercenary guild base. As soon as he entered, Wang Ming, Zhao Mingqi, and Zhao Yan, along with the remaining top experts, had all returned. Just as Yun Feng pushed open the door, he heard Zhao Yan's somewhat exaggerated voice.

  "You don't know, the situation was very critical at that time. A three-star team was eyeing us covetously, and then four five-star team captains came suddenly, also with the same sinister intentions. But our big sister arrived just in time, and in front of the four ninth-level strongmen, she remained calm and composed..."

  Yun Feng shook his head helplessly, and Zhao Yan's storytelling was indeed a waste of his talent. "The young lady is back!" A mercenary who was intently listening to Zhao Yan's story caught sight of Yun Feng with sharp eyes, and the others also stopped listening to Zhao Yan and turned to look at Yun Feng.

  "Huh? Big sister, you're back!" Zhao Yan saw Yun Feng and rubbed his head awkwardly, not knowing if his previous words had been overheard.

  Yun Feng nodded, and Zhao Ming Qi walked over, "Miss, how will you repay Hong Feng's kindness?"

  The other mercenaries also felt grateful upon hearing this. This crisis had been safely overcome, and Zhao Yan said that the young lady had even secured four mid-grade mines for Hong Feng! Mid-grade mines! This was something that Hong Feng wouldn't have dared to think about in the past!

  "Uncle Zhao, what are you talking about? I'm also a member of Hong Feng, and it's only right that we do these things."

  Zhao Mingqi nodded excitedly, really fortunate that the young lady could enter the Mercenary Guild, and that she could meet Wang Ming, this was a great opportunity for Hong Feng, a heaven-sent opportunity!

  "What if the four team leaders change their minds?" Zhao Yan thought of this problem, and everyone else was worried, thinking about the anger of the four five-star team leaders after they knew the truth, each person's heart was a shadow.

  "It's nothing, our Red Maple has never been acknowledged by anyone about this fact, we've always said no, but they insist on believing it, what can we do? We clarified the facts, but others don't believe us, can only blame themselves."

  Yun Feng's words dispelled the dark cloud in everyone's heart, yes, they had never admitted it before, but these people believed the rumor, what did it have to do with Hong Feng?

  "Recently, Red Maple has been a bit unquiet. It seems that some people have intentionally made things difficult for us. I've already formed an opinion about these people in my mind. Everyone should still be on high alert during this period!" Yun Feng's words caused every single Red Maple mercenary to feel a jolt in their hearts. No matter who tried to cause trouble for Red Maple, their mistress would definitely block each and every one of them, and counterattack with equal ferocity!

  Yun Feng, Wang Ming, Zhao Yan and Zhao Ming Qi came to the room on the second floor again. The four of them had their own views on what happened recently.

  "That guy behind the red maple tree must be the evil wolf." Zhao Yan said with a hint of hatred, his young face showing a competitive spirit. Just thinking about that four-star team's evil wolf made Zhao Yan's anger boil over.

  "I also think that Young Master's words make sense. The intense battle the other day and this time's news almost destroyed Hong Feng." Wang Ming furrowed his two thick eyebrows, feeling a bit frightened in hindsight.

  "Miss, will the wolf make another move in the following days? Should we take some precautions?" Zhao Mingqi asked. Yun Feng sat there and shook her head lightly.

  "News of the Red Maple getting mid-grade ore veins everywhere will spread quickly, and the Evil Wolf won't dare to make a move. The mid-grade ore extracted from these veins can greatly enhance Red Maple's overall strength! Moreover, there is also a magician here, this time the Evil Wolf failed to stir up trouble, and the same trick won't work again if used for the second time."

  The other three people nodded after hearing this, and Yun Feng continued, "With less than ten days until the evaluation meeting, it's impossible to deal another devastating blow to Hong Feng in such a short period of time. The evil wolf is probably going to be furious."

  The other three people who heard it all burst out laughing, feeling very refreshed. This time, Yun Feng's two opponents were indeed vicious wolves, and seeing their own opponents being outsmarted was truly a comfort to themselves.

  "I estimate that a large batch of intermediate ore will be delivered here tomorrow, and you few people must work hard to upgrade your levels and strive for breakthroughs!"

  The other three people were shocked, mid-grade ore, the Sparkling Plains' Three-Star region couldn't even mine this kind of ore, but Red Maple actually had four! A single Three-Star team having four mid-grade veins was something that would make Four-Star teams jealous!

  Intermediate mineral veins everywhere, don't even need Red Maple to personally mine them by hand, others mine and deliver for free. This is undoubtedly making people's eyes turn red with envy. The five-star region's mineral veins, who dares to touch?

  As the evaluation ranking conference approaches, Hong Feng's popularity in the Mercenary Guild is also increasing, and he is becoming more and more mysterious. Those batches of mid-grade ore sent to Hong Feng will allow him to upgrade to what level, will he recover his original standard, or even surpass his original standard?

  In these days, Hong Feng became more and more low-key. Each of the important tasks of the Red Maple was to stay indoors and not go out. Everyone also knew what they were doing and wondered how high the strength of the Red Maple could soar at the level evaluation conference? These days, Hong Feng was very calm, and no one used tricks anymore, because those who wanted to use tricks now had a headache.

  "Damn it, are those five-star team leaders idiots?! Trading with four mid-level mineral veins!" Inside the Evil Wolf Mercenary Team's building, everyone knew that their three team leaders had been in a bad mood lately, and from time to time, angry roars would be heard. And now, it started again.

  "Alright, alright, stop scolding. This is our miscalculation. I really didn't think that Hong Feng would be so difficult to deal with!" The man with a shallow scar on his face sat there, looking gloomy.

  "We spread rumors to make them destroy each other, but instead we ended up helping them!" The first team leader, who looked like a human and a dog, said in a low voice. Thinking of those mid-level mineral veins everywhere, he was about to go crazy. The Evil Wolf Mercenary Team had struggled to this point, only to have two mineral veins, and still had to worry about others' espionage from time to time. Now, Yun Feng's four mineral veins were handed over by others, what kind of logic is this!

  "What are we going to do now! With those mid-grade ores, it's impossible for us to win!" Tan Lang sat in his chair with a furious expression, and he really couldn't digest the current situation of Hong Feng, thinking about it made him full of anger.

  "The list has been submitted and cannot be changed, we welcome the Red Maple challenge team arrangement, but it's a miscalculation. The man with shallow scars on his face frowned, thinking that their mistake was irreparable, the evil wolf this time spared no effort to promote to five-star, so in the team configuration against Red Maple, although there are two level 7 masters, but after calculating Red Maple's ability after absorbing the mineral, these two level 7 are a bit uncertain."

  "Want to upgrade their strength? I'm going, all the minerals are absorbed by them, can they upgrade a level within ten days?" Greedy Wolf cursed, and the other two people's faces also darkened. Mineral absorption energy was slow from the start, especially for high-level people it was slow to the point of uselessness. For someone at the seventh level who wanted to continue upgrading with minerals, one had to look at the quality of the mineral, and another had to look at the quantity. Wanting to advance to the eighth level in a short period of time, only high-grade minerals could achieve that.

  "Now it seems that we can only rely on our weapons...” The Wolf Team Captain muttered to himself, but then he thought of Hong Feng having a magician, and one who was level 5 at that, his mind immediately went blank, miscalculation, what a miscalculation...

  "We lost and we're going to be demoted! I don't want the four-star ranking that we finally climbed up to be demoted!" Greedy Wolf shouted again, while the other two had unsightly expressions. Originally thinking they could win against Yun Feng easily, now they didn't have absolute confidence, and even felt a hint of defeat.

  "If we can't beat him, then we need to find a way to make sure that magician can't take the field...” The man with shallow scars all over his face muttered, exchanging a glance with the scar-faced man and the captain, and for an instant, a fierce glint flashed in the eyes of the three men.

  Within ten days, a large number of intermediate ores were delivered to the doorstep of Hong Feng every day. The mercenaries who received the intermediate ores from Hong Feng could pile them up into a small mountain. They couldn't close their mouths in amazement. Outsiders who saw this scene were even more stunned, and their emotions could only be summed up in one sentence: envy, jealousy, and hatred.

  The leaders of the Red Maple are all closed doors, closed gates, and outsiders have no way to investigate even a little bit of truth or falsehood. They just feel that the Red Maple is becoming more and more mysterious. As the evaluation conference approaches, people's heated discussions about the Red Maple are getting more and more intense. What level will they reach? This is what everyone is most concerned about.

  These five people who participated in the competition, except for Yun Feng, were all working hard to upgrade their levels. The other Red Maple mercenaries also received a mid-grade ore each, and they were all overjoyed!

  Yun Feng counted down the approaching days, and for some reason, a faint sense of unease rose in his heart. "Little guy, with the temperament of the Evil Wolf Mercenary Team, you must be fully prepared." The ancestor's reminder suddenly enlightened Yun Feng - Ah, yes! Those guys from the Evil Wolf Mercenary Team who kill people without batting an eye will definitely try every means to prevent Hong Feng from defeating them. Since they can't use tricks in the mercenary guild, they'll definitely find another way to make Hong Feng's combat strength sharply decline, and the most effective method is to directly prevent him from going into battle!

  Is it an ambush? Yun Feng thought, and then denied his own idea. If the mercenary guild ambushed the evil wolf, they wouldn't spare their own lives, so what would they do to make themselves unable to fight? If not on themselves, then on... Father!

  Yun Feng's face suddenly changed, Big Brother Yun Sheng was already at Ma Sang Magic School, and the evil wolves didn't dare to make a move in Ma Sang. So, who could threaten him? Besides his father still in Chunfeng Town, there was no one else!

  Yun Feng closed his eyes, and with a flicker of thought, the dark red contract ring appeared on his hand. "Little Fire, come out!" With this low command, a cluster of dark red light shot out and landed on the ground, transforming into a majestic giant wolf. The moment it appeared, the temperature around it suddenly rose to a new height.

  "Master, can I come out now?" Xiao Huo's face was filled with excitement, and what excited him the most was his level upgrade. As a 7th-level variant magical beast, he really wanted to let out a few loud roars!

  "That's right, you can come out now, go to Chunfeng Town." Yun Feng smiled and pinched Xiao Huo's ear, Xiao Huo listened and looked at Yun Feng with his dark wolf eyes, immediately understanding what Yun Feng meant. A wolf face was very unwilling, "Again a bodyguard, why do I always have to be a bodyguard..."

  Yun Feng rubbed Xiao Huo's head, "Protect my father well, if anyone dares to hurt my father even a little, kill!"

  Xiao Hu heard Yun Feng's command, excitedly letting out a few low gasps, and the demonic beast's murderous and brutal nature instantly erupted, "Alright, although I'm not willing to be a bodyguard, I'll reluctantly agree."

  Yun Feng smiled and said, "Go, don't let anyone find out when you leave."

  Xiao Huo nodded, originally wanting to howl a few times but this was the Mercenary Guild after all. Afraid of causing a commotion, he could only quietly leave. Xiao Huo's wolf form transformed into a bright red line, disappearing in front of Yun Feng's eyes at an astonishing speed. A seventh-level variant magical beast, the Fire Cloud Wolf - even if the Evil Wolf Sect sent out ten or so eighth-level experts, they wouldn't be enough to take him on.

  Finally, the most exciting rating conference has arrived. This session of the rating conference is more thrilling than ever before. One reason is the participation of magicians and another is the biggest hot topic of this session: Red Maple Mercenary Group!

  That morning, the entire mercenary guild was bustling with excitement. Every single mercenary, whether they were participating or not, flocked to the center of the mercenary guild, where a vast square served as the stage for this Equality Convention!

  Yun Feng pushed the door open early in the morning, and as she did, Wang Ming, Zhao Ming Qi, and Zhao Yan were all standing in front of her with smiles on their faces. Yun Feng slightly sensed something and couldn't help but slowly raise the corners of her mouth.

  "Miss, thanks to you, I've been promoted to level 6." Zhao Mingqi said with a smile, and his spirit was even more vigorous due to the upgrade.

  "Haha, I've also been promoted to level 6!" Wang Ming laughed heartily, his rough face full of joy.

  "Miss, I've reached the fourth level peak!" Zhao Yan looked at Yun Feng with an excited face, and in his heart, he admired this girl who was six years younger than him even more.

  Yun Feng looked at the three of them with satisfaction and opened his mouth lightly, "Alright, are you confident in taking down Evil Wolf?"

  "Haha, of course!"

  "There's a young lady here, so it's definitely no problem."

  "Beat those sons of guns until they're picking their teeth off the ground!"

  Yun Feng smiled, her absolutely beautiful little face shining brightly in the sunlight, just like a guiding light leading the way forward, so dazzling and eye-catching. "Since that's the case, let's set off then!"
