Chapter 91: Heading to the Academy

The scene before them left everyone in a daze. A Second Heaven Spirit Cultivator had actually been taken down by a half-grown boy. Not only was Anyang stunned, but even Zhao Bai was left speechless, clearly not expecting such an outcome.

"Zhao Bai! Let's go!" Xu Feng said with a smile after defeating his opponent, not even glancing at An Kui.

"Ah! Oh!" Zhao Bai snapped out of his daze, his gaze shifting to Anyang. "Just let them off like this?"

Xu Feng shrugged and said to Zhao Bai, "If you want to kill them, go ahead. They're your enemies, not mine. It's none of my business."

Zhao Bai was taken aback, thinking, 'You were just beating the crap out of them, and now you say they're not your enemies?'

However, just as Zhao Bai was considering whether to press his advantage, Xu Feng said, "Of course, if you give me enough compensation, I can consider making them my enemies."

"Damn!" Zhao Bai shot a disdainful look at Xu Feng and ignored him.

Zhao Bai's gaze shifted to Anyang, and he took a deep breath. "Get lost! I don't know what your scheme is, but go back and tell the An family that we're waiting!"

Zhao Bai didn't actually want to kill Anyang; there were plenty of other ways to deal with him.

Anyang glared at the two of them with hatred before reluctantly leading his group away.

Seeing Anyang and An Kui leave, Zhao Bai turned his attention to Xu Feng and said, "Are you also heading to Hecheng?"

Xu Feng shrugged. "Since Young Master and Second Miss are going to Hecheng, I have no choice but to follow."

Zhao Bai was taken aback and asked, "What about Xiao Yilin and Xiao Lin?"

"Something happened at the Xiao family, so they came first," Xu Feng replied. "Are you also going to Hecheng? You can show me the way."

Zhao Bai nodded and suddenly turned to Xu Feng, looking at him seriously. "Xu Feng! To be honest, being a servant at the Xiao family is a waste of your talent. Come to our Zhao family! We won't let you down!"

Xu Feng, seeing Zhao Bai still trying to poach him, smiled slightly. "You should discuss this with Second Miss. If she has no objections, I don't mind."

Zhao Bai was speechless, thinking, 'Xiao Yilin would never let you go.' He chuckled bitterly. "I wonder why you like the Xiao family so much. You don't have a crush on Xiao Yilin, do you? Damn, a servant flirting with a lady, that's a serious offense."

"Someone as pure as me would never have such base thoughts. Stay away from me, or I might get tainted by your baseness," Xu Feng said, putting on a face as if he wanted to keep his distance from Zhao Bai.

Zhao Bai looked at Xu Feng with disdain. "If you like her, just say it. Xiao Yilin is fair and tender, so it's normal to like her."

"Fair and tender?!" Xu Feng was speechless at Zhao Bai's crude description, thinking, 'Are you eating a bun or something, talking about being fair and tender?'

"Xu Feng! Although Xiao Yilin is indeed great, our Liu Qianru is also excellent. If you come to our Zhao family, I'll create more opportunities for you and Qianru," Zhao Bai said with a grin.

"I'll pass your words on to Liu Qianru verbatim," Xu Feng said, squinting his eyes at Zhao Bai.

Zhao Bai broke out in a cold sweat, thinking, 'If Liu Qianru hears this, not only will she not let me off, but even Zhou Yang will beat me up.'

"Just kidding! Just kidding!" Zhao Bai laughed.

"How many of the talismans did you use? Give the rest back to me!" Xu Feng held out his hand to Zhao Bai.

Zhao Bai, who had seen the power of the talismans, was reluctant to part with them. He laughed and lied, "I used them all!"

"Who are you trying to fool? Take them out!" Xu Feng had given Zhao Bai nearly twenty talismans, and he had used less than ten. Zhao Bai was trying to trick him, thinking everyone was as gullible as he was.

Seeing Xu Feng so righteous about reclaiming what he had given, Zhao Bai, without regard for his noble dignity, spread his hands and said, "I don't have them anymore. If you want, you can strip me and search me!"

Xu Feng was taken aback, not expecting Zhao Bai, a noble, to be so shameless. Strip him? He thought he was a beauty? With his fat body, Xu Feng would feel sick just looking at him!

"Damn! I should have let you die!" Xu Feng said, feeling a headache from Zhao Bai's shamelessness.

Zhao Bai laughed. "Xu Feng! Do you have any more? Can you give me some more?"

"Get lost!" Xu Feng said without hesitation, thinking this guy was too greedy. This was already all his property!

"Where did you get them? Can I buy some more at a high price?" Zhao Bai asked.

"High price?" Xu Feng's eyes lit up, and he immediately put on a friendly smile. "I have quite a few more. It all depends on the price you offer!"

"Quite a few?" Zhao Bai was stunned. Such precious items were a miracle for Xu Feng to obtain even a few. He had said he had quite a few. Zhao Bai took a deep breath. "How many do you have?"

"As long as you can afford it, I have enough for you," Xu Feng said, squinting his eyes. He thought, 'I can make them myself. As long as you can pay, I can find plenty of materials. Maybe even make higher-grade ones!'

Zhao Bai sized Xu Feng up, seeing that he couldn't possibly hide so many talismans on him. He took a deep breath. "I don't know how many you can get, but the price is something you can discuss with my father. It won't be low! I can't make that decision!"

Zhao Bai thought, 'You said you have as many as you want. What if I want to equip an entire family? Let's see if you can do it. Damn, I hate people who brag more than I do.'

Xu Feng shrugged. "Sure!"

Seeing Xu Feng actually agree, Zhao Bai felt a bit dizzy, thinking, 'Is this guy just putting on a brave face, or does he really have the means to get them?'

"However, before that, you need to pay for the talismans I gave you," Xu Feng said, squinting his eyes at Zhao Bai.

"Damn!" Zhao Bai hadn't expected Xu Feng to remember this. He laughed bitterly. "How much do you want?"

Xu Feng took out a pen and paper, wrote down the materials needed, and handed it to Zhao Bai. "Can you find these?"

"I can find some!" Zhao Bai glanced at the list of materials, which became more precious the further down it went. He couldn't find the items at the bottom, but he could get a lot of the ones at the top.

"Then give me all you can find. The more, the better. I'll give you the talismans when I'm done," Xu Feng said, thinking it would be much easier with a noble family helping him find the materials.

Zhao Bai nodded. Although he didn't know how to make talismans, his extensive reading allowed him to recognize the materials needed for their creation.

"What does he need these for? Could it be that Xu Feng can make talismans himself?" Zhao Bai looked at Xu Feng strangely, then shook his head. He thought, 'I've seen Xu Feng grow up. Even if he's a prodigy, he can't be so talented as to make talismans, which is a highly skilled craft.'

"I'll help you find some when I get back," Zhao Bai said.

"Alright! Let's head back to Hecheng quickly," Xu Feng said to Zhao Bai, thinking of Second Miss, whom he hadn't seen in a while and missed.

"Are you going to the academy or the Xiao family first? If you're looking for Xiao Yilin, go to the academy," Zhao Bai said.

"She's at the academy?" Xu Feng asked.

"Yes! She's a student there! I am too! I need to see Zhou Yang, so it's convenient for us to go together. The academy is within Hecheng, but it's quite a distance from the city," Zhao Bai replied.

"In that case, let's go to the academy. But as a servant, can I even enter your school?" Xu Feng asked with a grin.

Zhao Bai looked at Xu Feng with disdain. "A servant can't. But with your Spirit Realm strength, if you can't enter the academy, it would be a disgrace to the Spirit Realm. A Spirit Realm cultivator is already a significant figure. Some remote cities might not even have a Spirit Realm cultivator."

Xu Feng smiled slightly at Zhao Bai's explanation but didn't say anything more. The unknown aspects of this world made him unsure of what the Spirit Realm represented.

As Xu Feng and Zhao Bai walked together, he thought about how to meet Xiao Yilin. After following that little lady for so long, he really missed her.

Thinking of Xiao Yilin, Xu Feng couldn't help but think of Ye Si. That woman was also in Hecheng. How should he appear before her again?

"Xu Feng! Did you do something to Liu Qianru? Why does she act like a stranger whenever we mention you? Logically, since you saved her, even if Qianru is aloof, she shouldn't act like this," Zhao Bai suddenly asked.

This made Xu Feng break out in a cold sweat, thinking, 'I can't tell you that I once tore her clothes!'

"That! I think it's because I'm too charming. She's afraid she might fall for me, so she's acting this way," Xu Feng said seriously.

"Damn!" Zhao Bai was extremely disdainful. He thought, 'Liu Qianru would never like you. She may seem aloof, but she's very proud. I can't see anyone conquering her yet.'
