Chapter 16

"Impossible, I just heard them say......"

"It can't be, I must have heard wrong."

When Long Xiong and Hu Di said this, the onlookers were all greatly shocked, a mix of complex emotions appearing on their faces.

At this moment, people would rather believe they had heard wrong than accept that what Long Xiong and Hu Di had said was true.

Because they couldn't understand why the Wing Alliance would want to recruit Chu Feng. Just a moment ago, Chu Feng had been rejected by a small alliance. How could such a person possibly gain the favor of the Wing Alliance?

"Chu Feng, are you willing to join the Wing Alliance?"

As if knowing the doubts of the crowd, Bai Long emphasized again, this time with a more serious tone.

"This... This is actually true, the Wing Alliance is really recruiting that young man."

"What kind of background does that guy have to receive an invitation from the Wing Alliance? Isn't the Wing Alliance known as the gathering place of geniuses? Why would they recruit such an ordinary person?"

"I can't understand it, really can't understand it. Could he have some special qualities? But I really can't see it. Even a small alliance didn't welcome him, how could he possibly be a strong person?"

This caused the crowd to erupt into a frenzy. Everyone's gaze focused on Chu Feng, trying to find something different about him, something that could explain why the Wing Alliance favored him.

But alas, they couldn't see anything special about this young man. Despite this, people still envied Chu Feng immensely.

The Wing Alliance, the aspiration of countless disciples, yet so many geniuses are rejected. It is absolutely the holy land in the hearts of inner disciples.

The Wing Alliance is the dream of countless disciples, a dream that can only be imagined but never realized.

But at this moment, someone has entered such a holy place, fulfilling a dream that people could never achieve. How could they not be envious?

"How is this possible? Chu Feng actually......"

However, the ones with the most difficult expressions, the ones who could least accept this fact, were the people of the Chu family.

Especially Chu Wei, it was as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer, his head buzzing and his mind in a daze.

Chu Yue was the same. She stood beside Chu Feng, her small mouth slightly open, her beautiful eyes flickering, staring at Chu Feng in surprise.

As for the reactions of the crowd, Long Xiong and Hu Di smiled in satisfaction and turned their gaze to Chu Feng.

Compared to the onlookers, they were even more eager to see Chu Feng's reaction, hoping to see him overjoyed and ecstatic.

However, Chu Feng clearly disappointed them. Not only did he not show extreme joy, but his face remained calm, like still water. What was even more surprising was what Chu Feng said next.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I don't want to join any alliance for now." Chu Feng said calmly.

"What, did I hear wrong? He actually refused?"

When Chu Feng said this, the already boiling crowd reached its peak. This was something countless people dreamed of, yet it was refused. It was simply unbelievable.

In fact, even Long Xiong and Hu Di frowned, their faces clearly displeased.

"Chu Feng, joining our Wing Alliance will be beneficial for your development in the Azure Dragon Sect. Are you really going to refuse?" Bai Long persuaded.

"Truly sorry." Chu Feng's response was firm.

"You..."

Bai Hu was somewhat angry, but before he could act, Bai Long stopped him with a hand.

Bai Long looked at Chu Feng again and said, "Chu Feng, I hope you will reconsider."

After saying this, Bai Long turned and left. Bai Hu, after giving Chu Feng a fierce glare, also left.

"That guy actually refused the Wing Alliance's invitation. Is he crazy?"

"Looking at him, he's just a stubborn fool. He probably doesn't know the name of the Wing Alliance. Sigh, truly pitiful."

"I bet he'll regret it when he understands the power of the Wing Alliance. He'll wish he could find a block of tofu to bash his head against."

"Do we even need to wait? Offending the Wing Alliance, I think this guy is already close to death."

At this moment, everyone's mouths were wide open, and various discussions echoed continuously.

Even Chu Yue asked in confusion, "Chu Feng, do you know what you just did? That is..."

"I know, it's the Wing Alliance, the mythic organization of the inner sect."

"Knowing this, you still refused? You..."

Chu Yue was completely speechless.

"I won't join an organization I don't understand, even if it's the Wing Alliance."

Chu Feng smiled, a calm and composed smile, ignoring the astonished gazes around him, blending into the crowd as if he truly didn't care about the Wing Alliance.

Chu Yue looked at where Chu Feng had disappeared, her expression extremely complex. After a long time, she whispered, "Chu Feng, I really can't see through you anymore."

In fact, Chu Feng was also surprised by the Wing Alliance's invitation, but it was precisely this surprise that made him decisively refuse. After all, he had a secret that couldn't be known by others.

The Nine-Colored Divine Thunder, a terrifying thing that almost destroyed the Nine States Continent. If people knew that this thing was in Chu Feng's dantian, who knows what the continent's powerful figures would do to him. Even disemboweling him wasn't out of the question.

Not long after Chu Feng left, in a hidden area outside the square, Long Xiong and Hu Di stood with worried expressions. In front of them stood a young girl.

The girl had fair skin, willow-like eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, and a small mouth as pink as a cherry. Although her face was still somewhat young, she was already a beauty, a standard beauty in the making.

However, at this moment, the girl's willow-like eyebrows were slightly furrowed as she asked Long Xiong and Hu Di, "You mean he refused to join our Wing Alliance?"

"Sister Su Mei, we are telling the truth." Long Xiong and Hu Di replied in unison.

"How dare he refuse our Wing Alliance's invitation? He must be tired of living." The girl clenched her teeth, anger flashing in her beautiful eyes.

"Sister Su Mei, we don't really know what makes that guy special, but he was specifically named by those two to be invited. If we harm him, it might..."

"There's nothing to worry about. The Wing Alliance has already given him enough face by inviting him. For him to dare refuse is simply a case of not knowing when to be grateful."

"If we don't teach him a lesson, where will the Wing Alliance's authority be? This matter is left to you. Don't worry, I'll take care of my sister, ensuring nothing happens to you."

"Um... Okay." Faced with this beautiful girl, Long Xiong and Hu Di dared not contradict her.

"Also, I'm saying this one last time, don't call me Sister. I'm not older than you." The girl glanced at the two and then left gracefully.

Long Xiong and Hu Di watched the girl leave, and only after her figure disappeared did they let out a sigh of relief.

"This girl is too hard to please, treating us like slaves." Bai Hu wiped the sweat from his forehead, complaining.

"Forget it, who can blame her for her special status? Not to mention her family background, just her sister's influence in the inner sect is enough to give us a hard time." Bai Long smiled bitterly.

"Speaking of which, I prefer her sister. She's much gentler."

"Gentle? You haven't seen her when she's angry. She's even more terrifying than Su Mei."

"Sigh, the two of them together are called 'Rou Mei.' They are beautiful, but I don't see any gentleness. What should we do now? Are we really going to deal with Chu Feng?"

"Give him a proper warning, but not too much. After all, besides this pair of sisters, that person also spoke up." Saying this, Bai Long sighed.

Just yesterday, during a rare gathering of the Wing Alliance, two important figures showed up uninvited.

And both of them made the same request: to have the Wing Alliance invite Chu Feng to join.

Although they were reluctant, the Wing Alliance agreed, because those two were figures they dared not offend.
