Chapter 6

The young girl had outstanding features, clear and beautiful, exuding an extraordinary and refined aura.

On her delicate earlobes hung green jade pendants, which jingled softly as they swayed, revealing a touch of nobility.

Lin Feng looked like a simple young man, captivated by the girl's beauty, feeling ashamed and lowering his head slightly.

In fact, he just didn't want anyone to see his eyes shining brightly.

Annul the engagement, annul the engagement, this is the legendary engagement annulment that has forged countless heaven-defying experts!

Beside the girl stood a young man dressed in the same white robe, tall and handsome, with a powerful aura of cultivation, indicating he had reached the tenth level of Qi Cultivation.

The young man in the white robe glanced at Lin Feng and then looked away, his gaze falling on the rocks shattered by Lin Feng's Arctic Heaven Magnetic Sword, his brows furrowing. "We came as quickly as possible, so in theory, the other party shouldn't have had time to leave."

The girl shook her head. "If he left, then so be it."

The young man in the white robe suddenly wrapped his voice in mana and whispered to the girl, "Little Sister Yanran, it's said that Xiao Yan was also a cultivation genius, but for some unknown reason, he fell and became a waste of talent."

Mourong Yanran was somewhat displeased, her brows slightly furrowed. "There are outsiders present, let's not talk about this."

The young man in the white robe smiled slightly. "He's just a country boy. How could he possibly hear me with my mana transmission?"

Lin Feng stood still, blinking his eyes. He hadn't had time to change into his Daoist robe and still wore his rough peasant clothes, looking like a mountain villager.

Mourong Yanran shook her head upon hearing this. "Whether he's a genius or a waste of talent, I will go and annul this engagement. Even Grandfather can't force me to marry someone I've never met."

Lin Feng's expression became even more simple and honest, but inside, he was overjoyed. "Sis, you're awesome! That's the spirit, don't be swayed by the outside world, firmly annul the engagement, I believe in you!"

Once a genius, now a waste of talent, and even his fiancée coming to annul the engagement... Damn, this is definitely the treatment of a true protagonist in a fantasy novel.

Lin Feng really wanted to find Xiao Yan immediately. He had figured out that the system's requirements for disciples were extremely high, and only those legendary true protagonists, the main characters of novels, could meet its standards.

Although it wasn't confirmed yet, based on Little One, Lin Feng was 80% sure that Xiao Yan should meet the system's standards for a disciple.

"Wait, this kind of heaven-defying protagonist..."

Lin Feng suddenly thought that with Mourong Yanran coming to annul the engagement, the seemingly down-and-out Xiao Yan would likely burst forth after the annulment.

Although he didn't know if Xiao Yan had an old master with him, found a super artifact, or discovered a super cultivation technique from his parents' legacy or an old book at home...

In any case, once Mourong Yanran annulled the engagement, Xiao Yan's fighting spirit would be ignited, and he would turn his life around.

A golden scale is not a mere pond creature; once it meets the wind and clouds, it transforms into a dragon.

All it takes is a small opportunity to put Xiao Yan on the right path, and as the saying goes, the wheels of fate would start turning, and this guy would become unstoppable.

Lin Feng didn't intend to change the ultimate outcome of Xiao Yan's rise to power; he just wanted to change the process, making himself the catalyst for Xiao Yan's transformation.

In other words, to become Xiao Yan's old master.

However, Little One's issue wasn't resolved yet, and Lin Feng couldn't leave.

If Mourong Yanran went to annul the engagement now and Xiao Yan summoned another old master, wouldn't that leave him out of the picture?

The engagement must be annulled, but not now.

Thinking this, Lin Feng's heart stirred, and a warm, sunny smile naturally appeared on his face.

The young man in the white robe smiled. "Since we can't find the source of the mana fluctuation, let's just forget it. We should hurry to Wuzhou City and the Xiao family. Wuzhou is still a distance away."

The old man in the white robe, who had been silent, finally spoke. "Yanran, you have outstanding talent and a limitless future. You are a core disciple of our Flowing Light Sword Sect and cannot be delayed by mortals. However, annuling the engagement in person is impolite, so remember to give Xiao Yan some compensation."

Mourong Yanran and the young man in the white robe both nodded in agreement. "We will follow Elder Ye's teachings."

Elder Ye Ge nodded in satisfaction and was about to take the two juniors on their way, treating Lin Feng as if he were air the entire time.

Under the system's influence, even a Foundation Establishment cultivator like Ye Ge couldn't detect Lin Feng's Daoist cultivation.

At this moment, Lin Feng suddenly approached, looking somewhat fearful at the three. "Th... three great masters, are you the legendary sword immortals?" His expression was a perfect mix of seven parts admiration and three parts fear.

Mourong Yanran frowned slightly and didn't respond.

The young man in the white robe's face showed a hint of arrogance, and he nodded indifferently. "What do you want?"

Lin Feng's face lit up with joy, and he hurriedly said, "A monster has appeared in my village. I beg the immortal to help us get rid of it. All the villagers will be eternally grateful. Please, immortal, save us!"

The young man in the white robe showed a dismissive expression. In remote villages, ghost and monster stories were common and not to be taken seriously.

Lin Feng continued, "I saw it with my own eyes. The old peach tree, which was charred by lightning, suddenly sprouted new branches and bloomed with beautiful peach blossoms..."

The young man in the white robe waved his hand to interrupt. "A withered tree coming back to life is not unusual."

Lin Feng nodded repeatedly. "Yes, yes, Master is right, but those peach blossoms can kill people, and they have killed many!"

Mourong Yanran and the young man in the white robe exchanged glances, finally becoming interested. "Tell us, how did the peach blossoms kill people?"

Lin Feng quickly recounted how the peach blossoms flew from the tree, stuck to people's foreheads, drained them of life, and then returned to the tree.

The young man in the white robe's brows raised as he listened to Lin Feng's account. It indeed sounded like a peach tree that had become a spirit, capable of killing with its blossoms. This old peach tree had clearly developed intelligence and mastered its innate abilities.

Such a spirit often had a demon core, making it worth killing.

Mourong Yanran's brows furrowed as she looked at Elder Ye Ge. "Elder Ye, we should go. Otherwise, the tree spirit might kill more people."

Ye Ge stroked his long beard and asked Lin Feng detailed questions about the old peach tree's killings, carefully confirming every detail.

Lin Feng maintained a simple and honest expression, patiently answering every question from Ye Ge.

He wasn't afraid of Ye Ge's questioning because everything he said was true.

He just left out a few details.

Lin Feng didn't tell them that the old peach tree could kill a fourth-level Qi Cultivation cultivator as easily as stepping on an ant.

Ye Ge deliberately repeated some questions to confirm Lin Feng's answers, and finally nodded. "Eliminating demons and protecting the righteous is the duty of Flowing Light Sword Sect cultivators. We can't ignore a tree spirit causing chaos. Young brother, lead the way."

Lin Feng couldn't hide his joy, repeatedly thanking them, and inwardly chuckled, "Very safe!"

You three, you came just in time, to help me save my eldest disciple.

As the future rival of my second disciple, who else should I trick if not you?
