“What are you guys doing?”
Seeing this, Bai Piaopiao’s pretty face changed and she stood in front of Yi Feng to question the men making their moves, “Miss Bai, please step aside. Today I vow to take his life.”
The leading man stared at Yi Feng furiously and spoke in an icy cold voice, about to continue his attack.
Fortunately, Bai Piaopiao blocked him again.
“Yun Lan, guardian of the clouds, on what grounds are you attacking my friend? I need an explanation from you.” Bai Piaopiao completely shielded Yi Feng behind her. Her charming face was completely cold in this moment.
“Miss Bai, you’re confused!” Yun Lan harshly scolded, “Have you ever thought about how he was able to find this place?”
“Hmph, shouldn’t you be asking yourselves how he found this place?”
Bai Piaopiao coldly laughed in response.
She then turned her head to look at Yi Feng behind her and gently said, “Master Yi, please go inside and wait for a bit. I will resolve this and provide an explanation.”
“Alright!”Yi Feng glanced at the few men and temporarily agreed.
It wasn’t that he was afraid of these thugs.
When they had prepared to attack earlier, he had already scanned them with his system. They were just trash that he didn’t care about at all.
But what he was worried about was that this Yun Lan might be Bai Piaopiao’s man or something. If he gave Bai Piaopiao flowers right in front of him, he could understand if Yun Lan wanted to attack him.
So Yi Feng chose to tactfully withdraw for the time being.
After Yi Feng left, Bai Piaopiao coldly said to Yun Lan, “Guardian Yun, you loudly claimed that the mystical formations you set up would prevent anyone from finding this place. Could it be that the strength of your formations is this pathetic?”
“I...”
Yun Lan’s face was ugly.
He had indeed said before that unless it was someone who had attained immortality, it would be impossible to find this place with the activated mystical formation.
After all, once the formation was activated, the surroundings were filled with illusions and traps. Only those with special methods could get through.
Yet his words had just left his mouth before being disproved by a common mortal.
What made him even more furious was that he couldn’t find what had gone wrong or provide an explanation to Bai Piaopiao.
“There’s no need to explain. I’m rather grateful that there were flaws in your formation, otherwise Master Yi probably wouldn’t have been able to find me either.”
Bai Piaopiao said coldly, “But the issues with your formation are your responsibility. You have no grounds to push the blame onto my friend Master Yi for coming to find me!”
“Miss Bai, I admit there may have been some flaws with our formation, but that wasn’t why I attacked him!” Yun Lan said heavily.
“Then what was the reason?”
Bai Piaopiao asked in puzzlement.
“It was because, because...”
Seeing the flower petals in Bai Piaopiao’s hand, Yun Lan grew more furious the more he thought about it. He gnashed his teeth and said, “It’s because this damn bastard destroyed the core of our painstakingly created formation as soon as he arrived!”
“Huh?”
“Ah?”
Hearing this, Bai Piaopiao was also shocked and said in disbelief, “When did he destroy your formation core?”
"Humph, it was the flower in your hand."
Yun Lan said impatiently.
Bai Piaopiao stared wide-eyed at the flower petal in disbelief.
This, this was the core of their formation?
"This must be a misunderstanding?"
Bai Piaopiao said with a face full of speechlessness, "As you saw earlier, Master Yi randomly plucked this. He didn't intentionally destroy your core."
"What if...I give this flower back to you?"
Bai Piaopiao carefully extended the flower petal in her hand to Yun Lan and cautiously asked.
The muscles on Yun Lan's face twitched.
He couldn't help but complain inwardly, it's already been plucked, how can it still be of any use!?
"Alright, for Miss Bai's sake, we'll spare him this once." Yun Lan said heavily, "But from now on, I hope that Miss Bai will cooperate with us."
"Then you have my thanks, Guardian Yun, for your magnanimity."
Bai Piaopiao hurriedly expressed her gratitude.
After all, if things really escalated, even as an awakened one, she was still no match for Yun Lan right now.
Yun Lan waved his hand at his subordinates and left with his hands behind his back.
But when he brushed past Bai Piaopiao, seeing her hugging the flower while smelling it, he really couldn't endure it. He snatched the flower petal from Bai Piaopiao's hand, threw it on the ground, and stomped it countless times before leaving with some relief under Bai Piaopiao's stunned gaze.
"Miss Bai, how did it go?"
Seeing Bai Piaopiao return, Yi Feng hurriedly stood up and asked.
"Don't worry, Master Yi. It was just a misunderstanding." Bai Piaopiao smiled and said, "But I've caused offense to you."
"None taken."
Yi Feng nodded his head and recalled something before asking again, "Right, was he...your man?"
"How could that be?"
"How could he possibly be my man!" Bai Piaopiao hurriedly explained, "I've never been intimate with any man."
"That's good then, that's good."
Yi Feng nodded.
"Does it make Master Yi happy that Piaopiao has never been with a man?" Bai Piaopiao looked at Yi Feng with bright eyes and boldly asked.
"Of course." Yi Feng laughed in response.
"Why is that?"
Bai Piaopiao asked somewhat expectantly.
"It's good so there's no need for why," Yi Feng rolled his eyes at Bai Piaopiao. At the same time, he also secretly felt relieved.
Fortunately, it wasn't Bai Piaopiao's man.
Otherwise if that Yun Lan went after him again, he wouldn't be able to say anything!
After all, what man could tolerate another man giving flowers to his woman right in front of his face?
Since he wasn't Bai Piaopiao's man, if that Yun Lan dared to complain again, he wouldn't be polite.
Bai Piaopiao blinked her beautiful eyes.
Although she didn't get Yi Feng to elaborate on why, when he said it was good, she inexplicably felt a bit excited in her heart.
"How long does Master plan on staying this time?" Bai Piaopiao asked again.
"I'm afraid I'll have to leave at daybreak tomorrow. I have to travel far for something." Yi Feng said lightly.
"I see..."
Bai Piaopiao's expression dimmed slightly. She bit her lip and lifted her delicate face to softly ask, "Tonight, can Piaopiao chat with Master through the night?"
"Piaopiao still wants to hear Master's heavenly voice...Is that okay?"
"No."
Yi Feng declined as he packed up his belongings.
Bai Piaopiao's body quivered slightly. She...she had actually been rejected?
Though it seemed this wasn't the first time he had rejected her.
"Why?"
She still couldn't help but ask.
"Because like I said earlier, I have to travel tomorrow." Yi Feng continued speaking as he packed up his bedroll.
"But..."
Just as she was about to speak, Yi Feng cut her off after finishing packing. He smiled and said, "Miss Bai, we still have time ahead of us. There will be chances in the future. Alright, I need to wash up now. Can I trouble you to step out for a bit?"
"Uh..."
"Alright."
Bai Piaopiao reluctantly exited the room, her charm filled with distress.
She couldn't describe her feelings towards Yi Feng.
Was it infatuation?
It didn't seem so.
Kindred spirits?
It was somewhat like that, but also not quite...
But no matter what, she was very clear that after today, she would never appear in this place again. Once her inner power awakened, there would be no chance for them to meet again.
After all, at that time, the two of them would be people of different worlds.
This was also why she had boldly requested to chat with Yi Feng through the night.
Because this goodbye,
was an eternal farewell.
But she couldn't bring herself to say all this and could only dejectedly leave the room.
