"You want to team up with us?!" Li Chengfeng could not believe his eyes.
If Li Xuanming or Zhan Qisheng had asked him to team up, he would not have been so surprised. However, this person before him was someone he would never have guessed.
After the initial shock, Li Chengfeng calmed down and thought about it carefully. Perhaps this person made sense.
The person in front of him was none other than the leader of the Star City Gates' Senior Sister, Chong Mijing.
The girl who looked like she was carved from white jade stood quietly in front of Li Chengfeng, looking at him emotionlessly. It was as if she was not the one making the request, but waiting for Li Chengfeng's request instead.
Li Chengfeng smiled bitterly. "Are you not going to care about your sect's people?"
"They will be working with me. Of course, if you don't want to, you can let them do it on their own."
Li Chengfeng was going crazy. "What kind of Senior Sister are you?
You don't even care about your own Junior Brothers and Sisters? "
Chong Mi Jing didn't say anything and just glanced at Grand Senior Sister. Li Chengfeng immediately shut his mouth.
Indeed, compared to Grand Senior Sister, Chong Mijing was much more responsible. At least she acted like a leader.
Grand Senior Sister … She was really high and mighty, always appearing and disappearing. She did not even care about Ouyang Xiu, much less other disciples.
Li Chengfeng said helplessly, "You're still not satisfied with what happened, right?
Even if you follow me, you might not gain anything. "
Chong Mijing stared at him. "Can I or can't I?"
Li Chengfeng felt a headache coming on. "I need to discuss this with them."
Chong Mijing replied, "I'll wait for your news in fifteen minutes."
Han Tianxing watched her leave and said cautiously, "Senior Brother, the Star City Gates are the Spiritual Mountain Sect's mortal enemy!
This is a trap! "
Li Chengfeng shook his head. "You're right, the Star City Gates are our mortal enemy but Chong Mijing is not my mortal enemy.
She's not the kind of person who would scheme against us. "
Xiaobao came up and whispered, "Young Master, if Chong Mi Jing can join forces with us, our strength will increase greatly!"
Han Tianxing slapped him on the head and pretended to be angry. "Are you stupid? Would you really leave your back to a Star City Sect disciple?"
Xiaobao mumbled softly, "If Young Master dares, then I dare."
Han Tianxing glared at Xiaobao. "Use your brain too!"
Xiaobao was about to speak when he saw Zhao Feiyue rushing towards them. Everyone immediately turned to look at Zhao Feiyue. Zhao Feiyue walked into the crowd and nodded at them, "I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
"Let's hear the bad news first."
Zhao Feiyue nodded slightly. "The Sword Sage has withdrawn from the competition."
Li Chengfeng asked, "Isn't that good news?"
"What's the good news?" Xiaobao asked.
Zhao Feiyue said with a serious expression, "There are at least five sects with more than a hundred people working together to target you …"
Li Chengfeng inhaled sharply. "I didn't offend that many people, did I?"
Xiaobao gasped, "That's good news too?"
Han Tianxing smirked. "Senior Brother, the tallest tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.
Now that you're in the limelight, their priority is to kick you out of the competition. "
Li Chengfeng was speechless. "Then why is this good news?"
Zhao Feiyue chuckled. "You should be thankful that the others didn't gang up on you.
Do you know what the rumors are saying? "
Li Chengfeng raised his hand. "You don't have to say it, I can guess."
As he spoke, he looked in Chong Mijing's direction. She was still standing not far away, staring at him. Li Chengfeng stared at Chong Mijing and asked Zhao Feiyue, "Chong Mijing wants to join us, do you agree?"
Zhao Feiyue was taken aback. She looked at Chong Mi Jing and when their eyes met, she nodded. "Yes, she's a strong ally."
Han Tianxing was breaking down. "Your Highness, she's our mortal enemy!
Why do you all believe her? "
Zhao Feiyue said, "Chong Mi Jing cultivates the Galaxy Divine Technique. Cultivators of this technique have always been one-track minded, they don't know how to scheme."
Han Tianxing was shocked. "But it's hard to tell what's in a man's heart, it's better to be safe than sorry!"
Li Chengfeng patted Han Tianxing's shoulder. "Sometimes, you have to trust your instincts, just like how you chose to trust me back then."
Han Tianxing was speechless. He lowered his head but his eyes were still filled with confusion. He was indeed Li Chengfeng's loyal fan but unlike Xiaobao, he did not follow Li Chengfeng's orders obediently and never doubted anything he said.
This was a scholar who grew up reading books. He had his own independent thoughts and opinions, gentle on the outside but stubborn on the inside. Normal people would not be able to change that.
When Li Chengfeng finished speaking to Han Tianxing, he looked at Chong Mijing and nodded. Chong Mijing remained impassive, nodding back calmly before turning to leave.
Chong Mi Jing weaved through the crowd to the area where the Star City Sect disciples gathered. Before she entered, she heard Dao Tuming's excited voice. "I've contacted seven sects who will be joining us!
When the time comes, the tiny Spiritual Mountain Sect will be able to … Slap them all to the wall and they won't be able to get out!
Everyone laughed. The sharp-eyed Junior Sister beside Chong Mi Jing saw her enter and immediately said, "Senior Sister, you're back!"
Dao Tuming immediately rushed over, looking pleased with himself. "Senior Sister, I've convinced seven sects to team up with us against the Spiritual Mountain Sect. When the time comes, we'll show these Spiritual Mountain Sect disciples what's coming!
When that time comes, you'll be able to avenge your humiliation! "
Dao Tuming stood with his hands on his hips, his expression saying 'I'm amazing, come praise me'.
However, Chong Mi Jing only glanced at him indifferently and said, "What shame?"
Dao Tuming was speechless, smiling sheepishly, not knowing what to say.
Chong Mi Jing said coldly, "The path of cultivation is long and arduous. Failure is not scary or shameful.
What's truly shameful is not being able to face failure. What's truly scary is losing the courage to forge ahead on the path of cultivation and indulging in worldly affairs. "
Dao Tuming's smile stiffened. "Yes, yes, Senior Sister is right."
Chong Mi Jing no longer looked at him. "Star City Sect will team up with Li Chengfeng."
All the disciples of the Star City Sect were dumbfounded after hearing this sentence. They simply couldn't believe their ears.
"What?" Dao Tuming was tongue-tied, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets. "Senior Sister, did I hear that right?"
Chong Mi Jing said: "You did not hear wrong."
Dao Tuming was furious, veins popping on his forehead. "Senior Sister!
The Spiritual Mountain Sect is our mortal enemy! "
Chong Mi Jing said, "But not Li Chengfeng."
Dao Tuming's face turned red with anger. "He's a disciple of the Spiritual Mountain Sect!
And the Hidden Sword Court Master of the Spiritual Mountain Sect! "
Chong Mi Jing retorted, "So?"
This sentence made Dao Tuming choke, and he couldn't say anything for a moment.
Chong Mi Jing glanced at them, then turned to leave, saying, "If you're not willing, I'll team up with Li Chengfeng myself."
Everyone stared blankly as Chong Mi Jing left, then burst into an uproar. They gathered together and argued fiercely.
Dao Tuming lowered his head, his fists clenched, his body trembling, his eyes filled with shame, anger, and hatred!
Senior Sister, why?
Why do you look down on me so much?
Why would you rather team up with your mortal enemy, the Spiritual Mountain Sect, than team up with me?!
