Grand Senior Sister's sudden appearance was both unexpected and normal. After all, to everyone else, Grand Senior Sister was Li Chengfeng's rightful and 'legal' partner.
Cultivators did not need to witness a marriage, nor did they need a formal marriage. As long as the two were in love with each other and publicly announced that they were partners, the relationship would be established. Although there was no law to restrict or protect it, most people would respect and acquiesce to such a relationship.
That was why Li Chengfeng was frantically searching for his missing handmaiden. Even an idiot would know that the relationship between the two of them was not simple. Some even secretly mocked Grand Senior Sister for being cuckolded.
That was why Li Chengfeng had come out to look for Su Yuehan. If Grand Senior Sister did not come out to show her presence, everyone would suspect that their relationship was real.
That was why Grand Senior Sister came just as Li Chengfeng was about to lose control.
"Move!"
Li Chengfeng's eyes were fixed on Grand Senior Sister, his voice hoarse and cold, like the snow in the winter.
Grand Senior Sister saw that although Li Chengfeng was looking at her, his gaze was looking past her, behind her, as if he was looking for the girl who had disappeared. He did not see her at all!
Grand Senior Sister was inexplicably angry. Although it wasn't jealousy, but … she had never been ignored by a man so many times before!
Grand Senior Sister huffed coldly. In a flash, she appeared in front of Li Chengfeng. Li Chengfeng only had time to raise his hand when she slapped his forehead.
Li Chengfeng was like an arrow at the end of its flight. Even if he was at his peak, he would not be able to fight back if Grand Senior Sister wanted to beat him up.
Grand Senior Sister's palm was not big but it covered Li Chengfeng's forehead and the top of his skull, immobilising him. Everyone watched as Grand Senior Sister made a mudra with her other hand, then pointed at his heart. Li Chengfeng's pupils shrank to the size of needles as countless images appeared in his eyes. They spun and overlapped, then displayed in front of him like a running lantern.
Li Chengfeng stared blankly, unmoving. After some time, Grand Senior Sister finally retracted her hand, glanced at Li Chengfeng, then turned to leave.
Li Chengfeng wobbled, stumbling two steps like a zombie. Just as he was about to kneel on the snow, Xiaobao and Han Tianxing caught up to him and hugged him.
Xiaobao and Han Tianxing saw that Li Chengfeng's eyes were empty as if his soul had been sucked out. They looked at each other, worried, not knowing what spell Grand Senior Sister had cast on him.
But very quickly, Xiaobao gasped in surprise. In Li Chengfeng's eyes, there seemed to be a moving image floating in his eyeball. As it was too small, he could not see what it was. He only knew that Li Chengfeng was' looking 'at the moving image in front of him, because his eyeball was moving slightly, and his body was reacting slightly.
Xiaobao and Han Tianxing looked at each other, worried but there was nothing they could do. They did not have the guts to ask Grand Senior Sister what she had done to Li Chengfeng. Even if they had the guts, they did not have the ability to chase after her.
The only fortunate thing was that Li Chengfeng did not abandon everything and leave this place. This was a blessing in disguise.
Both of them quickly carried Li Chengfeng back. Ouyang Nan and the rest rushed over but could not do anything. They could not even tell what spell Li Chengfeng was under.
Fortunately, Li Chengfeng did not have to participate in any battles today, tomorrow or the day after. He would have to wait until four days later for his next big battle to happen.
This gave Li Chengfeng an extremely precious buffer period to recover.
Otherwise, in this state, he would definitely lose if he fought the next day!
Everyone anxiously gathered around Li Chengfeng's bed, watching him as if he had lost his soul. He did not sleep, did not eat, did not drink, and did not close his eyes for two days and two nights. On the third night, Li Chengfeng finally closed his eyes, but no one knew if he had fallen asleep. All they saw was his eyelids twitching violently and sweat beading on his forehead, as if he was having a nightmare.
On the morning of the fourth day, Li Chengfeng slowly opened his eyes. Han Tianxing and Xiaobao, who had been watching over him for a few days, were overjoyed.
It was Xiaobao's turn to rest, so he was resting in the room next door. Han Tianxing's head fell over and over again. When he woke up, he saw that Li Chengfeng's eyes were already open, staring at the ceiling.
Although Li Chengfeng's eyes were open before he closed them, Han Tianxing could tell that Li Chengfeng had already recovered. There were tears in his eyes, filled with sorrow and pain.
Han Tianxing lunged over, about to shout but was afraid of disturbing Li Chengfeng. He swallowed his words and only dared to call out softly, "Senior Brother, Senior Brother?"
Even though it was just a soft cry, Xiaobao quickly woke up from his slumber. Ouyang Nan and Su Nan, who were still worried about Li Chengfeng, also woke up. The few of them squeezed into the room and looked at Li Chengfeng with concern. However, none of them dared to speak, afraid that they would disturb him.
After a long while, Li Chengfeng slowly sat up and looked at everyone blankly. "What … what time is it?
What year is it? "
This question stunned everyone. They looked at each other in dismay.
Did Li Chengfeng … think he had slept for a long time?
Xiaobao said carefully, "Young Master … you were hit by Grand Senior Sister's spell, you've been unconscious for three days."
Li Chengfeng was taken aback, subconsciously mumbling, "Only … three days?
But why do I feel like three years … thirty years … three lifetimes? "
Everyone was even more confused and nervous.
Ouyang Nan said in a low voice, "Junior Brother Chengfeng, although I don't know what kind of spell you're under, but … you're probably under an illusion. What you're seeing should be an illusion, don't take it seriously."
Li Chengfeng was silent. He said in a low voice, "I … I understand.
Don't worry!
I'm fine now … "
Han Tianxing could not believe his ears. "Senior Brother Chengfeng, you … you're really fine?"
Li Chengfeng looked at everyone and smiled. "I'm really fine now …"
Ouyang Nan looked at Li Chengfeng solemnly. "Junior Brother, tomorrow is your crucial battle!
If you win, you'll have a high chance of getting first! "
Li Chengfeng was taken aback. "Why?"
Han Tianxing interrupted excitedly, "Senior Brother, you didn't know that Li Xuanming and Huangfu Song had a terrible battle and both were heavily injured!
As long as you can beat Chen Xuanyu, you might really get first! "
Li Chengfeng lowered his eyelids and did not speak. When he looked up again, his eyes shone with unprecedented determination. "I will definitely get first place!"
