Keep your promises

Zhou Wei watched Du Huasheng land in front of him, drew his sword, and intended to kill Du Huasheng.

Fortunately, Xiao Feng noticed his movement, blocked Zhou Wei's path, and asked with a serious face, "What do you mean by this?"

Zhou Wei pointed at Du Huasheng in anger, "We must get rid of this menace. Anyway, if he dies here, no one will know it was us."

Bing Rouqiao saw the two of them looking at her and shrugged with an indifferent expression, "Our Jade Maiden Sect and your Qing Sect have no dealings with each other."

Even if they saw Du Huasheng die by Zhou Wei's hand, she believed they wouldn't be able to report it.

Besides, Du Huasheng just tried to kill a Disciple of the Jade Maiden Sect, so how could Bing Rouqiao possibly speak up for Du Huasheng?

Hearing that Bing Rouqiao wouldn't report it, Zhou Wei looked at Xiao Feng, "Bro, we can't tolerate this anymore. Let's kill him."

Just then, Bing Rouqiao stepped forward from the side, "I agree with Zhou Wei's suggestion. Keeping someone like this by your side is very dangerous. I suggest killing him sooner rather than later."

Xiao Feng looked at them having the same opinion and shook his head at them, "No matter what, we are still fellow Senior Brothers. We must take him back to the Sect."

In his opinion, as long as he exposed what Du Huasheng did in the Forbidden Ground, the Azure Sect Master and the Elders would have no reason to keep him in the Sect.

Du Huasheng heard Xiao Feng insisting on keeping him and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I am your Senior Brother. I am willing to accept the Sect Leader's judgment. Take me with you."

At this moment, he was plotting in his mind how to find an opportunity to retaliate.

If Zhou Wei killed him, he would lose his chance.

Xiao Feng saw Du Huasheng trying to play tricks, so he unleashed the cold energy contained within the Hanbing Sword, turning Du Huasheng into an ice sculpture.

Since he had been turned into an ice sculpture once before, he understood that becoming an ice sculpture wouldn't kill him, but merely keep him controlled here.

Zhou Wei stared blankly at Du Huasheng's transformation and involuntarily walked up to Du Huasheng, "This... he won't die inside, will he?"

Xiao Feng shrugged with an indifferent expression, "As long as no one tries to kill him, he will be fine. We can take him with us when we plan to leave."

It was certainly not feasible to carry Du Huasheng with him all the time, as they both knew Du Huasheng was full of treachery.

If they let him follow behind, he could counterattack at any moment, which would be the most disadvantageous situation.

Bing Rouqiao watched the two of them discussing Du Huasheng's fate, her gaze fixed on the Hanbing Sword.

Now that Xiao Feng had kept the Hanbing Sword with him, it was almost impossible to get it back, so she had given up.

Just then, Xiao Feng's peripheral vision caught Bing Rouqiao's face, and he involuntarily walked up to her, smiling, "It's now returned to its rightful owner."

He raised the Hanbing Sword and placed it in Bing Rouqiao's hand, signaling her to put the Hanbing Sword away.

When Bing Rouqiao saw Xiao Feng wanting to give her the Hanbing Sword, she was shocked, "This... you use the Hanbing Sword so easily, why are you willing to give it to me?"

Xiao Feng heard Bing Rouqiao's disbelief that he was giving her the Hanbing Sword and laughed heartily, "It's simple, because I keep my promises."

Since he had already promised the Hanbing Sword to Bing Rouqiao, there was no way he would keep the Hanbing Sword for himself.

The Jade Maiden Sect Disciples looked at Xiao Feng valuing promises so much, exchanged glances, and came to Bing Rouqiao's side, "We can ask him to help us."

Bing Rouqiao saw the Jade Maiden Sect Disciples valuing Xiao Feng so highly, gritted her teeth, as if pondering whether to reveal the matter.

The Qing Sect might not know what treasures were in the Forbidden Ground, but other Sects very likely knew what treasures were inside.

Xiao Feng glanced at the few of them, "If you have something to say, just say it, otherwise, the two of us will be leaving."

He had no time to waste staying here, as they had not gained anything yet.

Bing Rouqiao saw them looking at her, took a deep breath, and said seriously, "I hope you can help us obtain the Ice Silkworm."

"Ice Silkworm?"

Xiao Feng had only seen such a thing in some ancient texts; it was considered a very rare species.

He didn't expect that there would be things passed down from ancient times in the Forbidden Ground, which surprised him greatly.

Xiao Feng considered for a moment, looked at Bing Rouqiao, and said seriously, "We didn't come here to do good deeds. We don't do things without profit."

If there was only the Ice Silkworm there, Xiao Feng and Zhou Wei would become the bodyguards of the Jade Maiden Sect, and he was unwilling to do such a losing business.

Bing Rouqiao knew Xiao Feng wouldn't agree, so she quickly said, "As long as you are willing to help us obtain the Ice Silkworm, we can represent the Sect and agree to one request from you."

The other Jade Maiden Sect Disciples nodded repeatedly, "Yes, the Ice Silkworm is very important to us. If you can help us get it, you will be doing us a great favor."

Xiao Feng heard that Bing Rouqiao was actually willing to agree to any condition of his, pretended to think for a while, and looked Bing Rouqiao up and down, "Can I make a request now?"

In Bing Rouqiao's eyes, as long as Xiao Feng agreed to help, the Ice Silkworm was theirs.

Bing Rouqiao and the Jade Maiden Sect Disciples exchanged glances and nodded slightly, "Of course, as long as you've thought it through, we can fulfill your request at any time."

Soon, Xiao Feng walked up to her side, with a teasing look, "If I find the Ice Silkworm, I want you to be my concubine."

He intended to use this method to test how important the Ice Silkworm was to them.

As soon as he said this, his eyes were fixed on Bing Rouqiao, as if he wanted to see what Bing Rouqiao would say.

Bing Rouqiao's face was very unpleasant, and she bit her teeth hard, "If you can help us find the Ice Silkworm, I am willing to agree to your request."

Originally, Xiao Feng thought Bing Rouqiao would find an excuse to refuse, but no one expected her to agree without hesitation.

Just from her actions, it was clear that they were indeed very urgently in need of the Ice Silkworm.

Xiao Feng didn't expect them to agree so quickly, which caught him off guard.

He stammered for a long time, took a deep breath, "That was a joke just now. I need to reconsider. Don't be anxious yet."

To prevent misunderstandings, Xiao Feng looked at Bing Rouqiao, "I haven't agreed to help you find the Ice Silkworm yet. I need some time to think."

When Bing Rouqiao heard Xiao Feng suddenly backing out, she felt he was playing with her and looked at Xiao Feng angrily, "Don't think we can't do without you. Let's go."
