607: Oh well, circumstances are beyond our control!

It's him!

Is he that peerless Saint who emerged from Lingzhou three hundred years ago, sweeping aside all heroes in the Thirteen Continents' Saint Competition?

This time, Xiao Ruofeng, Gu Qing, Jiang Guchen, and Ouyang Fei were all startled!

They hadn't thought of it before.

Now, hearing the voices of these Jianghu Cultivators, they suddenly remembered.

The four men's expressions became very interesting, somewhat like constipation—a bit uncomfortable, yet unable to show too much.

They still wanted to save Face.

The name Yuan Fei was too dazzling!

He was also like a Dragon seeing its head but not its tail, rarely active in the Jianghu, so it was understandable that they had forgotten him for a moment.

But now, should they continue to confront Yuan Fei?

Even if they were lent ten times their courage, they wouldn't dare to continue.

Xiao Ruofeng's skin was also made of iron; it was as if he had completely forgotten what had just happened.

He stood up, cupped his hands to Yuan Fei, and said with a smile, "I have long heard of Saint Yuan Fei's great name, but I never expected to meet him here in Lingzhou. It is truly a blessing."

"Just now, I was presumptuous, and my words were offensive. I hope Saint Yuan Fei and your friend can forgive me."

The four men, who had been so arrogant just now, were now completely deflated... There was nothing they could do; who told him to be so formidable?

Compared to Yuan Fei, whether in Sect power, individual strength, or prestige, they were all incomparable to him.

To truly compare would be to invite humiliation!

As for making a move?

If they didn't want to court death, then they should honestly admit their mistake, be thick-skinned, and not care about losing Face.

Yuan Fei heard this and looked at Xiao Ruofeng and the others with a smile.

Then, he turned to Shen Tianxing and said, "Brother Shen, what do you think we should do with them?"

The Saint Realm values strength!

The bigger the fist, the harder the truth; if you have no reason, you still have reason!

There were too many powerful forces. Xiao Ruofeng and his group were very formidable in Youzhou, and no one dared to provoke them.

But this wasn't Youzhou!

It would be too easy for Yuan Fei to deal with them!

However, no one expected that Yuan Fei, who ranked third on the Saint List, would actually ask for Shen Tianxing's opinion at this moment.

All the Cultivators present showed surprise.

Who exactly was this young man who looked so young and exceptionally handsome?

Even Yuan Fei had to ask for his opinion?

Xiao Ruofeng and Gu Qing's group were stunned. They hadn't expected that by merely stepping on the other party, they seemed to have encountered a big shot they couldn't afford to offend?

Jiang Chuan remained noncommittal.

Anyway, Xiao Ruofeng and the others hadn't caused him any substantial harm; who couldn't engage in a war of words?

Kill them?

That would be a bit far-fetched and unnecessary.

Their strength was not enough to make Shen Tianxing harbor any thoughts of killing them.

Anyway, it wouldn't benefit him in improving his cultivation.

Shen Tianxing said, "Never mind. Let them say what they like; we'll just do our own thing."

After today, they probably wouldn't have any further interaction, and Jiang Chuan wasn't interested in discussing it further.

Shen Qingling, who was beside him, pouted unhappily when she heard this.

They had been bullied to their doorstep, and now, merely intimidated by Yuan Fei, they were given a chance to deal with them but wouldn't take it?

How could Shen Tianxing know Shen Qingling's thoughts?

Anyway, he wouldn't take it to heart; these people weren't worthy of his attention.

They were even less qualified for him to personally deal with them.

Yuan Fei wasn't surprised at all that Shen Tianxing would say this. So, he waved his hand casually and said, "Alright, consider yourselves lucky today. Since Brother Shen isn't bothering with it, then I, this young master, won't bother with you either."

"Don't disturb our meal here; hurry up and leave!"

He let them go so casually.

Xiao Ruofeng and the four were very unhappy when they heard this, but they couldn't refute it!

They had lived this long, and it was the first time they had been forced to such an extent.

Alas... never mind, circumstances are stronger than people!

"Thank you, Saint Yuan Fei!"

Xiao Ruofeng and the others quickly stood up and bowed. Each of them was too ashamed to stay any longer, so they covered their Faces and left directly.

The surrounding Cultivators were all incredibly astonished when they heard this.

"Who exactly is this young man? Even Saint Yuan Fei seems to treat him with great respect. So young, could he also be someone with a significant background?"

"Who knows? The Divine Treasury Demon Ridge is about to open, and countless Saints and Holy Sons are arriving in Lingzhou. This young man being acquainted with Yuan Fei suggests he's no ordinary person."

"Fortunately, I didn't get involved blindly just now, or I might have been in for a bad time!"

The crowd discussed in low voices.

Their gazes towards Jiang Chuan now held a different kind of light.

Some were surprised, some admired, and some had Faces full of mockery, still looking down on Shen Tianxing.

"Brother Shen, you are still too soft-hearted. In this Saint Realm, when you encounter such provocative fellows, just kill them directly; there's no need to give them any chances."

Yuan Fei had seen such things many times.

Countless such fellows had died at his hands!

Shen Tianxing, however, smiled and said, "It has nothing to do with being soft-hearted; it's just that they aren't qualified."

The reason was that simple.

"Brother Shen is indeed unique. Come, come, let's drink; don't let these few fellows spoil our mood."

"Oh, and since there's still some time before the Forbidden Ground opens, let's have a good time exploring Lingzhou these days."

"And visit some Secret Realms in Lingzhou; perhaps there will be some gains."

Yuan Fei laughed heartily, raised his cup, and drank with Shen Tianxing.

Shen Qingling was there to accompany them. She only took a small sip, and then her eyes lit up slightly. The taste of this wine was completely different from what she usually drank!

The mouthfeel and aroma were much better than those other things!

No wonder Yuan Fei liked it so much.

The three of them leisurely drank wine in this restaurant, paired with the restaurant's dishes, and they had a very happy time... Meanwhile, after Xiao Ruofeng and his group left the restaurant, they walked on the street, each with a knot in their hearts.

They couldn't swallow this insult today.

They had lost a lot of Face!

Even though they knew they were facing someone ranked third on the Saint List, they still felt humiliated.

Cultivators cared about their Face.

Especially young prodigies like Xiao Ruofeng, even more so.

"Brother Xiao, we've lost so much Face today; we'll probably be laughed to death!"

Jiang Guchen hung his head, looking indignant.

Ouyang Fei, beside him, also said, "Yuan Fei is too overbearing. He really thinks that just because he's ranked third on the Saint List, he can disregard us and even humiliate the Cultivators of our Youzhou. It's too much!"

He had forgotten that they were the ones who started the trouble, not Yuan Fei.

Xiao Ruofeng said coldly, "I won't let this go. But before that, we need to find out the background of that person named Shen who was with Yuan Fei."

"Even Yuan Fei was so polite and accommodating to him; I don't think he's simple."

Although they were usually arrogant, overbearing, and looked down on others, they weren't fools!

Those who could achieve such status in their Sect certainly couldn't be fools!
