223: return

However, this was also a good thing for the Mulan Manor disciple; trading an arm for his life was a decent outcome.

"Let's go." Li Changfeng's lips curled into a smirk as he took a sharp breath.

And right at that moment...

Li Changfeng had made his decision, and with a wave of his sleeve—

Boom!

The ice covering the Mulan Manor disciple's body completely dissipated, and he regained his freedom.

"Big brother, thank you for saving my life."

The Mulan Manor disciple hurriedly bowed in thanks; to stay alive, he even went as far as to kneel and kowtow.

The Mulan Manor disciple wanted to live; he wanted to live a good life.

"You may go. Don't let me see you again." Li Changfeng narrowed his eyes slightly and let out a sigh of relief.

Hearing this, the Mulan Manor disciple was overjoyed. He immediately stood up and turned to leave.

Li Changfeng turned back, watching the retreating figure of the Mulan Manor disciple, and let out a smirk. "Leaving just like that? Don't you want to say something?"

"I do. Tell me your name." The Mulan Manor disciple paused for a moment, then slowly turned around.

At that moment, a cold glint flashed in the Mulan Manor disciple's eyes as he stared intently at Li Changfeng, his gaze filled with fierce hostility.

The Mulan Manor disciple had lost an arm to survive, and thus, a grudge was formed between the two.

In truth, even if the Mulan Manor disciple didn't leave Mulan Manor, he would still be kicked out.

Because Mulan Manor would not keep a piece of trash; since he had become a cripple, he had nowhere left to go.

"We won't meet again in the future, so what's the point of knowing my name?" Li Changfeng paused before smiling.

In reality, Li Changfeng didn't take the matter to heart at all, merely letting out a dismissive smirk.

"I want to know the name of my benefactor." A cold glint flashed in the Mulan Manor disciple's eyes, and looking at his expression, it certainly didn't seem like he intended to repay any kindness in the future.

"Benefactor? I cut off one of your arms, yet you call me your benefactor? What exactly are you thinking?" Li Changfeng became even more curious; this Mulan Manor disciple was truly interesting.

Hearing those words...

The Mulan Manor disciple first fell silent, and only after a long while did he let out a breath.

A long time passed.

The Mulan Manor disciple already had an idea. Of course, he was also very clear about one point.

Li Changfeng was no fool. This young man before him would not easily reveal his name; wouldn't that just invite trouble in the future?

"Forget it, forget it. You really want to know?" Li Changfeng stepped forward and stood before the Mulan Manor disciple.

At that moment, Li Changfeng's bright eyes stared at the Mulan Manor disciple.

Their eyes met, an exchange of gazes that would reveal their true intentions.

And for Li Changfeng, this was exactly what he wanted.

"Yes! Will you tell me?" The Mulan Manor disciple gave a faint smile—a smile that was terrifying and unsettling.

Li Changfeng didn't know what this kid was up to either.

However, it was just a name. Could this kid really accomplish anything?

"Then listen well. My name is Li Changfeng, a Jianghu wanderer." Li Changfeng smiled slightly.

In truth, Li Changfeng was holding back, not wanting to involve the Divine Sword Sect.

After all, the title of Young Sect Leader of the Divine Sword Sect was a bit too prominent; for this Mulan Manor disciple, it was better left unsaid.

This Mulan Manor disciple's intentions were unknown.

It was better for Li Changfeng to be cautious. If the boy wanted to cause trouble in the future, he would have a way to handle it.

"A Jianghu wanderer?" The Mulan Manor disciple was stunned. He found it hard to believe that someone with such strength could be a mere Jianghu wanderer.

It was indeed difficult to believe.

However, Li Changfeng maintained a calm expression, not taking the matter to heart at all.

If the kid believed him, then all was well; if not, Li Changfeng wouldn't bother explaining anything.

After all, whether to believe the name or not was the disciple's own business.

If Li Changfeng didn't want to leave his mark, there was nothing the Mulan Manor disciple could do about it.

"Alright, I won't say more. It's time to go." Li Changfeng turned back and glanced at the Mulan Manor disciple with a slight smile.

"Leaving just like that?" The Mulan Manor disciple hadn't even regained his composure when Li Changfeng prepared to depart.

The Mulan Manor disciple's gaze sharpened as he stared intently at Li Changfeng, trying his best to commit Li Changfeng's appearance to memory.

Only by doing so would the Mulan Manor disciple be able to recognize Li Changfeng if they met again. Only then would he have a chance for revenge!

Consequently, the Mulan Manor disciple felt somewhat helpless; he couldn't exactly keep pressing for more information, as that wouldn't be a wise move for him.

"Otherwise? Do you want me to stay for dinner?" Li Changfeng joked.

Then, with a light tap of his toes, Li Changfeng soared into the air.

In the blink of an eye, Li Changfeng vanished from the Mulan Manor disciple's sight.

"What kind of background does this person have? Why is he so powerful!" With a darkened expression, the Mulan Manor disciple looked up, a cold glint flashing in his eyes as he stared in the direction Li Changfeng had gone.

Li Changfeng's departure had happened too quickly.

The Mulan Manor disciple hadn't even had time to react, and it was only now that he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the Mulan Manor disciple had lost an arm, he had, at the very least, survived.

In a way, it was the best of a bad situation.

In the sky, a buzzing sound echoed as a powerful surge of Spiritual Qi erupted.

This couldn't help but make one gasp. The Mulan Manor disciple looked up toward the direction where the Spiritual Qi had burst forth, his brow furrowed in confusion.

"To be able to keep my life after facing such a person is truly a blessing from a past life." The Mulan Manor disciple took a sharp breath, feeling even more helpless.

If there was a chance, the Mulan Manor disciple hoped to encounter Li Changfeng once more.

Of course, next time, the Mulan Manor disciple would surely seek revenge. As long as he killed Li Changfeng, his great grudge would be settled.

The Spiritual Qi in the air was very strong, a fact that Li Changfeng also noticed, causing him to frown.

After a long while, Li Changfeng suddenly remembered something and looked back toward the direction he had just come from.

Then, Li Changfeng suddenly turned around and rushed back toward the place where those ice sculptures were.

"Holy crap, why is he back again?" The Mulan Manor disciple's pupils shrank violently, his face a mask of shock.

The Mulan Manor disciple had briefly bandaged his wound. He first took a sharp breath, then his face darkened as a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

Then, the Mulan Manor disciple clenched his fists tightly, having finished his simple bandaging.
