399: Hua Mengjie's IQ Reduction

"Mengjie, you really don't need to force yourself anymore," Li Qingfeng said with a slight smile, a hint of helplessness and relief in his expression. "Since we don't have enough contribution points, we can only go back home."

Upon hearing this, Hua Mengjie's beautiful face revealed an unconcealable look of disappointment and guilt.

She bit her lip tightly, as if to engrave that self-reproach deep into her heart: "But... Brother Qingfeng, it's all my fault. I swore before that I could get that treasure, but now I've disappointed you because of my broken promise. However, please believe me, I will definitely find a way to raise the required contribution points as soon as possible!"

"Silly girl, don't say that. This matter was full of variables to begin with, and you've already done your best," Li Qingfeng said gently.

However, deep within his seemingly gentle gaze, a trace of imperceptible malice flashed quickly.

After a slight pause, Li Qingfeng's eyes became firm, as if he had suddenly thought of a good idea:

"Since Elder Chen Xuan is unwilling to exchange it for us in the conventional way, why don't we think of a different approach? Perhaps there are other ways to achieve our goal?"

"A different way?" Hua Mengjie asked, puzzled.

"Yes, since Elder Chen Xuan needs contribution points, then we will use other methods to obtain Peach Blossoms," Li Qingfeng said with a mysterious smile.

Hua Mengjie and the Disciples of the Mission Hall were both confused; they didn't understand what Li Qingfeng meant by "other methods."

However, Li Qingfeng didn't waste time with them and left with Hua Mengjie.

"Brother Qingfeng, the other method you mentioned is..."

"Look, the producer of these Qi Luck Peach Blossom is Chen Xuan, and he has just joined the Sect. Furthermore, his relationship with you is the closest..."

"You mean..."

"Exactly! As long as you, Mengjie, find a way to build a good relationship with Elder Chen Xuan, then, perhaps, we can even get free Peach Blossoms to use! Every day! Isn't this more clever than exchanging them at the Mission Hall?" Li Qingfeng said with a smile.

"Yes, Brother Qingfeng is right! But..." Hua Mengjie bit her lip slightly, a hint of hesitation on her face, as if there were some unspeakable words in her heart.

After all, in her eyes, Chen Xuan was merely a young, naive boy of low seniority. For a proud woman like her to humble herself to actively curry favor with and beg someone, it was truly an extremely embarrassing matter for her.

"But what?" Li Qingfeng noticed Hua Mengjie's unusual behavior and asked softly.

Hua Mengjie was stunned for a moment by Li Qingfeng's question, then quickly waved her hand and said, "Oh, no, it's nothing, Brother Qingfeng, don't ask any more. I promise, I will definitely try my best to get along with Elder Chen Xuan, Brother Qingfeng can rest assured!"

"Hmm, if that's the case, then I won't stay any longer. You know, as a Sect Leader, I have many complicated matters to deal with every day, and I really can't spare the time," Li Qingfeng sighed helplessly, then earnestly instructed:

"Remember what I said, you must get along well with Elder Chen Xuan. This is crucial for whether I can marry you openly in the future!" After saying that, Li Qingfeng intended to turn and leave.

"Hmm, then Brother Qingfeng, when you have time, you must come and see me often!"

"Between you and me, it's only a matter of time, why be so anxious!"

"Hmm..." Hua Mengjie nodded, blushing, and watched Li Qingfeng leave.

Li Qingfeng, who had left Feixian Sect, soon returned to his own Sect.

"Hua Mengjie, what a useless woman! If you hadn't promised me that you could definitely get the Peach Blossoms, do you think I would want to go to Feixian Sect and be looked down upon by those useless Disciples!" Li Qingfeng returned and vented his anger at his Immortal Cave.

That's right, he had always had the label of being a kept man, and it was given to him by the Disciples of Feixian Sect. Every time he went to Feixian Sect, all the Disciples there would look at him as if he were a monkey, which he found hard to accept.

"One day, I will make your Feixian Sect suffer total annihilation!" After venting, Li Qingfeng's expression grew even colder.

The next moment, the communication stone at his waist glowed slightly, and a message entered his ear.

"Everything is ready, isn't it, Li Xingchen? You always hinder my Disciple's plans. This time, let's see how your Revered Master deals with you!"

After saying this, Li Qingfeng's figure gradually disappeared from where he stood.

...

On Hua Mengjie's side, she was currently standing in front of Chen Xuan's Immortal Cave, blushing and looking conflicted.

She truly wasn't good at currying favor with others, but she also didn't want to disappoint Li Qingfeng even more.

Finally, she took a deep breath and knocked on the door of Chen Xuan's Immortal Cave.

"Elder Chen Xuan, are... are you there?" Hua Mengjie asked softly from outside the door.

"Oh? So it's Lord Hua? Do you need something from me? Are you perhaps here to exchange for Life Peach Blossoms?" Chen Xuan opened the door and saw Hua Mengjie standing outside, feeling a little surprised.

"That... that..." Hua Mengjie said, blushing and stammering, "Why haven't I seen Elder Lin Rou?"

"You mean her? She's been in seclusion for Cultivation during this time. She won't be coming out anytime soon!"

"Ah? Oh, so that's how it is!"

"Hmm, does Lord Hua have anything else?"

"..."

"Lord Hua?"

"Elder Chen Xuan, you can just call me Mengjie. Lord Hua sounds too distant!"

Chen Xuan's gaze began to turn strange.

"System, what's wrong with this woman? Why has she changed so much? She wasn't like this when she was in Joyous Union Sect!"

"Ding, retrieving data..."
