444: Li Qingfeng's experience

Evidently, Hua Mengjie and the others' reduction in intelligence was targeted; towards Ye Xingchen, there would only be baseless hatred.

“…”

“Alright, I understand now. Here, this is specially prepared for you, your favorite Cola! Take it quickly, I need to figure something out right now, so you drink first.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xuan, with a slight smile, gently pushed open the two tightly shut large doors, his movements elegant and unhurried. Immediately after, he casually handed the cola bottle in his hand to Hua Mengjie.

Seeing this, Hua Mengjie quickly knelt on both knees and respectfully said, “Thank you, Master, for your grace. This servant is endlessly grateful.”

“System, pull up Ye Xingchen’s information.”

“Retrieving…”

Name: Ye Xingchen

Cultivation Realm: Undergoing Tribulation Stage Seven (Foundation Stable)

Innate Potential: Heavenly Spiritual Root (Promising Future)

Special Physique: Fallen Devil Body

Skills Mastered: Wind Blade Slash, Heavenly Thunder Spell, Water Dragon Strike, Clear Wind Sword Art, Thousand Shadow Art…

Immortal Soul: Evil Eye Lord

Immortal Soul Martial Skill: Evil Eye Domain, Electric Eye Intimidation, Mental Interference…

Current Luck Value: 170000

Current Goal: Clear his name, but his heart is utterly disappointed with this world. He plans to give up his beloved Su Yao and find an opportunity to leave Feixian Sect.

“170,000, Hua Mengjie 100,000, Ji Youruo 100,000. His total is only a little over 300,000, not even half of Tang Sirui’s.”

“Then his subsequent Heaven's Mandate Value is probably with those few people…”

“Knock knock knock!”

“Junior Sister Mengjie, is that you back? It’s me, your Senior Brother Qingfeng!” Li Qingfeng knocked on the palace door from outside.

“Woo?!!!”

Hua Mengjie felt a surge of anxiety in her heart, but without Chen Xuan’s command, she dared not get up.

“Tsk tsk tsk, so it’s your old flame who’s here, huh? Then Mengjie, do you want to see him like this?” Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow.

Hua Mengjie said nothing, but shook her head with a panicked expression, as if every cell in her body was refusing.

Of course, she couldn't speak either.

“Eh? That’s not right, Mengjie. I remember you said at the time that you wanted me to command you to personally kill that scumbag Li Qingfeng. How come now you’ve changed your mind?”

“Woo woo woo!”

Hua Mengjie still didn’t speak, only shook her head continuously.

“Oh? Are you perhaps regretting it? Alright then, I’ll just let him in.” Chen Xuan pretended to open the large door.

“No… not!” Hua Mengjie finally spoke, “Cough cough cough…”

“Oh, you mean you haven’t regretted it, but are just begging me for mercy? Don’t be like that, you weren’t like this in my Inner World.” Chen Xuan pretended to realize, and asked with a smile.

“Woo… woo woo…” Hua Mengjie shook her head again.

“Then what do you mean?” Chen Xuan was puzzled.

“Woo woo woo…” Hua Mengjie tried hard to point at her mouth.

Chen Xuan “froze” for a moment, then understood that Hua Mengjie wanted to say that she couldn't speak right now and could only express herself with “woo” sounds.

“Alright, alright, I understand. Then you just wait here obediently, I’ll go send Li Qingfeng away.” Chen Xuan said, then prepared to get up.

“Cough cough…”

Hua Mengjie stopped Chen Xuan, thought for a moment, then shook her head again.

“Then what exactly do you want me to do?” Chen Xuan asked.

“…Woo woo…” Hua Mengjie hesitated for a moment, then gestured with her hand.

Chen Xuan watched for a long time and finally understood. She meant for him to unseal her mouth so she could speak.

“This request is a bit excessive…” Chen Xuan said with a smile, “Alright, I’ll unseal it for you, but the bet you made with me in the Inner World is finalized. Don’t even think about trying it again.”

With that, Chen Xuan removed the Restriction on Hua Mengjie.

“Mm!” Hua Mengjie could finally make a sound. She quickly asked, “Master, this servant didn’t know what was going on at the time, but it absolutely couldn’t have been me who wanted to kill Senior Brother Qingfeng. The current me is the true me. Please spare his life!”

“Of course, but our bet, you lost.”

“This servant is naturally clear on that. This servant is willing to admit defeat.”

“Alright, seeing how straightforward you are.” Chen Xuan waved his hand, then pulled Hua Mengjie to the door.

“As for meeting him, you can meet him a little later. For now, you two can just chat through the door.”

“Eh, this, why is this… woo!”

“Nothing, I’m just activating Zero-frame Start.”

Just like that, under Chen Xuan’s signal, Hua Mengjie lay at the palace entrance and conversed with Li Qingfeng.

“Mengjie, is that you? You’re in the palace, aren’t you?!” Li Qingfeng asked nervously.

During this period, he had been secluded on Qingfeng Mountain, but his life wasn't going well.

One must know that Hua Mengjie’s little disciple Mu Feng was originally his disciple. Under his meticulous planning, he had deliberately placed Mu Feng beside Hua Mengjie to lie in wait, with the aim of finding a good opportunity to drive out that annoying Ye Xingchen.

But who could have foreseen that although Ye Xingchen was indeed eventually ostracized, he himself encountered an unexpected situation, forcing him to rely on Qingfeng Mountain, where Hua Mengjie resided, eagerly awaiting Chen Xuan’s Life Peach Blossom to prolong his life.

Given how things had developed, if he could have remained cloistered indoors all day, things would have been peaceful enough.

Unfortunately, Mu Feng didn't think so. Just when he was at his most vulnerable and isolated, this “good disciple” who used to call him Master, subjected him to round after round of merciless taunts, beatings, and even various forms of torture, all tried in secret!

Had it not been for the consideration that his unexplained death would certainly trigger Hua Mengjie’s high alert and extensive investigation, that heartless disciple would probably have long ago struck him dead, and then skillfully framed Ye Xingchen.

Now, the departed Hua Mengjie had finally returned, and that Rebellious Disciple Mu Feng also knew that he had to show himself now, so after taking poison himself, he released him.

“Good Mengjie, you’re in the palace, aren’t you?” Li Qingfeng asked again.

“Mm…” Hua Mengjie nodded. She glanced at Chen Xuan, who was standing nearby, feeling a little uneasy in her heart.

Now, she strongly identified with her current status and was no longer the proud Hua Mengjie, but rather one of Chen Xuan’s…

However, she had to answer Li Qingfeng’s question at this moment, because it was Chen Xuan’s command.

“It’s… me.” Hua Mengjie replied softly.

“Mengjie, you, you’re finally back! Where have you been all this time? Why couldn’t I find you?” Li Qingfeng asked anxiously.

Hua Mengjie felt a pang in her heart upon hearing this. She didn't know how to answer Li Qingfeng’s question. Her current predicament made it impossible to tell him the truth.

“I, woo I went to a… very far, place.” Hua Mengjie answered hesitantly.

“A very far place? What kind of place is that?” Li Qingfeng pressed.

“That is… a, hmm, a very beautiful woo… place, but… I cannot tell you.” Hua Mengjie shook her head. If she told Li Qingfeng the truth, he would be even more pained.
