Lu Chengfeng stepped into the next room and froze slightly, instinctively slowing his pace.
He saw Luo Suyi lying sideways on the bed, the blanket kicked off halfway, barely covering her body. A faint smile graced her bright and lovely face, as if she was having a pleasant dream.
Especially with her collar slightly open at the chest, revealing a vast expanse of snowy skin, making one’s mouth dry and tongue parched, unable to resist the desire to tread the snow to find plum blossoms.
Lu Chengfeng was twenty years old this year, at the age of youthful vigor. Seeing this scene, he couldn’t help but feel restless, unable to easily suppress his emotions.
He slowly walked to the window, carefully making no sound, then gently sat sideways on the edge of the bed, staring at that face, charming both in joy and anger, unknowingly becoming a bit infatuated.
He had known Luo Suyi for eight years. She had grown from a girl into a stunning beauty, with every frown and smile exuding grace, captivating countless men.
Lu Chengfeng didn’t know when he suddenly reached out, gently brushing aside a strand of Luo Suyi’s fallen hair from her cheek, his movements slow and tender.
"Suyi is my wife now!"
This sudden realization brought him a deep inner joy and warmth. Simply sitting by the bed, watching his wife, he felt extraordinarily satisfied.
However, Luo Suyi, who had been sound asleep, had somehow quietly blushed, with her white, jade-like earlobes tinged with a layer of rosy color, as charming as a ruby.
Lu Chengfeng listened to her suddenly quickened breathing and saw the charming flush on her face, with her eyelashes trembling slightly, still pretending to be asleep. He almost couldn’t help but laugh.
It was the first time he had seen such a cute and charming side of his teacher’s wife, sparking a mischievous desire as he slowly leaned towards Luo Suyi’s ear.
The man’s heated breath neared, causing Luo Suyi’s entire body to tense up, her eyelashes fluttering even more fiercely.
"Dear wife, your chest’s collar is open!"
"Ah?!" Upon hearing this, Luo Suyi couldn’t help but cry out in surprise. Forgetting about pretending to sleep, she instinctively opened her eyes, intending to look up.
But as she lifted her head, by sheer coincidence, her tender lips instantly met Lu Chengfeng’s. The encounter of golden wind and jade dew surpassed countless encounters in the world.
That wonderful sensation immediately caused the two young people, who had never experienced anything between a man and a woman, to feel an incredibly subtle thrill, their bodies involuntarily drawing closer.
It was unknown how long had passed before the two of them slowly parted.
At the moment of parting, Luo Suyi couldn’t help but utter a soft, coquettish sigh, as if somewhat reluctant. But she quickly came to her senses, hurriedly covering her face, feeling too embarrassed to be seen.
Looking at her charming and lovely appearance, Lu Chengfeng felt nothing but joy, and his tone unconsciously softened, "Alright, rest a bit more. I’m going to the main peak to apply for the assessment and will be back soon."
Upon hearing this, Luo Suyi, disregarding her shyness, quickly parted her hands and looked at Lu Chengfeng, "Your swordsmanship has made progress?" Without waiting for Lu Chengfeng to reply, she continued, "It’s best to apply for the true inheritance assessment quickly. Only with the status of a true disciple can you have a say in the sect."
"Go quickly and don’t delay on the way, be careful and cautious, and don’t cause trouble."
Lu Chengfeng wasn’t annoyed by her detailed instructions, he just listened quietly, their gazes meeting with a serene and beautiful atmosphere.
Feeling embarrassed under his gaze, Luo Suyi unknowingly fell silent, "In any case... be careful... I’ll... I’ll wait for your return."
"Alright." Lu Chengfeng gently pressed her jade-like hand, softly saying, "Don’t worry, I’ll handle everything."
With that, he turned and walked toward the door. Once outside, he turned back to close the door properly. Through the gap, he could faintly see Luo Suyi looking up at him.
With a creaking sound, the door closed, concealing that beautiful figure, leaving Lu Chengfeng with a sudden sense of loss.
"The tender land is the grave of heroes, the ancients did not deceive me!" Lu Chengfeng couldn’t help but sigh, feeling that if they could spend their life together , it would be a blessing.
Shaking his head, Lu Chengfeng left with his sword, his eyes gradually becoming clear, "A real man should have ambitions for the world; how could he linger at a woman’s quarters?!"
"Of course, one still needs a beauty. After all, with talent, I’m pursuing cultivation, not indulging in beauty."
Lu Chengfeng muttered to himself, quickly leaving the inner courtyard. In the outer courtyard, there were two elderly maids who cooked and cleaned, helping him with some daily chores.
These maids were from poor families in Linyun Town below the mountain, doing cleaning and cooking to make ends meet. With this connection, if a talented youth emerged from the family in the future, they could have the opportunity to go up the mountain and become a disciple.
Thus, the townsfolk eagerly sought this chance, and quite a few young women wished to climb the mountain, hoping to marry a disciple from the Yuncang Sword Sect.
"The madam is still resting in the room. Prepare the meal in advance and send it to her room when she wakes up." After instructing them, Lu Chengfeng thought to himself, "Should I prepare two maids to take care of Suyi’s daily needs?"
With the thought set aside for now, Lu Chengfeng didn’t eat breakfast either and quickly left the courtyard, ready to descend the mountain.
However, as he reached the midway point of the mountain, he heard a commotion. In the distance, he saw figures moving about and faintly heard shouts and angry curses.
"You bunch of trash, get out of my way!"
"Dare to block Elder Xue’s path, courting death?"
Lu Chengfeng’s expression changed instantly. Below Zhao Changzhen at Bixiao Peak, apart from the three direct disciples, there were dozens of registered disciples who usually patrolled and protected the mountain or accompanied the master on outings.
Unlike direct disciples who inherited the master’s teachings, registered disciples were essentially more like attendants and guards. If the master was in a good mood, he might teach them some martial arts moves.
After Zhao Changzhen’s incident, most of the mountain’s registered disciples scattered, seeking other opportunities, leaving only a few behind. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ NoveIꜰire.net
Those who remained on the mountain were not necessarily loyal; most had their own agendas. Nevertheless, they were a manpower resource, needed for everyday patrols and gatekeeping.
From afar, Lu Chengfeng saw two elderly registered disciples knocked to the ground, groaning in pain.
He took a deep breath, circulated the Bixiao Heavenly Heart Method, blending his Essence, Qi, and Spirit. A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, he exerted force on his feet, and like a lone wild goose in the mountains, he quickly rushed forward.
"Stop, who dares run wild on my Bixiao Peak?"
"Trespassing on other Elder’s Peaks, attacking disciples within the sect, do you take the sect’s laws lightly?"
"Do you really think the Law Enforcement Hall’s blade is dull?"
Even before Lu Chengfeng arrived, his fiercely angry shout echoed through the mountains like thunder, reverberating in all directions.
As he got closer, he immediately saw that towering man about eight feet tall, muscular all over, entirely black as if a black iron tower, exuding a fierce beastlike aura that was both unruly and domineering, making one shiver.
This was indeed Xue Dulong, the chief disciple under Elder Xiao of Azure Dragon Peak, who practiced the family spear technique, the Thirty-Six Paths of the Black Wind Demon-Breaking Spear, and the direct heart method of Azure Dragon Peak, Azure Dragon Returning to the Sea, with over thirty years of cultivation.
Seeing Lu Chengfeng rushing down from the mountain, Xue Dulong couldn’t help but open his wide mouth, revealing chilling teeth, and said through gritted teeth, "The thief came just in time."
"Lu Chengfeng, I’m taking your life today!"
