I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God Chapter 1342: After the Disaster

Astounding dismay.

Utter dismay!

Upon grasping the horrifying reality, the young woman was gripped by such fear that she couldn't form a full sentence!

Gazing at Yi Feng's starlit eyes, she sensed she'd met a being even more dreadful than the tales suggested. A mere look caused her entire form to quiver, her complexion draining to ghostly white!

This was beyond her wildest expectations.

The seemingly weak scholar appeared in her view as an utterly fearsome powerhouse. Without any action from him, he had utterly robbed her of all resistance. She couldn't even rise to her feet.

In this man's presence, the Martial Spirit realm amounted to mere insect.

How utterly horrifying!

This individual...

Was it possible he was a Martial Emperor?!

Chen Yuxin refused to ponder deeper; her mind started to throb intensely.

Recalling her previous deeds and the haughty remarks she'd made, endless remorse flooded her soul like a torrent.

Those starlit eyes.

She dared not meet them anymore, without bravery to even peek. She remained rigidly seated, her breath nearly stopping!

Observing the girl utterly stunned.

Calmness at last settled under the ancient locust tree. Yi Feng ignored her completely. As in their initial encounter, he kept brewing and tasting his tea, savoring the peace he deserved.

After sipping several cups of tea.

He gathered his tea utensils, rose unhurriedly, and wandered off casually.

The elegant white-robed silhouette floated away, his detached voice lingering in the air.

"The children should have arrived at the academy. I am going to teach my class now, so I will not keep you company any longer."

"After this class is over, you may leave."

The gentle, relaxed tone resonated like tolling bells at dawn and dusk.

Chen Yuxin appeared to snap alert suddenly, her inner turmoil easing a great deal. Still, she couldn't stir or speak a syllable. She felt trapped amid sky and ground, her spirit veiled in enduring remorse.

She remained rigidly positioned for quite a while, her gaze brimming with dullness.

Roughly an hour passed.

The town mayor, the aged clan leader, and their escort of guards drew near.

Noticing the young lady seated solo with a frosty look, they assumed discontent. Worried their timing was off, the pair paused briefly before steeling themselves and presenting the list with outstretched hands.

"Reporting to the young lady."

"Here is the conscription roster for our Qinghe Town. They are all able-bodied men of the right age. Please look it over, young lady."

The duo lingered in tense anticipation for moments, yet silence persisted.

They bowed their heads and shared subtle looks, tension mounting in their stares. They couldn't fathom this young lady's mood whatsoever and feared rising without leave, thus they knelt and awaited in hush.

After more moments of waiting, silence held.

Doubt crept into their expressions. Deep frustration filled their chests, bold in ire yet silent before this young lady's capricious nature.

Noting this, the guards wisely advanced, knelt, and sought instructions.

"Miss."

"That man from just now, do you need us to capture him and bring him back? Whether he is willing or not, as long as you give the order, miss, we will definitely tie him up and bring him back to Ye City!"

Having voiced these sycophantic lines, the guards held their kneeling stance in quiet. Being insiders, they grasped the young lady's intentions more keenly. Convinced their words struck true, a subtle hope gleamed in their eyes.

Yet after prolonged waiting.

Chen Yuxin showed no response.

This occasion, the guards traded puzzled looks too, thoroughly perplexed. They'd believed they knew the young lady's ways, but evidently she remained inscrutable. The young lady was indeed beyond comprehension.

The group endured in their kneeling poses. The atmosphere grew exceedingly uncomfortable. All bore faces of profound respect and refrained from further speech.

The rigidly seated Chen Yuxin grew increasingly distressed.

Her bright eyes nearly brimmed with frost.

These fools dared plot against that figure?

Wouldn't this summon catastrophe upon Ye City?!

As her anxiety peaked, a distant bell's soft chime echoed from the mountain base.

"Dong, dong..."

Instantly, vitality surged through Chen Yuxin's veins once more, pulling her back to the worldly plane!

She leaped to her feet abruptly, shock etching her features. She examined her arms and legs, her confused gaze quivering without cease.

Her abrupt motion terrified those nearby, making them hunch lower. All anticipated an outburst of fury!

The mayor and old clan chief inclined their heads deeply, unease churning within.

Unexpectedly.

Chen Yuxin offered no additional utterance. In a chilly tone, she directed the guards and departed swiftly. Before the others could follow, the column of dark-armored troops had already exited Qinghe Town.

Staring afar at the riders stirring clouds of dust in their hasty exit, the pair lingered by the entrance, faces etched with bewilderment.

The old clan chief turned in confusion and murmured.

"Mayor, why did she leave in such a hurry? Could it be that we did something wrong again and offended this young lady?"

The mayor brimmed with bewilderment too, clutching the roster tightly and questioning everything.

"I do not know either..."

"I think our etiquette was comprehensive; we should not have offended her. This young lady truly has a weird temper and is hard to serve. I do not know why, but she did not even ask for the conscription roster. It is as if this matter of joining the army has just been brushed over?"

Upon hearing this, the old clan chief squinted faintly, rubbed his chin, reflected, and remembered.

"Hmm..."

"If this old man saw correctly, when that Miss Chen entered her palanquin, a trace of panic seemed to flash in her eyes. Presumably, there might be some major event in Ye City. Aside from a major incident concerning Ye City, this old man really cannot imagine what else could make such a figure lose her composure in nervousness."

At these words, the mayor nodded approvingly, enlightenment dawning in his gaze.

"So that is how it is..."

"To my shame, I did not notice such details at all. It is still Brother Wei who is so observant. I am filled with the utmost admiration!"

The pair reflected deeply for an extended period.

As the dust from the riders faded and serenity reclaimed the town's outskirts, they at last exhaled a profound breath of ease.

"No matter what, our Qinghe Town has temporarily escaped a disaster. We were lucky this time, but who knows what will happen next time. Let us just hope that Ye City is safe, and that the commoners in the surrounding area can live and work in peace from now on!"

"This crisis seems to have passed for the time being..."
