Zhou Hongyun reveals that her daughter, You Meng, has met with Su Changfeng, sparking fears of an alliance with the Emperor. Meanwhile, the newly formed Changfeng Sect causes a stir by not seeking the Emperor's permission. At the all-female Qingluan Sect, Elder Hua Qingyao questions Su Changfeng's audacity, while Sect Master Baili Luoyuan speculates that the Emperor fears Su Changfeng's power, especially after the mysterious disappearance of the Emperor's men sent to Tianshui City, who are believed to have been killed by Su Changfeng.

Of course, Hua Qingyao naturally wouldn’t care whether it’s true or not. From the moment she got the album, she felt a good impression of the legendary Su Changfeng. The words she just said were not meant to look down on Su Changfeng, but rather were concerned that Su Changfeng might anger the Emperor and meet a tragic end.

But now, knowing that the opponent is a Primordial Master, she naturally no longer had the need to worry. Even if the Emperor really was discontent with him, he wouldn’t dare actually do anything.

As long as he steadily does his own thing and doesn’t actively go to Chenguang Hall, then no one could do anything to him.

"Alright, I’ll head back first. When Changfeng Sect opens, as neighbors, isn’t it necessary to send a gift?" After saying that, Hua Qingyao didn’t wait for Baili Luoyuan to respond and turned to leave.

In fact, Baili Luoyuan also seriously considered sending a congratulatory gift, but since Changfeng Sect is too special, she hesitated whether to have more interactions with it or not.

If they get too close, it might cause the Emperor to have opinions, which would certainly not be a good thing for Qingluan Sect.

Walking slowly to the bedside, Baili Luoyuan sat down, glanced around with a guilty expression, then slowly pulled out an album from under the pillow, which was precisely the one depicting Su Changfeng’s battle against thirty masters of the Situ Family.

"What kind of person are you, able to accomplish so many unbelievable things? All of Qingluan Sect’s disciples are talking about you." Baili Luoyuan flipped through the album in her hand, unable to help but mutter.

She had already looked through this album many times. But each time she flipped through it, she was able to sense a different shock. Although it’s just an album, she could imagine how intense the battle must have been.

At this time in Changfeng Sect.

Wang Junyi had already begun recruiting disciples, displaying a completely unreserved attitude. Many people wish they could kneel down and thank him. As for the behavior of these people, Wang Junyi felt no emotional fluctuation; he just knew that every additional child from a poor family they accepted would increase their economic burden a bit.

Actually, it’s quite normal for Wang Junyi to think this way. After all, the hierarchy on Tianyuan Continent is quite strict. He had no way to consider the thoughts of the poor firsthand, although their City Lord Mansion was previously restrained by the three big families, ultimately he was the City Lord’s son, which is fundamentally different from the truly poor.

"Alas, Master insists on recruiting so many people, all of whom are poor. Can we really afford it in the future?" Wang Junyi said to Chen Qingqing, unable to help but feel his heart ache.

"If you have any opinions, just bring them up to him directly. Complaining to me won’t do you any good." Chen Qingqing said plainly.

Wang Junyi shook his head repeatedly, thinking how he wouldn’t dare say such things in front of Su Changfeng, and could only complain privately.

"Aunt, what do you think Master is actually thinking? Other sects recruit disciples and make huge profits, but when we recruit, we don’t even know if we’ll be bankrupt later." Wang Junyi said with a frown.

Chen Qingqing naturally understood Su Changfeng’s nature. He always pursued fairness; even though the strength of one person can’t change much, within his power, he would try to achieve it. Hence, he never treated people differently based on their background.

As for money, probably because Su Changfeng never lacked it, he was not very sensitive to it and never really cared.

"If you want to make money, why not go to Tianshui City? You are a son of the City Lord Mansion, and with quite good strength. If you want to make money, aren’t there plenty of opportunities?" Chen Qingqing said.

Wang Junyi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Aunt, please don’t scare me. How could I possibly leave Master? I plan to follow him and serve him forever."

Chen Qingqing smiled helplessly; sometimes Wang Junyi seems just like those street thugs. Logically, someone of his nature enjoys a carefree life, yet he’s willing to follow Su Changfeng.

"In reality, being powerful isn’t always a good thing," Chen Qingqing said.

"Aunt, you’re wrong. You’re so powerful. Naturally, you don’t understand our pursuits. On Tianyuan Continent, power determines everything. How can being powerful not be a good thing?" Wang Junyi immediately retorted.

"The more powerful you are, the more responsibilities you bear, and the greater risks you face. Do you really not understand?" Chen Qingqing said helplessly, wanting to pry open Wang Junyi’s mind to see what he was thinking.

"With Master around, how could there be any danger?" Wang Junyi replied, a look of absolute certainty on his face.

Hearing this, the corners of Chen Qingqing’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch. This guy probably still doesn’t understand what founding Changfeng Sect means, right? Chenguang Hall likely already has them on the blacklist.

Talking to such a blockhead was really exhausting, so Chen Qingqing no longer tangled with him.

In just one day, Changfeng Sect’s disciples had already surpassed a hundred, many of whom were ordinary people who had never practiced cultivation. So, although numerous, they were no help in enhancing Changfeng Sect’s strength.

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.

Changfeng Sect had begun to take shape. Even though it wasn’t completely finished, the overall layout could be discerned.

Of course, thanks to the extensive financial support of the Situ Family, the construction workers for Changfeng Sect numbered over a thousand. The expenses were incredible, but hardly counted as investment since investment leads to returns, and the money Situ Feng invested was certainly irretrievable.

The only return for him might be danger, stemming from the Emperor’s concerns.

On this day, as Su Changfeng was enjoying the sun in his residence, Situ Feng brought over good wine.

"Mr. Su, this is a fine wine treasured by the Situ Family. I hope you’d do me the honor of tasting it." Situ Feng spoke with a smile.

In actuality, Su Changfeng had little interest in wine; no matter how good it was, it was just that to him. But since Situ Feng came over, there certainly was more to it than simple wine.

"Speak directly, no need for beating around the bush." Su Changfeng said indifferently.

"Mr. Su, to be honest, I do have a matter this time I hope you’ll help with." Seeing Su Changfeng’s forthrightness, Situ Feng too didn’t beat around the bush.

"Go ahead, let’s hear it."

"The Situ Family has a Forbidden Land, but I don’t have a solution to crack it, hence hoping Mr. Su might help take a look to see if it can be unlocked." Situ Feng said.
