Previously, he had mentioned that Jiang Feng's outstanding performance in the first group had attracted the attention of the black-clothed man who was watching the competition from outside the arena. Furthermore, from Wang Yi Xin's mouth, he found out that this black-clothed man was the son of his enemy, the Young Hall Master of Death School.

Jiang Feng recalled the letter just now and took it out from his chest pocket. He slowly opened it and saw a few lines of elegant handwriting. It read: Paying respect to Young Master Jiang. Congratulations to Young Master Jiang for successfully entering the top eight. Today, I hope to meet Young Master Jiang at the Wind and Rain Pavilion on the outskirts of the city. Jiang Feng put down the letter and said, "Haha, it seems that there is someone more well-informed than you." Wang Yi Xin purposely widened his eyes and said, "Ah? It can't be? I'd like to see who it is. " He picked up the letter and read it quickly. After reading it, he shouted: "Wow, good boy Jiang Feng, not only did you get the attention of Wan Tianba, but you even got involved with Prime Minister Liu's daughter. You are in a happy and sad situation." Jiang Feng asked with a puzzled expression, "What answer?" Wang Yi Xin said, "As far as I know, the Deathland Sect's Young Hall Master, Wan Tianba, is interested in the Liu family's daughter, and as for you, right now, you have an inexplicable relationship with the Liu family's daughter, so sooner or later he'll come looking for trouble with you. This is what I meant by sad." Jiang Feng slammed his hand on the table and said angrily, "What nonsense are you spouting? Who wants to become Prime Minister Liu's son-in-law?" Wang Yi Xin was startled and said, "This … many people dream about this. Why are you still …" Jiang Feng grunted and calmed down. "Be careful when you speak from now on." How could Wang Yixin know that Liu Shichen was Jiang Feng's enemy? How could Jiang Feng fall in love with his daughter? How could he even marry her? However, emotions like these were not something that one could control. Wang Yi Xin felt embarrassed and said, "Alright, alright, alright. I won't go so far. Are you going or not?" Jiang Feng thought: That Liu Bing Bing knows my whereabouts like the back of her hand, but she may not have discovered my identity. Even if this is a tiger cave, I will still take the risk. After making up his mind, he said: "Go, of course we have to go. Where is the Wind and Rain Pavilion?" Wang Yi Xin smiled and said, "Heh heh, you've asked the right person. If you go out of the south city gate and walk about ten miles to the right, you will see a pavilion. That is the Wind and Rain Pavilion." Jiang Feng knew the approximate location and nodded his head. "Good. There is still some time before we leave. I think I should rest for a while. What about you?" Wang Yi Xin scratched his head and said, "You rest first. You take care of yourself. In the afternoon, I'll continue to go to the arena to watch the competition, and I'll bet on who wins and loses." Jiang Feng knew that the 'bet' he was talking about referred to a private gambling house set up outside the venue for those who could enter the top eight. He asked curiously, "Then, did you win the bet this morning?" Wang Yi Xin opened the window and flew out, leaving behind a sentence, "Xu Yuan won the bet, but you lost again. Ai." Jiang Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head before lying down to rest.

Not long after, Jiang Feng woke up with the Frost Iron Spear in hand. He went to the horse shed behind the inn and brought his white horse over. This horse hadn't run for more than ten days and had already gained some weight. He led his white horse out of the south city gate (riding was not allowed in the city) and arrived outside the city. Jiang Feng jumped on his horse and galloped straight towards the Wind and Rain Pavilion.

Before arriving at the pavilion, Jiang Feng had already heard the melodious sound of a zither from afar, and a trace of desolation could be vaguely seen in the sound of the zither. Jiang Feng reined in the white horse and saw Liu Bing Bing in purple playing the zither in the pavilion. Liu Bing Bing heard the sound of a horse and looked up to see that Jiang Feng had arrived. She stopped playing. She stood up with a smile and said gently, "Young Master Jiang, please take a seat in the pavilion." Jiang Feng dismounted and looked around to see if there was anyone lying in ambush. When he discovered that nothing abnormal had happened, he tied the white horse to the pillar of the pavilion, walked into the pavilion, and sat down by the side. Jiang Feng asked, "I wonder, why did Miss Liu invite me here today?" Liu Bing Bing said: "Don't worry Young Master, listen to me play a song first." Jiang Feng had no choice but to agree.

At first, Jiang Feng was a little impatient, but as he listened to Liu Bing Bing's melody, he was gradually drawn in. When he looked at her otherworldly appearance, his mind unconsciously drifted away. Just as Jiang Feng was closing his eyes and listening to the music, the sound of the zither suddenly stopped. Jiang Feng slightly lowered his head and withdrew his mind. Liu Bing Bing frowned and knocked on the stone table: "I'm not playing anymore. It's so annoying." Jiang Feng didn't know why she suddenly became in a bad mood, so he asked, "Miss Liu, although I don't understand the rhythm of the music, I can still hear a hint of desolation from the music." Could it be that the young lady has something unpleasant in her heart? " Liu Bing Bing sighed again and said: "Young Master guessed right, but I have something to be unhappy about." Jiang Feng responded with an "oh" and said, "I wonder if Miss will be able to share your thoughts with me, so that I can share Miss's worries." After hesitating for a while, she said: "Sir Jiang is really warm-hearted. I've invited you here to congratulate you on entering the top eight, but now I need you to comfort me. I really don't know what to say." Jiang Feng said, "Hur hur, there's no harm in it. Lady, please go ahead." Liu Bing Bing slowly said: "Ai, Young Master Jiang, my dad wants me to marry someone, but I don't like him." Jiang Feng said, "Oh?" Your father forced you to agree to this marriage? " Liu Bing Bing replied: "Not really, but I can see that Dad is in love with me, and I don't want to go against Dad's intentions. But I know that I really don't like that person, and I don't know how to explain it to him, so I sneaked out this time." When Jiang Feng heard this, he couldn't help but sympathize with Liu Bing Bing. She could understand her father's thoughts, but she didn't want him to be with someone she didn't like. No wonder she was so upset and sad. However, Jiang Feng was also clear that she was the daughter of his enemy, so he indifferently said, "So that's how it is. This is my personal matter, so you don't have to tell me." Liu Bing Bing became sad and said: "Besides my brother, I don't have many friends around me. I used to tell him things, but I knew he was busy when he went out to do some work, so I didn't want to bother him anymore." Young Master Jiang, last time at the teahouse, didn't you agree to be my friend? " Jiang Feng could see the sadness and sincerity in her eyes, but he also secretly noted that Liu Bing Bing had an older brother, which meant Liu Shi Chen had a son. Jiang Feng said, "Yes, that's right!" But Miss Liu, since you see me as your friend, you should tell me your true identity. " When Liu Bing Bing heard this, she became a little nervous and said: "I …" Didn't I tell you before that my name is Liu Bing Bing? How did you forget so quickly?

Jiang Feng saw that she was trying to avoid the topic, so he tried to clarify the point himself: "Miss Liu, do you know that I do not have that intention? I mean, how do you know so much about my every move? Moreover, your clothes are gorgeous and you have an air of elegance. You are definitely not the daughter of an ordinary person. " Liu Bing Bing was stopped by Jiang Feng and couldn't say anything for a long time. Jiang Feng waited for her to speak. After a long while, Liu Bing Bing slowly said, "Young Master Jiang's guess is correct. I'm not from a normal family, but the current Prime Minister Liu's daughter." Although Jiang Feng already knew her identity, he still purposefully revealed a shocked expression and said, "Miss …." It's Prime Minister Liu's daughter? " Liu Bing Bing saw his expression and said: "Young Master Jiang won't treat me as a friend just because I'm the Prime Minister's daughter?" There was a desolate look in her eyes, and her words contained the pain of having no true friends. Jiang Feng couldn't help but feel pity for her. He believed that even though Liu Shichen had killed his family viciously, his daughter was kind and not bad. At this moment, Lei Jin's words before Jiang Feng descended the mountain appeared in his mind: One knows the face but one does not know the heart. Jiang Feng then thought that if she said these words on purpose to reveal his identity, then it would be terrible. Everything would be better left to heart. Liu Bing Bing said: "Why aren't you talking?" Are you sure you don't think of me as a friend anymore? " Jiang Feng hurriedly said, "Lady Ji is the Prime Minister's daughter, how could I dare?" Liu Bing Bing's expression suddenly changed. She said coldly: "If you think of me as a friend because of my dad's identity, I'd rather break off all ties with you." Jiang Feng hurriedly said, "Miss Liu has misunderstood me. Your father is your father, and you are you. Even if I didn't know your father was the Prime Minister, you were still my friend." Liu Bing Bing was very happy when she heard this. She smiled: "Good!" Jiang Feng was a bit shy as he slightly lowered his head and said, "It's nothing. You've been living in the compound all day, so of course you can't make friends. I can understand why you're feeling this way …"

What about later?

And then we'll see how it breaks down in the next round.
