In a courtyard within the inner sect of the Seven Sword Sect, a handsome young man was sitting on a chair. He was wearing a blue-colored robe, had long black hair, straight shaped eyebrows. He was the top male disciple of the inner court of the Sect; Qi Yongliang. Qi Yongliang was at the late-stage of the Spirit Gathering Realm.
In front of him, two outer disciples were standing, telling the news with a panic expression.
"Are you sure about this?" Qi Yongliang said with an angry face.
"Yes, senior brother Qi, we saw them with our own eyes. Feng Yun and Yan Zilan were walking together in the White Stone City. They had gone to the Sect mission together. After coming back from the mission, Yan Zilan went to find Feng Yun two times and stayed in Feng Yun's house for a long time." One disciple said with a nervous tone.
In the inner court, everyone knew that Qi Yongliang was pursuing Yan Zilan for many years, but Yan Zilan has never accepted his proposal. Even though Yan Zilan did not accept his love, but Qi Yongliang has never given up. because of the fear of the Qi Yongliang, in the inner sect, no one tried to pursue the Yan Zilan. If someone tried to get close to her, he would have beaten Qi Yongliang.
Listening to this, Qi Yongliang's expression became ugly, he was pursuing Yan Zilan for many years. She has never even talked to him, but now she was going shopping in the market with an outer disciple. This was a humiliation matter to him.
Boom!
Qi Yongliang punched the table, broke it in pieces. Qi Yongliang was an arrogant man, how could he endure such a humiliation. His anger rushed out making two disciples from fear.
"Who is Feng Yun? Where did he come from? How can Yan Zilan be acquaintance with an outer disciple?" Qi Yongliang asked. He was cultivating in secluding, so he did not hear about the latest news of the sect.
"Senior Brother Qi, Feng Yun, is a new genius disciple of the Sect, ranked first in the sect's examination, later he also ranked first in the outer sect competition, and now, in less than six months, he broke through to the Spirit Gathering Realm and became an inner disciple." the outer disciple hurriedly said, "He also selected a candidate for the expedition team of the Secret Realm."
"Hmm" Qi Yongliang was surprised after listening to the news about Feng Yun. Then a killing intent flashed in his eyes, "I will make sure that he will not leave alive out of the Secret Realm, a lowly cultivator is trying to steal my thing, he will pay for it."
.....
Feng Yun and Yan Zilan were having great times in Feng Yun's house at this moment. Feng Yun had no idea that he was marked by a venomous snake.
The next morning, Feng Yun and Yan Zilan came to the Phoenix Treasure Pavilion.
Inside a guest room of the Phoenix Treasure Pavilion, three people were sitting and drinking tea. They were Feng Yun, Yan Zilan, and Liu Qing.
"Junior Sister, Your smile have become more beautiful than before, and your face also radiating a bright charming glow. What is the secret behind it? You should tell your sister?" Liu Qing teased Yan Zilan. She was a mature woman, in a few moments, she caught the difference in the nature of Yan Zilan. From Yan Zilan's reactions with Feng Yun she also recognized that Yan Zilan and Feng Yun's relationship has become more than friendship.
"Is junior brother Feng Yun the reason behind it?" Liu Qing said as she looked at Feng Yun, Feng Yun smiled a little, but did not say anything. He was not embarrassed because of Liu Qing.
But Yan Zilan was very embarrassed, her face became red from the shame.
"Sister Liu, how can you say that? You are spouting nonsense." Yan Zilan said as she puffed her cheeks, making her more pretty in this expression.
"You don't have to hide it from your sister, and I have already heard about Feng Yun, a new young genius of the Sect, such a young age he is already at the middle stage of the Spirit Gathering realm. He is a perfect match for you." Liu Qing said with a smile.
"Sister Liu, you are so hateful." Yan Zilan said as hugged Liu Qing and buried her head in her bosom with a blushing face. Liu Qing pat Yan Zilan's head like a big sister taking care of her little sister.
Feng Yun looked at the front scene with some emotions, he started missing her Aunt Feng Guan. In childhood, Feng Guan was also taking care of him like a big sister. He was away from the home for a few months, he had thought of returning to the family after becoming an inner disciple, but he did not get enough time to visit his town because the opening of the Secret Realm has arrived.
As Feng Yun immersed in the thoughts of his family, two girls also separated.
"Feng Yun, What happened?" Yan Zilan said when she saw that Feng Yun has lost in the thoughts.
"Oh!, nothing! I was just thinking about the home, I have decided that after the coming back from the secret realm I will visit home." Feng Yun woke up from his thoughts and said.
"Yes, I also have something to tell you that I'm leaving the White Stone City in a few days, my grandfather is fell in ill, so I have to go to my clan." Liu Qing said. She remembered her home because of Feng Yun's conversation.
"What? You are leaving the city, then when will we meet again next time?" Yan Zilan asked in surprised expression when she heard Liu Qing's talk.
"We will meet soon. You don't have to worry about it. Feng Yun takes care of little sister in the secret realm, if something happened to her then I will not forgive you." Liu Qing said.
"Sister Liu, nothing will happen to her while I am alive." Feng Yun said with an assured voice.
Knock! Knock!
At this time a door-knocking sound appeared.
"Come in." Liu Qing said.
After the door of the room opened, a servant come in with a storage pouch and gave it to Liu Qing. After reporting the calculations, he left the room and closed the door.
Liu Qing gave the storage pouch to Feng Yun.
"There are six thousand five hundred low-grade Spirit Stones inside it, and some Yang type Spirit Herbs as you requested." Liu Qing said. Feng Yun sold all unnecessary things to the Phoenix Treasure Pavilion that he got on the mountain trip.
