?Mobile reading Su Wu and Zhou Mu Si returned to their room full of enthusiasm, neither of them noticing that someone had been missing. Eight-zero e-book Zhou Xiaoniu waved her fists excitedly, saying, "It was absolutely thrilling! That guy was knocked out like a first-class paraplegic—his body has hardly any intact bones left!" "Yes," Su Wu, inspired by Zhou Xiaoniu, also sounded enthusiastic, "even though cultivators don't mind broken bones or strained muscles, recovering from such injuries isn't easy. Moreover, his meridians are severely damaged, so he'll need a long time to heal." Zhou Xiaoniu agreed, "You're still too kind, Wu Wu. In my opinion, we should have completely shattered his Dantian instead—otherwise, he'll just keep turning against us later on!" Su Wu's expression tightened as she defended herself, "We can't create too many enemies for our villainous husband. If we do, he'll never have time to spend with us—he'll be too busy!" Although Zhou Musi wasn't entirely convinced, she had to admit that what was said made sense. Hoo-hoo... Two figures soared in, Qin Feng and Isabella, their fight equally impressive. The five cultivators at the Jie Mi stage were thoroughly defeated. With Qin's confidence, he had no doubt that he wouldn't see those five again within the next two years, as they'd be busy recovering. "Brother-in-law's husband is back! I also fought someone outside just now with Wudu, it was really satisfying," she jumped up, hugging Qin Feng's neck. "Hmm, really?" Qin gently supported her firm rear end, casually asking, "Where's Qingzi? I didn't see her!" Zhou, the little girl, blinked in surprise, "We arrived and didn't see Qingzi either—did she go to the restroom?" Isabella said solemnly, "The room was only occupied by us." "What? Qin Feng grew tense, his eyes fixed on the vase resting on the windowsill—originally placed on the coffee table. "When did you all leave, and how long have you been out?" he asked. Su Wu quickly replied, "We left a few minutes after you and Sister Shasha departed, and just returned—only about a minute earlier than you!" Isabella made no停留, leapt out of the window once again. Qin Feng set down the frightened Zhou Muzhi, and said firmly, "Stay right here. Don't go anywhere!" Then he too jumped out of the window. Zhou Muzhi and Su Wu exchanged a glance, and cautiously asked, "Have we made a mess?" Su Wu shook her head with a wry smile, responding, "Qingzi must have been kidnapped. We've both been caught in a classic 'diversion' strategy—unfortunately, they've executed it twice. We were simply too careless!" "Zhou Xiaoniu folded her hands and began praying: 'Please protect Qingzi sister—don't let anything happen to her, or else we won't be able to face off with Brother Laojiang!' With so many injured, the most severely affected one had nearly blown out his Dan Tian, now lying on the ground gasping for breath. Another one didn't forget to find a way to save face. At that moment, a loud, self-assured voice rang out from behind the crowd: "Ladies and gentlemen, you've all returned—have you come back victorious?" He opened the burlap sack with an unhappy expression and said, "Facts speak louder than arguments. Sometimes, sheer strength doesn't matter much—what truly counts is intelligence. Do you understand?" Pointing to his own head, he continued, "To secure this young woman, I've truly poured my heart and soul into it. Finally, fate has rewarded me, and I've succeeded. So, I'd like to claim this as a personal achievement. Earlier, we agreed that whoever contributed the most would receive greater benefits—does that still hold true?" Several of the top-ranking warriors felt their hearts bleeding. We've given our all and still failed, while you, with just a bit of thinking, managed to succeed—how can that be just? Nevertheless, no matter what, everyone's confidence immediately returned to full strength, and they began discussing in turn how to pressure Qin Feng into compliance. In the end, they unanimously agreed that Ma Yinghong should take the lead and directly engage Qin Feng, while the others would remain in reserve, ready to act according to the situation. Ma Yinghong's face turned green. You're sending me to die, aren't you? Am I born a fool or just clumsy when it comes to doing things? "Absolutely not. We absolutely need a top-tier master sent out. With my current level, how could I possibly hold my ground against Qin Feng?" He certainly wasn't going to accept it passively. A Tian-Viewing-period master smiled calmly and said, "Negotiations aren't about rank or level. Once we have hostages, if Qin Feng dares to take any bold action, we'll eliminate them—how could he possibly defy your orders?" "Exactly," added another master, "he'll hand over the master scroll to you. You'll be the very first to see it. Isn't that the perfect demonstration of who contributes more and who benefits more?" "Master Ma, you're our leader—how can anyone else step up when you don't?" Ma Yinghong simply couldn't think of anything more to say and had no choice but to nod and agree. Since Laozi is the one negotiating with Qin Feng, he can't possibly take on the messenger role as well, can he? Who among you will be the messenger? The one you mentioned just now—well, you were particularly vocal earlier. For such an important task, of course, we're assigning it to you. While being left in the lurch, you also manage to have someone else fall behind. The selected Kuitian-period master, now, is utterly devastated—after all, everyone else agreed unanimously. Indeed, upon his return, he was thoroughly beaten, reportedly by a combined effort of Qin Feng and Isabella in a mixed-gender doubles match.
