Chapter 676: Chapter 686 Emergency Rescue
"Little Ying, why aren’t you going in yet?" Chu Feng noticed that Han Xiaoying was still standing at the entrance of the cave, gazing at him intently. His heart, too, was irresistibly captivated by her.
"I want to watch my husband leave first!" Han Xiaoying’s eyes unmistakably revealed her reluctance to part.
After cultivating in the Seven Star Cave for some time, her mind seemed to mature even more, and her disposition became more refined.
She was colder and more heartless towards enemies, but her infatuation and utmost care for her beloved remained unchanged.
"Then I’m leaving!"
Chu Feng didn’t know why, but despite being an ancient being who had lived for thousands of years, he still couldn’t control his emotions in the face of this scene. The unexplainable sorrow welled up tears in his eyes.
He absolutely couldn’t let her see the shame of his tears.
Chu Feng hurriedly turned around and walked away.
Unbeknownst to him, in the instant he turned back, Han Xiaoying, who stood at the cave’s mouth, had already chased after him, her tears flowing down her fair cheeks like pearls off a broken string.
Sometimes, despite a myriad of reluctances, one is constrained by reality.
Out of rationality and for a better future, they could only choose temporary separation.
...
After leaving the Seven Star Cave, Chu Feng felt increasingly the importance of strength. Clenching his teeth, he flew straight to the Collection Pavilion.
Although he already held a considerable position within the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, and had even disabled the formidable rival Qin Shan.
But Chu Feng’s real enemy was not Qin Shan, it was the Panlong Heavenly Emperor.
Only by slaying this man could he truly hold his head high and no longer hide like a rat within the Ten Thousand Sword Sect and Vermilion Bird Empire.
Instead, he could do as he pleased, going wherever he wished.
He could live openly and fully enjoy family bliss with his loved ones.
Now, Chu Feng dared not get too close to Senior Brother, Chu Yun, and the others.
Chu Yun was somewhat safer.
Having dealt with Qin Shan, she would be relatively safe within Medicine Mountain No. 106 and the Outer Sect.
People like Han Sheng and Lu Kuixi, being individuals of status, were incredibly proud.
They shouldn’t resort to despicable means like Qin Shan, who wouldn’t even spare the relatives of Chu Feng. At least, that was the hope.
Moreover, their power resided in the Inner Sect, and their control over the Outer Sect was relatively weak.
Before long, Chu Feng arrived at the Collection Pavilion.
As soon as he walked in, he saw the familiar Manager who had received him several times before, standing at the entrance with a look of anxious anticipation, as if waiting for someone.
"Oh, Brother Chu Feng, you’re here! What swordsmanship or secret technique would you like to exchange for this time?" The responsible Manager, surnamed Yu, was also a person with the gift of gab.
Every time Chu Feng visited, he would be greeted with enthusiasm and personally taken care of.
Furthermore, Yu held a not insignificant position in the Collection Pavilion. Whenever Chu Feng came to select secret techniques or swordsmanship, it was Yu who personally attended to him.
"I’m thinking of applying to be an Instructor Elder!" Chu Feng was forthright, directly stating his purpose.
"Ah..." Manager Yu was taken aback by his words. "Haha, Brother Chu, you really have a sense of humor. Being an Instructor Elder is a very dangerous job, and with your talent and status, you don’t need to do such things. There are plenty of other jobs that can earn you money and merit."
Manager Yu thought Chu Feng was joking with him.
He hurriedly laughed it off, attempting to divert the conversation away.
"I’m not joking. I’m serious," said Chu Feng with a stern face.
Seeing such a reaction, Manager Yu’s smile receded, and his expression became serious. He explained, "Although Yu does have some minor authority in the Collection Pavilion, there are things that I can’t decide. Even the Hall Master can’t make a decision on this matter. To become an Instructor Elder, one must first obtain a qualification token..."
Not waiting for Manager Yu to finish speaking, Chu Feng impatiently flashed the Instructor Elder’s token.
"This, this..." Manager Yu’s eyes widened abruptly, almost popping out.
He hadn’t expected that Chu Feng had already obtained the qualification of an Instructor Elder.
"What, does Manager Yu think this is fake?"
Chu Feng wore a teasing smile, his eyebrows slightly raised.
"Of course not, I trust Brother Chu’s character. I’m just incredibly shocked that Brother Chu, at such a young age, has obtained the qualification of an Instructor Elder. Instructor Elders have always been in short supply, as those who have the capability to instruct are all big shots of the Sect, each one incredibly busy."
"Having Brother Chu join is truly a blessing for the Sect."
"Please Brother Chu first register and create a record. So that the scheduling room on the second floor of the Collection Pavilion can accurately allocate instructional tasks."
Manager Yu’s attitude towards Chu Feng became even more respectful.
Registering was not complicated—it was just a matter of entering Chu Feng’s basic personal information and then recording the Swordsmanship and Secret Skills he had mastered into the archive.
He always felt that his Swordsmanship and Secret Skills were insufficient.
After registering and recounting, Chu Feng was surprised to find that the Secret Skills and Swordsmanship he had mastered were already no less than ten kinds.
Taoist Demon Soul Splitting Skill, Asura Swordsmanship, Sky-reaching Sword Cultivation Skill, Condensing Evil Secret Technique... and so on.
"When I exterminated the Ancient Demon that left its Demon Soul inside me, I acquired a Shadow Escape Technique. This is a top-level secret technique from Ancient Times. If I donate it to the Sect, I will definitely receive a substantial Merit award."
Through comparison, Chu Feng found that the Shadow Escape Technique was many times more advanced than the other secret techniques he learned at the Ten Thousand Sword Sect.
He had no intention of donating it yet.
He would consider it when there was a need in the future.
"Brother Chu has actually learned the Transformation Sword Skill, this is truly great!"
After helping Chu Feng with the registration, Manager Yu couldn’t help but clap his hands joyfully and laugh.
"What’s the matter?"
Chu Feng was utterly puzzled.
"It’s like this, not long ago, a bigwig of the Sect chose the Transformation Sword Skill. However, there are very few Instructor Elders who have learned this Sword Skill. Elder Fu Xiao of the Outer Sect did learn this Sword Skill. Right now, he’s not here, and although we’ve sent someone to invite him, Elder Fu is currently busy with important matters and will need two hours to arrive."
"That bigwig has a rather difficult temperament, and we dare not keep her waiting too long; we’re quite anxious."
Manager Yu recounted what had happened.
Chu Feng suddenly realized why Manager Yu had been continuously peering outside the door when he first arrived, like he was waiting for someone?
It turns out he was waiting for Elder Fu Xiao to come and teach the Transformation Sword Skill.
"Well, that’s fortunate. I arrive and immediately there’s something for me to do!" Chu Feng was also very happy and decided to solve this urgent problem for the Collection Pavilion.
Immediately, he went with Manager Yu towards the second floor.
As soon as he reached the second floor, Chu Feng couldn’t help but pause, seeing a stunningly beautiful woman, proudly standing there.
Within three meters around her, no one dared to approach her.
One by one, they only dared to peek at her exceptional beauty from a distance.
"Haha, life is full of unexpected meetings. I never thought that I would come across Sister Si Huang here again!" After Chu Feng went upstairs, the cold and arrogant gaze of Si Huang immediately swept over to him.
She too was taken aback, seemingly surprised to see Chu Feng here.
