"..."

Qin Feng felt embarrassed.

He couldn't be bothered to explain anymore, and told the elder, "Take care on your way. If you encounter any troubles at Broken Mountain Sect, just mention my name to your Sect Master."

"Hmph!"

Zhiyun still refused to acknowledge him. "You think just because you inherited the Ghost Immortal Order, our Sect Master will give you face? Don't forget, the man behind our Sect Master is unmatched and unparalleled in the world! With your arrogant attitude, the moment you meet the person behind our Sect Master, you'll definitely feel utterly ashamed and too embarrassed to show your face!"

Qin Feng was speechless. Seeing that she still wasn't convinced, he suggested, "How about we make another bet?"

"What bet?" asked Zhiyun.

"If I meet the person behind your Sect Master and don't feel ashamed, you have to warm my bed and quilt at night, with a wedding candle, and I get to choose the positions, how's that?" Qin Feng proposed.

"Vulgar!"

Zhiyun pouted and replied, "Fine, we'll bet. I'll make you understand that there are people beyond you in this world, and that there are heavens beyond our heaven. When you see the person behind our Sect Master, you'll understand. He's someone who didn't even need to show his face to help Broken Mountain Sect take over the seventy-two branches. You're far behind him!"

"Hehe."

Qin Feng grinned and said, "Sorry to burst your bubble, but the person behind Broken Mountain Sect you're talking about is me."

"You?!"

Zhiyun, along with the elder and others, widened their eyes in shock.

"Yes, it's me." Qin Feng said with a proud smile, "See? You've lost again. So, do you want to fulfill our bet tonight, and have a nice wedding night?"

"Hmph!"

Zhiyun immediately turned away, saying, "Pretending again! You say it's you, and we're supposed to believe that?"

The elder and the other disciples shook their heads and sighed.

Qin Feng was at a loss.

They didn't believe him, either?

"Do I not seem unmatched and unparalleled in the world?" Qin Feng said with a shrug.

"You look like a hooligan!"

Zhiyun retorted.

The crowd couldn't help but burst into laughter upon hearing this.

But it wasn't mockery.

It was the kind of playful jesting among friends.

Qin Feng felt helpless and eventually concluded, "Alright then! Someday you will understand."

"Still boasting!"

Zhiyun rolled her eyes at him.

After saying goodbye to each other, everyone went their separate ways.

Qin Feng went with Phoenix and Yiyi.

The members of Ao Shi Hall left with White Tiger.

Qin Feng healed White Tiger with the Dragon Emperor's Blood and even gave it a strand of Immortal Energy to make it stronger, naturally not willing to let it go off alone.

But White Tiger was too big, and it would be inconvenient to take back to Lake City.

In the end, Qin Feng asked it to follow Zhiyun back to Qinling.

After all, Broken Mountain Sect was his, so it would help stabilize it first.

At that moment.

Zhiyun rode White Tiger, gradually distancing herself from Qin Feng and the rest.

As she reached a turning point in the forest up ahead, she suddenly stopped and looked back at Qin Feng.

"Is there anything else?" Qin Feng called out.

"No."

Zhiyun shook her head, then hesitated before saying to him, "Actually, you're not bad, if you weren't acting like a hooligan, showing off, and bragging!"

After saying that.

She quickly turned and rode off on White Tiger, as though embarrassed.

"..."

Qin Feng watched her disappearing figure and was left speechless. My Virtual Library Empire (*)

He turned to Phoenix and asked, "Am I a hooligan? Do I show off? Do I brag?"

"Yeah."

Phoenix nodded.

"..."

Qin Feng sighed dejectedly. "Alas, others laugh at my madness, I laugh at their inability to see through... Let's go!"

The three of them also headed out of North Country Forest Mountain.

As the sun set, they finally reached the boundary of North Country Forest Mountain.

Looking back.

The white snow of North Country Forest Mountain was covered in a layer of orange-red color, deeply beautiful and enchanting...

At that time.

Phoenix suddenly remembered something, stopped in her tracks, and said to Qin Feng, "Wait, that's not right!"

"What's wrong?" Qin Feng asked.

"What do you think is wrong?" Phoenix furrowed her brow, "We've been so focused on finding the Ghost Immortal Cave that we've forgotten about our own mission!"

"Mission?"

Qin Feng blinked in confusion.

"You really forgot! We came here not just to track down the photographer disguised as a Fifth Grade Grandmaster!" Phoenix said, frustrated.

Not wanting to think about it.

At that moment, her special communication phone with the Tiger Shark Team rang, having left the border area.

After answering,

headquarters told her that they had found the body of their target through the Potion injected into his body. This meant he had been assassinated at some unknown time, and the mission was temporarily over.

Phoenix was stunned.

She looked up at Qin Feng and said, "He's dead, not far from where we were touring, not in the North Country Forest Mountain!"

"Uh, what's the problem?" Qin Feng asked.

"What do you think the problem is? Weren't you the one tracking him, saying that he ran off to the North Country Forest Mountain?" Phoenix said.

"Uh... I might have had a momentary lapse."

Qin Feng casually made up an excuse.

Deep down, he was also surprised; he didn't expect the tracking Potion from the Tiger Shark Team to be so effective. When he had crossed hands with Li Liangsheng, he had only unlocked his cultivation seal for a brief moment and was already located.

At this moment, Phoenix was feeling helpless.

She asked the other side, "So, are there any other missions I need to do now?"

"No more." the other party said.

"No more? That can't be right! Aren't all the special forces teams, Tiger Shark or Dragon Group, etc., all very busy right now?" Phoenix said skeptically.

"The Old General's intent is for you to stick with Qin Feng for now," the other party said.

"Stick with him?!"

Phoenix was utterly bewildered.

She tried to ask the reason but couldn't get a clear explanation.

Later, she also called General Shi but couldn't get through at all.

In the end, Phoenix had no choice but to say to Qin Feng resignedly, "Let's go! Old General asked me to follow you for now."

"Really?!"

At this moment, Qin Feng blinked in astonishment and said, "Could it be that General Shi... really meant what he said?"

"What did he say?" Phoenix inquired.

"Didn't I tell you on the train earlier? Because of the incident with Huang Dao in East Sea, he tricked me. I asked him for compensation, and he said he'd make it up to me later by giving you to me." Qin Feng said, eyeing up and down Phoenix's figure and muttering, "Not bad, quite pleasing to the eye..."

"..."

Seeing this, Phoenix's eye twitched.

There was nothing she could do.

General Shi had given his orders; for now, she could only follow Qin Feng.

The three continued their way back.

...

Back in Lake City.

It was already late at night the next day.

After continuous travel, Qin Feng and the others were very tired.

In the middle of the night,

Qin Feng could only first take Phoenix and Yiyi to the Wanfu Building to settle down.

There was no helping it.

Although he missed his wife, going back home in the middle of the night would be too disturbing for her.

They checked into a presidential suite.

Phoenix and Yiyi, coming from the cold icy and snowy outdoors to a place with heating, were unbearably hot.

They immediately took off their jackets.

But it was still too hot.

Eventually, both only had on a small tank top.

Qin Feng, watching from the side, was entranced.

It must be said.

Phoenix was quite a sight.

Wearing just a tank top, she was truly too sexy.

And then there was Yiyi.

Only thirteen or fourteen years old, but of the type that if she had kids, she wouldn't need to buy formula to feed a bunch of them.
