To avoid drawing attention, Elder Bei placed Lin Feng in the forest at the back of the outer disciples' living area.
Lifting his feet, Lin Feng immediately headed towards Han Man's residence. He didn't even look back as he passed his own room.
"Lin Feng."
At that moment, a voice called out. Lin Feng turned around and saw that the door to his room was wide open, and someone was leaning against the doorframe.
This scene made Lin Feng's pupils constrict slightly. Each disciple's room was a private place, and he never expected someone to brazenly enter his residence and loiter in his room. What if there were secrets in his room?
"Do you not know that the sect has rules against entering someone else's room without permission?" Lin Feng's tone was slightly cold. In his memory, this person was Hou Qing, ranked tenth among the outer disciples and also an outer sect enforcer. It was because of this identity that Lin Feng recognized him, and he also knew Lin Feng.
In Yunhai Sect, Mo Canglan, as the grand elder, held a high status and was responsible for law enforcement. Under him were the sect's law enforcers, who were spread throughout Yunhai Sect, including core enforcers, inner sect enforcers, and outer sect enforcers. Hou Qing was one of the outer sect enforcers.
Hou Qing usually relied on his strong strength and the identity of an outer sect enforcer to bully outer disciples. Lin Feng never expected this guy to go so far as to enter his room without permission, breaking the law he was supposed to enforce.
"Of course, I know. But for someone like you, a waste of space, these rules don't apply." Hou Qing's expression was lazy, and he didn't even give Lin Feng a proper look. In his mind, he looked down on Lin Feng, a mere Fifth Stage Qi Warrior 'waste of space.'
"Also, come with me now." Hou Qing added.
"No time." Lin Feng lifted his feet. Han Man was still severely injured and waiting for his pills. As for Hou Qing... he would remember this.
"Hmm?" Hou Qing was taken aback when Lin Feng ignored him, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. His figure instantly disappeared from the spot.
A domineering whirlwind blew, and a figure appeared in front of Lin Feng—it was Hou Qing.
Hou Qing was very satisfied with his movement technique, especially when he saw Lin Feng frown. He thought to himself, "A waste of space is a waste of space, never seen the world."
"The grand elder wants to see you, and you won't go?" Hou Qing looked at Lin Feng mockingly, as if waiting for him to make a fool of himself.
"The grand elder wants to see me?" Lin Feng was somewhat surprised. Could it be because of the Zhonggu Cliff incident? No, Elder Kong told him not to spread the news, and Elder Bei wouldn't either. Even if other elders knew, they wouldn't send Hou Qing to call him, and the timing was off.
However, since it was a grand elder, Lin Feng had no reason to refuse.
"Wait a moment, I'll be right back." Lin Feng walked past Hou Qing, who was taken aback again. This guy dared to ask him to wait after hearing that a grand elder wanted to see him. Truly, he didn't know when to die. But thinking about Lin Feng's impending fate, Hou Qing didn't mind waiting a bit longer.
Lin Feng quickly arrived at Han Man's room. Without a word, he took out three pills and fed them to Han Man, then waited by his side.
"Lin Feng, did you really go to the Tianqian Cliff?" Jing Yun looked at Lin Feng with doubt.
Lin Feng nodded. He didn't want to lie to Jing Yun, but he also remembered Elder Kong's words and didn't say anything.
However, Jing Yun's heart trembled slightly. The way she looked at Lin Feng was filled with unusual admiration. This guy went to the Tianqian Cliff and came back with pills, likely passing the Tianqian Cliff's test.
Han Man felt a stream of clarity flowing through his body. His eyes opened, and he looked at Lin Feng without saying a word of gratitude. A warm current flowed through his heart and body.
"Lin Feng." In just a few days, these two words had been etched deep into Han Man's heart.
This guy could kill Jing Feng and take the consequences, share the hard-earned beast cores with them, fight for his friends by killing Jiang Huai and Jing Hao, and even go to the Tianqian Cliff alone to save him.
In no time, Han Man felt his body rapidly recovering. The pain in his chest bones disappeared, leaving only a tingling sensation, as if broken bones were regenerating.
Jing Yun also noticed the change in Han Man. The bruises on his face quickly returned to a healthy color, making her open her mouth in surprise, thinking about the powerful effects of the pills.
"Indeed, they are potent herbs." Lin Feng naturally saw the change in Han Man and smiled with relief.
"Han Man, recover slowly. I have something else to handle, so I won't stay here with you."
Lin Feng said this, then took out the pill bottle, poured three pills into his hand, and handed them to Jing Yun. "Jing Yun, help take care of him. If his injuries aren't fully healed, continue giving him these pills."
"Okay, Lin Feng, don't worry." Jing Yun took the pills from Lin Feng and responded. Then, Lin Feng left.
At Fengyun Gorge, the Life and Death Platform, Lin Feng followed Hou Qing, looking at the countless sect disciples gathered around, wondering what had happened to draw so many people.
Also, which elder wanted to see him, and for what reason?
"Lord Sect Master, Elder Mo, I have brought Lin Feng." Hou Qing led Lin Feng to the Life and Death Platform and respectfully addressed the people on the platform.
This was Sect Master Nangong Ling and Grand Elder Mo Canglan!
Lin Feng's pupils constricted slightly. He never expected the person who wanted to see him to be such an important figure. His gaze swept across the area, and he saw Chu Zhanpeng and Lin Qian beside him. Lin Qian was looking at him with a cold smile.
"Why is she here?"
"Lin Feng, do you know your crimes?" A cold pressure descended on Lin Feng, and Mo Xie's dark eyes questioned him.
"Elder, I don't understand." Lin Feng's heart turned cold. Mo Xie, as an inner sect elder, was incredibly powerful. Even his ordinary pressure made Lin Feng uncomfortable.
"Don't understand? As a disciple, you don't know respect, you injured your brothers, insulted your elders, and are a disgrace and a failure to Yunhai Sect, tarnishing our reputation." Mo Xie confirmed Lin Feng's crimes. After all, it was he who agreed to hand Lin Feng over to Chu Zhanpeng for punishment. He thought no one would care about an outer disciple, but the arrival of Young Master Da Peng had even alarmed the Sect Master.
To cover up his act of handing over a sect disciple to an outsider, he had to blacken Lin Feng's name and expel him from Yunhai Sect.
"Disgrace, failure, tarnishing Yunhai Sect's reputation?" Lin Feng's eyes narrowed slightly. He glanced at Lin Qian and vaguely understood some things, but he didn't understand why Mo Xie, as an elder of Yunhai Sect, would side with an outsider like Lin Qian. Although he, Lin Feng, was an unknown outer disciple, he was still a member of Yunhai Sect.
"Why are you silent? Are you guilty?" Mo Xie saw Lin Feng's silence and said coldly.
"Elder, you have already determined my crimes as soon as I arrived. As an outer disciple, I am insignificant. Even if I were handed over to others, it wouldn't matter. Would speaking do any good?" Lin Feng said calmly, his words laced with sarcasm.
"Ridiculous." Mo Xie shouted, not expecting Lin Feng's words to be so sharp. His calm tone hid a barb, hinting that the elder looked down on outer disciples and made false accusations.
"As an elder of Yunhai Sect, I act fairly. You, a beast, not only refuse to repent but now dare to defy an elder. Lin Feng, do you know your crimes?"
"You say I am guilty because I am silent and guilty because I speak. I dare to ask the elder, what fairness do you uphold, and for whom do you act?" Lin Feng's eyes flashed with cold light, and he shouted fiercely, each word piercing the heart.
As soon as he arrived, Mo Xie had determined his crimes, calling him a disrespectful failure and then insulting him as a beast. Lin Feng understood that the other party was clearly targeting him. Whether he appeased or resisted, he would be considered guilty. Since that was the case, why should he endure humiliation in silence?
Facing the crowd of Yunhai Sect, Lin Feng looked straight at Mo Xie without hesitation.
