Good things don't work out, but bad things do with precision, such is life.
Fu Feng's worries, in fact, beca reality in the blink of an eye.
Qi Xiaoyu, although she didn't want to accept the help of these two strangers, felt there was sothing strange about this situation. First of all, she had never heard of the woman nad Si Tutu. Secondly, the reputation of the Fu Family, in Xiaoyu's heart... wasn't very good.
But her current state was really terrible, and if she continued like this, she feared she couldn't keep going for much longer.
On the other hand, Si Tutu either forgot or intentionally didn't tell her that Chu Mo was rushing to her location, which filled Xiaoyu's heart with even more doubts.
However, she eventually chose to trust them because the other party claid to be a descendant of the Fu Family, and their tone was very sincere, which was decently honorable. Of course, if conditions had allowed, Xiaoyu definitely wouldn't have chosen to trust them.
Now she had no choice.
When Xiaoyu arrived at the first location Fu Feng had ntioned, strong auras indeed erged from there, followed by a cold voice: "This is the Fu Family's sacred site, outsiders back off!"
Although the Fu Family's side had received instructions from Fu Feng not to act rashly earlier, this didn't an that the location of their guardians could be easily intruded by others. Although there were no secrets to speak of, it was a matter of the Fu Family's face.
Otherwise, if the word got out that the Fu Family's testing ground was nothing special, that anyone could co and go as they pleased... where would the Fu Family's face be then?
Xiaoyu replied in a clear, chilly voice, "Even a dragon lying dormant for a thousand years can still rise to the heavens!"
Hmm?" A voice mixed with surprise and doubt ca from the other side. Soon after, several figures soared into the air. One of them, surrounded by several others, was a young nobleman, apparently in his twenties, with a handso appearance and an extraordinary bearing.
"Who are you? How do you know the Fu Family's code?" An elder standing beside the young man looked at Xiaoyu, flying over with a tense face and frowned as he asked.
Seeing Xiaoyu, the young man's eyes lit up, but he didn't speak.
"Fu Feng sent here, I'm being pursued by enemies," said Xiaoyu, her voice clear and cold.
"Fu Feng?" The young man's face suddenly revealed a playful smile, his expression carrying a bit of disdain as he casually remarked, "I didn't expect the talent... from my second uncle's family to also be moved by worldly passions?"
The young man stretched out the word 'talent', his tone teasing.
Xiaoyu's expression turned frosty, and she frowned slightly but remained silent.
The elder softly said to the young man, "Just now, Young Master Fu Feng did indeed send us a ssage, saying soone would co and instructed us not to act rashly."
"Hehe..." The young man sneered dismissively: "Since when did Fu Feng have the right to ddle in the affairs of the testing grounds?"
Xiaoyu stood still, her beautiful eyebrows deeply furrowed. Now she was sowhat inclined to believe that Si Tutu and Fu Feng were Chu Mo's people, but it seed that Fu Feng's position within the Fu Family… wasn't very high. The man before her dared to openly mock him in front of others.
At that mont, the group of cultivators from Dugu Mountain was also rapidly approaching. A million miles was nothing to a group of Mahayana cultivators.
The young man looked at Xiaoyu with a hint of frivolity between his brows and said lightly, "Are you Fu Feng's woman?"
Xiaoyu's gaze turned icy: "Please show so respect."
Oh... you've got quite the temper?" The young man chuckled, then suddenly his voice turned cold: "But who do you think you are? You dare to talk to like that? Even Fu Feng would have to be respectful when he sees ! As his woman, don't you even understand these basic rules? Has Fu Feng not taught you?"
Qi Xiaoyu's eyes glinted coldly as she stared at the young man, "I have nothing to do with Fu Feng. You'd best watch your mouth!"
"Ha ha ha ha, how interesting!" The young man couldn't help but clap his hands, saying to the people around him, "Don't you all think this is quite amusing? Fu Feng's woman dares speak to like this? Heh, such manners! She tells to watch my mouth, so... I'd like to ask, if I don't, what can you do to ?"
The young man's voice turned extrely cold, "Since I was young, there has been no one... who dares to speak to , Fu Yu, like that! You... are the first!"
Qi Xiaoyu imdiately lost all interest in speaking with these people and turned to leave.
"Did I say you could leave?" Fu Yu nacingly said, "Stop her for ! Once Fu Feng cos, I will be sure to ask him well, if he can't even control his own woman... what else can he do? Still the most ambitious and calculative genius of the younger generation of the Fu Family? Pah!"
At that mont, an elder by the young man's side softly said, "Young Master Yu... this matter..."
"Heh heh, you don't need to worry; this has nothing to do with you and won't implicate you! Go, stop her for . Whatever happens, I will take responsibility!" Fu Yu said with a sneer.
The elders looked at each other, all finding the situation difficult. Although Fu Feng's status in the legitimate line of the Fu Family was indeed not that high, he was still not soone they could afford to offend. But they could even less afford to offend Fu Yu in front of them!
It had taken them great effort to secure the job of guarding the trial grounds. The perks of being in this place were more than substantial!
Thus, hesitantly, the elders made a move they would regret for the rest of their lives; they surrounded Qi Xiaoyu.
These were top cultivators from the Fu Family!
Forget that Qi Xiaoyu was currently injured, even at her peak, relying on the dark holy artifact... she was no match for this group!
Cultivators of the sa Ascension phase could still have different combat strengths.
Cultivation techniques that these Fu Family cultivators practiced from childhood were many tis superior to those at the sa level from Dugu Mountain!
Therefore, these n almost instantly stopped Qi Xiaoyu.
Qi Xiaoyu's eyes twinkled with a black light behind her veil as she coldly looked at them, "What do you want to do?"
The elder spoke in a deep voice, "Lady, I am sorry, but we have orders that we must follow. Please stay calm and wait here a while."
Qi Xiaoyu coolly responded, "What if I insist on leaving?"
"You cannot leave," another Mahayana peak cultivator from the Fu Family coldly glanced at Qi Xiaoyu. His temper was fiery, and his words were blunt, "As Young Master Fu Feng's woman, you dare not even show basic manners and disrespect Young Master Yu to his face. Even if Young Master Fu Feng ca, he would not stand on your side."
Qi Xiaoyu coldly replied, "I've said it before, I have nothing to do with Fu Feng!"
"It doesn't matter what you say," the first elder spoke, "Let's wait until Young Master Fu Feng arrives."
Just then, a group of great cultivators from Dugu Mountain arrived suddenly through the air. However, upon seeing the group of Fu Family cultivators, Dugu Yi and the other Dugu Mountain cultivators felt their scalps tingle. They were sowhat relieved to see that the woman in black was also surrounded.
Dugu Yi stepped forward and cupped his fists, "I am Dugu Yi, an elder from Dugu Mountain. I have t the seniors of the Fu Family. My juniors and I did not intend to intrude upon the Fu Family's trial grounds. We had compelling reasons and hope the esteed mbers of the Fu Family can understand."
