Chapter 54: The Night in The Wilderness!

“Peeping tom?” Ling Feng's brow furrowed and he snorted. "Jiang Wanqing, you better get things straight. I have zero interest in you. Is it necessary for me to peep at you?"

Indeed, Jiang Wanqing did have some charm, but Ling Feng had only unintentionally glanced at her. Moreover, he had saved her life!

"You!" Jiang Wanqing's face flushed with anger. In her heart, she cursed silently, “

This damned Ling Feng. Not only did he peep at me, but he also acts so brazen about it. There's truly no one more shameless than him in this world!

”

"You hide here, doing such obscene and despicable things, yet you act so brazen about it. I-I must teach you a good lesson!" Jiang Wanqing felt like her lungs were about to explode from anger.

"First, take a look at your feet." Ling Feng shook his head, turned around, and walked away. He could not be bothered to deal with this troublesome woman.

"Don't walk away. Explain yourself!"

Jiang Wanqing, infuriated, stomped her feet. When she looked down, her face turned pale with a sudden shock.

Sure enough, right at her feet, a small, dark brown snake with a length resembling chopsticks lay decapitated.

The incision on the snake's body was as smooth as a mirror, while its head had turned into a pool of blood.

It was only then that she realized the faint sound of breaking wind she had just heard was evidently Ling Feng using sword qi to kill the small snake.

She recognized this snake, the extremely venomous Five-Step Golden Ring Snake. If an ordinary person were bitten, they would meet their demise within five steps. Even for a martial artist like her in the Pulse Formation Realm, without timely treatment, a bite could result in a crippled leg.

"This..." Jiang Wanqing clenched her fists in realization. It turned out that Ling Feng had actually saved her, and she had misunderstood him for peeping at her.

A storm of shock surged in Jiang Wanqing's heart. Clenching her teeth, she unleashed her body techniques and flew towards the direction of the mountain cave.

In no time, Jiang Wanqing returned to the mountain cave. Immediately, she asked a disciple on night duty, "Where's Ling Feng? Has he returned?"

The disciple on night duty paused for a moment, then shook his head hastily, saying, "No, Senior Uncle Ling Feng saw that you hadn't come back for a while, so he went to look for you. He hasn't returned yet."

"He..." Jiang Wanqing's heart skipped a beat, "He went to look for me?"

"What's wrong, Senior Sister Jiang?"

"Nothing, it's nothing," Jiang Wanqing was a bit absent-minded as she walked into the cave. Various chaotic thoughts swirled in her mind. “

Why did he come out to find me? Does he care about me?

”

If Ling Feng knew that Jiang Wanqing's thoughts were so elaborate, he would surely be at a loss between laughter and tears.

He had clearly just used it as an excuse to leave, but it led to such a misunderstanding...

...

Ling Feng was sitting cross-legged on a rock not far from the cave, activating his Human Dao Eye to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The time of fifty breaths to cultivate at a speed hundred times faster than normal could not be wasted.

After circulating his true qi through the eighty-one meridians in his body, he didn't linger outside any longer and returned to the cave.

"Senior Uncle Ling Feng, you're back! Senior Sister Jiang was just looking for you!" The disciple on night duty exclaimed upon seeing Ling Feng.

"Jiang Wanqing was looking for me? What does she want?"

Ling Feng shrugged, thinking to himself, “

Women are troublesome. If I had known, I would have let that venomous snake bite her. With my medical skills, I could easily treat the snake poison, and I wouldn't be wrongly accused of being a shameless peeping tom.

”

"I don't know." The disciple on night duty shook his head. "Senior Sister is inside. You can ask her to find out."

At that moment, Jiang Wanqing happened to step out of the cave to see if Ling Feng had returned. When she saw him, her eyes lit up. However, mindful of the presence of others, she immediately restrained her expression and gritted her teeth, saying, "You... come with me."

Ling Feng rolled his eyes and could only follow behind her.

Finally, Jiang Wanqing stopped on a small hill and turned around. Gathering her courage, she said to Ling Feng, "Just now... I'm sorry. I wrongly accused you. Thank you for saving me."

Ling Feng raised an eyebrow and replied casually, "Just for this? No need to thank me. I would have intervened for anyone in a similar situation."

Jiang Wanqing's pretty face blushed slightly, and she asked, "W-What did you see just now?"

After saying this, Jiang Wanqing felt like her heart was about to leap out of her chest.

"I didn't see anything." Ling Feng shook his head. "If there's nothing else, I'll go back."

He turned and walked away, showing no intention to continue entangling with Jiang Wanqing.

"You! You!" Jiang Wanqing stamped her little boot, almost going mad with anger. "Big jerk! Can't you be a bit more hospitable? You didn't even give me a proper look!"

A woman's mind is so peculiar. If you look, you're shameless and a pervert. If you don't look, she feels unfair!

...

After Ling Feng returned to the cave, Jiang Wanqing came back angry. As she walked past Ling Feng, she let out a dissatisfied

hmph

, then sat on the other side of the cave, turned her head away, and refused to even glance at Ling Feng.

This scene, seen by others, was quite intriguing.

This Ling Feng and Jiang Wanqing went in and out several times. What exactly happened between them? It was truly intriguing!

However, they didn't dare to gossip in front of Ling Feng and the others. They could only speculate in their hearts that the relationship between them was probably not simple!

Indeed, Senior Brother Ling Feng is impressive. In such a short time, he made Jiang Wanqing, that proud swan, lower her head!

Impressive!

This was the sentiment in the hearts of the male disciples.

Of course, there were also female disciples secretly sighing. "

Ah, why didn't Senior Brother Ling Feng notice me?

"

That night seemed unusually long.

Suddenly, the alarm bell placed near the cave emitted a crisp

ding-ling

sound.

Swoosh!

First, the disciple on night duty stood up abruptly, and then everyone else inside the cave also woke up in alarm.

Ling Feng also opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the sound.

"It's okay, it's okay. Just a wild rabbit accidentally jumped onto the line."

The disciple on night duty quickly relayed the message, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

After the blood battle during the day, these guys finally became vigilant. However, they were a bit too cautious sometimes.

As the saying went, "Once bitten by a snake, one becomes afraid of a well rope for ten years." That's probably the idea.

Finally, as the night progressed, those disciples who had been meditating in a sitting posture couldn't withstand the fatigue any longer and started to snore heavily.

The disciple on night duty also felt extremely tired, with eyelids drooping.

Ling Feng walked to the entrance of the cave, patted the shoulder of the disciple on night duty, and said, "Alright, you go get some rest. I'll keep watch."

"

Ah?

Senior Uncle Ling Feng!" The disciple on night duty, upon seeing Ling Feng, became a bit more alert. He quickly rubbed his eyes and said, "How can that be? I can keep watch."

"Go to sleep. Everyone worked hard during the day!"

Without saying a word, Ling Feng pushed the disciple on night duty into the cave, and he sat alone at the entrance, keeping a vigilant watch over the surroundings.

The team members, witnessing this scene, suddenly realized that Senior Brother Ling Feng, rumored to be unflinching in killing, didn't seem entirely devoid of compassion.

Any other squad leader from different teams probably wouldn't personally take on the duty of watching over the night like him.
