Chapter 621: Because I Want to Protect You!

"How could this happen?"

Anger surged within Zhao Wuji. From the moment he first laid eyes on Mu Qianxue, he was astounded by her beauty and vowed to possess her.

Over the past six months in the Heisha Region, he had tried countless ways to win her favor, yet Mu Qianxue never even spared him more than a word.

But now, this guy!

Zhao Wuji clenched his fists tightly while gritting his teeth. "You little bastard, a mere mystical-tier student, daring to intrude into the sky-tier students' area? What should be your punishment?"

Zhao Wuji was clearly picking a fight. While Tianwei Academy had strict rules, as long as no restricted zones were breached, they weren't so stringent about student activity areas.

Therefore, the only thing Zhao Wuji could do was cause a little bit of trouble or make things less comfortable for Ling Feng.

"Kid, I think it's time to let the Student Disciplinary Hall handle this!"

Zhao Wuji glared venomously at Ling Feng.

If I can't have Mu Qianxue, what makes Ling Feng think he can?

Slap!

Before Zhao Wuji could finish speaking, Ling Feng casually threw a token, which landed hard on Zhao Wuji's face.

"I go where I want. Who are you to interfere?" Ling Feng didn't even bother to look at Zhao Wuji as he spoke coldly.

"You!"

Zhao Wuji's face burned from the impact of the token. When he picked it up and looked at it, he was shocked to see it was a vice-director’s token that Ling Feng got from Yan Cangtian!

Zhao Wuji's mouth twitched as he gritted his teeth, wanting to say something more.

But then...

Slap!

Another token smacked him in the face!

It was from the East Court Sword Team!

"You!"

Slap! Another token followed, this time from the Alchemist Guild, marking Ling Feng as an honorary vice-president!

"You!!!"

And yet another token marking him as a Divine Imperial Physician!

...

A series of tokens rained down, making Zhao Wuji's face swell. He trembled as he clutched the tokens, almost spitting blood from frustration.

What kind of freak is this guy?

With all of these identities combined, even the powerful family behind Zhao Wuji wouldn't dare touch a hair on Ling Feng's head.

Zhao Wuji didn't dare say another word. Gritting his teeth, he returned the tokens to Ling Feng and, unable to bear the humiliation, slinked away through the crowd.

From that day on, Zhao Wuji would develop a phobia towards Ling Feng. Whenever he saw Ling Feng, he would likely avoid him at all costs.

Mu Qianxue's beautiful eyes flickered. She hadn't expected that in just six months, Mr. Ling had become so formidable. It was not just in strength, but in status too!

While others might not have seen clearly from a distance, she had recognized each of those tokens.

"Big Brother Ling, you're still as amazing as ever," Mu Qianxue said with a sweet smile.

"

Haha,

I’m

just average!"

After putting away the tokens, Ling Feng held the little black cat, Ye Yi, in his arms and smiled, "But you've really changed from before."

"No." Mu Qianxue shook her head. "Qianxue will always be the same as before, and I will never forget Big Brother Ling's kindness."

"It was nothing, really," Ling Feng replied with a carefree smile.

"It may be nothing to you, but Qianxue will remember it for life."

In her heart, she had already decided that the man before her was the one who treated her best.

"

Hehe...

" Ling Feng scratched the back of his head, unsure of what to say. So, he changed the subject, saying, "Oh right, I haven't introduced you yet."

He pointed to Li Bufan, who was standing beside him, and smiled. "This is my teammate from the East Court Sword Team, Li Bufan."

"Mr. Li," Mu Qianxue bowed slightly to Li Bufan.

Out of affection for Ling Feng, she naturally extended the same courtesy to his friends.

"Miss Mu," Li Bufan nodded slightly. Although he was somewhat taken aback by Mu Qianxue's stunning beauty, as a martial arts fanatic, beautiful women didn't hold the same importance to him as the sword in his hand.

"And this one is Tuoba Yan, my maid," Ling Feng added, pointing towards Tuoba Yan who had been standing in the distance, seemingly uninterested in what had just happened.

This woman truly took coldness to a new level. She was a true embodiment of an ice queen!

"A maid?"

Following Ling Feng's gesture, everyone now realized that Tuoba Yan was with him.

Even Ye Weiyang, who had remained expressionless and indifferent next toMu Qianxue, couldn't help but show a hint of amazement.

In terms of appearance, it was difficult to say who was more beautiful between Mu Qianxue and Tuoba Yan, but in terms of demeanor, Mu Qianxue's coldness didn't even come close to matching one-tenth of Tuoba Yan's icy aura.

At least Mu Qianxue still showed a trace of warmth when facing Ling Feng, while Tuoba Yan radiated an innate, bone-deep chill.

Seeing all eyes on her, Tuoba Yan reluctantly stepped forward and coldly addressed Ling Feng, "Young Master."

Li Bufan raised an eyebrow slightly. He sensed a similar aura from Tuoba Yan as his own, but even he had to concede to her frosty arrogance.

"To possess such pure Tiance power, yet serve as Mr. Ling's maid? Interesting."

Ye Weiyang smiled faintly, speaking for the first time.

"

Hmm?

" Ling Feng and Tuoba Yan's eyes both narrowed as they looked directly at Ye Weiyang.

Being able to recognize Tuoba Yan's identity with just one glance, this Ye Weiyang is definitely not someone ordinary.

"Allow me to introduce myself. I am Ye Weiyang."

The mysterious man in the red robe didn't appear as aloof as he seemed, and instead, he smiled kindly.

"Brother Ye," Ling Feng cupped his hands in a fist-and-palm salute, addressing him.

"No, Ye isn't my surname," Ye Weiyang shook his head with a gentle smile. "I am just Night[1] Weiyang. If you don't mind, you can call me Weiyang."

No surname? Perhaps he is concealing it?

Ling Feng rubbed his nose, finding this red-robed youth even more mysterious.

"Brother Weiyang," Ling Feng greeted again, and then asked, "How did you recognize Yan'er's background?"

"I don't have many skills, but my eyesight is decent," Ye Weiyang laughed lightly. "Since Miss Mu has reunited with her old friends, I won't intrude any longer. Enjoy catching up, everyone. I'll take my leave."

After finishing, Ye Weiyang flicked his robe and turned to leave, but not before giving Ling Feng a meaningful smile.

Ling Feng narrowed his eyes, unable to discern this man's background or intentions. He couldn't help but ask Mu Qianxue, "Miss Mu, are you familiar with Ye Weiyang?"

"Not too familiar," Mu Qianxue slightly shook her head. "We once fought to a draw, and since then, he's always appeared around me. But he's different from Zhao Wuji."

"

Heh,

" Ling Feng chuckled lightly, "Forget it. Miss Mu, I never expected you to have become so powerful!"

"

Mhmm.

" Mu Qianxue nodded, biting her lip as she softly said, "Because I want to protect you!"

"Protect me?

Haha... Ahahaha...

"

Ling Feng felt his face flush as he scratched the back of his head, not knowing how to respond.

"Just like how you protected me back then," Mu Qianxue bit her lip and said gently.
