Su Jie was stunned.
In terms of talent and comprehension, she had never lost to anyone and was rightfully hailed as the strongest Sage.
Yet, the Great Dao before her now was something she couldnât grasp at all.
Even after repeated contemplation, she gained nothing.
Watching as passersby around her sat cross-legged in meditation, seemingly immersed in the Great Dao, she remained utterly unaffectedâas if she were inferior even to these ordinary folk.
This was impossible.
Why?
This man before her appeared utterly unremarkable in cultivation, yet he had somehow managed to resonate with Bai Piaopiaoâs Great Dao.
Her frustration and confusion grew thicker by the moment.
Unable to hold back, Su Jie took a step forward.
âAre you Yi Feng?â
Their conversation was abruptly interrupted.
The surrounding Dao resonance dissipated instantly.
The onlookers, like unwelcome lightbulbs, opened their eyes one after another, their faces filled with regret and irritation!
Such a rare opportunity to perceive the Great Daoâ
Who dared to disrupt it�!
Before their inner fury could even be voiced, they saw the Sword Saint herself striding forward. The crowd had no choice but to rise quietly, swallowing their grievances.
If she had spoken to interrupt, $2o matter how unwilling they were, they had to pretend they hadnât heard a thing.
Under countless gazes, $2u Jie walked toward Yi Feng.
After observing him for a few breaths, $2er expression remained calm, $2ut inwardly, she found it increasingly bizarre.
This manâs cultivation was utterly ordinaryâshe couldnât discern anything exceptional about him.
So whyâŠ
Why could he resonate with Bai Piaopiaoâs Great Dao?
As she studied him, $2i Feng also turned his gaze toward her.
A black ponytail, a longsword cradled in her arms, the valiant demeanor of a female swordmaster.
This womanâŠ
was clearly the domineering type.
And also a Sage�
And a terrifyingly powerful one at that!
Suddenly realizing something, Yi Feng glanced at Bai Piaopiao.
âMight I ask who this is?â
Their conversation had been cut short, $2eaving Bai Piaopiao slightly disappointed.
But hearing Yi Fengâs refined inquiry, she remembered her companion.
With a gentle smile, she introduced her.
âThis is my dear friend, Su Jie. The world knows her as the Undefeated Sword Saint.â
Huh?
Yi Fengâs eyes instantly brightened.
Undefeated Sword Saint!
Now that was an impressive title!
Just from the name alone, $2his woman was clearly no ordinary powerhouse. His life had hope again!
Yi Feng immediately perked up.
With a nod and a smile, he spoke.
âSo youâre a friend of Miss Baiâs! In that case, why not come inside for a chat?â
The moment these words left his mouth, $2he onlookers were dumbstruck!
Good heavens!
This bastard had some nerve!
Managing to cling to the White Emperor was already a stroke of insane luck.
And nowâŠ
he actually had the audacity to try cozying up to the Sword Saint too?!
The sheer audacity!
What a scoundrel!!!
Bai Piaopiao blinked in surprise, $2s if sensing something odd, but she hesitated to speak.
Su Jie, however, showed no reaction.
Her clear eyes fixed on Yi Feng, she replied calmly.
âVery well.â
This man had invited her so directly, $2s if brimming with confidence.
It was the first time sheâd seen someone so self-assured in her presence.
Su Jie grew even more curious.
Seeing the woman agree so readily, $2i Feng beamed with delight.
Ignoring the stunned expressions around himâand failing to notice Bai Piaopiaoâs momentary dazeâhe stepped aside with a welcoming gesture.
âMiss Bai, Miss Su, please.â
The two women exchanged a quiet glance, $2hen followed him inside.
The scene shattered the onlookersâ worldview into pieces!
Damn it!
This bastard actually succeeded?!
How�!
Just as everyone stood there baffled, $2i Feng suddenly paused, as if remembering something.
âLadies, please wait a moment. I left my rope over thereâlet me fetch it first!â
UhâŠ
The crowd didnât know what to think anymore.
How many lifetimes of good karma had this guy accumulated to earn a private audience with two Sages?!
If it were them, $2heyâd be over the moon, probably ready to break out the drums and trumpets in celebration!
They wouldnât dare be the slightest bit carelessâ
theyâd be polishing the path ahead for the Sages to walk on!
But this guy?
Leaving two Sages waiting at the doorâŠ
just to fetch some rope?!
What kind of priceless rope was this?!
How could it possibly compare to two Sages?!
Being stingy was one thing, $2ut this was sheer idiocy!
Such shortsightedness was truly eye-opening.
What a freak.
Daring to leave Sages cooling their heels at the doorstepâŠ
Even if the two Sages were magnanimous, such disrespect was practically suicidal.
Sages were not to be insulted!
This foolâs actions were no different from seeking death!
Hmph!
He was far too arrogantâletâs see how he dies later!
As the crowd sneered inwardly, $2ai Piaopiao waited gently, $2hile Su Jie stood with her sword, her gaze as serene as ever.
Several breaths passedâŠ
Many of the onlookers were stunned.
Two SagesâŠ
were actually this tolerant toward some nobody?!
Even displaying an almost unnatural patience!
This wasnât right, was it?!
Where was the legendary divine wrath?!
Had SagesâŠ
become this easygoing nowadays?!
The crowd was on the verge of losing their minds!
A few more breaths later, $2i Feng finally returned, wearing a satisfied smile as if heâd reclaimed a lost treasure.
Approaching with a polite bow, $2e said, âMy apologies for the wait.â
Even after being left standing for several breaths, $2ai Piaopiao showed no annoyance, replying gently,
âItâs no troubleâŠâ
Su Jie also nodded calmly, her eyes still fixed on Yi Feng.
While the two Sages remained composed, $2he onlookers were about to collapse.
Why?!
Why, damn it?!
Two Sages had waited at the door for several breathsâand not a hint of anger?!
For anyone else, $2eing left hanging like this on their first visit wouldâve sparked fury!
But hereâŠ
the two divine women werenât just unbotheredâthey seemed perfectly at ease!
In fact, $2t almost looked like they were happy to wait for this guy!
How was this possible?!
What made this utterly unremarkable man worthy of such regard from Sages?!
The crowd was utterly dumbfounded!
Everything had defied expectations.
They couldnât comprehend what theyâd just witnessed, nor the sheer absurdity of it all!
All they could do was watch, $2s that reckless man walked into the courtyard side by side with the Sages.
Hundreds of wide-eyed spectators felt their jaws hit the ground!
They scratched their heads for ages but still couldnât make sense of it.
Todayâs eventsâŠ
were utterly baffling!
But no matter how confused they were, $2he opportunity was gone. The crowd dispersed, each hurrying to meditate on the faint glimpse of the Great Dao theyâd caught.
Of course, $2here were also those with shallow cultivationâso-called âtalentsââwho hadnât perceived anything at all.
Their hearts burned with envy, $2ager to tear that scoundrel apart with their words!
The grand arrival of the White Emperor soon became the talk of the town!
In the distance, $2hen Dong came rushing over in a frenzy, pounding on the wooden gate of the small courtyard!
âYi Feng! Yi Feng!â
âThe White Emperor is here! The White Emperor has really come!!!â
