The first encounter between Yu Chi Feng and Feng Ting Liu was on the battlefield.
After hearing about his reputation, Yu Chi Feng found it difficult to associate the handsome man in front of him with the rumored "Living Devil King". When he witnessed Feng Ting Liu's swordsmanship, he became even more skeptical of the rumors in the martial arts world.
Feng Ting Liu's swordplay was clean and crisp. Even though it carried a murderous intent and a sense of hostility, he still had an otherworldly grace.
The two briefly joined forces to eliminate the cult. They even entrusted their backs to each other, despite never having met before.
Thetacit agreement fighting on the battlefield made Yu Chi Feng's blood boil rapidly, and his sword moved faster and more swiftly than ever before. Amidst the flashes of swords and the shadows of blades, the unfamiliar back reflected on the sword's edge fascinated him.
After dealing with the cult members, the two returned to the village to clean up the aftermath.
Yu Chi Feng deliberately wanted to get to know Feng Ting Liu, so they traveled together. Just as the two were chatting, Yu Chi Feng's sharp ears picked up the cries of a child. He hurriedly went forward and pulled the little girl hiding behind the haystack into his arms, gently comforting her.
Yu Chi Feng noticed Feng Ting Liu's gaze and helplessly nodded at him with an apologetic smile.
The little girl cried pitifully, perhaps having witnessed her parents being killed by the cult members and not daring to make a sound. Now, it was as if she was releasing all her emotions like a landslide.
Yu Chi Feng patted the little girl's back and murmured, "Be good, we're saved. No one will come to bully you anymore."
Yu Chi Feng had been a chivalrous hero for many years and had seen many poor children like this little girl. Whenever he encountered such children, he would always think of his own background and his parents who wanted to protect him.
Perhaps this little girl was also protected by her parents and hidden in the haystack to escape the disaster.
He wanted to do something for these children, just as his master did.
While comforting her, Yu Chi Feng thought about whether to find a good family for the little girl or keep her in the Beilong Hall. When he heard the little girl's cries gradually subside, leaving only hiccups, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Yu Chi Feng turned around, only to find that Feng Ting Liu was nowhere to be seen.
"Hall Master." He Qi came forward and reported, "We have gathered the surviving villagers. There are a total of ninety-seven people. Next, we need to help repair the houses."
"The ninety-eighth person." Yu Chi Feng handed the little girl in his arms to him. "See if there are any villagers who know the little girl. Find a reliable one. I will provide the money to have them help raise her."
"Yes." He Qi nodded in agreement. "Also..."
"Hmm?"
"The person just now is from Liudu City. Should this matter be informed..."
"No need." Yu Chi Feng raised his hand to interrupt He Qi's words. "Today's events do not need to be mentioned to anyone."
"But... Liudu City has always been colluding with the cult. Now that they have actually helped us, I wonder what their intentions are!" He Qi frowned, not hiding hisdisgust for Liudu City.
"I only believe what I see with my own eyes." Yu Chi Feng's tone suddenly became serious, and he did not change his impression of Feng Ting Liu because of He Qi's words. He turned his head and looked at the place where Feng Ting Liu had just stood, feeling a sense of emptiness in his heart.
"Well... But we still need to be vigilant of Liudu City's actions." He Qi shrugged and left with the little girl in his arms.
Only then did Yu Chi FengRetract his gaze and continue to arrange the work. He left some of the Beilong Hall members to assist the villagers in repairing the village. The remaining Beilong Hall members, who were all injured, were led by Yu Chi Feng back to Beiji City.
After settling them down, Yu Chi Feng washed off the dust and dirt, wore a bamboo hat to cover his appearance, and walked onto the streets of Beiji City.
He never exposed his appearance in the city, so everyone only knew that there was a chivalrous Beilong Hall Master in Beiji City, but no one knew Yu Chi Feng.
He walked through the bustling streets of the entire Beiji City, not aimlessly. He stopped at various tea houses and restaurants to observe. Finally, he found his target in the most secluded corner of a tavern.
There was still blood on Feng Ting Liu's clothes, but histemperament remained unchanged. He sat in the corner drinking tea, and the blood became a beautiful flower decorating the beauty.
Yu Chi Feng pressed down the bamboo hat to hide the slightly curved corner of his mouth and walked forward with strides.
Hewithout hesitation sat opposite Feng Ting Liu. Almost instantly, he felt the sudden murderous intent around him. He naturally knew that the people around were all from Liudu City. His move was undoubtedly like entering a tiger's den alone, but he didn't care. He only cared about Feng Ting Liu's movement of drawing his sword.
"Lord Feng, it's me." Yu Chi Feng lifted his bamboo hat, revealing a sincere smile, anddeliberately lowered his posture, looking up at Feng Ting Liu.
Yu Chi Feng thought that if his subordinates saw him like this, he might lose his dignity.
But Feng Ting Liu seemed to be quite pleased with this and sheathed his long sword.
Yu Chi Feng was even more certain that his search was correct. His deep eyes carried a persistent light.
"Let's get to know each other again. I'm Yu Chi Feng."
As soon as Yu Chi Feng said this, he saw Feng Ting Liu pauseObviously. He seemed to have mastered the key to communicate with Feng Ting Liu, constantly showing his sincerity and gradually making Feng Ting Liu lower his guard.
"No one knows the real name of the Beilong Hall Master. Now that you have told it to me, is there any special meaning?" Feng Ting Liu said, and quietly waved his hand. The other people from Liudu City around lowered their heads and went about their own business.
However, Yu Chi Feng could still feel their vigilant gazesInvestment himself from time to time.
"There can be countless Beilong Hall Masters. If I die, there will be a successor. As long as one can protect Beiji City, one can become the Beilong Hall Master. There is nothing unique. But the one who wants to get to know you is Yu Chi Feng." Yu Chi Feng took off his bamboo hat and spoke in a softer voice.
Yu Chi Feng's face was indeed quite handsome and upright. Even though one could tell he had an exotic bloodline, he still gave a sense of stability and reliability. Perhaps because of this, thealert in Feng Ting Liu's gaze towards him lessened somewhat.
"Oh? Do you mean you are special?" Feng Ting Liu chuckled and raised an eyebrow at him.
When Yu Chi Feng saw the change in his expression, he was excited that he had made the beauty smile, and his own smile grew wider: "If I can be someone special in Lord Feng's heart, Yu Chi Feng feels deeply honored."
"Ha." Feng Ting Liu's mouth curved slightly. Surprisingly, he did not seem toDislike this statement. He lifted his teacup and took a sip of tea, then asked, "How did you know I was here?"
"Liudu City is to the north of Beiji City. If Lord Feng wants to lead his people back, he must pass through here and might stop here to rest. It seems that my guess is not wrong."
"So, you looked in every store?" Feng Ting Liu was also somewhat surprised and looked up.
Yu Chi Feng's expression remained unchanged as he nodded in affirmation.
Only then did Feng Ting Liu change his expression. He looked at Yu Chi Feng hesitantly and asked, "What if I wasn't in Beiji City? What would you do then?"
"If not today, then there will be a day when you come." Yu Chi Feng leaned slightly forward. He was not wrong. If he was unlucky and did not find Feng Ting Liu, he would still wait in Beiji City for the day when they would meet again.
But Yu Chi Feng's luck was obviously extremely good. Not only did he find Feng Ting Liu, but he also successfully started a conversation.
Feng Ting Liu stared into his eyes for a long while, put the teacup back on the table, leaned back against the chair, crossed his arms, and lifted his chin:
"So, why did you come to find me?"
"I feel a deep sense of regret for not having more time with Lord Feng, yet you left without a word. That's all."
Upon hearing this, Feng Ting Liu showed an expression of "Is that it?".
"I didn't know the Beilong Hall Master was so idle. Could it be that the people in the Exorcism League are a bunch of idlers?" Feng Ting Liu sneered.
"Lord Feng has misunderstood me. I clearly arranged for the repair work in the village and settled the injured comrades before rushing here to find you." Yu Chi Feng was not angry because of Feng Ting Liu's words. But for some reason, when he said this, his tone carried a hint ofWronged.
Feng Ting Liu glanced at his expression and said coldly:
"You know that I am the Lord of Liudu City and we are on opposite sides. Why do you still come to approach me?"
Yu Chi Feng looked into those crimson eyes and could tell that there was no real hatred or murderous intent. On the contrary, he could feel Feng Ting Liu's curiosity about him and that he did not resist his approach.
But for some reason, Feng Ting Liu was now repeatedly saying distant words.
Like a kitten on the roadside that doesn't want to be touched.
"Although we are not on the same path, our goals are the same. Why can't we cooperate?" Yu Chi Feng's words were sincere, extending an olive branch to Liudu City.
"Heh." Feng Ting Liu's voice suddenly became cold, and a terrifying pressure emanated from his red eyes. "I have no interest in your so-called righteous sects."
Yu Chi Feng paused but was unwilling to give up.
He remembered what He Qi had said to him and was even more certain that Feng Ting Liu and Liudu City did not match the rumors.
But those rumors had a great influence, and he did not want Feng Ting Liu to be affected by them.
He thought that if Feng Ting Liu could return to the righteous path, it would not only add strength to the righteous side but also solve the reputation problem of Liudu City. But he couldn't understand why Liudu City, which was also fighting against the cult, was unwilling to join hands with the Exorcism League?
Yu Chi Feng smiled at Feng Ting Liu. "It's not asking Liudu City to cooperate with the Exorcism League, but to stand on the same side as me and the Beilong Hall. Isn't that okay either?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Ting Liu suddenly slapped the table and stood up. His cold red eyes looked down at Yu Chi Feng with anger, making one's back feel a chill.
"Boring." Feng Ting Liu's tone was cold, and his eyes became vigilant again.
Feng Ting Liu gave Yu Chi Feng a cold glance, then turned and left the tavern, leaving only a vague figure.
The people from Liudu City around looked at each other, quickly finished the leftovers in their bowls, then dropped their chopsticks and followed Feng Ting Liu.
Yu Chi Feng was stunned in place, looking at Feng Ting Liu's figure, unable to recover for a long time.
A young man from Liudu City saw his stunned appearance and came over, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Oh, I really don't understand you righteous sects. Don't get involved in Liudu City's affairs. Otherwise, you'll get into trouble and how will you be able toMixed in the martial arts world?"
Yu Chi Feng remained in that position, not responding to the young man's words.
The young man couldn't help but tut and said: "Tsk, don't be sad. Our city lord is moody. It's already good that he didn't kill you."
After saying that, the young man trotted away from the tavern, leaving Yu Chi Feng alone.
Yu Chi Feng was not as the young man said, sad and heartbroken because of Feng Ting Liu's cold attitude.
On the contrary, when he met Feng Ting Liu's cold and domineering gaze, he was actually moved and excited.
When he looked up at the high and mighty beauty, he actually wanted to kneel at his feet, and his body even subconsciously had a reaction...
Yu Chi Feng came to his senses belatedly, his neck and ears burning red. He covered his face with one hand and sighed in regret, trying to calm his body down quickly.
He had been looking too intently, lost in those red eyes, and had forgotten to chase after him andEntanglement some more...
