Chapter 225: Guesses in the Heart
After just two glances, Su Jingzhen withdrew his gaze.
The four of them walked quietly to the edge of Wind Bell Square.
Then, Feng Qingya directly took out her purple silk ribbon.
With a flick of her wrist, she enlarged it and carried Su Jingzhen and Xuening directly towards the lower city district.
Mu Lao, as usual, rode his sword, leisurely following behind them to provide protection.
On Wind Bell Island, many people were seeing them off.
The leaders of various factions gazed at them with flashing eyes, each harboring their own thoughts.
As soon as it was confirmed that Xuening and Su Jingzhen had refined a superior-grade Breaking Through Adversity Pill, the news had spread throughout Yunmeng City’s various factions.
Each faction had long been prepared.
This kind of genius alchemist, no matter which force, wanted to fight for it.At this time, a black-clothed old man stood quietly not far from the statue of the Goddess of Yunmeng.
It was Shen Yifeng of the Evil Moon Sect.
“This brat, when he came, I told him that we in the demonic sect should be arrogant. But this kid has always been cautious, which has caused me a lot of trouble.”
In Shen Yifeng’s view, the Evil Moon Sect was fearless on the land of Qingzhou.
Su Jingzhen could have directly revealed his identity as the Chief Acolyte of the Evil Moon Sect’s Lingjiang Branch.
This would have made the factions in Yunmeng City give up their thoughts of poaching him.
He was confident that, with the Evil Moon Sect’s reputation, no one would dare to secretly target Su Jingzhen.
After all, they were notorious for their vengeful nature.
No single faction, whether it was the Lingxiu Pavilion, Spirit Sound Valley, or the Treasure Gathering Pavilion’s families, was something he, the Evil Moon Sect, feared!
Only these factions would worry about the Evil Moon Sect taking revenge against them.
As he fantasized, Shen Yifeng laughed again, “However, this brat is really something. If he had revealed his ability to refine superior-grade pills in the Evil Moon Sect, I wouldn’t have let him participate in this crappy Alchemist Conference.”
…
Feng Qingya brought Su Jingzhen and Xuening down from Wind Bell Island, but didn’t dare to fly for too long in the lower city district of Yunmeng City.
After landing on a certain street, she led the two to the temporary residence arranged by Spirit Sound Valley.
After the Spirit Sound Inn exploded last night, Spirit Sound Valley had arranged a rather spacious residence for Feng Qingya and her companions.
Although the location wasn’t in the central area of the lower city district, Feng Qingya had been allocated a separate, independent courtyard.
Inside the room, Feng Qingya directly activated the array’s restrictive spells.
To prevent their movements from being detected by others.
Then, Feng Qingya’s gaze became extremely intense, staring at Su Jingzhen as if she wanted to devour him whole, without avoiding Mu Lao and Xuening who were standing beside him.
It was as if she really wanted to swallow Su Jingzhen whole.
Su Jingzhen’s heart skipped a beat, feeling a sense of unease.

“Master Su, you really are full of surprises, Qingya didn’t expect that you also have the ability to refine superior-grade Breaking Through Adversity Pills on your own, and even made Qingya worry for half a day on stage.”
Feng Qingya still had that natural, flirtatious tone, speaking as if she was still resentful.
However, Su Jingzhen was now a Flesh Body Golden Embryo, and Feng Qingya’s cultivation, although not bad, was only at the Foundation Establishment level.
Without intentionally using her charm, Su Jingzhen had long been accustomed to her seductive ways.
“Such a high-profile display wasn’t what I actually wanted.”
“After all, the Spirit Sound Inn was blown up, and our little courtyard might be even more dangerous.”
“We still have to stay here for a night, and although one night is very short, it’s enough for many things to happen.”
Su Jingzhen’s words were quite serious.
However, Feng Qingya’s smile on her face didn’t change.
“Hehe…last night, they couldn’t kill you at the Spirit Sound Inn, Master Su, do you think anyone would dare to continue tonight?”
“Our little courtyard is probably already being watched by countless eyes.”
She paused for a moment before continuing, “And if I’m not mistaken, it’s likely that messengers from various factions will come to meet with us soon.”
“You two have performed too outstandingly today.”
“I and the Feng family have this kind of relationship now.”
“Each faction will definitely try their best to win you over.”
Feng Qingya was very clear about the potential value of Su Jingzhen and Xuening.
As long as a faction had enough power, they would dare to offend the Feng family to get them!
As soon as Feng Qingya finished speaking, Mu Lao’s aura began to rise.
“Last time, our rooms were too scattered, and my ability was limited.”
“This time, I will never let the thieves take advantage of it again.”
When he said this, Mu Lao had a hint of killing intent.
He actually felt some self-blame for last night’s events.
Su Jingzhen smiled and said, “Last night’s incident was sudden, and no one expected it.”
“Fortunately, everyone is safe and sound.”
But when he brought up this topic, Su Jingzhen’s heart had a hint of doubt.
He suddenly thought of how he and Xuening had narrowly escaped danger last night, and it seemed a bit suspicious.
“Master Su, what’s wrong?”
Feng Qingya saw the expression on Su Jingzhen’s face and was also a little confused.
Su Jingzhen didn’t hide anything, telling Feng Qingya and Mu Lao about the events of last night.
After all, in Yunmeng City, Feng Qingya and Mu Lao needed to know about all sorts of situations.
After listening, Feng Qingya and Mu Lao exchanged a glance, and then fell into deep thought.
Not long after, Feng Qingya’s smile reappeared at the corner of her mouth.
“Hehe, since it’s like this, then we don’t need to worry about our safety anymore today.”
When she said this, Feng Qingya’s gaze towards Su Jingzhen seemed to shine with a few more sparks.
Su Jingzhen, however, looked a bit dazed: “Miss Feng, what do you mean?”
Feng Qingya didn’t play dumb: “Chief Acolyte Su, you should think carefully about your current identity.”
“Do you really think that you can just follow me out, and Sect Master Luo will really not care?”
At this time, her way of addressing Su Jingzhen had changed, and Su Jingzhen couldn’t react quickly enough.
“Miss Feng, are you saying… Did the Evil Moon Sect take action?”
He was indeed surprised in his heart.
He had also guessed that Luo Yuebai would definitely send cultivators to follow them.
But subconsciously, he thought that Luo Yuebai would at most send one or two Golden Core cultivators.
But to be able to easily protect them in last night’s situation, it would likely require a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Thinking of this, Su Jingzhen’s heart suddenly flashed with Shen Yifeng’s image.
Had his master, Shen Yifeng, personally come?
While Su Jingzhen was thinking this, Mu Lao’s aura suddenly became more intense.
He looked out the window, his gaze piercing.
“Miss Feng, I am Mu Qingwan, and I have something to discuss with you.”
A clear and beautiful voice came from outside, and Feng Qingya’s eyebrows suddenly furrowed.
