The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

Chapter 203: Another Rise

As Feng Baozhao said, this was not the time to assign blame.

Today’s incident seemed like a trivial matter, but it was like the butterfly effect, capable of stirring up a storm that could topple the Feng family.

Even though the Ancestor was anxious, he could only help Feng Mingyan clean up the mess first.

Under the Ancestor’s arrangements, the high-ranking members of the Feng family secretly mobilized.

“I hope our Feng family can get through this crisis.”

In the great hall, Feng Mingyan and the others were already busy dealing with the situation.

The Ancestor sat calmly, his expression somewhat bewildered.

“Was I right in the choices I made before?”

The Ancestor muttered to himself, his thoughts already beginning to waver.

After a moment of silence, the Ancestor departed quietly.

Even if the Feng family was bound to be controlled by others from now on, at least the Alchemy Conference was still going to take place tomorrow.

“Why is it like this?”

“Master Su, is this really happening? Or are we just too tense and seeing things?”

Su Jingzhen and Xuening hid behind a large tree on the street.

Su Jingzhen and Xuening had been maintaining high vigilance for a long time.

However, the surroundings were still eerily quiet.

Maintaining this state was even more exhausting than alchemy.

Su Jingzhen’s eyebrows furrowed.

Based on his previous experiences of being attacked, the person who dared to take direct action against them must be extremely powerful.

However, it had already been almost two hours, and dawn was approaching.

If the opponent didn’t make a move soon, they might miss their chance.

“Xuening, I know you’re tired, but let’s hold on for a bit.”

“Maybe the person in the dark is waiting for us to let our guard down.”

“Let’s wait for another half an hour, and then we’ll make a plan.” Su Jingzhen said to Xuening.

Xuening nodded, trusting Su Jingzhen completely in this situation.

?Empathy points +2?

?Remaining usable points: 241?

Suddenly, a line of golden text appeared before Su Jingzhen’s eyes.

At this moment, the two of them were still holding hands, unable to see each other’s faces in the darkness.

But Xuening felt an inexplicable sense of comfort.

Outside the array…

Shen Yifeng had finished drinking a pot of wine.

Shen Yifeng glanced at the eastern horizon, where the sky seemed to be brightening.

He smiled again, his eyes crinkling at the corners.

“At this time, the Feng family should be in a panic.”

“Ha ha, five Golden Core cultivators, and that old man Feng Lie is probably jumping with rage.”

Shen Yifeng chuckled, then lightly waved his hand, and a burst of energy affected the five corpses lying at his feet.

The five corpses floated up, and he didn’t plan to linger any longer.

“Calculating the time, the Feng family should have already reacted, and that old man Feng Lie must be eager to find these corpses.”

“Daring to attack my disciple, I won’t let you have your way this time.”

Muttering to himself, Shen Yifeng jumped away, carrying the corpses with him, and left the alleyway.

In the next instant, a tile flew towards him from the direction he had departed.

In an instant, it shot into the array that had trapped Su Jingzhen and the others, shattering the array plate.

“Be careful!”

At the moment the tile came in, Su Jingzhen instantly felt the powerful gust of wind.

He subconsciously pulled Xuening into his embrace.

His body’s blood energy suddenly surged, and his right hand’s black brick was about to strike in the direction of the gust.

However, the brick naturally missed its mark.

But in the blink of an eye, the absolute silence around them disappeared.

The scattered lanterns in the alleyway began to make noise again.

“Clang!”

At the same time, the tile and array plate fragments fell to the ground.

The two of them looked at each other, reacting instantly.

“The array is broken!”

“We can’t stay here, let’s go!”

Su Jingzhen had several array plates on him, and he naturally recognized them at a glance.

He took Xuening and jumped down from the tree.

The two of them were still extremely tense, but they didn’t dare to fly using their instruments again.

They fled like ghosts through the dark alleyway, not daring to return to the Spirit Sound Inn to find Feng Qingya.

Yunmeng City was too big, and there were too many powerful cultivators; they didn’t know if there were any Golden Core cultivators still watching them.

Su Jingzhen once again felt the importance of having powerful strength.

If he had the strength of a Flesh Body Golden Embryo, he wouldn’t be in this predicament.

“It’s almost dawn, let’s hide here for a bit.”

The two of them had walked through countless alleys, but somehow, they hadn’t encountered many people along the way.

They found a dilapidated courtyard with no restrictions, and quietly snuck in.

It was indeed an abandoned courtyard.

Hiding in a broken room, leaning against a wall, they didn’t sense any aura approaching, and the two of them finally relaxed a bit.

“Master Su, you’re hurting me a bit.”

Looking at Su Jingzhen, who was still on high alert, Xuening’s expression was complex.

The hand that Su Jingzhen was holding tightly was indeed a bit painful.

Su Jingzhen was taken aback, then a apologetic smile appeared on his face, and he quickly let go of Xuening’s hand.

As a Body Cultivation practitioner, he had been holding Xuening’s hand tightly while they were fleeing, and it was unavoidable that he used too much force.

“Sorry, Xuening, are you okay?”

As Su Jingzhen spoke, his gaze was filled with concern for Xuening.

At this time, he had dropped the honorific “miss” when addressing Xuening, and his tone was more intimate.

?Emotional Connection +2?

?Remaining usable points: 243?

Xuening’s pure face flushed red.

She was currently covered in dust and dirt, but it was hard to notice.

“I’m fine, Master Su, your injuries…”

Previously, Xuening had been too anxious to notice, but now she saw that Su Jingzhen’s face was covered in wounds, and his body was in an even worse state.

These were all injuries from the Spirit Sound Inn’s collapse.

Su Jingzhen smiled slightly: “Xuening, have you forgotten that I’m a Body Cultivation practitioner? These injuries are nothing, and I’ll be fine in two days.”

This wasn’t Su Jingzhen boasting; at his level of Body Cultivation, his resistance to injury was already very strong, and his self-healing abilities were unmatched by ordinary cultivators.

As long as his foundation wasn’t damaged, these injuries were just a minor issue for him.

?Emotional Connection +2?

?Remaining usable points: 245?

Although Su Jingzhen said this, Xuening’s mind kept replaying the scenes of Su Jingzhen protecting her.

Xuening had never experienced such things before, and her thoughts were extremely simple; she only felt that Su Jingzhen had risked his life to save her.

Her eyes were slightly red.

Her emotions were in turmoil, and she once again triggered an emotional connection point.

?Emotional Connection +4?

?Remaining usable points: 249?

This time, the addition of points left Su Jingzhen stunned.

4 points!

?Emotional Connection with Xuening reaches: Slight Fondness!

Reward points:

Level bonus: 2x

Cultivation bonus: 2x?
