After finishing lunch,
the group of senior and junior brothers all looked expectantly at Su Ru and Ji Changfeng.
Su Ru didn't pay any attention to these lively disciples, instead turning her gaze to Ji Changfeng beside her. Her voice was gentle as she said, "Changfeng, go get ready."
"Ling'er and I will wait for you here in half an hour."
Ji Changfeng was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.
Get ready?
Get ready for what?
A bath and change of clothes?
Er…
Alright then.
"Yes, Shiniang." Ji Changfeng bowed slightly.
Then he turned and left the Hall of Tranquility.
This scene immediately made his fellow disciples envious to the point of gritting their teeth.
They still claimed he wasn't going to Bamboo Peak to look at the girls?
Bah!
At this moment, a hint of hesitation appeared on Song Daren's face.
Suppressing the heat rising in his face, he stood up and bowed to Tian Buyi and Su Ru:
"Master, Shiniang, this disciple wants to go talk to Seventh Junior Brother…"
Tian Buyi calmly drank his tea, offering no response.
Su Ru smiled slightly and said, "Go on."
As soon as she spoke.
Song Daren immediately ran out of the Hall of Tranquility.
What could he possibly want to say to Ji Changfeng? It was nothing more than asking Ji Changfeng to pass along some flowers to a certain 'Senior Sister' from Bamboo Peak…
He had originally wanted to ask Tian Ling'er to do this before, but considering that Junior Sister Ling'er was still young and quite the clever one, she might say something inappropriate.
That would be a disaster.
But Ji Changfeng was different!
Although his age wasn't too different from Tian Ling'er's.
But...
Ji Changfeng was reliable!
And he wasn't the gossiping type.
At least, Song Daren couldn't find any faults in Ji Changfeng.
"Eh~"
"Big Brother, are you abandoning us?"
"Big Brother, come back! How will we survive without you?"
"That's right, that's right, what's so good about Bamboo Peak? Senior Brother, you can't do this…"
A group of senior and junior brothers wailed in the Hall of Tranquility.
Of course, they knew why Song Daren was looking for Ji Changfeng.
It was nothing more than wanting to use Ji Changfeng to say a few words to Wen Min, the senior sister from Bamboo Peak, and exchange some feelings…
After all, during the previous Seven Peaks Tournament.
The two of them were so full of affection…
Tian Ling'er, who was on the side, didn't know about Song Daren's glorious deeds, and she kept pestering her senior brothers, asking all sorts of questions.
But before her senior brothers could explain.
Su Ru immediately scolded, "Ling'er, come back!"
Tian Ling'er was still young.
Some things weren't suitable for her to know.
Moreover, she was a girl...
That made it even more unsuitable.
"Oh～" Tian Ling'er pouted, and she returned to Su Ru's side helplessly, watching her senior brothers with wide eyes.
But it was a pity.
With Su Ru's instructions.
The other senior and junior brothers didn't dare to speak to Tian Ling'er.
Zhang Xiaofan sat alone in the corner.
He watched enviously as his senior brothers talked, and every time he wanted to interject and say a few words, he realized he didn't know what to say...
Du Bishu noticed Zhang Xiaofan's loneliness.
He smiled softly and casually pulled Zhang Xiaofan into the conversation:
"Xiaofan, do you want to know what the senior brother went to find the seventh junior brother for?"
"For what?" Curiosity flickered in Zhang Xiaofan's eyes.
"Hehehe~"
"I don't mind telling you, unless you're willing to cook me dinner..."
Meanwhile.
Song Daren caught up to Ji Changfeng.
He said in a somewhat awkward tone, "Seventh junior brother, can I ask you for a favor?"
"Hmm? What is it? Senior brother, just say the word," Ji Changfeng smiled slightly.
He looked at the flush on Song Daren's face.
He probably understood what it was about.
"Let's talk as we walk," Song Daren said, glancing around cautiously to ensure no one was listening. Then, he subtly tugged Ji Changfeng aside and whispered, "Ahem, the thing is..."
"I participated in the last Seven Peaks Tournament, and back then..."
"I met Junior Sister Wen Min from Bamboo Peak. It's been almost sixty years since then, and I was hoping you could help me, Seventh Junior Brother, to send her my regards."
"Just say—"
"Is Junior Sister Wen Min doing well these days?"
Song Daren, a burly man, seemed rather bashful after saying those words.
If it weren't for the suddenness of the situation.
He even wanted to write a special letter.
Hearing this, Ji Changfeng's face revealed a faint smile.
"No problem."
"Senior Brother Daren, leave this matter to me."
"Good! Then I'll leave it to Seventh Junior Brother!" A hint of joy appeared on Song Daren's face.
Sure enough, finding Seventh Junior Brother was the right move.
At least Ji Changfeng didn't make fun of him after hearing about it.
If it had been other fellow disciples...
That was bound to be followed by some teasing…
But Ji Changfeng wouldn't do that.
He didn't like gossiping about others.
Everyone could see that.
Similarly, Ji Changfeng was also easy to get along with.
Even though he was a freakishly talented genius, he didn't put on any airs, and usually got along well with them…
"Seventh Junior Brother, you can take your time getting ready. I won't bother you," Song Daren said with a hearty smile.
"Alright," Ji Changfeng nodded slightly.
To say he was tidying up.
There wasn't much to tidy, actually.
At most, it was just a matter of taking a bath.
The main thing was waiting for his Shiniang, Su Ru, to finish getting ready...
Otherwise, why would it take half an hour?
Even if he, Ji Changfeng, scrubbed off a layer of skin, it wouldn't take half an hour.
So.
The one who needed to get ready wasn't Ji Changfeng.
It was Shiniang, Su Ru.
Ji Changfeng spent about ten minutes taking a simple shower, then sat cross-legged on the bed, silently entering into cultivation.
He kept track of the time, estimating that half an hour was almost up, so he got up and went to the Hall of Tranquility.
Upon arriving at the Hall of Tranquility, he saw Su Ru, holding Tian Ling'er's hand, standing not far away, smiling at him.
"Changfeng, you're here?"
Su Ru was wearing a dark green dress, her gentle face exuding a composed air. Her smooth, long hair was held back by a hairpin, a surprisingly different look…
"Aunt Su." Ji Changfeng gave a slight bow.
He was simply dressed in a white robe.
He didn't bring anything else.
"Mmhmm." Su Ru nodded gently.
Her gaze swept over Ji Changfeng, and the satisfaction in her eyes was almost palpable.
"Whoosh—"
Su Ru summoned her magic treasure, beckoning Ji Changfeng and Tian Ling'er to come forward.
"Nyah nyah nyah!"
The mischievous Tian Ling'er stuck her tongue out at Ji Changfeng, then walked ahead of the magic treasure, enjoying the gentle breeze.
Ji Changfeng didn't bother to argue with the little girl.
He calmly walked behind Su Ru, his gaze curiously fixed on his surroundings.
Flying with objects.
Actually, he could do it now, too.
It's just that he hadn't had a suitable magic treasure yet.
Thinking of this, Ji Changfeng considered whether he should take some time to go down the mountain and find some spiritual materials to refine a magic treasure!
