A whistling arrow pierces the clouds, and ten thousand horses rush to meet it.

Red fireworks exploded in the sky. Before long, dozens of elven guards had gathered in Sindragosa Village. At this moment, all the guards were looking at a burly and exceptionally imposing general.

He wore purple leather armor, possessed an extraordinary appearance, with black hair cascading in the wind, and stood with his hands behind his back.

This general simply stood there, saying nothing, yet he involuntarily inspired a sense of dread. He was a descendant of the Stormrage Clan, a low-ranking general of the Elves, Illidan Stormrage.

"Lord Illidan, someone set off red fireworks outside the village. Should we go to their aid?" At this moment, an elven guard stepped forward and asked.

"The Stormrage Guard is assembled. It's time to move out. Depart!" Illidan nodded and gave the order.

Upon receiving the military order, the elven guards bowed, and soon they were heading towards the location of the fireworks, which was precisely where Ji Feng and his party were.

"Fat panda, Lord Illidan is coming with the guard. Now, what are you going to do? Haha..."

On the high slope outside the village, Meridale looked at the approaching figures in the distance and couldn't help but laugh.

"I need a favor from the Elves right now, so I can't conflict with Illidan for the moment. I hope Illidan can see the truth." After hearing the little girl's words, Ji Feng pondered internally.

Illidan had not yet become a Demon Hunter. He was still a member of the Elves. Before the Great Sundering, Illidan was very famous among the northern Elves. It was known that he was the disciple of the Son of the Demigod (Cenarius) and the Grand Lord (Kutarrus Ravencrest). His mentors were two great Elven figures.

In this era, Illidan was still a powerful Elven Mage.

"Brother, someone's coming, look quickly..."

While Ji Feng was thinking, Li Luo tugged at his arm and reminded him.

"Golden eyes and double pupils. It really is Illidan..."

Following the direction Li Luo pointed, Ji Feng's gaze focused on Illidan. Those golden eyes were truly outstanding; no one could overlook them. Illidan's eyes were unique. His eyes were golden, a gift from the Holy Light...

"Meridale, weren't you attacked? What happened? Why did you set off red fireworks?" Illidan arrived at the scene but directly ignored Ji Feng and Li Luo. He looked at the little girl and asked with some displeasure.

"Lord Illidan, these two pandas bullied me. I suspect they are Mogu spies who came to gather intelligence on our Elven race. Please apprehend them and bring them back to the village..." Meridale stepped forward, walked to Illidan's side, and whispered her report, giving Ji Feng a cold smile.

Hearing Meridale's words, Illidan's expression turned grim.

He looked at Ji Feng, then at Meridale, and said coldly, "Meridale, are you joking with me? They are wearing slave clothes and have been cursed by the Mogu with the Flesh Curse. How could they possibly bully you? I brought the guard here to save you, not to play games with you..."

Illidan had initially expected to encounter a fierce battle. He never imagined that Meridale had tricked him. Two weak pandas bullying an elven guard – such a thing, in his opinion, only a fool would believe.

"It's true, this guy is so powerful. He can block my assassination with just his finger, Lord Illidan. This guy is different from ordinary pandas..."

Meridale pointed at Ji Feng, saying anxiously.

"Cough... cough... I can't go on, sister. You must return to the clan safely. You must live well for me..." The moment Meridale pointed at Ji Feng, Ji Feng coughed violently. He put one arm around Li Luo's shoulder and covered his chest with the other hand, as if he were severely injured.

Before his transmigration, Ji Feng was an "actor." He studied the live-streaming techniques of other great masters every day. Acting was a basic skill, and at this moment, his performance was truly like that of a "film emperor."

In any case, Illidan and the elven guards did not realize Ji Feng was acting.

"Although Meridale is the jewel of the Sindragosa Clan, she shouldn't toy with us like this! This panda seems to have been attacked by Kun-Lai Summit Yetis. With such injuries, how could he block Meridale's attack with just his finger? Do they think we're fools?"

"Judging by their appearance, these two seem to be here to seek help from our Elven race. Pandas and Elves have always been on good terms. If we mistake them, it might cause conflict between the two races..."

"Our Sindragosa Clan has a good reputation. We cannot leave a bad impression on others. If the Royal Court finds out we bullied pandas, those arrogant and conceited fellows in the Royal Court will surely call us uncivilized..."

Seeing Ji Feng looking half-dead, the elven guards murmured amongst themselves, expressing their thoughts.

In this era, the Elves still adhered to "noble traditions." They would never intentionally bully the weak. The etiquette taught to them by the Royal Court was deeply ingrained in them.

Respect the Royal Court, protect the weak, be close to nature, and defend honor...

In this era, the civilization of the Elves indeed far surpassed that of other races. They would not do anything that would tarnish their reputation. In fact, they valued their reputation as much as their lives. They would not agree to help Meridale bully Ji Feng.

"Meridale, so your name is Meridale... Respected Meridale, I wonder where my sister and I have offended you. We just want to go home and have never thought of causing any conflict with the Elves..." Seeing that all the Elves were on his side, Ji Feng looked at Meridale and said breathlessly.

"You, you guy are too much of an actor!

You were so fearless just now, and now you're pretending to be on the verge of death. You're making me so angry, I'll teach you a lesson..." Although Ji Feng appeared half-dead, his eyes were full of mockery. In Meridale's view, Ji Feng's eyes were saying, "I just like that you can't stand me but can't do anything about it." She was truly infuriated by Ji Feng.

"Meridale, what are you doing? Do you want to bring shame upon the Sindragosa Clan? Although I am not a descendant of the Sindragosa Clan, as a member of the Elven Empire, I will not allow the reputation of the 'Twin Tigers of the Empire' to be damaged. You absolutely cannot harm these two..."

The moment Meridale moved to attack Ji Feng, Illidan grabbed Meridale's forearm. His speed was lightning-fast, his strength far surpassing Meridale's.

Red Skeleton level!

Illidan is indeed extraordinary. Fortunately, I didn't get into a conflict with him! Looking at Meridale and Illidan, Ji Feng felt a surge of fear!

Although the system did not state Illidan's specific combat power, Ji Feng could guess it was at least 600 combat power. As a disciple of Cenarius and Ravencrest, Illidan's combat power far surpassed Shanbu's. This guy was a super boss in the future.

"Lord Illidan..." Meridale exclaimed in disbelief as Illidan grabbed her arm.

"Meridale Sindragosa, I order you, as commander, to put away your weapon. You may now return to your post. I will handle the rest. Remember, the reputation of the 'Twin Tigers of the Empire' is everything..." Illidan looked at Meridale and said sternly.

The Twin Tigers of the Empire was a title, an honorary title belonging to "Sindragosa" and "Ravencrest." In the Elven language, Sindragosa meant "Scholar." They were high-ranking clans of the Elven Empire, their footprints spread throughout Azeroth. In this dark age, "Sindragosa" was a powerful clan equal in fame to the "Ravencrest" clan.

In Illidan's view, Meridale's actions today were a complete insult to her name and her noble surname.

Originally, Ji Feng just wanted to tease Meridale, that little girl. However, the situation had deviated from his expectations. After some thought, he didn't want to trouble Meridale anymore. He coughed violently, drawing Illidan's attention.

"General Illidan, I am Ji Shadowwind, and this is my sister, Li Luo Shadowwind. Several months ago, we were escorted by the Mogu to Kun-Lai Mountain South and brought to the Wandering Isle..."

"We have gone through countless hardships for only one goal: to return to the Shadowwind Clan. General, I wonder if we could take an Elven cargo ship back to our ancestral land..." As Ji Feng spoke, he coughed violently again, his appearance truly pitiful.

It was getting late, the sun was about to set, and he was getting hungry. The play today should end now...

Although Ji Feng was coughing, what he was thinking about at this moment was not returning to the clan, but eating soon. At this moment, he desperately wanted to taste Elven cuisine.

"Shadowwind Clan? I went there last month... Oh, right, I heard that a few Pandaren from the Shadowwind Clan live in our village. The leader seems to be named: Kang Shadowwind..." As Ji Feng spoke, an elven guard casually remarked.

"Kang? Could that be Third Brother?" Upon hearing this, Li Luo couldn't help but exclaim.

"You know Kang? That guy is a strange one, but he's a good person. I agree, you can enter the village..." Illidan controlled the village's intelligence system. He had met Kang once, and he remembered that the guy had said he was going to the Wandering Isle.

Encountering people returning from the Wandering Isle today, Illidan pondered, wanting to see the truth of the matter.
