The Gathering of Important Figures

That evening, the Mysterious Bookstore closed.

As the flow of people began to expand, the news of Chang Kong's Transcendent to Saint spread rapidly.

"Elder Chang Kong of the Sword Sect has transcended the mortal realm Transcendent to Saint..."

"Zhang Yunji's father-in-law, Chang Kong, has entered the Spirit Saint realm..."

Breaking news! The Epic-grade- quality books from the Mysterious Bookstore can actually make people Transcendent to Saint...

Such messages slowly spread to Dubian Town, the Yuanfang City, the Qin State border, the Chu Kingdom capital...

Early the next morning, people began to float around overhead in Dubian Town.

The leader of the Sword Sect arrived with his eight elders...

Zhou Wuji, the mayor of Dubian Town who had been missing for six months, went to work early this morning...

Prince Chu Huaixiang of the Chu Kingdom has also returned...

His elder brother, the Fourth Prince Chu Liuxiang, also arrived...

The Xiaoyao Zizai patriarch of the War Emperor Clan has also arrived...

The city lord of the Yuanfang City, Shenwen Kong, has also arrived...

Various sects, Hermit from the mountains and wilderness, and princes from other countries have all infiltrated Dubian Town.

Overnight, important figures from Dubian Town gathered.

As a result, the once bustling Dubian Town suddenly became much quieter. Some of the powerful and Spirit Venerable figures who used to walk the streets were now keeping a low profile, afraid that they might be killed by some unknown Spirit Emperor Spirit Saint.

Ma Feifei got up a little late today, and by the time he walked out of the Bookstore, it was already full of people.

Yes! It was packed with people!

The luxurious single chaise lounge was wrapped in the fur of various unknown mythical beasts, and the Grand Tutor Chair was made of top-grade nanmu wood that had been used for who knows how many years, with countless exquisite patterns hand-carved on it.

At the very least, it's a stool made from the teeth of a fifth-tier Ivory Dragon Beast...

Let's take a look at today's audience.

Well, my first impression is that there are far fewer people here. Since everyone is sitting, the space is more spacious than yesterday. Those who were standing have been pushed to a place more than 200 meters away. I don't know where that gambling table is, but knowing Yun Qingyang's nature, he must have put it away.

Looking around, Ma Feifei noticed that there seemed to be even more onlookers today, but they all stood there obediently, not daring to take a single step closer.

As for the audience members sitting in these luxurious chairs, Ma Feifei basically didn't recognize any of them...

Oh, I know two.

The Thirteenth Prince of the Chu Kingdom, Chu Huaixiang, and Chang Kong.

However, these spectators all exuded surging Spiritual Power, clearly indicating that each of them was a powerful figure, which made Ma Feifei's scalp tingle.

"Could these people be people Chu Huaixiang sent to cause trouble?" Ma Feifei took a few steps back without making a sound, just enough to touch the threshold of the Bookstore door.

At the same time, Ma Feifei glanced at Yun Qingyang, who had finished collecting the numbers and was now Rest on the counter, and beckoned with her finger, making a "puci~puci" sound as a hint.

Unfortunately, Yun Qingyang couldn't hear.

Upon seeing Ma Feifei appear, Chang Kong quickly stood up, bowed, and said, "Good morning, teacher."

Before Ma Feifei could react, a group of people immediately turned their attention to Ma Feifei, their eyes filled with doubt, surprise, or a hint of greed.

Ma Feifei couldn't help but shudder, nodded to Chang Kong, pointed at the group of people in front of him, and asked, "Who are they?"

Chang Kong quickly stepped forward and came to Ma Feifei's side, whispering, "Teacher, these people came here specifically because they heard that I had broken through to the Spirit Saint Realm."

On the Azure Dragon Continent, breaking through to the Spirit Saint realm is a remarkable event, especially for someone like Chang Kong, who was directly elevated to the Spirit Saint realm by a single book—a feat unprecedented in history. As a result, everyone wanted to see what was so magical about this book that had propelled Chang Kong to the Spirit Saint realm.

These people are currently located relatively close by, so they were able to arrive in one night; as the news gradually spreads and those in more distant areas learn of it, Dubian Town will surely see even more important figures emerge.

Ma Feifei nodded and was about to speak when suddenly most of the important figures opposite him stood up.

"Oh no! Are they going to make their move so soon?"

"What do I do?"

"Yun Qingyang, where are you? Why haven't you come to protect me yet?"

"Can the system withstand attacks from so many important figures?"

Should I use Chang Kong first?

In that instant, Ma Feifei thought of many things...

"Shopkeeper!" Everyone straightened their hats, clasped their hands, and bowed in unison.

Ma Feifei didn't react when she heard that.

"No wonder he's the shop owner; he doesn't even give face to so many important people who are trying to curry favor with him." A bystander watching from a distance couldn't help but sigh at the scene.

"Yes! Although none of these people who are bowing are Spirit Saint, they are all extremely prominent figures, Stomping Tantrum can shake the entire Great Chu. But compared to the shopkeeper, they suddenly seem much weaker." Another cultivator nodded in agreement.

"Didn't you see? Besides the two princes of the Chu Kingdom, even the Sword Sect leader has stood up. In the entire Great Chu, I'm afraid only King Chu Heng and Saint Chu can make the Sword Sect leader stand up to show respect, right?" Another cultivator said, looking at a white-haired old man in the crowd who had stood up.

"The shop owner's style is beyond our reach." Everyone looked at Ma Feifei with admiration.

"Ahem, you're too kind, everyone. Please have a seat!" Ma Feifei returned the greeting with a fist and palm salute, a slight smile on his face, and spoke in a gentle tone.

To be honest, with so many important figures watching him, he was actually a little flustered.

But as the owner of the Mysterious Bookstore, and the man who is about to become the Azure Dragon King, how could he back down? So even if he was flustered, Ma Feifei had to show a calm demeanor and the composure of a master.

Upon hearing this, everyone bowed again before sitting down and looking up at the projection. However, their eyes were constantly on Ma Feifei, the owner of the Mysterious Bookstore who had risen to fame in just six months.

"You can sit down too, you don't need to keep me company." Ma Feifei waved her hand and said when she saw that Chang Kong was still standing beside her.

"Yes." Chang Kong nodded respectfully, then returned to his seat, next to the leader of the Sword Sect.

However, Chang Kong did not take advantage of his acquaintance with Ma Feifei to introduce the Sword Sect leader to Ma Feifei, which made Ma Feifei look at him differently.

From the moment they arrived in Dubian Town, it was destined that they would become interested in the Mysterious Bookstore the books inside; therefore, their desire to befriend Ma Feifei was naturally purposeful. In this situation, it would be rather inappropriate for Chang Kong to take the personal connections route.

However, there are too many people watching Ma Feifei now, and sitting with them would make Ma Feifei feel a little uncomfortable.

Thinking of this, Ma Feifei turned around and called out to Yun Qingyang, "Qingyang, come here for a moment."

Yun Qingyang lazily raised her head, her hazy eyes fixed on Ma Feifei, and said, "No money."

"I..." Ma Feifei looked at Yun Qingyang, wishing she could slap her to death. Did this dragon mother even have any backbone?

"I don't want money, come here quickly," Ma Feifei said.

Yun Qingyang got up and walked over with a reluctant expression.

Ma Feifei whispered, "Help me inside."
