From Qin Xue's tone and expression, Qin Yu had already determined that things were not as simple as Qin Xue had described. Now, upon hearing the cold shout, Qin Yu instantly understood. Recalling Qin Xue's fearful demeanor, the anger in his heart surged uncontrollably.
Qin Yu didn't explode immediately. Judging by the person's aura, their cultivation should be in the Heavenly Tempering Three Realms. The gap in cultivation was significant, and now was not the time to act out. What surprised Qin Yu slightly was the golden mark between Tong Yunfei's eyebrows.
He vaguely recognized it but couldn't recall it for a moment.
"Alright, alright, it was all a misunderstanding. Fellow Daoist Chen, it's been many days, and your cultivation has improved again. This is Tong Yunfei; he has a bit of a temper, so please don't mind him, Fellow Daoist Chen. Come, try my tea." Zi Xun'er stood up with a smile, smoothing things over. With a wave of her right hand, she produced a rattan chair and placed it to the side.
But these words only made Tong Yunfei's anger flare up even more. What did she mean he had a temper? To maintain his image, Tong Yunfei let out a cold snort and remained silent.
Qin Yu glanced at Tong Yunfei and said nothing, slowly sitting down.
Zi Xun'er poured tea for Qin Yu and handed it to him, saying, "Fellow Daoist Chen, try it."
Looking at the smiling Zi Xun'er, Qin Yu frowned slightly. He took the teacup and took a small sip.
Tong Yunfei stared at Qin Yu. Zi Xun'er personally pouring tea for Qin Yu had already made him extremely displeased. Seeing Zi Xun'er personally serve it to Qin Yu, Tong Yunfei couldn't stand it any longer. He said coldly, "Xun'er, coming to this remote place, not just any friend can be made, lest it tarnish your status."
Zi Xun'er pretended to glare at Tong Yunfei, then looked at Qin Yu and asked with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Chen, how is this tea?"
"Average," Qin Yu replied calmly.
"Pfft," Tong Yunfei chuckled, his cold smirk and mockery deepening. He said coldly, "Fellow Daoist, do you perhaps have a better tea than this Spirit Spring Mountain Tea? Why not bring it out and share it with us?" In his opinion, Qin Yu was putting on an act, trying to appear richer than he was.
But he didn't know that Qin Yu wasn't putting on an act at all. As the former Librarian Pavilion Master, many of his junior disciples would often pay their respects to him, and among the gifts were tea leaves. However, the best tea Qin Yu had ever tasted was given to him by the Tian Qi Sect Master when he was promoted to Librarian Pavilion Master. That tea was called Heavenly Spirit Immortal Tea, a renowned immortal tea in the Immortal Martial World.
Although the Spirit Spring Mountain Tea tasted good, compared to the Heavenly Spirit Immortal Tea, the difference was worlds apart.
Qin Yu ignored Tong Yunfei's words, completely disregarding him.
Zi Xun'er looked at Qin Yu with surprise.
Tong Yunfei had an extraordinary demeanor, clearly not an ordinary person. Moreover, his entire body exuded a sharp, overbearing aura. An ordinary person would never dare to sit with him. Yet, Qin Yu was calm and composed, and faced with Tong Yunfei's sarcasm and mockery, he didn't react at all. This state of mind was not something an ordinary person could possess.
Furthermore, from her understanding of Qin Yu, he wasn't speaking sarcastically.
At that moment, Zi Xun'er's eyes darted around, and she said, "Xun'er is also curious. What kind of tea does Fellow Daoist Chen consider good tea?"
"If Fellow Daoist Zi wishes to explore the art of tea, we can choose a time in the future to discuss it at length. However, I have something to inquire about today. May I ask if unrelated people can leave?" Qin Yu said calmly, staring at Zi Xun'er.
"Bang!" The teacup in Tong Yunfei's hand was instantly crushed. He stared darkly at Qin Yu, his entire body erupting with pressure that enveloped Qin Yu. He said menacingly, "May I ask who this 'unrelated person' you speak of is?"
Qin Yu didn't answer, or rather, he didn't even look at Tong Yunfei, his gaze fixed on Zi Xun'er.
Seeing this, Tong Yunfei felt countless flames erupting in his chest. This was the first time in his life he had been so completely ignored. The look in his eyes as he gazed at Qin Yu was now laced with a chilling killing intent.
Zi Xun'er glanced at the almost berserk Tong Yunfei, then at the composed Qin Yu. She was inwardly astonished. Tong Yunfei had always shown her a gentle side, and she had never seen him act so wildly before. Moreover, as the young master of a prominent family, he shouldn't get angry so easily. She bit her lip, concealing her thoughts, and said, "Fellow Daoist Chen, Tong Yunfei is a friend, not an outsider."
Tong Yunfei's anger subsided somewhat, but Qin Yu's next words made his killing intent even stronger.
"I, Qin Yu, cannot afford to make such a friend. If Fellow Daoist Zi is busy today, we can discuss it another time." As Qin Yu spoke, he stood up. His restraint from the beginning was already a form of forbearance. Even if Tong Yunfei had an extraordinary identity, so what? In Tianwu Main City, he didn't believe Tong Yunfei would make a move, because the first person to stop him would undoubtedly be Zi Xun'er.
Moreover, Qin Yu vaguely suspected that this was all orchestrated by Zi Xun'er. Although he didn't know her motive, Zi Xun'er was definitely fanning the flames. Otherwise, she would have explained to Qin Xue back then instead of letting her overthink things.
Since that was the case, how could Qin Yu fulfill Zi Xun'er's wish? As for Tong Yunfei, as long as he didn't provoke him, Qin Yu would never grovel before him. So what if he was in the Heavenly Tempering Three Realms? If it really came to a fight, although Qin Yu had no chance of winning, Tong Yunfei would not have an easy time. After all, with the Mad Demon First Transformation, the more severely injured one became, the stronger they grew!
Tong Yunfei suppressed his killing intent, staring at Qin Yu mockingly, and said coldly, "Knowing your place is the best thing." If Zi Xun'er hadn't been present, he would have already made a move.
"On the other hand, some people lack the self-awareness to know their place," Qin Yu said, then took a step forward.
Tong Yunfei's suppressed anger flared up again. He slammed his hand on the tea table, sending it flying off the balcony. He stared at Qin Yu and said coldly, "If you don't explain yourself today, don't even think about leaving this place."
"Crash!"
"Ah! Who the hell dares to sneak attack me? Get out here!!" A roar erupted from the main road below.
Hearing the roar from below, Qin Yu paused. Tong Yunfei stared darkly at Qin Yu, and Zi Xun'er glanced below without saying a word or dispelling the barrier to explain. Someone from the Myriad Phenomena Pill Shop would naturally handle the matter.
"Alright, Tong Yunfei, Fellow Daoist Chen didn't deliberately target you," Zi Xun'er quickly said, a faint smile playing on her lips.
"No one's coming out? Fine, today I'm going to tear down your damn pill shop." The roar sounded again, and Tong Yunfei punched through the array covering the balcony. He stared at the burly young man below and said sternly, "If you want to die, try moving."
Tong Yunfei was holding back a lot of frustration today. He didn't want to ruin Zi Xun'er's impression of him because of Qin Yu, so he had been holding back. But that didn't mean he wasn't angry. Hearing the roar from below, his anger erupted, and he just wanted to vent it on the person below.
The Illusion Array was dispelled, and the person below immediately saw the three people on the balcony.
Hearing Tong Yunfei's words, the enraged young man's face, full of flesh, contorted in rage. But when he saw Qin Yu with his back turned, the young man's eyes widened, and he rubbed them vigorously, then looked up at Qin Yu.
After confirming it was Qin Yu, the young man let out a roar of surprised delight, "Big Brother..." As he spoke, he stopped and jumped directly onto the balcony of the pavilion. His address had also changed, directly omitting the character 'Qin'.
"Bang!" The moment the incredibly sturdy young man landed, the balcony shook violently, almost collapsing.
Qin Yu also turned around and looked at Xiong Tatian, saying, "Xiong Tatian, we'll catch up later."
"You're the one who wants to tear down the Myriad Phenomena Pill Shop? Get down." Tong Yunfei, already full of pent-up anger, saw that Xiong Tatian knew Qin Yu and directly pushed Xiong Tatian with one hand.
Xiong Tatian sidestepped, dodging Tong Yunfei's hand. He said with an embarrassed expression, "A misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. I didn't know you were my Big Brother's friend. If I had known, I wouldn't dare to tear this place down." Saying this, Xiong Tatian ignored Tong Yunfei and walked to Qin Yu's side, his eyes red. "Big Brother, it's so good to see you. You have no idea how worried I've been these past few days."
Before Xiong Tatian could finish speaking, Qin Yu quickly stopped him. A major incident had occurred in the Land of Beast Burial, and it was directly related to him. Qin Yu didn't want Zi Xun'er to know he had been to the Land of Beast Burial, lest she start overthinking. He immediately said, "Where is Li Tianji? Let's go, we'll find a place to talk."
"Okay!" Xiong Tatian nodded and followed Qin Yu out of the balcony.
Being ignored twice in a row today made Tong Yunfei furious. His aura erupted, and he shouted sternly, "I said you could leave? If you don't explain yourselves clearly today, none of you will step out of this pill shop!!"
Xiong Tatian paused, looking at Qin Yu and then at Tong Yunfei with confusion. He whispered, "Big Brother, who is he talking to? Isn't he your friend?"
Qin Yu felt speechless. The reason he hadn't turned around for so long was precisely because he was worried that Xiong Tatian would recognize him and get into a conflict with Tong Yunfei. But now...
"Friend? Do lowly individuals have the right to be my friend, Tong Yunfei?" Tong Yunfei sneered.
Xiong Tatian didn't react for a moment, then he grumbled, "Big brother, who is he calling a lowly person?" As he spoke, Xiong Tatian glanced at Zi Xun'er, as if he were scrutinizing her.
Tong Yunfei was amused by Xiong Tatian's outburst, laughing in anger as he said, "So you're an idiot."
Xiong Tatian's face, full of thick flesh, tensed sharply. He suddenly turned his head to look at Tong Yunfei and asked, "Who are you calling an idiot?"
"Who else but you?" Tong Yunfei replied coldly.
"Aren't you my big brother's friend?" Xiong Tatian asked again, his fleshy face looking somewhat displeased.
"Him? He's qualified to be my friend?" Tong Yunfei said mockingly.
"Then go to hell!!!" Xiong Tatian roared in fury, his aura erupting ferociously. He lunged directly at Tong Yunfei, his fist, the size of a hammer, attacking with violent Gang Qi.
