"You want to come with me to see Zhiruo? This... this isn't quite right!"
Princess Minmin's face darkened upon hearing this. "What? Are you afraid he'll find out about us?"
Li Changfeng's expression changed upon hearing this. "Let's wait a bit! Let me talk to her about this beforehand!"
Princess Minmin pursed her lips upon hearing this, "So what! If you want to be late, then be late. I won't force you!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng breathed a sigh of relief. He was not prepared at all to take Princess Minmin to see Zhou Zhiruo right now, but fortunately, Princess Minmin did not force him to go in the end.
"Coo! Coo!"
Suddenly, a sound came from outside the cave. Li Changfeng's ears twitched, and he immediately heard the noise. His face darkened, and he shouted, "Who goes there! Come out here! Or don't blame me for being impolite!"
Two figures rushed out and shouted, "Don't attack! It's us!"
"It's all your fault! Your stomach was making such a loud noise, and your older brother noticed!"
"I had no choice! Li Changfeng's grilled food smelled so good, I was hungry too!"
Upon seeing this person, Li Changfeng's eyes widened in surprise. "How come it's you! How did you get here?"
At this moment, Princess Minmin also came out, her face darkening. "You used tracking bees, didn't you!"
Murong Zhan's face fell upon hearing this, "I can't hide it from you, cousin!"
Princess Minmin's expression suddenly changed. "Murong Zhan! Tell me quickly, what did you see?!"
Xiao Qing's face flushed slightly upon hearing this. "Princess Minmin! We've seen things we shouldn't have..."
Li Changfeng's face turned ashen upon hearing this. "You... you two little brats, really!"
Murong Zhan chuckled, "Li Changfeng! I didn't expect you could win over my feisty cousin. Not bad!"
Princess Minmin's face turned red and then pale upon hearing this, and she grabbed Murong Zhan's ear, "What did you say? Say it again!"
"Ouch! That hurts! Cousin! I was wrong! Please forgive me, I'll never say it again!"
Seeing Murong Zhan kneel on the ground in pain and beg for mercy, Princess Minmin finally released her grip. "Hmph! Let's see if you dare to talk nonsense again!"
Murong Zhan glanced timidly at Princess Minmin and asked, "Cousin! Should I call him brother-in-law now, or should I call him by his real name?"
Princess Minmin blushed upon hearing this and coldly snorted, "Whatever!"
Murong Zhan nodded upon hearing this, "Understood!"
Murong Zhan looked at Li Changfeng expectantly, "Brother-in-law! I'm hungry!"
Li Changfeng's face twitched upon hearing this. "Alright! I'll make you something to eat now!"
Li Changfeng grilled a large piece of bear meat. Half an hour later, he divided the bear meat between the two of them. Murong Zhan ate it very messily, his mouth was full of oil, and his clothes were covered in oil stains.
Princess Minmin couldn't help but say upon seeing this, "Have you not eaten for over ten days? How can you look so disheveled and in such a state!"
Upon hearing this, Murong Zhan chuckled and said, "Cousin! This bear meat is delicious. I never knew my brother-in-law had such culinary skills. No wonder my cousin fell for you. I admire you!"
Princess Minmin blushed. "What nonsense are you spouting! You can't even shut up while eating. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll punish you by not letting you eat!"
Upon hearing this, Murong Zhan was immediately startled and quickly said, "No! I was wrong! Cousin! I won't say anything!"
Suddenly, tears streamed down Xiao Qing's face uncontrollably. Seeing this, Li Changfeng smiled wryly and said, "Xiao Qing! What's wrong with you? Why are you crying!"
Xiao Qing slowly said, "It's been a long time since I've had big brother's roasted meat. Eating it this time reminded me of grandma, and I suddenly felt sad!"
Hearing this, Li Changfeng sighed, "Oh! Don't cry! Grandma doesn't want you to be unhappy, you know?"
Xiao Qing nodded slowly upon hearing this, then buried her head in eating the bear meat, saying between bites, "I understand! Big brother!"
Princess Minmin, upon hearing this, asked telepathically, "How do you know this little girl?"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng smiled faintly and slowly told Princess Minmin his story with Xiao Qing. Princess Minmin nodded upon hearing this, "I see! I didn't expect this little girl to be so pitiful. Fortunately, she met you, otherwise her life would probably be over!"
After having eaten and drunk his fill, Murong Zhan suddenly had a bright idea and said with a smile, "Brother-in-law! Could you teach me some swordsmanship?"
Li Changfeng chuckled upon hearing this, "Since you call me brother-in-law, I'll give you a pointer. Try attacking me with your strongest sword strike first!"
Upon hearing this, Murong Zhan nodded solemnly, "Alright! Then I'll make my move!"
Murong Zhan suddenly drew his longsword, and a powerful golden aura condensed within it. He then pointed it at Li Changfeng, unleashing a sharp and domineering golden sword aura. A hint of sword intent was contained within it, making it extremely powerful!
Li Changfeng was slightly surprised upon seeing this, thinking to himself, "I didn't expect this kid to have already grasped a trace of sword intent at such a young age. His talent in swordsmanship is truly astonishing!"
Just as the sword energy was about to strike Li Changfeng, he suddenly made a move, gathering a Crimson Stupa True Qi between his two fingers. With a sharp flick, he unleashed a domineering crimson sword energy, annihilating the incoming golden sword energy. The remaining force then hurtled towards Murong Zhan.
Murong Zhan was startled upon seeing this and quickly parried with his sword. With a clang, Murong's sword trembled as it was deflected, and he staggered back seven or eight steps, glaring angrily at Li Changfeng, "Brother-in-law! You're bullying me!"
Li Changfeng chuckled lightly upon hearing this, "Is that so? Do you know that I only used the power of your sword energy just now? Why is mine so much stronger than yours?"
Murong Zhan's eyes lit up upon hearing this, "Could it be Sword Intent?"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng shook his head. "If it were Sword Intent, you would already be a corpse from that sword strike. I was only using sword intent!"
Murong Zhan frowned upon hearing this, "I also have a trace of sword intent contained within it, there's no reason for such a huge difference?"
Li Changfeng chuckled upon hearing this, "That's right! You do have a trace of sword intent within you, but you don't understand the true meaning of sword intent at all. It depends on what kind of sword intent you want to use. Even sword intent has its own attributes and power, which you haven't grasped at all!"
Murong Zhan listened with a thoughtful expression, slowly walked down, sat cross-legged on the ground, and pondered Li Changfeng's words.
Seeing this, Li Changfeng smiled slightly, "It seems this kid will figure out the reasoning in no time! His talent is truly amazing!"
At this moment, Xiao Qing also walked over quietly, pouting, and said, "Big brother! You said you would teach me martial arts, but so much time has passed and you haven't taught me a single move!"
Li Changfeng's face twitched upon hearing this, and he thought to himself, "Damn it! I almost forgot about that. I need to make amends quickly!"
Princess Minmin smiled faintly upon seeing this, "Xiao Qing! Come here! Let your sister Minmin teach you a few moves. That guy's martial arts are not suitable for girls to practice!"
Xiao Qing's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she exclaimed in delight, "Really? Sister Minmin!"
Princess Minmin smiled slightly upon hearing this, "You little rascal! Would I lie to you?"
