Fire Phoenix Valley
"A martial arts contest to choose a husband."
Upon hearing those four words in the main courtyard, Chu Feng immediately perked up.
He joked, "You've got quite a few tricks up your sleeve, haven't you? Since you're getting married, as your master, I'll naturally accompany you."
Chu Feng always treated everyone equally. Since Xu Caichen had gone, he would naturally attend Ye Beixuan's wedding as well.
The disciples present also showed eager expressions. They had been cultivating in the mountains for almost half a year, so going out for a trip seemed like a good idea.
Upon hearing this, Ye Beixuan's face immediately lit up with joy. "Thank you, Master."
Chu Feng turned his gaze to the others. "Any of you who want to go can come with me."
After exchanging glances, Xiao Chen and Cao Youqian were the first to step forward.
"We'd like to go together."
Qin Qin and Xu Caichen also stepped forward to state, "Master, we plan to continue our cultivation in the mountains for some more time."
"Um."
Chu Feng nodded slightly, and soon all the disciples made their choices.
Finally, Bing Yan, along with Qin Qin and others, took charge of the Miscellaneous Dao Institute. Bing Yanyue hadn't taught her disciples for a long time, and as Great Sage of the Dao-Seeking Academy, she couldn't neglect her disciples.
Finally, Chu Feng decided to set off three days later.
Three days later, Chu Feng, Ye Beixuan, Xiao Chen, Cao Youqian, Wang Baole, and two young girls, along with two inner disciples, headed to Fire Phoenix Valley in the southwest of the Profound Heaven Continent to participate in a martial arts contest to choose a husband three months later.
Fire Phoenix Valley is named after a fire phoenix that married a Human Race man here 100 million years ago and left behind offspring.
The direct descendants of Fire Phoenix Valley all take Phoenix as their surname. Because they possess the bloodline of the Fire Phoenix, at least Great Sage will be born in each generation.
Occasionally, Saint will be born, but these Saint will mysteriously disappear.
No one knows where these Saint of Fire Phoenix Valley went.
There are rumors that the Saint of Fire Phoenix Valley eventually went to other continents to return to their ancestral home.
Some say that the union of a human and a phoenix, once resulting in sainthood, will inevitably incur divine punishment, and Saint of Fire Phoenix Valley eventually perished.
Regardless of the specific rumors, it doesn't diminish the fact that Fire Phoenix Valley is a top-tier power, second only to the sacred forces of the Profound Continent.
Its long history and heritage are in no way inferior to the Great Sage.
Recently, Fire Phoenix Valley has been exceptionally lively, with young talents from all races across the Profound Continent gathering here, intending to participate in Fire Phoenix Valley's martial arts contest to seek marriage with Feng Qiongyu, the granddaughter of the Fire Phoenix Valley Master.
With a rumbling sound, a black tiger demon at the Dao Integration Realm pulled a huge chariot towards the valley.
The carriage was driven by two beautiful women, one tall and one short, and wherever it went, it attracted the attention of countless people.
"Master, we've arrived at Fire Phoenix Valley."
One of the slightly older beauties turned her head and sweetly said something to the people in the carriage.
"Okay, let's find an inn to stay at first."
A remarkably calm voice came from inside the carriage.
"Promise."
After the woman responded, she said to the black tiger demon, "Big Cat, automatically find an inn."
"Okay."
The black tiger demon had absolutely no aura of a Dao Integration Demon General; it was just like a well-behaved kitten.
Inside the carriage.
Chu Feng was sitting around a tea table with his disciples. After taking a sip of tea, he asked, "Beixuan, I'll leave the rest to you. I want to see just how much you've grown."
Ye Beixuan respectfully replied, "Master, rest assured, Beixuan will absolutely not let you down."
Chu Feng nodded slightly, without saying anything more.
Feng Qiongyu, who was sitting next to Ye Beixuan, suddenly spoke up, "Sir, I had a nice little courtyard in Fire Phoenix Valley. If you don't mind, you can stay there for a while."
"Can."
Chu Feng agreed without hesitation.
Feng Qiongyu stepped out of the car wearing a veil. As a direct descendant of the Feng Lineage, she was easily recognized, and her family members were unaware of her return.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, she decided to keep her whereabouts a secret from the Feng Lineage.
Unfortunately, the moment Feng Qiongyu entered the valley, the Feng Lineage's phoenix tree sensed her return and immediately sent a message to the Feng Lineage.
Upon learning of Feng Qiongyu's return, the head of the Feng Lineage immediately sent people to fetch Feng Qiongyu.
Fire Phoenix Valley, on Parasol Tree Street.
Feng Qiongyu pointed to the magnificent courtyard in front of them and said to everyone, "This is the villa where I used to stay. Apart from close relatives in the clan, few other people would come here."
Chu Feng scanned the courtyard with his divine sense and said with a smile, "It is indeed a unique courtyard. Let's stay here."
"Please, sir."
Feng Qiongyu opened the courtyard gate and looked at the familiar scene. Suddenly, she had an urge to run to her room and take a nap.
Just after everyone entered the courtyard, several figures appeared outside the gate.
The young man at the head of the group, whose forehead was etched with a fire pattern, frowned and muttered, "This little sister is getting more and more outrageous. With the martial arts contest for a husband imminent, she's actually brought someone to her own residence. If word gets out, won't her reputation be ruined?"
Standing to the side, a woman in a fiery red dress, exuding captivating charm, smiled and said, "Third Brother, don't be angry. Perhaps those people are just fellow disciples of Sister Qiongyu; they have no special relationship whatsoever."
"Snort!"
Third Brother Feng sneered, "What nonsense about fellow disciples? Xiaoyu is a member of my Feng Lineage, not a disciple of the Dao-Seeking Academy."
Since birth, the disciples of the Feng Lineage have been instilled with the idea that they are all descendants of divine beasts, of noble status and bloodline, and are different from ordinary cultivators.
Even the most outstanding talents from the holy lands do not possess the same bloodline as them.
Therefore, Third Brother Feng did not take the disciples of the Dao-Seeking Academy seriously.
"Third Brother, should we just barge in, or..."
The alluring woman asked tentatively.
Third Brother Feng casually made a hand gesture, and a phoenix the size of a palm appeared in his hand before flying towards the courtyard.
Feng Qiongyu is currently leading everyone on a leisurely stroll through her residence, arranging accommodations for each person.
When she caught a glimpse of the fiery phoenix falling from the sky out of the corner of her eye, her expression changed almost imperceptibly.
She then said to Chu Feng, "Sir, people from my Feng Lineage are looking for me. Please wait in this garden for a moment."
"Good."
As Chu Feng spoke, he turned his gaze to Ye Beixuan, who was standing to the side.
Ye Beixuan wasn't exactly a straight man, and even though Feng Qiongyu didn't say anything, he continued to follow behind her towards the main entrance.
Feng Qiongyu arrived at the gate and casually opened it, only to be met with an angry face...
