Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Before Xia Qianqian could answer Xia Leng\'s question, Ning Qingxue spoke to him first. "Why don\'t you try to sense her cultivation? Her cultivation has already passed the foundation realm, so she is stronger than you now."

Not only was Xia Leng shocked to hear Ning Qingxue\'s words, but Shan Yun and Gong Zhi were also shocked, and the three of them immediately tried to sense Xia Qianqian\'s cultivation. Sure enough, they could no longer sense her cultivation, which meant that her cultivation was already surpassing theirs.

Moreover, her cultivation was still at the 5-Star Foundation Realm ten days ago, but she had suddenly surpassed that realm, and she did it in just ten days.

Xia Qianqian glared fiercely at Ning Qingxue, causing her to shiver after remembering the artifact she used to attack her ten days ago. She then took out her inner disciple jade, before showing it to them. "As you can see, Big Brother, I am an inner disciple now. That\'s why I came back here to tidy up my personal belongings, and I will move to the inner area starting today."

Seeing the three men still frozen in shock, Xia Qianqian immediately ran to her room and tidied up her things quickly, and she met them again a few moments later. "Big brother, I want to get used to my new environment first, so I can\'t go with you guys on a mission, but I\'ll join you guys again after I get used to everything."

Before she left them, Xia Qianqian turned to Ning Qiangxue and coldly spoke to her. "If you dare to trouble me again, I will not hesitate to attack you, and I will use a stronger attack than before."

\'This bitch!\' Ning Qiangxue only dared to curse in her heart, especially since Xia Qianqian\'s cultivation was already several levels higher than hers, and the difference in strength between the foundation and core realms was quite significant.

"Humph!" Xia Qianqian snorted coldly at Ning Qiangxue before leaving them.

*Smack... Smack...*

Ning Qiangxue smacked Shan Yun and Gong Zhi\'s heads and asked them a question. "How long are you two going to be in shock like this?"

They quickly regained consciousness before Shan Yun inquired. "How could Qianqian\'s cultivation break through six levels in ten days? We\'ve worked so hard to reach our current level, but she can surpass us so easily."

"I don\'t know." Then, Gong Zhi turned to Ning Qiangxue. "You must know something about Qianqian, right? Moreover, she was never so cold to you before, but you two are like enemies now."

Xia Leng also looked at Ning Qingxue. "Tell me, what exactly happened to Qianqian?"

"Tch!" Ning Qingxue gritted her teeth in annoyance before telling them the truth. "Do you three remember the male disciple we met in the village? His name is Zhang Fei [1], and he has already advanced to the status of an inner disciple.

Besides, Qianqian is his dual-cultivation partner now, so I\'m sure that he helped her improve her cultivation, or else her cultivation wouldn\'t have shot up that high."

After hearing that, Shan Yun and Gong Zhi exchanged shocked glances, as they didn\'t expect that Xia Qianqian would decide to become Zhang Fei [1]\'s partner.

However, they still felt strange about her cultivation speed, especially since it was impossible for an inner disciple to help her increase her cultivation by six levels in ten days; even an elder would not be able to help her break through that fast.

Upon hearing that, Xia Leng\'s face darkened and his fists tightened, but Ning Qingxue promptly issued a warning. "You better forget your anger toward Zhang Fei [1], especially since his cultivation has reached the core realm, so you are not his match. Furthermore, he was the one who saved you three from that beast; otherwise, you guys would be dead by now."

Xia Leng naturally knew that he was not Zhang Fei [1]\'s opponent, but he was still furious at him for snatching his little sister away from him. Although he was grateful to him for saving them, he still couldn\'t accept it. \'Damn it! I have to break through to the core realm as soon as possible, so I can teach him a lesson for snatching my little sister, and I will snatch Qianqian back from him.\'

"Let\'s go! The four of us are enough to complete the group mission." As Xia Leng strode away, the other three immediately followed suit.

Meanwhile, Xia Qianqian had arrived at the inner area, and she was delighted because her room was not far from Zhang Fei\'s room [1]. After tidying up her belongings in her room, she headed straight to his room to meet him. However, he was preoccupied with his cultivation, so she, along with the other four women who had woken up long ago, waited for him.

[Ding]

[Daily Quest: Absorb 2,400 Qi]

[Status: Done]

[Reward: 2,400 red jewels sent to inventory]

After the notification appeared in his mind, Zhang Fei [1] immediately opened his eyes, but Xia Qianqian immediately jumped onto his lap and hugged his neck. "Hehe! I\'m already an inner disciple, brother. Moreover, our rooms are very close, so I can meet you every day."

"That\'s good." Zhang Fei [1] replied with a nod before lifting Xia Qianqian to her feet, and he then spoke to the other four women. "At first, I wanted to enter seclusion with you guys for a month, but I changed my mind because my cultivation breakthrough was too fast, so I didn\'t dare to break through any further.

That\'s why you guys can get dressed now, and we\'ll go find some missions, especially since I want to reach the top ten inner disciple ranks as soon as possible."

"Fei, I\'m really jealous of you." Du Yuan was the first to say this to him as she started to get dressed. "When we first met at Blazing Volcano Mountain, your cultivation was still in the 1-Star Foundation realm, but you\'ve surpassed me now."

"That\'s true." Ning Xiang nodded in agreement with her best friend. "However, we shouldn\'t be surprised by his progress, right? Back then, he was much weaker than us, but he managed to save us from death, unlike Xie Gang and Luo Hai, who fled in fear of death and left us behind."

"Hey! Xiang! You don\'t need to talk about those two cowards anymore!" Every time Du Yuan remembered those two, she was filled with anger.

"Haha." Ning Xiang laughed at that.

As she got dressed, Luo Yu asked Zhang Fei [1]. "Are you thinking of taking that mission to capture an adult owl bear?"

"An adult owl bear is quite strong, but now that we\'ve reached the core realm and there are six of us, I think we can take that quest, especially since the point reward is also very high." Instead, Gu Yan answered her question.

Zhang Fei [1] nodded to them. "I do intend to take that mission, so I hope no other disciple groups have taken it yet. Besides, we will also take some missions that are not far from that mission location, so we can collect more points quickly."

Once they were all dressed, Zhang Fei [1] led the five women to the mission hall. On their way there, they encountered Tang Rou, who immediately fled like a frightened rabbit upon seeing his face, causing them to laugh at her terrified expression.

Soon, they reached the mission hall, and Zhang Fei [1] was relieved that no other group of disciples had taken the mission to capture an adult owl bear, so he immediately took the mission paper. In addition, he took several mission papers that offered rewards exceeding sixty thousand points, particularly since there were six of them, so they could share the reward equally.

The male elder, who was in charge of the mission hall, frowned as Zhang Fei [1] handed all the missions to him. He wanted to stop him from taking them all at once, particularly because they were all extremely challenging.

However, the male elder suddenly received a voice transmission from Shen Xueyi, who asked him to let Zhang Fei [1] take all the missions, which surprised him quite a bit. "All right, you guys can take all these missions, but you must be very careful and don\'t force yourselves, especially since some of these quests are in dangerous places."

"Thank you for your warning, Elder."

As they walked away, the male elder kept watching them while wondering in his heart, especially since it was unusual for Shen Xueyi to interfere in sect matters, and he suspected that Zhang Fei [1] had a special relationship with her.

.

On top of a building, two women watched the six of them seriously, especially Zhang Fei [1]. "Are you thinking of following them, Luan\'er?"

"Hehe." Yan Luan\'er laughed at Xi Zihua\'s question before nodding at her. "There\'s been nothing serious going on in the sect lately, and I\'m really bored, so I thought we could go follow them for the time being."

Xi Zihua let out a heavy sigh as she shook her head. "That kid took on so many missions at once, so they probably won\'t be back in the sect for a long time."

"Yes." Yan Luan\'er nodded in agreement with her. "That\'s why we should follow them, and we\'ll find a chance to get closer to him. However, I don\'t want him to recognize our identities, so we\'ll use disguises for that."

"All right, let\'s follow them now."

However, Shen Xueyi suddenly appeared in front of them and stopped them. "You two cannot leave the sect for now, and I want you to prepare something for the worst-case scenario."

After hearing that, both women exchanged confused glances, especially since the situation in their sect had always been safe, prompting Yan Luan\'er to question her. "What happened, Mistress? What kind of worst-case scenario are you referring to?"

"Follow me." Both women nodded and followed Shen Xueyi, and they quickly arrived at her private room. She then sealed the room with a soundproof formation, ensuring that no one else could eavesdrop on them directly or indirectly. "You two are some of my trusted people, so I\'ll tell you guys the truth.

I intend to get rid of Shen Haoran, but before I can do that, I have to get rid of the people who are loyal to him."

Yan Luan\'er and Xi Zihua were taken aback upon hearing this, particularly as they had never heard of any significant issues between Shen Xueyi and Shen Haoran. However, she suddenly decided to get rid of him and his loyalists. "What exactly happened? Can you explain it to us in detail?"

"I did it for Yu\'er." Shen Xueyi\'s answer confused them. "My daughter has never liked Shen Tianyu, and she has already chosen another man to be her husband. Furthermore, my mother and grandmother have already agreed on this matter, and I\'m certain that Shen Haoran will cause chaos if I decide to cancel our child\'s engagement.

Moreover, he has always harbored the ambition to seize my Shen Clan\'s leadership from me, so we decided to get rid of him as soon as possible. However, the people who are loyal to him are not few, so I need your help to get rid of them."

Upon hearing Shen Xueyi\'s explanation, both women nodded in understanding, as they themselves knew that Shen Haoran was indeed a man full of ambition, and Shen Tianyu was no less ambitious than him.

Xi Zihua then asked her. "Have you talked to the others, Mistress? It\'s impossible for me and Luan\'er to get rid of them with just the two of us, so it would be better if you talked to them first."

"I\'ve talked to some of them, and they\'ve agreed to help me get rid of them." Shen Xueyi replied with a nod. "However, some of them are still in seclusion right now, so I\'ll talk to them after they finish their seclusion, and we\'ll start moving after they agree."

"Anyway, who is the man that Yu\'er chose as her husband, Mistress?" Yan Luan\'er asked with curiosity, especially since she had never seen Shen Yu in contact with any man before.

"Zhang Fei."
