Chapter 138

Keeping Promises: Forbidden Area

Li Chengfeng walked out of the door to see Su You.

All his previous arrogance was gone, instead he looked depressed. When he saw Li Chengfeng, he forced a smile and even greeted him. “Junior Brother Chengfeng…”

Li Chengfeng returned the greeting. “Senior Brother Su, how may I help you?”

It was terribly awkward for Su You to talk to him while his house was so rundown. “Junior Chengfeng, why don't you get a new house? We have… many empty houses. Although they aren't the best, I guess they'll be… better than this one.”

Li Chengfeng privately heaved a sigh of relief. Looks like this person isn't here for trouble but reconciliation. This was great news since he was in a lot of trouble with everyone. Although it did not change his precarious situation, he felt as if he had found a spring in the middle of the desert.

He smiled. “Thank you Senior Su. Although this house is a little simple, I've gotten used to it. Plus I had cleaned it up these days. It's actually really nice and quiet here.”

Su You became even more awkward because he thought Li Chengfeng was being sarcastic. He had previously received Senior Brother Qin's orders to target Chengfeng. However, he recently realised that this Chengfeng might be the last ray of hope for the desperate Hidden Sword Court. Chengfeng's cultivation abilities were much better than his too.

Chengfeng had disregarded their previous conflicts to save him in Yanjian hall. This caused Su You to be ashamed of himself.

Su You smiled apologetically. “You must be joking, Junior Li. This place is so desolate even birds wouldn't come here to p.o.o.p. You can't even see the village from here, you can't say this place is that good. Our quarters have complete facilities, everything is very convenient there. Plus everyone can learn from each other since we live so close by.”

Li Chengfeng quickly asked, “Speaking of that, where in Hidden Sword Court can I read some beginner's cultivation scriptures?”

Su You was stunned. You're already so good, why would you need beginner's scriptures?

Su You's eyes darted behind him to spot Zhao Xiaobao, who was secretly watching from behind the door. He was shocked. Chengfeng saved him from the brink of death?! He is definitely no ordinary person!

Looks like the beginner's scriptures are for… his servant?

Su You smiled when he realised this. “We have them. Wait a moment, I'll get it for you.”

He turned and ran off, disappearing within moments. Chengfeng privately envied these people with this ability. He wondered when he would learn this, as well as when he would master the art of resurrection so he would never have to beg again!

After about fifteen minutes, Su You returned with four books as thick as a thumb and grinned. “These are 'Notes for Cultivation', 'Cultivating Qi', 'Psychology of Foundation Solidification' and 'Book of Arrays'. Four cultivation cla.s.sics, you can study them when you have the time.”

Overjoyed, Li Chengfeng took the books carefully and bowed. “Thank you, Senior Brother Su! Right, when will Grand Senior Brother hold the evaluation test?”

Su You was surprised and looked at him incredulously. With a bitter smile, he asked, “Aren't you afraid of death at all? You're still thinking about the evaluation?”

Li Chengfeng sighed. “I have enemies both in front and behind me. If I do not keep growing through this evaluation test, if other people come knocking on my door, I'll be a sitting duck!”

Su You fell silent and forced a smile. “That's true too.” The battle at Yanjian Hall had beaten all the arrogance out of him when he realised his abilities were worse than a newcomer. They were all almost defeated right at the first array!

How could they dream of breaking through all ninety-nine arrays?
