Chapter 28: Leisure and Ease

“Gu Qingfeng beat up several Outer Sect disciples? And he did it fiercely?”

Upon hearing this news, Ouyang Ye almost fainted, no longer heeding her senior sister’s objections, and hurriedly made her way to Red Leaf Valley.

It was noon, and the sun was scorching.

When Ouyang Ye arrived at Red Leaf Valley, many people had already gathered, seemingly discussing something.

“You didn’t see it! That Crimson Flame Young Master, what’s his name? Gu Qingfeng, right? He was amazing, just a few slaps and he had Wang Dongfei and the others with swollen noses and bruised faces.”

“Ah? The Crimson Flame Young Master? Is he the one that Sister Ouyang fell in love with at first sight? Didn’t he fail in the foundation establishment?”

“He did fail in the foundation establishment, but he was lucky. During the failure, an anomaly occurred. Even though his spiritual roots and Dantian were shattered, he developed an Anomalous Body, making his physical body incredibly strong and powerful!”

“I heard that after they finished planting the entire spirit field, the Crimson Flame Young Master finally let them go.”

“Hmph! Wang Dongfei and the others usually act so arrogantly in the Outer Sect because they have the backing of Li Sen. Now they’ve met their match, haven’t they?”

“Their match? I think that Crimson Flame Young Master is simply courting death. I guarantee it won’t be long before Li Sen hears of this, and then… huh huh! That Crimson Flame Young Master will die a very miserable death!”

Ouyang Ye’s heart pounded as she listened to the crowd’s discussions. She couldn’t believe Gu Qingfeng would be so bold, not only beating up Wang Dongfei and the others but also forcing them to tend to the spirit fields.

Wait a minute!

Where is Gu Qingfeng?

Ouyang Ye looked around but didn’t see Gu Qingfeng. After asking some disciples, it seemed someone had seen Gu Qingfeng and the menial worker Wang Dashan heading towards Red Leaf Mountain.

Red Leaf Valley was adjacent to Red Leaf Mountain.

Without hesitation, Ouyang Ye quickly began to ascend the mountain.

Red Leaf Mountain was neither particularly large nor small, just an ordinary mountain range. The mountain was covered with a forest of red leaf trees, and beyond that, there was nothing special about it.

She wondered what that guy was doing up the mountain. Could he be hiding in fear?

As Ouyang Ye climbed, she looked around. After searching for quite a while without success, she leaped onto a large tree to get a better view. In the distance, she faintly saw two people.

One of them, a bit clumsy-looking and wearing a grey robe, was picking wild fruits from the ground. The other, a young man in white, was plucking fruits from the tree branches.

Heavens!

Isn’t that Gu Qingfeng!

Ouyang Ye shouted his name and hurried over.

Gu Qingfeng, holding a branch, was knocking fruits down from the tree. Hearing his name called, he squinted and looked over, smiling, “Oh, isn’t this Sister Ouyang? Weren’t you in closed-door cultivation?”

“You! You have the nerve to be eating wild fruits here?”

Ouyang Ye couldn’t believe it. She thought Gu Qingfeng was hiding in fear, but now she realized that was not the case at all.

Was he afraid?

There wasn’t a trace of fear on his face.

Not at all. In fact,

he seemed quite relaxed, as if… as if nothing had ever happened at the foot of the mountain.

“I’m in a good mood,” Gu Qingfeng said while eating the fruit. “These fruits taste really good. I used to eat them a lot when I was young. You should try some too.”

Gu Qingfeng recalled the Red Leaf Mountain after a casual mention by Wang Dashan. Coming to the mountain and eating the wild fruits, he suddenly remembered his days in the Cloudy Rosy Heaven Sect, where he often ate these fruits. He distinctly remembered that these fruits were named ‘Red Leaf Demon Fruits’ because they looked like the face of a demon. Eating the Red Leaf Demon Fruits after five hundred years brought back a flood of memories.

“You still have the mood to eat! Come down here! Do you realize the trouble you’ve caused?” Ouyang Ye shouted anxiously: “Didn’t I have Wang Dashan tell you to stay put in the Hidden Spirit Garden? What are you even doing here? And why did you have to beat them up? And forcing them to cultivate your spirit fields for you… You are simply–”

“What about it?” Gu Qingfeng jumped down from the tree, smiling: “According to you, if my spirit field is destroyed, should I just not even fart about it?”

“That’s not what I mean. I’m saying… you’re too impulsive. You beat them up, and they will definitely not let you off!”

“Just a few kids, what is there for me to be afraid of!”

Gu Qingfeng then took out a flask from his storage bag, continuing to eat the spirit fruits and sipping his liquor.

“You… You’re impossible! Forget it! Come on, let’s get out of here!” Saying this, Ouyang Ye grabbed Gu Qingfeng, intending to leave.

“Where are you taking me?”

“Away from the Cloudy Rosy Heaven Sect, the farther the better.”

“Leaving the Cloudy Rosy Heaven Sect?” Gu Qingfeng shook his head: “Sister, didn’t I tell you? I have something to discuss with Huo De. That old man has been missing these past two days. I’ll leave once he returns.”

“It’s too late for that. Li Sen will definitely come after you if he finds out about this!”

“So let him come.”

Gu Qingfeng smirked: “What? You think I can’t handle him?”

“I know you have a strong body and great strength. I admit I’m no match for you, but Li Sen is at the ninth level of the Innate realm, and his martial skills are profound. You’re no match for him.”

“Just the ninth level of Innate? I don’t even consider that a challenge.”

“Just the ninth level of Innate? Hehehe!”

The one who spoke wasn’t Ouyang Ye, but a woman who suddenly appeared – it was Tan Siru, who had been following Ouyang Ye. She stared coldly at Gu Qingfeng, scoffing: “A foundation establishment failure dares to speak such arrogant words, what an audacious claim!”

“I can’t help it.” Gu Qingfeng looked at her playfully, shrugging: “I’ve always been bold like this… Haha!”

“Impudent! How dare you disrespect me!”

Tan Siru was already displeased with the Dao companion her junior sister had found, and now this man was being so insolent in front of her, infuriating her.

Gu Qingfeng took a sip of his liquor, not taking her seriously at all, and said with a relaxed demeanor: “Sister, I’ve lived much longer than you, if we really go by seniority, you should be calling me ‘Ancestor’.”

“I think you’re courting death!”

Tan Siru’s expression changed drastically, her eyes blazing with anger as her aura surged, ready to teach this disrespectful man a lesson!

“Senior Sister…”

Seeing this, Ouyang Ye quickly stepped forward to stop her, almost at her wit’s end. She had neither the mood nor the time to scold Gu Qingfeng for his disrespect towards her senior sister. Her only thought was to get this reckless man away from this place as soon as possible.

“Junior sister, is this the man you fell in love with at first sight?” Tan Siru pointed at Gu Qingfeng, angrily chastising Ouyang Ye: “A foundation establishment failure, so arrogant and presumptuous. If we don’t teach him a lesson today, he’ll really start to think his failed foundation body is something precious!”

“Forget it. Whether I’m a foundation establishment failure or not, I don’t need you to say. I know what I am. You should just go about your business.”

After putting all the Red Leaf Demon Fruits from Wang Dashan’s hands into his storage bag, Gu Qingfeng didn’t want to bother with these two anymore. He walked to another Red Leaf tree, planning to pick more fruits to brew some fine wine.

However, his dismissive attitude made Tan Siru burst into laughter and then anger. She said ‘good’ three times, and then sternly said: “Junior sister, did you hear that? It’s not that I don’t want to help you, but he himself asked me to leave! He’s so arrogant, isn’t he? I want to see if he can still laugh when Li Sen comes later!”

Tan Siru grabbed Ouyang Ye’s shoulder, huffed, and swiftly left.
