"Alas, I'm getting old; the future belongs to you young people!"
"Well done!"
"Since that's the case, I will hand over the key to this refining room to you. You can use this refining room anytime within these few months."
"Just tell me what materials you need."
Elder Qi made a decision on the spot and gave Ye Fei the key to the refining room.
As for the other people from the Qi Sect present, they were all filled with envy and jealousy.
They had been studying in the Qi Sect for several years without receiving such an honor. Yet, Ye Fei, who was merely here for a short exchange, easily obtained such privileges!
This proved the saying that strength is the best proof and the best pass!
At this point, Ye Fei had thoroughly struck a chord within their hearts!
"Alright, this friendly spar has now officially concluded."
"Then the prize money rightfully belongs to Ye Fei."
Following that, Elder Qi directly handed the Flame Stone, along with Ye Fei's Red Gold, into Ye Fei's hands.
"Thank you, thank you!"
"If anyone else among you wishes to challenge me, you are most welcome!"
Ye Fei grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and said gleefully.
The crowd couldn't help but roll their eyes.
Getting the benefits and then acting humble!
"Alright, that's all for today's lesson. If there are no other questions, you may all disperse!"
Elder Qi, seeing that it was already evening, quickly said.
Before long, only Bai Feng, Elder Qi and his daughter, Ye Fei, and Li Qingqing remained on the scene.
Elder Qi rubbed his hands together and said somewhat sheepishly.
"Young friend Ye, I have a rather presumptuous request."
"Would you be willing to transfer that piece of Red Gold to me?"
"Rest assured, I will definitely exchange it for something of equivalent value!"
Ye Fei hadn't expected that after hesitating for so long, it was all for a piece of Red Gold.
Thinking of the Divine Machine Crossbow in his Qiankun Bag, Ye Fei took out the piece of Red Gold without any hesitation.
Then he said.
"Here you go."
"You should have said so earlier."
"I thought it was something big."
"You've already given me something of equivalent value."
"Consider this Divine Machine Crossbow as our mutual exchange."
Seeing that Ye Fei had no reluctance and had generously given him the Red Gold, Elder Qi was extremely excited and repeatedly expressed his gratitude.
"Thank you, thank you!"
"Young friend Ye, if you encounter any problems during this period, feel free to come to me!"
"If I'm not around, just find Xiao Feng."
Elder Qi was overjoyed, already envisioning in his mind how to maximize the effectiveness of this piece of Red Gold.
As for Qi Xinlian, she had developed quite an interest in Ye Fei.
She made up her mind that she must find time to spar and compete with Ye Fei.
"Ye Fei, allow me to introduce myself. I am Elder Qi's daughter, Qi Xinlian."
"I arrived a little late just now, so I didn't witness the entire process of you refining the Divine Machine Crossbow."
"But seeing the finished product of this Divine Machine Crossbow, I can tell that your refining skills are undoubtedly excellent. So, shall we have a spar sometime?"
This was essentially a challenge. Facing the challenge, Ye Fei naturally had no reason to refuse and immediately agreed.
"Of course, you arrange the time and then notify me."
Seeing Ye Fei's fearless attitude, Qi Xinlian's heart burned with eagerness, wishing she could compete with Ye Fei the very next moment.
However, she also knew that Ye Fei had just finished a spar and his energy must be depleted. She didn't want to take advantage of him, so she temporarily gave up the idea of sparring with Ye Fei.
There would be plenty of time in the future; no need to rush.
"Well then, farewell!"
Ye Fei cupped his hands.
Then, he and his senior sister headed towards the small courtyard where they were temporarily staying.
As for Elder Qi, he continued to stay in the refining room.
Meanwhile, Qi Xinlian and Bai Feng also walked towards the dormitory.
"Junior Sister, absolutely do not spar with that brat Ye Fei!"
"That kid is full of lies."
"Do you really believe he was refining weapons for the first time today?"
"He just wants to hog the spotlight and enjoy being praised by everyone!"
Bai Feng was confident that given his relationship with his junior sister, she would definitely side with him. But after he finished speaking, Qi Xinlian directly shook her head and said.
"Impossible!"
"My intuition has always been accurate!"
"I believe that Ye Fei is telling the truth!"
"There's no reason for him to lie to us!"
Thinking of Ye Fei's performance just now and his calm demeanor, Qi Xinlian instinctively felt that Ye Fei was not that kind of person.
"Junior Sister, you can know a person's face but not their heart; it's easier to draw a skin than a tiger's bone!"
"Don't be fooled by his so-called sweet talk!"
"You must believe what senior brother says!"
Bai Feng's heart felt as if it were being wrung out, but he maintained a look of extreme urgency.
"He's only going to be in our Qi Sect for a few months!"
"Guests are guests."
"Senior brother, there's really no need for you to harbor such hostility towards Ye Fei!"
"He's not a threat to you!"
Qi Xinlian continued.
Bai Feng's true thoughts were thus revealed by Qi Xinlian, exposed in the open.
His pupils instantly constricted rapidly, then returned to normal.
After a moment of calm, he continued.
"Junior Sister, you've really misunderstood me. I didn't mean anything of the sort."
"Let me take you back first!"
Seeing that he couldn't persuade Qi Xinlian, Bai Feng had no choice but to temporarily give up.
Afterward, the two of them traveled in silence until Qi Xinlian returned to her residence. Only then did a trace of ruthlessness appear on Bai Feng's face.
He was determined to teach Ye Fei a profound lesson!
With that thought, he quickly left the scene, intending to pay someone to deal with Ye Fei.
Meanwhile, as Ye Fei just returned to the small courtyard where he was staying, a figure anxiously looking out was at the door.
Seeing Ye Fei finally return from a distance, the figure quickly rushed over.
"Brother-in-law, bad news! Something's happened at home!"
"Hurry and come back with me to take a look!"
This figure was Shangguan Ming. He had just returned to study at the Qi Sect and learned through a transmission jade token that someone had come to their home to provoke them, causing utter chaos.
Thinking of Ye Fei's heroic actions in rescuing them last time, Shangguan Ming instinctively regarded Ye Fei as the pillar of support and rushed over to inform him.
"Alright, I'll go back with you now!"
"We can talk about it on the way!"
Then, he instructed Li Qingqing.
"Senior Sister, please excuse me. I have an urgent matter. I implore you!"
Li Qingqing also realized that this matter was likely not trivial, so she readily agreed.
"Don't worry, I will. Be careful on your journey and ensure your own safety!"
