Elder Pu's sudden outburst, he knew without thinking, was for a reason.
It must be that he learned his grandson had died tragically in the Heavenly Burning Secret Realm, which is why he came to trouble Ye Fei.
A clanging sound echoed.
"Since you refuse to listen to reason, then I can only spar with you!"
"Come on!"
"Let me see how powerful Elder Pu's esteemed disciples truly are!"
Nangong Qingxue swiftly drew her sword and directly faced the disciples brought by Elder Pu.
However, she still remembered her duty and dared not leave the main gate by half a step.
Therefore, her fighting was timid and hesitant, preventing her from utilizing her full potential.
"You stinking wench, get out of my way!"
"Although I, this young lord, do not hit women, if you insist on this, then I can only break this rule!"
One of the disciples, wielding a long halberd as his weapon, threatened menacingly.
"Bah!"
"You few are picking a fight with me, a mere weak woman, and you still have the nerve to speak?"
"Today, you will either step over my corpse, or I will not let you pass!"
Nangong Qingxue displayed a stance as if she were the sole guardian of a crucial pass, unyielding against all.
Even so, her heart was filled with trepidation.
She wondered how long she could hold them off.
"Take this woman down!"
"Break down this door!"
The impatient Elder Pu roared with a hoarse voice.
"Yes!"
Upon Elder Pu's command, all the disciples surged towards Nangong Qingxue.
"Old fool, who allowed you to bellow and shout on my territory?"
"I'll count to three, and if you don't leave, I'll escort you out!"
Elder Liu's sudden appearance provided Nangong Qingxue with much-needed relief.
"I say, where is that brat Ye Fei?"
"Hand him over to me quickly!"
"If you dare to shield that brat, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"If you dare to obstruct me, I will kill you along with him!"
Elder Pu was clearly deranged at this point, attacking anyone in sight.
"What exactly is going on?"
"You are truly unreasonable!"
Elder Liu initially wanted to reason with him, but his words were truly offensive.
"What about me?"
"My grandson was murdered during this secret realm trial!"
"Even the guards I assigned to him were killed!"
"Since that brat Ye Fei also participated in this trial, and he had a conflict with my grandson, he must be involved!"
Elder Pu roared again.
"How laughable!"
"This is simply a colossal joke!"
"Without any evidence, you've branded Ye Fei as the murderer of your grandson, it's preposterous!"
"Let me tell you, if you cannot produce any proof, you have no right to deal with Ye Fei!"
"I absolutely will not hand Ye Fei over to you!"
"He is my disciple now!"
Elder Liu rejected him directly with a flick of his sleeve.
"Good, very good!"
"I knew you and that kid were in cahoots!"
"In that case, I will force my way in!"
"Old fool, I have already lost my only grandson, and I have nothing to fear!"
"At worst, it's just death!"
"You are obstructing me like this, not daring to let that brat come out to see me, is it because you have something to hide!"
Elder Pu emitted a guttural sound from his throat, which was terrifying and sent shivers down one's spine.
"I was wondering why a fly was buzzing annoyingly outside, disturbing everyone, but it turns out it's Elder Pu!"
"You keep calling me a brat, is this the upbringing of a Dan Sect Elder?"
"In my opinion, you are truly an unqualified elder!"
Ye Fei picked at his ear and continued.
"You just said your grandson died?"
"In my opinion, you bear the vast majority of responsibility for your grandson's death!"
Ye Fei took a few more steps forward and said each word deliberately.
"Although I didn't interact much with your grandson, your grandson, relying on your influence, acted atrociously and showed no regard for anyone!"
"If you hadn't raised him to be so arrogant and overbearing, he would surely be alive right now!"
"As soon as he entered the secret realm, if he started bullying people with his power again, it's not impossible that he would be killed!"
"So, isn't this your doing?"
"It is you who failed to discipline him, thus leading to today's outcome!"
Every word Ye Fei uttered caused Elder Pu to spit out a mouthful of blood.
His body began to sway precariously.
"Master!"
One of the disciples quickly supported Elder Pu.
"You brat does have a silver tongue!"
"Although we don't have proof yet that your actions are related to Young Master Pu's death, you won't escape either!"
"Just you wait!"
"I don't believe you'll stay in the Dan Sect forever!"
That disciple leaned close to Ye Fei and threatened him overtly.
Afterward, he whispered a few words into Elder Pu's ear.
Seeing Elder Pu's bloodshot eyes fix on Ye Fei, he then left the place, supported by two disciples.
"Phew!"
Only after the last person had left did Ye Fei collapse onto the ground.
If he hadn't forced himself to stay upright, he would have been too exhausted to even move a finger.
"Ye Fei, are you alright?"
Seeing Ye Fei collapse, Nangong Qingxue asked anxiously.
"I'm fine, just exhausted. I'll be alright after I rest."
Ye Fei panted heavily; the process of reshaping his senior brother's dantian had consumed all his strength.
At this moment, all he wanted was a good sleep.
"Don't worry, Senior Brother is out of danger, but he is still refining the medicinal properties of the Lesser Returning Pill. He should wake up in a few days."
After Ye Fei finished speaking, with Nangong Qingxue's support, he went to sleep in a guest room in Elder Liu's courtyard.
Ye Fei woke up leisurely after sleeping until the sun was high in the sky.
"It's been a long time since I had an uninterrupted sleep, it feels so comfortable!"
Ye Fei said with ease.
His nerves had been incredibly taut during this period.
Now that he finally had two days of rest, he was even more reluctant to get out of bed.
Knock, knock, knock.
Just as he was about to go back to sleep, there was a knock at the door.
Accompanying it was Nangong Qingxue's voice.
"Ye Fei, are you awake?"
Ye Fei lay half-reclined on the bed, exuding a lazy demeanor.
"Please come in!"
As soon as she pushed the door open, Nangong Qingxue saw Ye Fei with his robe half undone, wearing only his inner garment.
Her originally fair and rosy face instantly blushed.
"Ye, Ye Fei, this is the breakfast I cooked for you. Please get up and eat something!"
"Ahem, you should put on your clothes before eating!"
"I, I'll go out first!"
Before Ye Fei could even speak, Nangong Qingxue placed the food container down and left the room directly.
"Sigh, is there anything improper about my clothes?"
"It seems her skin is too thin!"
Ye Fei muttered to himself.
