Nangong Qingxue had not gone far, but waited outside the room.
In her mind, she kept replaying Ye Fei's disheveled appearance from earlier.
The blush that had finally faded reappeared on her face.
It was only after a rustling sound that Nangong Qingxue coughed softly and walked back in.
Ye Fei was already dressed and enjoying his breakfast.
With a slurping sound, Ye Fei finished the last spoonful of congee.
"I never expected my junior sister's cooking to be so good. I truly have a fortunate palate!" Ye Fei exclaimed.
"Stop your sweet talk!" Nangong Qingxue chided playfully.
Such words, like a spoiled child's, made Ye Fei tremble.
"Junior sister, please speak plainly. Senior brother cannot handle this!"
Nangong Qingxue's previously good mood was instantly overshadowed by dark clouds!
"You are simply unreasonable!"
"I'm leaving!"
"Hmph!"
Picking up the food box, Nangong Qingxue left Ye Fei's room.
"What did I do to offend her again?"
"Truly, a woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea!"
Ye Fei was amused and bewildered, completely baffled.
However, he didn't dwell on it for too long. Elder Pu now viewed him as the murderer of his grandson, so he had to find a means of self-preservation as soon as possible.
With this thought, he could no longer lie down. With a flip like a carp, he sat up.
It seemed he had to make another trip to the Pavilion of Rare Treasures.
It would be great if he could acquire some hidden weapons.
After bidding farewell to Elder Liu, he was led by Elder Liu out of the Dan Sect via a small path.
It wasn't until noon that he finally arrived at the Pavilion of Rare Treasures.
"Mr. Ye, please come in quickly!"
This time, as Ye Fei stepped into the Pavilion of Rare Treasures, he happened to be met by Gu Bing, who had just seen a client out.
A hint of worry appeared on her face.
After they returned to Gu Bing's office, she didn't even have time to pour Ye Fei tea before she poured out all the information she had obtained to him.
"Mr. Ye, to be frank, I've learned that someone has offered a high price to buy your life!"
"And the employer has commissioned the Seven Kill Pavilion!"
Ye Fei thought of Elder Pu's resentful expression yesterday and was not surprised.
However, Ye Fei had never heard of this "Seven Kill Pavilion."
"What kind of existence is the Seven Kill Pavilion?"
"To be honest, my knowledge of the Desolate Domain is indeed limited!"
"Please enlighten me, Miss Gu!" Ye Fei said with cupped hands.
Gu Bing was also somewhat surprised. She truly hadn't expected Ye Fei to be unaware of an entity like the Seven Kill Pavilion.
Composing herself, she proceeded to explain the rules of the Seven Kill Pavilion to Ye Fei one by one.
"Mr. Ye, the most crucial point of the Seven Kill Pavilion is that once a commission is accepted, it is a fight to the death!"
"Therefore, you are truly in trouble this time!" Gu Bing frowned.
"If they persistently pursue you, you will never have a moment of peace!"
"I see."
"Thank you for informing me of this news!"
Smiling, Ye Fei showed no trace of fear.
"However, we cultivators have always gone against the heavens!"
"To be envied by none is to be mediocre!"
"I await them to come and hunt me!"
"But Miss Gu has also reminded me that for the safety of my life, I should make some preparations!" Thinking of his purpose for coming here, Ye Fei spoke directly.
"In that case, are there any suitable hidden weapons here?" Ye Fei asked.
Speaking of hidden weapons, Gu Bing thought of a shop opened by her good friend in the Desolate Domain.
"Mr. Ye, I do have a shop to recommend to you!"
"In the west of the city, my friend has opened a shop specializing in hidden weapons. However, my friend's personality is rather eccentric, and she acts without any standards. But I can guarantee that all the hidden weapons she produces are the finest of the finest!"
"Of course, the price is naturally extremely high!"
Ye Fei was a little excited upon hearing this.
"I'm rather interested and wish to go and investigate!"
Gu Bing was also very happy, as her friend had been asking her to introduce clients to her just a few days ago.
Here, as soon as she felt sleepy, a pillow arrived!
"Mr. Ye, in that case, I won't keep you any longer. Here is the address of my friend's shop. Please keep it safe!"
After handing the address to Ye Fei, Gu Bing got up and saw Ye Fei off.
"I will remember Miss Gu's kindness!"
"Thank you!" Ye Fei said gratefully.
After they parted ways, Ye Fei immediately used his Cloud-Stepping technique and quickly disappeared from Gu Bing's sight.
Meanwhile, at the entrance of a shop in the west of the city, a lively weapon refining competition was being held.
Of course, many participating refiners were aiming for the first prize in this competition.
Winning first place in the competition would earn them a Blood Feather, a hidden weapon personally forged by Master Meng Ji, and a weapon design blueprint!
These were things that countless refiners dreamed of!
By the time Ye Fei arrived, the shop named Myriad Weapons Alliance was already bustling with people.
Furthermore, many refining furnaces were placed outside.
From the chattering voices of the people around, Ye Fei finally learned that a grand weapon refining competition would be held in half an hour.
The prizes had also been announced.
Blood Feather? The first prize was Blood Feather, ranked tenth on the hidden weapons leaderboard!
This was exactly what he needed!
If he participated in this competition and won first place, wouldn't he be able to resolve his current crisis without spending a single coin?
Ye Fei immediately registered!
Then, he calmly waited for the competition to officially begin.
With a thud.
Several elegantly dressed individuals walked out from the imposing main entrance.
They were led by a very beautiful young woman.
"It's the manager of the Myriad Weapons Alliance, Feng Ruoqin!"
"She's so beautiful!"
"I didn't expect her to be so young!"
"I heard she has joined the Refiner's Association and become its youngest member, truly making us feel far behind!"
"If I could achieve half of what she has, I would be content!"
Everyone was discussing animatedly.
All these voices reached Ye Fei's ears.
"Everyone, quiet down!"
"Listen to me!"
"I believe everyone is already clear about the rules of this competition, so I will not elaborate further!"
"I hope everyone will display their best abilities in this competition and win!"
"For this annual weapon refining competition, we have also prepared generous prizes. The top three finishers will receive rewards!"
"Especially the first prize, which is extremely generous!"
"Alright, time is getting late, so I won't say any more!"
"This weapon refining competition is limited to two hours. All materials have been prepared. Whether it's hidden weapons or weapons, the final grade will be the determining factor!"
"Alright, I now declare that the weapon refining competition officially begins!"
As soon as the words fell, those who were already in position began their initial tasks.
