The old man's face turned green upon hearing this. He stroked his beard and chuckled awkwardly, "Hahaha, Brother Tang, you jest. Although I am the sect leader of the Zhenbao Sect, I cannot make the decision to exchange three of our sect-guarding treasures."
The Zhenbao Sect's enduring presence among the top-tier powers relied on its five sect-guarding treasures. If one were missing, it might be manageable. But to lose three at once could very well undermine its very foundation.
Tang Junsheng knew in his heart that this old fox would never agree.
On the martial stage, Zhang Xiaoqiang carried Lu Ping on his back and walked out of the arena.
On the way back to the hotel, Yu Daochen had been pondering how Lu Ping came to know the Huiyuan Technique.
Upon returning to the hotel, Zhang Xiaoqiang carried Lu Ping upstairs.
In the evening, Yu Daochen and the others ordered a table full of dishes. Of course, Hongxing Erguotou was indispensable.
At the dinner table, Su Lai looked at Zhang Xiaoqiang beside him and said, "Brother Qiangzi, your young fellow is quite impressive. He even managed to defeat Zheng Ke. After this battle, he'll likely become famous. Coupled with his identity as a true disciple on the Black List, it's like adding wings to a tiger."
Seeing Yu Daochen looking solemn since watching the match, Su Lai joked, "Perhaps it won't be long before he catches up to Master Yu."
Yu Daochen smiled faintly, knowing Su Lai was joking, and boasted shamelessly, "Come on, my reputation wasn't earned so easily."
Even so, Lu Ping's battle would undoubtedly bring him great fame.
"Speaking of which, tomorrow is that kid Zhou Fu's match. Who is his opponent?" Su Lai asked again.
Yu Daochen thought for a moment and replied, "It seems to be a disciple from a small sect. Zhou Fu should have no problem."
At half-past eleven at night, the group, having eaten and drunk their fill, retired to their respective rooms.
In his room, Yu Daochen lay on the bed, still contemplating the Huiyuan Technique. Suddenly, his phone in his pocket vibrated.
Yu Daochen took out his phone and saw a text message from a number saved as "Feng."
"Waiting for you at the hotel entrance."
Seeing that it was a text from Liu Feng, Yu Daochen got up to go out.
"Sect Leader, are you going out?" Zhou Fu, who was sitting cross-legged on the other bed, asked.
Yu Daochen nodded, "I'm going down for a bit. You should get some rest, you have a match tomorrow."
Zhou Fu nodded obediently, and Yu Daochen then left the room.
Outside the hotel, Yu Daochen saw a familiar figure standing under the streetlight from a distance.
Yu Daochen walked up to him. Liu Feng pulled down his hat and teased, "What, are you missing me?"
Yu Daochen rolled his eyes. Why was this guy still the same, never saying anything serious?
"By the way, you know about what happened today, right?" Yu Daochen asked about the Huiyuan Technique.
Liu Feng nodded and said after some thought, "This Huiyuan Technique was indeed created by you in the past. As for how that kid Lu Ping can use it, it's impossible that he obtained it through Xu Feng's memories."
Hearing Liu Feng say this, Yu Daochen nodded. It seemed his guess was correct.
"Then where did Lu Ping's Huiyuan Technique come from? I don't recall Xu Feng ever taking any disciples," Yu Daochen asked, puzzled.
Liu Feng recalled for a moment and began to explain, "Because of love!"
"Love?" Yu Daochen was completely baffled. Could it be that Xu Feng was also a romantic figure back then?
"He didn't seem like it. Who would be blind enough to like that narcissist?"
"That's right, it was indeed because of love." Liu Feng nodded and explained the whole story.
"Back then, Xu Feng was a handsome young man known for miles around, and he achieved fame at a young age. Naturally, there were no shortage of girls who liked him. Among them, there was one girl who liked him to a pathological degree. In your current language, she was a brain-dead fan, a super brain-dead fan."
"Back then, Xu Feng saved a girl from a monster. It was nothing special at first, but that girl insisted on repaying him with herself, absolutely insisting on repaying him with herself, the kind that couldn't be stopped."
"Seeing that persuasion was useless, Xu Feng simply left."
"He thought the matter was over, but who would have thought that this little girl not only didn't give up but became even more fanatical, chasing after Xu Feng relentlessly. Wherever Xu Feng fled, that little girl followed."
"In the end, Xu Feng, with no other choice, proposed a condition: if the girl could fulfill it, he would marry her."
"And that condition was to learn the Huiyuan Technique. Xu Feng taught the Huiyuan Technique to that girl and then left."
"The girl also kept her promise and began to cultivate diligently."
"However, what the girl didn't know was that the Huiyuan Technique was extremely difficult to cultivate. For someone with low talent, it might take at least three years to learn, and it was even more difficult for women."
"Xu Feng's original intention was to make the girl give up."
"But who would have thought that the girl actually learned the Huiyuan Technique."
"However, the day she learned it was also the day Xu Feng had his final battle with the gods."
"That's roughly how it happened." Liu Feng shook his head helplessly.
To be honest, he also admired the girl's willpower.
After listening, Yu Daochen was somewhat surprised, "I didn't expect I was quite popular back then."
"But honestly, it's not me boasting, but my appearance and Xu Feng's appearance in that life were indeed enough to captivate a large number of young girls."
"No wonder that girl was so infatuated."
"Of course, my appearance was still a little bit higher than Xu Feng's."
